As he and his mother stepped out of the carriage they were greeted by a female looking man, his father.
"Cella! Hakua." his called out to them.
"Rolant!" His mother also called out to his father
As they got closer His mother and father hugged each other, Hakua just smiled seeing his parents how they loved each other. But something caught Hakua's attention, A red and white light is eminating from his father chest, seeing his mother paid no attention to it, he paid it no mind. After a while his father called out to him.
"Hakua why don't you come here to father!" Hakua just smiled and went to them.
He wasn't particilarly close to his father like how he was close to his mother, after all, his father onky come home once or twice a week. And only spend 2-3 days with them, unlike to his mother whom he spend his everyday life with. But he still long for his father, he recalled his old life, His father died when he was still a year old, and how he was raised by his mother all alone. While being in embraced by his parents a voice called out.
"Rolant, why don't you let them in first, I'm sure they are tired because" the voice was from a beautiful middle aged woman, which resembles Rolant.
"I'm sorry, mother I just missed them" he replied to the woman.
As they entered the mansion which thrice as big, Hakua can't helped but be mesmerized. The first thing he saw was a beautiful chandelier on the ceiling, the ornaments and paintings which by their looks cost thousands of gold. And there were are guards on each corner of the mansion, which Hakua felt that those guards were more powerful than the assasins he killed. Just seeing the interior makes one feel that the owner of this house is truly a rich and powerful man.
As they reached the room which is like the living room, the middle aged woman spoke.
"Cella it's been a while." She said to Cella while smiling.
"Yes, Madamme, it truly been a while" She said respectfully
"Cella I told you, you can call me mother too." the woman replied.
"Im sorry, mother" Cella said with a awkward smile
The woman hearing Cella's apology just sighed and turned her gaze towards the female looking and cute looking child, Hakua.
"Hello, Hakua. This is my first time seeing you, you look exactly like your father when he was still a child." The woman said with a smile which caused Hakua to feel comfortable and secured.
"Yes, It's my first time meeting you, Im Hakua" Hakua introduced himself, while bowing.

"Hakua that's wrong, if you are thanking someone or introducing yourself, you need to put your right hand on your left chest and only bow slightly, that is how the Auburn family etiquette is." the woman corrected him while smiling.
"I'm sorry umm-"
"Ahh It's rude of me not to introduce myself" the woman exclaimed. " I'm Clea Auburn, Rolant's mother, which means I'm your grandmother"
"Ehh? I thought you were my auntie."
Hakua was surprised that she was his father's mother and his grandmother. She thought at first she was his auntie for she don't look old and only look like she was in his 30's.
"hahaha. Rolant your son surely knows how to flatter women like you. He'll be a lady killer." she laughed and glance to Rolant
"Mother! Of course that's my son." Rolant refuted
"Haha. Im just joking" Clea happily said. " Hakua you can call me mother Clea."
"Okay. Mother Clea." he said to her.
"By the way Cella, Hakua, father is still isn't here until dinner he is in the palace , you can rest if you want. And Hakua if you want I can give you a tour about the house." Rolant said to them.
"Ok father" Hakua replied
"Ok Im a little tired too" Cella also said
After that they were led to room, Cella Immediately went to bed to rest while Hakua went with his father, first he was led towards the garden which is twice as big that the one in Ancard. They also went to were their guards train which is a big training area.
Then they went a a big room, and shelves, full of books,which were ten times tall than Hakua. In his old life He wasn't that fond with books, but now in this life he spend his time reading books. Which made him to like books, and him liking books after he seeing this room which can be called a library made him feel like he was in trance.Then after recovering he spoke.
"Father can I stay here for a while?" he asked, with beaming eyes.
Rolant seeing his son happy when he saw the books couldn't help say no.
"Ok, I'll have a servant call you when your grandfather comes back."
After saying that Rolant left and Hakua was left alone which was immersed in reading the books.
------------------------------------------
After Rolant left he went back to check upon Cella. As he was on he bumped onto Lin.
"Ahh! Lin, did something happen to Cella? Its like she has a problem, she wasn't herself"
"Master. I also don't know but 3 days ago we were attacked by asassins luckily someone fend them off."

