Alex,Ethan and Josie: "WHAT THE

FUCK?!"

They couldn't help but swear! "You call that a damn trick?!" they all thought.

Josie: "Bro! Teach us too, you gotta teach us!"

Alex and Ethan: "Yeah! Yeah!"

Jay held up his smugness as he swayed his giant tail side to side.

Jay: "Hmmmm..."

Hearing that 'hmmm' their gazes deepened as anticipation overtook their minds. After a few minutes Jay finally opened his mouth.

Jay: "Of course I'll teach you! But you all must promise to always train hard and never slack off! I feel like something bad is going to happen."

Although Jay was acting like this for his own amusement he wasn't joking about the bad feeling he had.

It was just one step away from entering his life and he didn't want that. So he was determined to raise his brothers' strength so they could help fight against this upcoming danger which he felt.

Their training began. Everyday they would go to the forest to train. All of Jay's brothers had three affinities just like him! Alex had wind, earth and wood. Ethan had fire, ice and lightning and finally Josie had light, darkness and sound!

Everyone was shocked by Josie's last element. A sound element was extremely rare!

Kira and Eraison were slightly startled hearing Alex, Josie and Ethan speak so early but they were soon overwhelmed with joy.

Kira would occasionally sing about having 4 little monsters bringing joy to the ever so silent mountain cave.

Jay and his brothers grew to enjoy this life.

On a snowy day Jay went hunting for the family. He saw his mother lying in the cave and he immediately remembered a topic that crossed his mind a few days ago.

Jay: "Mom, why are we not in a monster clan?"

Kira's ears sprung up with that question. She opened her eyes and gazed at the snowy sky before releasing a long and deep sigh.

Kira: "Well.. I guess it's time you know. The reason why we're not in a monster clan is simple. It's because of envy."

Jay: "Envy? Mom I'm not really getting it at all."

Kira: "(Sigh) This child… (she thought) When I say envy I meant the envy of another's potential. It was just my sister. Oh how she envied me. She always tried her hardest to surpass me and even tried to cripple me in every way but I always saw through it."

"I was always one step ahead. Until one day she did something I didn't expect. She poisoned the Head of the Zeriphe Clan, our.. father..!"

She paused before saying: "Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected that bitch to actually poison our father! At that time your father and I were mingling behind the backs of everyone so when she blamed me they believed it."

"I was of royalty, the main clan, and your father? He was just from a side branch. Yet your father's the only man I've ever loved!"

"They all knew I'd do anything to be with that man and they all thought that my father no longer allowed me to see Eraison, so they thought I poisoned him out of rage."

"That wasn't the case.. My father was planning a grand wedding just for your father and I. He accepted Eraison as his son-in-law wholeheartedly!"

"With a few words from her I lost all rights to inherit my father's position."

"She ordered the clan members to capture, torture and even violate me but that's when your father came in and slaughtered almost every Zeriphe attempting to lay their filthy hands on me. He looked so cool back then..(She said with a warm smile and starry eyes.)"

Jay: "M-mom! I promise you! I'll bring you her head and make all those who defied you kneel and beg for forgiveness!"

Jay said through gritted teeth. Kira looked at him warmly without saying anything and just nodded. She believed him.

Jay: "For grandpa..! For you!! I'll dye the entire Zeriphe Clan with blood!!!!!"

Jay swore an absolute oath at this moment. Feeling the slaughter intent leaking out of his body Kira slightly shivered. She looked at his now retreating figure while silently picturing the scene of slaughter.

She couldn't help but grin menacingly showing off her milky white fangs!

Jay returned to his brothers and informed them about their mother's situations. They instantly teared up!

Alex: "Dammit!!! M-mom's been carrying such a heavy burden all this time!! Dad and mom couldn't gain the support of their own clan?!"

Ethan: "Yeah! That's utter bullshit! That fucking bitch of an aunty!! Boys, we need to get stronger! Our first goal in this new life.. is revenge!"

Josie: "Yes! Bros now that we're actual brothers our bond is at least 4 times stronger! This pain will become an eternal scar which will nurture us!"

Jay: "Well said. However, I'll take the so-called 'aunty' of us brothers."

Instantly an abyssal black darkness covered Jay's face as his eyelids drooped!

A terrifyingly cold killing intent swept out of his body as he sat upwards in a majestic position. The boys all shivered. They gulped a few times before nodding vigorously.

Although they could be considered quadruplets they all agreed on making Jay the big brother. Why? It's simple.

Jay was not only the most powerful one but also the one that brought them back. He looked out for them with the same care as a bigger brother would and they all felt safer with him.

It's not that they are dependent but rather they are grateful! Jay was always there for mom and dad while they were just sleeping souls. If it weren't for Jay they wouldn't even be here.

Jay could've taken everything he wanted for himself and not share this experience yet he tried his hardest to bring them back.

They all felt the immense brotherly love Jay would show them and it made them feel warm inside.

With that being said they all secretly decided that Jay was their big brother. They would only listen to him, mom and dad.

