章節 1: Simply Sim.P.Lee

Logging Town, Zeller Kingdom

Rise and shine as the new day is greeted with the chirping of birds and buzzing of bees.

The town is known for its wood exports in the Zeller Kingdom and its neighbors.

You name it Softwood, Hardwood, Hybrids, etc.

Looks like a utopia for wooden things, as the people are one of the strongest and honest workers known for diligence, hard work, and simple-lifestyle individuals.

When I was born my parents kept my name Simon because after six years of my parents' marriage I was born after taking many trips to the local witch, physician and trying all sorts of traditional practices from feeding the animals to animal sacrifice.

At last, after advice from traveling mage, they took me to Mage God Temple in the capital of Zeller Kingdom, Zeller City.

Simon means to hear or listen since the Almighty had responded to their prayers.

"Congrats Pili and Mei, at last, the Lee family has a successor and the town has the future chief guard just like his father." as soon as the carriage accompanying the baby Simon and his parents reached their house near the Logging Town Main Street. People who were neighbors, friends, serfs, all came together to give well wishes and gifts.

Myself Simon.P.Lee a.k.a Simplee, as my nature, should have been silent and at the same time following my name simple. But I think God had given me many qualities except simplicity.

And my life was never as simple as I was nearing the age of puberty and tragedy befell all of Logging Town. Several armed men wearing armor with the crest of the snake attacked our village.

Boom, Boom.

B.O.O.M.

"Help my child please."

"Run in the forest, go run father will stop these intruders."

"No, please don't kill me take all my belongings, and spare my family. Please, I am begging you, Please."

"Sob, sob, sob..., Mama, mama, Dada, Dada."

Soon all sorts explosions sounded along with several cries from people of our town and I rushed in the house and hid in the cellar waiting for my father and mother.

Thud.

The sound of something falling on our door and panicked cry from my mother could be heard.

" Please spare us, lords. I will give all the gold and jewelry, please."

Soon the sound of fighting was heard.

The cellar door was opened and I could hear my dad's voice " Come, Simon, hurry and leave with your mother towards the forest and keep this dagger and map to the nearest town."

"Quickly, go we are outnumbered. Inform the Townspeople that Logging Town has been captured bt the Snake Kingdom. Now Go."

I was shivering seeing my dad with a cut on his left arm as he was bleeding.

" Please, dad come with us. We all can escape together." I cried but my father just gave me ferocious stare and said: "Son, remember if you are a warrior and you must fight till last breath and don't worry the kingdom always gives just treatment to the family of any martyrs."

He continued, "Now go and don't turn back hurry go. And promise to protect your mother."

As all this was happening my mother was prepared and gave a goodbye kiss to Father and while sobbing she told me to follow her.

Soon I and my mother were running towards the forest, I just turned back and could see a man who could be the leader of these men as he was throwing fireballs out of thin air towards the houses and laughing crazily as he was the reason of all the explosions happening.

And I swore in my heart one day I will become a person who will become the strongest person ever.
