Chapter 302 – Secret Behind Birth (1)

13 years ago.

Jamie got his second life in the Welton family, which ruled the Haiss estate in the Seldam Kingdom.

Without knowing anything, he was reborn after 66.666 years.

He had many questions about his second life. Still, he was only able to uncover a few of the secrets surrounding it. The only thing he heard that had concrete evidence was the conversation with the old god Osiris whom he met in Avalon.

It was the suspicion that his reincarnation might not have happened normally.

But he hadn’t been able to find any connections after that.

‘Isn’t it okay to look at this as related to me?’

The fact that 13 years ago might be a coincidence, but as he felt for the past years, the current situation couldn’t be a coincidence.

“What is it?”

As Jamie’s expression went stiff, Henos asked, making Jamie shake his head.

“One more thing. I heard from Beiros that an anomaly caused the time axis to accelerate faster than usual.”

“Right. After about 700 years ago and then about 23 years ago, the range of the time axis turned longer and is what it is now.’

“In terms of human time?”

“Well… I think it should be less than 6 years and 2 months, respectively.”

6 years and 2 months.

What changes happened during that time?

Six years ago was a time when many things were happening, and 2 months ago, he came out of his closed-room training and began to work out.

However, it doesn’t seem likely that it would have affected the time axis of Devildom just because he was a bit active.

There must have been something in common between the two time frames.

Jamie, who was deeply thinking about it, suddenly thought of something and exclaimed.

“Ah!’

“What is it? Did you find out something?”

Henos, who felt Jamie’s reaction was unusual, asked with bright eyes, and Jamie, who realized that he had made a mistake, shook his head.

“Ah, I was mistaken. You don’t have to care about this.”

“Hmm.”

Henos looked at him suspiciously.

But then Jamie was smiling, saying it wasn’t a problem.

It was so natural that even Henos couldn’t tell if this was a fake or real smile.

“Fine. Are you finished with your questions?”

“Thanks to you, I am done. I will come to you the next time I have questions to ask.”

“As long as it doesn’t take too much of my time. I already lost 10 minutes. I have work to do.”

Saying that, Henos buried himself into the pile of mechanical devices and began to perform the experiment.

Normally Jamie would have asked about the machines, but now he had other thoughts in his mind.

Turning around, he told Beiros to teleport them back.

“Did you find out anything?”

Beiros, who was following along, asked Jamie, who nodded.

“Let’s go somewhere private.”

“A private place?’

“Well, the most private place in this region.”

At the same time, they both teleported.

Beiros was taken aback at the sudden teleportation, but when he checked where he had arrived, it felt like a good thing.

“T-this is?”

Jamie left Beiros behind and called for Trika, who was looking out the window.

“Ugh, Trika.”

Jamie called out Trika using his name, shocking Beiros.

‘Is that human crazy?’

He knew the Demon King favored the human but wasn’t this too much?

Calling him by his name?

This calls for death.

The Demon King of Lust mercilessly killed even the loyal subordinates who crossed a line.

However, only a human was doing this rude act. This guy couldn’t even survive.

A serious situation.

But for Beiros, this is a good situation.

‘Will I get my freedom like this!?’

If the Demon King slaughters the human, then the contract will fall. Then he can live as before.

Instead of being a slave to someone, he can enjoy his superior life in the Devildom.

Beiros grabbed his pounding heart and looked at Trika.

Soon, the price of calling him by his name will be delivered to the human!

‘Give up the hope that his majesty will let you go because you defeated me!’

Demon King is someone who transcended everyone, and a single hit will destroy Jamie.

He looked forward to seeing it…

“Lord, are you here?”

“I am here to talk about something.”

“Uh?”

Jamie and Trika looked at Beiros, who made a strange sound during their conversation. Beiros asked Trika,

“Your Majesty? This human just insulted your dignity? And Lord… what?”

His head felt confused.

Calling the Demon King by the name so careless meant Jamie had to lose his head. But he couldn’t understand why Trika was calling Jamie his lord.

“It isn’t enough to tear the human who crossed the line in half to kill him. What the hell is this?”

He was so flustered that he couldn’t even speak carefully and cursed.

Jamie frowned at this, but Beiros didn’t notice it.

“We should punish the arrogant human, right? And the word, lord, I must have heard it wrong. Is it possible for the lord of the lust troops to express someone as Lord? Hahaha. I must be foolish. Come on, we need to punish this human. I don’t even underst… kuak!”

“How dare this bastard try to make us listen!”

Jamie could not bear the continuous speaking of Beiros and hit him in the knee.

“Let’s hit him now.”

“Kuak!”

Then he got beaten down, and Trika watched as he was sipping the luxury tea of Devildom.

“Hmm. I cannot taste anything.”

As an undead, he had no taste.

“Phew.”

“….”

