She was short , with blonde hair , blue eyes and pink bright cheeks , she sat next to him with worry painted all over her face , she was young so there wasn't much she could worry about.
But of course her big brother was going to a C-rank dungeon for the first time in his life , it was expected of her to worry , her big brother had taken care of her ever since she was 5 years old so she had grown quite attached to him , she was currently 12 years old and her big brother was 19 years old.
"Ah. Elly , we'll be back alive no need to be a worrywart , has your big brother ever broke a promise ? "
She pouted at his response and her cheeks flushed red , with her eyes tearing - she was ready to cry.
" Ahhhh , Oh come on Elly , I'll be back before you know it , dungeon missions hardly take a week these days. "
Jain responded.

She stood up of her chair and went to embrace her big brother in a hug , while also breaking out in silent tears..
" why do you have to be a hunter ? You could probably *sniff.* get a good job if you looked hard enough *sniff* "
Jain brushed her hair before pulling back and kissing her forehead
" Elly , you know I am not a hunter because I want to...the cost of living is too high and I have to make sure we survive , Mom and Dad left you under my care...and besides , there aren't many jobs someone like me could get anyways. "
Years ago , there was a war , a war which had many casualties , one of those casualties involved the death of Elizabeth and Jain's parents killed by enemy forces. Jain was 12 years old back then , like her younger sister.
You could imagine the horror of watching your parents die infront of you.
Because of that , Jain had to quit school in order to take care of Elizabeth , they were under the care of an orphanage home until Jain reached 16 years old , they kicked both of them out and not just Jain alone.
The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
It was too late for him to go to school , he had a little sister to take care of. so he decided to become a hunter and became the weakest one to exist.
he couldn't collect mana from his surroundings unlike most hunters could , which meant he couldn't use any mana-related techniques to make himself stronger , he couldn't even use most weapons as they required mana in order to use their special attributes.
Regardless , that didn't stop him from trying - when he heard there was a recently opened guild , he immediately joined. Which is where he met his friends in the guild , he was more like a miner than an actual hunter ; what he mined were called " Magic Stones ."
the Magic stones were simply by-products of large amounts of mana accumulated in a dungeon , the mana changed the structure of the surrounding rocks and transmutted them into rocks that looked like diamond ,but were blue in colour and even shone in the dark.
Which is what earned him an income , it wasn't much but it was enough to earn him enough money to get himself and his sister some roof to live under , some food , clothes while also taking her to school ; she was 12 years old , which meant she was at the perfect age to go to school , school only accepted kids starting from 12 year olds and above and she was just the age.
" owkay. Bwig bwother *sniff.* just promise me you'll buy me some sweets when you return.. "
And just like that , she had dropped the argument.
she was young so she couldn't come up with a valid reason for him to stay as she knew it was the only way, while he was away - she'd stay with the neighbours. The neighbours were kind people so they'd happily accept her. They also had a kid , just her age - but he was a boy , but that didn't stop both of them from playing with each other , they were just kids ignorant of how cruel society was.
"I promise , I'll get you a surprise too.. just promise you'll be a good girl and - "
"Hey ! we don't have all day here , brat..let's get moving "
His sentence got cut in half by one of the hunters which were waiting for him to go to the dungeon outside , he figured they grew impatient.
" Eh , coming ! just give me a 8 minutes to take my little sister to the neighbours.. "
" I give you 5.."
" Eh....okay then. "
Jain quickly grabbed his sister and put her on his back , in a bag he had packed all of her clothes and food , along with her favourite teddy bear.
she didn't resist getting the piggy back ride , if anything she enjoyed it
Jain got out of the back door of the house and gently tossed Elizabeth across the fence , he had spoken with the neighbours so they were already aware that he was going to a dungeon, just not to fetch a magic core and Elizabeth would be coming over soon.
" bye , big brother. "
Elizabeth said while looking at her brother on the other side of the fence ,her eyes glittered with hope and her smile was full of kindness.
