MUSHOKU TENSEI X KING OF HEROS

1. GATE OF BABYLON.

A Thunderstorm night, Rumbled quietly in the distance, with occasional flashes of lightning illuminating the room. Every once in a while the wooden floor beneath will creaked as footsteps passed by his room, Within a room a faint red hue light illuminated a corner of the room. That light came from a baby crib. An infant sleeping peacefully with tiny strands of blonde hair. The infant had red lines and glowing marks that seemed to appear across his body. The Infants' eyes slowly opened, A red-colored eye had a cold gaze, Not a single thought behind those eyes. The footsteps outside the infant's room became closer and closer until they stopped right outside the door. The door handle slowly turned as the door creaked opening to see a black figure hidden by the shadows.

The black figure slowly made its way toward the infant, The red lines from the infant's body intensified, casting an eerie pulsing light that slowly became brighter every time the black figure became closer to the infant. When the black figure was right in front of the crib they made eye contact. The baby's red eyes stare daggers at a black mask. The infant's gaze seemed impossibly intense for someone so small. The black figure flinched, as though those red eyes could pierce through their soul.

The figure got a pocket knife opening swiftly and fast, The infant's eyes began to glow. The figure strikes fast and quickly hoping to reach the infant. But before the figure could even reach past the railings of the crib. A golden portal manifested out of thin air slowly came out a dagger and shot forward like a bolt of lightning. Within a second the dagger impaled the figure's arm, With a sickening sound of flesh being torn apart. This caused them to cry out in pain. Blood splattered across the floor as the force of the projectile sent the figure stumbling backward, Clutching their arm.

The sound of the screams alerts the household. As lights can be seen turning on in the hallway. The figure tries to make a run for it but the mysterious portals aren't done. Not yet. Two other portals appeared around the baby crib. Each had a spear slowly coming out, Aiming directly at the intruder, Who was slowly trying to nudge open the window. Just as the baby blinked. The spears launched themselves like projectiles. Each one hits the leg, Starting from the back and coming out at the other side.

The Intruder, Falls to the ground, Screaming in agony, As more portals appear around the crib, With more swords slowly coming out, But not shooting. The intruder tries to crawl to the door But is stopped by an older man, The baby's Father.

Just as the lights were turned on, it was more than obvious the intruder was.

— The baby's mother. Her eyes wide in panic and desperation, she was on the floor, while her husband was in the door frame, By this time the young powerful infant, was lying down towards the door frame, watching his very mother crawl to her husband, leaving a stream of blood, But the baby didn't cry. It stared with its cold gaze its eyes glistening with that red orbs.

The mother, her voice weak and raspy reached out to her husband, "Please... help me... Don't let me die here..."

The husband clenched his fist, jaw wide open with shock. "How.. how could this happen?" His voice cracked in disbelief as he stared at his bleeding wife, but his feet refused to move.

The mother in fear of her child, looks back. Making eye contact with the infant in that very second a connection sparked, More portals appeared around the infant, and the red lines around the infant glowed once again.

More swords of all kinds appeared once again, The baby having a distant memory of his father. "??? once you grow up make sure to always finish your enemies so they can never come back"

As that memory played over and over again it was as if the portals were listening, As the swords slowly pulled out of the portal aiming directly at the mother.

The husband finally has the guts to move, rushing toward his wife trying his fastest to get her up. Just as he was carrying her away, Portals with chains came out, wrapping themselves around the mother's legs and arms. "Yanking" her back into the room with a deadly force. She screamed, her voice echoing throughout the town.

The husband stood frozen, A portal materialized the weapon barely visible inside. Aiming directly at the mother across the room. The mother screamed once more, both eyes of terror. The father bolted towards the infant to stop the massacre. But as he dashed forward The weapon launched from the portal with lightning speed piercing through his chest on its way to the mother.

The father choked on his breath, The spear continued its deadly path impaling the mother as she collapsed beside him.

The infant's glowing red lines stopped glowing as the room fell silent, leaving the only sound of rain tapping on the window. The golden spear and chains shimmered before vanishing retreating to where ever it came from.

The infant's eyes grew heavy as it fell asleep from the scene.

hours later...
~~~

The storm settled, leaving a calm mist over the area. The glow of the morning sun casts over the window, shining on the infant's eyes. Outside, The sound of horses and hurried footsteps approached. The authorities were alerted by the blood scream earlier in the night. Arrived at the house.

They could be heard knocking on the door banging louder and louder, But of course no one answered. The only people who could are in a deep sleep.

Voice 1: YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO OPEN UP OR WE WILL USE FORCE

The footsteps became closer and closer until they finally reached the scene.

Several armored men, Gasping at the terrifying sight. The bodies of the mother and father lay lifeless on the bloodstained floor. One of the guards carefully approached the crib, finding the infant asleep.

Guard 1: "This child..." One of the guards whispered, "How could he be in the middle of all this?"

Guard 2: "His just a baby," Another guard said, shaking his head in disbelief. "No infant could have done this"

They finally picked up the baby from the crib, his eyes slowly opened red orbs staring into the guards, But not a single sound escaped the infant.

His cold gaze soulless and empty. Still, no one suspected an infant to be able to murder 2 grown adults. Instead a rumor started to spread, An hidden attacker on the loose.

Guard 3: "We should send him to the orphanage," Another guard suggested, They all nodded in unison. With that they covered the bodies in blankets. "No child should witness such things"

The infant was carried out of the house, carried in the arms of a guard.
