Your day was supposed to be like any other day. Unfortunately, something went wrong and now, your usual normal day turned into your tragic end.
The next thing you know, it's dark and cold, a rainy night. You can't see anything but you can feel someone's arms wrapped around you. They whisper closely to you,
"My child, this is for your own good. You must live here with your father. Be happy and live strong."
The voice was gentle and soft. You could make out the face of a beautiful lady before she put you down near a door, knocking twice then running away. You never saw her again after that, your mother.
It's been several days since you woke up here. It was clear that you reincarnated into another world but it was probably the worst life you could get.. or at least the less preferred life.
"The note says this child is the King's?! Preposterous!"
The King's men gather around you. The whole castle was in an uproar upon your sudden arrival.
"Yes but look. The child has the royal mark. There! On the hand!"
"A lion mark... And it's real. This child is in fact, the King's.. but an illegitimate child-"
Doors suddenly swing open as a tall man with a long cape walks in. The man states loudly,
"Is not needed!"
You could tell immediately this person was of great importance, the King. Everyone bowed respectfully.
"King Ross!"
"Your Majesty!"
King Ross doesn't even spare a glance in your direction before continuing,
"Get rid of 'it' immediately."
The head maid had a nervous sweat as she presented a note to King Ross. It was a note left by your mother and the thing keeping you safe right now.
King Ross reads it quietly for a few seconds before clicking his tongue. His face scrunches up in disgust as he finally looks down at you.
"Your mother was a whoring witch. You're lucky she casted a spell to protect you."
The King stepped closer to you, his eyes narrowed,
"But only until you reach 21..."
With that last cryptic message, King Ross leaves allowing the servants to handle the rest. You're placed into the worst room, given only one servant, and your existence not even acknowledged by the King.
You are now 18 years old and you only have 3 years until your mother's protection spell gives out. What do you do now?
grey sits smoking on the castle wall he is known as the kings trumpcrd being a half demon grey has vast amounts of mana and has a cursed mark he is handsome with long white hair and two black ram like horns he only is wearing a robe as he looks out over the city his sharp teeth smiling
It's been several years since you were left here by your mother. Though you've tried to make the best out of it, being treated like garbage and ignored most of the time has taken its toll on you. You hear whispers about how you're going to die when you turn 21, but that doesn't seem to bother you much anymore. Life inside the castle is starting to feel more and more suffocating as each day passes.
grey however continues acting how he pleases often ignoring everyone and smiling perhaps its his heritage seeing how demons are so proud and seem to not care about humans very much grey then thinks about his mouth and stops smiling knowing it makes others uncomfortable to see his sharp teeth
One day, as you're walking through the castle grounds, you notice something rather odd. A servant girl is being harassed by some of your half-siblings and their friends. They're shoving her around and stealing things from her. You watch for a moment, debating whether or not to intervene.
You could easily step in and teach them all a lesson they won't forget, but then again... you don't really have anything to gain by doing so.
grey then walks behind his half brother towering over him grey says hey there geo what you up to his eyes faintly glowing a purple hue
Your half-brother named Geo turns around and scoffs at your sudden appearance. "Oh, if it isn't the illegitimate son of a whore. Mind your own business." He then goes back to harassing the servant girl with his friends.
You could step forward and confront him, or you could continue to let them bully the poor servant girl.
grey then punches his brother in the gut and now says i may be illegitimatebut im still the first born and when you think you can kill me then you can disrespect me till then though show respect you punk
"Hey!" Geo yells in pain as he double over from your punch to his stomach. His friends turn to look at him with surprise. "What was that for?" He demands, glaring up at you through squinted eyes.
grey then picks his brother up by the collar and says because you disrespected me and as a member of the kings order i should kill you but since you are young i will forgive you this time
Geo's face flushes red in anger as he struggles to break free from your grip. "I'm not scared of you!" He yells, his voice cracking slightly. His friends back away nervously. You could let him go or continue to hold onto him for a little while longer...
grey then says you need to be educated then perhaps ill just put a scar on that face of yours before grey then says now apologize to me and the maid you were harassing and ill let you go otherwise you may just disappear
"You wouldn't dare!" Geo spits venomously, still struggling to free himself. His friends look on with growing fear and uncertainty. They wonder if this strange half-brother of theirs is truly as dangerous as he seems.
