(N/A: The series begins when Steven is 14 years old, nothing else that he doesn't know about)

9 years later

It was a quiet morning, birds are singing, flowers are blooming and reincarnated boys are sleeping peacefully in a comfortable bed in his room. If it's no one else but our protagonist.

(A/N: Let's see who catches the reference)

[You have slept in your bed your "Life" and "Mana" have been restored. All ailments and negative effects of the state have been cured]

{Good morning, Steven}

(Good morning Cortana, what time is it?)

{9:00 a.m. as always Steven}

(I know I just like to hear that reminder of your sweet voice, after all I don't know what I would do without you)

A smile appeared on Steven's face.

{Thank you, Steven : )}

Getting out of bed Steven opens the door to his room. Then he goes downstairs to go straight to the bathroom to wash his face. Then he returned to his room and took off his red pajamas to change into his usual clothes. When he looked in the mirror he could see a boy who was somewhat short in height and with a somewhat athletic body, and although he did not have marked muscles, he had contours. forming. He has dark brown hair in a curly style but something interesting is that he has pastel pink locks of hair, he wears a pink short-sleeved t-shirt with a star pattern in the center, blue jeans and salmon red sandals.

Steven: Although I have taken care of my diet and trained physically and mentally, I am only one head taller than canon Steven and Amethyst. (He said looking in the mirror)

(Something curious is that Steven's funko, the one with his hair in the shape of a rose, was right, this is what the back of my head looks like)

Steven thought, quite amused since he is living as his favorite character.

Going down again I go to the kitchen where I take out some milk from the refrigerator and one of the shelves I take out a cereal and a plate for it. Serving first the cereal and then the milk, he sat at the kitchen counter and began to eat breakfast and taking out his cell phone from his pocket he began to look at his phone.

(I have to hand in my homework soon, although I already have it done)

After thinking that he remembers how he managed to convince his father so that he could take online classes at least.

Flashback

We see how 6-year-old Steven is in his father's truck with him putting away some chairs that were outside the car wash since it was time to sleep.

Steven: Dad, can I ask you a question?

Greg: Sure Stevo, what do you have, do you need some advice from your old man? (He said with a smile)

Steven: I wanted to ask you, why didn't you ever take me to school? (I said a little sad)

At that Greg remained silent for a few moments and then responded.

Greg: Well... come on, I'll tell you a story.

Greg, like him, grew up in a very demanding family that tried to suppress his individuality by making too many unnecessary rules and forcing him to do things he didn't want to do, so much so that he remembers it as being in prison. After abandoning them, he ended up being the complete opposite of them and wants to raise Steven in the same way.

Steven: Wow Dad, I didn't know that.

Greg: Don't worry Steven, but other than that I'm actually afraid of how they treat you, I mean, you're half gem Steven, I don't know how people will react.

Steven: But dad, no one is afraid of me here in Beach City.

Greg: It's different here Steven, they have already lived with the Crystal Gems for a long time.

(If you mean "coexist" what do they know about them but they don't want to get involved in magical things)

Steven: Dad I know you're worried, but I'm also part human, I'm happy and although I'm not that energetic, I have great charisma and optimism. You raised me to love music. I am like any human being and if not, people don't see it, they miss it. Dad I really want to go to university when he grows up, I know it can be very rushed for a child but you have to remember that I am very intelligent and I feel that if I stay here I can waste that I want to help people Dad.

Greg: Are you sure you want to go to school?

Steven: Yes, I'm very sure.

Greg: Okay, but to avoid worrying, you're going to take online classes.

Steven: Sounds good to me.

End of Flashback

(He still didn't tell me anything about my uncle, but it doesn't matter for now)

After finishing breakfast the door of the temple opened for Amethyst to come out.

Steven: Hello Amethyst, good morning! (I said with a smile)

Amethyst: Good morning Steven! What are you eating? (He said while smiling back at me)

Steven: Cereal, do you want?

Amethyst: Yes, give me, give me. (She said to open her mouth wide)

Grabbing the cereal box, I put some of the cereal in his mouth and then poured the milk. While Amethyst was chewing what she had in her mouth, the temple door opened again and Pearl came out of it.

