What It's Like to Be an Emanator of Nihility?

Chapter 1 : Self-Annihilator

The Henituse family is a count family that rules a suburban city called Rain City. Even though they were in the outskirts, they had enormous wealth. So rich, in fact, that no noble would underestimate the Henituse Family in terms of wealth.

The current head of the family is Deruth Henituse. He was not a landlord of great talent, but he was a good landlord. Then technically, he has two wives. But unfortunately, his first wife died long ago. The role of Countess is now held by Violan Henituse, Count Deruth's second wife.

Apart from them being the pillars of the family, the Henituse Family also has three children who could be the future of the family. The first child was born to his late first wife, Cale Henituse.

The second child was a child brought into the Family from Countess Violan's previous marriage, Basen Henituse. Then the youngest child was born from the marriage of Count Deruth and Countess Violan, Lily Henituse.

Usually the first child is the legal heir of the family. But, the vassal families were against it because of Cale's 'problematic' nature. Yes, Cale Henituse, the first son of the Henituse Family, was famous for being trash and having a problematic nature.

Cale Henituse is believed to have started to change since his mother's death. People assumed that the change in attitude was a symptom of 'shock' because he lost his mother in a pretty bad way at the age of 8.

Yes, he lost his mother in a pretty bad way. The late first wife died after some time from a carriage accident on a heavy rainy day. People assume that the late first wife died because of the accident.

With Cale's 'inability' to lead the family due to his reputation, the vassal families chose and supported Basen Henituse as the heir of the Henituse Family. Basen started attending social events and so on as a representative of the Henituse Family.

Why did they choose Basen Henituse who is not a child of the Henituse Family? That was because Basen Henituse's calm and mature nature was the complete opposite to Cale's irritable and selfish nature. They also didn't choose Lily Henituse because she was too young.

The lives of the two young masters of the Henituse Family were completely opposite. Basen Henituse who is always flooded with hopes and praise from the vassal families and Cale Henituse who is always flooded with criticism and ridicule.

That was the life that the first young master of the Henituse Family lived, always compared to his younger stepbrother. Well, at least that's what Cale Henituse wanted. He secretly hides a big secret. But, that will be a discussion for later.

One day, more precisely one night, Cale had just come home carrying a bottle of alcohol. He met a black haired man who asked where he could meet the landlord because he had something to report regarding the incident that happened to Harris Village.

Being trash like he always was, he threw inappropriate lines at the man and insulted the residents of Harris Village who died in the incident which made the man very angry with him. The man unceremoniously beat Cale black and blue.

The man was successfully separated by several servants of the Henituse Family who saw the incident. That man really beat Cale Henituse into a bloody mess. Cale, who received the attack, of course lost consciousness. He was immediately treated to prevent unwanted events.

The incident of the attack was enough to make the noble world very uproar. Everyone in the Roan kingdom was talking about this incident. Some nobles said that he deserved it because of his trash attitude. But there were also some who felt sorry for him.

While the Noble world was in a great uproar due to the attack, Cale reportedly went into a coma because he received quite a severe blow and lost a lot of blood. What about the guy who beat Cale?
