Chapter 2: Ritual Room
I’d been frozen for quite some time during the time when I let the revelation that I was just reborn process inside my head. The whole realization that it actually happened amazed me.
The fact that I was actually reborn was an amazing feeling… until I remembered something…
Luke: ‘Don’t people usually forget their past lives? Why can I remember everything about before I died? Was I actually reborn?’
Multitudes of questions were moving around inside my head, but it all ended when something happened that ended all questioning of my life.
*BAMMmmmmmm…..*
The extremely loud sound of a door opening, along with its echo forced all useless questioning out of my mind in order to focus on the situation unfolding before me.
When the man holding me, I assume to be a doctor because he’s the only other person in the room beside the one who birthed me, turned toward the sound. I noticed something surprising.
Two men had just entered the room, but that wasn’t the surprising part. What shocked me was the fact that there was some kind of darkness surrounding the men who had just entered.
Being brought closer to the two men made my spine shiver in fear. The two men once entered began moving closer toward me and the doctor holding me.
The man now kneeling in fear lifted me up by my armpits. Giving me the perfect opportunity to examine what they looked like.
Ignoring the cold darkness that surrounded the two men I began to examine what they looked like... starting with the man on the left, I began my examination.
The man’s features shocked me at first sight. The man was wearing a pure black cloak that covered from his neck down. Looking directly at the cloak made me feel as though I feel into a black hole.
The long blood red hair covering his head was a major clashing factor with the color of his skin. His skin was a pale blue, reminding me of a humans veins.
His blood red hair covering his ears spilled over the back of his black cloak reminding me of blood dripping from an open wound. His hair reached down to his shoulder blades.
The grin he was wearing made my eyes widen in fear of what he was thinking. Looking into his eyes for a reason behind the grin made my spine shiver in fear.
What I saw in his eyes was creepy to say the least. His eyes were void of all color. Only darkness remained. No iris, no pupil, just darkness…
His contrasting body colors and creepy eyes made me feel as though the reason he wore the robe was to stop people’s stares.
The man on the right was a much more difficult person to examine, although the darkness was there I felt more nobility emulating from his body than darkness.
The man on the right was wearing something resembling nobility. The amazing care put into the stitching made him seem all the more noble.
His clothes were of red and purple with golden threading, covering his whole body the elegance of the clothing made me feel as though the kneeling Doctor was right in respecting his authority.
The man had two black horns protruding out of pitch black hair, rivaling the darkness of the cloak the man on the left was wearing. His hair that looked to be made of silk reached all the way down to his waist.
With black hair and horns it was almost impossible to distinguish the difference between the two. Finding the beginning of where the horns started and were attached to his head was very difficult if I didn’t strain my eyes.
His horns on his head were rather long. They formed upwards out of his head, curving to the back of his head. Ending with a point, they seemed sharp enough to stab someone like a knife would.
His eyes were red with vertical slits, almost resembling a snake's eyes. His eyes were rather dark as though there was no light reflecting in his eyes.
Though his ears were pointed just like many of the other people I have seen I found it rather odd because his skin was a pale white almost like a ghost or dead person.
The contrast between skin and hair wasn’t as bad as the other man but it still made me feel quite scared. His face was a very handsome one, making most people fall in love at sight.
His facial expression was rather angry at the moment. Looking at the woman he squinted his eyes a tiny bit. Then moving his eyes to look at me. His expression moved from angry to rage filled.
Starting the conversation the nobleman spoke first.
Nobleman: “I see the newborn is male… Adviser test the levels of power.”
The man who wore the black cloak moved forward toward me. Pulling out a glowing orb with his left hand, and a knife with his right. He started to walk up to me.
Luke: ‘Okay so that guy is his Adviser? Rather scary guy if you ask me… Wait what is he doing with that knife?!?’
Using the knife to cut my hand he placed my bloodied hand on the orb.

A multitude of colors began to flow around in the orb... For around 30 seconds the man waited and once done he looked into the orb…
Waiting for a few minutes into the orb the Adviser’s mouth fell open. With the Adviser taking so long the Nobleman began to speak.
Nobleman: “What’s taking so long! Hurry up and tell me how strong he is!”
Adviser: “My Lord…. There's a problem we need to resolve… His power is already three times higher than yours…”
Lord: “WHAT!?! That can’t be! I won’t let my own son take over as Demon Lord when I’m still in power!” Growing increasingly angry at whatever happened he continued…
Lord: “Prepare the ritual room! Were going to seal this brats power.”
Luke: “Wait they are going to seal me? What the hell is a ritual room? What is this about Demon Lords? I don’t get anything! Wasn’t I reborn into my old world?”
The expression on the Adviser twitched for a moment before turning calm. When the Doctor interrupted.
Doctor: “But My Lord! We are being attacked by the….”
Father?: “Who said you could talk fool!”
My new Father first grabbing me from the Doctor’s grasp. Kicked the man right in the chest sending him flying across the room. Ending his flight was a poor wall that didn’t hurt nobody.
*Crack*
After hitting the wall with an amazing cracking sound coming from the wall. The man didn’t move, nor twitch, after hitting the wall.
Luke: ‘Holy fuck! My dad, I think? Just killed that guy for no reason!’
Adviser: “My lord you do remember that it will take a lot of your energy to seal the boy. And we are under attack at the moment… Are you sure?”
Father?: “Do what I say and don’t question me! Prepare the sealing ritual right now!”
The Adviser leaving the room I was carried by my new Father out into a hallway. After a few minutes we arrived in front of a large door.
My new Father opening the door I saw only darkness, except upon entering I saw a soft glow coming from a circle and several lines.
While I was brought to the center of the circle I was subsequently placed there too… Looking around I saw several people with multitudes of different colored clothing surrounding me at the edges of the circle.
Now on my back, in the middle of a glowing circle I was rather nervous about what was going to happen. I couldn’t see very well.
I did see my Father move to the portion of the circle of where my head was. I could see him, and the Adviser on his right.
After a few minutes of what I guess was the people preparing by placing some kind of lit candles in front of themselves. I heard my new Father yell...
Father?: “Begin the sealing Ritual!!!”
What happened next was something out of a sci fi movie. With lasers coming out of the robed peoples hands I began floating in some kind of orb.
The weird thing was the colors of the beams were the same color as their robes. With my new Father having the largest beam of all.
I then realized that I should try to talk to these people.
Luke: “&*(!@^$) @&*!$^_@”
Luke: ‘What the fuck was that? I have no idea what I just said!”
After around an hour whatever they were doing to me was finally finished. I felt an immediate change during that time however. I became rather tired and wasn’t going to stay awake much longer.
Afterwards while I was still awake I saw the Adviser who was standing next to my new Father start to walk toward me.
The situation immediately changed when I saw my new Father pull the sword strapped to his waist. He then proceeded to cut the Adviser diagonally in half.
What I saw next I couldn’t even describe very well. There was some kind of giant shadow covering most of the room blocking out the candles which had been lit for the ceremony.
What happened next was confusing. My new Father appeared in front of me and whispered into my ear some questionable words.
Father?: “I’m doing this for you my son… and remember, don’t let anger rule you....”
Luke: ‘What is this guy saying?’
After whispering those words into my ear he placed me down as far from the cut Adviser as possible in the dark room.
The last thing I remember was the sound of a female voice saying something…
Female Voice: “Your murder of countless dwarven, elven, and human villages ends today! The Hero Elizabeth, will be your end Demon Lord!”
