What if we discovered another world where we could connect and travel to each other? There will definitely be both good and bad things happening. And who will prevent bad things from happening?

“The Amathers Family” is an ancient family that protects the gate connecting the two worlds from invading each other and prevents people with criminal records from crossing over to cause chaos on the other side. Therefore, they were the most important families and individuals in these two worlds. But handing over the position of successor is a problem in this 58th generation. If the duties of the family are so important, if they are neglected, what effect will it have on both worlds?

Amathers

Clan leader

The "Amathers" are an ancient family that maintains the gate between the two worlds. They have every right to use the door. They were able to determine the identities of those who passed between the two worlds. Which although using the door is expensive, it doesn't mean that no one will travel back and forth.

The two worlds are not parallel dimensions. But it is two worlds that are connected together. A scholar came across this while he was investigating the mysterious magic of moving quickly to different places.

That scholar was a member of the Amathers family. Since then they have taken on a great responsibility. They named the two worlds Yeden and Dwa and eventually devised a way to communicate with them and travel to the other side. The then mighty empire of Yeden established the highest rules and punishments for aggression between worlds. Therefore, throughout thousands of years, the two worlds have never had a war between the two worlds.

Yeden is a world of greatness and strength. But Dwa is only a very fragile and simple world. Protecting Dwa from invaders is the main duty of the Amathers family. They had it buried in their bloodline by ancient magic, they could not betray their duty. Some members of the Amathers family thought it was more of a curse.

There are many differences between Yeden and Dwa.

Yeden always had many strong and unpredictable beasts. Nearly three-quarters of the world's land area is uninhabitable if it does not possess the ability to maintain its own survival. Therefore, a group of adventurers was created to explore the area, and later, the career of an adventurer who used to receive a salary from the empire became a profession that made a living by selling treasures found from exploration. Monsters were also brought in for research until they became important products.

The empire turned it into an independent profession and supported it by building large guilds to accommodate adventurers.

Dwa is a peaceful land. It was ruled by small kingdoms and had no empire to control it. The demonic beasts found were usually so low grade that they were hardly dangerous. Trading demonic items was not very expensive, making the adventurer profession less popular. But the adventurer dreams of traveling to Yeden for challenges and treasures that will allow him to live comfortably in Dwa for the rest of his life. The cost of living in these two worlds is also very different as the survival rates and the difficulty of procuring raw materials are vastly different.

If Dwa exports food to Yeden, they will be paid a lot because of Yeden's hardships. They must survive the invasion of beasts and the Horned Demon Clan that serve the Demon Lord. But sending food through a single connecting gate was expensive and not worth it when Yeden himself could not afford the price.

Until the time has passed Science and culture exchange knowledge and combine to form a new culture. Travel via the gateway was reduced in cost as the empire collapsed and the only governance of the city and kingdom was no longer taxed by the Amathers family. They were in the sanctuary and had no guardian.

current era Yeden was still busy dealing with beasts and demons. The Amathers family continued to teach their children and grandchildren how to use the gates known only to their family members until the next generation, but no one knew about them because they began to conceal their identities without the empire waiting for them. worth it

“Father, the baby has been born with twin boys. It's strong.” Armando, a big man. A no-nonsense man in a black robe spoke to the old man sitting at the table anxiously waiting to hear the news.

“Like that?” He cried out in an excited voice and a shocked expression, rushing towards the medical room without caring about his own body. “Armando, from now on, call everyone.” The old man stood and stared. Two babies sleeping in the same baby bed They are as alike as sheep.

in a room There were many people in black robes sitting around, waiting to hear what they had been summoned for. Some had expressions of displeasure, as if they had interrupted something good.

“Everyone listen up, I, Sven Amathers, will be retiring from being the leader of the Nexum Gatekeeper.” Sven, the old man who had been in this position for many decades, was not finished yet. An uproar was heard throughout the room and there were many gossips that already knew who he would appoint next.

