"Kanon, I thank you once more. If you happen to be reborn in two thousand years' time..."

"I shall do so as your friend." Anos laughed. "Farewell."

Thus, the body of the once great Demon King disappeared in a flash of light.

[??? Years later]

"Congratulations Madam Alice! Your child seems plenty healthy!"

"Im glad..!" Said a beautiful woman holding me in her arms.

fumu, It seems like this woman would be my mother from now on—Alice. I looked to my left and saw a man who had fierce features, but his actual personality completely contrasts it.. I suppose this would be my father..

"He looks adorable, just like you dear!" Said my father, "He's got your hair and my eyes too honey..". Oh? I can't seem to see my face right now, but it seems like i changed my appearance since there's not a single blackhead here.

"Waaa!!" ..What? Why can't i talk? I thought I've perfected the technique myself.. Well, mistakes are mistakes i guess, can't do anything about it.

"Seems like he's a healthy little boy!" Said the doctor. That's right, there's several reasons why newborns cry, that being—for expelling lung fluid, stimulating circulation, and to establish lung function—. Unable to contain his excitement, my father slowly took me away from my mother, and rocked me a little harshly than supposed.

"Reynolds!" Frowned my mother.—A worried mother is a good mother. My father, Reynolds, seems like a good guy, i look forward to living with them—. After finishing some business with the doctor, they brought me to their, now our home.

Fumu, seems like I'll be experiencing normal baby stuff. I was quite the anomaly since birth so I wasn't really 'babying'. Oh, i feel something warm on my butt.

"Asher.. Asher Leywin seems to be a good fit!" My father smiled broadly, my mother nodding.

A week or two passes by my experience as a baby. I realised that i wasn't able to initiate any spell for some reason when i tried to use <Krust>, and the thing that shocked me the most—was that my source of destruction was gone—, i couldn't feel it nor do i need to oppose it to suppress it.

That was quite a good surprise. Also, I've been seeing a little of my father using magic.. but there's no magic formation. —He chanted something and then the rocks around floated—. quite different from what i was used to.. i wonder..

Had i reincarnated into a world, outside the boundaries of the Militia world where the laws doesn't apply? Or have i just reincarnated into the future where the gods had been destroyed and new laws was forged? Either way, it seems like I'll be restarting my life.. without my source of destruction, like a.. baby, a normal one.

Fumu, i look forward to studying this world's magic. Oh, i think i crapped again, can't seem to control this body fully yet.

A year had passed since my birth, and I've gotten control over some parts of my body. —I've been looking around the house, looking for books or manuals about this world when i found one in my mother's room—. It didn't take me long to adapt to their language since i understood it already, easy.

Fumu, magic really is different than from back then.. there's ambient mana and internal mana, augmenters and conjurers.. very interesting.. What fascinated me the most was the core.

While the core wasn't as unique as the one back in Militia world where some people are born unique, like me, it's still quite interesting.. The core forms when all mana particles in your body gathers at a centre point, aka the solar plexus, which will awaken a mana core.

You need to absorb ambient mana in your core to purify it because the body's blood and other impurities had mixed with the mana particles in the body. The lighter your core, the more purer it is. Also making the mana reserves much better. The core seems to be a crucial part of one's life, as expected.

Right now, im still coreless. I'll have to gather all the mana particles onto a single point in order to manifest my mana core and actually start to set my foot in the world of magic again.

"Reading books again? There's no interesting pictures either.." Asked my mother, confused. This wouldn't be much of a problem though because,—kids are weird in general so they'll probably go into conclusion that I'll get out of it eventually—.

Oh, she's picking me up. I could smell the beautiful and exquisite smell of mushroom gratin. Though the quality isn't as good as the ones in Dilheid, —since I personally grew a whole forest with mushrooms specifically for myself there—.

As we were eating quietly on the table, my father spoke up; "Dear, it's been quite a long time since we had vacation yes?" My mother replied with a nod, still chewing the food. "I want to bring us all to go camping together, how about it?"

..My mother seems to be considering it. "It might be dangerous on our son honey..-" She answered, looking a bit concerned. "Don't worry, this area isn't dangerous, I can guarantee. Even if there is, I'll beat up all the mana beasts no problem!" My father assured with a thumbs up.

The next day, well all went on a one day trip near the town's forest for camping, doing all sorts of fun stuff.. I really had a lot of fun. I also awakened my mana core, how? Well;

While my parents were sleeping for the night, I went for a 'walk', far from the tent, it was a little struggle. I then gathered all the mana particles left to my centre, or solar plexus, which was at around 98%, and boom.

Luckily, they didn't suspect anything since the explosion was quite far from the tent. I slowly went back to the tent, satisfied for the night.
