Alejandro's nose bled as he kneels on the ground, looking down at the hard wood floor. He saw the blood falling into the floor and pondered, "Whose blood is this?", he then touches his nose and realized that it is his blood coming out of his nose.

"So, are you still not gonna practice magic?", A tall height with an average looking man asked Alejandro as the boy starts to stand up.

"Never!", Alejandro charged to the man with a frustrated face with a clenched angry fist.

SWOOSH

Alejandro was blasted away to the wall, he then starts to puke blood, covering his white shirt with red bloody liquid.

"Hmph, I'm disappointed. You're still a boy after all. Talk to me when you're ready to learn about magic. Magic is the only way to survive in this harsh world, you're better off dead if you have no interest in magic."

The tall man is Alejandro's father, a despicable man that will do anything just for Alejandro to be interested in magic. His name is John, he only have low level of magic but rather explosive types of magic.

The boy, Alejandro, is only 12 years old. He does not have any interest about magic nor learning about it. He might be the only person in the entire world with a mindset like this. As literally all people in the world have magic, even majority of them only has low to medium level of magic. The important thing is having magic, because there are things in the world that you will instantly die just because you have no magic. Let's say, a man travels around the forest and encountered a bear with a snake head, then this creature attacks the man. However, the man has no magic, thus the result is being him dead, lying on the floor.

In this world, creatures like a bear with a snake head exists, these kinds of creatures are aggressive and are dangerous to humans. This reason is why majority of the humans started to learn magic, simply to defend their selves.

"Goddamnit!", Alejandro shouted as his father walked out the room, leaving the poor boy alone.

"I will never want to learn about magic! I don't care how useful it is to other people, I don't find it cool nor manly!"

Learning magic in this world is very simple, it is like learning how to cook a simple rice. However, not everyone is blessed with a great magic level. Once a person learns magic, the concept of magic itself will automatically tell the person what level their magic is.

If a person has a low level of magic, they can improve this level into medium level in 20 years by practicing and leveling up their mana storage. However, leveling up a mana storage is like taking care of a boar. One must eat and drink magic food types, these types of foods are rather expensive if you are only a regular human with a regular job with a decent pay.

Even as a 12 years old boy, Alejandro realized this kind of system long ago. He knows that his parents only works in a bar, thus having decent amount of money. By realizing this, Alejandro's hate towards magic grew even stronger. He knows only rich people can be strong in magic and can level up their magic level even faster by having unlimited resources.

Alejandro took off his dirty shirt and goes to kitchen to grab something to eat. He sees a fresh bread in the table, a delicious scent can be smelled just by standing afar.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Just before Alejandro can grab the fresh bread, his mother slapped his hand.

"You disgusting worthless kid! You dare roam in my house, stripped naked?! You don't even deserve to eat in the first place! I mean what do you even do in this house, huh?!"

"But moth-", Alejandro's mother immediately cuts him off, shouting to him even louder.

"You don't have magic because you don't want to learn about it, that is why you quit going to school because your teachers and classmates bully you everyday! The only thing you do here is doing push ups and sit ups everyday like that is gonna help you!"

Alejandro looked down as he continues to listen to his mother. His face does not have any expression as he already grew in this type of conversations with his mother and father everyday.

"What is the look on your face?! Not listening to me again huh? Why do I even let you live in this house?..."

Alejandro was very hungry at this moment, he has not eaten in the past 3 days. Because of the hungriness, his instinct and reflex immediately ordered his hand to grab the fresh bread.

As he was about to grab the bread by his right hand, his mother immediately cast a spell on his arm. A spell that puts his hand into zero motion, thus Alejandro's entire right arm froze.

"You sneaky little rat. You don't have any manners. He's right, you're still a boy after all. A naïve boy to be specific."

Little did his mother know, Alejandro's everyday workout did not go into vain. This spell is too weak. Even if this type of skill is powerful, if the person using it only has low level magic, then this is nothing to Alejandro.

The mother's eyes suddenly opens widely and shocked as Alejandro broke free out of her spell.

"What?! How can this be?! This is impossible!"

Alejandro managed to take one bread and ran away from his despicable mother.

He is about to go outside to eat the bread that he has stolen. Even if he is running, he starts to eat the bread like a dog that has not been fed by many days.

"Oh man! I haven't eaten in so long! This bread is delicious! Too bad it has barely any protein."

I don't care if they think I'm still a boy! I'm not foolish enough to be deceived by their words, they just want me to learn about magic! They think too shallow about the situation and in life. No wonder they are just low level magic user.

When Alejandro opened the front door that leads to outside, his father stands before him.

"Oh no! It's father! He's going to beat me up again!" Alejandro thought as he saw his father standing outside looking at him.

"Alejandro, I want you to meet someone."

"What? Who is it father?"

John then steps aside to reveal someone behind him.

"This is Raphael, your new brother."

"What?!" Alejandro was very shocked about this information. He did not have a brother until at this very moment.

Just who is this brother of mine that father is talking about?!

"Hello. Nice to meet you, I am Raphael. I will be staying in here starting today." Raphael approach and greeted Alejandro.

But to no avail, Alejandro was dead silent and just watched Raphael's hand, making a gesture of handshake.

"I heard that you don't have any magic? Father told me you're still a boy that needs to learn." Raphael started to make conversation to Alejandro after he puts down his hand because it seems Alejandro does not want to handshake with him.

"What?... Father told you about that?..."

"Don't worry, I will tell not a single soul about your pettiness."

Alejandro was furious about Raphael's reply, he starts to clench his fist, ready to punch Raphael at any moment.

"Now, now. Let's not make a scene children, the two of you go inside. I am excited to introduce you to your mother, Raphael."

"Yes, I am also excited father. I can't wait to see her."

John and Raphael went inside, talking sweet to each other as they walk forward to where Alejandro's mother is.

I can't believe this! A brother of mine that shows up just now?! Have mother and father not told me anything about this? Wait, but I heard father that he is excited that Raphael will finally be able to meet mother! That means only father knows about Raphael's existence!

I smell bad aura and vibes on this Raphael guy, I must learn who he really is and what are his intentions!
