That boring period of practice ended already with a hint of dissatisfaction within me.
'Why is that? Because even now I can sit at the dinner table and eat my favorite strawberry pancakes. I still haven't got what I want.'
'Damn it..! Everything was in line with my plan, but I still couldn't bring it down. Then he admitted his defeat and declared that I won a landslide victory over him.'
'Then one more thing kept bothering me. This mystery about my golden eye ability, and what does that monstrous monster mean if I am a perfect noble?'
Due to the thought filled with that mysterious question, my tongue was unable to taste the delicious strawberry pancakes.
"Zayn, what's wrong with you? Look. Your mouth is full. You're so eager to eat your favorite pancakes, yes, that you gobble them up without pause."
"Yes, right.. This pancake is too delicious and so delicious my senses can't feel it." I said with my mouth still full.
I glanced at my father who was also eating in front of me. And sure enough, it was like something was hidden from me.

The blue sky began to hide the sun. And dusk began to reveal itself.
While I, William Zayn, was pensive to think about the mysterious things that kept haunting my mind, because every time I felt that I was just a child living a simple life in a small house. My heart was turbulent and I was like being called upon when I heard from the monster in my dream who said that I was a perfect noble.
'If it is true that these golden eyes are hereditary abilities of my mother, then who is my mother? Which family he came from, and.. What kind of witch is my mother..?'
It constantly disturbs my mind. Now I'm spoiled with my beloved bed and just like I'm doing right now is just daydreaming lying staring at the roof of the room.
If I were to ask the old man the inhumane witch, she would definitely only respond in a manner that was not what I expected.
Kriett
I, who was still lying there daydreaming, realized the sound of my room door suddenly opening and I knew very well who the person who did not know was knocking on the door before entering the room.
"Zayn, get some sleep! Remember that.. You should get up at 5 a.m. Because tomorrow is the time for you to start studying at an academy." Said my father standing at the door of my room.
"Huh, Dad.. Look at that clock that's stuck above where you stand? Now it's still showing at 6pm and you're telling me to go to bed at this hour? I still want to enjoy the coolness of the night."
"Haha.. Aren't you excited about tomorrow? Let me guess the reason why you're so excited is, maybe you've heard rumors about a Weinsley Academy student who killed a bunch of bandits all by yourself, right?"
I was shocked and woke up. Because it turns out my father also heard rumors about it.
How could it be just because a 10-year-old boy could handle a group of senior-grade bandits by himself.
If rumors were to circulate that Weinsley academy had always produced strong disciples, then the rumored child might be on par or even stronger than me.
"All right, I'll be asleep soon, dad.."
I'm really looking forward to it like this, I hope they're not just rumors.
Suddenly I thought that if I ever met the monster in my dream again, he might know who my family was and why I could not remember anything.
If it's like you were just born from the bowels of the earth then suddenly you've reached the age of children.
Gulp...
With a hint of fear emerging, I tried to close my eyes by gulping.
And strangely I who used to sleep late at night, already feel sleepy only when lying closed eyes.
'I think I'm a slacker.'
***
Dark, dim, silent. As I now feel, I realize that this soul is awakening in a dimension filled with darkness.
'How can I meet that monster again?'
Slowly I began to move my legs and walked step by step.
I realized this was a dreamland, but strangely, here I could control myself even emotions.
"That's why I called you here, son. This is my place.. Since you've boldly set foot on my throne, then you're my guest."
A voice that resounded and with a different tone from humans in general filled the entire empty space nan dark.
The voice was not far from the back where I was standing at the moment.
With a hint of fear present and her aura chilling all over my body, I tried to twist my body.
It was a monster. And this time I saw it more clearly than before. His fiery red eyes, sharp fangs grinning, long nails, and enormous posture filled the entire dark dimension.
"Ka..You called me here? Don't tell me this is my last day. I haven't even said goodbye at night and the old man." I said with a little bit of confusion.
"I'll tell you a little bit you need to know. I am the source of your strength, I live inside your body and you can borrow my strength whenever you want. And you'll know who I am and who your mother is when the time comes." Said the terrible monster.
