Hi everyone! BreadCrumble (formerly Jinno) here! I'm now only writing leisurely just to brush up my English writing because high school is going to be a pain in the neck for sure...well that's what my upperclassmen say to me.

Note: I view Rufus/Luxus as mature for his age. So don't be surprised if his vocab seems quite advanced for an 8-year-old.

This will be from when he was 8 years old, to *hopefully* when he joins the Grand Chase at 20 years old.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Grand Chase or any of its characters. They all belong to KoG Studios. I only own the plot. Rufus owns this journal! /shot/


Disymbreus, year of Luxia

Current Age: 8 Demonic Years

First Week

I'm not sure if Legis is trying to show how illiterate I am by gifting me this dingy notebook for my birthday. He just shoved it to my face and told me to do something useful with it.

I'll prove him wrong. Still, it is mostly his fault for not bothering to finish my enrolling into a school system. If only he wasn't so hooked up into bounty hunting, maybe he would actually give a thought about my education. He never told me why, more of I never really asked him why. Not like I could, since he barely stays at home even for meals.

Most of Legis' friends in the neighborhood wonder why despite the tremendous amount of money he receives from a single bounty, he never pampered the two of us with great feasts or butlers and maids rushing about. I mean, my birthday presents for these past years were more or less just a cheap store bought card and this dirty old notebook this year.

I wouldn't know why he's like this. Maybe I'll ask him about these when he returns in two weeks time.


Second Week

It's possible to die of boredom in my house. Well, it's still Legis' house but he rarely stays in it anyway. It is actually more interesting to read one of those 500-page "Guns for Dummies" manuals lying around the house.

I think I mentioned that Legis is a bounty hunter fanatic.

I don't want to be like him.

Not like I can.

Even if I did try, I might just be wasting my time and energy.

As you can see, not like you can see since you're just a crummy notebook, my right eye appears to look normal but in fact, it's lacking those thingies the local doctor calls "the seeing part". I think the doc was just trying to break it to my family in a mild manner that I'm half blind. I didn't really care. For some reason, I could still see the Underworld perfectly, even with just one eye. I never had trouble walking in the dark or throwing stones on a mark when there's nothing to do.

But Legis seems so bothered about it…


Third Week

My father just arrived home, bringing a large sack, which I assumed was the spoils he got from his mission and as well as the cash reward. I brought up the question.

"Legis, how come you never bothered sending me to a school?" I asked him over dinner.

"Is that how you call your own father?"

"Well, you told me last time to not call you those cheesy father names." I had a talent of twisting a demon's words to backfire on them.

"Hmf…because someone else will be more worth investing on. Obviously, it's not you." He gruffly answered. Legis was no more than 30 demonic years but his voice was that of someone who went through puberty twice. His voice was deep and stern and he usually barked and not spoke.

I was used to his manner of speaking and he never was the type to mince his words carefully. After that explanation, he sent me up to my room and here I am, writing my thoughts of what had just happened.

I want to prove him wrong and show him that I am worthy investment. But how? That would mean I'd have to be a Bounty Hunter of sorts.

…And I would want to avoid going down that path as much as possible.


Fourth Week

I seem to be only writing about Legis, not like I can stop, since nothing ever happens here at the house but me staring about and him shouting in my ear whenever he comes home from a bad day.

I wish mother were here, she always painted a smile on Legis' face. She was the one who brought up the topic on my education and future to him. She would take me on walks early in the morning and tell me stories of her adventures and missions at night. She always looked after the house and me whenever she was on a day-off.

But she just suddenly disappeared.

I was only a tyke when she…went missing, as what Legis said. Legis told me one day that she went on a mission to another world and never came back.

Obviously, I don't believe this. My mother was just as skilled as Legis in bounty hunting (and that's how they met too), surely Legis skewed up the story somehow. Ever since she "disappeared" though, Legis has been working full time on the most difficult missions and dangerous bounties, and of course, that rolled in a lot of dough…for him that is. With this, he spent less hours at home and usually when he doesn't have a mission, he goes training in some mountain with what most say where iron dragons are born.

I wouldn't be surprised if one day, that man would collapse after working himself to death. I might actually be glad.


Jinno: How was that for chapter 1? xD

Rufus: You suck, and I don't write "dear diary" stuff when I was a kid.

Jinno: Then what do you do? You molest Di-

Rufus: SHUT UP *Bullet Time*

Half dead Jinno: Please R&R and tell me if I should continue or not...
