Vincent asked himself if he was a careless and stubborn bastard.

There's a reason for that, after all, he doesn't want to be like that.

He has seen the peace and prosperity of the Old World, has loving parents, a warm family, and a noble background, but overnight, a catastrophe has taken it all, and he has nothing left when he thinks of being loved.

At the time of the disaster, their whole family, including his uncle, was on vacation in a summer manor on the outskirts of the Demon Clan, and he was trapped in the collapsed building, and through the cracks, he watched his uncle stab his mother in the stomach with his long sword in the stomach, and cursed "the bitch of the elves" and laughed and walked away, ignoring himself crying in the ruins.

Uncle should have killed himself, at least, he didn't have to watch his mother sing and comfort himself while being disemboweled and eaten alive by the ghoul monster, so that Vincent would not have to return to that scene in his dreams and watch again and again for many nights to come.

Mother kept laughing in her direction, blood gushing from her mouth and nose, choking her singing on and off, until all she could do was a buzzing sound, until her blue eyes were completely dull.

In fact, it was not that there was nothing left, Vincent often thought to himself, and there was a calculation from his uncle.

I don't know how many days later, my father's faithful subordinate Abeli led a large group of people to carry himself out of the ruins, who could no longer cry or speak, and his mother was completely gone.

He was buried too safely, and the ghoul monster really couldn't move the remnants of the broken wall.

Back in his collapsed home, the owner of the house has become an uncle.

My father still has the remains, and my uncle said that my father was also eaten by a ghoul monster. But Vincent still doesn't believe that his father was just eaten by monsters.

He struggled frantically, constantly kicking and beating his uncle, screaming, breaking anything that could be lifted, not allowing Abeli to leave, Vincent couldn't tell what his uncle had done, he felt that he couldn't do without him.

Vincent insisted on following Abeli and refused to leave even if his other uncle, the emperor of the demon clan, wanted to take him in, Vincent would never believe him, except for Abeli, he didn't believe anyone anymore.

Abeli is a general who has to lead an army to defend the territory of the demons, and after the disaster, the demons face the most terrible enemies, in addition to the plague caused by the large number of corpses that have no time to deal with, and the monsters whose numbers have skyrocketed. Abeli couldn't always carry himself, he had to go on expeditions, with soldiers to help the people rebuild their homes, and even to deliver supplies to the plague zone.

The disaster changed the territory of the continent, the territory of the demons and the human race, there was a border line, more than a year later, there, someone set up a school for orphans, in view of Vincent's refusal to live with his relatives, Abeli consulted with the demon emperor and sent himself there.

The uncle who killed Vincent's mother and Abeli sent Vincent to school, and Abeli also promised to come to see Vincent every year, and he constantly told Vincent to get along with the children, to be friends with them, and to try to trust others, just as Vincent trusted Abeli.

They haven't been back since.

It was much later for Vincent to find out, and after Aberi and his uncle left school, they were attacked by robbers, and only his uncle survived.

Aberi must have taken him with him, and his uncle was afraid that Vincent had told Aberi about his atrocities, so Abeli died.

Vincent always cried when he slept at night, at that time there were only a few wooden houses in the school, many people slept in one room, Vincent was so noisy that the others could not sleep well, and old Crent could only put down the little child with white velvet hair in his arms, who was always quiet, and instead of sleeping with Vincent in his arms, using all kinds of hypnotic magic, telling all kinds of interesting stories, but it didn't work.

The headmaster asked an alchemist to coax Vincent into drinking a spicy and sweet potion, and learned Vincent's secret.

The principal no longer allows Vincent to talk about his life experience, people who can't live will do anything, if Vincent can't let go of hatred, he will study hard in school, as long as he is an adult, he will let Vincent come and go freely, and at that time, he can go to find the enemy who killed his mother.

Vincent agreed.

But Vincent had a hard time believing others, and the more he grew up, the more suspicious he became, and the more he grew up, the more sensitive his ears became, and he had to listen, and he kept hearing the meticulous calculations of his young companions, and the tragedies that had happened in the outside world, and the heinous things that people did in order to survive, for the sake of greed.

Vincent was tired and disgusted by this, and he laughed at those who were fake, and went around looking for fault with others like a prick.

However, there was also a fool in the school who couldn't find fault with Vincent, with a peculiar white hair, quiet, gentle, friendly, gifted and brave to the point of recklessness, without the slightest scheming, always smiling and helping anyone, like a freak who didn't know what kind of freak he was in the eyes of others.

Later, Vincent realized that the white-haired fool really didn't know that he was a freak in the eyes of others.

Of course, white-haired fools are indeed different from others.

Although he had a fight with the stupid freak (well-intentioned), Vincent also wanted to be friends with the freak, gritting his teeth and stabbing his head for many years, and felt that there was nothing wrong with the two of them sharing some little secrets or doing something together.

On the night he became friends with Elver, Vincent dreamed of Abeli, to whom he said, "I have found a friend."

Abeli sang the song her mother had sung to Vincent on her deathbed and disappeared into Vincent's dream.

Vincent woke up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned over the wet pillow and continued to sleep, before falling asleep, Vincent thought in a daze, even if Abeli was gone, he would always come to see him!
