《Demon slayer:Family》Chapter 2.Birth and childhood
Advertisement
Johan wasn't able to see anything around him at all. But he could feel that his entire body being in a warm place.
He didn't know where he was, nor did he want to think about it because he felt that if he were to think too much, then some problems would occur.
This was, of course because he was in his mother, Kamado Kei's womb.
His brain hasn't developed to the point he could have complex thoughts. Thus he was unable to sense of his situation.
After an unknown amount of time…
On a rainy night
In a small room
"Don't close your eyes! Don't close your eyes!'', said one of the 2 middle-aged ladies in a slightly loud voice.
She was a mid-wife, and today Kamado family's first child was about to be born, she didn't want any mishaps to occur, and not just today, as a mid-wife she would never want a mother or a child to die during labor.
"Quick, bring warm water!" she said to the other mid-wife.
"Okay", the other mid-wife replied.
Outside the room was a man, his name was Tanjuro Kamado, Tanjuro suffered from an illness which made his skin appear dull, pale and very fragile.
He has dark red eyes, black hair with red tips hair, and a forehead scar.
Currently, he was sitting on a chair, and was looking a bit nervous.
This was because he was going to be a father any minute now. All he could do now was pray for the safety of the mother and child.
After some time, the rain stopped, and he heard the cry of a baby from inside the room.
A mid-wife came outside the room and said, "Congratulations, your wife, and son are healthy" with a gentle smile on her face.
"Ah, it's a good thing that they are healthy", he said, seemingly relieved.
Inside the room
Kei Kamado was resting after safely giving birth, her child was right beside her, coverd in clean white cloth was sleeping without a care in the world.
She looked at her child with a lot of affection in her eyes, she thought "how cute" with a smile on her face.
Tanjuro entered the room with anticipation in his eyes, he saw his wife,Kei, and beside her was his son, in deep sleep.
As he got closer to Kei,she asked him, "Have you thought of a name yet?"
Hearing the question, Tanjuro gave a gentle smile, took his son in his arms and said, "Yes, I have, we will name him 'Harada'", he said.
"Harada...it's a good name", Kei said with a pleased tone.

"I wish he grows up to be strong and healthy",said Kei internally.
{Note: MC's name will no longer be Johan, he will be called Harada for the rest of the story.}
After a few hours…
Harada slowly opened his eyes, he saw two people in his room, one man and a woman.
"They must be Tanjuro and Kei kamado, my parents"he said internally, of course.
"Ah, I don't have any energy to even move my limbs", he thought. That was because he was tightly covered in a white cloth and was a newborn.
He observed his parents for a while,after that, his parents noticed him.Kei took Harada, her child, in her arms and said, "Are you hungry, Haru-chan!"
"Ha-Haru!"Tanjuro said while stuttering, "But we decided to name him Harada"He said jokingly.
Kei understood that he was joking and thus didn't reply to him because she didn't have any energy to do so.
She carried Harada with her right arm, and put her left arm in her cloths around the chest area, and grabbed one of her breasts and took it out so that her child could drink milk.
"Well, I really do feel hungry", he thought. Harada was a bit hesitant at the start, but he was ready for a situation like this before he told the god about his wishes.
Besides, it would be impossible for children to survive without their mother's milk.
He used his tiny fingers to grab on her nipples, and then he put that in his mouth and started drinking milk as he was supposed to.
Now, there was only one thing bothering him and that was his father, who was in the same room in which Harada was drinking from his mother's breasts.
It felt a bit weird to drink milk from his mother's breasts but his father's gaze was making him feel a bit more embarrassed.
"Please, go don't stare at me!!" he thought internally.
After 2 months…
Harada was able to walk, but he wasn't able to speak currently, but he did that on purpose.
"If a child walking and talking by the time he/she was 2 months old, then their parents would probably freak out and even think that their child is possessed by a demon or something."
This was his understanding of his current situation.
As expected, the body that god gifted him was a strong one, his physical growth was very fast.
