Chapter 1: Reborn as a Demon Prince
"Kill him now. Take him away from me now."
The Demon King’s voice echoed coldly, like the final words a father would speak to his own child.
The day he was born became his last day.
Thirty minutes ago, in the Demon King’s palace, a baby was born. His name was Arya, the 8th prince of the Demon Emperor. But before he could even open his eyes to see his mother, the Demon King took him away.
The mother struggled. She tried to get up, but her body was too weak. She could not leave the bed. The only thing she could do was watch as her baby was taken away from her.
The maids stood silently, heads lowered.
Then the door closed.
Only footsteps remained.
The Demon King walked forward, carrying the baby, followed by others.
They arrived at the ritual hall.
Inside, the space was vast. Many figures stood in formation, holding books in their hands. They wore identical robes, their faces hidden beneath them.
In the center of the hall was a ritual circle. A table was placed upon it.
The Demon King placed the baby on it and stepped back.
The ritual began.
The circle lit up, glowing brightly across the hall.
One of the leaders stepped forward and lifted the baby. In that moment, the baby began to glow as well.
When everything ended, the man returned to the Demon King.
"The child has no magic energy."
Silence followed.
The Demon King’s expression changed.
Arya was weak. Without power.
In this world, every demon born carries magic. Humans and others do not. But a demon child born without power...
cannot survive.
The order came without hesitation.
Throw the baby from the mountain.
The soldiers stepped forward and took him away.
Then they reached the top of the mountain.
It was too high.
From the top, they could not see the ground below. Only clouds filled the view, covering everything beneath.
The wind moved around them, but no one spoke.
The soldier holding the baby stepped forward.
Without hesitation, he threw the baby down. The small body disappeared into the clouds.
Falling... deeper and deeper... until nothing could be seen anymore.
The soldiers turned back.
To them, it was already over.
No one survives a fall from that height.
They walked away, believing the baby was dead.
In the air, the baby was falling down, and suddenly he opened his eyes again.
This time, he remembered his past life, and his mind was a 24-year-old man inside a baby’s body.
He looked around and thought he was flying in the sky, still confused about what happened.
He thought he had just died, so how was he alive again.
He tried to move, but he couldn’t because the body was still a baby, and he was still falling down.
He could not understand what was happening to him.
He did not even realize he was inside a baby’s body.
He thought after the accident his body stopped moving, but he did not know the truth.
He looked down and realized he was going to die.
If he hit the ground, he would die instantly.
But before he touched the ground, his body stopped in the air.
A red energy suddenly released from his body.
He opened his eyes in shock.
At the side, there was a river, and when he looked at the water, he saw a baby.
Then his reaction changed.He was shocked, and he looked again, and he saw the baby’s face and body.
How it can be... I am a baby now... but how.
He was still confused.
He looked at the baby, but he was still a man inside.
Only then did he realize he had been reborn.
But where... he does not know.
But he still didn’t understand why he was floating slightly above the ground.
Then a blur screen suddenly opened in the air. On it, words appeared: "Hell System Activate."
A blue screen... what? How can I fly in the air? Arya thought.
Then he remembered something. I have seen this type of blue screen in a game.
Then on the screen, his level was one, but his name did not show there, that meant he did not get any name there till now.
Then he did not have mana to use magic, but he had fire skill.
"If I can’t use magic because I don’t have mana, then how can I use fireball, it is also magic," he thought.
Then system told him, "Like others have mana to use magic, but in your case you use energy to make magic."
He continued to read, there were some special skills. That meant he had some power like Flying, Devour, Telepathy.
"That means I have some power like Flying, Devour, Telepathy," he thought.
"Why am I so happy... and where am I? Is this a game?" he said.
"This is not anime, you are reborn in another world with your past memory," system told him.
"That means I am dead in the real world and reborn in a game-like world," he said.
"You have to increase your level to survive. In this world, you have to devour, or others will devour you," system told him.
Then suddenly, a shadow came from the forest in front of him.
It was bigger... like a giant.
In front of it, he was nothing.
It looked like a wolf monster... but it had three heads.
From their mouths, their teeth were big and dangerous.
They looked hungry... and saliva was falling down.
The three heads moved on their own... like they had different minds.
Then they all looked at him.
Like they wanted to eat him. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Arya had power... but he could not use it properly.
Because now he was in a baby body.
He could only fly.
He could not even move his body... only moving because of the flying ability.
What the hell is this... how am I supposed to fight this? he thought.
I can only run... but at this speed, they will catch me.
Why can’t I fly upward? I am only floating a little above the ground.
I can only think... I am done now... what to do?
He thought again, helpless.
He couldn’t even talk, because in this body he was just a baby. Babies can’t speak or move properly... they only lie down and sleep.
But he was in danger... and he couldn’t sleep now.
Before he could think further—
Without warning, the monster attacked.
The middle head moved first, trying to bite him.
Almost... it reached him.
At the last moment, he dodged.
Another head came instantly.
He dodged again... barely.