Jay nodded while smiling lightly. Like so, their training's difficulty increased by a great amount. Jay taught ||Dragon's Cry|| to Ethan and ||Shadow Bind|| to Josie.

Unknowingly another 2 years passed. Deep inside the forest a 4 metre tall black lion with a massive full mane that sparkled like the starry night was battling against a massive monster tide.

In the back was a 3.5 metre tall white lion with a full and milky coloured mane watching with eager eyes.

Alongside him were two lions mixed with both white and black.

Ethan looked at Jay with immense eagerness! He was waiting for his turn to battle against the monster tide!

Jay lighty raised his paw and out of nowhere a bloodied flame ignited!

Glancing at the incoming monsters the flame's density suddenly kicked up and swallowed his paw.

Jay slammed his paw onto the ground with extreme force causing multiple spider web cracks to spread out underneath his body.

Jay: "Purgatory Flame!"

Crackle!

Swoosh!

BOOOOOOOM!

A massive pillar of flames suddenly erupted out of the ground, wrapping itself around the incoming monsters!

In an instant they were all burnt beyond recognition!

Ethan, Alex and Josie all had yearning eyes to learn that skill. However Alex and Josie seemed to recall their attributes and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Helix: [Congratulations sir for killing a three headed wolf queen! You have gained 60,000 exp!]

[Congratulations sir for killing a multi-eyed giant boar! You have gained 89,000 exp!]

[Congratulations sir for….]

A massive stream of notices sounded off inside of Jay's head. In the end he couldn't even level up once. Jay smiled bitterly.

Jay: "Alright. Who wants to come up and show off their newly created skill?"

Ethan: "Of course I!"

Josie: "Yeah go on 'Elijah'"

Jay and Alex: "Pfft"

Ethan: "Shut the hell up you bastards!"

Jay: "Alright alright we're sorry. Now come up and kill those zero iq having ass monsters!"

Ethan nodded. Jay went to the back and sat down while constantly retracting and unsheathing his claws.

Ethan looked at the monsters and grinned widely. Raising his paws into the air he unsheathed his claws.

An extreme coldness instantly broke out dropping the temperature to a dangerously low level!

Without any hesitation he clawed at the empty space in front.

Ethan: "Decimating Icicles!"

Multiple icicles shot out of the ground, impaling almost every monster rampaging through the forest.

At the same time arcs of lightning danced inside of the many icicles.

They all glowed brightly and with a 'Boom' they all exploded blowing the monsters to bits of flesh, blood and bones!

Jay: "Holy shit and you guys call me cruel? Bahahaha!"

Alex: "Damn! Ethan bro are you depressed or something? They were already dead, hahaha!"

Josie: "Yeah I think he's pissed because he doesn't like the name mom gave him. Maybe if he ask mo-"

Jay and Alex: "Are you crazy man?! Mom would tear his guts out and eat it if he complained about his name. She loved that shit too much bro!"

Josie: "Oh yeah my bad bros."

Jay: "Ok! Ethan! Well done little brother! That was an impressive use of ice and lightning! Just gave me an idea as well. Now who else wants a go?"

Josie: "Me!!"

Jay nodded and flicked his paw indicating he should go up. Ethan wished him luck and came back to his original spot.

Josie immediately raised his paw and stomped down on the ground. The place fell quiet when suddenly the ground started to quake violently!

Josie: "Chains of the abyss!"

Crack!

Whoosh!!!

Jet black chains broke out of ground and instantly wrapped around the many beasts that still remained alive on the field.

Josie shifted his paw and almost immediately some lower realm monsters exploded into bits of flesh!

But he wasnt finished! He raised his other paw as several rays of white light condensed above the now chained up monsters.

Josie was shaking immensely but he pushed on through gritted teeth. The lights took the form of several spears and they all gave off an unholy feeling.

Taking a deep breath in he tightened his gaze before shouting: "Archangel's Descent!"

Vwooom!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The spears all shot down like arrows piercing through the sky! The light illuminated the entire forest before an overwhelmingly powerful explosion rippled out!

Jay: "That….was…..so….damn...COOL!!"

Ethan and Alex: "Hell yeah!!"

But their expressions all changed when they witnessed Josie had fell to the ground, unconscious.

Jay, Alex and Ethan: "Bro!!"

They ran towards Josie and checked his pulse. Seeing that he was alive a wave of relief washed over their hearts.

Jay: "Alex, maybe another time we'll review your new skill okay? For now you and Ethan take Josie back, got it?"

Alex and Ethan: "Got it bro! But what about you? Aren't you coming?"

Jay: "I'll catch up. I sense an odd presence!"

Ethan and Alex nodded while Jay placed Josie on Ethan's back. They soon left and Jay turned his attention back to the monster tide.

He used ||Dragon's Cry|| and instantly wiped them out.

Jay sent out his mana in forms of small strings and quickly located the energy he felt before.

Jay's giant figure disappeared and instantly appeared next to a cave not so far away from their training spot.

Entering without a care in the world Jay stumbled upon something that shocked him immensely.

Jay: "W-why is there such a young cub here?!"
