"Would you see that, is my favourite nephew, Licht!"
After seeing that his uncle tried to hug him, he tried to dodge. But, his mother stops him.
"Fufufu, you should greet your uncle warmly."
With the sound of *buk*, he collided with his uncle. He feels pain from the collision and heavy in his body. In his heart, he asks destiny why his so unfortunate. He then asks his uncle to get away, after hearing his pleading his uncle gets away from his small body while apologizing about his antic. And then his mother, father, uncle, and him. Talking seriously about Licht becoming an adventurer, because of that his sister was asked to go to her room, and his uncle's aide was asked to wait outside.
"Are you sure big bro for Licht to become adventure? You should understand what is the risk of becoming an adventurer."
His father and mother hear this, showcasing troubling expressions. Becoming an adventurer is not an easy job, if you don't have the skill for it you will die. There are several types of adventurers, the first type is the hunter, their job usually hunting down a beast and monster. Pioneer, was a type to explore new land or dungeon and map it, if it was warfare it would be a squire. Guard usually involves protecting a person or merchant group. And people who call workers, usually work for a group or nation. Those adventurers have some sort of privilege, for example, usually a adventurers would get discounts on commodities, and it differs between the rank of adventurers. Because adventurers have the power that many want, those hunters become commodities. For the group it was necessary to have a ha higher rank adventurerelping their peers to advance to a higher rank was their priority.
A guild or group would do anything for those who have skill while throwing off those who couldn't be any more benefits. Monopoly is the resource from hunting grounds for their loot, influence over certain nations and many more. The practice of killing other competitors was necessary, even though there is a consensus to not kill other adventures created, it is still rampant in the world of adventures. Those make the death count of many young adventurers high. It makes my parent scared that something will happen to me, but they are still resolute to give me a chance.
"You right, the risk of my son's death was high. But I will still choose to send him with you."
"fufu, what my Richard said was right I want to give him a chance."
Even though it was hard, his parents still believed that it was my golden chance, After seeing the resolution in his parents. The uncle chose to follow along, to make Licht become an adventurer.
In the night the whole village was in a feast. In the middle of the village, people laugh at this beautiful atmosphere. Everyone was sucked into the magnificent feast, but there was one person who doesn't enjoy it, Licht. He sat down in the dark full of gloomy aura surrounding him, his uncle who saw that started to walk toward him. Light who hears his uncle's footsteps, looks at him and tries to dissuade him.
"Uncle, why don't you join the villagers in their fun?"
Licht tries his best to look cheerful, So his uncle can go back to enjoying the feast. After all this feast was for his uncle, would the main character of the feast not enjoy the feast itself? But his uncle was determined, to sit near him and hear his worries. Seeing his uncle like that Licht, took a deep sigh.
"you know... Looks like no matter what I said will deter you... "
"it was given, after all, you are my nephew. Why do you think I would help you?"
"hah... What I trouble some uncle... What about mom and dad... Did they enjoy the feast?"
"they enjoy it... But, sometimes they look at your direction."
"Truly what a trouble some parents... "
"but, you never hate it right?"
"yes, I truly enjoy and feel welcome by them."
"then would solve your worries, would lessen their worries too."
"... "
"I take your silence, as your problem was to live to their hope. "
"How did you know?! "
"When I hear you are going to become an adventurer, I believe it was your parent's idea not you. After all, you have I dream to become a hunter and protect this village with Marie."
"... "
*and hardened his expression.*
"I see you are still sad about Marie, but hear me out if you become an adventurer you will have many girls flocking to you. Hahaha!!! "
Then with his big hand, slapped his nephew in the back. With I sound of *gedbuk*, Licht makes a painful moan and strokes his swollen red back, trying to dissuade the pain. Seeing this his uncle laughed wholeheartedly at such a scene, after that, they went silent for several minutes to enjoy this moment.
"you know... At first, I tried to deny the opportunities that they gave me... But, I couldn't say no after seeing my father's eyes... *huh*"
"... "
"you're right, I just wish to work as a hunter to protect the village... But, after seeing his eyes... I feel distraught... After my long cherished dream... Was shattered... I'd think I want to just continue my father's work... But, then this suddenly came... "
"... "
"... You know... I just want to give out... But, I can not... After seeing their hope for their son to find a 'life' out here... I, just hope I wouldn't break their hopes... Like my very hopes did... "
"... "
"... Thanks for hearing me out. "
"you know... Life is full of failure. "
After hearing that, Licht looked at his uncle with disbelief. After all, his uncle was the best and became the youngest adventurer to reach his 'level'. His uncle, who knows what his thinking. Look at the feast, with a smile that is like laughing at himself.
"... I was called the prodigies at that time... I was full of myself... Believing I was special... I believe I was the chosen one..."
"... "
"... I... Was very cocky at the time... Believing myself to be this invulnerable being... But it will shatter during that 'mission'."
"... "
His look was full of regret like he tried to go back to that time, and tried to erase his wrongdoing. Seeing such a sight Licht, couldn't help but ask what happened in the past.
"but... Let the past be the past... We need to live on... So that past has a meaning for us. "
"... "
"... So Licht, live and tried to find it... Never contempt with the life you have... So that you could always have a new dream to live on... So you could have meaning in your life... At least tried to not make them worried."
His uncle said them while smiling and pointing toward his parents, Licht couldn't help but smile at his uncle's word. Even though he was a failure, he still tried his best to live for his loved one to not worry about it.
After knowing what his uncle tried to say, in the night he kept thinking about that conversation. At least he tries to make his family doesn't worry about him. And then Chose to close his eyes and sleep.
