SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

When Silva arrived at Ribest, the word of his arrival spread like wildfire. Everyone in town knew the boy Silva, the anomaly that they had all come to love.

So when the news that he was the son of a Duke reached them in Ribest, they were hit with many feelings.

Would they ever see this boy that had grown with them? They also felt that his absurd talent made sense.

But even with all this, they never saw him as an outsider; he was still one of the rising stars of Ribest.

As Silva, Mike, and Lia walked through the street, they were greeted by everyone, with people being all friendly with Silva. No one wanted to care if he became the son of the Duke.

Silva also didn't care. The name Terron was just for formality, he knew nothing about being a noble, and he was not ready to learn. He had enough on his plate as it stood.

As they headed for their home, Silva saw Quin and his party. Immediately Silva laid eyes on Quin, he could tell that something was different.

He didn't know what it was exactly, but he felt the essence of a power in Quin, one like that of a legacy.

But it didn't feel complete; it felt as though it was a legacy, and yet it was not a legacy. But he could tell that whatever that thing was, it made Quin a whole lot stronger than the last time.

He wanted to use his dragon eyes to check out Quin's stats, but then he was tackled by the one and only Roxy.

She hugged him with so much force that they fell to the ground with her on top. She buried her head into Silva's chest like a puppy looking for warmth.

The others just watched in shock. They were used to her clinging to Silva, but they didn't think she would be this happy to see him.

Silva decided to respond to her hug and wrapped his hands around her. He could feel Lia's gaze on Roxy, but he acted as though he couldn't.

"I missed you so much," Roxy said with her head still buried in his arms.

"I know, I've been busy, that's why I've not been able to come," Silva said.

"Hmph, you have to make it up. I know you will only be staying here today, so take me out on a date tonight to make it right," she demanded.

Everyone watched silently at the two of them, the only sound being Lia struggling to control her breath, trying not to get mad.

"Fine, I'll do that, but for now, get off me, please," Silva said.

Since she had gotten what she wanted, she had no issues with getting off him. She stood up and helped Silva stand as well.

Silva dusted himself off a bit and walked up to meet Quin.

"It's been a while, Quin," Silva said with a stretched-out hand for a handshake.

"It's been quite long, bro," Quin said and hugged Silva rather than shake him.

Though it had only been weeks since they left, it felt like it was years, because they all grew together and were used to seeing each other every day.

Mike also walked up to Quin, but before he could say anything, Quin hugged him.

"It's good to see you back, you mischievous idiot," Quin said.

"Well, it's good to be home for a bit, bro," Mike said.

During his time as an adventurer in Blacklight City, he had enough time to think, and he really thought about all that he had done.

He had almost thrown away his loving family, a family that didn't care if he was less talented or more talented.

At first, it was because of Lia, but very quickly, it stopped being about her and was simply about his pride.

And the more he tried to protect his pride and make it look like Silva was the evil person, the more he fell deeper into his delusions.

Before he knew it, he could no longer see anything else but the truth. Everything became his warped perspective that he created.

And that perspective was that everything would have been okay if Silva never showed up. If Silva was never brought into his life, everything would be okay.

But that was a lie. Silva was what the family needed. Silva allowed the family to have a fancy life; he allowed Lia to chase her dreams of becoming a mage.

And all while doing this, Silva never asked for anything in return. Even though they weren't his real family, he never showed them disrespect.

Mike took in a deep breath and let the air go with a smile. He would have succumbed to the abomination that day if it hadn't been for Silva and his cringe lines.

Quin let go of Mike and looked at the group.

"Let's go to the tavern first and have a small talk before we head home to mum and dad. There is something I have to tell you all," Quin said.

The group agreed and headed to the closest tavern. They all headed in, and their presence drew attention as expected.

Silva wasn't at the legal age of drinking yet, which was fourteen, so he didn't partake in the ordering of drinks.

Though nobody would care or try to stop him if he wanted to. Silva was more well-known and loved in the town than even the mayor himself.

The drinks arrived, and those that wanted to started drinking.

"The reason I wanted to come here is simple: I'm getting married," Quin said.

Silva, Mike, and Lia froze immediately when they heard that. They ran it through their heads multiple times to be sure that they weren't wrong.

"Did you say getting married?" Mike asked.

"Yeah, I am. I've been planning on writing you all letters to inform you, but I've been a bit busy," Quin said.

"How? When? You never looked like you had any romantic relationships happening," Silva said.

"Not everyone can be like you, Silva. The amount of people that love you is quite high, so you have to do things in general to not cause issues and mislead anyone.

For me, I was able to do what I wanted in secret until we were ready to let people know," Quin explained.

"Hey, you basically called me a playboy just now. I'll have you know I'm still single," Silva said.

"Ha, let's check that theory," Quin said. read-this-on-MVLeMpYr

"People who love or adore you, Silva: right here at this table we have Lia and Roxy," Quin said.

Lia immediately went tomato red when Quin said that. She squealed and covered her face in embarrassment.

Though it was evident from the very beginning that she had some feelings for Silva, her status as sister wouldn't allow her. She was terrible at hiding that type of stuff.

Roxy, on the other hand, had already made everyone know that she loved Silva, so she had no reaction to what Quin said.

"Now, aside from these two, there are also Fay, the Viscount's daughter, and that beast-woman adventurer as well.

Only the heavens know how many you have found in that academy," Quin said.

"Silva is a real playboy," Rock said, and everyone at the table nodded in agreement.

"Oh come on, I'm only thirteen. Stop making it look like I'm some guy that chases women all around," Silva cried out.

"The issue is your face. Have you tried leaving just bed head and a dirty face for once a day?" Rock asked.

"Silva sleeps like a rock, he doesn't toss, so his hair doesn't get too scattered. Also, his mana is way too high; it would eliminate any dirt after some time," Quin said.

They all burst into laughter after that.

"Hey hey hey, we are going off-topic right now. It isn't about me now; it's about Quin and his marriage," Silva said, bringing their attention back to what had started the discussion.

"So Quin, have you told mum and dad about it?" Silva asked.

"Yeah, they gave us their blessings. Mum was eager for a grandchild already; she said we grew too fast and all left her at the same time," Quin said with a laugh.

"Alright Quin, now the most important question of all: who is she, what's her name, do I know her?" Silva asked.

"Oh, I haven't told you who she was yet. Well, she is here with us, Tera Linsword," Quin said, and for the second time, Mike, Silva, and Lia froze.

They slowly turned their eyes to look at Tera, and she immediately looked away.

"How long has this been going on, Tera?" Silva couldn't stop himself from asking.

She didn't answer, though; she just looked away, refusing to meet his eyes.

"Sigh, either way, bro, you have the eyes of a god. I don't think it gets better than her, and with how she is, you guys would match effortlessly. You have my go-ahead," Silva said with a real smile.
