My little sister...
The day I finished training with elite knights at the age of nine and visited my mother afterward, I unexpectedly learned from her that I might soon have a younger brother or sister. It is difficult to determine, but they can say for sure that the child will be alone, thanks to magic or some other alchemical thing. Personally, this news was joyful for me, because for the first time I will have a brother or sister, since I myself did not have any in the past.
And six months have passed since that moment, during which time my mother began to show quite normal signs of pregnancy. Because of this, she became more short—tempered and irritable in character, but this did not affect me and my father much, but the poor servants and others did. In general, the closer the days of childbirth were, the hot-tempered my mother became.
Because of this, teachers in this field took up my lessons in the library, so as not to slow down my mental growth.
As for my growth in physical terms, he grew by leaps and bounds after long and grueling training with his father and Elite demon Knights.
Meanwhile, my timer for the quest "I am a genius!" reminded me every month that I have less and less time. Therefore, I began to increase the level of training, deciding to conduct the most difficult sparring with two Elite demon knights.
Of course, they were not going to fight to the death with me, but only increased the pressure in the fight at my personal request.
When the fight itself began, the first thing I did, quickly began to reduce the distance between us in order to try to be the first to inflict at least some damage.
-*Ding*-
But my sword strike was repelled by another, after which I quickly began to break the distance with the first, defending myself from another knight. I quickly pulled out the spare blade and stopped the second blow to my left side.
-*Ding*-
-*Clang*-
I tried to separate them by the distance I needed, but it is extremely difficult to do in a specific situation. So I decided to take a risk.
-*Clang*-
I took advantage of a rare opportunity and jumped through the knight's block, but his armor completely protected me from my sudden and high-speed strike. At the same time, I quickly dodged the knight's sudden attack from behind me.
Then I began to fight with one with swords in order to increase my level of fencing, while the second knight helped the first a little with sharp attacks, which strained me, but helped to improve my fighting sense and vision during the fight. Of course I got a couple of cuts, but I was ordered not to stop because of this and continue until I ordered it myself.
But all this eventually ended up with an obvious result for me — a loss. But thanks to my perseverance and striving to exceed my limit during the battle, I was able to achieve the final jump to complete the quest:
___________________________
Quest: I'm a genius!
Description: Reach level 20 in 2 years. Show all the demons that you are a genius like your father. Do not disgrace the great name of your father and your mother.

The penalty for failure is a reduction of all characteristics by 35%, with a period of 5 years.
Completed!
___________________________
At that very moment, my breathing stopped for a moment because of the feelings that overwhelmed me, which did not affect my health badly, but fortunately demons are resistant to such things. Therefore, at first I just lay there and tried to rest after a hard sparring, giving two Elite knights a rest.
During my vacation, I received news from Niva:
-[Host, there has been a system update!]-
- (What?! No, stop! What kind of update?) I mentally asked Niva, trying to contain my excitement. After all, this is the first update since my birth in this world.
-[The system was able to update itself and add to your access to such functions as: map, marker, beacon, language translation. A message was also received from &^#@^? *".] — explained Niva.
- (So let's see. The map will always be useful. Markers too. The beacon will also be useful, I can now find people if I lose them. Translation is also useful by the way, otherwise I just learned the demonic language, dark Elf, human, fallen angels, vampire, etc. And so now I can talk to everyone without difficulty. And what is this message?) I mentally asked Niva.
-[A message from the creature that gave you the starter pack.] - Niva reminded me.
- (Oh, right. I couldn't understand these symbols then, so I didn't recognize them. Please open the message. I want to read.) — I asked Niva.
-[As you wish, Master.] — Niva replied and a text appeared in front of my eyes in a special message window.

Message from &^#@^? *»:
[Hello, Rainer or Meliodas? Well, probably there is no difference already. So I can get right to the point. I am writing this message to you in order to tell you a couple of news that I personally cannot tell you.
The first news is that I am the one responsible for the fact that you are in this situation with a problem in the shower. I'm sorry, it was very difficult to fix, or rather problematic for me. You were able to compensate for this problem, so you don't have to be very offended or angry.
The second news is that this world in which you are now was created by my acquaintance, a close friend, at my personal request. As an arrogant and arrogant person, I decided to find out your hidden desires and fulfill a couple of them in this world so that you wouldn't hold a grudge against me. This is also so that my conscience calms down and some problematic personalities get behind me on this issue.
The third news is that, as your system or the Field has probably already reported, I am personally responsible for the "special /special" quests, well, there are a couple more irrelevant details related to voting and complexity measures, but that's not about it now.
You probably want to ask, what exactly did I do? This question will be answered soon, it's just that you haven't been lucky enough to meet "this" in person yet. And this is the last message, then I don't bother or help you anymore. And if you want to know who I am? You first need to get level 200 and the limiter in my name will be removed in the Field. So I'm done. Bye and good luck, you'll need it, trust me.
P.S. My friend lives in your world and maybe you know him because of a popular game. I hope you won't be afraid of the one who helped create this crazy, but beautiful and unusual new world.]
___________________________
I just stared blankly at the text for a couple of minutes, realizing all of the above. For such mistakes, of course, we must take revenge! But if you weigh everything up and accept his apology at face value, then it is forgivable. And I'm quite happy with my new life, so I can forgive him. Of course, it's interesting to find out his name, but so far it's not too important for the first time. But now it's better to continue building up your strength.
And literally on the eve of my birthday, I was able to raise my level and other skills in the status:

