The Power in the Shadow
Chapter 2 - The New Life of the God of Death

In a hut that almost collapsed there was the sound of baby crying.

Inside the hut were several people, two women and one man. One of the women in the hut had just given birth to a baby.

"That's right, you get boys" said the woman, who is a midwife.

The man holding his wife's hand smiled as he saw his son born healthy.

He then took his son. The baby laughed as he was carried by the man.

Meanwhile, from the baby's vision...

"I was born again?" the inner baby.

The baby could speak because he was the reincarnation of the god of death. The god of death was shocked because he was reborn.

"If it is true that I am reborn, then I will do what I could not do in my previous life." Inner god of death.

The father of the god of death was still carrying him. She looks very happy when her mother smiles to see her husband's behavior.

"Yuichi." said the mother of the god of death in a slow tone.

The father of the god of death smiled at the words of his wife. He looked towards the god of death while giving it a name.

"Your name from now on is Yuichi. Kaneshiro Yuichi." said Yuichi's father.

Yuichi's mother heard her husband's words. Yuichi's mother's name is Atsuko and his father's name is Yoshito.

2 Years have passed...

Every day, Yuichi would cut wood or pick plants near the house. Her mother cleaned the house and prepared meals. His father, too, hunted monsters for food.

"Cruhh!! I've finished cutting down everything

timber. Now I will continue what I haven't finished yet." Yuichi said as he headed to the back of the house.

Arriving there, Yuichi takes a splash of medicine which is a high level poison that he is hiding.

"Alright, time to increase my body's endurance" said Yuichi.

Yuichi went to fetch a cup of water and mixed it with the poison earlier. Then he sat down cross-legged and drank the poison.

"Hmm!!!!" Yuichi wanted to scream in pain but he endured it because it would only add to the pain.

The green veins all over Yuichi's body were nothing but poison. Yuichi's body was also filled with sweat. Yuichi took off his shirt before drinking the poison.

For 20 minutes, Yuichi continued to survive the attack of a very painful poison. Yuichi has trouble moving his body because his body feels stiff.

"Is this poison painful? I used to drink this poison not as painful as this effect." Inner Yuichi.

After 1 hour had passed, the poison inside Yuichi's body had started to disappear. Now his body began to be immune to low and medium level poisons.

"My body is very weak right now. I had to train for at least a few dozen years to be on par with my strength as a teenager" Yuichi said.

While thinking about ways to increase his strength, he heard footsteps approaching his father's house. Yuichi immediately rushed to greet his father.

"For now let it be like this first, because I enjoy it enough" said Yuichi.
