Ch-44 : First tragedy

(2 years later)

In a small house, a child with silver hair and red blood eyes was sitting with his legs crossed, he had his eyes closed and was taking deep and heavy breaths.

Everytime, he sucked air and let each of his cells to experience bliss of oxygen...after that he would dispel all the carbon-dioxide and other waste material from his lungs.

Each time, he tried to fill each and every alveoli of lungs...he would expand his chest cavity and then his diaphragm.

The little child was Damien...and in past two years he had finally discovered that he was in the world of Demon Slayer!

Fuck!

Muzan Kibutsuji!

The 3rd rate Michael Jackson with weird blood fetishes!

Also that six-eyed upper moon one!

Fuck! Fuck!

He remembered each of 12 Kizukis and can't help but be cautious of their power levels.

As soon as he discovered the world, he started his breathing training...but he could only do basic exercises, his body can't support any physical or hard breathing exercises like - 'Total Breathing Concentration'.

Also, his past two years were the few of the happiest moments of his life...his adopted parents treats him extremely well.

His father comes home late after working in fields while his mother smoothly takes care of household chores.

Both of his parents would play with him at night...he finally experienced the bliss of parental love.

As for his parents, they were shocked at their child as he started walking only in 6 months and speaking in one and half years...actually Damien could speak and walk more early but he did not wanted his parents to go through more shock.

As for the knowledge of exercises...few people could contend Damien in this aspect, after all he had spent years of training and accumulating knowledge about all techniques.

(2 years later)

"Father! Mother!"

A child of 4 years old, came from outside covered in sweat as he jumps on the back of his father.

His father lifts him up and bring in front of him, he spanks his butt and says sharply but there was hidden love and care for his child,

"You are all sweaty, go and take a bath first!"

Damien wriggles under his father embrace as he left him and went to hug his mother who was cooking food right now.

"Mother! Father is not playing with me!"

His mother puts the lid on the bowl as she crouches and ruffles his silky silver hair, she smiles and says,

"I will scold your father...you quickly go and take a bath first."

Damien nods and left his parents as he went to take a shower.

After taking shower, all his family ate dinner together and then they went to sleep after playing with him.

In middle of night, Damien opens his eyes as he moves out of his bed, he come out of his house and go to bottom of the mountain near the river.

He then brandish a wooden sword and start slashing the air, he puts one of his foot forward and strike with all his muscle's strength.

He began counting, "1! hah~"

"2! hah~"

"3! hah~"

.

.

"101! hah!"

.

.

"499! hah~"

"500! hah~"

With that said, he falls on ground while taking deep breaths, his body was totally soaked in sweat while his arms muscles were twisting in pain under the skin.

Damien has never stopped training...even if it is painful...even if it is unbearable.

Many times he had the urge to just give up but then the smiles of his wives and their disheartened faces at the time of his leaving comes into his mind...he remembered his child's kick.

With his chest heaving up and down for more oxygen and his muscles aching all over the body, he stands up on his two feet even if they are shaking due to tiredness but he must stand up...he must slash sword!

After standing up, he jumps into the river and starts swimming, first he swims along the current but after some time, he starts to swim opposite the current which is far more taxing and strenuous for his body.

After swimming for around half an hour he pulls his body out of the river...he then sit down crossed leg at the side of shore...he had been coming at night for last half year now but he don't know why that today he felt reluctance in leaving the home.

But he just thought that he might be too tired so, that's why he had that urge but he still have some uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

In last 4 years there had been n demon attack near his area, he had only heard it from his parents and other people but he still hadn't seen any demon in the world but one thing is for sure that this world is truly Demon slayer world.

Because he found the wisteria tree at a secluded cave in mountain which he found by an accident...so, he thought that it might be case that there has been no demon sightings in this area.

Soon he shook his head and dispelled all these thoughts as he started practicing, 'Total Breathing Concentration'

His veins bulged near his forehead as the blood flowed vigorously inside his veins, his lungs expanded as he inhaled huge amounts of air, he held his breathing for some time and then released the air back.

He repeated this cycle continuously...this might look easy at first look but it is very difficult and painful to practice.

Moreover, his body is still of a 4 year old child and his bones hadn't developed much that's he hadn't increased the level of his training...and neither he had started practicing the sword forms.

