I am Lulu.

My real name is Lucius Velasquez.

And my brother is the ancestor of the Velasquez family.

I am the guardian of the Velasquez family when the stupid Golden Dragon turned me into an immortal. Although I became an Immortal, I wasn't allowed to grow up and my soul became bound by a stupid medallion.

I am not even sure if I am a human anymore... or am I really a kid...

I just know that my body stays as a kid and my mental age doesn't change even if I lived for thousands of years. Even if I look like a human, I am probably just a child-like being to anyone who knows me...

Since I wasn't allowed to grow up, it is obvious that my stupid older brother is the ancestor of Velasquez.

I protected my older brother's bloodline for many many years, until one day, I decided that I wanted to grow up because it sucks to be a child.

"How can I grow up?!" I shouted loudly at the heavens. I made sure that my voice is loud enough to reach the immortal realm. "HEY! GOLDEN DRAGON! HOW CAN I GROW UP?!" I shouted louder.

I frowned as I slumped my butt to the ground while waiting for the stupid dragon's reply.

The sky suddenly emitted a golden light, and from that light, A man with long golden hair suddenly appeared while looking down at me. It's been thousands of years, and I can still remember what that stupid golden dragon looks like.

"It's been a while kid, are you now interested to ascend?" The Golden Dragon asked me.

"HELL NO! I want to grow up! Turn me into a grown man!" I shouted as I stand in front of him. "Being kid sucks, I want to grow up like brother. I don't want to be a child anymore!"

The Golden Dragon snorted at me.

"Why don't you want to become my disciple? Your mother is dead long ago, and your brother is also dead. Why don't you want to ascend?" The Golden Dragon asked curiously.

"Because I hate golden dragons," I shouted before pointing my little fingers at him. "You wanted to take me from my mama and big brother, and you cursed me so I won't grow up. I hate golden dragons!"

I hide my face with my hands when I started to tear up.

Because I won't grow up, I became a cry baby!

I can't grow muscles and I won't grow taller!

Unforgivable!

I won't forgive Golden Dragons!

The Golden Dragon suddenly laughed loudly while staring at me. "HAHAHAHA how adorable, you remind me of my youngest son," He told me. "Sure, sure, I'll tell you how to grow up, but you'll be able to grow up in condition."

"You're unfair! I don't trust you!" I accused him.

"Alright, alright, how about we make a contract?" The Golden Dragon told me. "Do you know Ayan? He's the current king of the Ibanez kingdom. Actually, he's my grandest grandson, but he's become an evil dragon."

"Want me to kill him?"

"No kid, you just need to take away his dragon wings and take away his mana. If you managed to do that, I'll break the curse and you'll grow up," The Golden Dragon said with a smile. "Do we have a deal?"

I still hate golden dragons.

But I accepted the deal!

So... How to take a dragon's wings and mana?

I heard that a dragon's wing is so hard that any powerful mana attack can't injure it. If I just attack Ayan right now, it'll be a problem later, so I have to find a better and more effective to steal it.

So... how do I learn it?

I don't know, that's why I spend 50 years traveling around, searching for a way to cut the dragon's wings. Traveling around the world is quite fun, and because I like traveling, I failed to keep my eyes on the Velasquez family.

But it's okay! Big brother's lineage is strong! They won't die!

I rarely visited them to check my soul vessel called 'Lucius' Medallion'. It is the most important heirloom of the Velasquez family, but I don't really like this thing because if it's taken away from the Velaquez manor, my soul will be trapped inside of it.

It's just stupid.

Why would the golden dragon even curse when I decline to become his disciple? What's so good about the immortals? It is beautiful in the immortal realm?

I just want to grow up now.

One day, I suddenly heard the news. The Golden Dragon is now trapped in the mystical forest. Fortunately, I finally learned how to take his wings away from him, that's why I went to him to take his wings away from him!

That stupid uncle merchant called Leonardo is wrong when he said that I wanted to kill that dragon hatchling Ayan! I just wanted his wings to grow up!

But everything went wrong when the bad witch stole my Medallion.

In the first week, I feel that my body is starting to be weak. I delayed my plan to steal the dragon wings because I became weak. After another week, I hide in a cave and covered it with some barrier to protect myself from danger, especially from Ayan and monsters.

Another week had passed and I can feel that I am starting to feel sleepy inside the cave. I fell asleep, and when I woke up, a familiar face welcomed me.

I suddenly realized that an impertinent child stole the medallion from Velasquez Manor! and that child is a witch!

Because of her, I failed to do the task that I needed to do.

Wuwuwu, I don't even want to talk about what happened after that.

"Hey lil' brother! Look at this medallion! It's tough as hell! I think I can use it as a hammer!" The witch shouted while showing me to her brother. "They said this medallion can protect us from danger. I think it is true if we use it as a weapon to bump in a bad guy's head!"

