"Humanity in my old world, Reius, has a recorded history of only a few thousand years, which is probably not very long in the eyes of someone powerful like you." William tried to flatter the being rather than calling him old, lest that anger the Artifact Spirit.
He continued, "I was born in a small town that was very detached from the rest of the world, but when my parents died, I was sent to live in a city with another family when I was only three years old."
William's expression became a bit sad when he thought about his biological parents, whose faces he could now clearly remember since upgrading his Mind Talent to S-Rank. The Mind Talent was a powerful ability that helped him greatly in and out of combat, but this time it was a curse, bringing back memories of his life before and just after their deaths.
"My parents didn't die under normal circumstances. No, they were killed."
"Killed?" the Artifact Spirit asked.
