Part One Powerless PrincelingThe month of Sia Day 1 Year 1 of the first Imperial calendar
The Hero pointed at Elector and accused angrily, “You have brought suffering and death. Your men raped, ensved, and sughtered. You are nothing but a blight, a demon, and your men are nothing but Bandits and thugs. Today, Justice has come for you. Sia will punish you in the afterlife?”
Elector responded mockingly, “My people have been ensved, raped, and sughtered in the past. Did you not do the same to the town of Ariel and Lucra.”
The hero was stumped by the accusation: “That was unsanctioned, and I put a stop to it quickly.” He said hastily, “Besides, that only happened because those towns cooperated with your acts of evil.”
“Yes, and I'm sure those babies were guilty of many sins, being only newborns.” Elector responded, “I only did all those things to protect my people from the same fate I have no responsibility to your people only to mine I’m the patriarch of dire and not the patriarch of the whole world but soon I will be. hero of light for today, I, the Demon King, have come to take your life.”
Chapter One Death and Rebirth The month of Noel Day 15 Year 675 of the second holy calendar
Oliver impatiently checked the watch on his phone yet again for easily the fifth time in the past 5 minutes but there was a reason he was so impatient. It was currently 8:29 pm. he was technically scheduled to be off 30 minutes ago from his job but unfortunately, the management asked him to stay an extra 30 minutes which according to company policy he was required to accept. He'd already been there 8 hours, eight and a half counting an unpaid break, and the only thing he wanted to do was go home.
The moment he checked his watch again it finally hit 8:30 so he quickly walked to the time clock. He was technically supposed to report to the management before leaving but they would ask him to stay even longer. If anyone asked why he didn't report to the management he would say they just didn't hear because they were on their phone it wouldn't have been the first time.
After clocking out he quickly shoved his earbuds in and heard the familiar robotic female voice telling him he was connected to his phone. He did this rgely so that no one would talk to him and the management would know that he'd already clocked out Without him having to say anything. He opened his bank account information and decided he didn't have the money to go anywhere so he just headed straight home. “Seriously College costs too much money even with schorships.” Sighing he thought to himself capitalism at its finest.
Coming up to a street Crossing he was forced to stop by the Light. The town he lived in was no major city so he wondered why these things even existed. There was a group of girls on the left side and on the right side was the street corner. The group of girls was the cssic example of living the Teenage life that he was not. A socially awkward person like Oliver naturally moved to the furthest end of the street corner. Their conversation was loud and obnoxious and he barely understood it as being a part of the same nguage so just as he was about to take out his phone and put on music for real. That was when he heard a Loud noise Screech And the st thing Oliver saw was a pair of headlights beaming towards him.
“Ow, the pain dam it hurts or does it What the heck is going on.” Oliver tried to Blink but failed to next, he tried to understand what was going on but also failed to. Oliver's eyes didn't work properly and all that surrounded him was gray. Oliver knew he'd been hit by a car or truck or something but he didn't feel any pain, he couldn't see either nor particurly move his body. He tried to call out words but all that came out was a strange scream. But after letting out a cry he felt something warm wipe his face before something soft was pressed against his mouth. A strange Instinct took over and he sucked on it. Something sweet entered his mouth and before long he was greedily drinking it not realizing how hungry he was until he started drinking. Within a short time or what felt like a short time anyway he was full and drifted off to sleep quickly afterwards.
The process of waking, sleeping, and eating continued for quite some time until Oliver understood what had happened to him. He had been reborn as a baby just like all of those novels he used to read on the internet. For some peculiar reason, this did not especially arm him although he was surprised by it. It was possibly due to the simple fact now that he was dead being reborn was better than what else could have happened. Oliver had been an agnostic and so he didn't particurly have any views on the afterlife, so this was better than it could have been. At the same time, it just felt natural Oliver decided to switch off his brain as having the mind of a college student in the body of a baby wasn't exactly logical,
However, another problem came with his Newfound self-awareness of the situation and that problem was his feeding times. Needless to say, he was currently being breastfed although his vision was still bad, he presumed that he was being breastfed by multiple women. Although he didn't know why it was Impossible that his mother had died in childbirth or was unable to breastfeed him for whatever reason. This itself wasn't the problem, the problem was the fact that he was being breastfed. The shame and embarrassment that came with this was immense, made worse by the fact that even after becoming self-aware he continued to instinctively drink whenever they put their nipples against his mouth.
