For a few moments, it seemed as if everything was perfect.
His secret plan to kill the Mage and set up the orphanage had succeeded, and he was going to settle down in the trade family as Dominic to use his skills and rise among the continent to reach the top, and then help all the others who had the same fate as himself.

He had always been someone with grand ambitions, and that was reflected in the way he had picked up the art that he had now perfected instead of lamenting that there was no food like many of the others in their gang.
He used to naturally inspire others to follow him, and he had had a clear vision.
