Chapter 2 - The pain of growing up

"When you lose everything... you will know how precious the happiness of the past is..."

——What an old man said to Taga

A few years after the great shattering of the earth's surface... people returned to their previous lives... but people will never forget the destruction caused by the death of the gods that day... the lava took away many families... but people quickly continued their lives after the disaster, burying the painful past in their hearts... of course, this also includes our familiar protagonist "Taga".

On the day when the lava was about to swallow them, the mysterious black-robed man saved them. Taga looked at the black-robed man with tears in his eyes. The huge back of the black-robed man made Taga remember him. From then on, Taga wanted to become a strong man like the black-robed man! In this way... he can save his family and protect everything he has! ! When the black-robed man took all the children to the orphanage, Taga grabbed the black-robed man's robe tightly. When the black-robed man wanted to leave, he felt a small force coming from behind and holding his robe tightly. The black-robed man turned his head to look at the source of power and found that it was Taga who was looking at him with a firm look. Even though there were still tears in his eyes, it did not affect his look. The black-robed man looked at Taga with an imperceptible smile on his lips, and he slowly squatted down...

"You will not stop here... You will become a real man in the future... Remember whether you have power or not... You must keep your original intention... Don't let yourself fall..." The black-robed man said this in Taga's ear. After saying this, the black-robed man slowly stood up and turned away, because there were more people in the distance who needed him to save... And Taga just stood there blankly. He was still young at this time, and he didn't understand what the black-robed man said, but he still remembered it firmly in his heart.

After Taga was taken in by the director of the orphanage, he became less talkative, and most of the children in the orphanage didn't play with Taga much, but Taga didn't seem to care how these children treated him... He just played and studied by himself. One day, the person who changed his life appeared....Taga was sitting in the corner of the orphanage hall reading a book, and suddenly the director walked in.

"Children!" The director clapped his hands and called all the children in the hall. After hearing the director's call, the children all ran over, including Taga. After hearing the director's call, Taga just silently closed the book and put it on the small table next to her, then stood up and walked towards the director.

"Children! We have a new member here! Let's welcome him!" The director waved his hand, and a slightly older child walked in, with large and small scars on her face. The director clapped his hands and said, "Children, she is older than all of you, remember to call her sister~" The director touched the head of the girl next to him, and the girl didn't do anything but let the other party touch her, and the children in the orphanage called sister one after another, and Taga just turned around silently, picked up the book and sat down to continue reading. When the girl was listening to all the children calling her sister, she looked up and noticed Taga, a child with special behavior. She tilted her head in confusion and looked in Taga's direction. After all the children dispersed, she walked towards Taga and sat down, sitting next to Taga. Taga just silently turned the pages of the book, and the girl just sat next to Taga and looked at the book Taga was reading.

After an hour, Taga finally finished reading the book. He closed the book and looked at the girl sitting next to him, "Why do you always sit next to me..." Taga said in a somewhat indifferent tone. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on the other party, but he didn't want to talk to the other party, so he had to talk to the other party in a cold tone. The girl looked at Taga and smiled and said, "I saw you reading a book by yourself, so I was curious about what book you were reading?" After that, the girl pointed to the words on the book and said, "Can you tell me about the things in this book?" The girl tilted her head and looked at Taga in front of her.

Taga looked at the other party and nodded. Taga then opened the book, which told the history of the entire continent.

