The world changing rapidly the human empire continues to dominate all of the regions in the Nexus. They already conquered the Stout Region and demon region and now they are attacking the small town of elves. But they didn't know that the Demon king was reborn.
In a remote village in the far eastern region of Rafrug, there was a couple happily celebrating the birth of their first child.
The child slowly opened his eyes then saw the two demons seems so very happy opening his eyes.
"Look! Our baby has sparkling red eyes like yours Reg"
[Where am I?...]
"What should we call him?"
"Hmmmmm"
[Wait, I remembered...]
"Lucio? What do you think?"
[The heroes defeated me back then and then I used my Rebirth]
"That is really good, now your name is Lucio"
"Our hope and dreams"
[This is why I am an infant]
[I really need to be regain power to save my kin]
But first I really need to have information right now
Lucio perspective:
[Few days later, I already gained some information about my new life. Because of this frail body I can get information outside this house.]
[My father was an Ex-soldier for of the demon army but after the demon king death he was force to be a laborer govern by the humans and his name is Reg Zalburg]
[My mother is a just a normal demon then she met my father and she really loves me, I can't even escape from his grasp and her name was Anri Zalburg]
[Every week there were humans, it look like knights, coming to this village asking money to every person including my Family.]
[I saw every time human go to our village my mother was really frighten. Her whole body was really shaking and I felt really bad for her.]
[My father is the only one that confront that people giving money that they earn from their hardship. ]
[Just wait, I will come back and end this nonstop misery made by this lowly-humans.]
Almost half a year passed, Lucio seems gaining more information about the world. He already knew that humans already taken over almost 3/4 of the world. Because of the absence of the heroes of each region, except humans, the dominance of the humanity really shown.
But Lucio couldn't anything because of his body was too young to open a mana pool. So he endured pain, seeing his kin tortured every time human came in this village, and humiliation made by the humans
But after 3 years exactly on his Birthday, the most waited day for Lucio had come. The day where his Mana started to grow.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCIO"
A small dinner with just a meat, sweets, and glass of water on the table. But Lucio really happy seeing this scenery.
[I almost forgot this kind of feeling, the feeling of enjoying little things with my beloved people in my life.]
"Thankyou! Mother and Father for this wonderful dinner that you made for me." Lucio said with a bright smile
His father nodded then grab him and his mother. He hugged them really tightly with a smile on his face.
"I was really happy having you two in my life"
"You Lucio and your mother, was the only one that made me strong in past years" his father said while happily crying"
His mother started to cry and hugged Lucio too.
[It seems they endured a lot pain and tried to hide it from me. What a strong individuals raising me right now]
And they enjoyed the evening with a smile on their face.
Early morning, Lucio already started his training, he hid to his mother after his father go to his work. He started to meditate starting to feel the mana flowing to his body and his surroundings.
(Every race in the Nexus have their very own mana flow,
The Stout have a good affinity on Earth,
The Elves have good affinity on all Elements expect Darkness,
The Human have a good affinity on Basic elements,
The angels have a good affinity on Holy.
The demons have a good affinity on darkness. )
It was a pure darkness, you can't feel anything but you will notice the gracious silent within and because of that you will attain peace of mind.
Lucio felt the overwhelming pressure gave by the mana surrounds him but he was aware that it won't be easy, so everyday Lucio started to meditate to regain his a little bit of his mana from his prime. Collecting all the mana fragments around him and focusing to his chest.
"Urghhh"
Unexplainable pain came from his chest but Lucio started to felt something familiar;
[I started to feel my a little bit of my mana again, I just need a more time]
Anri realized that Lucio wasn't around so she hastily search all over their house where Lucio is, checking all corners to make sure Lucio wasn't there but she didn't see at all until She checked the their backyard and saw Lucio sitting underneath a tree.
Anri was sure that his son is not an ordinary child at all, she knew because from the past years Lucio cried just once, the time he cried was the time when he was born, and that was unnatural. And when they spoke with him he seems like an adult, no baby talks.
When she saw Lucio, she quickly grab her and said;
"Honey, I was so worried, I thought you are gone now. Please if you need to go somewhere tell me" with a teary eyes looking at Lucio's eyes
Lucio respond;
"I'm sorry mom" are the only words he just said after seeing his mom eyes with full of worries.
