I hate having people whispering around me.

Honestly… I thoroughly hated it.

Like a shackle, I was chained by the demon named the [Past].

And that ominous [whispers] have released some powers of the demon.

“Big bro… how much money can we sell this kid for?”

“Well… I don't know, but it will at least be around five to six thousand gold coins~ Even if the [luminous white lantern] can only be made from a [white magic clan] kid, but an adult will still be of quite a number of uses~ After all, they possess the characteristic of [Consume Magic], there are many ways that they can be used.”

At this point in time, my childhood memories was triggered, and were slowly pouring into my mind.

The detestable faces of the two men appeared vividly before my eyes as well.

They were laughing, eating, despising, calculating, rearing me.

With their cunning, greedy, ruthless, mocking, and heartless voices, they were discussing about my existence near the cage that was imprisoning me.

“x.x.xXX [White Magic Clan] x.x.xXX”

“HAHAHAHAHAHA, [White Magic Clan] x.x.xx.x.xx.x.xx.x.xx.x.x!”

“[White Magic Clan]~”

[White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan][White Magic Clan]!

[White Magic Clan]…

Why… Why was I born a part of the [White Magic Clan]…

We are a clan that was blessed by the [G.o.ddess. Claudia] aren't we? Why am I being treated like this?

Isn't the G.o.ddess's blessing supposed to be the most sacred thing in this world?

Shouldn't the G.o.ddess's blessing supposed to bring happiness to me?

Shouldn't the G.o.ddess's blessing supposed to protect me from harm?

If so, why?

Why?

Why is this happening?

I have already prayed to you thousands of times, and requested for help in my mind tens of thousands of times; I even decided to give you my all in body and mind!

But, there was no rescue that came.

I have no need… for a useless G.o.ddess like you…

I gnawed at the only food in front of me, and detached myself from reality while in the void, accepting the false pretense of salvation.

But even if it was just an illusion to deceive oneself, the golden potato truly did brought my withered heart the sole bit of consolation as it replaces the golden and divine G.o.ddess.

That was the only source of light inside the darkness. I have no way to go except to sprint towards there.

However, that light… was too dazzling to the eyes.
