* BOOM * * Desperate screams *
A beast had fallen in the middle of the improvised field.
But not any beast.
It is a gray-scale dragon, which was looking at all humans as ants.
The Dragon began to kill humans one by one in different ways.
The more people killed the Dragon, the more its scales turned black but only when all its scales turned black, the dragon let out a roar of happiness as it shook its body and felt renewed.
After its scales turned black the Dragon lost its interest in the Humans, although it was being attacked, the Dragon felt nothing.
Only before he left he released a reinforced sonic roar with mana that ended up destroying most of the camp.

* sharp noise *
I can not hear anything, I see people screaming but, I can not hear anything.
The place is a mess before there were some barricades made with sandbags and some tents, but now there is no sign of that, the trucks that brought me here are overturned or destroyed.
I can not find Hikari anywhere ...
'HIKARI!' I look everywhere but I see no sign of her.
'The area of civilians disappeared' It was the only thing I thought when I turned where there is now a crater the size of a coliseum.
I approach with a few steps, but for each step that gave close to the place, an abyss began to grow inside me.
'...'
"Ren-chan! How was the school... "The image of my mother with a smile appeared in my mind when I returned from school.
"It was fun mom" I answered cheerfully.
"Ren just one step at a time" The voice of my father when I took my first steps and wanted to run with happiness ...
'I just wanted to be free for a moment ...' I thought at that moment.
"Happy ... happy birthday!" My two parents singing to me happy birthday while they give me my gift ...
'It was not necessary…'
"IT'S MY SON ... I HAVE A SON!" My dad got drunk the first few nights when I was born.
"Ren-chan smiles!" My mom taking pictures whenever she could.
"Sweet dreams Ren-chan" The image of my mother hugging me to go to sleep also appeared, but instead of feeling consoled, only the abyss inside me grew.
"I love you!" A 2-year-old me embracing my parents said those words from the bottom of my heart and my parents at that moment cried with happiness because it was my first time talking.
"Son, come back early because I prepared a cake!" The image of my parents smiling while going out to the park that night.
""We will continue to wait for you ... my lotus"" For a moment I thought I saw the image of both smiling at me as they retreated to some unknown place and the tears I was holding began to flow.
The image of my parents became increasingly difficult to visualize, I felt a knot in my stomach and could not make a sound to vent. I want to reach them and not let them go, but my body doesn't respond.
"N-NOO-O!!" My voice could not create more words apart from my crying.
My mind is a mess and it hurts.
[User in a Critical state the ability [Mind in Calm] doesn't work properly.]
[The User is suffering from a rampant Mana]
[The User is in a Critical state!]
[The User is in a Critical state!]
[The user is in a critical state!]
[The user is in a critical state!]
...
In the end, I only saw the silhouette of an unknown thing flying in the air as it moves away while the darkness consumed me ...

"Agh" I feel a sharp pain in my head.
'Where ...' I am apparently in an improvised infirmary, watching that I have nothing connected to my body I get up from my place, although I almost lost my balance but I manage to stand up.
There are several people on stretchers or even on the ground receiving first aid.
there were three people that I knew, but one of them was in bed resting, Hikari's father was completely bandaged and there were two empty potions on the floor.
It came to my mind that I should be happy for Hikari but my heart was not.
I withdraw from the first aid tent.
Once I got out of there, I managed to see a new improvised encampment.
We are not far from the original position, some soldiers were carrying bags full of sand or earth to build the walls.
"I already told you !, THAT THE DRAGON DAMNED FALL WITH PURPOSE ON THE CIVILIAN'S AREA!!" A bitter voice rang in the distance.
"LIE!" Now a voice angry.
"CURSE, DEAF ****, I LOOK HOW THAT DRAGON CHANGE OF DIRECTION!" The bitter voice again.
I turn in the direction and see that it is a Soldier which is surrounded by several people and they are unloading their fear on him.
'Then that was a Dragon...'
"Hey, you! If you don't have anything to do better, help us!" A soldier who was passing by with a sandbag screamed at me.
"..." I just looked at it and went to a truck full of bags of dirt.
'They have to weigh about 20kg or more' If I hold it with one arm it is heavy but if I do it with both it becomes too light.
The soldiers who noticed that I could carry one effortlessly took the idea of giving me two more to carry.
Already with the third, I had problems but still managed to take them.
The first 5 times was difficult, the sixth became a challenge, the ninth seemed impossible but I went ahead.
-
-
The days passed and I was always helping with carrying the bags, then placing them like a wall.
I did that task for 6 days and I got the reward of [+2 STR] which made the task easier.
When we finished building the walls, I was left with nothing to do until I was invited to the soldiers' daily routine.
During that time they asked me questions like; And your parents? Why are not you with the other civilians? Do not you demand too much? etc.
I was in the same daily routine with the soldiers until their way of training could not increase my stats if I followed the same routine. (+2 AGI +2 STR)
Hikari's father has not woken up from the coma but is no longer in a critical situation like at the beginning, thanks to the potions, and I have not talked to them.
But I do tasks to maintain the quota, you have to do at least 6 tasks per family, these tasks are simple and are to help the camp and the one that does not help, will not have food.
The tasks are only to support the soldiers.
How to carry dirtbags to build the wall.
On the 27th day, I asked to go hunting, I wanted to be stronger and I only knew one.
Only she refused and instead of letting me go alone to hunt.
She sent some men to bring a goblin, which would be used for the test, which was that if I killed him she would let me go out to hunt.
For 'she' I mean the captain.
I did not have to wait long because they already had some, since about four days ago, they began to gather information about the scale of damage, the difference between statistics.
There was no stadium or a special place for the test, it was simply outside the camp.

