Happiness and Pain

Lith what are you doing there? A middle-aged man walked towards the two of them.

"Father, it seems this child is lost" Lith replied.

As the man drew closer, the boy quickly closed his eyes.

"Looks like he's not a villager." The man held his chin.

Seeing his injured leg, the man took him to his house which was quite close from there.

He carried the child while holding Lith's hand.

On the way the boy did not open his eyes at all.

"Son, did your eye hurt?" The man asked.

And because he was afraid, he immediately answered without further ado.

"I..I'm blind" replied the boy.

Hearing that Lith just smiled.

"How can such a small child get here, especially in a state of not being able to see..." Muttered the man.

"What's your name? Where are your parents? And where are you from?" The man showered him with questions.

The boy was silent for a moment then answered.

"Fo.. four, I remember a little bit about my father, he seems like a good person, I don't know anything else..."

Soon they arrived home.

"Well for the time being you stay here while I report this to the village head"

"Well you can call me Fa" The man stroked Four's head.

" Lith accompany four here, I'll be back " he continued

The Fa left the two of them and went to the village chief's place. After a long discussion, the village elders decided the four could stay in this village until they found out where they came from. And Fa was appointed as the person who would be in charge of guarding Four.

Meanwhile the village head and elders will find out where Four came from.

A few days passed, Four began to adapt to being in the Fa family.

The Fa family consists of Fa himself as the head of the family and his two children, Lith as an older brother (7 years old) and Airi as a younger brother (3 years old).

Meanwhile in the Main Kingdom.

"A laboratory where illegal research... Some frozen corpses..." A black-haired man held the report in his hand.

"Yes sir... But we still don't know what research and experiments are there." A woman was in front of him.

"Some of the frozen corpses are church troops" he continued

"This isn't a human act, even if it's a human, then it should be of the same class as the war bearer Rubt"

"Defeat some of the church troops who are one of the strongest armies of the human faction head-on"

"There's no doubt that this is the devil's doing... looks like they're starting to move, well it's been decades since the war broke out, we have to be more prepared." The man stood up and left the room, followed by the woman.

The Astechic Kingdom is an empire located on the Outer continent, one of the six great continents that exist.

Due to the never ending conflict between humans and demons, the Outer continent is divided into two parts, the Humanities which includes the Astechic kingdom where humans live and the Demon Authority which includes the three great kingdoms led by three demon lords. Bloodhand Kingdom, Insect Kingdom, And Abyss Kingdom.

" We already know that, the teacher always repeats the same lesson over and over again " A child looks at his teacher.

"This is an important matter, I keep telling you so you don't forget it, besides Four doesn't know about this, because he forgot his memory." A teacher holds Four's head and looks at the child who reprimanded him.

Even though Four hadn't opened his eyes at all in front of anyone other than Lith, he was allowed to take lessons. To carry out the activities Four is assisted by Lith.

Lith really understands Four's current condition, if anyone sees his eyes it will be suspected of being a demon, but not with Lith who has seen a real demon.

And since Four's identity is unknown, many of the villagers keep their distance from him, well although there are also some people who accept him well, such as his Master and his friends.

Four months in the village, now he is more used to it and lives like a normal person.

In the morning at the Fa residence. heard someone knocking on the door, Fa quickly opened it.

Four, Lith, Dan Airi were also playing.

"Elder, please come in." Fa greeted someone who looked older than him at the door.

The elder explained that from today on Four would become an official villager.

He then invites Four to go to the village hall for a more thorough process. And of course the Fa went with him.

Soon they arrived at the village hall.

"Before you are declared a citizen of the village, you must undergo a ritual to honor our ancestors." The elder then held Four onto the altar that had been prepared while the Fa waited outside.

However, because the process took a long time, Fa had to ask one of the elders for permission to go home because his two daughters were alone. And asked the elder to take Four home.

This ritual process takes about four hours to finally complete. Now Four became an official member of the village.

"Uncle Fa told me to take you home." The elder held Four's shoulders.

"Okay" Four smiled.

Four feels very happy because he can feel the warmth of his family again after a long time, especially after the bad things that happened to him.

A few minutes of walking, they arrived at the Fa residence. The elder knocked but there was no answer. Feeling something strange, the Elder peeked in the window slightly, and was surprised to find the whole house was a mess.

He then puts Four down and starts banging the door open.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Four asked the elder as he broke right in.

The elder went inside and saw a different room.

Out of curiosity Four slightly opened his eyes. And seeing such a shocking scene, Blood was everywhere, seen Fa lying hugging Airi.

The elder confirmed the condition of the two of them but as feared, the two of them were no longer alive.