After finally gaining control over his instincts Oliver went on a self-imposed hunger strike to prevent being breastfed and the embarrassment that came with it. Oliver could hear his friends from his previous life ughing at him for being a coward or a prude. They ughed at him the same way when he turned down a job at a strip club run by a friend of his to work at a grocery store instead. But sucking on the breasts of women even if it was purely for the act of feeding and he was currently in the body of a child with no sexual desire was still a bridge that the virgin the prude and the coward couldn't take. So, his hunger strike began.
Originally this caused panic to spread among his presumed caretakers whom he could finally see although he still didn't understand the words they said. This is probably a natural outcome of a child who went on a hunger strike for seemingly no reason. Eventually, they came up with a solution of soaking cotton strips in milk and then feeding that to him, which is what he wanted them to do from the beginning but couldn't properly convey to them. The fact that they didn't just start feeding him formu told him that he'd reincarnated into a world with more primitive technology. Although he had started to expect as much based on how people dressed and what little of the world he could see.
Also, on the subject of his pride and strange acts as a baby, having his diaper changed was a particurly humiliating experience whenever it happened. Also, thanks to having the mind of an adult he never cried nor particurly made baby-like noises, this sometimes made it hard to convey messages to people as he quickly found out. Babies generally cried when they needed their diapers changed or when they needed to drink milk, his inability to cry or more accurately his unwillingness to resulted in a ck of communication skills from his early years. Eventually, he did make up a system of making a loud noise that wasn't crying to convey his need for something.
After solving the basic needs of life Oliver quickly grew bored with his new existence. Being a baby although being able to sleep and eat as much as he wanted also meant he could do nothing else. Hardly being able to see or even move is not exactly ideal circumstances. In addition, Oliver was born in the 21st century where entertainment and variety of food were in abundance. But now cking all that entertainment or even the ability to move resulted in boredom. These days passed in a gray Haze of unconsciousness and consciousness being unaware of the time.
However, there was a break from this Haze that he presumed came daily with the visit of two individuals. It was a brown-haired young woman in her twenties in the other was a fellow child with bck hair and strange golden eyes. Such eyes were theoretically impossible but for some reason, this girl had them. The two were currently in the middle of such a visit and the bck-haired girl was currently being lifted to see into his cradle. We were currently engaged in the only activity that we generally engaged in staring at each other. For no reason, she found it fascinating to just stare at me and Oliver found it fascinating to stare into her golden eyes. They truly weren't Hazel or Amber they were truly just gold.
She reached into the cradle and poked his hand causing his hand to reflexively grip her finger. It was an unfortunate side effect of being a baby. The adults were probably disturbed by his general emotionlessness and as a result, had an extreme fondness for poking me. As for the girl she started babbling excitedly in a nguage Oliver didn't understand. “I'm sorry mysterious Lady of the Golden Eyes but this is just baby reflexes and not my actual desire.”
The brown-headed woman stroked the head of the girl with a gentle look in her eye she was probably this girl's retive. Judging by the way she looked at me she was probably his too. She looked a bit too young to be our mother. When she stopped stroking the girl's head she walked around to the other side of the cradle and poked her finger into his other hand. He reflexively grabbed her finger and she gave him another one of her Gentle Smiles.
Sighing inwardly he allows their excited murmuring in a foreign nguage to wash over him. Oliver decided to turn back to the bck-haired girl and resume staring into the mysterious golden eyes. They truly were a beautiful pair of eyes and so strange. He wondered if they had some sort of magical charm effect although he probably was just bored.
