Chapter 2 - A New Chapter

"Welcome to this world, Moros."

6 years later.

Moros is now 6 years old. And has been reborn into one of the 5 major families of the Puffilian Empire. Born as the only child of the Sloan family. Born to Salvador Sloan, the patriarch of the Sloan family and Moros's father. And his mother is Luna Sloan. 

"Mother, look how strong I've become." 

As Moros swings his practice sword at a wooden pole, which falls over at the strike against it. All to the amusement of the women standing a couple of meters away.

"Well done, my little baby." As Luna walks over to congratulate Moros.

"You'll grow to become a strong man just like your father." 

"Mother, when will I be able to get strong powers like yours?"

Luna replies, "Soon, my son. Soon."

"Mmph."

"Just remember that it's a long and often lonely path for those who seek power."

"I know," Moros grumbles.

As he leaves the training area back towards the mansion. Moros walks past some maids in a huddle murmuring about the general state of the world.

"You know, I heard the Dragons are going to declare a full-scale assault on the demons."

"I heard a new talent has been discovered at the academy. She has the power of 'Death'."

"Lucky bitch."

"At least it's a human."

"Yeah, but you know how someone's power influences their personality. She could be hella weird."

"Shhh, Young Master's coming."

As Moros enters the hallway, all the maids in a huddle stand up straight.

"In a robotic manner," they all say. "Hello, Young Master!"

Moros smiling says. "Hello, ladies, would you like to inform me about what you guys were talking about?"

The maid in the front says. "It is none of your concern, young master."

Moros raises one eyebrow and carries on his way back to his bedroom, where he passes more maids and guards protecting the mansion.

When Moros gets back to his bedroom, he jumps on his bed and thinks about his day.

'It's been 6 years.'

He thinks on what's happened over the last couple of years and his past life. How he caused ruin to his entire family. 

'The past is the past, and I need to learn to move on.'

He learned many things about this world. There are 7 continents, all ruled by a different race. Demons, humans, elves, dwarves, giants, vampires, and dragons. There is a lot of competition between races, with humans being the weakest and dragons being the strongest per person. The overall strongest continent ruled is the Demon continent, with their long life spans and massive population. Yet they have one major problem: their aggression with other races. They are at war with every race because of it. 

Moros also learned power is generally found to be with the races with the longest life spans, like the demons and dragons, due to them having more time to accumulate power and be able to rise to a point of being able to live a million years if one desired. 

The way someone awakened would be by going through a ritual at the age of 12. To find the word that would describe the person's powers. Some get words that have other words incorporated into them. Such as with 'Sun,' with it having 'light,' 'gravity,' and 'space.' All as extra powers able to be used with the power of the sun. The personality of the person also can change drastically, as if you get the power of 'wrath.' You'd become extremely fiery-tempered, etc. Or you become engrossed in that particular word.

Like if the word was 'Blacksmith,' all you'd want to become in your life would be a blacksmith of something. 

Yet the most disturbing fact would be the orphan kids, which awaken strong words. Normally get kidnapped by powerful groups and get manipulated into becoming a puppet for them. Which would be like killing all of those 'weak' words. 

The most interesting fact would be that the world only used to have humans on it. But over generations people awakened powers like demon or dragon, which changed their race, and had kids, and so on, causing new races to emerge. With other races, unintelligent races are emerging due to crazy people over time creating them. 

Moros gets awakened from his stupor by the call of a maid.

"Young master, it's time for dinner."

Moros rises gently and walks toward the door, where he greets the maid.

"Nice to see you today, Jennifer," he says, smiling.

Where he makes his way over towards some lavish doors with the family crest painted upon them.

Moros looks in to see his mother sitting at the end of the table. Moros, not seeing his father, asks, "Mother, where is Father?"

"Honey, your father has gone out to solve an issue involving the demons."

While saying the words, she beckons her son to sit next to her.

Moros and his mother have a chat while eating their dinner, but then she asks. 

"Do you want to go and see your grandparents?"

Moros replies happily, "Yes!"

Luna smiles as the time passes; they finish the food. Luna beckons her son to come over to her. Moros complies and holds his mother's hand.

As all of the surroundings change to one of tranquility with a view of a mansion in the near distance. They were standing in the middle of a garden with transcendental beauty, with the light from the moon dancing off the plants, giving it a unique charm.

There were 4 figures of people, 2 female and 2 male. Both females had an otherworldly beauty, both on par with his mother, with one with blonde hair and the other with black hair. Both had glistening golden eyes. The males, on the other hand, have one with white hair and another with purple hair. With the one with white hair having red eyes and the one with purple having blue eyes.

They were all smiling as the blonde woman opened her mouth to speak.
