Blizt 'N Demon

Chapter 64 - Reincarnation

*Flashback POV Ralt

On my 16th birthday, I found some bad luck. When I went home at night, I accidentally met a pack of wolves. I ran for tens of minutes away from them, but the wolves kept chasing me and would not let me go.

I retreated further back as dozens of wolves surrounded me from all directions. They look scary. Their eyes flashed red in this dark forest.

As I retreated, the wolf slowly walked closer to me. I wanted to turn around and run, but I didn't feel the surface of the ground on the soles of the feet that were one step behind. Even I heard the sound of falling circles of land without the sound of falling to the surface.

Now what am I supposed to do? The wolf was getting closer, I was surrounded as well. There is no way to run. I was thinking about the idea of getting out of this. However, I thought for too long that one of the wolves jumped up to pounce on me.

I was surprised because I had just come to my senses from daydreaming. I reflexively rewinded my steps. But what I did made me fall.

"Aaakhhhh..," I cried out in fear. The wind hit my body strongly, making me even more frightened.

Something sharp immediately pierced my fallen back first. I could feel the warm liquid coming out from between my wounded body. Awareness declining. It hurt so much I wanted to scream. But, that sharp something also pierced my neck, rendering me unable to speak.

The dark, cloudy sky became blurry in view, then began to blacken. My neck is like being on the edge of death. Time slowed down for a moment, until I could feel nothing more.

I immediately sat down my body position. Sweat soaked my forehead to the clothes I wore, "Huh...! Uhuk.. Uhuk.."

I coughed because I remembered the moment when death picked me up. That's very painful. Unknowingly, my eyes immediately water.

"You're sober?"

I immediately looked to the side and saw a beautiful girl with very smooth white skin accompanied by a pair of horns, but one of them looked broken. His face looked agitated and worried. I immediately felt confused. I've never seen it, "You.. Who?"

He looked surprised. For a moment he was silent. Maybe he was thinking about the answer to my question? No, that look was more like guilt.

"I'm sorry, because of brother, you got hit. But thank you for coming and helping my brother from the robbers at the right time" he said.

I cringed when I heard his explanation. Whatdoes thatmean? Help him from the robbers? When have I ever done that? I don't even remember if I ever helped another demon.

As I was about to reply to her, she immediately continued, "But because of helping big brother, you were so badly injured. In fact, maybe you also lost your memory because of being hit by a rock. Sorry.. Brother endangered you... Sorry you hurt you.."

He started crying. He tried to remove it, but the tears did not subside. I am so sorry to see such a beautiful girl cry like this. I held onto the wrist that she used to cover her face, "Don't blame yourself. I'm fine."

Instantly I was silent for a moment when I saw the size of the hand I extended to him. Why so small? Is my hand that small? No–I always pay attention to myself. I'm 16 years old, I shouldn't have my hands this small. It was even more similar in size to a 10-year-old. Whatisthis? What the hell's going on?

My daydreams instantly crumbled as the girl directly hugged me tightly while crying, "Sorry.. Next time I'll take care of you. I will be strong for you. I won't let you get hurt again. I promise."

I became nervous as he hugged me. It's not that I don't like being hugged by pretty girls, it's just that, I'm not used to hugging a woman, even I haven't hugged my own mother since I was 8, because she died back then.

He immediately took his embrace off me so that I could breathe a sigh of relief. I tried to calm this strong heartbeat. He really made me almost faint!

She started to wipe back her tears without noticing my already red face. I turned my face the other way and grumbled inwardly to divert my mind.

"Thank you.. Thanks Crocel. I will become stronger to protect you. I won't let you get hurt. You're the only family I have now."

I was stunned when I heard her words. Hunt me turn my attention to him again, "C-crocel? Who's that?"

He looked a little confused by my question, but he immediately smiled as if he understood my question. Oh my God, she's really beautiful! All my life I've never met a girl as beautiful as her!

"Crocel, that's your name. Then my name is Cecyl. I'm your brother."

I was very surprised when I heard his words. I shook my head with reflexes, "No–myname–"

I was immediately stunned when I realized something. I saw a large enough mirror that blocked the body of the girl in front of me. What I saw was not a body that looked 16 years old or like a teenager. All I saw was the child's body that looked like a 10-year-old range. His forehead was wrapped around by a white cloth and left traces of blood there.

I widened my eyes because I couldn't believe what I saw. I got out of the bed made of woven bamboo and immediately approached the mirror. I patted my cheek and the mirror reflection did the same thing. I started pinching my nose and the reflection went back to doing what I was doing.

Now I pout my cheek hard and again, the reflection follows. I shook my head in disbelief. What the hell's going on? My bodies? Why did my body become small? Why did my name become Crocel? Since when do I have a sister?

I fell silent and stared at what was happening. The girl who introduced herself as Cecyl noticed me. I could see the reflection of his expression from the mirror. He was worried like that. I hurriedly turned my body to him so that he did not embrace me by arriving like before.

"I-I'm fine, k-k-sister don't have to worry. Yeah, I'm fine. Brother need not worry. My memory must have disappeared from being hit by a rock like I said before," I tried to give the best possible response to him.

"You sure?" Cecyl doesn't seem to believe what I said.

I nodded his words many times. He breathed a heavy sigh and got up from the seat he was sitting on. He walked over, my heart pounding again. I was worried that he would hug me like that.

"Then you better take a break now. Do not move much, later the wound re-opens. I'll make you some food."

I nodded quickly and he passed from before me. I sighed because what I thought was wrong. I turned back to the mirror. This face is completely foreign. I didn't recognize him.

Suddenly I felt pain in my head, hands and feet. I saw that all the parts of my body that were in pain were now wrapped around a white cloth. I grimaced in pain, but this pain was not comparable to the pain before.

I immediately sat down to the edge of the bed and pondered what had happened. I am still alive despite being pierced by the sharp ground in the ravine. My name is Crocel, and then I have a brother. Small body, and foreign face. What don't don't.. L'm.. Reincarnated?

I shook my head in disbelief. Is it really like that? But how can it be? I never even thought I could be like that. I'm just a weak demon living in the suburbs close to the forest. I live with my father and brother. I have no great power or high office in a kingdom. I'm just a firewood salesman who sells wood to the market every day.

How does a demon like me get a second chance at life? Is this one of my luck? But whatever it is, I'm happy. I'm glad I came back to life. But on the other hand, I miss my family. I miss my dad's chatter and it sucks my sister. Now there are no them, it feels so lonely.
