Chapter 245: Hiro's Past

{5 years ago}

My name is Hiro Ernest, and I am 10 years old.

Everything was peaceful and happy for the once Ernest family. We were not the most powerful or had the most luxurious lives, but with Rank-B and Rank-C mothers, we could afford to stay in the city and eat until full.

I had a cute little sister and I myself was not that terrible of a talent. With time, it seemed that I could even reach the rank of my father.

The life that I cherish and thought would continue forever was crushed in one night.

However, that evening turned everything into his nightmare.

"Hmmm~"

I went home happy as I walked.

As usual, I was back from school and my father and mother didn't have any dungeon raids and stayed at home. This was probably the reason why I was happy.

Most of the time, my father would be away on the dungeon raids and sometimes even my mother would join in. Consequently, it was a very precious time for me.

-CREAK!

"I am home!"

"Welcome, BROTHER~"
