The scenery of that vicious night was still vivid in my mind. I opened my eyes, in the fear of being greeted by the headless bodies and flowing blood river. I was happy that it didn't come true.

Everything was different around me. There was a warm bed beneath me with a straw roof above my head, light warm sunlight was coming from somewhere and a flowery scent in the air.

Might be the good isekai life came to me on the second chance. I didn't even want to think about the first one. I might have died that night, but somehow I was relieved. Understanding the situation comes first, for now, I didn't want to make any mistakes again.

As I moved my hand, I turned speechless. Not that I could speak but It was a child's fist. I was a child, well at least that explains why couldn't I move my body freely.

"@#[email protected][email protected]%@#$!" for the first time I heard such a beautiful voice. It was followed by a man's. I didn't think I could understand that either. But soon enough he came into view and picked me up.

'It was fucking embarrassing.' I was picked up by a man of the same age if I calculate all my life I remember. That all went out of my mind when I saw the woman in front of me. One word, 'Mesmerising', nothing more, nothing less. I envied this man to the bone. He made this beautiful woman pregnant.

'What the hell I am thinking about?' they are my mother and father. There is no reason to envy them. Sometimes I couldn't understand my own emotion. And there was a problem. By the look of it, I was not even 2 months old. The colours were not clear to my eyes so it's not even 3 months. And by the look of the belly the woman she would have given birth within 1-2 months.

It was not even 1 whole month and it was proven true. For now, I can be sure that I was not from their blood. Not like that was a matter to me. Whether real or adopted, God, at last, gave parents to me and I was happy about that.

10 years later.

"Brother is back." A little girl came running as Father and I approached the house. Her hair curled neatly in the blonde braids. It was not that she was naturally blonde, rather her hair was little peculiar according to me. At the root, the hairs were blonde but at the tip it was black.

"Only those who are blessed by the God have such beautiful hair." Mother had said that, and I couldn't argue about that. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen of course she was second to mother. But I love her and hoping to marry her. We were not blood-related after all. My parents didn't hide that from me.

Well at first I thought God was going to make an action isekai story but after the first experience, I think it would be better to have a romantic isekai. The girl came running and jumped at me. I was ready for it but still, it made stagger back few steps almost spilling the fruits, herbs and mushroom collected in the basket.

Father was just behind me. He supported me as he said, "Baby your father is also very tied, a hug from you would be better." Father was really doting towards her, but…

"Father stinks." the little girl showed his little red tongue and wrapped around my hand as we were heading to the house.

For starter, it was the same island where I spend my first life. Well, father didn't just say it to me, but I figured. As the story goes there used to research lab here about 50 years ago. Then a devil appeared. All the people on the island were slaughtered. 'I think I know the origin of the devil.' About 12 years ago the king's soldiers cleared the island and people like my father was the first to come to reside here. My father found me in the forest when he was hunting in the forest and adopted me.

"Welcome back dear." Mother came out of the house. "Amori, let you bother to clean up first."

It was our everyday life. Wake up at the sunrise. The father and I do some exercise, go to the village market to sell the herbs and meat that was left from last days hunting. After having breakfast we went to the forest to hunt little beast and herds. After the return, we wash up to eat dinner and go to sleep at sundown. It was the same old routine. But I was happy.

It was the night. We were on the bed. Father and mother were still young so they went to their room. Amori and I always slept together. I think people of this world wasn't too much concern about those things. We were just 10 years old, how could they know that I was having improper thought about their daughter. Well, how do you expect me to control myself, a 36-year-old virgin if you add up the 10 years of this life?

But all those improper thoughts went out of the window right at the moment I looked at her. Those clear blue eyes full of innocence, the pure untainted love was sprouting flowers behind her every time I looked. It made me embarrass. I moved my eyes back to the book about this world's history, in the fear that she will read through my thought.

She came close and hug me. "I love you, brother." A bittersweet feeling spread through my heart, but I hugged back.

"I understand princess. Now it's time to sleep."

"Bother, are you a tomato? Why are you so red?" She giggled as she asked.

This girl was simply too much.

"Brother you know I can't fall asleep if don't sleep on your lap."

"You have weird fetish." I couldn't help but say that.

"Brother, what is a fetish?" She was curious but it was cut short as I forcefully put her head on my lap. I started to caress her hair as she closed her eyes with a smile.

6 years later.

"Mother where is Amori?" I asked mother as I put down the bow and arrow along with 3 horned rabbits.

"She said you called her!" Mother was surprised by the question.

'So she must be there already.' Without any question I left in hurry.

"What are you two up to?" Mother's shout could be heard from the back. "Tomorrow is yours coming to age ceremony."

"Don't worry mother we will come back soon." With the shout, I increased my speed. That's right, tomorrow will be my coming to age ceremony. The day after which I could take a wife. Though mother and father already know about it and Amori was willing still I want to propose her.

"Damn!" I couldn't help but curse out as light rain started. The place was at the cliff. A beautiful place right at the outskirt of the forest. It was our secret place, a place where I first kissed her.

After we turned 12, we had to sleep in separate rooms. It was natural. So this was the spot where we naturally meet. This place has the best sunset view. But she never gets to see it. But today would have been different. I would propose her with the sunset at the background. But there was rain.

*Growl* It was not more than 400 meters from the place when I heard the howl. Father told me many times not to come here at evening. But nothing ever happened to me. Then why today? I ran towards the place fastest speed possible.

The view drained all the blood off my body. It was a slick tongue baboon. Not a beast I could have handled alone. It was quite agile. Other than its eye-site it had little to no disadvantages. If something was not moving then it would not detect it. But that was not something Amori knew about. The moment I appeared in the view Amori tried to run towards me with a cry.

"Brother". Without a moment hesitation, the baboon's harpoon-like tongue ran through her heart.

"Amori" I cried out the top of my lungs. Everything went blank again. I just don't know what to do. There was no way I could kill it… unless that thing inside me appears again. I have to make it appear again. Last time it appeared when I was dying.

Just with the thought I took out the dagger and plunged it into my heart. At least I tried. But the dagger stopped just before the chest. I couldn't move it anymore. My body wasn't under my control. I can feel it has appeared.

"Save her" that was all I could say before I lost consciousness.

It was raining heavily. I was back in the body, she was laying on my lap again. But wasn't moving at all. There was a hole in her left chest. The body of the baboon laying not too far from me. If was totally unrecognizable.

"If you want to save her then there was still a chance." The words thundered through my mind. I don't need to look around, I know who it was. The voice continued, "But you may die."

"Do it now" I screamed without hesitation. The voice didn't speak anymore. My hand moved on its own. Rather than the hand, it is better to term it like a claw. In front of my very eyes, the claw punctured my chest and grabbed my heart. I didn't know why I didn't felt anything.

The claw took out the heart and put it inside the hole in her chest. The veins slithered like snakes, attaching themselves with her body. She started to go into spasm. Slowly the heart started to bore itself inside her body and the wound started to heal all by itself.

'What am I?' living without a heart. Even my heart was like a living thing.

"If you live long enough then you will know." I was going ask the voice more, but as the voice faded the immeasurable pain kicked in.

"Ahhhhh" The pain of the heart ripped out of my body made me believe that I am human after all. I was running like a headless chicken and that became the reason for my downfall.

The heavy rain made the edge of the cliff brittle and with the movement the result was imminent. I fall into the sea. I died again, so I thought.