“Father, are you sick? Why did you ask to retire like this? Everyone knows that you can do this job well.” A small man looked flustered, his voice slightly trembling. He stood up and hurriedly protested. Many people expressed their agreement with him.

“I didn't come to ask for opinions. I'm here to announce it for everyone to know. And I appoint Armando to be the head of the family in my stead from today onwards.” At Sven's voice, everyone turned to look in the same direction. Many expressions focused on that large man. Both happy and hateful and disappointed. Armando was helpless, he just found out about this along with the others.

“Father, is it good or…”

“I have made up my mind. Alright, let's disperse.” The old man didn't even listen to the objections, he quickly walked away to avoid the annoying debate of the sons who wanted to dominate the family.

“Congratulations, Brother Armando. I think it must be you because you are the most suitable.” Sven's daughter congratulated her brother in a happy tone. Her expression was more relieved than happy, it was almost impossible to say what other people thought of her.

“Thank you, Erin. I never expected this to happen.” Armando was still in shock and didn't know what to do. The eldest, Lucius, stared at him with a look that Armando couldn't read but felt eerie as if he had walked close to a frozen land, and many more piercing glances were still directed towards him.

“Brother, don't care. Anyway, Father's word is an ultimatum. Prepare yourself. Tomorrow I have to perform the ceremony." Erin held her brother's hand and left the room where the atmosphere was beginning to rise.

“Fuck Armando. It was to flatter Father. Even though all along it had performed its duties well as instructed without any complaints. He's planning to cut off my leg. Don't expect to be able to do anything comfortably, you brat.” Lucius clenched his jaw so tightly that his hands clenched it so tightly that it shook. He made a harsh statement to his supporters before walking out of the room and into his home.

“Calm down, Lucius. When you come home, you destroy things all over the place, and are you going to harm your own child? Do you have a human mind?” The woman sat trembling on the ground, hugging her only son to protect him from the demon in front of her.

“My son? A son isn't mine. Father gave the whole family to Armando after finding out he had a son. And what have I worked so hard for?” Lucius shouted, causing his wife to tremble even more. The boy in his arms didn't even dare to cry, no matter how many tears shed.

“Do you think that just by having a son you will become the head of the family? If you think like this, then you shouldn't be.” Both anger and fear were mixed in his tone. She looked down on her husband who had turned into a demon in front of her as if he wanted to commit suicide.

“Milada!” His face was red and his hands clenched the stick tightly. His mouth trembled. His eyes stared hard at his wife. “How dare you insult your husband like this? Not a good wife.” Lucius's cold tone contrasted with his expression and expression.

“A man who abuses his wife is also not a good husband. If you do anything more, I will take Zeno away from here.” Lucius was so angry that he trembled and threw away the stick in his hand before rushing outside.

“Is something wrong, Zeno?” Milada loosened her embrace and gently touched her two-year-old son. Seeing that he was safe, the boy immediately let out a cry. Milada could only hug her son to comfort him.

“Brother Lucius, whatever you do is for Father's sake,” Gunnar, the second son after Lucius, said in a calm voice as he sat and sipped tea in the pavilion. Lucius walked over and sat down to calm him for a long time.

"What do you think I'm not worthy of?" Lucius's voice was soft, his head looking at the ground.

“I cannot understand Father. If I were to look at your shortcomings, it would be that you are hot-tempered and don't listen to others. Ignoring details and being too decisive, there is no adjustment.”

"Gunnar, this guy's got it." Lucius looked up at his green-eyed brother.

“Here.” Gunnar picked up his teacup and drank it comfortably while his brother in front of him was boiling water in a copper pan. while scolding him for what he had said before he could finish his words

“Then what? A decisive person like me is better than a clumsy person like Armando. Father must have cast a magic spell on you.” Lucius made an uncomfortable sound in his mouth. Today he will be upset all day.

“I say you go out to get some fresh air and find something to relieve your stress.” Gunnar stood up and walked out of the pavilion without saying a single word to his brother.

