--Newly born baby POV--
*Waa* *Waah* *Waa* *Waah* *Waa* *Waah*
[Human Baby had been born]
[Human Baby had inherited Ability: Past Life, Soul Key, Hero's Remnant]
I could see around me. The first one I seen was a old man in a white robe and what look a black suit under it. The one that was holding was a girl wear a similar white robe & a cloth covering her hair. My eyesight isn't that great to see their faces. Like I can't hear much with these ears.
The girl handed me to another girl laying on a bed. All I can tell is that she have long black hair. Her voice without understand a word it sound familiar. She was rocking me while her voice keep me claim. The room itself look wooden maybe a Log Cabin. Then the first clear voice came back.
[Human Baby had been given the name S....@#$^*%# Silas Eberspacher]
Eberspacher that the surname of my first time as a human. There 0% chance that could be possible. I remember the act that turn me into a Demon Lord was massacring that whole blood line. There wasn't a single person left for a descendant. Whatever, that girl notice my uneasiness so I claim down and smile.
I must be cute for her to go wild over that. The reason I keep calling her girl is cause she look around 14. Then two people walkin they look older and as a couple. They were talking to the girl thats holding me. If the girl here is my mother then those two are my grandparents. The man had short black hair with some gray spots and a dandy mustache. The woman was just a older version of the girl.
They wanted to hold me and were happy to do so. The next couple were older then mom and way younger then the grandparents. The man with a black ponytail wanted to hold me but mom got out of bed took me then stick out her tongue. There was a sibling rivalry there so uncle and aunt. Mom gave me to silver hair aunt with a lighter skin tone while had her back was at him.
After awhile the two groups leave the room. Mother pull down her night dress to feed me. I forgot that humans did this to nourish their young. So I went with the flow and feast on the nipple. Well after the feeding she put me into a wooden crib so I could sleep. She end up falling asleep first.
As I was dozing off the air above me warp. A thing that look like pale transparent flower appear floating in the area. The petals act like tentacles raping on to the crib. In the center was a bird like head coming close to me. One of it's petal-tentacles touch my head.
[Your are the whom mess up the system. Former Demon Lord] (?)
'A espirit first one I seen one that haven't turn into a bellua.' (Silas)
[I don't care about the fallen ones. Seem like I can't fix the error. I can stop the next one from happening] (Espirit)
'What you aren't going to do anything.' (Silas)
[You haven't broken any rules. We espirit only fix and maintain the system. We can't do anything after the damage had been done. The damage was cause by your former bloodline.] (Espirit)
'I see the bloodline wait this body doesn't have a bloodline.' (Silas)
[The bloodline of a noble or royal is deep then blood. Its like a scar on the soul. It can only be remove by a proper reincarnation. What you did was relife were you took that body from another.] (Espirit)
'I understand blah blah evil blah blah despicable blah blah I don't care' (Silas)
[The same here another of my kind will retrieve your soul 24 hours after your death. Then aging you escape the first time] (Espirit)
'Don't worry I have no plans for a four life.' (Silas)
[Then I will be on my way] (Espirit)
It leave the room as it came in. I feel really tired now so I want to sleep. That thing's voice was the same as the first one.
The next few years went by pretty fast. There's not much a infant can do just a few tricks here and there. After the first month I could see and hear clearly. I was right with my guesses with my new sight this family have the same characteristics as the hero. The one he fight for told me his homeland was call Japan. The aunt is a albino with the same characteristics.
It took me four more months to understand them. As soon I could understand them, I learn how to read. Three months later I could barely walk and Mom started to feeding me mush up food. Talking was the hardest but I got that after my first year. I practice these basics of what a human does for the next two years. Mom stop the breastfeeding when I was two.
At three grandpa started to train me how to fight. We start after breakfast with a walk that lead into a run. Next is a breathing exercise to speed up the rest time. Then it sword swings with a pole that had a dumbbell at the end. Cause grandpa's fighting style use daggers there was one in each hand. After another breathing exercise it was a one-on-one with hands and feet. Last one would be base on the season. In spring & summer it was swimming then in fall & winter it was climbing. All this took two hours.
