Calamity Upon This World

"Hey, are you even listening to what I'm saying? " Myra asked with an angry expression as she looked at Rex, who looked lost in his own world.

"Ah, yeah of course I am" Rex said In a panic breaking out of his little nostalgia trip.

"Yeah sure you were" Myra said with a suspicious expression.

"So as I was saying the mana-thinning barrier we placed around the mansion to suppress William's flaw is weakening" Myra said deciding to not pursue the topic of Rex ignoring her anymore.

"Chh, what a monster he managed to reach a blue mana core despite having all the mana around him thinned out to the extreme and wearing a ring of suppression most of the day".

"I wonder how strong he would've become if we didn't need to suppress him" Rex said with barely contained curiosity.

"Rex we've been over this before. The only reason William's godforsaken flaw didn't just randomly summon an army of dragons to our house is that we suppressed William so much and as a result his flaw".

"Back when we didn't suppress his mana, we had dragons showing up at our front door practically every day, I still remember back when you had to singlehandedly fight and kill 100 dragons," Myra said with a hint of fear in her tone.

"It got so ridiculous that they started calling you " The Dragon Slayer" But still, " Myra said a hint of fear evident in her tone.

"Hahha" Rex let out a small chuckle as he took Myra in his embrace and said.

"Let those lizards have their fun, once William grows a little up killing a couple thousand dragons would be as easy as breathing for him".

" I know Rex but I worry what if someday his flaw throws something at him even we can't protect him from " Myra said with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry Myra for as long as I'm here nothing will happen to him" Rex said with a confident expression on his face.

*******

Unaware of his parent's thoughts a white-haired young man was busy training.

"999, 1000,1001,1002,1003" The boy had sweat all over his body and the ground around him was wet with his sweat as he constantly went up and down.

A little later once the boy was done with his daily 2000 pushups, he lay on the ground his body covered in his own sweat as he breathed heavily.

"Phew that was tough" William said with a smile on his face.

He had just finished his daily 20km jog, 2000 squats, 2000 sit-ups, 2000 pull-ups and 2000 push-ups.

Finally, after more than 2 hours he was done.

While he was getting drowsy and thinking of sleeping on the ground, A man with shoulder-length white hair and red eyes similar to his own entered the room.

"Damm, and here I was thinking I'll teach you swordsmanship".

Hearing that the boy tried to stand up, however, he had greatly underestimated his own fatigue as he fell back down.

" No need to worry father I can still learn" William said in protest.

While he said that his body and the sweat around him said otherwise.

"No need to worry Will, I'll just teach you tomorrow and for now just go and rest in your room. "

Hearing that William could do nothing but sigh as he tried to stand up however his body refused to listen to him and fell down again.

Looking at the state his son was in, Rex could do nothing but sigh as he crouched down offering his back to William.

"Climb over, I'll carry you".

Looking at the wide back of his father, William quickly climbed over his back wrapping his arms around the neck of his father.

" Hah, you got heavier again".

"Hey no need to make fun of me I'm still just a growing child after all".

"Yeah yeah, whatever ".

After a bit more playful banter, they finally reached William's room as Rex laid him on his bed.

" Make sure to rest well today Will, tomorrow's gonna be tough for you" Rex said with a smile as he left the room with a smile on his face.

Once his father left, William lay in his bed his body too tired to move so he just tried to sleep hoping for tomorrow to come soon.

However, he was just too excited to sleep.

After an hour of a failed attempt at sleeping, William decided to remove his ring and use (Rejuvenate).

Upon using his spell William felt an aura of peace and calmness wash over him as he felt all his exhaustion washed away.

Once the spell had done its magic, William got off his bed and made his way towards the family library.

However, what William didn't know yet was that his simple decision of going to the library to kill some time would drastically change the direction of his whole life and consequently the fate of the planet.