“This guy plans to go and he won't tell us?” Lucius shouted after him before pounding the marble table so hard that it cracked. He walked out with a frown and walked towards the house's moving magic circle before going somewhere.

“Father, why did you let someone like me become the head of the family?” Armando sat across from his father, who was reading a book in the room. His voice didn't contain any confidence at all.

“Armando, even though you are the youngest son, you have legal rights. I'm the one who raised you, so why don't I know who I should be? Do you think I made a stupid decision?” Sven put down the book before facing his successor directly.

“I don't think so,” Armando was silent. He averted his eyes and did not speak further.

“None of your brothers agree. I know everyone approves of Lucius as my successor, but when I decide it's you, then it must be you. No one can object.” Armando looked at Sven, his eyes sparkling. No one had ever shown such confidence in him. Even though he didn't have ambitions to be a leader, the fact that he had earned his father's trust was considered a success in his life.

“If no one listens to me…” Armando revealed his feelings. He clasped his hands together, his eyes lowered, his voice soft. Sven saw his son's expression and he smiled.

“Just be firm and be able to take responsibility for your words. The eyes of others will look at you differently. Armando is Armando Amathers, the fifty-eighth successor to the Nexum goalkeeper position. Be majestic, firm, and confident in your own abilities.” Sven stood and held his son's strong shoulders, a smile on a leader's face that was not often seen. Armando was full of energy and encouragement.

The door to Sven's room was violently yanked on. A man who was guarding the doctor's room screamed and ran into the room, looking alarmed. His breath caught, but he tried to speak.

“Something has happened, sir. There's an intruder in the doctor's room.” Armando listened and stood up before moving in the blink of an eye to the doctor's room where his wife and son were staying. Before the Protector could explain anything. Sven himself was shocked at his quick response.

“Tell me about it.” Sven, no matter how skilled he was, it was difficult to resist his old body. As he hurried to the doctor's office, he had the soldier recount the incident.

“There is an intruder. Kill several guard soldiers and head straight to the medical room. Many of them covered their faces and used advanced magic weapons. We were almost unable to fight them. I was sent to go after Armando, and another soldier was sent to go after the other masters,” the soldier said, panting, causing his narration to be interrupted at several moments.

Near the doctor's room, Sven heard a loud bang. There was still fighting, and Sven prayed that his family was okay. As he emerged from the corner of the wall, he came upon Armando, who was covered in blood. His left hand was strangling one enemy's neck while the other was stabbing a knife into Armando's side. Sven was shocked before he regained his composure and rushed to help his son.

“Father, please help Mabel and my son first. They have another one,” Armando said in a stern voice as the room heard the sounds of a battle between the intruders and the guard soldiers. With that, he threw the man in his left hand onto the ground before turning around and tackling the other man with fierce fire magic.

Sven entered the room to find an intruder using poison-enhanced magic to stab one of his grandsons. While the daughter-in-law lay motionless on the ground and the corpses of a few guard soldiers Sven reached forward and quickly cast a spell to immobilize the intruder's body before rushing to help his silent nephew. Another boy was in the arms of the maid. Even though his body was covered in blood, the boy was still crying loudly.

Sven immediately used healing magic. Even though he was skilled, he was not very good at it because his healing was only basic. He hurriedly examined the poison and the weapon that was still attached to the little baby. He found that if he pulled out the weapon, the wound would be more severe and the poison used was the poison from the Onyx flower that would gradually spread. Make you weak until you die. Armando ran into the room before collapsing on the floor when he saw the state of the room.

And the other dignitaries rushed in and all turned pale when they saw Armando's condition.

“Erin, Erin, this way,” Sven called out to his youngest child. She was the only one who could use healing magic the best. Erin hurriedly pushed the others towards her father, only to find the baby in his hands still and his body turning purple from the poison.

