Kyoya didn't plan to let his son hunt the beasts with his small hands.

That was why the first thing he did was give him quests for bow proficiency. The husband used his All Creation System's first feature, the game system, for his son and daughter.

Kuro learned the bow proficiency in the blink of an eye and his arrows were both sharp and fast.

They never faltered and accurately landed in his preys' bodies!

"I did it, father!" Kuro let his bow go, then went to hug his father, which was a childish reaction Kyoya couldn't rebuke him at all.

As he stroked his son's black hair, Kyoya said, "Don't let the bow go, even if you want to cheer… I don't want you to develop some weird habits."

Kyoya said, but his son just raised his eyes and smiled broadly, "Father is with me, so nothing bad will happen!" He laughed and laughed, but Kyoya suddenly disappeared.

Even without using his technique, Kyoya's natural speed was not something his son could follow.

Left alone, Kuro puffed his chest, "I know you are here, father!" He wasn't that stupid! Looking around, Kuro didn't feel alone, nor his life didn't feel threatened at all.

The young blood went forward to the preys' dead body, but half-way gone, Kuro stopped and looked around.

His body began to tremble and eyes faintly glittered as tears welled up around his eyes… "Father?" In the end, Kuro was just three years old. He began to feel alone and frightened from his father's sudden disappearance.

And recently, Kuro also learned that his father was not the creator. There were people that could take him away if they wanted!

"Father… Father!" Kuro shouted a few times, but no one answered him back. As the fear completely enveloped his young heart, the young blood jumped onto his four, then hid somewhere deep in the bushes…

His father soon appeared out of nowhere. His hand went to the bush, then a young wolf extended his hands to hug him.

"Where is your bow?" Kyoya joked, but Kuro apologized while clinging to his clothes.

"I am sorry… I don't know…" His father didn't seem angered as he just patted his back and led him straight to the bow.

Kyoya then began to lecture, "These trees… This power… We all have this from nature and origin… I can't explain it well, but there is no creator in this world. Everything has its rules, even the world and higher lands up above us."

"Mmm…" Kuro just agreed with his face buried in his father's shoulder.

Kyoya continued, "Even all my powers originate from the origin. I just hone these everyday and in every way possible so that I can become the strongest and make sure we can live without anyone imposing anything at us. Above, there are many floors and lands that I can't even dream off stepping in, but I have confidence that we would step here in the future."

The father put his son on the ground. His small pride went to pick up his bow, then both of them went to look at Kuro's prey.

By looking at the dead fox, Kyoya said, "I am confident, because I have such prodigy as my son. Haha! It means that father and mother aren't that bad either, right? We all can go against the world."

Kuro felt a sense he couldn't describe well in his heart. He wanted to help his father and mother and make their family even happier by going up the floors and even higher places! This desire made him feel as if he had a bow in his hand, ready to unleash another sharp arrow, but his hands had been clinging to Kyoya's clothes yet again since they were returning.

The young blood's heart was kindled highly, though.

Kyoya felt like his son understood a lot of things, so he took out a special wood from the tenth floor and used his creation system to make a bow.

Before that, Kyoya said, "This wood is nothing dangerous, but once the father uses his ability, he still can become a little creator himself. Not the one you had imagined, but the one that leverages the world and stomps on it with a smile on his face."

"Yes, father! I will also become a little creator and create my own bow in the future!" Kuro swore and Kyoya smiled with satisfaction!

He also couldn't stop himself from hugging his son, but both of them enjoyed this close contact.

"It's been a while, Riley," A warm voice rang out within the young blood's ears. The husband's daughter stood up, turned around and looked at the orange-haired woman with a wide smile on her face.

"Aunt Xiaoxiao!" Raising her hands, Riley asked for some care and Xiaoxiao instantly raised her up.

She then spun around and the small wolf enjoyed each second of this moment, "Yay!" 

Xiaoxiao soon put Riley back onto the ground and both of them went for the stroll while holding hands.

Since Xiaoxiao already knew about the family's incident, her initial take was that the twins would grow out of it.

Though the world had been harsh for her, Xiaoxiao knew that it would be different for the twins since their father and mother decided to take things slowly on the weaker floor.

In her case, Xiaoxiao learned about the poverty and hrash world from a young age!

There was no way for the twins to learn about it with such caring and strong parents.

"Riley, your mother doesn't know how to help you. Do you know why?" Aunt Xiaoxiao began to lecture in Xaya's place.

"I don't want to know!" Riley answered, but Xiaoxiao just laughed.

"You want," She replied, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be clinging to your plush toy like that. It's made by your mom, isn't it?"

"But it's made after father!" Riley replied loudly, not wanting to speak about her mother at all.

Her father's reaction was shared by the twins, so Riley wasn't that angry at Kyoya unlike Xaya.

But Xiaoxiao was here to help the couple, "Your mother doesn't know her real parents… She got abandoned alone in the forest that was far more dangerous than the one you play with your brother."

Hearing this, Riley stopped and looked at her aunt with big eyes.

Xiaoxiao continued, "She got adopted by a powerful person and got a lot of duties passed onto her. Though her life had not been too bad, Xaya just doesn't know what to do and hopes you will give her a second chance."

"Mom doesn't know her parents? Why did they abandon her?" Riley asked with tears already in her eyes. But this question couldn't be answered at all.

The aunt just took Riley to the forest, then both of them found Kyoya and Kuro.

It was just before the husband's speech about 'a little creator'.

"I will create my own bow in the future!" Kuro said and Riley raised her eyes as if pulled by his resolution.

She glanced at her plush toy, "I will create my own plush toy! Better than moms and help her learn… Ummm…"

Xiaoxiao glanced at the plush toy made by Xaya and said, "Stitching?"

"Stitching!" Riley said, then rushed to speak with her mom.

Xiaoxiao just glanced to the side, waved at the husband and followed Riley so that she could look at the valuable moment with her own eyes.

"Even Hiro already created his family… I also want to get one, sister… How about you come a few floors down?" Xiaoxiao said while looking at the clear sky with her eyes…

Those yearned for many things that were so close yet so far.
