The first few weeks were hell.
Well, technically I was literally in hell but still.
I couldn't control anything. I couldn't stop crying when I started.
I couldn't control anything.
At least it didn't last too long. Apparently, unlike human babies, devil babies developed their muscles much quicker. I was able to walk in my own two feet after about three months.
Yay, my hell has reduced a level.
Strangely I still couldn't talk though.
So now I had to try talking.
And believe me, I tried. But no matter what I did I couldn't. I tried so many times. My first birthday passed I still couldn't talk. I thought devils developed much faster, was I mistaken?
Thankfully no one seemed suspicions that I was unable to speak.
2 years pass and I still was unable to speak.
When I was free I went to the forest and tried to use my magic. I tried several different ways. Mediation was Just one of them. Imagination didn't work either. and believe me, I had a lot of Imagination. I could feel my mana flowing through my body but for some reason, it just didn't listen. 'Hakai' Go Beerus Destruction ball I thought holding out my hands and imagining the purple ball of Atom shaped Destruction.....
Nothing happened.
No matter how many times I tried. It was like there was some sort of barrier that was there that kept me from using magic. I knew it was getting smaller every day. I could sense it.

My effort at speech and magic did not go unnoticed.
At times the maids in the Gremory mansion would pinch my cheeks. They wouldn't leave me alone. Getting my cheeks pinched hurt.
My mom would rub my head every time she saw me try to say something other than babble. Which I failed spectacularly at. At least my mom was somewhat normal.
That was not the worst. The worst was my brother.
Sirzechs Lucifer.
The prince of liars.
The SATAN. With a capital S.
When I first met him I was quite terrified.
He was quite fast in destroying that image I had of him.
He was literally the most awesome brother in the world.
But above him came Serafall Leviathan.
She Brought me so many gifts. From sweets to stuffed teddies. But most importantly she brought me anime.
Anime...
ANIME...
Granted, it was only Mahou shoujo anime, but it was still anime.
I was an Otaku and I was proud of it.
The only person I loved more than Big bro was my mom.
Sister Sera was far above them...because she brought me anime.
Mom Deserved the best mom award.
And Bigbro deserved the best Bro Award.
He carried me on his shoulders and took me flying through the purplish skies of hell.
Flying was Awesome.
I would bet that It would be even more awesome under my own power.
But sister Serafall deserves the Goddes award....even if she was a Satan.
Unfortunately, I discovered that none of the Anime I watched before my reincarnation existed in this world.
Why God, why hast thou forsaken me...Oh right because I was a devil. ..... Owwww...my head mother of God.. Oooooowwwie....Can't I even curse now? Oh right. I can't even use the big G's name to swear. Just great. More suffering...
ANYWAYS
I spent 3 years unable to talk and only now did I understand why. Humans only developed a voicebox and it helped mimic voices.
Devils, on the other hand, Developed the Language ability. And the moment My language skill finished developing I began to understand what everyone around me was speaking.
I knew my voice has come at last. And it was when all of us were eating at lunch.
I look towards Serafall and gave a bright smile. "Serafall oneesama, do have any more anime?" were my first words.
The entire table fell silent.
Okaasama dropped her fork. Otousama was completely still. Sirzechs oniisama was crying crocodile tears. When I looked back to Serafall oneesama I was engulfed in a fierce hug and then, I was spun around in the said hug.
"Rias chan said my name first. This is the best day ever. See I told you Rias-chan likes me better Sirzechs. Of course, I have so many more anime to show you. Eeeeeee" She let out a squeal Hugging me even tighter.
'Air, can't breathe.' I tried to say but it was muffled as I was hugged even tighter.
My vision grew dark as I struggled to get out while being spun at a million rpm by an excited maou.
'You know death by suffocation of Serafall's breasts were a much better way to go than my last life. So it's not so bad. Perhaps in the next one, I would be able to enjoy more'
Those were my last thoughts as it all turned black.
