Reincarnated as a Nephilim
When I woke up, there was this beautiful woman holding me in her arms. She had green luscious eyes and blonde hair. Her skin was as white as snow, pretty pale.
I don't remember anything, maybe my consciousness doesn't take hold when I'm born. Well, glad I have control now.
"Oh look, he has finally awakened."
Hmm, she spoke English. I hope everyone in this world speaks English. Good thing this woman does, that's a relief.
Her voice was pretty soft. Like the voice of an angel.
Gasp!
Maybe she is an angel! Angels do exist in this world.
"It seems he has."
A man walked up behind her. He had white hair, white skin, and silver eyes.
Silver eyes? That's pretty weird. He emitted an angelic aura too; I felt comfortable around him.
"Ah-Ah-ACHOO!"
Flutter~
When the man sneezed, I saw a flock of white feathers bursting from his back.
"Dear, didn't I tell you to keep your wings under control."
"I'm sorry, honey."
So they're a couple, huh? Are they married?
Hmm...
Yep, they're married. They have rings.
Hmm, if I'm in this lady's arm, she must be my mother, and this man must be my father.
My father's an angel, that's pretty sick. My mother must also be an angel.
"You did well, didn't you dear."
"Hehehe, that's right."
My father's voice was pretty soft, enchanting I must say. Maybe I have can have a voice like that. I heard that most girls like deep voices, but some prefer soft voices since they make the man sound more friendly and respectful.
"Ah-ah."
"Aww, he's trying to speak."
"He'll learn to talk soon."
As I expected, I can't talk due to being a baby. I can only make some cooing sounds.
Well then, guess I should be patient and go through the baby stage again.

6 months passed...
I can finally move my body now. Most I can do is crawl around though.
I've been trying my hardest to talk, but it looks like I'll have to wait longer.
I also found out that my mother wasn't an angel but a human which was kind of disappointing, but that means that I'm a creature called a Nephilim. A hybrid between a human and an angel.
These past months I have gone through the best moments of being an infant, you get a lot of attention and well you do baby stuff.
There are just some moments that I wish I didn't have to go through again.
My parents gave me the name Lucian, and our family's surname is Caelum. So my full name is Lucian Caelum. Sounds pretty cool if you ask me.
I also learned a few things during my time as a baby. My birthplace is the kingdom of Draco. When I heard first that name I immediately thought of a dragon. I mean Draco means dragon, right?
Turns out there are dragons in Draco, mostly because we are near the dragon's country, Vritra.
A dragon named Ddraig often visits my parents and believe me, he's freaking huge! There is a nearby tower and if you compare the two, he's two times large than it. Though he often morphs into his human form so he doesn't freak out the neighbors. They often talk about the time they spent together.
Turns out my dad is friends with him. My father used to be a soldier in the heavenly army, and he saved Ddraig when he was injured. He retired shortly after the principle of heaven was destroyed. Then he met my mom, who was only a young teen then. She saved him when he had nowhere to go. A few years later, they fell in love and you know the rest.
Now it isn't just Ddraig who visits us, my dad is also friends with a devil. I never knew angels and devils could get along, but it's probably the work of the demon god that this is possible.
His devil friend usually visits my dad once in a while. They used to be rivals when dad was still a soldier, now he's just like my dad, a father.
"Hehehe..."
I heard a laugh; it was the laugh of a young girl.
By the way, he has a daughter who is 1 year older than me, her name is Amanda Bluemoon, she has black hair and blue eyes. She's also a hybrid like me, half-human, half-demon.
The thing is, she's really attached to me. She keeps hugging me and everything. Though I can't say I really hate this affection, it's just kind of annoying to be hugged all the time.
If only I could walk away from her. These stubby legs aren't going to get me anywhere.
Hmm... I also wonder.
Since I'm half angel, I probably have wings as well.
Sigh...
Maybe I should've asked her to put me in the body of a 4-year-old. Waiting to get my system is pretty tough.
Wait a minute, how am I going to contact her?
I never thought about that.
