Kapitel 1: prologue
In a well-known busy hospital, the heart-clenching sound of wailing echoed through the emergency room. A code blue alert that was constantly being broadcast caused several doctors and nurses to rush into a room. Multiple onlookers gathered in the hallway, hindering the path of medical staff. The nurse, looking stern, quickly notified security guards about the problem.
"What is this? Do they come to watch a show?"
Under her breath, she voiced her complaints.
It was bad enough that the patient's relatives had disturbed other patients and medical staff with their crying and shouting, but where on earth did those onlookers come from?
"Make way, move!"
As the security guards evacuated people, they forced their way into the front of the room.
"What happened? Is the patient some famous actor or something? "
" Of course not! He is just a typical 40-something man! "
" So what is the fuss?"
In response, the nurse shrugged her shoulders.
She found it to be a mystery as well.
The man was already unconscious when he was taken to the hospital due to trauma to his head. It seemed that he had gone hiking in his house's backyard on an isolated mountain and fell into a snowslide. He was discovered by his older son, unaware of how many hours had passed, at a time when his body had become cold and his pulse was weak.
Upon her first sight of the patient, she was evoked by the image of a frozen prince in an ice casket because of his excessive paleness and white colour on his beautiful face.
The most unbelievable part was how young he looked, considering his twenty-something son was anxiously following him. Had she not been aware, she would have assumed they were brothers.
Suddenly, a young man pushed aside everyone and stormed in front of the room, yelling for his dad with a broken voice and a tearful face. The nurse frowned in displeasure due to his histrionic act. Before she had a chance to reprimand the young man, a strong slap hit the young adult's right cheek.
"Calm down, YuZe! Your frantic act will not help our dad!"
The crying boy was scolded by a young man with a cold temperament.
Ren Mengsheng, 22 years old, was the son of one of the most prominent families in the capital. He had a tall figure with a slim physique and broad shoulders. The curly black hair and black eyes contrasted against his pale skin.
It was widely accepted among the wealthy and affluent that his icy demeanour would not alter even if faced with a dying child. However, his complexion was now displaying intense sadness and anxiety.
His father and his younger brother were all members of their family. Until a week ago, they had no idea about their mother and her whereabouts. Whenever they inquired about her with their father, they were met with silence and profound sorrow. Eventually, neither of them mentioned their mother's topic.
The announcement of their father's retirement and the transfer of everything to them brought about a change in everything. The first document they received from the lawyers was regarding their lack of blood relation to their father.
It seemed that their mother was an orphan and got pregnant right after graduation from high school. Their biological father was the son of a prominent family from another city who had been disowned. Ren Mengsheng was unconcerned with these two people whom he had never met or received any kind of love or presence in his twenty-something years. In place of that, he had a greater interest in learning why and how their kind and handsome dad adopted and raised them with care. Raising two toddlers while a teenager and settling in the capital city was a very challenging task.
The response he received consisted solely of two words:
Family friend.
Their father's evasive behaviour had become too much for him to handle, and they had a major argument for the first time. The last words he spoke to his father were harsh and hurtful.
After expressing a need to cool down, their father left the house and went to a remote location. YuZe wished to join him, but he prevented him from doing so.
Ren Mengsheng struggled to comprehend the peculiar actions of their adopted father. It was unprecedented for a 17-year-old boy who had no money or family to suddenly relocate to the capital city and raise two unrelated children with total devotion. All the stories he had heard about their father's young version didn't describe him as any type of delinquent or thug.
He was a healthy smart teenager with a registration book. If he handed them to the government and went his separate way, he could have been more successful and carefree. Maybe he would even find love and get married and have his own children.
Why should he bear the burden of raising them and endure all the pain along the way? Was he a masochist?
Exhausted by his brain's struggle to connect the dots and irritated by his wacky assumption, he headed to his father's remote residence.
Following a week of not contacting him, he abruptly visited to inquire about his dad's true reason. The thrill he experienced was greater than unfolding the mystery.
Taking a deep breath and signalling his secretary, Ren Mengshen attempted to soothe his violent temper.
"Disperse the irreverent individuals from the hospital."
In addition to the gang members, there were a significant number of people who were indebted to their father and rushed to the hospital when they heard the news. The Tiger Gang leader's popularity was a source of concern for the police force and political figures in the city.
The fact that the main character had no idea about it was absurd!
Well, it was due to his devoted subordinates that everything was in order and the man hadn't felt the pressure from the police or other powerful forces.
The hallway was finally peaceful and quiet once all the people were withdrawn. Nevertheless, the nerve-wracking waiting became even more intense due to it.
Mengsheng experienced an emotional roller coaster ride before the emergency room door was opened. Upon gazing into the doctor's eyes, he was aware of the outcome. Losing all the strength in his legs, he slid down the wall, his head dizzy. YuZe's screaming and blaming him for their father's death were the sole sound he heard.
Throughout the fiasco, no one noticed that the body of the dead man had been pushed away from the hospital, rather than being taken to the morgue.
Kapitel 2: My son is Demon King!
An infamous club in downtown Astra City had a crowd buzzing like a swarm of bees inside a hive. As people danced on stage, the scent of perfumes blended with the sweet smell of dancers. Lights flaring, the music drowning out the sound of young people making out and moaning in a dark corner of the club.
In the midst of it, there was a private room where some famous young figures of the city were gathered.
" Hey, who is that handsome man sitting over there?"
With curiosity, a young boy with red hair asked his companion.
