Who exactly am I? That was the first thing that came to mind when I opened my eyes to a world of terrified stares.
To clarify, in the Shiel Empire of another world, I was known as the legend of a hero who fought the Queen of Death to protect the empire from the human realm. But he did not expect that he had been deceived.
After his doubt and falling in love with the Queen of Death, he discovered that she was the ruler of peaceful monsters who wished to live in peace, but the Shiel Empire coveted their land and the spoils they possessed.
As soon as the hero realized the truth of the situation, he turned against them, destroying the empire and turning it into ruins after he was overcome by anger, feelings of betrayal and guilt. Then he married the Queen of Death to give birth to his first successor, and on the same day of her birth, he cursed them with a curse that would appear as soon as corruption swept through the Shiel Empire.
The successor would give birth to the curse that would wipe it out of existence.
Will this is the legend, but the important question now is, why was I chosen to be the cursed successor who will destroy the empire?
How am I supposed to know?!
Everyone looked at me with fear and concern. I turned around and realized I had a twin.
To explain, I don't know, but it seems I have a more mature consciousness than my infant body, and that I was born with that curse everyone fears.
And that my mother, who gave birth to me, foretold this fate, and that the emperor wanted to kill her while she was pregnant with me and my twins, but he could not do so because she does not die from being stabbed or poisoned .
When they tried to kill me, my mother protected me and fled with me under the screams of my father, the emperor, who shouted, "Catch them and don't let them escape alive from my grasp!" A mountain of magical attacks rained down on my mother, but this time her wounds did not reopen.
Nevertheless, she fought them and continued her escape to get away from the palace after her strength gave out. She met a woman who handed me over to her as she was dying, and in her last breaths, she uttered my name "Haru" and continued, "Live free without the curse that is not your fault. Be a noble, peaceful man, protect those you love, and do not hold dark feelings for anyone in your heart. I am sorry, my son! I am truly sorry!".
Those tears that streamed from her eyes—I'll remember them clearly, even though my time with her was brief. They've now become an unforgettable memory, etched in my heart.
The unknown woman carried me away from my mother, and I watched from afar as she sacrificed herself, her last breaths, her final spell to disable the royal guards.
There was nothing I could do; I was powerless!! How weak I was!!!
Suddenly I began to feel a strange sensation in my chest that spread throughout my body.
Then I heard the sound of destruction and the screams of the royal guards all around, crying and running away.
At that time, the woman was terrified by my disappearance from her hands and her moving from her place to be near my wounded mother, and a strange magic that had never existed before was healing her wounds, which began to heal quickly.
If anyone moved, even an ant's width, their head would be severed from their body. That's all I could think about as I protected my wounded mother and the unknown woman caring for her behind me. My body was neither human nor beastly, but had limbs that resembled human limbs, yet were stronger and larger, enveloped in a strange, black energy. Pools of blood, and my presence dominated everything around me.
Wait a minute!! What happened to me??!!!
