Chapter 2
Malivus had been in this world for three months already. When he was one month old, his parents already noticed that he was no ordinary child. He was talking fluently and was already able to walk. He wouldn’t play like the other newborns. Rather, he would hole himself up in his room with the tiny amount of books that his house had. Malivus did not have much access to books due to the fact that his parents were both commoners. His "mother", Relisa, was a silver Human ranked magician warrior, this was already stronger than most of the other villagers. Malivus’s “father”, apparently named Zavon, was a bronze Gifted ranked magician warrior. He often trained the villagers on how to defend themselves if an attack occurs. He also trained the children in the village, encouraging them to soar to powers far beyond his own. Relisa was constantly resting because of her unborn daughter while Zavon was always training villagers and children to fight due to the increased amount of monster attacks that have been happening around the general vicinity. Malivus was not interested in the everyday doings of either of them and kept studying what the world was like. He learned he was born in the small village of Achernon in the province of Kirewen which was under the jurisdiction of the Sect of Light, a sect who practiced light magic and believed themselves to be extremely righteous.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, Malivus was already three months old. Winter was coming and the villagers soon had to stock up on meat and other resources before winter arrives and robs them of their chance to restock on resources. One day, the men decided to go out in order to hunt for some meat before fall’s end. They would not be back for two weeks so they decided to leave two men to guard the village while they were away. While the men were in the middle of their hunting trip, and the villagers in the middle of their work, a voice shouted out; “Bandits!” Panic quickly ensued within the village, with villagers running in all directions trying to get back to their houses to get their children before fleeing. However, to their dismay, they had been surrounded by the bandits with nowhere to run. Many villagers prayed that the Sect of Light would quickly come save them. Others closed their eyes and awaited their death sentence. One bandit came up and saw Malivus’s mother, Relisa. His eyes flashed as he said; “Hey, baby. You’re pretty cute, wanna come with me? I’ll take good care of you.” He grabbed her wrist and attempted to drag her away. As Relisa screamed, the bandits laughed. The one who grabbed her laughed and said, “We’re gonna have a fine, fine night.” Then he turned around and said to the villagers; “You can live if you give us all your stuff.” It was at that moment that Malivus, now known as Ruvreus, waddled out from the crowd. Three month of Ruvreus spoke; “Give me back my mother or you’ll regret it.” The entire bandit company laughed while the villagers were saddened, they knew that the bandits wouldn’t spare Ruvreus, a mere child, after he had said such things.

The bandit who took Relisa said; “Haha, you little runt, what are you gonna do to me? You gonna make me laugh to death?” He tilted his head back and laughed. All the bandits laughed. And laughed. And laughed. Until that bandit’s head flew off.

I know. I know. You probably think this chapter is too short. But think about it like this... if I have shorter chapters, you can be reading while I'm writing. Much more efficient. :D
