Buene Village, Asura Kingdom, Armored Dragon year K-410.
Outside the yard of a decently sized house, a young man and a boy are holding wooden swords.
"You really are good with this Rudy." The handsome young man said to the boy.
"Yes father." The boy answered.
This boy's name is Rudeus Greyrat. And the handsome young man was his father, Paul Greyrat. He is a handsome young man in his early twenties. He is a gallant and strong person.
Rudeus's parents are former adventurers and decided to retire in the countryside to get married.
His father wished that he would follow his footsteps and become a swordsman and go adventuring in the future. That's why his father started training him from a very young age.
Rudeus also wanted to be an adventurer after hearing his parent's stories of their adventures in the past, so he was really happy when his father began instructing him.
"Dear, Rudy, it's time for dinner!" A young woman's voice can be heard from the windows from the house.
"Alright, let's wrap it up for now." His father said.
They ended their training session for the day.
...
"It's good that you want to train, but don't push yourself too hard and hurt yourself okay?"
"Yes mother."
The one speaking to him was his mother, Zenith Greyrat. She's a beautiful young woman in her late teens. She's very lovely and caring person.
On the other side of the table is a young woman dressed in a maid outfit. Her name is Lilia.
This is all the people living in the Greyrat house.
"Well you don't need to worry. He's a boy after all." Paul said.
"Alright, do your best Rudy." Zenith cheered.
...
At night.
Rudeus could hear the baby making noises coming from the other side of the room. His parents are young and full of energy.
Paul seems to have bottomless stamina. Saying something like a hentai protagonist like 'Im just getting warmed up' and such. Zenith is moaning loudly echoing throughout the entire house.
"I can't sleep."
Rudeus is lying on his bed facing up with his eyes opened wide. Clearly he was so distracted from the noise that couldn't put him to sleep.
Rudeus rose up from his bed and went outside the house. He now holds a wooden sword.
He raised it and swings it downwards. Raised it and swing. Rudeus repeatedly swings his sword.
When his parents finally ended their baby making session, Rudeus's arms is already sore.
"Jeez, took you long enough. Just give me a little sister and I'll be happy."
Rudeus finally decided to retire for the night and went to sleep. When his body touched the bed he went to sleep immediately, clearly exhausted.
...
The next day in the morning.
Rudeus went outside the house. It was at this time of the day that he gets to go and play.
"Rudy, good morning."
"Hey Sylphy."
This is his only friend, Sylphiette. She's a timid girl who always follow Rudeus. She cries when she's left behind and gets bullied by other kids because of her taboo green hair.
They go to their usual playground, a huge tree on top of a hill. The shade from it provides a cool place, it's a perfect place to play.
"Just the other day, I started training swordsmanship with my father. I can't meet you in the afternoon now." Rudeus started.
"Swordsmanship? Why do you do that?" His friend Sylphy asked.
"Well I decided. When I grow up I will be a powerful swordsman and become an Adventurer like my father. I have to start training this early you know?" Rudeus told her.
"If you're an Adventurer, are you going to leave?" Sylphy asked.
"Well yeah. There are all sorts of places in the world you know? My father told me about a lots of stuff. There's labyrinths where vast treasures stored on the deepest floors. You have to defeat the Guardian and get rich quickly. Powerful monsters also exist like Dragons, I want to fight them at least once and get famous. My father said I'll be really popular with the women if I'm strong." Rudeus passionately told the few stories Paul and Zenith told him.
"What about you Sylphy? What do you want to do when you get big?"
"I don't know." Sylphy timidly answered.
For her young age, she still doesn't understand about things like dreams and training to get stronger.
"But if Rudy is going to leave, then I'm gonna be sad." Sylphy said.
She curled up hugging her knees together. Sylphy is meek and timid like a vulnerable small animal. She couldn't imagine a future where Rudeus is going to leave her.
If it wasn't for him, she's going to end up getting bullied frequently by some other kids in the village calling her a demon or such.
It was Rudeus who came to save her. When Sylphy asked why he's doing this, he answered answered 'because girls are meant to be protected, that's what my father taught me'.
If he's going to leave, then who's going to protect her? Who's going to be friends with her and play?
Sylphy sobbed a little.
"Well there's no need to frustrate about it so much. I'm sure you'll find something you want to do in the future too." Rudeus smiled and pats her head gently.
Although they were at the same age, it felt like Rudeus is taking care of Sylphy.
"You're amazing Rudy." Sylphy said looking at him, her face full of admiration.
"Me? That's not true at all."
"It's true. You're very strong. And also very kind. You don't hate me even I have this hair. My father said you're very mature, like an adult." Sylphy said.
Her father Laws always praised Rudeus whenever they talked at the dinner table at home.
"I'm just a boy with big dreams. I'm nothing special." Rudeus smiled as wide as the sun.
And with that they continued playing around.
They parted ways at noon after Rudeus escorted Sylphy to deliver her father's lunch box.
Rudeus spent the tnire afternoon doing basic practice swings like always with his father.
