CHAPTER 1

Nothing beats a cliched waking up in the morning to start a good story.

"Wake the hell up, Ulysses! Today is your god-forsaken remedial exams, right?! Hurry up and screw off away from my basement! Get lost!"

It was my mom who shouted a blissful morning greeting at me. She opened the curtains so that the sun rays can mercilessly assault my face. She removed my blanket, then my duvet, and finally, my pillow in the final attempt to wake me up.

I stretched my arms as I made an elegant but soundless yawn. I wiped my eyes to see my beautiful demonic mom who is all set with her long frilly duchess gown with matching headdress. She even had her fancy umbrella ready to spank me.

"Good morning~" I tried to make the most charismatic smile even though I still have dried saliva on my lips and snot on my eyelids.

"Good morning your face!"

The umbrella swung towards my leg. I felt a swift jolt of pain from my bone!

"Ow! Ow! Stop it, mom!" I cried.

"Get your ass in the dining room, breakfast is ready!" The demon roared.

"Okay! Okay!" I cried.

I hurriedly went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I checked my face in the mirror. My black eyes sparkled as I appreciate the handsomeness of my reflection. I brushed my black hair upwards to make myself more stylish.

"Tres Bien!" I double finger gunned myself in the mirror then clicked my tongue. "As usual, I'm as pretty as ever~"

I put on my polo shirt and dark jeans, then immediately went to the kitchen. My father is there, reading news on his tablet while sipping tea. He adjusted his eyeglasses when he saw me. He didn't say anything. He just glared at me with disgust.

Meanwhile, my little sister is already eating the bacon and egg on the table. She stopped chewing when she saw me sitting beside her.

"Oh, the trash is already awake."

"Shut up, bitch. Trash is still much better than you." I replied.

I joined them and happily hummed as I skewer the bacon and pancakes. When I'm about to take the first bite of my elegant breakfast, my father called my attention.

"Ulysses. Today is your remedial exams, right?"

"Yep!" I happily answered then put the bacon in my mouth. Then I took a sip of a fragrant chamomile tea.

"Good. Make sure you pass that exam or else I will disown you." My father said calmly.

"W-What?" I puked out the tea from my mouth.

"You heard me. I have no need for a shut-in son like you who already graduated from the Magic Academy and refused to work and be a productive member of society. You're already a twenty-two-year-old adult that is responsible enough to make our reputation as a house better, yet you chose to play games and watch movies for one year. You already failed the Dragon Sage Library Entrance Exam once, and the remedial exam today is your last chance."

My father all said those words with a poker face, and that's more terrifying.

"R-Right..." I bowed. All my attempt to liven up and make this day a wonderful morning has already crumbled.

"Yay! My brother is to sleep in the streets tonight! Together with his fellow trashcans!" My supportive sister cheered.

I kept my silence. If I would quarrel against my little sister, my father might subject me to a long sermon again.