NOOOO! THAT'S NOT IT!

This stupid witch---

How dare she use me like this? The medallion is used to boost mana! Her mana is orange, It means she's talentless in mana, but if she uses the medallion properly, the witch can boost her mana.

The wicked witch is really an idiot!

It will be better if she gives me to her brother who seemed to be more talented than her. I bet her brother won't use me improperly.

"Damn, this table is out of proportion," The witch suddenly said while touching the table. She glanced at me which made me feel nervous. "Aha! Perfect! I knew that I could use you in this way hehe."

NOOOOO!

Don't touch me! I am not a stand under the table!

I said I am a mana booster! How can you do this to me? If I managed to get my body back, I will make to make this witch pay! This humiliation is too much.

Wuwuwu, just what did I do wrong to you?

17 years had passed and the witch kept doing this to me. I know that the witch is not a bad person, but she's been a bad witch to me. She is supposed to take care of me not use me like a thing.

Did I do anything bad to the witch?

I just wanted to grow up.

I am not a bad kid, so why can't I grow up?

I suddenly remembered 'Peter Pan' from Gabriella's bedtime story for her brother. He also doesn't grow up and he enjoys being a kid, but what's so good if you stay as a child forever?

If you stay as a child forever...

Every person that you love will grow old and die...

I sniffed when the witch took my vessel once again. I can't help but frown when she stared at me with a smile. The stupid child who stole the medallion from the manor is now a grown-up woman.

"I'll take you with me today," The witch spoke to me. "My brother is getting married so I'll take you as my protection while I roam to the town. I don't know if you're really working but I'll take you anyway, okay?"

I don't know if it is because of the witch's bloodline or something.

But for some reason, Gabriella resembles my mama.

And of course, since I am the guardian of the Velasquez family, I protected the witch even if I don't want to.

That's why I revealed the face of the white dragon who keeps stalking them for years.

"W-White-Haired Daddy?!"

Because of that incident, I managed to come back to my original body.

When I woke up, I saw a familiar cave.

My body is weak and I wasn't able to use the full extent of my mana. If my body is weak, it only means that I won't be able to take away Ayan's dragon wings from him. I can't reciprocate inside the mystical forest that's why I needed to cultivate outside.

But first, I need to escape from here. There is no way in and no way out of this place, that's why the only way to come out is to create a crack in the barrier. To do that I used the little mana left in my body to summon a storm.

I was able to escape and come back to the manor where my medallion is.

Now, I just need to gain my strength and make sure to make the witch pay before taking the dragon wings from Ayan.

••••••••••

But I failed to take make the witch pay... because she became my new mama.

But that wasn't my problem right now!

I caused a very big trouble and I'll be doomed if I don't fix it right away.

The crack that I made in the barrier gave Ayan a chance to escape. He used it as an opportunity to cultivate and make a bigger crack in the barrier, and it seems like the white dragon failed to stop the golden dragon from escaping.

As a man, I need to fix the trouble that I caused.

My eyes went to the white-haired Duke that was left unconscious on the ground. I suddenly felt nervous when I noticed a very big crack in the barrier of the mystical forest. It seems like the golden dragon finally escaped.

It seems like Ayan used an underhand technique to escape. He knows that he can't battle the white-haired uncle yet that's why he used a magical plant inside the mystical forest to knock him out.

I made frowned as I scratch my head in frustration.

As I magical being, I know that I can things that many normal people can't do, but fixing this barrier is not my job. Only the descendants of the white dragons can fix it or else everyone will be doomed.

Just like the medallion, this barrier only reacts to Chavez descendants, that's why I can't do anything about it.

I sat beside the white-haired uncle before poking his cheeks. "Hey, white dragon. Are we doomed?" I asked him with teary eyes. "You should've called for me sooner. Wuwuwu, I could've helped you to defeat him."

The uncle slowly opened his eyes.

"I let my guard down," The white-haired uncle mumbled as he started to stand up. His expressionless face turned into a frown as he held his head. "Locate him. As long as he's still reciprocating, we can still defeat him."

I tried to find the trace of his mana but I couldn't find the exact location of Ayan.

"I can't sense his mana anymore," I replied. I tugged his clothes as I stared up at his face. "Are we doomed?"

"Not yet..."

"No, we're doomed...Hnggg," I replied. "The witch will hunt me if she knows it's because of me Wuwuwuwu. We're doomed-- No, I am doomed!"

My eyes went wide when the white-haired uncle suddenly lifted me in his arms. The white-haired uncle had a stern expression on his face but his big hands were patting my head like a child.

I am not a child...

"Not yet I said..." He told me before glancing at the big crack on the barrier. "Not yet..."

Not yet...?

Hnngggg, It means we're still doomed!