After grandpa's training I when inside to help grandma with the morning chores. She run a family inn for travelers so the morning chores that I help with were cleaning the empty rooms, bath house, cafeteria, hallways, and mowing the lawn. Mother works under grandma as a receptionist with the aunt.
This took until about lunch where I went to the cafeteria. Uncle would teach me cooking cause he's the inn's chef. After lunch I went out to explorer the town or forest. One of those days I found this girl with shoulder long brown hair, green eyes, & pale skin tone. Now she keep following me where ever I go. I don't really care cause she's not a nosiy or pushy type.

Flashback
It was the first day I was able to leave the inn. So I check out the woods behind he inn. There was a huge tree so I climb it to the top branch. I could see the whole village with dirt roads and brick houses. Then I heard crying from the ground. It was a girl younger then me sitting at the base of this tree. I climb down then jump in front of her
"*sniff* who are you?" (??)
"Silas, why are you crying kid?" (Silas)
"*sniff* it not kid I'm Karl. Mother, Father they were kill by a bellua. I'm lone in a village I was't born in. *sniff* The nun said I was the reason Mother, Father were kill." (Karl)
"Oh, I heard of an attack on a wagon few days ago. Why is that your fault? It kind of happen time to time." (Silas)
"I was born with an ability call Allure that draw in bellua" (Karl)
"Then why did you enter the woods knowing that." (Silas)
"Is that bad" (Karl)
"huh, forget it come with me." (Silas)
I grab her hand then pull her behind me. I was heading to the inn before a bellua shows up. As we were near the exiting the woods a bellua show 15 horn rabbits. Horn Rabbits just like the name applied a rabbit a with a horn on it's head. They were the weakest of the weak but nearly impossible for a three year old to win. I just hope this will work. As I grab the daggers on my belt I yell out.
"GRANDPA, BELLUA ATTACK" (Silas)
With the alarm went out all I could do now was defend myself and Karl. She was hiding behind me as I hold the daggers. Horn rabbit only attack is call Plunge. It shoot itself at opponents that put way to much fate into hitting their target. The first one jump at me. I was able to dodge but the next one I block with the blade. That one was in a daze so I stab it with a dagger.
With the smell of blood in the air trigger the Horde. All the horn rabbits jump at us. Yea hell to that I took Karl and run. Thanks that they don't jump in a straight line I ran past them. We were being chase by man eating rabbits in the woods. I could see the exit then hot pain in my shoulder. A horn rabbit land a hit on me with it horn went thought me.
"Aaaahh."
I scream it had been too long send the last time I feel pain. There was blood flowing out where the horn was. The rabbit was digging its claws into my back try to pull the horn out. Then it stop apparently Karl use one of the daggers to remove the rabbit's head. We turn around there was still 13 horn rabbits left ready to attack. /then small black balls fell at them from behind us.
*Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* *Boom*
There were explosions fling body parts of the rabbits here and there. As for the ones that survive they were kill off by throwing knives. I look behind me to see grandpa there with relief I collapse.
End Flashback
That day after I woke mom and Karl were there to cry over it. I was bedridden for a week. Karl came to check on me everyday then started to hang out with me. Grandpa was tougher on me during the training. I think I scared him that day.
Only three weeks after that I started school with Karl. My morning workouts started earlier but I couldn't help out with the inn anymore. Our teacher was call Ms. Hangman well it was appropriate cause at the end of the school year she was hang for committing somekind of crime.
Time past by and teachers came and went. This year I will be ten. I was waiting on Karl after school. There she was walking out of the school. She was being follow be a girl. This new girl had boy short orange-red hair, pink eyes, short pointed ears, and violet blue skin.
