Chapter 1: Chapter 1

I don't know if I have anything that I can call precious to me.

Because of that, I can die peacefully with no regrets.

Or so I thought all this time.

My whole life I spent on myself.

No friends, or family.

I grew up in an orphanage until I reached an age where I could be independent.

And even until the last time I lived in the orphanage, I still didn't have any friends.

From the beginning, I didn't have anything to lose.

I only have myself, no one will know if I die.

So, even if I die, I'm sure no one will be sad about it.

I think, I won't feel lonely.

But I was wrong.

What is this feeling?

Do I really want this?

Do I really want to die like this?

To die on a hospital bed without anyone knowing.

Not friends or family.

Or even a lover, I don't have fancy things like that.

If only I had someone here...

I wonder what it would be like...

To have someone else by your side when you need them.

Would my heart be different from how I feel now...

If I had the chance, I would want to live differently.

Not by being alone, or separating myself from others.

I wonder if those people would be sad if I died.

Would they cry for me...

How would it feel to have people like that in my life?

As I continue to drown in my daydreams.

A nurse who regularly came every few hours to change the IV in my hand walked into the room.

She was beautiful, with long black hair and beautiful brown eyes...

I...can hardly remember her...

What was her name?

I tried to dig through the memories in my head, but there was only a headache there.

But I forgot that there was a name tag attached to the nurse's chest.

There was the name of this nurse who took care of me every day.

"Celine"

I accidentally muttered her name.

The nurse's eyes, which had been focused on the IV equipment, now turned her attention towards me.

"Yes, what is it, Mr Rio? Is there anything you need?"

Her beautiful brown eyes were now looking straight at me.

I don't know if all nurses are like this.

But...I can always feel a warm feeling from those eyes.

All the doctors and nurses I've met before are usually just doing their job.

But Celine, I can feel something else from her.

What do you call it? Is it sincerity?

Silence floated for a while after Celine lowered her face to come closer to me.

I kept looking at her face, and Celine just kept smiling at me with those brown eyes and those beautiful red lips.

Perhaps feeling that I had nothing to say, Celine just smiled and pulled back the blanket and wrapped it around my body.

"You need to rest more Mr Rio, your condition hasn't improved at all, I will come again to bring you your afternoon meal."

After saying that, Celine began to walk out with the used IV that she had replaced earlier.

But, before she reached the exit I called out to her again

"Celine"

Celine's footsteps stopped precisely.

And quickly, she turned her body back towards me.

Still with the same beautiful smile as before.

"Yes? Is there anything else you need me for, Mr Rio?"

I don't know...

What exactly do I need?

Why did I call her?

Why do I feel like saying something to her?

Why?

The silence returned between us.

But, Celine didn't change her facial expression at all.

Still with the warm smile that was always chiselled on her sweet face.

Celine walked towards me with a smile on her face.

Then, she stroked my head with her delicate hand.

"I don't know what you want to tell me Mr Rio, but I know it must be something important to you, right? It's okay not to tell me if you're still not sure."

She then stood up straight while wearing the brightest smile I have ever seen from her.

"I'll be here with you until the end, so there's no need to rush."

I don't know why

Even though it was just an ordinary sentence, but that sentence felt very deep into my heart.

It felt like a warm feeling was flowing inside me.

Unconsciously, my hand came out to grab Celine.

Celine, who understood what I meant, brought her face closer to my hand.

My hand touched her smooth, flawless skin.

I could feel the smoothness on it.

Stroking her cheek, Celine gently held my hand that was stroking her cheek.

I can see her slightly flushed face.

I don't know what happened.

But Celine's eyes also became a little teary.

But...

After seeing that face, and touching her for the first time...

I know what I want to say now.

As I continued to hold Celine's white cheeks.

I said something in a soft tone to her.

"Celine, thank you, thank you for everything you've done for me"

That was the sentence I wanted to say.

The sentence that I've been holding back.

One simple sentence.

One that I usually find very difficult to say.

Because I never depend on others.

Other people, too, have never depended on me.

My life is only filled with loneliness.

Having no one to share it with.

Unconsciously, my eyes also became a little wet.

Ahh...

I finally know how it feel to have someone at your side.

I finally know how it feels...

I felt my heart become calmer.

If only...

If only...

If I had another chance, I would have lived differently.

I want to live for others...

I want to know how it feels.

If that feeling would be the same as what I'm feeling right now.

I really want to live like that...

Celine who heard that sentence from me.

Already had tears coming out of her brown eyes.

She gently stroked my thin cheek.

Lowering his head to hide his expression

she began to mutter some sentences that I could hardly hear.

