It had been a month since my reincarnation, and there was no doubt that this life was much more enjoyable than I expected.
Since my body wasn't required to get injected with several doses of various medicines and twelve tablets every day at designated times only to barely function as a below-average person, it brought a lot of peace to my mind.
But still, it took a while to get accustomed to being a newborn child.
On the bright side, one of the few things that was easy to get accustomed to was having my mother breastfeed me.
Don't get me wrong—there were no ulterior motives involved whatsoever. Regardless of how beautiful of a woman Rayla was, I felt no sexual attraction towards her, not even mentally. My main reason for happiness was being able to consume sugar without restraints, something I hadn't done in over a decade.
On the even brighter side, a funny yet entertaining incident happened a few days ago.
When my parents were out, I started throwing a tantrum to mess with my caretaker Tsunade, who had no idea what was wrong with me.
Yes you gessed it right. It is that Tsunade but here as a Rabbit Yokai devil servant.
At first I was also shocked to see Tsunade here but my mischief get better off me.
At first, Tsunade did something that surprised me a little. She transformed into my mother, trying to calm me down. But contrary to her expectations, my crying got even louder.
Looking at how her transformation backfired, she transformed back to her original self, only to do something no one had ever expected.
After she pondered for a few seconds, Tsunade started to loose her obi and green kimono and stripping out of her white boluse, revealing her bare upper body to my eyes before allowing me to suck on her lovely ample breasts.
No, she wasn't into kids, which could be understood by how she behaved. However, since such a feast was presented to me, refusing would've been rude.
It was every naruto fan's dream to have Tsunade, so I accepted graciously. Thank you God.
*SHING!!*
"Uaa!" Fuck! I forgot I can't call out Big G openly.
From what the Great Sage told me, Tsunade was a virgin, which was pretty easy to tell from how she reacted while I was sucking her breasts.
This time, there were ulterior motives involved.
Wait, no. I am getting sidetracked.
During the past month, there were a lot of things I learned about the Phenex Clan and this world in general. Something not described in novel or anime.
The first thing was that Humans and Devils were very different despite how close their biological makeup was.
Even as a one-month-old toddler, my body could do things that would take human babies at least a year to learn.
For example, a newborn Devil could lift his head for minutes without trouble, even if he was recently born, something that was impossible for human babies.
And their attention span wasn't that of a goldfish, either. Although it wasn't even a tenth of my previous self, it was enough to calculate simple mathematical problems and move around my demonic power.
The second thing was about my family.
Apart from Ruval, I had another older brother, Rubel Phenex, who was the middle child in this case, and from what our mother said, the one who named him was our father, which made me thankful that she was the one who decided my name.
For all we knew, my father could have named me Ramon Phenex, which would have been disastrous.
Father's naming sense was as terrible as that of Ruval, my eldest brother, who suggested the name Ravul.
Seriously at least try some creativity other than re-arrange your own name! For God's sake!
"Aww!" Fuck this! Not again!
That aside, Ruval was the heir of Phenex Clan but he wasn't married, unlike Rubel, who was happily married.
To be honest, 'Happily Married' might be a bit of an understatement, considering Rubel has a harem... But still, the birthrate within the Devil race must be too low since he has nineteen wives but still no children...
'Then again, my father has seven wives but only has three kids and all with my mother, so it might just be the quality and compatibility...'
Thanks to that, an entertaining piece of information was made clear.
For Pure Blooded Devils like me, it was a common occurrence to have a harem, and now, there was one more thing for me to look forward to, other than my research.
There was also the thing about Ruval being a big shot in the underworld who would soon to be promoted as a Ultimate Class Devil officially, as he was one of the top 10 rankers of the Rating Game. Thanks to that, even though our family rank was of the Marquis in devil's council, our status within the Underworld wasn't any lower than that of the families who once produced the current devil kings.
While we were on the subject of the Devil Kings, I also met Sirzechs Lucifer, the current leader of the Four Great Satans, and his wife, Grayfia Lucifuge, Ajuka Beelzebub along with Serafall Leviathan and Falbium Asmodeus.
From how excited Serafall was, it wouldn't be surprising if she abducted me one of the days, something I doubt father would mind. He seemed to despise me after I intentionally peed on his lap.
My birthday was also the last day Rubel came to see me, which made me wonder if he went to buy milk, but from how our parents didn't react much, it was easy to guess that satisfying nineteen wives isn't a joke.
A few days after my birth, Lord Astaroth, the current head of the Astaroth Clan, along with his wife and baby son came to congratulate my parents. From what he said, his son's name was Diodora Astaroth, and he looked around the few months older than me.
Who would have thought this cute child will become that much of a twisted degenerate.
Following that, many congratulatory gifts also arrived from different clans, with Vassago, Agares, Gremory, Sitri, and Glasya-Labolas being the most friendly.
The best part was that the one who delivered the gifts from the Sitri Clan was none other than Serafall Leviathan, who was, once again, a bit too excited to see me.
Although Serafall was cute and all, it was still terrifying when she hugged me so hard that I almost choked, and this happened while we were taking a bath together.
Maybe it was because of my state as a newborn, but my mind held no weird thoughts about Serafall—not for now, at least, but she was on my 'Bucket List' for the future along with Tsunade.
