James slept for the rest of the day happily.
Once he had woken up it was already around noon. He got up and went outside. Walking up to a patch of grass and crouched down activating Mana Blade. He lowered his hand and it went right threw the dirt effortlessly. 'ok step 1 check, let's try something stronger.' James stood up and walked over to a tree trying to push the mana blade into it. As he applied pressure it started to cut into it but only barley with a lot of resistance.
'Ok so It's not too sharp yet, but if I practice enough it should get better...I shall now claim this tree as my training tree.' all day he stood there slashing at the side of the tree with very little scratches going into the bark but nothing too deep.
*bing*
*Mana blade has reached lvl 2 and therefore its efficiency, as well as sharpness, rises slightly*
He tries one more time but this time it digs about a 1/2 inch into the tree. thought this did very little as it was at least 12 ft. thick, it was an improvement.
He sat there for a moment next to the tree as his mana was drained causing his body to feel tired. ' well that was pretty good.' His mana flow started to regulate itself again and it made his body cool off. He still felt tired even with it starting to re-charge.
*bing*
*mana manipulation has reached lvl 3, making hosts control much better than before, and using less energy to move it*
'great...' James passes out cold on the grass.
After an hour passed James sat up half asleep and stretches. Starring out at the lands he thought about how he's lived until now. 'Maybe I should interact with people....' James considered this deeply before going inside and approaching his father.
"Dad"
"Yes?" He looked over from his desk and put down a pen. 'I might as well ask this now.'
"Can I go and live in the human realm?"
"Why"
"well, it's less dangerous for me right? Also I can make a lot of friends without anyone having to worry right?"
".." Lucifer was caught off guard by this statement. He never saw James think in this detail of things as he usually was too lazy to go do anything with people. But mainly that he brought up a few good points, James would be able to live semi-peacefully for at least a bit until he was older, and this would spare the family time to work on their affairs. " I'll think about it"
"Thanks dad" James responded with a cute smile. Then ran back to his room and cultivating in his room all night as he had already rested and wasn't tired. Morning came with what felt like no time at all. James's small body had changed slightly. His body had a little bit of definition to his muscles but not a lot, however he could feel as his body was much lighter and comfortable. 'stats'
*Bing*
[James Morningstar]
[stats:
lvl:1
Hp:100/100
Str:100
Dex:50
agl:30
Mp:110
Luk:60
James sat there starring at his stats for a moment. 'I think my stats should be fine now for awhile. now I need to worry about skills, and living an actual social life...'
Four and a half years pass. James was now seven. Nothing to important happened during this time period, at least to James perspective. He didn't really know much about the kingdoms situation. Or really anything to do with the political side of things. He mostly spent his time talking with Tom. They had grown to be good friends at the time. He also got a lot taller now. Still tall for his age, but not giant or anything. At his seventh birthday party, a lot of people had come and wanted to see him. Mostly noble demons of the kingdom, and rich people. However James's didn't really have much interest in this.
Although there were gifts and such, none of it was something that interested him. One noble demons daughter had came to him though with a small pastry. Her father had red skin, with red horns. He also had four draconic looking wings. He also had brown eyes. The daughter was very kind to James. She had red horns, and soft red skin. Her eyes were like a golden amber color, similar to his moms golden eyes. The pastry was really sweet and soft. He thanked her for the gift. He noticed her father approached his dad and mom at a table, and sat down with them. He decided not to ask too much for now. There were other girls who tried to approach him as well. Some did similar things, but none of them really caught his eye much. His father had told him that a lot of girls would want to peruse him, and events like these were prime for nobles to try and get their daughters to talk to them.
After the event James went and ran around outside with Tom and ran around in the fields. The workers just watched them or ignored them and continued to work. Latter that night when James was laying in bed he was thinking. That girl intrigued him. He wasn't confirmed on wanting to date her at the moment. However he was interested at the very least about her. In the past he's seen many races who were resident to Hell's realm. But she seemed different, he thought she was cute, but he guessed that he just really liked the pastry plus, she seemed very genuine to him. While the half of the others seemed to force it, and the half that didn't force it, just didn't appeal to him, nor did they tend to give him anything special. They were usually expensive things, but nothing that seemed very from the heart. James passed out not too long after this.
His door opened and James looked over across his room, his eyes were still blurry due to just waking up. "Hello?"
"I'll let you go there"
"Huh.." James sat there until ice-cold water splashed his face and he fell off his bed.
"What the hell"
"You up now?
"Yes.."
"Ok get your stuff together, you'll be leaving to the Mortal realm."
"K " James Immediately got up and packed his stuff which wasn't too much he wanted to take with him. He grabbed a few shirts, some pants, his red hoodie. Putting them all in a bag then going into the main hall. After being greeted by a maid, he was informed that he'd be living with a human family who would believe that James was their kid's brother. James didn't comment on this but it also didn't bother him.
He was then quickly teleported to the human house after walking through a gate made by the maid with her magic. James looked around the room he was in currently, it was probably about 30 ft by 30 so it was big and it had two beds in the room, one of which had a kid sleeping in it. James walked over to the empty bed on the other side of the room, 'ok so I guess this will be my half of the room.' Putting his stuff in his bureau and then laying in his bed thinking about how he will now get to live a life with a family but also have a brother that he will get to meet. He was excited as you could expect of a kid who's been told they have a new sibling.
James wondered what the future will be like for him in his new life.
