31 December 2088
At that time I dreamed I was a child holding a huge sword at my hands...as I was moving foward to a girl I never met..
"...I will kill you!!!I Will never forgive you!!!!"(Forvish)
"......Forvish...I accept it..all of your hatred...."(??????)
My sword penetrated her small chest,with my sword penetrated her chest . I cried....
"Why...Why you don't dodge...!!!WHY!!!"(Forvish)
"...I..am sorry. But don't worry...you will forget me..I won't be burden to you...I will make you forget about me.."(???????)..
As she touch my head,everything went black...once I woke up I found myself in my room..... I found myself I was in tears...Again. Regardless of that..I know I killed the girl with my own hands. But I have feeling..that I would meet her again....still just what was happening? my memory was fuzzy...there is no way that kind of memory will be forgotten...she must made me forget about it...just who is that girl?As I think about it...Sakura come in. once she noticed me.
"Forvish,how are you right now?"(Sakura)
"I am fine,there is no need to worry about me. How are everyone else?"(Forvish)
"They are fine,we are more worried about you...after all tear keep flowing from you when you were sleeping..."(Sakura)
"I see,change the topic. How long I have been sleeping?"(Forvish)
"Around 1 day I guess. Right now It was 1.p.m."(Sakura)
Sakura take a chair nearby and then sit on it. Once she do that she take out some hankerchief and wipe some sweat from me....
"You sweat a lot..do you have nightmare Forvish?"(Sakura)
"...Kinda..and I don't want to talk about it."(Forvish)
"I see...well forvish should I get food for you?"(Sakura)
"Thanks for your offer,but I am fine. Let's go to dinner room."(Forvish)
"Nn."(Sakura)
As I say that I check myself in mirror. and found my right eye was blue colored...I guess no one can see this except me. I hope this was not a bad omen.Once I arrived at recreation room I found. Lune and Noir playing games with everyone else...they were playing some kind of racing game..what was it? mar**o kart?.
"Ah daddy!!"(Noir)
Noir abandoned her control stick and go toward me then she said.
"Daddy!!!let's play!!"(Noir)
"Ah daddy!!!woke up!!!"(Lune)
Lune also approach me ...everyone also throw their stick away except jessica... Which made the chaaracter in game crash with each other. While jessica immediately gain the first position. that's cheap...

"I just wonder...didn't you guys need to train?"(Forvish)
"No,Grand-..cought... Onee-chan said we need take a break. She said relax once a while was a must..that's why It was break for us."(Shiroyuki)
"Hmm I see,so where are our parent?"(Forvish)
As I didn't see them anywhere...I think they must go somewhere..
"They said they need to prepared for new year party...that's why we are so free now..."(Lumiere)
"Even me...are forbidden to work."(Lisa)
Lisa was depressed. Lisa you are workaholic huh?Well it is house work so I guess it's fine....While jessica still continue to overlap other. ..
"Break is break~~I can rest with peace."(Iris)
The sloth of the group,I must make sure Lune and Noir didn't copy her laziness.....Alice was on break from her job. So I guess itself was fine..
"Forvish,can you helped me do some study?I want to review the subject mother teach me."(Sakura)
The mother she means must my mom. She said that as she hold the elementary math book. wait....
"Everyone ,How was your winter homework?"(Forvish)
"....."(Everyone)

Yep everyone forget about it,thanks god I remember ...there is still 2 week holiday left. I guess we must started doing now...
"YES!!!I AM FIRST!!!"(Jessica)
"AH!!!!You cheap!!!(Everyone except sakura)
How slow are you guys to just notice it?It just a game anyway..as I thought that from jessica joy stick appeared 2 tickets.....What the ?How does it works!!!
"NYEHEHE!!!Anyway I got 2 ticket of amusement park!!!Forvish please go out with me!!!"(Jessica)

"Have you done homework ?"(Forvish)
"I already done copying."(Jessica)
"?Copying?Copying who?"(Forvish)
"You of course."(Jessica)
.....speechless...How the fuck she get it?I mean I am sure I hide it inside of my pillow. anyway..let's ignore her..
"Well,everyone tidy your table..."(Forvish)
We will started doing your homework first...holiday with homework remain wasn't a holiday day after all.
"NO!!!I Don't want too..."(Iris)
."You think you can run from your homework Iris??"(Forvish)
"...NO!!!!!THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!!!Lune and NOir!!They already run away."(Iris)
...ah..
"Chase them!!!"(Forvish)
I will make sure they do homework!!as their father I won't allow any homework wasn't done by them!!!!!Why?If I was called to the school because of them didn't do any homework...then I was called to school and be lectured...won't it be very embarrasing?That's why I will make sure they did their homework!!!!Beside they are smart child surely they can do their homework easily..now with everyone chase them.

