For All It Revolves Around

V1: Our inventions call us

"Plantea Beasts are grand and huge." He smiled at him, "They are dangerous, but they give good resources." He declared as I listened intently.

"Of course, if one kills a Plantea Beast, they receive Solum. But if one who inherits Solum from birth and defeats the beast can take its Solum."

This was precisely the things that I needed to hear.

"More! More!"

"Huh? You like these stories, huh, kiddo? Well, I can spit some more out for you.

The stories went on and on as I listened closer and closer.

It wasn't until the last segment of his story that my ears tuned into the words of gold he was saying to me.

Something I would never hear from the books.

"As you know, Deus are the strongest beings in Vestiga, yet there's still a debate on whether or not they exist." He cleared his throat, looking at me. "But I can assure you they are genuine. I've never encountered one but. . ."

He looked up at the ceiling, "It tends to be a good or bad omen. . . But you don't have to worry about that yet, kiddo. You probably won't meet one until you are a teenager. Even then, the chances are low if you ever see one."

The thing is. . . I already had met one.

But I couldn't even say anything to my father about it.

I would have to wait until I could tell him what I wanted to say.

However, the only thing that got me more curious was not about the Deus per se but how he knew so much about this.

As mentioned, only a few people were born with Solum and were Nobles.

That meant my family had to be noble or come from a lineage far more potent than the average family.

However, there was one thing that needed to be clarified.

Both my parents came from the nobility, but the question is, where exactly?

I knew it was a question that I would not be able to grasp anytime soon.

People

It didn't take long for the doors to open, and there was a usual guest while my mother took care of me at home and had arrived.

"Felix! You made it!" My father smiled happily upon his arrival.

That wasn't the guest I was talking about; it was the one beside Felix.

"It's also good to see you again, Rachel." My father nodded, "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"It certainly has." Rachel smiled, "Believe me when I tell you the number of times that I heard Kassie talk about how you are being reckless."

My father chuckles, scratching his head, "You don't have to remind me about that."

It was always a joy to watch my father talk with these people.

After all, it was one of the few times I could see genuine adult conversations from them, not just some stupid antics.

My father pointed at Rachel, jokingly saying, "I see you brought your offspring! Naomi!"

Felix let out a light chuckle, nudging Rachel on the ribs.

All Rachel could do was sigh at hearing the banter between these two geezers.

I feel your pain, Rachel; I feel your pain.

"Well, I came here because someone is having trouble caring for their kid." Rachel grinned as that was certainly enough to shut up my father.
