A small boy , silky brown hairs falling on his shoulders fluttering on the shoulders and cute face and his brown eyes as if most beautiful and precious thing of the world .
Tai yang supporting old grandma in getting up from the small bed crying nonstop with his tears rolling down from the cheeks .
An old grandma leaning her back on the bed removing hand of Tai yang from support facing downward .
" He..Hey brat you know ....you know something , i became old leaving alone near the forest and spent my whole life in my broken hut ".
Maybe my time has come and I can see that I am nearing my end with each word but I am also thankful that I can say what I want atleast.
" But the days i spent with you , these were the most joyous days of my life and I have no regrets left , there was only one regret in my heart and that was leaving you behind all by yourself and powerless and God completed my wish by sending you a friend ".
And with each word the voice of grandma became low little by little.
" I don't know who were your parents or what your past is , but you are my child and I raised you , so d..don't be sad after I go ". Grandma spoke with her last ever bright smile making her wrinkles more deep .
" y....you have have very beautiful eyes , i...I wish I could have seen them sooner " .
"Little girl you said your...name....was... s..shu right , i hope you ...take ...care of my ...child ..." And with that grandma lost her last breath and she crossed the door of death on the small shoulders of Tai yang .
As his grandmother takes her final breath, Tai Yang crumbled beside her, his small hands desperately clutching her frail, motionless fingers. His tears fall freely now, tracing hot, glistening trails down his cheeks, soaking into the worn fabric of her robe. His chest heavy with each sob, his breath coming in uneven gasps as if the very air has become too heavy to bear.
His body quivering, shoulders hunched inward, as if curling into himself might somehow shield him from the unbearable reality. He presses his forehead against her cold hand, his sobs muffled against her palm, once so calloused yet gentle. His fingers grip tighter, refusing to let go, as if by sheer will he can hold onto her warmth a little longer.
Around them, the world remains indifferent—the wind rustles softly , no answer to his cries. Yet in that moment, to him, everything has stopped. All that remains is the hollow ache of loss, an emptiness that no words, no time, can ever truly fill...
Wake up , wake up brother Tai yang how long do intend to sleep . Tai yang waking up from the sad dream finds himself in the room made of wood with a single bed , a table with glass of water above it .
Standing if front of the bed was a young man with blond hair reaching his neck , a few strand fall over his forehead.
His features are well-defined yet delicate high cheekbones, a straight nose, and lips that naturally curve into either a playful smirk or a thoughtful frown. His skin is fair, kissed lightly by the sun, with a healthy glow that contrasts against the cool tones of his attire.
A hooded cloak, dark and lightweight, drapes over his shoulders, fastened with a simple bone clasp. It serves as camouflage in the wild and protection from the elements. His blond hair, though still untamed, is often pulled back slightly to keep it from obstructing his vision, revealing sharp, watchful eyes that constantly scan his surrounding.
Despite his youthful appearance, his presence carries the quiet confidence of someone who has spent years in the wilderness his movements are precise .
Tai yang woken by his voice stood from bed , rearranging the bed .
" Brother lu , you look unusually excited today " .Tai yang spoke to Tei lu in teasing tone with a smirk on his face .
By their conversation one can tell that boys are very close as if they are friends for a very long time .
His eyebrows slightly raised upwards , and his cheeks slightly flushed as if thrilled by something and with an Auquard smile and if he was trying to suppressing his excitement Tei lu spoke
" How can I not be excited , today is the day of the admission exam , after 3 years of training and 1 year of hunting in the forest for admission money " .
Tai yang and Tei lu exited from the room and locked the door .
Yes , how can he not be excited this is the point where our new phase of life is about to be started .
Tai yang spoke to Tei lu " yes , you are right let's go , first we should meet with everyone in the hall of the inn ".
It's been three 4 since we all started living together , in first three years we all trained till our battle instinct became as sharp as they can be for human additionally to that we did hunting for year to earn money to get admission form fees of " BORDERVEIL ACADEMY " .
After all that I also became familiar to my eyes power and developed total of three skills on my own .
The first is passive skill and this skill allows me to see me a persons stats there age and many things .
In the middle of his thoughts Tai yang turned his head towards Tei lu and in next second a status window appeared just above the head of Tei lu .

As Tai yang and Tei lu were going dow n the stairs Tei lu asked Tai yang out of concern raising his eyebrows " again had that same dream of before ".
This is not the first time I have seen brother Tai yang sleep till late morning .
Sometimes brother Tai yang seems to sleep late due to same dream of his younger self and everytime he faces his dream he becomes more clear about his future as if he recieves an enlightment .
" Yes " Tai yang replied with a smile on his face which is joy and refreshment.