He was sure that if he were to try, then he would be able to even run, not fast, but still being able to run by the time you're 2 months old is already an astonishing feat.

"But I, for some reason, unable to control my body as good when it comes to holding back 'the pressure',
due to which I, like any other child, spoiled my pants a lot. But this was a good thing because I would be too ashamed to poop my pants by myself as I need to act like any child my age, at least now".
His parents noticed that their child's body is becoming stronger by day, which naturally pleased them a lot.
Any good parent would want their child to be healthy.
Many people congratulated father for becoming a father, which of course made him pleased as well.
He was a quiet, calculating, forgiving, charismatic and loving person, and he played with occasionally.
We lived in the mountains,, so there weren't many people who visited us.
Father would go to the village down the mountain to sell charcoal every day.
Even though he looked frail and weak but in reality, by learning the Hinokami Kagura and continuing to do the Kagura dance throughout the night every year, Tanjuro has vastly improved his physical capabilities far beyond that of a normal human.
As for my mother, is a woman with a noticeably light complexion, kind, dark purple eyes that appear a lighter color around the rims of their irises, and a small beauty mark located on the left of her face below her lower lip.
She has black hair, worn tied back in a messy bun with a few loose strands left to dangle over her face.After doing all the housework,she plays with me alot.
As for me,I have black hair and dark red eyes.
"I will do as many physical activities I can so that I can increase my stamina".
After a year…
"Now, I am 14 months old. As I turned 6 months old I started to walk, but only with someone supporting me, when I turned 10 months old, I started running and playing in the woods with my mother and occasionally my father, But I still trip a lot, maybe because no matter how strong this body may be, I'm still a 1-year-old child"
After another year….
I turned 2 years old last month. Today was a delighted day because my mother was about to give birth again, and this time, to Tanjiro, the original MC of the story.
After a few hours, mother safely gave birth to a boy, and this time, father named him Tanjiro as that was the name he was supposed to get.
"He is so cute" I said
"Yes he sure is, Haru-chan make sure to take care of your younger brother"my mother said gently.
"Yes I will for sure." I said
Harada choose to talk like this before he tured 3 years old because he thought that talking like this is cute.
"Harada you're getting older, you should learn how to talk properly"father said in a gentle voice as always.
"Okay father"I said with a serious expression, but that serious expression looked adorable when made by a 2-year-old.
After another year…
I have turned 3 years old a few months ago, and today Tanjiro turned 1 year of age. The first word he said was "Okaa-chan".
"I thought he would say "Onii-chan" but maybe I was expecting too much"I sighed.
But still, Tanjiro is really attached to me as I treat him with love and care.
And as for my parents, during the day, father would go to the village to sell charcoal, and mother would do the housework, they would still spend a lot of time with me and Tanjiro.
However at night, they will start doing the "deed" as soon as we slept. But that's good as well, since I really want to have Nezuko as my sister.
After another year…
I turned 4, 2 Tanjiro, and today nezuko was about to be born
I was really excited about it, A few days ago father and mother asked us if we wanted a sister or a brother, Tanjiro said he wanted a brother so that he would have the little brother to take care of like me.
Likewise, I said that I wanted a sister because I thought a little sister would be cute.
Of course, I was certain that our expectations were fruitless as only Nezuko will be born, but I thought to enjoy this moment with them.
Now today mother went in labor pain, and father took mother to the midwifes, after a safe delivery, she and father returned with our cute little sister,Nezuko.
Tanjiro was disappointed for a few seconds but then he started playing with her the most, it was as if he just completely forgot about me.
"But I don't think I should care about" I thought with a wry smile.
"Tanjiro, how can you forget about your brother" I said teasingly, "hahaha didn't you want a brother" I said.
Tanjiro puffed his cheeks and said, "She is also a bit cute, not as much as I wanted, but still, she is ok!" he said hurriedly with difficulty.
"You're so cute" I shouted internally.
I swear I'll take care of them.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…