Do you let him go or continue to hold onto him?
grey then widens his mouth unnaturally wide his sharp teeth baring he begins to slowly move his brothers head into his mouth
Geo lets out a scream as he feels your teeth pressing against his neck. His friends turn and run in fear, leaving him alone with you. Tears well up in his eyes as he begs for mercy, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" He sobs pathetically, barely audible over the pounding of your heart in his ears.
You could let him go now that he's apologized... or you could continue to hold him there a little longer, perhaps leaving a permanent reminder of this encounter.
grey then sets him on the floor and smiles before ruffling his hair and saying now run along and maybe next time you will remember your place
Surprised by the unexpected show of mercy, Geo quickly scampers away, never looking back. After seeing how easily you handled him, some of your other half-siblings decide to give you a wider berth in the future. For now, at least, it seems that word has spread about what might happen if someone crosses paths with the illegitimate son of the King.
grey then smiles his smile frightening the others away even the maid grey smiles before he then looks over seeing ross on a balcony watching
King Ross remains on his balcony, observing you with a mixture of curiosity and disdain. He has always been suspicious of your mother's motives for leaving you with him, but he won't let himself be distracted by such thoughts now. The day of your execution is quickly approaching, and he must focus on ensuring that it goes off without a hitch.
As you continue to walk through the castle grounds, you can't help but feel a newfound sense of freedom.
grey then walks over to the armory and equips some gloves before he begins training punching a metal dummy
King Ross watches with narrowed eyes as you enter the armory and begin training. He knows that you have access to all of his weapons and resources, but he doesn't expect you to become a threat before your time comes. After all, who would want to ally themselves with an illegitimate child? Still, he can't help but feel a small twinge of unease as you grow stronger day by day.
grey then as the sun begins to drop stops training and walks inside going to the kitchen knowing that he can just grab some food and doesn't need to go to the dining room to see his father knowing he is not welcome at the dinner table
King Ross watches as you leave the armory and head towards the kitchen. His face darkens at the sight of it. "He thinks he's so special," he mutters under his breath. But there is no denying that you are growing stronger, and your mother's protection spell won't last forever. He needs to find a way to deal with you before then...
grey then enters the kitchen the chefs parting as grey walks over to the food box and looking inside for something to eat
King Ross sighs heavily as he watches you from his balcony. He can't believe that in just a few short years, this child will be old enough to challenge him for the throne. Perhaps it would be best to find some way to speed up the process... But no, that wouldn't look good. Better to wait until the time is right.
grey then takes out some raw meat and veggies walking outside with it and a pot
King Ross frowns as he sees you cooking outside the castle walls. He doesn't understand why you insist on living like some sort of savage when you could be enjoying the luxuries of court life. Perhaps it's a sign that you aren't meant for this world... Or perhaps it's just another obstacle he needs to overcome before you can be dealt with permanently.
grey then makes the food and eats sitting alone outside
King Ross watches you eat with growing irritation. He can't believe that this... thing is his flesh and blood. It doesn't seem right. Perhaps it would be best to just get rid of you now, before your strength becomes a threat to the kingdom. But no, there are still three years left until the spell runs out. For now, all he can do is wait and watch from afar...
grey then finishes his food and washes the pot before bringing it back inside and putting it away
King Ross glares at you as you return to the castle with your dirty dishes. He knows that soon enough, he'll have no choice but to deal with you personally. But for now, he can only bide his time and hope that something will happen before then... Something that will remove this annoying thorn from his side once and for all.
grey then decides to go out hunting so after cleaning and putting away his things he then leaves without a wordtogo hunting like he usually does
King Ross watches you leave with narrowed eyes. He doesn't understand why you insist on going out into the world when he has everything here that could make your life better. Perhaps it's some sort of sick game to him, or maybe he just enjoys the challenge of constantly watching his back. Either way, he knows that time is running short and soon enough, he'll have no choice but to deal with this problem once and for all.
grey the next day returns dragging a giant boar behind him
King Ross's eyes widen as he sees you return with the giant boar. He didn't think that even your demonic heritage could help you bring down such a beast on your own. A small part of him is impressed, but it doesn't change anything. The execution date remains unchanged, and soon enough, this obstacle will be removed from his path once and for all.