"Mr Rio, I...."

Before I could hear her sentence.

My consciousness was gone.

***

Aenirea is a world where strength is what matters.

Without power, you cannot survive in this world.

Because of this, anyone with power is considered as a valuable asset to everyone.

That's because in this world, there are monsters that come from ancient ruins called.

Draighner

Draighner is a monster that appeared 500 years ago, from ancient ruins in the Northern island across the ocean.

There are many of them, and they have powers that no human or other race can easily defeat.

Yes, there are other races in this world.

Along with humans, there are 5 other races.

Humans, are the ones who inhabit the east part of Aenirea, where the climate is balanced.

Elves, who live a little to the southeast, in the great forest of Halmas.

Beastmen and dwarves in the west of Aenirea in the mountainous regions, Landbroads

And the Skywings race, who inhabit a flying island called Skyfall.

Apart from the 5 main races, there are also a few other races that are not too numerous.

There are hundreds of races like this, but the number of each race only ranges from tens to hundreds.

They are scattered in various regions in every direction.

Back to the Draighner issue.

Draighners come in all shapes and sizes, from small ones the size of a mosquito to the largest ones tens of metres across.

And the human sized draighner and less is that majority of draighner that invade the country of human and other race.

The bigger draighner not very often crossing the ocean to go to the area where the living being lived.

Due to their large size, and most of them cannot fly.

While those that usually make it across the ocean are draighners that have the ability to swim, and also fly.

But Fortunately, Draighner doesn't have a mind of their own.

Most of them just rely on their natural instincts of wanting to destroy every living thing they see.

Still, it takes 3 normal humans to defeat one normal-sized draighner.

And more if it's bigger.

Because of this, humans and several other races co-operated in forming a force to fight the draighner.

Starting from forming military coalitions between countries.

Establish multilateral organisations, as well as non-political organisations, to stabilise the state of each country, and also to quickly monitor if there is an emergency in each region.

This co-operation between countries has continued for hundreds of years.

But, this is still not enough, No matter how good and strong the co-operation that the living creatures of this world do, it is still not enough to stem the damage from the Draighner invasion every year.

For this reason, every major country once again trying new methods.

They worked together, forming an anti-draighner organisation called Collosus.

Collosus is an organisation that contains people who are highly compatible with "The seed".

An ability they gained from taking a special seeds from the world tree.

A tree that grows in the centre of the world and is believed to have lived since the beginning of the world.

With the ability of "The seed" the five races can finally rival the draighner in terms of strength.

And they have successfully repelled many attacks by draighners over hundreds of years.

And 300 years later, today in a human city called Frowarnce.

A girl who had been up since morning, was walking while humming happily.

And in her hand, she held a full bucket of water that she had taken from the public well.

She suddenly stopped in front of a place where many people were gathered around it.

Her blue eyes looked at a human statue that was a famous figure in Frowarnce.

The only person from this city who had a chance to join the Collosus for almost 200 years.

"Master Dale"

The girl cheerfully muttered the town hero's name.

And she smiled sweetly as she said it.

In her heart, she was just an ordinary girl.

A girl who also had dreams of becoming a hero.

And Dale is that girl's role model.

As she continued to look at Dale's statue with a smile on her face.

The voice of a girl who sounded more mature than her came from afar.

"Sylvie!!! Come on, hurry up!!! Mum's waiting for us at home!!! Hurry up and let's go home before Steven finishes your food!!!"

After hearing that voice, Sylvie turned around excitedly and ran. Towards the voice that called her, while saying "Yes!!!"

And she ran towards a girl who looked similar to her, with the same blue eye colour, and white hair.

"Sister Cecil, do you think I can also become like Master Dale?"

Cecil, who was asked that question by his sister, turned her head towards the Dale statue behind them.

Cecil did not answer immediately, but she deliberately let her sister wait and made her impatient with her sister's  answer.

"Hmmm..."

Sylvie who was getting impatient with Cecil's answer became a little sulky.

Her white cheeks became puffed up with the wind making her lookLike a squirrel who hides her nuts in her cheek

Cecil, who saw her sister's funny behaviour, chuckled and finally gave in to her sister.

"Sure Sylvie, if you're diligent in your studies, and a good girl, I'm sure someday, you'll be like Master Dale, maybe even better than him."

Sylvie who heard her sister's answer became very excited and happy.

And seemed eager to jump up and down with joy.

But since she was carrying a bucket full of water, she couldn't do it.

"Let's go home, mum must have been waiting for us at home for a long time"

With that, the two of them walked back to their home, passing through the snow-covered road in silence and Sylvie's bright smile.
