When I woke up it was dark. I wondered where I was until I finally remembered what happened.
I must be in a womb, I guess. So that means that stupid god talked the truth, but why do I feel so different. I didn’t realize until then, but I remembered my wishes. Level System, True Nature Vision and Heightened Senses, I recalled. Let me try something out, I thought before trying to say something, when I realized I couldn’t open my mouth. Ok… So I guess babies in their mother’s womb can’t talk. Then I remembered what I read in Novels in my world. Maybe if I think about it, let me try.
I tried saying something in my mind, Status Window, I thought when it popped up.

So basically the stupid god gave me cheatlike abilities and the possibilities to level up.
Well, so I guess I’m gonna get bored until I get born.
A few months later it happened.
I felt a pull and minutes later I saw light shortly after. At first, I felt confused because it didn’t look like a hospital at all, but then I remembered that I was in a medieval world so I guess this WAS in fact a hospital, kinda. I looked around and saw something strange. I was in a rather small room. There was only one table and it looked, well, how should I explain it. It looked like a cube mixed with an ellipse. There were 5 people. From the looks of it there was a doctor, 2 nurses and apparently my new parents. One feature all of them had in common was the light purple skin.
The doctor was about 180 centimeters tall and a little bit chubby. The 2 small horns sticking out of his head were covered by his scarlet red hair. He was wearing large glasses which hid his eyes because of the reflection.
The nurses seemed to be twins. What was strange were their heights. Not because they were rather small or rather tall but because their heights were shifting with their breathing. When they breathed in they rose. When they breathed out they shrunk. Maybe some kind of magic spell? But aside from that they were really beautiful. They had ocean blue hair and a cute little nose. Their eyes were, besides the growth problem, another strange feature. The left nurse had a red left eye and a green right eye. The right nurse had a blue left eye and a brown right eye. Surprisingly they did not have any horns. So I guess not every demon has horns?
Next my eyes were shifting to my apparent father. The man looked rather muscular, he was about twice as big as the doctor. He smiled at me with his fang-containing mouth and his big blue eyes. Even though he was the definition of scary I didn’t feel scared at all. I didn’t feel like this man would harm me, all I felt was safety. Now I was sure that guy was definitely my father. With his grey short hair he looked at me and spoke something in a language I didn’t understand. I don’t know why but it made me happy. Is that what they call instincts.
Lastly I looked at my mother and what I saw made me the happiest human, oops, I mean demon on earth or whatever this world is called. I saw long blonde hair with a tint of crimson red at the end. A kind, caring smile filled my heart with warmth. They green eyes made me feel safe. Her mouth made me wanna talk with her all night.
For the first in a long time I felt like I had a real family. It made me wanna cry, well actually I made me cry. I cried like a baby while my mother embraced me with her warmth until I calmed down.
Besides that I felt something different, if not to say weird. What I felt was this body, I felt something flowing through my body that I never felt before. I guess from all the books I read, Anime I watched and games I played in my old life that the feeling was mana flowing through my body.
The next two years I learned to control the mana in my body to the point it just felt natural to me. Opening my status window did not show me anything new. Well, almost. One little thing changed.
[Status of Rinius]
* Level 2
* Health: 57
* Mana: 135
Yeah, instead of percentages it now showed me specific values for my health, even though I don’t know why it suddenly changed. When I looked a week ago it still showed me my stats as percentages, except that one strange thing happened in between. About two days ago I felt a surge of energy rushing through my body. I guess it was this occurrence that changed my Health and Mana to percentages.

I was living in a castle, it was pretty big, as for the size in m², I don’t know. Back then on earth I was really bad with measures. When I learned to walk I started playing with the castle’s maids a lot. And when my HP and MP started changing I was trying to control my Mana a lot more often. In fact, I was so used to the feeling of Mana that I managed to pull up some of the maid’s skirts with it. They blushed and told my father about it. One day he just came to me and told me something that made me giggle.
“Good job, son”
When I reached the age of 3 my dad walked up to me and told me I was going to get private lessons, so basically school. God, I hated school back on earth. I hated it so much that I often had problems with my parents and I even had to repeat a year because of how bad I was.
My teacher was called Miss Charina and she was very kind. She never yelled at me and always explained everything to me very carefully, even though sometimes I wasn’t interested in the lessons as much as I was interested in her but that doesn’t even matter. I mean, I, as a 3- year old couldn’t make a move on my teacher which was something around 25. I didn’t know her exact age, or rather I was too afraid to ask her, since asking a woman about her age is the same as going to the ghetto in New York as a white guy and yelling the N-word.
It was basically a death sentence, except that a demoness could be much scarier, I could tell from experience.
How, you may ask? Well, one day my father just threw one wrong eye on one of the maids in mom’s presence and the same night I couldn’t sleep as I heard strange noises coming from their bedroom. The next day dad was covered in bruises, scratchmarks and dirt. Apparently before being sent to sleep outside he was whipped and scratched to unrecognition.
At the age of 7 I started to control my mana even more precisely. I also got the hang of how the levelling system works. First of all, your level was basically nothing else than your age. Also, when I reached level 7 my status window once again changed When I opened it up it showed something different than last time.

