…

Oh damn, that's a lot of Stats bonuses!

But can I max another Path Jewel? I think I Can't…

Should I wait or should I spend Divine Skill Points to get some to Demigod?

Hm… Though it would be nice to simply wait… Decisions, decisions…

I guess I can wait for tomorrow to get more daily Divine Skill Points, no need to rush so much.

Then, I will just take a bath and relax for now…

I might spend the rest of the day preparing and using my abilities to train and get used to them a bit, perhaps…

(Brontes POV)

Fragments of my past life memory rush through my mind.

I see what I lived before vividly now, as I have recollected all of such fragments and arranged them.

However, I am not the same I used to be…

I am not the same as that life.

I was reborn now, and anew.

What I am now is not the same I used to be.

I guess… that past will be left in the past.

I could probably not even care about revenge at this point, I even have a daughter and someone that loves me unconditionally… no matter the fucked up first life I had.

My daughter and she are probably the biggest emotional supports of my life, alongside all of the girls and the beautiful children all of them had with her.

They are my precious family… Without them, I am not the same.

To think that I would become so sentimental…

I used to be rather cold in my first life, or more than cold, just naïve.

There's certainly way more than just revenge in life.

Revenge against an ancient enemy, an ancient evil that might not even remember my name nor my face.

Well, I have changed a lot now, so I don't even know if I remember him all that well either, he might have changed through all of these years as well.

I have long surpassed these traumas and fears within my heart, she helped me get through them with her tender love and understanding.

And my precious little girl healed the last little scars with her love and innocence… She is the greatest reason in my life, the thing I always think of every day when I wake up aside from her, perhaps way more than her…

My little girl, I never stop thinking about you.

You are developing so fast, every day I can see you growing bigger…

One part of myself can't wait to see you grow up into a mature woman, while the other part of me doesn't want to see your age so fast…

My precious little girl…

I love you so much…

I live for you.

I go through these memories thanks to you and her… You two are the most precious things in my life.

My sun and my moon.

Without you, I cannot find the path at day nor night.

Essential to me like breathing and eating.

Without you, I would have never been able to get through such memories when I regained them.

That life… was nothing but a bitter twist of tragedies.

Happiness and sorrow go hand in hand in life.

And in that life… there was always sorrow, but when there was too much sorrow, there was also happiness sprinkled.

Father… Every time I recall my memories I remember you.

I love you so much…

Father…

I stop myself from growing sorrowful, as I know that he is now resting in peace.

She said that souls are reincarnated through a transmigration cycle, whenever my father's soul went, he has most likely reincarnated already somewhere…

I hope that wherever you are, that you can find happiness, father.

There's no day where I don't remember everything you taught me.

You protected me… from him and them…

From the nemesis of our race.

The abyssal one, the crimson-eyed.

Vretrion.

From what you told me, since the moment he was born that he was different than the rest.

Unlike the old Copper Cyclops, he was black like charcoal… no, like the abyss itself.

His hair was silverly-white, and his eye crimson-colored.

He had a large horn over his forehead, pointing to the heavens.

His strangeness impacted the tribe at that time, and even a tale about the birth of the son of the moon was made within the tribe.

Since he was born that he possessed powerful and strange abilities, he was stronger than the rest and grew stronger quite fast as well.

But unlike our humble race that was not true giants and could only get up to 2 meters, he grew bigger and bigger…

He keeps growing, and quickly outgrowth the children that were born near his birthday.

He became so big that he didn't have anywhere to sleep.

However, he was strong and with his strength and size, he protected the tribe.

But that ended quite soon, as he was betrayed.

A faction of our tribe hated him for being different, for having a different skin color, for being enormous and stronger than anyone.

They ostracized him, but he often did not mind.

Until that day that my father told me…

The day that his mother, the one he held the dearest, was killed.

Due to his former gentleness, everyone always thought that he was timid and stupid, but that day is when everything changed.

Although he was prideful of his power, it was more like… he became wrathful.

He became a monster, awakened a power that shouldn't belong to a mortal, and massacred everyone.

The day that his only emotional pilar faded before his eyes were when Vretrion showed the true monster he was.

But I don't blame it, if I were in his situation, I would do the same.

This is why… there's this strange feeling of both hate and understanding that Vretrion always gave to me.

I always felt strange fighting him… perhaps I doubted.

Deep down I knew that it was the fault of our very tribe that he became like this.

But because he had taken so many innocent lives that had nothing to do with the death of his mother, we had to act…

In the end, he escaped when I was just a little baby, and came back when I was a little girl, with his children.

And all of them were giant like him, strong and monstrous.

In a day, we lost everything.

My father grabbed me, and we ran away for our lives, my mother had gone to defend the tribe and died fighting…

Father protected me and nurtured me ever since then.

I lived many years preparing for the day we would one day fight against him.

It was, after all, my destiny.

I had become a paw of the Gods, and so did Vretrion.

I was a Heroine, and he was a Realm Menace.

By the threads of fate, we were destined to fight and kill each other in a decisive battle.

I had no choice, I was not able to fight against my destiny.

Nor I wanted to run away either, I didn't care whatever background he had, his people killed my mother, and that meant that I was going to kill him.

As simple as that.

Kill this, kill that.

The world is simple, it revolves all-around who kills the other first.

I trained and fell in love with one of my tribes, we had children, many… I miss and remember each one of their names.

Pipke, Raban, Dala, Merecia, Tenerila, Ganalad…

These names were made through the language of our tribe, it meant many things, valiant, kind-hearted, brave, strong, perseverant, and more…

My precious babies…

Thinking about all of them being gone fills me with bitter sorrow.

I hope your souls are happy, whenever you are, my precious children…

Rest at ease.

Your stupid and useless mother will finally get things done for once…

Vretrion, I feel like I both pity you and hate you.

But my hate is stronger than my pity, so very stronger.

I am going to crush you until you scream in agony.

I will make you feel all the pain you caused to my tribe.

I feel bad for what they did to your mother, but that doesn't mean I will forgive you for what you did to my family.

We are going to settle things down for once, you and me.

And I am not alone.

I have built a family, have a daughter, and someone that loves me back.

I couldn't ask for anything else.

This is enough for me to be happy.

But you… You are that thing that keeps bothering me.

Just knowing that a bastard like you is still alive sickens me.

How long have you lived?

You are true quite the monster…

But don't worry… I am quite the monster as well. Oh yes, I have become an even worst monster, Vretrion.

And like the monsters we are, we are going to fight to the death.

But I am not planning on losing.

I am going to win.

I know I am going to win.

Because I am not alone.

At that time we lost even as many, but this is different now.

I bet you have become something of a God, right?

Well, I have also become a Demigoddess.

I am not the same as before, I said it before, and I will repeat it to myself.

I am not the same as before.

This rage fuels my heart, this calm anger that drives me to battle.

I will show you this anger, this hatred.

I will make sure to make you recognize me as a threat and not as the ant you crushed back then.

Vretrion, you will finally feel fear.

I promise that to you.

My dear old bastard.

I open my eyes as my wife scratches my back, we were taking a bath… right…

"Brontes? Is there something you want to tell me?" she asks.

I smile… it is probably something she already knows.

I move towards her as I glance at her beautiful face…

She's so beautiful…

I kiss her like I always do.

"E-Eh? What with the kiss?"

"I love you…" I said.

"O-Oh… I love you too…" she said, hugging me.

With this, I am happy.