"Ehh? Why didn't Cella told me?" he asked.
"I also don't know" She said apologetically.
After that Rolant hurriedly went to Cella.
"Cella! Why didn't you tell me that you were attacked by assasins?" He asked
"I was planning to tell you, I just wanted no one to hear what I'm about to say" She replied..
"Then tell me what happened?"
"After we left the first three days went smoothly ---" the she explained but she didn't include who killed them. While Cella was explaining Rolant was clenching his fist due to anger he already wanted to find the culprit right now but Cella stopped him.
"Let me Cella! Whoever did this they will pay for it!" Rolant said angrily.
"It's Okay! Rolant. I'm not hurt." Cella consoled.
"Cella." he looked to her apologetically "Okay. But I promise that some day they will pay for it.
By the way, where is the one who saved you and Hakua?" he asked.
"About that. You know him."
"eh? Him? Is it one of the guards?"
"Nope! You were with him a while ago." she said teasingly
"A while ago? The only one I was with is Haku- ehhh?" He was shocked he didn't expect and believe that it was Hakua, but seeing how Cella smiled he knew she wasn't joking.
"I saw how he killed them with my own eyes, but i knew He did that because of me and look at this" She showed him her necklace which Hakua gave.
"This is a beautiful pendant I can feel someone here."
"Hakua gave it to me before we left and when I was almost killed the necklace shone and I saw that something came out and killed the one who attacked me."
They pondered on how Hakua did that,but they didn't contempt him for the reason he did that was for their safety. And they knew he wouldn't harm them.
A knock on the door was heard.
"Come in" Rolant answered
A male butler came inside
"Master, your wife is looking for you."
"Tell her I'll be there shortly" He replied. afyer Rolant said that the butler came out leaving Cella and Rolant alone again.
"Im sorry, I'll be back after a while" He said with a sad expression.
"Don't be. I know Im just a a mistress" she said tearily
"Don't say that! You are my wife and the one I love."
"I know" She said and kissed Rolant.
---------------------------------------
After Rolant left, he went to the living room and saw a charming woman with blonde hair like Rolant.
"Rolant, I heard they already arrived. Where are they? The woman asked.
"Cella is in the room resting, while Hakua is in the library, Felia" Rolant replied to her. Is that all? I need to do something. By the way where Illia?"
"She's on her room, sleeping, she was tired. I'll wake him up later." she answered.
"okay" and Rolant left.
After Rolant left Felia sighed. She was the youngest child Of the Lambert family which is one of the 10 great families which excels on enchanting. Ever since she was a child she always dreamed of becoming powerful magus, until she had her magus assessment, which the result is a normal affinity which can be considered a low class magus, her dream was shattered.
Unable to become a powerful magus unlike her other siblings which has above normal results, she foucused studying to help her family in management until when she was 17 her family arranged a marriage for her to the heir of the Auburn family.
At first she refused but knowing this could help her family she decided to accept. But she found out that his fiancé was in love with someone, she learned about how Rolant rebeled for the sake of her love ones she admired him. Then the Auburn decided to let him do provided that he will marry her, Felia.
After their marriage, their attitude towards each other wasn't cold but it was also not love. a few months has passed, Rolant made Cella his concubine, she wasn't angry for that for she knew he love her. then almost a year has passed her admiration turned into love and one day she met Cella, they talk each other and learned how they loved Rolant and a strange kind of friendship formed between them, she treated her like a friend.
------------------------------------
In the library, no sound can be heard except the flipping of pages. The one ho was reading Hakua, after Rolant left him he became immersed in reading but at some time he can detect some maids or butlers coming in to give him drinks, using his [Detect] skill as he was reading a voice suddenly rang out behind, which made him surprised for he didn't detect him.
"Ehh.. That book isn't bad." the source of the voice was a blonde man around 50 yrs old.
Hakua was taken aback how this man slip by without him detecting.

Sexy Sect Babes
“One in a billion.” Jack kept repeating the mantra in his head. “One in a billion.” That was the number the Omni-Corps liked to cite whenever someone stepped onto one trans-mat pad and then simply… never stepped off the other. “Safer than a car,” he repeated as he slogged through the snow, his mining overalls doing at least a passable job of keeping out the cold as he brushed aside a tree branch. “Safer than a plane. Or a starship. Safest form of transport in the Star League.” He slammed his fist into a nearby tree, exo-empowered strength shattering it into little more than scattered bark and kindling. “Yeah, well I never heard of a car ride stranding some prick in another dimension!” He roared, his voice echoing through the seemingly endless forest around him. Then he kept marching. He’d seen the fire off in the distance. And given all the snow around, he sincerely doubted it was natural. Which left the unnatural. Which meant people. He hoped. Because even if the trans-mat had screwed up, he doubted it had dumped him too far off the central finite curve. The fact that the air was breathable and that he could recognize the trees around him as oak told him that much. And if the dimension he was in had trees native to Earth, chances are it would have animals too. Of which humans would hopefully be no exception. “Because I’ll be damned if I spend the rest of my days talking to goddamn squirrels.” No, if there were humans on this mudball, he was going to find them. One way or another.

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.