There were 4 new stats opposed to last time. The stats were pretty self-explanatory. Asides from that my stats were a lot higher than the last time something changed in that window.
I think I also understood how my Skill points worked, it seems like I get a new skill point every time I level up and every time one of my stats gets another 150 points.
For the time I decided to not use up any of my skill points and wait until I really need them.
3 more years passed and the night before my 10th birthday came. The evening before that I repeated everything I learned about this world so far. I lived on the planet Earth (Yeah, that’s what they called this planet too) on the demon continent Rinia in the capital Brisson. This world is split in 4 continents, the demon continent Rinia, the human continent Hurona, the beast continent Raawwr and the dragon continent Dorawel. Rinia and Hurona were in war with each other, which caused some political difficulties with the other continent. All the continents were split by an ocean. According to my father on the ocean between the continents a new school opened, an academy named Puran. Academies were the names of schools where all the students from 10 years upwards go and learn advanced politics and fighting. My father is going to send me into Puran academy to learn all the important stuff and form political bonds to the humans to stop the war peacefully.
In the morning, I was woken up by my favourite maid Miretta. Miretta was a very, as I would call it back in my own world, Tsundere-type woman. That means she could be very lovely and sweet to me but most of the time she was angry at me for no reason, I mean, if lifting someone’s skirt up with magic is no good reason. She had long black hair and a great bosom.
She was actually not a demon but a human woman, whose parents died in the war. My father took her in when she was a little girl. As far as my father told me, at first, she was very resistant to anything my father offered her. She didn’t want to eat, because she thought the food could be poisoned. She didn’t want to sleep, because she thought she was going to get murdered while sleeping. She didn’t even want to go to the toilet, because she thought she might get abused by men. In the end, my father was able to get on her good side and care for her.
While she stood in front of me to wake me up I used a little bit of magic to cause a small, “accidental” wind gust from underneath.
“White, hmm?”, I whispered as I saw a hand flying towards me.
“What was that for?”
“Young Prince, you should maybe learn how to treat women”, she told me with her whole face red.
Anyways, with a red cheek I went into the dining room where my parents where already waiting for me.
My father looked at me, giggled and asked “Son, what happened to you?”
With a big grin I told him “Pure white, dad”
My father grinned back and did not see mothers Mana Whip coming.
“Honeycake, please don’t grow up to a pervert like your father” were her words to me.
“Well, anyways, Happy birthday my son, from today on, you are a man. In the next few weeks you will be sent to Puran academy and maybe you’ll even find a nice mate” my father told me.
“Oh my baby, I’m going to miss you so much” my mother told me while cutting off my air with her hugs.
After these speeches came the part I was most excited for, the presents.
I’ve always been anxious about presents, I loved them. But somehow there was no present this time.
“My boy, this year from me, you are going with me to the blacksmith and you will tell him, what kind of armor and sword you want. This year you are getting what will aid you for your whole life” my old man told me.
“As for my present, I will show you how to summon a familiar that will always stay by your side no matter what. It will be your closest comrade for life” mother told me.
Later that day I went to the blacksmith with father. I requested an enchanted armor, which will keep me cool, when it’s hot outside and warm, when it’s cold outside. An armor which could self-repair, which could provide me better breathing. As for the sword, I wanted a simple one, which would self-repair and not break easily. In about two weeks it should be done.
Later that day I sat down with my mother to learn how to summon a familiar. Apparently I need to sit down, concentrate and think of something very important to me. I did as told and suddenly there was a circle in the sky. The sky was covered in smoke and after a short explosion there was one strange thing I saw. Usually a familiar is some kind of beast or something like that but what I saw was different. I saw a girl…Tears swelled up in my eyes. I nearly burst out in tears.
The girl I saw was tall, blonde and had beautiful, green eyes. It was her, there was no mistake, god damn it, you no-good god. Not only did you take my life and transferred it here, now you also drag HER into this? Because I didn’t want to draw any suspicion, because my parents can not know about my old life.
“My, my I didn’t expect this” my mother told me.
“Not only did the familiar summoning circle explode, but you also only got a regular girl. Do you really want to keep her?”
“Mother, yes, I want to keep her with my whole heart, even though she is unconscious now. First things first, we should get her a bed to rest and wake up”
It was hard not telling my mother who she was, but she just looked at me, smiled and nodded. Is that what they call a mothers intuition?
In the evening, I was sitting by her side, waiting for her to wake up. Half an hour later it finally happened. She opened her eyes, even though she was very confused.
“Where am I? Last thing I remember is going to bed and having a strange dream, where I heard the voice of someone very important to me, telling me, we won’t ever see again.”
While she was saying this, tears rolled down her cheeks, so did they roll down my cheeks.
“Laura, it’s me, don’t you remember me?” I asked.
Her answer just confused me.
“I’m sorry sister, I’ve never seen you in my life”
Sister? But I was obviously a boy. I went to the bathroom and looked in my mirror.
The next thing I remember is screaming louder than I ever did in my life.
