Chapter 4：My First Birthday (2/2)

Within the past few months, Ray discovered a lot.

When his mother was reading him a bedtime story, he found out that the world he had previously lived in was the same world where he was living in at this moment. As for how he discovered the truth?

It was when he realised that the story his mother had told him was about the story of a vicious red dragon that often visited the land to punish naughty kids. The red dragon's name was Sen.

Ray instantly became proud that his name had turned into a household namesake. Often being used to scare children out of their wits. But this also made him sad.

'Just how much time had passed since the passing of my friends and the disappearance of my life?'

For Sen, it seemed as if only a second had passed between him being that so-called vicious red dragon and being a bonafide human being. Back in the days, those that knew the name of the Great Dragon Sen feared his might, but now…

He had become a bedtime story…

Ray could only shake his head and decide that he would delve deeper into this mystery when he got old enough.

Ray's first birthday in this world finally came and he received a sword from his father as a gift.

Needless to say, his mother was angry but it was understandable.

Just what would a child who couldn't even hold a pair of spoon and fork properly do with a sword?

The couple argued for quite a long time and to be honest, Ray could care less.

From time to time, Ray would often eavesdrop, through this he found out that his parents seemed to be working as Adventurers. His father was a Swordsman and his mother was a Mage! The profession seemed to be well respected and there were only two Adventurers in the whole town.

Unsurprisingly, those two people were his parents.

It explained why their residence entertained so many guests everyday…Why they always came bearing gifts.

Adventurers may not be a common sight to see, but mages were as rare as a qilin's feather.

Ray had never seen anyone cast magic before other than his mother who used it a few times when she got into an argument with her husband.

This rarity piqued Ray's interest and he wondered if he could even become a Mage in the future.

If he could, then…

It would make his revenge far easier than he had first expected.
