Inside a hospital, a blonde woman could be seen holding a baby boy while laying on the hospital bed looking at him with her blue eyes.

[ It has been 9 months since I last saw him and 9 months since the day I failed and paid the price.
And now here I'm holding you in my arms...
as a reminder of my failure but also as my only hope for revenge…
The demon spawn the bastard but in me, that I had to carry all this time. At first, I wanted to kill it but I decided on using it instead.
After all, what could kill a monster but one of its kind.
But I feel conflicted, hesitant. I have never been like this before so why...]
as my thoughts were running wild in my head he opened his eyes, blue just like mine.
As he looked around, so curious and innocent [nothing like that demon's eyes] I thought and as he looked around our eyes met and I saw myself and I understood why I was so hesitant…
[they look just like mine ...
your no demon spawn or monster your just a baby, my baby and what kind of mother would push her child into danger]
As I thought to myself I felt tears run down my face, tears of regret that I may never get my revenge but also relief and hope that maybe things will be alright.
As I was looking at my baby I heard the door open and a nurse walked in.
nurse "are you okay? , is everything alright"
"yeah I'm fine nothing is wrong"
She looked at me for a minute before she continued.
nurse "will good news is the baby is completely healthy and will grow up big and strong"
"good," I said as I played with him and smiled nurse "what's his name"
"Jack his name is Jack"

As I felt myself waking up and I opened my eyes and started looking around the room [ looks like I'm still at the hospital ] I thought then I turned to look at my new mother and as our eyes met I saw so many emotions in her eyes.
I have never been good at relating to other people's emotions but her's were just so strong and so raw that with just one look I could understand how she was feeling.
[Has she been bottling up her emotions?] I thought but that didn't last long as I was interrupted by the sound of the door as a nurse walked in and started talking with my mother.
As they talked I briefly glanced at my system screen, it had 3 tabs one was named skills and another one was inventory and the last one was the customization tap.
It had a picture of me in it as well as a side panel that looked like it was from a drawing app with a colour wheel and some drawing tools.
[As I guessed it looks like a mix between the crazy levelling system and the one from custom-made demon king].
as I was in the middle of checking the skills tab I heard the nurse say something that made me chuckle a bit.
nurse "The good news is the baby is completely healthy and will grow up big and strong".
[oh you have no idea how right you are] I thought as I went back to checking my system.
Yukon, Canada.
On a cold winter's day, a two-storey house could be seen covered in snow but the warm glow of light could still be seen through the window.

I look up from my book at the calendar on my desk "so it has already been 15 years huh... time sure flies by when you're busy" I say to myself as I remember the past couple of years.
I stand up and look at myself in the mirror, I am pretty tall for my age being 5,8 with blue eyes and blonde hair. I keep short with a body packed with muscle due to all my training.
I kept myself busy the last couple of years I spent my first 10 years learning
languages and different subjects were easy considering my system so I still had lots of free time to spend with mom and socialise.
I mostly did that because I wanted to live my life instead of just being constantly on the grind. The only reason I even did start learning was that it was fun in the first place.
I also picked up drawing as a hobby even if it was out of necessity more than anything else, but I did come to enjoy it due to how good I got at it but then again I excel at most activities given enough time.
I truly started getting busy when I became 10 and started practising sports and hitting the gym. I started with wrestling then went on to boxing and then judo.
I do plan on starting muay thai soon but not before I reach a level I'm satisfied with in judo thinking that I take a look at my skills.
looking at it all of my language-related skills are maxed out with the highest level skill being common ones like writing and running.
My fighting skills still need work, most of them being in the 50 to 60 range; they were quite hard to level up after that point.
Mostly due to lack of opponents you can only beat someone so many times before they start giving you 1xp for the skill.
But on the brighter side, the stored exp that I receive from beating someone doesn't go down.
It's fixed based on the strength of your opponent so I got myself a good amount of exp over those 5 years.
I used most of them to apply what I like to call traits from (increased muscle density) to (faster reaction speeds).
I had to do it this way because making super soldier serums and the like would have been too expensive and I don't have enough XP to make a DNA lock without it looking suspicious as to why my DNA couldn't be read.
I still remember how they tried to clone yujiro and I don't know if they did it or not. I died before that plot point came into use so I changed my body directly instead of making serums and just made drugs to speed up muscle growth and recovery.
as I was thinking I heard mom's voice from downstairs "jack I need you to shovel the driveway".
"Coming," I said as I headed down the stairs only to be met with flying confetti and my mom singing happy birthday.
"you know you didn't have to right?" I said with a smile as I went to hug her.
"Oh stop acting like you're in your 40s you're just a kid," she said while hugging me back [well technically I'm in my 40s] I thought.
"Now grab some plates while I cut the cake" she said "alright".
As we were eating the cake I looked at her with a serious face and said "mom I wanted to tell you something" she looked up "what's with that face you got a girl pregnant or something".
chock... cough
"WHAT no, where did that even come from?" I asked while trying to drink some water.
"Oh don't look so surprised you think I don't know about all the girls at your school" she said to me while smirking.
"It's nothing like that. I promise I don't even have a girlfriend" I reply.
"And that's nothing to brag about but alright what is it then" she said with a sigh "I will head to Japan in five years".
"Jack no we talked about this" she said standing up and glaring at me
"mom this isn't about that, I need to know besides you said that I had a brother and I want to meet him" I say to her while frowning
we stay like that for a minute before she sighs "jack I just don't want you to get hurt you're the only family I have".
"And I won't and I will come back I promise beside you know how strong I'm" I say while hugging her.
"Fine but you better prepare yourself because I will make sure that you train your ass off for those five years" she said sternly "yes sir" I say giving her a mock salute.
"Now go shovel the driveway the snow is Piling outside" she told me "alright alright you starting to nag a lot in your old age" I say as I head to the garage "who are you calling old!!" she yells as she throws a piece of cake at me.
SMACK
"hah you missed" I laugh while running outside
Well, that is the second chapter complete.
As you can see I'm struggling a bit with the format of the dialogue so if anyone has some suggestions please leave a comment.
I tried two kinds so please tell me which one is better.
Well that's all for now, have a beautiful day
