Chapter One: The Thief

In an apartment in Kerning City, a young boy with black hair sat on his bed looking out his window. The sun was setting, and in Kerning City, the sunsets were the thing to see.

"Hey Bro, dinner's ready."

A teenage boy walked into the room which he and his brother shared.

"Looking at the sunset again?"

"She liked the sunset." He replied sullen.

"Still remember eh?"

"I just can't believe that happened though."

Silence entered the room.

"Coming to dinner you guys?" shouted their dad and broke the silence.

"Come on, let's go." The brother said pushing his sibling to the kitchen.

-----------------------

The dinner that night was different from the usual Pizza or Chinese. Today young boy's mother got a chicken and baked it. It was smothered in bread crumbs and tasted delicious. For a side, mash potatoes were being served. It was the best dinner the boy had ever tasted.

As the boy's family ate in silence, the boy was deep in thought. Tomorrow was the day he would choose his first job. That's probably why Mom cooked this meal, he thought.

He still didn't know what he wanted to be.

A Magician? No, he didn't want to travel all the way to Ellinia and climb all the way to the top just to learn moves that drained your Mana.

A Bowman? Well, he thought, I never learned how to use an arrow and bow, nor am I a good aimer.

A Warrior? He was the type of person who did not like to get into fights and he wasn't strong.

A Thief? Yes, he thought, I should be a thief and continue my family's legacy. His Dad was a Chief Bandit while his Mom was a Hermit. His brother just became a Bandit and was taking the same path like his dad. The Thief-to-be decided he would be an assassin when he reached level 30, which to this level 10 seemed like a long way to go.

"Mom, Dad, Brother dearest, I decided to become a Rouge!" he boomed, ruining the usual family dinner silence.

"That's great hun! What will you decide to be in your second advancement?"

"An Assassin."

"YESS!" His mother shouted, "Finally someone to take my path!"

-------------------------

After dinner, he and his brother went to their room.

"Is there a reason why you chose to be an Assassin?"

"Umm….to please Mom…" he suggested weakly.

"Tell the truth."

"I want to avenge her death okay?"

"Just because she was an assassin…"

"Why can't you just be happy with me being a rouge at all?"

"Because choosing your job is forever. When you avenge her death, and don't want to be a rouge, you can't change! This isn't one of those things you can change your mind about in the last second you know!"

"Just leave me alone."

"Ok…maybe I was a little harsh.." The older brother started.

"I want to be alone."

"But it was the truth you know?" he continued.

"Please leave me alone!"

"Because you always seem to change your mind about things at the last minute…" he kept talking unaware that his sibling was about to pop.

"GET OUT!"

"It's my room too you know."

"I SAID THE HELL OUT!"

"Whoa there, no need to get cranky. I'm gonna watch T.V. See you angry pants."

As he left the room, the boy shut the door.

"Yes." He whispered to the dark night sky, "I will become a Thief. Then an Assassin. And I will fight for her. And God, I swear I won't change my mind about his. I swear I will be a Thief!"
