As I wake up, I find myself surrounded by darkness. As I look around, I notice that I can see myself, which is odd because I shouldn't be able to. I shrug it off, but then I realize that there's a voice trying to communicate with me, but I can't hear it. Suddenly, light surrounds me, and I wake up in the arms of a random woman. It dawns on me that I've been reincarnated. I look up and see what appears to be my mother in this new world, but when I try to talk, I can't. I come to the realization that while my brain may be 15 years old, my body is that of a newborn. It looks like I'll have to learn the hard way.

*7 years later*

welp, I found out that there are demons in this world. i found out when my parents were brutally killed by a demon. i was almost eaten, but then this dude with a sword came in. he found me and decided that I should learn to fight these demons. i never caught his name, but he did teach me flame breathing, like Rengoku! ...oh. ... ANYWAY... I have been training for about 2 years, I have been splitting boulders left and right, I might train for another 8 years to be sure.
