The two of them walk in the street while chatting, talking about their background.

"Sven, why do you want to join the military? I mean, there's a plenty way to make money other than throwing your life on the line"

"It's been my dream that I want to fight someone who stronger.For my entire life, I dedicate to training and studying about the skill of weapon, strategies, and more,"

"so you're saying that you are the stronger one, eh?" said Alan while punching Sven's arm

"I'm not said so. what I mean is.. uh, I want to defeat the Demon Lord. yeah, that's it"

"defeat the demon lord huh. I can say that's kinda impossible dream of yours. You know that we never win a single battle with demon lord's army, do you?"

"That is why I'm joining the military, to change the history!" said Sven with enthusiastic.

"hahaha, I see you trust your strength with confidence. "

"enough with my reason, what's yours?" ask Sven

"mine?? well, I'm looking for my brother"

"what's have to do with you joining the military anyway??"

Alan silent himself makes Sven wondering.

"don't tell anyone about this story," said Alan.  "I barely know anyone in this town, so don't worry" reply Sven

"I'm from an elite noble family, so some of my family members have a worthy talent to brag about it.For example, my father is a high general with a high skill of war. my big brother and sister is an exceptional magician in rank general. My twin is a prodigy if comes to using a sword. They all elite members, except my mother and my little brother. They were born with no talent"

"Wait... you have a twin?? didn't know about that"

"that's your first question?? well yeah, I have twins, the opposite gender. We may twins, but we not close. I personally don't hate her. oh, by the way, she may apply for the recruit this month so you may encounter her"

"why now? didn't she a prodigy and why you have already a knight rank and she doesn't?"

"I join the recruit since ten years old, Back then the military found out about my talent thanks to my big brother. As for my twin, she not interested until now"

"I see, so what happens then?"

"It's all started when my little brother was born, he name is Arwin. He was born with no talents, slow learner.. so my father despises it. Sometimes, when I came home, the bruise and scratch were seen on his body, all because of my father, brother and sister are doing. My mother also had it, since she's the one who protects him. I hate them so I try to fight them, but it backfired, in the end, I gain nothing but total defeat and hurt."

"one day, when I'm in 13 years old and he 8 years old, I get news that Arwin was kidnapped by mountain bandits. I rushed toward to my father's workplace and tell what happens when hopping for him to save Arwin, and then he said-

     *****

"what's the point saving the scumbag, untalented and useless kid? I'm not interested"

"He is my little brother! he is your own son!!"

"I don't recall anything that useless  'thing' is my son, except you, you are my son," said him

"WHY YOU-"

"If you want so badly to save that kid, go on without me"

"Fine, I don't need your help, old bastard!" 

"Ah, if you died, I will revenge for you so don't worry," he said that like pouring oil on the fire, make me really angry and I slammed the door.

I already got information on where the mountain bandit's hideout and I are going alone without my group because I don't want them to get involved.  When arriving, I asked them about where is my little brother, and instead of answering my question, they attack me with the numbers. I had difficulty to deal with them because they are not the ordinary bandit, they somehow wield the sacred treasure, it should be wielded by the high rank. I gained a heavy damage by it, both my arm was broken, and my leg is full of scratch with blood, my body is full of the bruise and slashing sword, and I breathe heavily. Then one of them that their called leader approach me and said.

"If you looking for your little brother, I guess I'm sorry because we already sold him with demon tribe at a middle road earlier. You just a little bit late. Don't worry, we're not gonna slaving you. we will to sen-"

"YOU FUCKERS, IM GONNA KILL ALL OF YOU, BASTARD, YOU HEAR ME!!"

"sigh...I guess I don't have any choice then, Mens, kill him~"

Then suddenly, one by one pirate fall with their head split from its body until all of them dead. I open my eyes, and it was my twin come to rescue me.

"Why you here?"

"Saving your ass, I think," said her

"you usually don't meddle with other people business, so why now?

"Nothing, just want to take a walk"

"Don't joke with me!"

I try to get up, but my strength was gone due to blood loss. but despite that, I still want to save him

"Where are you going?" asked her

"saving my family, of course, you all monster don't know anything about the meaning of family. so back off"

"forget about it, you already beat up, you do not even have strength to stand up and now you're saying to save him.. that impossible, I think"

"shut up, go away"

"with your current state, you're never catch up them, unless it's me who you're talking"

I stopped, then I begging her to save him, but it did not interest her

"why should I?? he's your little brother, right?You already said that we, the monster don't understand the meaning of family.. so that's that, In the first place, I don't have any obligate to save him,"

"no... please. please save him, please save h-" I lost consciousness because of blood loss

when I woke up, I've already in my bed, and my twin was beside me, sitting while reading a book

"Oh, you're already wake up, good evening"

"what happen?"

"after I send you back home, I try to find them until I arrive at the front land of the demon tribe. I was too late, I think"

I cried, mourn with loud," if you prioritize to save him first before me, you could save him, you could!" said me while grabbing her shirt

"If I don't save you, you will die. besides, I already help you by troubling to save you and find your little brother, this is already out of my character, I think" said her while pushing me back and going toward the door to leave me. I continue to cry.

"If you have time to cry, why don't you to train more on your skill. Train more and more until you raise your rank or no one can't defeat you because it will save my time for not always saving your ass"

"You don't have to say it, I already know"

"But even if you training for years, you'll never beat me and that's the fact which already carved in stone of fate. that said,  who knows that Arwin might  be alive in there so,.."

"so?"

"please... train hard to save him... I think" said her

   *****

"sounded nice of your twin," said Sven

"Yeah, well.. how should I say, she neither from my family side nor me, the neutral"

"I see" 

"so that's why I want to join the military, to gain fame, power, and information. Fame for my leadership, power for sacred weapon, and information for my revenge"

"how should I say, good luck with it," said Sven

"that's impossible, because once a child of human enters the demon's territory, they never been alive, except-"

"okay, that my background story. so now you will tell me your story" said Alan

"what? my story?? haven't I told you already??"

"That was why you want to become a soldier, I ask for your background, so tell me"

"Eh... I don't feel like  to tell you"

"don't be like that, come on man"

"Err, alright then... Ahem,  I'm was just a farmer with my family"

"Uhuh, and then??" his eyes sparkling as he hearing with enthusiasm

"We're living a happy life, the end, huh.. what a great story of my life," said Sven

"what's this story of yours, where's the climax??!" asked Alan

"Are you saying, that everyone in their life must have a tragic story like main characters in the storybook?? like hell it has you, dummy. "

"everyone doesn't??"

"No!!, everyone doesn't!"