Jamie sat down with Beiros.

Beiros was speechless as he was hit with aura.

In such a state, it felt like the weight of Jamie, who was sitting on him, must have been tens of tons.

“This much can be handled, right? Beiros?”

“…”

“if you don’t answer, you will be beaten again.”

“R-right.”

Born as a hybrid dragon and demon, he was a demon who grew faster than any other. Quite a few people followed him, thinking he would be the next Demon King.

But now, he was reduced to a living chair.

‘Shit. How can a demon be turned into this?’

All of this had to be karma he brought with his own hands. Still, if he could go back to the past, he would never make the same mistake again.

He’d go somewhere to the outskirts, live quietly, and then come back when Jamie Welton leaves.

“Don’t think about anything else.”

Ghost bastard!

Beiros held his trembling hands. Jamie chuckled as he said to Trika.

“Anyway, let’s start talking again.”

“Right.”

“B-but… “

The two were talking again, but Beiros, who stretched out himself like a chair, groaned.

“Does a chair speak?”

“I have a question…”

“Why is Trika being respectful to me?”

Beiros nodded, and Jamie didn’t feel the need to hide it.

“That guy, I made him.”

“.. Uh?”

“Anyway, your soul is mine, so there is no need to keep it a secret. Trika is the Dark Knight I made.”

“Your Majesty, Undead? But His Majesty lived tens of thousands of years…”

He didn’t understand; Jamie was just 13 years old. So how could he make Trika, who had lived longer than him?

“Exactly, the undead I created in my previous life. I am a reincarnation.”

Hearing the word reincarnation, Beiros face went blank.

Could this be a joke?

These were such absurd sounding words.

A reincarnation?

Even a passing dog will spit at this word.

“It is real.”

But Beiros couldn’t help but believe when Trika said it.

“Anyway, that is how it happened. Don’t bother asking. Even if you don’t like it, I will put the information into the head later.”

Jamie got up from him and sat across Trika.

Beiros felt his body turn lighter than a feather, as if the gravitational pull had vanished.

It is still hard to comprehend, but the atmosphere right now couldn’t be explained any other way.

Beiros wasn’t ignorant enough to not notice this. Jamie said to Beiros,

“Come here and listen from now. Perhaps something surprising is about to begin.”

With those words, Beiros felt as if something troublesome was going to happen.

At the same time, he thought this would be fine.

“So, the start of the Acroba incident was 13 years back in human time… is what you are saying?”

“Yes. When I was born.”

Trika looked quite serious and placed a curtain around to prevent the noise from spreading.

No matter how fearsome he was, he didn’t want to take the chance with anyone listening to it.

“You must have been involved in the Acroba incident, too.”

“Yes. I also fought fiercely with the other Demon Kings to occupy the dimensional stone which appeared. Beiros, too participated in the war.”

“You are right. That was when I ripped off the limbs of Count Deckard of Vampire Legion.”

“We didn’t ask for that.”

“… Yes.”

Jamie, who had silenced Beiros, thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Can we see it?”

“Are you talking about Acroba Plains?”

“Yes.”

“it is nothing but a huge pit now. It will most likely be in vain.”

“It is fine. I want to see it once.”

“All right. I will get it ready.”

“Yes. And.”

“Say it.”

“it seems certain that my existence is affecting Devildom.”

Trika titled his head.

“What do you mean?”

“Literally. Two abnormalities in which the time axis of Devildom began to accelerate. It’s all about the time I was active in the human world.”

“I think it could be speculation.”

“I would be into it too if it were just time, but it was 13 years ago, and there are things that happened.”

“What do you mean?”

“That is, this power.”

Jamie raised his hand where starlight formed like a sphere.

“6 years back. I awakened this power.”

The first king, Gav, hid deep in the magical world in the form of a library. Long ago, he obtained a fragment of Diablo Volfir and gained power.

However, Jamie defeated him in the end and took back his power, leading to Black eating it, creating a new form of black mana in the process.

“And about 2 months back, I came to an enlightenment during a fight, and with the help of Black sleeping within me, the starlight began to evolve another step ahead.”

“But it seems like an overstatement to say that the time axis change of Devildom is due to that.”

“Right. However… I heard something from Jormungand’s men.”

“Jormungand… what did her subordinate say?”

“This starlight.”

Jamie said, taking back the sphere.

“it is similar to the holy power of the 12 Gods.”

To be precise, it resonated with the ‘holiness’ the Gods had, but was done with black mana.

Only Jormungand, the creator of holy power, and Black, the source of starlight, would have felt this firsthand.

What is certain is that this power was created by Diablo Volfir in the Shadow World and is probably not much different from the holy power.

“Well.”

Trika couldn’t speak at this.

As a Demon King, he knew quite a lot, but this was something he couldn’t pretend to know.
