In the village of Dyrrhachium of Gallic Britannia, lived a poor farmer family. The Rodgers always lived as farmers selling whatever crops they could get their hands on, to afford a living.

Axel Rodgers and his wife Elisa Rodgers already had two sons to take care of, they never went to school due to having no connection to any noble clan and due to their poor living conditions but they had nothing to worry about since their village provided safety.

One day. The village lord, who was loved by the villagers, suddenly died and was replaced by a new lord who immediately announced new irrigation projects claiming that he desires a better life for farmers.

On September 30 of the year 400, a new child was born in the Rodgers family. All the family were extremely happy and celebrated his birth and as per tradition, they went to the local oracle in the village.

After offering gifts, the Rodgers brought their son to the oracle and saw what fate was awaiting him.

"This child shall be important in the future and shall bring  massive changes into this world".

The house:

The parents then brought the baby back to their house and told their older sons, Sam Rodgers, and Elric Rodgers to take care of the baby 

while they were gone from the house to sell their crops and showed them the baby's food.

Once their parents left, the two brothers created an evil plot to deal with the annoyance that is their baby brother.

"Ever since trash was born, our parents keep ignoring us, so it is time to finish him off or starve him." Said Elric after stealing the baby's food and eating it for himself while giving him scrapes.

Once Axel arrived he found the baby sick as he kept starving and was extremely malnourished even when the brothers were there, he hurried to him and quickly healed him and fed him, five minutes later the baby recovered and slept.

He turned to the brothers and asked them what happened, they said that they were hunting for food in the nearby forests and did not do anything.

The Baby started crying again and none was able to calm him down until the two brothers gave him food and whispered in his ears: "Hey trash, if you don't shut your mouth we will shut it for you!" The baby was utterly horrified but didn't cry.

year 410:

Alex now became ten years old, he started displaying unique intelligence.

Axel decided to train him by practicing swordsmanship.

"Son, I need you to prepare for a harsh future, the nobility gives zero fucks about the poor until they have enough power that could topple their rule that is why I will only teach you the basics until next year and as for leadership and survival skills, you need to learn that yourself."

Alex understood the meaning of what he said and for several days they kept training and each day, the training only intensified as he kept failing to land a hit on his father with his wooden sword.

Finally, after four months of training, Axel sent his son to go to the forest of darkness, giving him his real sword and a knife and telling him to stay in the forest for three months while sending the brothers to an adventure guild in the capital.

"Alex, after learning the basics of using the sword now you must learn what combat looks like. I will only give you a bag of your clothes, and tents. Go, I mean now!"

Seeking to make his dad proud, Alex gladly accepted the quest and went on a journey to the forest of darkness.

The Forest of Darkness:

Once Alex reached the forest, he set up his tent at the entrance and started sleeping thinking that no beast would attack him, but he was wrong as he heard the sound of a beast walking near him.

He picked up his weapon and prepared for a fight, five minutes later the beast entered the tent and spoke: "Oi kid, I can kill you in less than five minutes but I am here for something else."

Alex dropped his weapon and started listening to what the beast was saying about training him.

"Ok, that's so sudden but nothing is free so may I ask what will you have in return?" 

"Well, we need an ally in the human world, especially the child of prophecy who will be an important guy"

After their conversation, both Alex and Filipe the dragonkin started training but unlike the training this type of training is real combat as both fighters started fighting fierce battles for days and nights.

This routine continued and Alex kept getting beaten but he kept learning combat techniques while picking food and eating together, after two months of training after two months of training the young fighter learned combat.

The final Month:

After completing the combat training, both the kid and the dragonkin decided to start learning magic.

"Let me try to see what type of magic you have" The moment Filipe touched his belly, he was knocked out and dark energy appeared moreover a note appeared: "This kid's magic is sealed, it will be released if a certain condition is fulfilled that is his death and his parents feeling his loss." After reading it to the kid, Alex was horrified and also scared but decided to accept his fate and told the beast before he dies he said:" Tell my parents that you are innocent and some beast ambushed me and stabbed me in the stomach, tell my father that I will be back to life and that the prophecy will happen."

Filipe immediately killed his student and went to the village.

Dyrrhachium village:

Filipe brought the corpse of Alex to the village, he asked where his parents' house was and he was told the direction.

He politely knocked on the door and Axel opened it immediately thinking his son was back but when he saw his corpse, he was shocked and cried so loud that his wife heard him and went to check what was going on and found out that her son died.

"WHY DID YOU SEND OUR YOUNGEST SON TO HIS DEATH? LOOK AT HIM AXEL, WE HAVE TO BURY HIM IN OUR LITTLE GARDEN TO AVOID FURTHER ATTENTION." Cried, Elisa so hard while taking the corpse from the dragonkin telling him to leave.

A few minutes later, the family started digging a grave outside their house and after finishing it, they dropped the corpse and buried it while praying to the Gods that his soul will be in heaven.

Once they buried him, everybody in the village gave the family food and whatever they could to relieve their feeling of loss.

Unknown to everyone, Alex is about to receive his magic from the divine realm of olympus