"So what did you didn't understand sakura?"(Forvish)
"Ah yes,at this.."(Sakura)
It will be a good thing if noir and lune can copy her sister...well they still don't know about this thought.Sight.....speaking of them...I never do mana resonance with them with me...I guess I will try it later.
Narrator POV.
On their way home...the parent was talking..
"Forvish eye,it turned blue right?are what you saying true mom?"(Kyle))
"...yes. I am sure of it...Really he were really your son wasn't he?I guess you can't fight blood."(Ruby)
"Stigma ,will he be fine?Stigma was trigerred by trauma wasn't it?"(Claire)
"I know,Stigma was like sudden burst of power. Well it was unlucky of you...I never know it hereditary either."(Ruby)
Stigma. It was sign by changing color of iris without many people of realize...most one that realize are usually their parents...or someone with great cognition of mana. Ruby was belong to latter...Also the one who held previous stigma was Claire.
"The stigma girl who said she will never marry anyone in her life. It makes me wonder when she change her thought.."(Ruby)
"MOM!!!"(Claire)
As claire embarrased by that ,kyle and ruby only laugh at her..then ruby said.
"Enough joking,you said stigma was triggered because trauma right?"(Ruby)
"Yes,and I am sure of it."(Claire)
"Hmmm...Kyle you said you try to make forvish learn manafication before right?By try to see what was important at his deepest heart...yet you failed wasn't it?"(Ruby)
"Yes,Even me and the demon lord failed you know..(kyle)
"I see,then let him awakened it by himself."(Ruby)
Hear ruby statement both of them surprised....after all there is no way...in Forvish case when he didn't even realize what was important to him in his life. The real him..then you can do manafication.
"Well well,both of you don't be hasty. Forvish aren't weak as you thought...with mana resonance or whatever he able to fight on par. both of the child they were very strong...compared to normal mana weapon they indeed lot stronger.. If we make a mistake...then Forvish lost control what will you do?Let me say if kyle and Demon lord didn't stand a chance....even thought they were only at manarize level surely they should be able to sudue it easily...yet they were the one who lost. Lost control =end of the world...we can't let that happen.."(Ruby)
"Still...at this rate he will be captured again..."(Kyle)
That is his biggest worry,no matter what they are lacking manpower....It will be hard enough of themselves to protect him. It was like protecting nuclear bomb...it can be bring benefit to you...but also with a great risk...
"Anyway His trauma wasn't that simple...someone must erased his memory about it. It was still mystery to me..but I know...Forvish must faced it..based on the prophecy...eternal never appeared. There is no info about her....but no doubt it was eternal who made forvish forget about her....I think she was someone nearby.."(Ruby)
"What do you mean mom?"(Kyle)
"While Sakura carrying forvish she mentioned Forvish mutter why ...why he failed...why why he can't force himself to kill her. I guess they must be important to each other..."(Ruby)
"Still to heard eternal from Forvish..I never expect he already knew about her...should we wait for to remember it?"(Claire)
"It will be the best if we know about her first...Sakura was safe from this matter...also luna show her talent to become protector..there is no need worry about them at least. We don't know if eternal can't be trusted or not...we should slowly investigate this any futher..also...that guy contains to many talents...particle emmiter...then stigma...what is that guy? a cheat?anyway don't bother to tell him about stigma first...tell him how to handle particle first....well It will be hard for us too teach her thought..."(Ruby)
As she said that she arrived in front of home..when she opened the door. She found lune and noir was captured by shiroyuki and Lumiere..
"No!!!I want to play!!!"(Noir)
"Let go of me!!"(lune)
Saw this the parents only lets out relieved sight...they only hoped eternal turn into kind people....if this kind of peace can be last forever..then it will be the best.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR. Reading it is NOT necessary to read this story, but for anyone who wants to get a little bit more background, here is a link: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/38803/again-from-scratch Again from Scratch was my first journey into writing and I have taken all I learned from that and started writing Again from Scratch Saga, a continuation that is almost stand alone. Changes in certain phrases and words between the two are edits made because of the rewrite plans I have for the old story. The story is available here, on RR, on Webnovel, and on Scribble Hub.The cover was taken from PublicDomainPictures.net and made by one Nona Lohr
