Demon Tale

However, despite them being born like normal children, their most notable features were having two to three pairs of eyes, grey hairs and an ouroboros demon mark hidden

within their bodies.

At first, when Tobi knew of this, he was flabbergasted he didn't known how he should react about this. No one knew what he was thinking, nor what was on his mind.

No matter, how Tobi thought about his situation it was hard for him to understand it. Nevertheless, Christopher and Christy couldn't wait any longer, so on this particular day in the morning.

After sending Tim to manage the farm ranch, Christopher thought it was the perfect moment to, unfortunately, allow their children to know about the reason for their harsh and absurd reality.

This was after a lot of thoughts and deep long discussions, the couple felt their children deserved to know the truth, after all besides the fact they were quickly growing up into adults, their plans to escape the hell hole of a village depended on it.

Even though they still felt it wasn't the right moment to finally let them know about the truth, no matter how hard they tried they couldn't postpone it any further than this, it wasn't just about their own lives most importantly it had to do with their children, who were already in harm's way.

They had also decided, to explain to them the real truth about their first son, who had mysteriously passed away. After they were done telling them, what happened to their first son and why Tobi was being referred to as a Demon Child.

It was finally time to disclose, the true tale, myth, and legend of what brought about the sudden, appearance of Demon children who were the sworn destroyers of humanity as a whole.

This was a true-life tale and obscure secret, about the first appearance of Demon children. While some people thought the first incarnate of a Demon child, was birth through the womb of a woman.

In fact, contrary to what most people believe to be an assumption of the truth, were rather lies and rumors. The first appearance of a Demon Child could be said to be a bit unbelievable.

[The tale of a demon child begins, hope you enjoy it.]

"Didn't papa say a meteor shower signifies the fall of a powerful treasure…?" Levi said, with a childish smile that slowly crept up his excited expression.

"Though I barely even know what it represents or if it is even real, but papa once said it brings good fortune. This means such a great opportunity is definitely hard to come by!

"I bet in no time at all, this area will be crowded with various people, even gold men with merchandise. I have to be the first to get the good stuff… who knows, I might even get the opportunity to walk the path of a merchant and become a respected noble, and then family would be proud of Levi!"

From the perspective of Levi and what his papa had told him if he was even a bit slow those merchants who passed by his village once in a while, with loads of big cargoes would surely be amazed and find this place of his.

Even though they were extremely rich, he felt they were a bit greedy. The knights nearby were even more and more of a big deal.

"What if it is a legendary artifact?…" Levi's eyes seemed to be sparkling from the clusters of starlight, as he inwardly thought to himself, subconsciously saliva couldn't help drool from the corner of his mouth.

"If I remember correctly, those wandering soldiers always talk about these in their tales right? While the heroes were young, they'll pick up some treasure of some sort by chance and thus walk the path of destiny. That's so damn cool…"

No matter how Levi thought of it, his excitement grew rather quickly especially with his reverence towards heroes and knights, he could barely hide his delight, and soon enough after a few seconds of deep analysis and thought he decided to muster all his courage and enter the dense forest, in search of the meteor that was possibly a treasure.

Within the dense forest filled with tall trees, the mild cold wind slowly blew patches of dried yellow grasses that slightly covered a rusty and mottled broken sword that seemed to have been buried there for years. It was concealed by the moist soil of the tropic forest.

Weirdly threads of dark red luster slightly flashed on the blade of the sword, revealing its rusty marooned-colored edges.

The forest kept on rustling for a while, with sets of loud and rushed footsteps, following which, a boy with a head filled with curly black hair made his way from the tall trees and rough grasses of the forest.

He wore linen clothing that looked tattered and had traces of being mended on various sides, which inferred his family's poor situation.

Within the trees of the forest cast a huge shadow to the atmosphere, on a particularly large tree a few meters high a dark figure hid over as it seemed to be observing something silently.

The Clouds of shadows from the forest trees concealed its existence to the point, not even his silhouette would be spotted, even if the whole forest was leveled down.

Its eyes which glinted red in an eerie sanguine red, looked down at the slow-running figure of Levi.

"Ohh I caught a prey? My..My...By his appearance, it seemed to be the first to have caught the traces of that thing, he should be a child from the village nearby.

"Oh… I could make use of him, nevertheless. It's should not be too bad to gather children on the lowest level of the social hierarchy and the format of their organizations, if his majesty experiments become a success."

The male voice said, with a whisper as though expecting a reply that never came.