"It is said that... billions of years ago, when the universe was not yet born, the Creator came to the void. The Creator just raised his hand and created the entire universe... Five hundred million years after the birth of the universe, the continent and various creatures were also born. The first intelligent creature was born in the continent, that is, the founding emperor of the Kingdom of Alkaros, who was called "the ancestor". In the few years after the birth of "the ancestor", he gradually adapted to the life on the continent until he discovered other creatures on the continent. "The ancestor" stood on a high mountain and looked down at the intelligent creatures on the continent, but they all lived in a mess and fought each other for more benefits. "The ancestor" made up his mind at this time, and he began to think about unifying the continent. Slowly, "the ancestor" had his own army, and his army was invincible. Slowly, all the intelligent creatures on other continents were incorporated into his own country, until ten years later... "the ancestor" sat on his throne and he had ruled the entire continent. Gradually, the "Ancestor" began to want to find a way to become a god, so that he could gain eternal life... But this was just the wishful thinking of the "Ancestor". In his old age, he lay quietly in bed, still thinking about becoming a god... But soon the "Ancestor" was taken away by illness... After 50 million years, the Kingdom of Alkaros was separated, and since then there have been five countries in the continent, namely the "Kingdom of Alkaros", the "Fascist Empire", the "Kingdom of Eroaka", the "Kingdom of Rockwell", and the "Veronica Empire". The leaders of these countries all signed peace agreements and established the United Nations. There are other continents outside the continent, and they are the residences of different races. They are "Ice and Snow Land", "Lava Forbidden Land", "Forest of All Things", and "Deep Abyss Sea". Outside these continents, there is a place known as the most dangerous place, that is, the "Dark World". Dangerous people from different continents are imprisoned here, and the energy ball that maintains the entire universe is stored here. Once it is damaged, the entire universe will collapse... In the Alkaros Empire, there is a huge mountain known as the "Warrior's Peak". This mountain is the coldest place in the Alkaros Empire and the only mountain that is almost impossible to climb. Only the chosen ones can reach the top. The "Warrior's Peak" will give the chosen one a powerful force, but if someone with bad intentions wants to obtain this power, he will be locked up halfway up the mountain by the "Warrior's Peak" and will never be able to leave. "

When reading this, Taga paused, holding the book tightly in his hands, turned around and saw that the girl had fallen asleep. Taga looked at the other person awkwardly and whispered, "It seems that you are not suitable for studying..." After saying this, Taga silently closed the book, looked at the sky and wondered what he was thinking... Taga stood up and put the book back on the bookshelf, then took a blanket and covered the girl.

Later, they became good friends, and Taga also learned that the girl's name was Tina. Tina was a few years older than Taga, so she called herself Taga's sister. Even though the two were not related by blood and were of different races, Taga felt a sense of family affection from Tina. Tina also became Taga's only friend and the last relative in this world.

The two The two children grew up supporting each other, and their relationship became better and better. They became close friends. In this way, Taga gradually became an adult. He and Tina were packing their bags to leave the orphanage. They were adults, so they wanted to move out. The director was reluctant to look at them. The director sighed that Taga was a little kid before, but now he has grown into a handsome boy. Tina is still as carefree as before, and she seems to be stronger than other men. She can always lift some super heavy things. Taga and Tina have packed their bags. They waved goodbye to everyone in the orphanage and got on the carriage to the city. At this time, Taga and Tina were discussing what to do in the carriage. Taga looked at the map and said, "What should we do after entering the city? At least we should find a job, right?" Taga looked up at Tina, and Tina said, "I am so strong, I can do some heavy work, but to be honest, I think it is better to join the army. "Tina shrugged. Taga thought it was a good idea and praised Tina's idea.

The carriage drove slowly on the road and finally arrived at the main city at noon. At this time, the country where Taga and his friends were located was the capital of the Alkaros Empire, and it was time to recruit soldiers. The army of the Alkaros Empire has a variety of races and genders. The Alkaros Empire advocates racial equality and gender equality, so the Alkaros Empire is the empire with the most foreign residents. There are different races in the army and everywhere, and Alkaros also respects discipline, so everyone in the city is law-abiding and polite. In Alkaros, There is no discrimination in the empire, only admiration and respect.

Taga and Tina walked on the street and admired the prosperity of the capital, and couldn't help but sigh that the capital was really beautiful. There were all kinds of races on the street, and they all helped each other. Taga was happy with such an environment, and Taga liked it very much. Then they walked to a conscription office, where a general in armor was helping people who were queuing to join the army to complete the enlistment procedures. Taga and Tina then lined up. Soon the team kept moving forward, and soon it was their turn. The general then took out two procedures and said, "Fill in your information on it, and you will officially join the army! After joining, you will go through fire and water for the country without hesitation!" The general said in a loud voice, which seemed very inspiring. Taga and Tina looked at each other and nodded, then filled in their information on the procedures and handed them to the general.

"Welcome to join!!!" The general looked at the two of them, and Taga and Tina also looked at the general with a smile.