"Why don't you want to tell me now? I purposely dared myself to meet you to know it all. Then what's the point if I borrow your powers?"
"My strength is what no human has. You can be much stronger and surpass those who have broken through to upgrade God. But if you want everything then half of your body will be mine forever."
"Then the reason why I can't answer your question is because I don't trust you, and you don't trust me either. Haha...!"
Blarr...
My self who was fed up with what he said, I attacked him without thinking.
She's powerful. This monster is very powerful. And not just a bluff. The aura emitted was truly powerful. If the one who saw him was a timid man, then it was certain that he would die of fear.
Since the age of 8 years I have never trusted anyone, even what my own father said.
This may be the answer tomorrow. Because I'm so looking forward to the day I finally meet someone who might know everything about this world.
I might get an answer at Weinsley Academy.
I tried to open my eyes. It is seen in the window that the sky gradually shows its sun.
And after what I saw in a window that was right above my bed was a grown man in slightly shabby clothes carrying a bucket full of water.
"Ah, Dad! Yes, this is me waking up. I'm gonna wake up. So please, don't flush me using that."
With my condition still sleepy, I gasped to wake up to see the heartless old man was about to flush me.
"Good, if you understand.Zayn, you better look at the clock in front of you. The clock was showing at 6 a.m., do you remember what I said last night?" Said my father with a horrible smile that seemed to kill me.
If you imagine the monsters that I dreamed of last night, the smiles of both of them are equally frightening.
"Hehe, yes sorry. After all, I was so relieved to know that I would no longer be trained by a heartless human like you."
Byurrrs
The water that was still in its habitat, flew into the genius child who thought it was innocent.
"Fuhc.. This very cold water is as cruel as you are, father. This is the seventh time I have to hang my bed."
"Hurry to shower, Zayn! Or I'll cut your neck off."
"Ah.. Hehe, okay. I take a shower, I take a bath."
A few minutes after the shower. I immediately picked out my best suit, and began to lift my legs out of the house walking towards Weinsley Academy with my father.
***
After finally going through the many houses and streets, I now came to the gate of Winsley Academy, the best Academy in Hanston city.
A man dressed as a royal with a sword at his waist came to the gate where we were standing.
"Good morning. I am a friend of the Head of the Academy, my name is William Frey. And this is my son, William Zayn." Said my father, bending his body down a little.
"Master is waiting for you in his room. Come with me, I'll drive you there."
Cretons
The gate was opened and we were led in with this guard. I looked around the Academy a bit, and indeed the academy was this big even like a park.
'This academy looks lonely, maybe now is the time for students to be learning in the classroom.'
Put us both in front of a big door.
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
"Please come in." The sound of a gentle woman from inside the room let in.'
Kriett
Looks like a beautiful and graceful woman who is sitting while drinking a cup of coffee.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Frey. You haven't changed at all." Said a woman to my father.
"Yes. It's been a while, Merlin. You've changed a lot now."
"Please sit. And. let's guess the kid next to you is the hot topic of this academy, yeah."
What does it mean to be a hot topic? I haven't introduced myself or anything that's made the whole academy talk.
"He is my son, who will be studying in this academy."
"William Zayn's. Please help, Madam."
"Ohh.. Hahaha, you're a good boy. Before I even ask you your name. And just call me Master Lin. I'm actually 38 years old."
'Huh..? If that's true he's 38, that means he's 2 years older than my father. Then why does she look so beautiful like a 20-year-old. While father...'
I glanced at him a little, and I saw his mustache-faced, bearded face like 70-year-old grandfathers.
"Master Lin was a father's friend while still working as a bounty hunter, and now he has achieved his ideals."
"Hahaha, your father is a great man, Zayn. I even lost to him 2 times during training. But maybe now I'm way above your father, Hahaha." Said the woman with an understated laugh.
"Merlin, please take good care of my son. He was a witty wizard but his behavior was a little annoying."
"Haha.. Sounds like he fits you, Frey. Take it easy, he'll always be safe with us."
"Then, Zayn. Come with me, I'll lead you to meet your friends."
After a long conversation, I was led to a room that maybe later, I can find answers to all the questions that have been constantly haunting me and everything about this world.
