Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

It seemed likely that Danny and Annie had approached their mother for training because they had noticed how busy Rain had been lately. Rain was dedicated to spending quality time with his children, devoting at least two hours every day to playing with them. However, they hadn't asked him to provide them with training, even though it might have been something they desired.

This choice on the part of Danny and Annie could be seen as a bit sad, as it indicated their awareness of their father's busy schedule. They were showing thoughtfulness and consideration for his time by not adding more demands to his already packed agenda.

Their decision to seek training from their mother instead of Rain was likely driven by their understanding of the importance of his responsibilities and the desire to ease his burden.

In this way, Danny and Annie's thoughtful gesture reflected their love for their father and their willingness to adapt to the circumstances, prioritizing his well-being and the time he could spend with them rather than burdening him with additional requests. It was a touching display of empathy and consideration within the family. Explore stories at empire

"My kids are the best kids in the world…" Rain thought.

It was because of moments like that that Rain didn't feel the need to be the strongest in the world… but at the same time, he felt the need to try to become it, all in order to protect them no matter what.

Weeks go by like that, and Rain got some extra free time since the enemies weren't doing anything. Both the magic people and the beast people weren't doing anything and Geo was constantly monitoring both of them… thanks to that, Rain began to relax a little, even more so because all of his troops learned Magic Boost already.

"I want to teach my kids these techniques as well, but I guess they want to surprise me with their secret training," Rain thought. "Before the enemies may do anything, I guess I need to focus on the project of mastering all the skills of the human path."

If Rain's guess was right, he would probably be able to reach that goal in six months, but he wanted to gain more time… when it came to the skill of writing, he was able to make it level up faster by writing with his two hands at once… his dexterity was high enough for that… even though it was a bit weird.

Speed reading was also something very useful, when Rain tested his limits, thanks to his high dexterity and Wisdom, he was able to read around fifteen words per second. That sure is something…

"It is good to know that my parameters can also affect me in other fields aside from magic," Rain thought while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Let's see what else I can do… I need this power up before the next big confrontation."

Rain's plan was to check the enemy's territory around Sealyn becomes six months old… and while Seara was already pretty much recovered since she had the help of the two best human healers in the human kingdom, some mental support was still necessary.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rain also understood that once he gets that power up, he will pass more confidence to his family, and he will worry less when the time comes. Still, as usual… Fate had something else in store for Rain.

Around the time Sealyn was three months old, the dungeons began to change again and the arrival of the fifth floor showed the arrival of some difficult issues… the warriors there couldn't stay in that floor for even a full minute… it was either too cold, too hot, or the visibility was bad because of dust.

When Rain was reading the reports of those changes, at the same time, Seadir arrived and revealed that the sea dragons were back again and dozens of them had come to bother them this time.

"Dozens, huh…" Rain said while furrowing his eyebrows. "What is your father going to do about them?"

"At this point in time, it is unavoidable that he will have to fight," Seadir explained. "Keep this as a secret from Seara. She might want to come to help since it is the first time that Father has to make a move in one hundred years."

No one was questioning Seadrei's choice, and that much was natural since the difficulty of the task was that high. While Rain wouldn't mind giving a hand since that would make him stronger faster, Seadrei probably won't ask for help since he didn't want to owe Rain any more favors. His reward for helping Seadrei and the sea folk had been pretty lukewarm, after all.

"All right, leave it to me," Rain said. "Still, I have a feeling that he needs to be careful… it took them a while to come back. Maybe they have some sort of plan for your father."

"The sense of time for dragons is different if compared to us… but I guess you might have a point, they really took some time to come," Seadir rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I will be sure to alert those I can trust about that while we fight alongside Father."

At least Seadir was a bit more understanding than his father, who was still arrogant in spite of his age. Regardless, Rain kept in touch with those who worked for Seadir about the situation and he didn't let them contact Seara. He wanted to leave her away from troublesome matters for six months at least.

At the same time, Rain waited one week for this warriors to try to come up with some sort of method to deal with the new levels of the dungeon, but even with the help of Limit Breaker and Magic Boost, they could only reach the bottom of the dungeon while it was five hundred meters long, once it lasted that mark, they couldn't anymore. Soon he would find the reasons for that.
