It's been 6 years since all my wives died. By looking at the current state of this castle no one can guess it was so lively just a few years ago. I have really become an old man now huh, Now i don’t even bother to change my appearance. At Least I trained my kids to be strong enough to survive in this world. It should be that time that they all are going to leave this castle and venture out on their own.
—6 years ago
“As you all are aware of the fact that your mothers died a few days ago, I have decided that I am going to train you all for the next 6 years to become responsible adults.” I have no will to live in this world alone. At Least i should fulfill their dying wish of making our childrens grow strong.
“Huh, So a sorry excuse for a father like you is going to train us to become responsible.” Mother I will find a way to kill this man, I could have killed him right now but DAMN HE IS IMMORTAL(Alec’s inner thoughts).
“I may not be in a position to call myself a responsible father, however I am still the strongest person in this world. After eating your breakfast all of you meet me in the training ground outside.”
Later that day I discovered that some of them are making a plan to leave the castle and live on their own after they complete 6 years of training from me. I guess I should train them more roughly and fill hatred towards myself in their hearts, So none of them is going to have any issue in leaving me behind and venture out with their siblings.
—In present time
“This concludes our last day of training. Now you all have become capable and strong to survive in this world, You all should decide what you're going to do in future.” Like hell they are going to think, they are just going to run away today and think later what academy they are going to join or whatever else, At Least I made them sharp enough that at the age of 10-12 all of them are capable of making rational decisions.
“Takushi-sama, here is tonight's dinner.”
“This looks delicious Chiyome.”They think I don’t know that they added a drug to make me sleep. I wasn't born yesterday, well whatever I guess I should play along with their plan, I have already finished casting a tracking spell on all of them.
“Chiyome, don't tell them that I already know they are planning to run away today and wake me up early tomorrow.” Now I can finally have some rest. This act of not being affected by their deaths is really exhausting to me.
“Takushi-sama wake up my lord.”
“So they finally ran off today.”
“Yes, my lord but Kazuya chose to live here.”
“HUh?.Bring him to me at once.” What the hell was that idiot thinking?
“Yes, my lord.”
“Kazuya, why didn't you leave with your brothers and sisters.”
“I want to stay by your side, father. I was hoping to learn more from you.”
“Ahh it's okay I guess, you were the one who was most attached to me after all. I will train you for 9 more years and I will teach you the finest of magic and everything I have gathered up until now.” Well I guess if he wants to learn from me I can’t deny his request.
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
“Thank you, father.”
10 years later
“Umm. Why am I getting tortured again? These chains kind of hurt.” (speaks in a lethargic tone).
“HUh, So you're finally awake.”(Kazuya saying this while slicing Takushi's head).
With my head on the ground 2m away from my body I finally remember,
After I finished training Kazuya for 9 years one day he came to get his revenge on me. It’s almost been a year since he started torturing me. He thinks this physical pain is too much for me to handle. Little does he know that it's nothing compared to the pain I suffered long ago. Ahh I wish I could have just died alongside them then we could have at least been together, Curse you immortality.
“I know I can’t kill you but that doesn’t mean you don’t feel the pain. I will make you suffer for your actions. YOU COULD HAVE SAVED THEM YOU HAD CONNECTIONS WITH GOD OF CREATION BUT YOU DID NOTHING.”(Kazuya cut’s Takushi’s limbs).
“Say whatever you want like you know the whole story, I don’t even care anymore.” Takushi’s consciousness fades like he has fallen asleep.
After another year of torture, A party of 3 adventurers 2 males and 1 female arrives at Takushi’s rundown castle, they were on a quest for a rare flower which grew nearby his castle. They saw Takushi’s castle and entered inside exploring as they didn’t knew a castle existed in that place then they heard sounds of whip coming from an underground room they suddenly rushed to help.
The room was dark and with only a single lamp as the only source of light, it gave off bad vibes to the adventurers and they attacked in a rush.
“Why are you hurting an old man?, Kakeru, Satoshi attack from the front I will cover your backs!”)
“HUH? JUST WHO THE HELL ARE YOU THREE FOOLS .”
“My name is Kansyu and I cannot allow you to hurt that old man.”
Taskushi regains his consciousness from all that commotion, He observes the battle quietly, Kazuya obliterates the party of adventurers as he got trained by the world’s strongest for 15 years straight, Kakeru and Satoshi were lying on ground when Kazuya grabs Kansyu from her neck while insulting her for being weak, Takushi breaks his chains.
“You are so weak, what they both kept you as their plaything to fulfill their manly desires?”
“Just what the hell are you doing? You idiot son of mine.” Saying while slicing Kazuya’s head.(A long energy sword appeared out of nowhere in Takushi’s hand).
“Wha___ what was that energy sword? I have never seen a spell like that before. You killed him with ease but he was strong.”Just who is this old man?
“Ah yes, I am sorry for my son’s behaviour. This fool will never learn, let me revive him, Apologise to this pretty lady you idiot.”
“Huh, apologise me? for what? And how you can break these chains so easily.”
“You fool, I taught you everything but I didn’t teach you how to disrespect a beautiful woman such as her.”(Saying while slapping Kazuya hard enough that his head smacked the ground).
“I am sorry for harsh words miss Kansyu, it seems I got carried away.”
“Ah yes, no worries.” Beautiful me?(blushes).
“Go heal Kakeru and Satoshi you kicked their ass too hard for nothing. Take these two to bed let them rest and I should clean this castle as well. Restoration magic revert back to your old self.” Well at least I am sure of the fact that he took his training seriously, he beat the hell out of these two.
“Th-Thank you mister.” I am still shocked that he didn’t need our help.
“Well, let's go inside the dining room and chat there. This place is not suited to greet our kind hearted guests.”