From the moment that the man entered the room, all eyes were on him. His sexy physique was reflected in his tall figure, broad shoulders, strong waist, and long muscular legs. The fashionable style of his jet-black curly hair highlighted his strong jawline and bony cheeks, while his costume-made casual indigo suit further enhanced his fair complexion. His eyes were the most striking aspect of the man. Looking directly at them, the profound coldness and indifference they possess would shake your entire soul to its core. This handsome man just sitting alone on a couch made all the other people look like squids wiggling around him.
The red-haired boy's intense gaze on him was not out of the ordinary.
" Oh, not even five minutes of arriving here and you found your next prey? You better not pry into his business. The last one was kicked out of the city."
The man in a black suit, seated next to the boy, responded with a tone of seriousness and disdain. Alec Bowen, who was labelled as a role model for the young generation, had a reputation for being shrewd and calculating in the business world of Astra City. However, He was faced with a dilemma when he was tasked with babysitting and entertaining an eighteen-year-old boy who was wet behind his ears.
His mother had been nagging him for some time to take this so-called younger brother out. Otherwise, he would not have put himself at risk by bringing this playboy to this gathering.
Being near the famous CEO of Ren company, known as the Demon King, was not something he would enjoy if it was up to him. But The family of this man was the primary beneficiary of all their business deals with his company, with most of his shares being held by him.
Alec looked at the ignorant boy and shook his head.
"Hirvan, I give one piece of advice because my mother likes you so much. Birds of feathers flocked together. Don't even think about hanging yourself on him to gain a foot in this high society. Do you know how many idiots I have seen every day trying to catch the eyes of that man? They all think they are different from others, and they would have a chance. However, all of us mean nothing in the eyes of him. So, you better extinguish that dangerous thought in your head as soon as possible."
" Ummm." The boy just nodded his head in answer, still his gaze focused on the man in the centre of the room.
Alec's blood pressure rose as his words went from his right ear to the left of the boy without any impact. He opened his mouth to chastise the boy more harshly when a commotion happened across from them.
A young girl was pushed to the floor while a glass of liquor was thrown at her face. Silence fell over the entire room. The sensation of fear in the air was overwhelming. Everyone held their breaths not making a sound. The black hair gorgeous man rose from his seat non-challently and exited the room.
No one came near the girl or offered any assistance to her. With just one action, everyone had excluded the girl from the circle. The cruelty of reality finally was drawn on the girl.
Alec noticed Hirvan trying to go to the embarrassed girl and stopped him with his hand.
His azure eyes showed pure anger and disbelief as the red-haired boy glanced at him.
" Have you forgotten all my warnings from before? To survive in this place, you must read the room!"
Alec unleashed his anger on the boy.
Hirvan was frozen in his seat as his pupils trembled.
' Are you stupid? You are nobody right now! What did you want to do? scolding him for his rude behaviour?' Hirvan criticized himself in his mind.
" Sorry. I'm feeling a bit dizzy. I go take a breath outside."
Hirvan stood up and left the private room in a hurry.
' What am I thinking? coming here was a mistake! He would never recognize me!'
He struggled to breathe due to the intense sadness.
' Where is the exit?'
Hirvan searched for it in the swarm of people desperately, Even though he knew this place like the back of his hand. He was not in the right state of mind and accepting he become a stranger to his family and friends was still a big blow to him.
' ah, finally…'
The cold breeze cleared his muddy head like a magic trick. Hirvan grabbed the iron railing and leaned on it.
"Hey, check it out. Some idiot is finishing his pathetic life over there! Do you think he confessed his love and was brutally rejected?"
It was voiced in a snarky manner.
"You are utterly heartless! By saying that you are rubbing salt on his wounds!"
Another one followed the ridiculousness while laughing loudly.
A woman meddled in their conversion.
" I think he is drunk! Come on guys, grab him before he falls off from there!"
"Are you not familiar with this place, Lucy? This is something that happens frequently in this type of club. Otherwise, it wouldn't be known to Slaughterhouse in the city!"
" What?"
" This place is full of prostitutes and gamblers lurking to find a wealthy person to suck off the money out of them."
" Oh my God! Why did the club allow them to enter?"
" There is a rumour that the owner of the club was once also the same as them!"
"Unbelievable! All of his luck was likely utilized throughout his past and future lives!
Hirvan's face was filled with a mocking smile as the conversation moved further and further away from him.
" Those fucking morons hadn't changed one bit! Still clinging to taunt me even after my death!"
He murmured in disgust.
About two weeks ago, he discovered that he was in the body of a young boy who had the same name as his former identity, Hirvan Smith.
The realness of everything was proven to him by being hugged by a crying mother and not-so-excited siblings. Although he had a great deal of guilt for occupying someone else's body, he was thrilled to be alive again.
The way he had died was too abrupt and painful for him and others. In the hope of catching a glimpse of his two idiot sons, he had tried to come back to this sinful city through any means necessary.
Well, the first one was a disappointment. His boy, who was once cute and sunny, had transformed into a demon lord! It was only two months after his death, but he couldn't even recognize his son!
' oh, it is a mess!'
Hirvan tugged his red hair out of frustration.
'Who would accept an eighteen-year-old boy to be his father?'
'What should I do? I want to be near them. They are my treasure.'
The sadness of partying ways with them brought tears to his eyes.
'Should I just let them go? Watching only on the sideline? Or forcing myself into their lives again?
Ah, Rosaline…
I wish you were here with me, guiding me again to make the right choice.'
Standing alone on the rooftop of the club, Hirvan felt lonelier than before his death.
The world is truly a cruel place...
