After hearing my mother story, the last words that she told me began to resonate on my mind
“There should be no secrets between families”
Those words made me doubt my actions thus far. I started questioning myself
“Would it be alright to tell my family about my secret?” “But if I do, how would they react?” “Would they think that I am a monster?”
My mother after seeing that I was feeling down, she asked me.
“Ryuu, are you feeling okay?” “Honey, you know that you can tell mom about everything that is troubling you, right?”
With a forced smiled, I said
“Yes, mom” “I know”
She didn't pressure me seeing that I didn't want to talk, but she told me that if I ever need somebody to talk about my problems, mommy would be there for you.
After we finished our talk, I left the room. I needed to be alone at least for little while.
Right now, I don't want to think about my situation. I will deal about it later. If you are thinking that I am running away from my problems, then you are absolutely right. I have too much to lose. What if they don’t accept me after knowing my secret? I don’t want to lose my family. Not again.
I needed to calm myself down, so I told my family that I was going to play outside.
They said that it was okay, but while I was leaving, I saw an evil grin on their faces. It seemed that they were planning something, but I didn’t give too much importance.
After leaving my house, I went directly to the forest. I wanted to train because I want to forget about my worries, at least for now. But that was one of the two reasons of why I was going to the forest. The other reason was because I wanted to know more about the forest.
When I was getting scolded because of my disappearance and because I went inside the forest, my parents told me about how dangerous the forest is. They didn't tell me about the forest, so there was regret on their faces. They told me that the forest is divided in 7 levels. They told me that warriors and mages of the 4th rank were allowed to enter to the edges of the forest, or the level 1 of the forest. Warriors and mages of the 5th rank could go a little deeper and reach to the level 2 of the forest. Warrior and mages of the 6th rank went deeper than the warriors and mages 5th rank and reach to the level 3 of the forest, and so on until warriors and mages of the 10th rank that are the only ones allowed to go to the center of the forest where the level 7 was located. Just by thinking on the monsters that I may encounter, I got excited. I didn’t have a fight in a long time.
Now that I remember, the isolated part where I trained wasn't too deep inside the forest. But I didn’t find any monster. Were they scared? Well, I may get my answer inside the forest.
After thirteen minutes, he arrived at the forest. Because he wanted to test if his theory was right, he hide his strength.
He entered the forest, and after three minutes, he saw that a beast that was looking at him. It was an ogre. This ogre was seven feet tall, he has green skin, and he has a two meter Morningstar as a weapon. The ogre, confident of himself, went to attack the kid without thinking twice. That was the worst mistake that this ogre could’ve done.
After noticing that the ogre was rushing towards him, Ryuu showed a big grin on his face. He used his darkness element on his right arm, then he formed his right hand like a pistol. He aimed for the head of the ogre, then he released his attack, which created a hole with the size of a bullet in the face of the ogre.

The attack that he used is called Dark Bullet, which create bullets made by darkness.
The battle did not even last a minute before the ogre feel down to the ground lifeless.
After finishing his battle, he continued to go further into the forest.
All monster in the level 1 of the forest that crossed his path were slaughtered.
Now, he is in the level 2 of the forest and the first monster that face him was a Cerberus. He tried to finish the monster with Dark Bullet, but when he shot the Cerberus evade it and went for the attack. Surprised and excited because this was the first time that a monster has evaded this attack since he entered the forest, he rushed to the Cerberus. He knew that if he used his normal attacks he would easily killed the Cerberus, so to train himself he wasn’t going to use his normal attacks instead he would use martial arts.
It was a long time since he used his clan’s martial arts, which consisted on hitting the pressure point on the adversary. So, he was going to try it one more time against this monster.
The Cerberus attacked him with one of his claws, but Ryuu evaded the claw. After he evaded the claw, with two fingers he pressed the pressured points that were in the legs of the Cerberus. After he finished hitting the pressured points, the Cerberus was paralyzed.
He sighed after seeing that the Cerberus could not fight anymore. So, he started to walk away from the Cerberus.
“It seemed that this monsters are not as tough as my mom told me. I had my expectations too high”
He practically was getting bored, so he planned to release his strength that he was hiding. He planned to do that because he wanted to find a monster that would put him a good fight. If a monster would not get afraid after he saw his powerful aura, then he would get a good monster to fight.
But then, I noticed that three persons were following me. It was a man and two women. Because they were too far away, I could not see their faces clearly. The man has grey hair, one of the woman has blond hair and the other has red hair.
The man and the woman with blond hair emit a powerful aura, but the woman with the red hair does not. It seems like she’s your average magician or warrior.
“I got a familiar vibe from these people, but the only people that I know who has the same traits are……No, impossible” I thought
It seems that my worst fear has become true. But I did not want to believe, so I asked them
“Who are you?” "Why are you following me?"
They realized that they were found, then the girl with the blond hair said
“Ryuu, what are you doing here?”
