The wife makes it to a flowing river, her blood dripping in its clear water.

She gently tells her son as she sets up a casket and put's the baby in it. . She place's the casket in the water, but not before the baby grabs her finger.

The baby opens his eyes and sees a fowl monster smash the mothers head with just its hand, its eyes staring into the poor baby's soul.
10 Years later/Y/N Pov:
I open my eyes quickly as I sit up in a cold sweat. 'was that a dream? I can't remember it' I think as I sit up looking at my hands. "Its all a blur" I mutter as I stand up, getting ready for the day. I work in a blacksmith near a village of Juzuki, famous for its myth's of monsters and beasts. I live in the forest near the village, though the villagers doesn't like me because I look like a 'demon'. Its most likely because of my black Sclera.
I put on a normal brown Haori with a normal white shirt underneath and long pants cause its cold, but no shoe's. I need to down to the village because I'm running low on materials. I pick up a bamboo basket and exit my home/forge. It takes about 5 minutes to reach the village from where I live. I pass the Wisteria Tree next to my home and walk down to Juzuki village. Under my feet I feel the vibrations of the villagers gathering in front of a home, and they feel panicked.
When I make it down I notice a few glares my direction, but I just ignore it, making my way through the crowd to see what the commotion is. When I do manage to see what's going on, but I regret it instantly. There's a bloody corpse of a stall owner laying in a pool of their own blood with many chucks of flesh missing along with his entire left leg.
I gag at the sight as I feel like I'm about to vomit, but I hold back. I look up and see his window is shattered and the front door broken down from the outside, so someone, or something broke it down to get inside. I look around and the crowd is focused on the body, however one person catches my eye. He's wearing a fancy looking haori, a weird mask, and carrying a sword. 'Never seen him before, maybe he's a traveling swordsmen' I think as I unconsciously stare at him.
The masked swordsmen seemed to have noticed me staring so I quickly look away and back at the poor souls dead body. "Its probably that demon child's fault" "Why is that disgusting child here?" "Why does he even live?" are a few of the murmurs in the crowd, now I feel all eyes on me. I decide to walk away so I'm not a bother to the villagers. Suddenly I feel a tap on my shoulder, I turn around and see the strange swordsman. "Hello sir, need anything?" I ask politely.
"Would you tell me about why the villagers said such cruel things to a child?" He asked me which shocked me slightly. "Its all because of my eye, see, they think I'm a demon" I show him my right eye, which has black sclera. "As far as I'm concerned, your no demon child" He tells me and I nod. "Demons don't even exits, their just stories to scare children" I tell him but he seems unamused. "How would you feel if I told you that what killed that man was a demon" He asks me and I shake my head. "Are you some sort of demon expert?" I ask and he nods slightly.
"More like demon slayer" he says and I feel uneasy. "Demons come out only at night because they burn in the sunlight. They feast on human flesh" He tells me and I shiver at the eating people part. "Would you like to learn to kill those demons?" he asks, and I'm completely dumbfounded, me? Kill a demon?
'I myself am considered a demon. Maybe, I don't know anymore'