“Brother Aron, come this way quickly.” Aron, her other brother, was an expert at breaking things down. He used magic to dissipate the blade before removing it from his body to prevent the wound from getting worse. Erin immediately conjures up an antidote as Armando tries to save his wife's life. The man's cries echoed together with the cries of another baby. Even though someone was comforting him, the boy still didn't stop crying.

Soon the family doctor arrived. They used restorative and healing magic to save Mabel's life.

The boy in Sven's arms had survived the crisis, so Erin rushed to help her sister-in-law, but she was taken aback when she saw Mabel's condition. There were several serious wounds on her body and the poison from the onyx flower that had eaten from the wound had spread to almost her entire body. Erin immediately burst into tears. She didn't even dare tell Armando that Mabel had left. The doctors themselves knew that the body they were treating could no longer be cured, but they refused to stop until Sven had to scream and stop them.

Armando cries and faints until Sven realizes that Armando himself has been stabbed and has the doctor immediately examine him. Doctors discovered that Armando had also been poisoned and was now dead. Seeing him try to save his life and crying so hard that he would die was his inspiration. Sven fell to the ground, he had forgotten to focus on the others because he was too worried about the baby.

It turned out that he had only saved two babies and had lost an important heir. No matter how long he had lived, he still made mistakes.

Sven got up and called everyone out of the room so that the doctors could continue treating the baby and quickly clean up. He had his son, the registrar, check who the intruder was. Ordered his second son Gunnar to investigate the method of encroachment into the sanctuary and had Rander examine the weapon and the source of the black flower poison. before sending someone to find Lucius

“Where have you been?” Sven asked Lucius coldly. His eyes were still and unshakable, looking at his eldest son who had not appeared in the incident until someone had to be taken away.

“I went outside. I just need to find an outlet to express my feelings. I didn't expect something like this to happen even though it had been peaceful for a hundred days and a thousand years. Father, are you going to blame me for this?” Lucius used a calm tone, as if he was not saddened by the events that had just occurred. Blood stains even stained Sven's clothes.

“Then you can abandon your duty? Is this someone who is ambitious and wants to be my successor?” Sven looked at his son from his high seat with a look of disdain and pity.

“I have ordered the people in my unit to behave well. Have I ever failed?” Lucius argued in a harsh tone. His eyes were filled with anger that the other party acted like it was his fault.

Sven didn't respond as the person he had entrusted with his orders walked into the room before starting his report. Rander discovers that the weapon is a magic knife that can change the shape of the knife so that when the knife is pulled out, the blade will return and injure the wound. Gunnar reports on the invasion. He found no evidence of an invasion anywhere until he went to interrogate the surviving intruder, and he confessed that he had an assistant come through the moving magic circle. Sven, after listening, was shocked. The only person who knew the location and how to use a magic circle was his own lineage, and to use a magic circle he could only use his family's blood.

The report caused Sven to kick everyone out of the room before calling the person he trusted the most to investigate the worms in the house.

“Gunnar, who do you think is this rude?” Gunnar stood calmly in front of Sven in the leader's quarters. He trusts Gunnar the most and believes that Gunnar himself is the most virtuous. Sven was never disappointed with Gunnar.

“If it were anyone else, they would think it was Brother Lucius.” Sven listened to Gunnar's words and felt a chill all over his body. He himself thought so in the first place and insulted his son like that.

“And you don't think so?” Sven asked calmly. Try to keep your voice smooth.

“Of course not. Black Flower Poison was not something that could easily be found enough to be used to kill people unless it had been gathered long ago, and the price was also exorbitant. Mercenaries definitely wouldn't waste their money on something like that. And Lucius isn't a hateful person. If it were anyone among us, I think it would be Brother Rander.” Gunnar said in a calm tone, not to get emotional and also confirm Lucius's innocence by explaining and analyzing in detail.

“Why?” Sven was no longer curious about Lucius, but he was still curious about Rander. Why is Rander the summation of Gunnar?