Well, what's done is done. I can't complain.
Guess I have to wait 3 and a half years.
***
3 and a half years passed...
Hey guys, it's me, Lucian.
I'm 4 years old now, so yay me. I'm tall enough to look into the mirror now. I have white hair like my father and golden pearlescent colors that appear when light shines on my hair. Must be from my mother. I didn't expect this but I have heterochromia, my left eye is green and my right one is silver. You could say I was a special baby. But enough about me.
Now that I'm 4 years old, this means that I'm getting the system I asked for from that goddess.
Problem is...
How am I supposed to activate it?
I've been thinking hard in the field, walking around. Maybe I just have to call it out?
"System activate."
Nothing happened. But what if that actually worked?
Hmm, that would be pretty embarrassing if I had to call it out.
`System activate...` Ugh, that sounds so cringy too.
Maybe I have to press a part of my body in order to activate it?
I'd start tapping every part of my body, my chest, my arms, my legs, not my crotch because I know it would definitely not be there.
"So that doesn't work too, huh?"
Man, I should have consulted with her first.
Hmm...
Ahh. I know, maybe I can just activate it at will. I just have to think of it.
...
...
...
Activate.
Tti-ring!
!
It worked.
There was a blue stat window in front of me. Looks like she did a pretty good job with it. Now let's see...
I read the stat window from top to bottom, left to right.

Well, this is pretty cool. She really did a good job. But there were multiple things that interested me.
What's an aura type?
I inspected the stat window, hoping there was a contact feature. I mean, she probably implemented that feature, didn't she?
Well, she did. There was a little help symbol at the lower-left corner of the window.
I tried to tap it, but my hand went through the hologram.
Oh yeah, I'm supposed to interact with it with my mind.
I looked at the help symbol in the left corner. In my mind, I wanted to press it.
Beep.
And it looks like I did it, I'm getting the hang of this.
...
...
...
This is taking a while...
...
...
...
Is she going to answer or...
After a few seconds, she finally connected.
[H-hello?]
"Yes is this... uhh... what's your name?"
[T-that isn't important, I reckon you called me for information?]
"Yes, what is aura type?"
[Yes aura types, you see in this world, your power is measured by the kind of aura you have.]
"Care to elaborate?"
[There are 7 auras. I'll name them from weakest to strongest. You will start off with a standard aura...]
So I currently have the weakest aura right now, I see.
[After that there is the blazing aura, lightning aura, crystalline aura, and then the mastered aura.]
"I see. Wait a minute, that's only 5, what about the last 2?"
[I will tell you those after you reach mastered aura.]
"...fine."
[Is that all you have for me?]
"Can you explain why my level cap is 10? And also how do I gain xp?"
My level cap was 10, and that seemed pretty low to me.
[I made you level cap 10 because you'll need to evolve soon.]
"Evolve?"
[You won't stay as a Nephilim forever. There are many choices of evolution. The divine path, the draconian path, etc.]
Draconian path? Well, of course I'm going to choose that.
But is that wise? I can also choose the divine path.
Oh well, that doesn't matter. It's something I will have to worry about in the future.
"Now what about xp?"
[You kill creatures and train, isn't that what you do?]
"Well yes, but I've never done that before..."
[You'll figure it out soon. Should I have someone train you?]
"Huh? You can do that? Who?"
[I believe Ddraig is associated with your father, am I correct?]
Really? Ddraig is going to train me? That's incredible!
"So he's going to train me?"
[Yes, I will contact Ddraig for you. Should I tell your parents too?]
My parents. Right. If they found out their 4-year-old son was already training and killing animals, it would terrify them?
"Mmm, no need to. I don't want them to worry."
[Secret training it is. Ok, is that all?]
"Hmm, pretty much."
[Alright, contact me when you have questions.]
"Right."
Then she disconnected, and the status window returned.
"Hmm... I should get going, it's almost dawn."
Secret training with a dragon, huh? I can't wait.
...
Wait a minute. I forgot to ask her name again.