The soldiers went by a goblin, not anybody, according to the branch of explorers, it is a level 6, is one that has exceeded the first limit imposed on them.
Its strength is by a large margin greater than the previously found goblins.
*The captain requested this goblin because she wants to show reality to the conceited child.*
But when they came to the area improvised by the soldiers for the test.
There were 10 soldiers surrounding a large area which is a site dug by civilians, for soldiers with the purpose only known to them.
Ren was inside this bowl looking at how they left the goblin sedated in the middle of the field.
Minutes passed until the goblin reacted and rose from its place.
He looked at everyone with hatred but did not move from his place because he began to analyze his surroundings.
Ren was the only one who did not expire a threatening aura, the goblin to notice this was angry, he knew something similar because they were in their habits to hunt any beast weaker than them and use them as a test of courage. And now, he is the weak beast that has to be killed.
He was quite angry that he goes into berserk mode before his time.

The moment the goblin showed signs of awakening, Ren drew his sword and dragged it across the floor with the unfinished side and began to walk around it.
The moment the Goblin touched his weapon that was a rusty sword, Ren activated his ability and began to run as he dragged his sword across the floor and lifted a curtain of dirt.
At some point, the sound of Ren's footsteps ceased to be heard and the place was only filled with the sound of the goblin breathing agitatedly.
The soldiers could only see the silhouette of the Goblin instead looking for Ren, but just when he found him through its nose, Ren let himself be seen only to kick it in the jaw and lift it off the ground, then Ren uses another skill while The goblin was in the air.
"[CUTTING FLASH!]" The dust in the air was cleared by the force of the mana thus showing how Ren was fired towards the goblin until making a horizontal cut in it, which caused the goblin to hit the ground with force.
[-206HP] CRITICAL!
Only two strokes were enough to reduce the life of the goblin to a little more than half. (49.80%)
The goblin continued being dragged by the ground by the force of the blow that received, but when finally it could maintain by its two legs a force forced to it to bend down.
When Ren touched the ground, he approached the goblin, when he came to it and saw that it was trying to get up, Ren simply placed his leg on top of it and forced it to bend over.
At first, it was easy to hold it down but the goblin was not weak and it showed it to be able to get up again, but Ren did not stare.
Ren made a cut from the bottom to up to hit the wound that caused it earlier.
[-85HP] That blow would be the one that would initiate the goblin's torture.
Ren started to cause failed attacks but these attacks had the effect of causing bleeding.
He only made 17 failed cuts so that the goblin had the effect [Bleed I] (x10).
[-210HP] At minute 45 seconds the goblin stopped moving to only fall dead to the ground while it was trying to escape from Ren.
The soldiers who witnessed this scene were surprised by the cruelty that Ren showed, although they had seen worse things, it is never the same as seeing a child perform such actions.
Ren showed no sign of being satisfied or upset by the scene in front of him, there was simply nothing.