“Father sent Brother Rander to investigate the matter of the Onyx Flower poison because he is very good at poison and can also use weapons mixed with poison magic very well. But he didn't report the poison to Father and he was the only one who tried to oppose Armando.” Sven's eyes widened at that moment. Who are you? He only replied with a dismissive answer, but Gunnar only noticed this.

“Find me the evidence by tomorrow. After this, we will arrange the funeral first. I will help keep Rander busy.” Sven ordered Gunnar to find evidence of what he had orally concluded to apprehend the criminal. Gunnar bowed to the order before walking out of the room.

“I have appointed Lucius to succeed me from now on.” Everyone had a startled expression on their faces. I didn't think he would appoint me immediately before the funeral had even been arranged.

“Thank you, Father.” Even though Lucius didn't understand, he accepted it very well.

“After this, we will hold a funeral and announce this to the kingdoms that are allied with us.” Sven summoned a few of his children to arrange the funeral and of course he sent Rander. Take on the toughest tasks of being a management leader and let Gunnar handle his business.

After only a day Gunnar returned with evidence. Information and witnesses Sven called everyone together again and started talking about catching the criminal. Sven tries to observe Rander's condition, but it doesn't help because Rander is always flustered.

Sven takes out the captured intruder and starts him to identify the culprit. Gunnar uses magic to stun him and reveal the truth. Everyone heard the truth and evidence of Rander's purchase of the black venom and was immediately shocked. Rander was also shocked and tried to deny that it was him. But everyone believed it was him.

Although he did not express any desire to become the successor, he often told others what he would do if he were to become the successor. Sven gives Rander a chance to admit the truth. But Rander refused every time and had Gunnar use magic on him, and in the end Rander was locked in a dungeon with the prisoners who violated the invasion of Dva.

After the funeral ceremony, Sven stood and paid respects to the grave with the two babies safe and sound. Even though the baby that was attacked was not very strong because of some of the poison that had swallowed and mesmerized his power, it did not affect his life much. And the next day they held a ceremony appointing the succession and Sven had to personally convey all his skills to Lucius because only the successor could use them.

Two days later, an incident occurred where the only remaining intruder attacked and killed Sven. A battle ensued. Although Sven was able to kill the other party, he was poisoned by the onyx and died.

But the truth is not what everyone knows.

that night

There was a sound as if something hit the floor and Sven got up from the bed before meeting Gunnar and others beside him. That was the corpse of the last surviving attacker. Sven looked at his son in confusion, but before he could move, Gunnar stabbed the knife the same way Mabel and the baby had hit Sven. He vomited out his choice, his eyes widening in shock. Even though he wanted to make a sound, Gunnar's special space magic couldn't prevent the sound from escaping from the room.

“Why, Gun..Nar?” Sven said the name, unable to believe that the person who had done this was this child.

“Why? A stupid person who is smart about things he shouldn't be like, Father, hurry up. It's good to be gone,” Gunnar said with a smile before laughing. His eyes were like a madman's and Sven had goosebumps all over his body. And he realized he had trusted the wrong person.

“Is it you... or..” The voice began to trail off and the body began to not respond as the brain commanded. Sven felt his whole body being swallowed.

“That's right, I killed Armando,” Gunnar said in a voice so cold that Sven went cold all over. “I intended to kill the cub, but I survived and Erin cast an advanced protection spell. It's a shame you can't kill it. but killed those who often wondered about strange things There will be no need for anyone to bring it back to trouble. Oh, and Brother Lucius doesn't know anything.

He's just my puppet...not too late. If you die, wait as a ghost to look at me. Father, anyone you ignore will completely destroy what you are proud of.” Gunnar destroyed the room like a battle and canceled out the special area before pretending to make a loud noise and Move quickly before anyone sees you.

From then on, the Amathers family's work was greatly tainted. Even though they did not violate the rules of the blood oath, they circumvented the rules to do whatever they wanted, even allowing criminals to pass through the gateway to Dwa for a small bribe.
