Chapter 1 - Determination

"Huffft,,,,, it's tiring".

"Don't force yourself for training just because you hear their words, you should take a break first,,,,, listen Dalvin something that is too force is not good".

"okay mom...".

Dalvin Terris, that was the named of a boy who was just advised by his mother he was 15 years old, he is a child who could only use one hand, his right hand, because his left hand couldn't move since he was born with paralysis. He lived with his mother in a village named Molluca, they only lived together his father died after being robbed and murdered while returning from hunting. He was a child who had strong determination.

He had a big dream was a formidable swordsman who never gave up, strong and upholding justice.

Everyone in his village always teased him because of his disability, some said that Dalvin was a cursed child even no one wanted to be friends with him, not only that, they also always looked down on him because his dreams were too big. 

When they were lunch, Dalvin asked his mother,

"Mom, why don't they want to be friends with me?".

"Because,,,, they see what the don't have in youself".

"What is it?".

"It is,,,strong determination".

After finishing his meal, he told his mother he was going to practice sword fighting in the forest. On his way to the forest, he was always insulted by the villagers. No one even wanted to approach him because they were afraid their families would be cursed, but he just kept quiet and walked on because he always remembered his mother's message.

"If someone insults you along the way, ignore them and keep going, take those insults and turn them into motivation for yourself".

When he arrived in the forest and he immediately practiced, he turned those words of insult into motivation for himself. Actually, he was tired of sword training because he kept failing to master the techniques and and he always wondered why he wasn't born with talent so he didn't have to practice so hard, but when he was tired, his father's words came to mind.

"Someone who truly wants to become what they want to be will always practice hard and never blame themselves for not having talent, because they know that hard work will overcome talent. However they will blame themselves for not having strong determination even though they have great motivation".

Because of his father's words, he continued to practice and practice. While practicing, he vented the feelings of disappointment, anger, and sadness that he had always held inside when he was insulted and ostracized. He also remembered the day his father died.

"Arghhhh,,,,,,shing why was I born like this? shing shing I'm really pathetic, shing really pathetic!!!! shingshing".

When he finished training, he went straight home, on the way home, the villagers always mocked and insulted him, but he didn't care until he arrived at his house.

When they were dinner, his mother asked,

"Did you care about them when they insulted you, Dalvin?".

"No mom, their insults don't hurt me at all".

"Good,, don't ever pay attention to what they say, they're just jealous of what you have,,, keep practicing, Dalvin,,,,, mom will always support you, and don't ever forget your father's advice".

Month after month, he endured insults, ridicule, and sword training, but his determination to achieve his dream only grew stronger, he also mastered several sword techniques.

Until one day, while he was practicing in the forest, he accidentally heard a woman calling for help, she was being surrounded by the robbers who had robbed and killed his father, without warning, he approached them. 

"Hey, you guys,,,, where's your pride, huhhh?,,,,, how dare you surround and try to rob a woman who's all alone?".

"Who are you, huhh?,,,,, Just a little kid, huh? hahaha,,,,, how dare you try to fight us alone?".

"Hahahaha".

"You want to fight us with that stupid old sword of yours? hahaha".

"Ouhh,, yeah!!?".

"Hyaahhh!!,,, swish,,, clank,,, clank,,, clank,,, thud,,, squish,,, ahhhh!!".

"Dad,,,, i've avenged your death".

Dalvin managed to slaughter the robbers even though he was slightly injured, and he also managed to avenge himself. 

"i remind you losers, not to ever judge something by its appearance alone".

When he wanted to leave and went back to home, the girl stopped him and thanked him.

On his way home, he was very proud of himself because he had mastered several sword techniques and managed to save people and even avenge his father's death.
