When Michel opened his eyes, he was lying on the floor of a simple-style room. The floor felt cold and uncomfortable, so he quickly got up and looked around.

It was a small bedroom.

The bedroom is dominated by a wood-brown color and is very minimalistic. Inside there is only a bed, a wardrobe, a mirror, and a table with a chair.

At the same time that he regained consciousness, he suddenly felt his head ringing. Coupled with the injuries from his battle in the dungeon, he felt like he was going to faint again.

"My whole body hurts like hell," Michel spoke to himself, trying hard to stay conscious as he walked towards the mirror.

He didn't want to faint for the third time.

His last memory before passing out was that he fought against five hunters and killed them.

Afterward, he took all the scoundrel's possessions and threatened him to report himself to the Hunters' Association.

The bastard should have reported the information about the dungeon to the Hunter Association instead of selling it.

It is a crime if someone finds a dungeon but does not report it. That bastard would get a severe punishment from the Hunters' Association.

To be honest, Michel wanted to kill that bastard, but he was too tired to do so.

At that moment, he just wanted to leave the place immediately and rest in a quiet place.

His memory became unclear as he entered the bathroom. As Michel washed his body full of wounds and blood, he suddenly fainted and woke up 4 hours later.

Whether it was luck or not, Michel collapsed in his own home. So, no one found him in such a state.

Michel then treated the wounds on his body using herbs, medicines, and ointments. Despite using all of that, it still wasn't enough to heal all of his wounds.

After getting out of the bathroom, Michel went straight to his bedroom to rest. However, before reaching the bed, he fainted again for the second time.

Such was the case with Michel a few hours ago.

At this moment, Michel was standing in front of the mirror completely naked. The mirror was quite large, and the height of the mirror almost equaled his height.

Michel is 185 cm tall, his body is well-built and chiseled like a statue. Around his right shoulder, neck, and chest, there were large black birthmarks.

This birthmark is shaped like small rune letters that are connected and overlapping.

But the strange thing is, all those rune letters keep moving as if they were living creatures. It looks like a little centipede or something.

"This birthmark is getting bigger." Michel was talking to himself, again. He did have such a habit.

His eyes then shifted to his wounds. The small bruises and scratches had mostly healed, but severe and deep wounds were still visible all over his body.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Michel Sinclair has short dark purple hair, purple eyes, slightly pale white skin, and a handsome face.

As someone who was born into the Sinclair family, he naturally has the characteristics of the family.

And dark purple is the color of the Sinclair Family.

A necklace was coiled around Michel's neck. Although it was called a necklace, it was just a simple string and ring. He held the necklace and then smiled faintly.

"At least, I made a big profit this time."

From the proceeds of his hunting so far in the dungeon, the money he had was more than enough to buy a small house in the center of Esersin City.

Esersin City was a large city ruled by the Sinclair Family.

In the Ashtaleth Empire, noble families comparable to the Sinclair family could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

The Sinclair residence was located in the southern part of Esersin City. In front of the magnificent gate, Michel spoke with the two knights in charge of guarding the gate.

From the way they looked and spoke to him, Michel knew that they were insulting and demeaning him. But he didn't care, he had always been treated that way.

"Our little lord has finally returned home after completing his adventure as a beggar."

If Michel had a bit of power in his family, the knight's tongue would have been cut out for his words.

The gates opened and Michel finally returned to the suffocating Sinclair Family Residence.

***

Libraries are places where Michel often spends a lot of time, especially the library at his father's residence. He can find many interesting books there, which he cannot find in the library at his residence.

Michel also loved the peace of his father's library. But most importantly, it was rarely visited by his siblings.

Moments after Michel entered through the gates of the Sinclair House, he quietly made his way to his room like a thief.

He did so only to avoid his brothers and sisters.

Unfortunately, Michel saw three of his siblings inside his room.

They seemed to be talking about him, who had been missing for three months. Michel did not listen to their conversation, as he went to rest elsewhere.

This week his father was coming home, and that was the reason why Michel came home even though he hated being in this place.

Having no other choice, Michel entered his father's residence unnoticed, and then he walked into the library.

When Michel was picking up some books to read, suddenly a white-feathered sparrow appeared on top of the bookshelf.

"Shit!"

The sparrow disappeared in an instant as if it had never been on top of the bookshelf. He knew it was still up there, watching him.

"I told you, this loser will be hiding in Dad's library after he gets home."

Three young men of the same age suddenly approached him. Michel knew them all, they were his asshole stepbrothers.

Three of them had some characteristics of the Sinclair Family, such as dark purple hair and slightly pale skin. But other than that, they couldn't compare to Michel.

The young man in the middle with long hair is Rowan Sinclair. While the fat young man on his left is Daniel Sinclair. Meanwhile, the bespectacled young man on her right is Alex Sinclair.

Michel knew why they had come to him. Their reason was very simple, what else if not to bully him?

Rowan suddenly kicked Michel in the stomach. Michel groaned, the kick hitting his unhealed wound squarely.

'Should I cut off his leg now? No, I have to be patient a little longer. It's only a matter of time before I repay what they've done to me.'

His body hit the bookshelf so hard that the sound could be heard throughout the room. As a result, several books fell to the floor.

After that, Rowan immediately grabbed Michel's hair and lifted him.

"Did you hear what this scum said? He's saying shit, he's saying it to us."

"After disappearing for three months, are you underestimating us now!" Alex snapped while punching Michel in the face.

Michel didn't fight back and just endured the pain of the punch.

"Didn't I tell you last time, you'll die if you disappear again! What exactly are scum like you doing out there." Alex still hadn't stopped beating Michel as he said these words.

"Family disgraces like you shouldn't be allowed out! If you go out, you'll only embarrass us!" Alex delivered a final punch to Michel's stomach.

One strike landed on his unhealed wound, and Michel winced in pain.

"You're going to die today, scum! But if you say that line, we might treat you more gently," Daniel said with a sardonic smile.

Michel's gaze fell on Daniel's mouth, which was always spitting out the garbage when he spoke.

"Tell me quickly! Tell me that your mother is a pathetic whore who lives to serve every man's dick!"
