My whole body ached.
Perhaps it was because there was a sword inside me at this moment.
It had pierced through my heart.
I would soon bleed to death.
My hands were full of blood, my blood.
"Ahaha, how are you doing? It must hurt right?"
Leaning on a helpless wall I could perfectly recognise that figure.
The Demon King of Eternal Torture
A Constellation, like me had killed me shortly.
With a blatant grin of satisfaction plastered on his face that would get on anyone's nerves, he had killed me.
But not alone.
Next to him were all the other Constellations and all with a smile on their faces expressing a sense of superiority.
They were delighted at my death.
"You bastard, I'm so happy you're going to die! You filthy arrogant monster! King of the Astral Universe? my ass! what a vain title for someone like you!"
He was blatantly taunting me.
"Yes of course! one of the strongest Constellations ever! haha he's actually dying in front of me at my hands!"
This one defeating me alone? Give me a break, together with the other Constellations present at the assembly today they attacked me together and finally to give me the coup de grace he drove a sword through my heart.
"How does it feel to be killed by one's best sword? Astral?"
The pain was continuing to grow and the blood to come out more and more.
Astral, the name of my best sword, what a bastard to hold it against me!
"Little does it matter now, meanwhile you're going to die soon.
And this is my end?
Dying by treachery? None of the Constellations present were particularly fond of me but I didn't hate them, they killed me because of my strength?
Their wicked smiles were spreading.
I think this is the end for me....
Slowly I felt my body losing its energy, it was starting to turn cold.
Filled from head to toe with my own blood, my eyes were struggling to stay awake.
After that there was only one thing.
Absolute emptiness.
A reality made up of nothing but black, I felt a strange sense of unease.
Then I started to feel something.
Warm.
I was doing something that was familiar, but that I thought I would never be able to do again.
Opening my eyes.
Slowly I was opening them.
"Oh there you are darling! Welcome to the world!"
In front I could see a woman in her thirties, with long black hair.
Huh? Because I feel everything so...
I saw my hands, they were those of a baby.
Huh?
Huh?
Why the fuck are my hands those of a baby?
I was really confused, how was it possible? That I, a Constellation, had become a human baby?
But not even time to ask myself more questions that I realise I'm being watched.
"AHHHH! HOW CUTE YOU ARE!!!"
Later I became aware of the presence of another individual, he was male with brown hair and intense blue eyes.
"July don't shout so much, you're disturbing other people."
"BUT IT'S TOO CAREFUL!
"LOOK THE EYES ARE LIKE YOURS RAON AND THE HAIR IS LIKE MINE!"
"Let me see it better!"
He jerked towards me and immediately looked at me carefully.
He had a happy expression.
"AH HOW CUTE YOU ARE! WELL YOU ARE MY SON AFTER ALL!"
Geez, stop shouting you're making my ears explode.
Returning to my situation, I couldn't change what happened, I became a human infant.
I don't know how but I am.
I was looking around to see where I was.
Apparently, this could be said to be a birthing room.
I now had new parents.
Apparently July and Raon would be my new mum and dad.
This had a strange effect on me.
As I was looking closely at my new dad, I noticed something.
He was wearing a necklace.
A silver necklace depicting a symbol I had seen before.
Where had I seen it before...?
Ah!
The symbol of a well-known human family.
The Pegalions.
A well-known noble family known for various reasons.
Their coat of arms was a pegasus.
Why is he wearing that necklace?
I thought about it for a while, finally only one answer came to mind.
He was a Pegalion.
And I was his son.
I reincarnated as the son of one of the most powerful human families.
