[An abyssal little boy who's adorably cold-faced without realizing it x a silly, motherly man who's a giant rabbit with severed beast veins]
An SSSSS-level hell-difficulty instance: The Magic Academy.
This instance struck fear into the hearts of countless battle-hardened players. Elite monsters were everywhere, and any one of them could wipe out an entire team. Worse still, the academy was home to the most troublesome, near-impossible-to-defeat top-tier Bosses. And there wasn't just one of them: they were a whole family!
The Boss family was notorious for hating humans. They were all beast-vein people of fantastical races, with dragon horns and tails. They also possessed the extremely rare bloodline of true dragons, capable of reverting to their ancestral forms, and were of very high status. They had always looked down on everyone else.
Then one day, Pope, a severed-vein person shunned and despised by everyone else, brought home a human baby. Though Pope himself often went hungry, he was willing to risk his life to find the most delicious, precious, and valuable things and give them all to the baby. But before he could keep the little one for more than a few days, someone from the academy discovered them, took the baby away, and turned him over to the Boss family. Everyone said, “He's done for! That little one's dead for sure!”
Little did they know, inside the Boss family's home...
The third sister, of the hellish seven-headed dragon bloodline with immensely powerful sorcery: (making a felt doll for the little Fuyi) “Do you like it, baby Fuyi?”
--
The great father, of the ancient and mysterious eastern Mirage Dragon bloodline: “Come on, Daddy will teach you swordsmanship. You can use my holy sword.”
The second father, of the western Jormungandr sea-serpent bloodline: “You can have fun killing whoever you want, baby. Muah.”
--
The eldest brother, an upper-clear white dragon, and the second brother, a blood-defiling black dragon, handed over the crystals of their heart's blood and placed them in Fuyi's little palm. “Just chant a spell to summon us. Have you memorized it?”
Fuyi gazed at them with a cool little face, his yellow-green eyes filled with helplessness.
Of course, the one who exasperated Fuyi the most was silly Pope, who secretly followed him around every day. Even when he was punished, despised, and driven away, Pope would always beg, “Let me see the baby! I'll just look from far away. Just once, please, please!”
Later, strange events began occurring one after another, and the instance welcomed a legendary player whose strength was so terrifying it seemed like he was cheating. The entire academy faced being slaughtered...
Just as Pope and the Boss family were doing everything they could, even willing to sacrifice themselves, to protect Fuyi, no one expected the Devouring Abyss, capable of consuming all things, to descend. In its unfathomable darkness, a pair of round, yellow-green eyes suddenly opened.
Reader's Guide:
1. A fantasy story mixing Eastern and Western fantasy, with a touch of Lovecraftian horror.
2. The protagonist is a baby with a Druid-like D&D setup. He attracts beast-vein people and can also transform into a fluffy abyssal creature.
3. This isn't a poverty-relief story. The severed-vein person has a significant background, though his situation will be pretty rough at first.
