Chapter 4 The Dungeon

I was rushing home to see my cute sister and mother. Since my father passed away, my mother quit being a dungeon knight and started training new explorers.

'I wonder if Milla is working hard today?'

Milla is my younger adoptive sister. She was the same age as me, but had awakened her talent at a young age. She could use wind magic and had the class [Shield maiden] In the summer she will leave for the capital to join the female knight group named Lazarus.

"Come to think of it, they will both leave soon. I hope they will be okay. My sister is a little clingy…"

My mother's name was Verda. She was a tanned woman who came from a southern tribe of mainly women. They had great strength, but lacked a powerful affinity for magic. She was my father's vanguard during his days as a dungeon explorer.

It only took around 30 minutes for me to get home. Small wooden houses with dull glass windows filled the surrounding roads. The ground was a mix of poor quality soil and garbage from the slum located a few hundred metres away.

'This place never changes. I hope to leave this city as soon as possible. I want to explore the world beyond the fog one day!'

I threw my body through the reinforced wooden door. The slam rang through the house as the scent of boiled potatoes and roast chicken filled my nose.

'Ah, I love mom's roasted chicken!'

My body dashed to the kitchen to see an exotic beauty standing around 195cm tall. Her black hair was wavy and down to her buttocks as she swayed from side to side. Her emerald eyes were glistening as she watched the pot boiling and added several herbs and brightly coloured spices to the broth.

"Welcome home, Vince. Did you have a good day at school today?" Verda said. Her dark green eyes shining with a glint as they narrowed with joy hearing his good mood.