After that, my mother had to use an excessive amount of glaring to separate Serafall from me. Although the Leviathan was reluctant, she quietly returned me to my mother after she warned her about never seeing me again.
Serafall was, by far, the cutest yet most terrifying predator I had ever seen.
'I already feel sorry for Serafall's soon-to-come sibling, Sona...'
Moving on to other matters, Tsunade was still around, babysitting me whenever my mother was busy with something else.
She was supposed to stay with me whenever I was alone, at least until my Demonic Power was under my control.
My Demonic Power was already under my perfect control, but that wasn't something my parents were aware of, and the last thing they wanted was for me to get buried under a room I accidentally destroyed.
As time passed, some things about Tsunade became clearer. Although she always had a neutral expression, she was way too attentive to me, spoiling me even more than my mother, letting me suck on her breasts whenever I acted up a little, taking me on strolls around the palace, and telling me stories about this world.
However, there was one weird thing.
Tsunade was a bit too attached to me, like a bro-con sister. Secretly hoping that she wouldn't become an obsessive yandere, I pushed those thoughts to the back of my head.
Tsunade also talked about how she was a 'Reincarnated Devil.' Although I lacked any specific details, my instincts told me that it was something worth my interest.
From her stories, it appeared as if she was three or four decades old, which surprised me. But still, a nearly fifty year-old virgin, it wouldn't be surprising if she was a hidden otaku.
Or maybe a drunkard...
Or gambler...
Never mind.
Thanks to her, I also learned that, right now, Great Sage could only analyse a target's physical condition upon contact. It was this ability that told me about her being a virgin, too. Things like Demonic Power and other stuff related to the supernaturals weren't accessible since we lacked data.
As for this world, it was divided into three major realms: Earth, Heaven, and the Underworld. There was a place called a 'Dimensional Gap' that existed between the different worlds, which I could only imagine as an endless void.
Devils and Fallen Angels were what populated the underworld.
As for the Grim Reapers, they lives in the other side of the boundary of underworld, the realm of the dead, the true hell.
Fallen Angels and Devils had separate domains with little to no interaction between them. As for the Grim Reapers, they lived within the Realm of the Dead under the rule of Hades, the Greek God of Death.
As for Heaven, there were as many Heavens as mythologies, with the Big G's Heaven being one of the most prominent.
And then there was the Human World. High-class devils would often rule over territories within that world, and sometimes, they might even overlap with those of the Church, which was one of the reasons why small-scale conflicts were a regular occurrence.
But generally, Devils and those from the Church wouldn't just attack each other out of nowhere, but each side had some retards in it who would act without thinking about the consequences, so there was that, too.
While playing with my father inside his office, Sebas came to hand him some documents, and those documents made me realise that even though I could understand their language, the writing system was completely different from English. That made me wonder, did everybody use some translation magic to avoid communication barriers?
In the conversation between Rubel and Raymond, they mentioned that Ajuka was the original heir of the Astaroth Clan but that he lost his right to succession after accepting the position of Satan Beelzebub.
And why did Ajuka become a Satan? His only reason was that Sirzechs became one.
Also Sirzechs was also the original heir of Gremory clan but that he lost his right to succession after accepting the position of Satan Lucifer.
As for Rubel, he had no interest in the position of heir, so he stepped back on his own, which solidify Ruval's position as a heir.
I was third in the succession line, with the first being Ruval, the current heir.
But there was a catch to the conventional way of choosing the next heir, and that was for someone from the succession line to challenge the current heir in something that was of value to the Phenex clan, be it strength, intelligence, influence, or some other talent, as long as both participants agreed to it.
Well, not that it held any value to me right now.
The second in line was still Rubel. As the age disparities between us still over more than hundred years.
I was interested in what the world was like in the underworld, but all my hopes went to the nearby trashcan after seeing a modern smartphone in my mother's hand.
The technology in this world was far more advanced than it was supposed to be, which was most likely because of the various races that existed here.
Currently, my mother was having tea with Vanessa. They also invited Tsunade who is my self appointed caretaker.
Although they had offered her to sit with them, Tsunade politely declined.
Sometimes, it felt like she was being too serious.
As for Vanessa, she was my sister-in-law, Rubel's first wife, who also managed his harem. From what she once said, Vanessa was from the Vassago Clan, another one of the 72 Pillars of the Underworld.
Currently, I was sitting on my parent's bed, playing around with some stuffed toys. Tsunade sometimes come and put me in middle of bed whenever I came to the sides.
"Those two get along so well."
"Indeed."
It was a well-known fact that Devils could live for thousands of years, but to me, it was weird to see Vanessa refer to my mother like that. As far as the eye could tell, they looked like sisters.
"By the way, Mother, how are Lady Gremory and Lady Sitri doing?"
It was a known fact that when Sirzechs and Serafall become Devil kings, they discarded the heirship of their own clans.
It was to stabalize the underworld, to solidify the position of Devil kings. At that time if they still attach themselves with their families, it would be seen as favoring one over other. As devil kings the first thing to do is to be neutral.
If the main branch can't produce a heir then they have to surrender their lordship to branch families.
But the irony is Gremory Or Sitri both lost their branch families in civil war. One sided with the Old Satan faction and other killed in the hands of Old Satan faction.
As of since five hundred years ago, the Gremory and Sitri families are still trying, to conceive a heir for their clan.
Well do not worry aunts, your girls are coming soon.
