Chapter 1: Boy, Orphanage and Last day.

It is morning.

A boy was cooking in the kitchen. Even though he is not a cook in here, he every day gives a helping hand in the kitchen. Well even though it has said he give a helping hand, his cooking is at the level that even number one chef wanted to become his apprentice. If he chooses the path of chef he might be a god among them, but he chooses different path, fantasy knight.

Those who expert in martial art and magic are known as Fantasy knight. In another word, they are human who chooses the path of war. They do nothing but strive for power. In truth in this world, 60% human and demon actually choose this path instead of peace life.

The name of this boy is Agun (In English ‘Fire’). He has no second name because he is an orphan. And grew up in the orphanage he is standing right now. He was found in a desolate place. Even though orphanage staffs never bring in front of him, but at some point, he understood he was abandoned by his parent. And that is the reason he wants to become a fantasy knight who is considered an elite.

That’s why he becomes 10th level beginner league when he was only 14 years old. And he is only one in the orphanage who touch this line in his 14.

So what is the league? It is rank or should have said strength level of Fantasy Knight. Beginner, Raider, Veteran, Expert, Brave, Hero, Legend, Mortal King, Mortal Emperor, Saint are the knowledgeable league this world aware of.

The boy is at the bottom of this league but it is not that bad to consider his age. Well, let’s leave this talk for later and come to reality.

After finishing his cooking the boy enters the dining hall, where he saw several children and older women who are orphanage staffs. No children’s face was smiling, instead, there is a thin line of sadness. And seeing this, staffs giving bitter laugh. The reason of this, today is the last day of Agun in this orphanage. Those who are more than 15 y.o. must leave the orphanage because they consider as able human.

The boy was children’s favorite so their innocent face could not hide the disappointed mood.

Seeing this the boy ask them, “What’s with those faces, huh? I made a lot of meal so cheer up ladies and gentlemen.”

But instead of responding him one of the children ask him, “Is it really true, you will leave us?”

“Who said that? I am just going for the venture and will be returning in no time.”

The boy immediately replied.

But another child said with a loud voice, “You liar! Don’t take us as a fool, those big brothers and big sisters who left us, never back.”

Another child said, “I heard from Sister Halima you will go to the far east academy. And it is less possibility that you can see us again soon.”

Another one said, “We don’t want you to go. Please be with us. Always.”

And one of the fatty child said that, “If you leave, who will give me those delicious meals.”

“You are thinking about that?!!”

One of the little girl punch fatty’s head.

Another glutton said to fatty, “Hush! Don’t say the real reason we are sad at.”

Hearing that other children’s face twitch and looking at those two with disgusting eyes.

And seeing this Agun and staffs couldn’t help but laugh.

“I am not lying guys. I am not leaving for forever. No… I should say I wanted you to follow me. You guys, when you become adult I’ll be waiting for you in the far east with the delicious meal. And build a home where we will live with everyone. So do your best, don’t disappoint me. Aim for big, and become someone like me who will make children happy in your present and sad upon your leave. Tell me those story to me even I will be envy of. Can’t you do this little thing for me?”

After hearing this from Agun, all the children become silent yet have glittering eyes.

Some of the children replied with the timid voice, “Yes.”

“I can’t hear you…”(Agun)

“Yes!”(Children)

“With more sprite!!”(Agun)

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!”(Children)

“Good! Now then everyone, let’s do our breakfast. After all this will be last time before I leave.”(Agun)

“Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”(Children + Staffs!)

Before noon, in outside of orphanage Agun, children and staffs were standing. It is time for leave.

The Head Staff of orphanage said to Agun,

“Show that letter to that girl, she will arrange everything.”

“I cannot thank you enough”

Agun replied with emotion.

“What are you talking, boy? If it wasn’t for you we cannot make money what you earn by cooking.”

The Head Staff said with a smile.

“No, it was my duty. Can I say you to something?”

“Spit it out, boy.”

Agun make a little pause then said with serious voice,

“I don’t know who is my mother or father. But from my childhood, I never felt void of their presence or should say I was never allowed to. I had the fun time, joyous time, sad time like any other children. My every memory from here, everyone from here I could treasure them in my heart as long as I live. And all could this happened because of you because you took me in that day. That’s why I cannot thank you enough every member in here and I have no word to thank you Miss Head no… Mother…”

After hearing his honest thought Head Staff wanted to said, ‘don’t sweat it, boy.’ But she couldn’t because a net of emotion was stuck in her throat. She got emotional.

Not only her surrounding staffs and children also showing their tears.

About 15 min later, Agun left the orphanage where almost all member was in sad emotion.