For my young age, a very good result.
And in the meantime, I checked the capabilities of the "inventory" function, where I can put anything, but only inanimate and what I touch with my own hands. And at the same time, it is very difficult and almost impossible to store things that are not too big because of some limitation.
I downloaded the inventory myself so that I could use its contents if necessary. Having filled my inventory: x10 mana stones, x10 swords, x7 spears, x70 books (everything from magic to cooking.), x8 clothes, x30 potions, etc.
I also found out that the book of magic [ur1-10] from the gift package, I don't need it yet. As practice and experience have shown, spells and all sorts of charms are given to me with very hard work. It is impossible to say exactly what this is connected with, because my father assumes that I simply do not have the talent and predisposition in this. But that doesn't explain why in the process I feel a slight pain from the simplest spell, trying to shape the mana.
Niva also does not know what this is connected with, because the system is not fully functioning yet and is not able to do an analysis of my body to understand what the problem is. Therefore, it remains to wait and devote yourself to the sword and strengthen the body.
And in the meantime, I began to think about how I would train in the future with my abilities of a Higher Demon, which include mastering hellfire and dark matter. It will be difficult to do this without attracting attention. Therefore, I should find a secluded place from prying eyes and ears. And the most suitable for this role is the Purgatory dimension, which I can get into with a spell through a gift bag. But in the meantime, I need to get ready to ship.
In the meantime, right now, my father and I were waiting outside the doors of my mother's room, where the birth was carried out.Yes, this day has come, my Father has already prepared a festive ball with a bunch of guests ready to congratulate him and celebrate this day, but also to negotiate with influential personalities.
While waiting, I carefully observed my surroundings and, in particular, my father and his behavior. By doing this, I was trying to gain a greater understanding of his behavior. Previously, due to rare meetings, I could hardly understand what emotions and feelings he was trying to show or convey.
But the longer I look at my father, the more I begin to notice certain details in his attitude to this situation. I can't say for sure, but most likely now he is worried and worried about the condition of the mother and child. I can understand him perfectly, he taught me himself to be always ready and expect the most unexpected and worst result that can happen to you in this life.
Therefore, I have a potion of treatment [ur8] ready, which, according to Niva, at this level, it is quite capable of bringing back to life, but provided that the damage is not too critical for the body and soul, well, and other small factors, like curses or seals.
Sometimes my father and I heard strong sighs and aahs, as well as mana emissions, from which I, and perhaps my father, began to worry even more, but we kept ourselves in hand.
And after half an hour, everything went quiet. After that, the door to Mom's bedroom was opened and a maid with green hair came out to immediately bow and inform us:
— Your Majesty and Highness, the birth has been successfully completed. The lady asks you to come in. She said in a respectful manner, bowing again and moving away from the entrance to the room.
As soon as we entered, I could see how on the same bed where ten years ago I was lying in the same warm arms, my Mother was lying in an embrace with another child. The father reached the end without breaking stride and stood by the mother's bed.
— Congratulations, dear, on a successful birth. I'm very glad that you and the baby are all right. I know it's too early to ask this when you're tired, but still, I would like to know what sex the child is? And what name will we choose for him? My Father asked, in a slightly agitated voice that I could rarely hear from him.
— Thank you, dear, I'm fine. And it's a girl. As for the name, before that it was difficult for me to choose, there were so many options, but then after giving birth, the perfect name suddenly came to me. Mom explained.
— And what is it?
"Well... what about Greifia?" In the ancient demonic "Grey" - white snow, and "fiya" — beauty. The "snow-white beauty" comes out.
— And why exactly such a name? — the father specified.
— Because I believe that she will become a real beauty for me and in her I felt a strange snow-white response of mana, which gave me this idea. Yes, and a small bunch of snow-white hair prompted. Mom explained with a smile.
"Then that's a good name. It will well symbolize the beauty of our family and blood. My father said with the same smile.
When I heard my sister's name, a very familiar image of a character from an anime immediately came to me… but after all... no, no.... It's probably a coincidence, but what if... we need to make sure of it.
To do this, I went closer to my mother's bed.
— Mom, can I take a look at my little sister? I asked innocently.
"Of course, my little devil.~ Look what a beautiful little sister you have. Mom said with a bright smile on her face.
She carefully showed and handed me my younger sister so that I could better see her appearance and some features. She had barely noticeable gray or ash-colored hair. Although her eyes were closed, but because of the noise around the bed, she gradually began to wake up, opening her eyes, and I could see a white tint in them. And if you compare all the facts and that message, then you can come to the theory that this girl is the same Greyfia from the anime "Demons of High School DXD".
And if we recall his words about my secret desires, now this new world can become something more for me than a new home and the beginning of life from scratch. Given the large number of my hidden desires, which sometimes, under the influence of my emotions, could be slightly beyond the bounds of common sense, it is scary to imagine the future if they were all brought to life.
But if he has performed some of my most beloved and desired, then on the contrary it is good. From this perspective, I began to unconsciously smile broadly and rejoice at what might or might not be waiting for me in the future. After all, if a new life makes you feel like this, then it's a sin not to take advantage of what they give you. Holding one of the proofs in my hands, I can't wait for the future.
