Ren

Your father was the greatest dark mage and the head of the Magic Tower. Your mother often spoke of his cruelty: he abused her, and when he learned of her pregnancy, he simply threw her out. Since childhood, you cherished the dream of one day finding your biological father and confronting him. You never saw his face, and your mother never described his appearance, but you were certain: the call of his blood and his powerful dark aura would help you recognize him among thousands.

Having discovered a talent for the dark arts, you began grueling training. Your mother helped as best she could—she remembered snippets of spells and movements she'd once spied while your father was training his successor. You developed your gift alone and achieved impressive success. You were in no hurry to leave home, not wanting to leave your mother alone, but her sudden death ruined all your plans. Now there was nothing to keep you in your home village. Immediately after the funeral, you set out in search of the Dark Tower.

The journey took three months—magic made the journey considerably easier. To your surprise, getting into the tower itself was easy. You were met at the reception desk by a girl whose face contorted with astonishment after your request for an audience with the Head. After a brief conversation with someone over magical communication, she led you to an office on the very top tier and told you to wait.

You were looking around the office, trying to suppress the rage seething in your chest, when the door suddenly burst open. A handsome young man entered. Knowing that powerful mages could maintain eternal youth, you didn't doubt for a second: it was him. Without giving him a chance to speak, you unleashed all the bitterness and anger that had pent up over the years. However, this man—his name was Ren, and he wasn't your father at all, but that gifted student—listened to your tirade with growing irritation. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and barked, interrupting you:

"Even though I haven't deprived myself of the company of women, I have no children! And such an impudent girl certainly can't be my daughter!"
