Guilt

" Today is a celebration brother, both Jake and Amy have managed to reach tier 1 " Rudra said as he stroked the heads of both kids who were smiling innocently towards their uncle. 

" Is that so? Well done " Max said, his voice cracking a little as he realised the reality behind the situation. 

Had he not failed to save Rudra's kids in real life when the new year's attack happened, this might have been the reality he would be living in. 

His brother would be alive and the family unit would be intact, with both kids shining and showing their true potential. 

" Uncle Max, Now I can train with you! You are also at tier1, we can spar daily " Jake said with a competitive fire in his eyes as Max could not help but chuckle seeing his emotion.

Had he really been a tier1 fighter, he would have felt insulted by this comment, but because he was not he could just look at it as if it were the antics of a child and smile.
