This Old man is somewhat dangerous but at the same time the vibe that I am getting from him is tempting for him who calls himself God or the Devil itself is already crazy and what did he mean by after a thousand years or letting me choose something.
"Your eyes right now is showing me something inhuman while at the outside you are calm and look like a person that doesn’t harm even a fly." Old man
"What do you mean on all of those things that you said?" I asked,
" You still don't get it boy? Then allow me to open your deepest emotions and have look at it" Old man
I could feel my head is in pain. It feels like a fire broke out inside my skull and someone Is grabbing tightly of my head. The Darkness slowly fade away and it looked like I was back in time I could see my house from outside but instead of being me as myself I felt that I didn't exist I could move wherever I want or hear anything. As I enter my house I could see myself Celebrating with my family, My mother was cooking at the kitchen while my Sister was decorating the house and my father was trying to tidy up the living room.
Then again I heard the knock of the door, I still remember this clearly after my father opens the door he will die.
"Do not look at your father look at yourself my boy" Old man,
I looked at myself and to my surprise this doesn’t look like me, as far as I remember my eyes were starting to shed tears and thinking of running to my father instead what I saw was me crying while also smiling at my father's Corpse my face was somewhat confused but surely it was smiling. While running towards my father I got caught by a bandit and twisted my arms and smashed my legs then I fainted.
"Did you really think your family was normal? And Why did those bandits even appeared out of nowhere suddenly? There was something that your family haven't told you. " Old man,
"Your family were never a human to begin with! You were a prepared to be a food for your sister when you reach 18, Your mother wasn't even real she was a Slave and most of all a lowly demon who served your father, your father was a demon who hid itself to a Human form and your Sister was her real daughter." Old man,
"You belong to a noble family who your father massacred when you were still a baby instead of killing you he noticed a mana was embedded into your body so he brainwashed you and raised you, for her daughter's benefit. That crystal at your right hand is a sign that you are a son of a great mage, The way your father died was also coincidence he already knew people outside were going to kill him since he was arrogant and never knew that the sword that struck him was a Holy sword. "Old man,
"After you fainted your sister was in an outraged and tried to retaliate but instead those guys got her first and sealed her powers before beheading her, those guys weren't your ordinary bandits they were assassins sent by the kingdom who were once a convicts. Those people at the kingdom discovered your father being a demon just a week ago and already planned for this things to happened." Old man,

"The way you smiled wasn't because you were crazy but because the emotions inside you knew what all happened, deep inside you the mana crystal has always knew what is happening until that fateful day happened, that mana crystal itself is limiting your power and well being. Now let me unseal it for you and have a feel with your true emotions!" Old man shouted,
I could feel my blood burning at the same time my skin felt cold, the view around me was spinning and I started to get dizzy but I could feel some memories opening up inside me I could see how my parents died as what my Mana crystal has saw slowly releasing all of my unseen memories. My father was a great Magician of the East, he was trying to research about the Ancient Arts and my real mother was kind and beautiful her eyes were ruby red, her skin was plain white she'd wear a beautiful dress that looked like from a princess. She was a daughter of a High noble and my father who is a magician was arranged to my mother.
After I was born my father made a crystal and planted it at my right hand that would serve as a evolving mana stone to which every year it would increase my mana pool it was the greatest invention my father have made. After 8 months while I was still a baby and a war broke out with the demons and got inside our house, my mana crystal indeed recorded everything even my father fighting with plenty of the demons I could even see the demon who raised me fighting with my father there were 12 High Ranked demons that attacked my father until he was unable to fight back anymore. At the same time my mother was dying for trying to fight back while protecting me.
At the last moment before my father died he casted some magic on me which was sealed into my mana crystal and it was this memory and the his rage towards those demons but not only limited to demons but also humans because he found out that those demons were sent by other nobles to getting rid of us. After remembering all what happened I am back to myself in the darkness and for some reason this burning sensation inside me doesn’t stop instead it got hotter and the way I am now is more calmer than I used to be, maybe this is the effect of the mana stone after being unsealed.
"If I choose darkness what will happen?"
"Ohh surprising I thought you would be those pussies choosing to be good and banishing all evils you are quite interesting boy" Old man while smirking,
"But choosing the darkness doesn't give you any happy endings in your life instead you'll encounter problems, hatred and a thorny path." Old man
"I don’t care about those risk, I just want those people that attacked my family will feel death as painful as possible, especially those filthy humans that dared to betray my father."
"Humans are really interesting...If so then I will grant you the power of darkness before you are reborn as a human who will govern the power of darkness, who do you want to be name as boy?" Old man
"Kaiser" I replied
"So be it! But remember Kaiser for there who governs darkness, there would be someone who governs light and will stop you" Old man.
