He nearly forgot about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he looked at it again, he realized he did not try opening it after reaching level 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gulp.\" As Varian stretched his palms to touch the box, he realized he was already sweating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down. The worst is already behind me.\" He told himself and grabbed the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly increased his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 1…Level 2…Level 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box refused to budge and only shook lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 4…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal clashing against metal reverberated across the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian took a deep breath and increased his strength by a notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box he tried to open for a year finally opened. Its contents were far less shocking than he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only four letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo, how old are these letters and the voice recorder.\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue light scanned them and Boo replied. \"The oldest letter is 3 years, the latest is 1 year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's shoulders relaxed and he waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked the oldest letter and read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a handwritten letter. Varian smelled a faint, familiar smell from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Happy birthday! I wanted to give this letter to you, but…isn't it more fun to have you read them all once you awaken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, I feel embarrassed to say this out. So after some time passes, I'd be fine if you read this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You were getting tired after your daily training. I just awakened and I can't help you much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…you always help me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I decided!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll cook you healthy and delicious meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if Amanda is not at home? We shouldn't be eating unhealthy food!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is my gift to you for your 15th birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe. Are you moved? Touched?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So hurry up and awaken!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's lips curled into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amanda got increasingly busy as they grew up. They had to eat the food cooked by bots. Sia said it didn't suit his body on multiple occasions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she denied it, Sia started cooking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to cook for Amanda. You can have a takeaway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! I-I will cook every day even if you don't ask. I'm practicing cooking so that I can cook Amanda good meals after her tiring work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why is every dish here Varian's favorite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-That's because, yes! Because I only know these dishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's cute.\" With a warm smile on his face, Varian reached for the second letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stupid Varian! Happy Birthday!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did you start growing tall all of a sudden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh! Now I have to raise my head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And your stupid smile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used to like watching your smile. Secretly, I stared at your smile a lot of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, you smile all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I am worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know high school has been tough on you. But you are tougher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You stood up against the bullies, but why should anyone bully you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I beat up those guys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't worry about anything. Just do what you want, I will do my best to help you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Even though the best I could do is stop some high school kids from disturbing you and take you to fight Level 0 monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll do my best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking you to fight level 1 monsters is too risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I-I am afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, you nearly died. I almost died as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't tell you, but I still have nightmares of that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightmares where I failed to save you and watch you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can understand my worries, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please don't do anything stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That aside, now your 16th birthday gift is—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We're going to Emerald City for a tour! I won the tickets in a competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let's enjoy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I am…\" Varian tried to say something, but no words came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart was growing increasingly warm yet heavy at the same time. Somehow, he managed to open the last letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian, Happy birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should've known that finishing high school a year early with you is not a good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night outs are traumatizing. But anyway!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can already fight Level 1s as an unawakened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though you gave me credit sometimes, it's mostly you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…And you smile all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I know you're hiding your pain behind that smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We confessed our secrets that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You were afraid of losing me, do you think I am not afraid of losing you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day my power grows, I feel a sense of dread. I lose control sometimes, but when I am with you, I can control myself better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, yes! Don't get the wrong idea why I ask you to sleep in the same room sometimes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am sorry, but I almost used my powers once on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to reduce your anxiety about not awakening…But in the end, I couldn't bring myself to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High school has been tough. Those people don't see the handwork you put behind your strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though you can now defeat almost every student in the school, they still treat you the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I beat them up a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leave all that behind, here's your birthday gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good news!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have advanced to level 2!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now we can go to Dungeons anytime you want and any times you want.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am so excited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have bought entrance passes to Dungeon three days after your birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you looking forward to it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then no one can call you those names again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Happy 17th Birthday!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian folded the letter and clenched his fists. His chest heaved up and down as he tried to control his violent breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>17th birthday…that night, his mother died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled Roxana's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia was the one who killed the Fire Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian rubbed his temples and sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was frozen in fear, Sia had to protect him and Amanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't save Amanda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian had a guess in his mind.
