Chapter 226: A Bad Idea
His life was shit.
His life was a joke.
His life was worthless.
His life was meaningless.
His life was one that wasn’t worth living.
These are many of the thoughts that Legend had. Every day it was the same. He would wake up, he would feel so, so useless, and he would be forced to watch as that bitch usurped him. She never even had to try. Again and again and again and again and-
He would wake up at the crack of dawn, forced to hear his two sons fighting. Being underground really didn’t help either of them stay calm and in fact had made them way more hyper. Worse yet, he burned most of his good bridges with Mermaid after he badmouthed Ruby in front of her, and so Mermaid refused to take care of his kids, forcing him to do it all himself. At one point, his wife could have done it, but she was long dead and gone, so there was no use worrying about it now.
Besides, it all didn’t matter. He knew that Mermaid wouldn’t actually be able to raise his sons the right way. Not the way he did. She was way too soft and would treat them like children and not like the warriors they should be. It was best if he were the one who raised them because he knew exactly what they needed.
That was why he would beat them every day, making sure their bruised skin would recover and their bones would mend, in order to strengthen them and ensure they knew what pain was. He would also force their bodies to the limit, even though their powers hadn’t fully shown yet. All because he was a good man who was raising them for the real world. And yet, he knew deep down it still wouldn’t fucking matter. Why? Because people like Full Monarch existed.
That was all finally going to change, though. For the first time in a long time, humanity was about to have a proper savior that would pull them out of the rut that they were in. It wasn’t going to be a Lord or the child of a Lord that was going to save the day. No! It was going to be a proper human! It was going to be him!
He was number one.