"Karl whom is that with you" (Silas)
"Her name is Zuri and I invited her cause she look weird" (Karl)
"Karl that just mean. You are Silas. I heard lots about you from Karl. You human may thing I'm weird but this is my groups normal" (Zuri)
"She right Karl what you said was mean. If I'm not mistaken Zuri you are a Xerocole Elf right?" (Silas)
"Correct I am. Silas, Karl please stop describing me as a girl. Elves don't have a gender up till one go through metamorphosis when they turn 100." (Zuri)
"So how old are you now? Are you going to a man or woman" (Karl)
"94, It not a choice. it base on the population around me. If there a lot of women I'll be a man. At the sametime If there a lot of men I'll be a woman" (Zuri)
"So Elves are natural harem seekers" (Silas)
"WHAT, that's too mean Silas. Anyways what were you guys planning to do?" (Zuri)
""Nothing"" (Silas/Karl)
"Then why not show me around this village I'm new" (Zuri)
"You want to been see by us. We are outsiders in this village." (Silas)
"I'm an elf living a human village" (Zuri)
"I understand let go." (Silas)
We went to the the center of the village. It was a dirt road that cross.
"Zuir this is main streets. The road that head north is where all the Guilds are. They are the main source of all business, trade, and visitors. The road that head south is the longest road is for the goverment offices like the Nobles, Knights, and Church. The road that we came from that head east local jobs. There the school, library, herbalist, cafes, open markets, & Pub. The roads to the west is full of inns and stables. These four roads are the only way in and out of the village. The back roads are the residential areas just don't go to far into the northwest. That were the slum and red light district belong." (Silas)
"Wow, I'm surprise this place is call a village" (Zuri)
"We need to be a certain size to be call a town." (Silas)
"I see so where do you guys live. I'm live near here in the southwest residential areas." (Zuri)
"So your someone of higher class then us. I live in a house next to a inn in the northwest residential areas. The inn itself is close to the main road to stay out of the slum area." (Silas)
"I stay at the orphanage behind the church. In the northeast residential areas." (Karl)
"Karl your a orphan how did it happen?" (Zuri)
"Zuri leave it alone" (Silas)
"I understand, so whats next?" (Zuri)
"Silas, let go to my favorite spot." (Karl)
"We can't right now. I heard from grandpa there a pack out there." (Silas)
"So let's go to Silas' inn." (Zuri)
So we run down the west road. Then turn into the back roads with lefts and right. As we ran I could hear the others with 'False Blood', 'Bastard Child', or my favorite 'Demon Prince'. Then the one directed to Karl with 'Murderer' or 'Curse Child'. I can see Zuri wanted to say something but it can wait. Me and Karl were well unlike in this village. We stop at a three stories building.
"We're here but we have to go around back to enter my house." (Silas)
As we enter Mother was sitting at the table.
"Hello mom, I brought over Karl and our new friend Zuri" (Silas)
"Welcome home Silas and friends, it's a pleasure to met you Zuri" (Mom)
"I'm glad to met you to miss" (Zuri)
"Mom why are you here and not working in the inn" (Silas)
"There a unreasonable customer that don't like me there at this time" (mom)
"Okay, We will be in my room for awhile." (Silas)
We went up stairs to the second door. This was my room just a normal plain room. The toys were in a box and box on top were the tools grandpa gave to train. He want me too use his fighting style. We sit down on the rug in middle of the room.
"Zuri you have a face like you want to say something" (Silas)
"What the hell was that with all those people saying mean thing to the both of you." (Zuri)
"We're dislike here the names directed to come from the hero loyalist. My father was the former hero. He stop in this village once then spend the night with mom. The 'False Blood' come from outsiders and 'Bastard Child' is use by the villagers. 'Demon Prince' is come from neighbors that think I don't act like a child." (Silas)
"Silas, let me say the name use for me come from my ability that cause my parents death." (Karl)
"I see, realy sorry to hear" (Zuri)
"It's okay it would had be brought up sooner or later" (Karl)
"So what to do? I have toys, books, or games we can play" (Silas)
We ended up playing chess for hours. Grandpa walk them home about sunset. I went to bed not knowing these days were about to end with blood.
