'Officially two years old, I had found out that this was the kingdom Ashura. The kingdom mainly contained individuals such a ghouls, succubus, lower demons, ghosts, zombies and beastmen.'
There might have been more but Ray's mind forgot quite a bit with his new body. Ray had by this age interacted with most if not all his older siblings.
The family list went something like:
>>
Rose Ryjin
1st oldest
age: 20
>>
Next
>>
Macey Ryjin
nickname: Maze
2nd oldest,
age: 19
>>
These two were technically the two that would gain the throne if they weren't both daughters. Sadly it seemed that Ray had traveled to a time were sons would only be able to get the throne, whereas daughters were married into other families as tradition.
Next was,
>>
Sythron Ryjin
3rd oldest,
age: 18
>>
He would have been the next in line however Sythron had a twin brother.
>>
Sythen Ryjin
age: 18 and also 3rd oldest but counted as the 4th
>>
Since these two were bound by souls, they would not be fit to rule the throne. Strictly speaking when souls were bound in demon terminology they would be able to read each other's thoughts and feelings.
Which would make it impossible for just one of them to rule as they were connected so deeply and seemed to act as one in most cases.
Next was,
>>
Viola Ryjin
age: 16,
5th oldest
>>
'Too young for even thinking of a throne but her marriage was already thought out with a neighbouring Kingdom, typical.'
>>
Lance Ryjin
age: 12,
6th oldest
>>
Also too young just like,
>>
Ash Ryjin
age: 9
7th oldest
>>
>>
Xion Ryjin
age: 7
8th oldest
>>
They were the three sons that,
>>
Martha Nydell Ryjin
age: unknown
Ray's Mother
>>
>>
Drilon Octave Ryjin
age: unknown
Ray's Father
>>
Ray's father were hoping would take the throne.
Leaving the youngest
>>
Ray Ryjin
alias: Ray Zone
Now age 2
youngest of 8

himself - still being breastfed.
'God I hate this every single time.'
Ray after being put down after being fed his daily dose of 'mother's milk', crawled over to the shelf with many books in it.
This is where Ray had been gaining some common knowledge and understanding of this world and it's inhabitants. It seemed that he had been reincarnated/reborn in a fantasy like world of demons and hero's who had long signed a treaty between themselves to gain peace.
Ray reading this scoffed, peace wasn't a word that you could toss around casually and this world seemed to think that this treaty would be upheld forever.
'What a bunch of pansies.' Ray sneered as the faint image of his own sword in his gut replayed in his mind as his teammates blurred faces watched on.
It seemed over time he gradually forgot what they looked like as he grew older in this new life. But his rage was still there, he wouldn't allow anyone to betray him again, hell he wouldn't trust anyone to even get to that point.
Pulling out a new book with just enough effort to have the book drop to the floor in front of him. Ray saw that this world much like his old one had magi.
>>
[Magi]
- being a pure energy that one can either produce or draw out from around them to use it in what many people would call "magic"]
>>
Only in this world there was a slight problem, in their studies of magi, maybe it wasn't a problem but rather they hadn't figured out all the principles of magi- Looking at it now and the diagram of a demons inner circuitry veins were magi is stored and produced to extrude from the body when called upon. He noticed that they focused on cores but they only had one core?
>>
[Cores & Circuitry veins]
- Cores are the makings and storing for magi
- Circuitry veins help move the magi around to the cores
- when harmonised magi can be utilised effectively.
>>
In his past life he had five cores that he'd store magi in and use at will, if he ever needed a power booster he'd simply connect all five together and harmonise his circuitry veins to wherever the boost was needed.
Like speed for example, if he needed more speed he would connect all five cores to course through his circuitry to his legs and pour out the mass amount of magi to travel at the speed of light.
'With enough training one could maybe go back in time by a few seconds'.
Thinking about it and reading it, Ray thought he should start his foundation while young. Although his revenge may never be a thing now he'd never let anyone be above him in terms of strength and wits. He'd be number 1 in this life too.
= Later that day =
'Alright no more, there's no way I can do it anymore'
Although Ray had a shaky start to his foundation of his cores and opening his circuitry veins. He'd made two small cores after opening his veins and decided he'd store up magi slowly over time by pulling it forth from around him and converting it into his cores in a way that wouldn't have his tiny body explode with so much pure energy.
His nanny watched on, Ray seemed to look odd on the floor with a book on top of him. But she didn't bother the young prince until it was time for dinner and Ray was then lifted off the ground and taken to the dining room where the king table and his family awaited to enjoy supper together.
"Ray! My beautiful tiny munchie!" Cried out Martha in pure happiness, after all, Ray was her youngest and was quite the talk of the kingdom these days for reasons unknown to Ray.
"Look at you, you are growing up so fast" in mock sadness his mother looked to be weeping but rather she was merely pulling her husbands leg as her other children had long dug into their food.
"He's such a little runt" spoke Sythron as Sythen snickered as if he knew what Sythron really thought about their younger brother.
"Well I think he's adorable, he has father's eyes too" spoke up Viola as she watched on delicately cutting her human heart on a plate and eating it nicely.
'As demons we require at least one human every 5 months, it was Viola's turn this month to partake in human flesh and organs. A disgusting thing to have to deal with, especially since I know I'll have to do the same'.
Thinking about that was a foul taste on the tongue and surprisingly it wasn't because of the breast milk.