At the moment, he is just practicing and training his body forms...he has been increasing his stamina, muscle strength, agility and dexterity...he is also trying to tone his reflex speed but he has been just following some basic steps for them.

The main training will be started at 6-8 years of age...till now his muscle and bone would be developed well to handle 'Limit Training'.

In 'Limit Training' the practitioner had to bypass his limit of body everytime to increase his level of body strength, agility and coordination...it is the most effective but the most hardest and painful method.

Very few people follow this type of training and more so only some of them are able to complete the training...it requires a huge amount of will power.

He will start practicing his sword forms only when he would surpass 10 years of age...cause in the sword forms each and every part of his body will come into play.

All his muscles must move into coordination if he wants to cut down the demons...actually Damien also had planned to start blacksmithing.

He had been collecting materials for past years and now he just requires the materials to forge.

Damien was still practicing with his full concentration but then suddenly a loud sound was heard.

*bang!*

Damien's eyes flew opened as a murderous glint passed through them, he quickly took a knife from his back and then started moving towards the sound.

Though his face was calm and composed but beneath it, he was very worried.

The sound actually came from his village!

He was like a slick leopard as he took big steps without making any sound...he was also trying to dispel air resistance in past years and even though it is still incomplete, but he was able to reduce it by good amount.

He moved like a blur without making any sound, soon he arrived near his village and he quickly went on treetop and sat down there.

But the scene in front of him made his mind go numb as he stabbed the knife into his thigh in utter sadness but he did not let out any cry of pain or groan.

His eyes quivered as two drops of tear fell from his eyes...this was the first time he had cried after being reincarnated.

He wanted to howl and shout his cries of agony but was unable to do so...blood trickled from his thighs but he does not care.

His heart was being stabbed continuously.

In front of him...his father's and mother's headless body was laid down.

He felt extreme anguish, he clutched his chest tightly with one hand and then bit his own arm with other to suppress his desire of cries because around 4 men were standing there with their swords brandished.

Yes men!

They were humans!

The irony of life!

His parents were ironically killed by their own kin!

Demons did not killed his parents and his fellow village members but rather they were humans!

But soon all his anger turned towards those 4 men who were smiling and chatting as if it was just a mere farce for them,

One of them said,

"Big brother, there were not young ladies...how boring!"

Another one said,

"You lustful beast shut up your mouth, big brother we were ordered to take a child of 4-6 years old , and as per the information there should have been a child of that age group but we found none."

The supposed big brother spit as he said as he pointed towards the headless corpses,

"Tch...these shitty people, this crazy bitch wanted to bite us to death and this fucker even brought a shovel to beat us"

"Hmph! we even said that we would leave them only if they told and gave us the small child...but motherfuckers did not told about anything!"

*swoosh*

In front of the big brother, his one subordinate who was smiling stood frozen...and suddenly his throat was cut open as blood sprayed and the person lifelessly dropped on the ground.

He was shocked but he quickly shouted,

"IN FORMATION! ENEMY!"

The other two men first wrinkled their brows but at the next moment they both looked each other in shock.

They pointed their shaking fingers at each other when they saw a clear cut sign on the blood of their brother.

Both of them dropped on ground in shock.

The big brother's eyes turned red as he found his precious brothers being killed one by one...they all grew up together from their childhood and considered each other as family.

He started howling in anger,

"COME OUT BASTARD!"

"You fucking coward! I will kill you!!"

He started scanning all the area with his eyes, and suddenly he saw a blur moving among the bushes, he howled as he lifted his longsword and leaped to the bushes,

"There you are!"

Damien had same emotionless face on him, his clear face now had sprays of blood and his eyes contained a deep hatred and resentment.

The big brother turned around and saw two blood red eyes staring at him from the height of his waist.

He felt his ends of hair stood up as his scalp turned numb, he did not know why he felt so much fear.

In middle of him being shocked in fear, a body shot from the tree as the person's cold eyes ingrained in big brother's eyes...his throat was cut open in front of him, his eyes still in indispensable fear and shock.

*thud*

Soon his body dropped on ground...and just then Damien also dropped on ground before saying,

"I have taken revenge for mother and father...though it doesn't change anything."

{A/N : This world is not going to be all flowery and easy...but one thing is certain that his women will not die, but this world is going to be more brutal and hard because in this Damien is not the strongest...though he would be in future.}
