A/N: I haven't written any chapters yet due to defending the research paper in college. But now that classes have ended, I can finally write!

Here's a short chapter for now.

I am Kazuma Satou, well, my former name that is. Or is it? I don't know.

Why is that? Because I'm getting reincarnated! And in a fantasy world of magic and monsters!

How did that happen, you ask?

Well, long story short, I died. My life subscription got terminated by a speeding truck while I heroically saved a young girl in the highway. Since it was on the highway and the truck was really fast, according to common sense, I'll die.

But! For such heroic deeds, I met with a goddess! An actual goddess! Although I got the feeling she bribed her way to become a goddess, but who cares!

I got sidetracked but, in summary, this fantasy world is being threatened by the Demon Lord, killing a lot of people. The dead people get sent there, but they refuse to reincarnate back to their world as they don't want to go through that again.

Meaning less babies get produce shrinking the population until there is none left. So, they made a rule to transport those that died young with a powerful special ability, talent, or legendary item. Hoping these potential heroes be the ones that end the reign of terror from the Demon Lord.

And I was now joining these potential heroes with my special ability: Metamagic.

I chose this ability because it's common sense to get a magical ability in a fantasy world. How would I enjoy being there if I can't use magic?

Why not an item? Well, what would happen if I lose it or it got stolen? Then I'll be powerless! Unless it's a part of the plot. But who's careless enough to lose their legendary item in the first place. Maybe some dumb kid with a hero complex.

Returning back to the topic in hand.

Its effects, well, it allows me to casually adjust a spell from its core or its casting. Making a single spell having multiple variants, like a Fireball turning into a Fire Cannon, this ability makes me the Mage of Versatility!

Hmm, hmm, I'm taking that title later.

After I accepted this, a magic circle appeared on my feet and the goddess bid me good luck.

"Kazuma Satou. I will now send you to this new world, as one of the candidates for the hero who will defeat the Demon Lord. Whensoever you should do so, you will receive a gift from the gods."

"A gift...?" I asked. What can that be?

"Yes. One commensurate with the worth of a world saved. We, the gods will grant any one thing you should ask."

"Cool!"

Meaning I can get any wish I want after beating the Demon Lord!

While I was thinking what kind of wish I'll get, the light engulfed me, flooding my vision with its vibrant single coloration.

I can feel my body floating weightlessly, in a hypothetical empty void. Until I feel myself being tucked by a powerful force.

"Uwah?"

I opened my eyes to see two individuals, one is currently holding me in her arms and the other is washing a piece of cloth in a bucket of water. But both of them look very attractive, has black hair and crimson eyes.

But why does the one carrying me seem to be glowing though...?

"Darling, it's a boy!" The woman who was carrying me said. I surprisingly understood what she was saying. Probably one of the blessings from the gods.

"Dear! I arrived to request an audience with my son!"

Oh, now a man burst out from the door. He is above average in terms of looks but is really tall, has black hair and crimson eyes. And it is also glowing...

Wait! Does that mean that my eyes can also glow as well?! Say no more.

While I was cheering mentally, the man walked towards the location where I was being held, the woman held me down to what appears to be the bed and stood near the man.

Then all of the sudden...

"I am Lanifura, the daughter of the greatest farmer of the Crimson Demons. She, who one day, shall command the fields!"

"I, Juagakai, the son of the wealthiest wandering troupe of the Crimson Demons. He, who has mastered trickery and sleight of hands!"

"Ugwah."

I can't help but groan. I wish I couldn't understand them at all. I'll ignore the names for now, those are probably their Chunni nicknames. But I can't help myself with what I have seen. They appeared to be trying to imitate a Jojo-esque pose. But they are doing it horribly!

This is an insult of the highest order!

Hmmph! Even if I am an infant, I'll show you a proper Jojo pose!

"Uwah!"

Although I can't do much as an infant, I tried replicating Jotaro's pose, the one where you held your hand like a gun. I chose this pose as it looks like a badass as well as a placeholder for a police officer since I'm arresting them for the crime of not properly replicating the Jojo pose well!

"Darling! Our son is truly a Crimson Demon!"

"I agree with you, my dear! Behold! For our childling is doing his best to introduce himself!"

Nevermind. They just got excited from that. Is this how I looked like from other's perspective?

Nah, I looked cool.

"Now, dear, what should his name be?"

A name huh? Please make it sound cool. And not the nicknames you two have.

"Dear, it shall be grandiose, perhaps, we should name him—"

"—Darling! There's a name near his tattoo! It says 'Kazuma Satou.' Darling! Perhaps our child is the reincarnation of a Dark God! Or maybe the First Crimson Demon considering the actions he made after being born!"

While my father is about to propose something, he was interrupted from the information he got from my mother.

A tattoo, wait, did the goddess-that-bribed-her-way-to-godhood tattooed my name?

Well, that's okay. I'm used to others calling me by my name. But what kind of things are running in the mind of my mother for reaching those conclusions? Is she high or something?

"Dear, perhaps this is a sign that our child will be the next Hero, or perhaps the Demon Lord, or perhaps the one that shall rule all!"

My father roared with such vigor that he may have shake the room.

I take back what I said. Both of them are high. Whatever smoke you're smoking father of mine, please throw it away.

"Then your name shall be Kazuma Satou of the Crimson Demons!"

With that, the start of my new life begins...
