Chereads / The Demon God's Reincarnation : Odyssey Of Vengeance / Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5 : Awakening Test

Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5 : Awakening Test

Few more months passed and Damian began acknowledging his existence as a human, for some reason he couldn't remember his life as a demon but he knew he was one and could feel demonic energy coursing through his veins.

But on the bright side he found out that he could still enhance his senses to a demonic perspective although it was still on a baby level, at least he could see through the walls around his house.

Could smell some things he didn't yet know from a far distance which was still in the proximity of his house, his hearing was on a whole other level and he could differentiate each and every member of the house hold by the sound of their footsteps and heart beat.

Tasting wasn't exempted but it was to weird to explain, as enhanced senses was a blessing it was also a great curse, since he was a defenseless child that could do nothing whenever he excreted waste on himself it made him very uncomfortable and sometimes when it had taken longer to notice his diaper was full he could feel urine sipping back into his skin.

Well that was all…, and also he was the third child, the first a male who was fond of him and tried to tickle him each time he came to his room, then a girl who did nothing but engage in a staring contest with Damian although his eyes were sealed shut.

Few months passed and he could crawl and was finally let out of his crib to wander around the huge mansion, as time passed his parents grew weary as he couldn't open his eyes what they didn't know was that he could but just didn't want to.

This made him get more restricted as they feared he would hurt himself or fall off a flight of stairs, yet he still managed to prove to them that he could see but they still wandered if it was coincidental.

He destroyed anything destroyable in his path, even those that shocked his family on how he did it, days turned to and months to a year and soon Damian was chasing two years, his knowledge of this world increased in bounds as his mother usually read bedtime stories for him and his older siblings.

His father was a full time swordsman explorer and businessman going by the name Harold Zack, so when Damian was three years old his father got him a sword, it was an stainless steel metal sword with a wooden hilt, and it wasn't to sharp.

His mother Scarlet Zack disagreed with this birthday gift as she aspired for Damian to become a magus, his father bought him that because Damian was very intelligent and naturally stronger than children his age so this could make him a great swordsman.

Once a child is five he/she could test on the opening of his/her mana pathway which was like a network of evolved veins no longer transporting blood but mana to the brain instead of the heart.

Vivian and Quinn had opened their pathways, Quinn was a Ki pathway which meant he was a swordsman as swordsmen used Ki instead of mana, Vivian was a purple tier mana awakener which meant her talent would be amongst the pinnacle in her prime.

Meanwhile Damian didn't even want mana or Ki he needed his demonic aether, but he didn't have that yet and lost all his memories of his past life as a demon and nearly forgot all his demon techniques except for the first six he was born with, those techniques were equivalent to his arms and organs.

He will just wait until he fully masters his human body which was phase one of his revenge plan even if he couldn't unlock aether he would still use his technique and draw from Pazifa to grow stronger infinitely.

He started attending a human school at three, he had to be dyed black and blindfolded everyday as he went to a regular kindergarten with normal children in the town which they lived in, the school was worried if he would learn without seeing but surprisingly enough he suppassed his mates by a far margin.

Like the flash of lightning he was celebrating his fifth birthday and would be finally allowed to go out on his own but today he would is going for his awakening ceremony, which will determine whether he becomes a knight or a mage.

Deep down he didn't care and stayed still till they got him dressed and his mother placed him in their carriage before their driver took them to the Magic Affiliation Testing center, numerous people of different races pedestrianized about, they were Elves, beastkins and dwarves, giants etc.

Damian didn't know that this world would have such diverse races for mere mortals, all the races he had come across all looked the same, but lacked free will apart from gods and higher existences, his mother then explained that this was one of the only places were mixed races existed in the world.

How will he know such information when he was locked inside 24/7, well at least he was now mature enough to make some friends and run around the village, but his family highly doubt his making of friends as he rarely talked.

The village was quite beautiful and tranquil with trees everywhere and in the middle was the large village hall which was also the testing ground, Damian and his mother got down from their carriage and Damian was registered as no 669.

They got into the hall which was like a cinema with sets of chairs above others, it was almost filled with people, Damian and his mother had to look for a spot to sit and everyone had their eyes on Damian wondering why he was blindfolded.

Then they sat quietly waiting for their turn, Damian noticed one thing and that was it wasn't easy to open the pathway out of maybe a thousand and three hundred children that were there only two hundred will open it with the way more children were failing.

So if he failed it wouldn't be a big deal, tears and wailing filled everywhere as children's dreams were shattered into a thousand pieces, " No 669 come out for testing " the grand magus on the podium announced.

Damian got down from his sit and walked to the podium besides it was a stool with a shiny transparent orb, " Place your hand on the orb and wait " the old man said to him and he did just that.

A few minutes passed and nothing happened but as he was about to lift his hand the orb start to glow with a faint reddish hue, just for it to grow brighter and brighter till it affecting the eyes of those in front.

Golden lines and runic designs appeared allover his body, moment later the orb dimmed and melted into Damian's hands the golden lines also disappeared leaving the impression that it was never there and people wouldn't see it now as the light was to bright for them to see through at the initial time.

" Arghhh, a curse, his cursed, a CURSE " the old man screamed as he fell butt first to the ground, Damian just started at the man in amusement for once in his five years in this planet a smirk appeared on his face.

His mother teleported to his side at the speed of light which amazed Damian at how fast she was, she grabbed him by the hand and lead him out, " How can this be she has two children with high talents and a cursed child " someone said.

" Her and her husband are so humble and kind they saved this village trice and are rumored to have worked for the empire but to give birth to a curse that's bad ",another added, Damian heard every thing although they had crossed a long distance to their carriage due to his enhanced senses.

They got into their carriage and their driver took off, His mother remained quiet and looked out the window letting the breeze blow her hair as she kept a quiet sad demeanor.

* SIGH *, Damian sighed as he looked out the window a little upset that he disappointed his mom when something strange happened.
