AN - someone maybe will say "This, is worse than reading some MTL novel", but, yeah you're right, this is basically MTL, cause I wrote it in my language first (INDONESIA) and then translated it into English, so for your bad experience, sorry hehe.

'I feel it, I can feel it, my end is approaching'

There was a time when my grandfather was still the patriarch, my family is considered as the strongest and the mightiest.

my grandfather lived in a period when the history of the world was erased by some powerful beings.

1454 M.

ordinary humans, and magicians at that time didn't know what had happened, the only thing that they knew was it was a war, a big war had taken place on earth, but why did that war happen? and who participated in that war? they don't know any of that.

There is a saying "Ignorance is a blessing", it applies to ordinary humans at that time, and only within 50 years period, they've already have forgotten about that, and live their life, do what humans should do.

but for magicians, it's different, At that time magicians all over the world were in confusion and panic, for the magicians who were very upheld and proud of their knowledge, suddenly lost some of it, It was something they didn't really like.

But my grandfather it's different, he has something, he knows something.

he has the note of his unknown family elder has left behind.

my grandfather at that time had lost everything, his parents, his family history, and even his parents' name, he didn't know any of that, the only thing he knew and had was the note, his house, and some book about magicians and spells.

But even though only with that, he raised our family to the highest he can.

we, magicians, can live up to two hundred years or more, depending on which Realm we are in and how pure our MANA is, my grandfather who is in the master Realm, lived up to four hundred years old, then passed the seat of the patriarch to his son, my father, although my grandfather has taken our family to the highest, my father didn't live in Easy mode at all, he goes through many trials, but he endured all of it, and still keep our family glory.

But he did not live a long life, when you are at the highest, Those below will do anything to make you fall, and then he died, He was cursed by someone, and we can't break the curse because that curse is not some magic spell, but a curse using a spirit energy. (:v)

With my father passed away, I took the seat of the patriarch, and fortunately, by that time when I became the patriarch, I already had my wife, my World, someone who changed me, who was an arrogant kid because grew up in the mightiest family and always been praise as a genius, she changed me for better.

But like my father, she didn't live a long life, with the same reason, and the same curse, she died too, Even though I was under the same curse too, but because of her disabled core her Realm is only at the intermediate, so she can't endure the curse for long.

When she died something broke inside me, with the curse and the Pain of losing my wife, I neglected my duties as the patriarch... and as a father.

I can't help it, when I Saw our oldest child, my daughter who resembles her mother, the Pain just got worse and worse.

so to forgot the Pain I do everything, drugs, alcohol, everything as long as I can forget the Pain, I will do it, Unknowingly, I've been selling a lot of family assets and borrowing money everywhere.

One by one workers and servants leave our family, only a few remaining, they're is who have been with us the longest. They are still loyal to us even though sometimes they don't receive their payment, they are still with us.

Not too long ago, I did something stupid, I sold my own daughter to another family, and after doing that, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming about my lovely wife, but the dream was not lovely at all, in that dream I saw my wife crying, she asks me what have I done, she's crying and crying, seeing her like that I realized what have I done, I'm about to cancel that married, I will give them anything they want, so the marriage Will be canceled.

But before I can do anything, I've already heard that the runes have canceled that marriage.

When I heard that news, I was happy, but my daughter still hadn't come back home yet, thinking about what had I done, maybe she hated me and didn't want to see me again.

I didn't search for her anymore, I would let her do what she wanted to, but thinking that my daughter hated me, made my curse get worse day by day because I couldn't focus my MANA to fight the curse.

When I feel that I can't fight the curse anymore, I order my son, to search for his sister and ask her to come home so when I pass away at least I see her for the last time.

"What I'm thinking, after what I do to her, she will never come back to this house"

John Jennifer Robins, the Robins patriarch, right now lay on the bed, his body full of purple dots, and the dead aura around him was strong.

right now, he was with the loyal Butler of the Robins Family, Albert.

"Albert, do you think Janet will come?"

Albert has been with Robins for a long time, his family has worked as servants since John's grandfather was still patriarch.

"Yes, she will, sir, you don't have to worry"

"Haha, What you say is always comfort me, Albert, but you know that she resembles too much her mother even her nature, I doubt she will come back"

"Her mother also very loves her family, so she is, she will come, just wait, sir"

"... Yeah, she really her mother's copy"

Then a silence comes in the room, when John talks about his wife this always happens, and Albert knows this, but then John says something.

"Albert, thanks to you, who always take care of this family, when I'm acting like a foolish person, this family still standing, thank you"

"...Don't say it like that John, you sound like someone who will die anytime soon, cheer up!"

"...haha, I will"

Jhon said, unclear if he will cheer up or will die.

Looking at his master and old friends like that, Albert takes a deep breath.

"Haaaah, John, we have been together since we were children, I know you better than anyone else, your family is my family too, so, of course, I will take care of it when you are absent, even if you don't pay me, I will still stay"

"Hahaha, really thank you"

'Tok, tok, tok~'

Suddenly there was a knock.

on the Robins family, only Albert's family, and a few orphans that Albert raised who work as maids and Butlers right now.

the family situation now can afford to pay for workers, so Albert took a few orphans then raise them to become maid/Butler, the only thing they got for working here is food and shelter, although they only got that, they still happily work here.

"Mr. Albert, the young master is here, he wants to meet with the patriarch,...and he with the young miss too"

Hearing that, John and Albert look at each other, a smile forming on their face.

"Quick! ask them to come in!"

"Yes, sir"

Not too long after that, the door opened, but instead see two people, there was one young man who came along, the young man then looking at them, then came in front of them and said.

"Hello, I don't know who is Jenn father is, but let me introduce myself, I'm Taufik, Jenn soon to be husband, nice to meet you, father-in-law, ahhh and btw I'm still 18 years old"

"...WHATTT!!!"
