Since he was a child, Liam has spent the majority of his time in an orphanage. The children there can't be exactly called family since they will be all adopted and leave in the future. His friends all abandoned him with their new families one by one, leaving him all alone by himself. Every day, he felt lonely. No one tried to adopt him for some odd reason and when he reached the age of seventeen, the orphanage kicked him out because he was too old to stay in the orphanage any further.

He didn't know when, but a voice talked to him once when he was on the streets, trying to scavenge food from the trash.

· My child, don't you want to get stronger? I'll help you.

Liam just felt something inside him that day. He didn't know what it was, but he felt like he also knew it at the same time.

But he thought what he had just received was useless since it would not give him any food or money and he was too poor to even buy a sword. But everything changed when he met a silver-haired stranger with a black coat, suddenly approaching him on the streets.

'Are you hungry?'

'Why don't you come to my house? There's plenty of food there.'

'So, your name is Liam? It's pretty cool.

Liam didn't know who he was, but he unknowingly followed him. He felt a sense of familiarity with an unknown stranger he had clearly never met before. And because of his choice, he met...

'Brother Liam! Take a look at this!'

'Isn't it pretty?'

'Brother Liam! Teach me how to wield a sword!'

'Oooh! Would you mind showing me your aura?'

The kids, Lily, Jessa, Michael, and Josh.

'Hey, can you get away from my siblings? You're taking over my role as the older brother here.'

'Ho, ho! So you are also a swordmaster?! Outstanding!'

Spencer and Selena.

'Hey, could you teach me a few tricks for wielding a large sword?'

'Brother Liam is so nice.'

'So you want to be Luke's knight? You better be ready to handle stress then. I've heard he's quite sacrificial.'

Lina, Julius, and Klein. And finally...

'You can't be a knight without a sword, right?'

The silver-haired man, Luke.

Liam finally got himself a family that he was sure wouldn't leave him. He'd only met them recently, but the way they welcomed him as if they'd known him for years had left an indelible impression on him. So he would do anything to protect them.

Even by means of killing somebody.

Liam pushed his speed to the limit, to the point where he was barely visible. This is the first time he used his strength, so he's got no control and is letting it all out. The mages began to panic as they were taken aback by his unexpected speed.

"W-where is he?!"

"Be alert!"

Liam immediately went behind the mages. The mages had detected him and were about to turn around, but it was too late.

Slash!

The heads of the mages, except for the leader, all fell to the ground. A look at those cut heads clearly says that they can't even do anything before they die. When the lead mage noticed this, he immediately cast a spell. But before he could even finish...
