The Author's POV

Chapter 76

"Look at how much you've grown!"

Squealing in delight from the moment her eyes landed on me, Samantha Dover, my now mother, lunged at me as soon as the door opened.

Without having enough time to avoid her, I fell into her embrace

"Ohkhh.."

After a couple of seconds of struggling, I gave up. Oddly enough, I didn't feel repulsed by her hugging. Feeling the warm embrace of my mother, I felt my body became weak and my mind relax.

It was an odd yet familiar feeling.

...it was nice.

"Let me get a better look at you"

After a solid minute, releasing me from her hug, squishing my cheeks with both hands my mother looked at me with a large smile on her face.

"Look at how much more handsome you've become! I'm sure every girl in the academy is swooning over your looks"

"..."

Nodding my head, my mouth twitched.

...if only that were true.

Out of all my stats, only charm refused to increase.

What more handsome?

Glancing around and feeling the nightly breeze, my mother quickly pulled me into the house.

"Oh dear, it's better if you come in. We don't want you getting a cold do we?"

"Yeah"

-Clank

Closing the door behind me, I entered the house.

Taking off my shoes and hanging my coat, I quickly followed her deeper into the house.

As I walked, I couldn't help but glance at all of the photos hanging on the wall. There were a wide variety of photos on the walls. Photos of the previous Ren, photos of my now parents, and some group photos of my now parent with people whom I presume were from their guild.

They looked especially happy in the photo...I didn't understand why they would want to screw them over like that.

Turning left of the corridor, I was soon inside of the living room.

As I stepped into the living room, my eyes immediately landed on a certain individual.

'So that's Ronald Dover, my father...'

Sitting on the sofa looking through some papers, Ronald Dover, my now father, glanced in my direction.

Nodding in my direction, he said

"Welcome back"

"...ah, yes"

Dumbly staring at Ronald, my father, those were the words that came out of my mouth.
