The Question of Rising

(Leon's POV)

Leon was a young hobgoblin born a few years ago.

His father was an ordinary goblin, and his mother had also been an ordinary goblin.

However, his father died during Mana Cream Cultivation training. His weak goblin body couldn't withstand the rigorous training and eventually succumbed to heart failure.

Not long after his father's death, Leon's mother married an asura and soon became a hobgoblin herself.

Leon vividly remembered his father's disappointment at dying before becoming a hobgoblin and his mother's joy upon her transformation.

From a young age, Leon was determined to become a hobgoblin, no matter what.

He trained every day, regardless of the weather—rain, scorching heat, or snow. He relentlessly prepared his body to endure the Mana Cream Cultivation process.