Steven: Good morning Pearl! (I said smiling)

Pearl: Good morning Steven. (He said smiling and then saw Amethyst)

Pearl: I already told you that if you eat cereal, use a plate. (She said a little upset)

Amethyst: Give me some more. (She said she trying to grab the cereal box)

Steven: I can't, I have to eat too, you know? (I said moving the cereal box away)

Pearl: Amethyst, you know we don't need to eat.

Amethyst: But it's fun. (She said protesting)

Steven: Girls, stop fighting, it's early in the morning.

The door of the temple opened for the last member of the Crystal Gems, Garnet, to come out.

Steven: Good morning Garnet!

Garnet: Good morning Steven. (She said with a slight smile)

Garnet: We have a mission, I have detected a gem near Beach City, we have to find it.

Pearl: Yes.

Amethyst: Good.

Steven: Can I come with you?

Garnet: No.

Pearl: Steven, until you can…

Steven: I know, I know, until I can control my powers I can't go on missions. (I said interrupting her)

Pearl: It's good that you know. Don't worry, when I get back I'll tell you how it went.

Steven: Okay. (I said resigned)

Garnet: Don't worry, I'll bring you something.

Steven: Thanks, Garnet. (I said smiling at him)

Amethyst: Don't worry, it won't take long, I promise.

Steven nodded in response.

Then they went outside to look for the corrupted gem.

(I still remember when I moved in with them)

Flashback

A 6-year-old Steven is seen with a suitcase in front of a Beach House, when he opens the door he finds the Crystal Gems waiting for him with open arms with a smile, Steven drops his suitcase and runs towards them to hug them too with a smile.

At night Steven settles into bed in his room while Greg reads him a bedtime story. In the end Steven falls asleep, while his father closes the door to his room, and then goes downstairs while he sees the Crystal Gems standing there taking care of Steven.

The next morning

Steven is downstairs having breakfast with Amethyst, while Pearl and Garnet are sitting on the couch they have.

Amethyst: Why did you tell Greg to put a wall and a door to your room?

Steven: I want to have privacy. Plus it has that window. (He said seriously)

(I don't want them to see me while I change or something, I don't know how Steven made it canon but I want privacy)

End of Flashback

(I think it's better this way)

While he was thinking that Steven saw his phone again in a post about the company that made "Gato Biscuits" that said they were closing because of their competition "Leones Lamedores".

(The events of the series will begin soon, I just hope I'm ready)

(I remember when they gave me the title "Enemy of all Monsters.")

Flashback

Steven could be seen standing in a frozen wasteland, next to him was a silver-white wolf, on his forehead was an oval blue gem, and around him was a sea of corpses of all kinds of monsters. If you look closely you could see monsters like Goblins, Wolves, Skeletons, Slimes, Lizards, among other types of creatures. These creatures disappeared after a while.

Steven: Ugh, that was pretty heavy, wasn't it Joaan.

Joaan: *Howl*

Steven: True, I know they disappear after a while but don't worry, I have their meat here. (I said taking out a piece of Goblin meat and handing it to Joaan)

This one started eating it.

[It has been detected that the host has killed all kinds of monsters, it has been decided that the titles, "Skeleton Hunter", "Wolf Hunter", "Slime Hunter", "Goblin Hunter", "Lizard Hunter" , etc. They merge and evolve to the title "Enemy of all Monsters"]

(Cortana, what happened?)

{The System has deemed all your "Hunter" related titles unnecessary so it has merged them into the "Enemy of All Monsters" title to make it easier to fight}

(Thanks Cortana)

Steven: What do you think Joaan?

Joaan: *Howl*

Steven: Yes he thought the same.

End of Flashback

While he remembered that, Steven hung his clothes on the clothesline located at the temple's hand.

Steven: I haven't shown my powers either except for using the teleportation platforms and that was by accident.

Flashback

A 7 year old Steven chasing Amethyst around the beach house.

Amethyst: Let's see if you can catch me. (He said in a mocking tone)

Steven: You'll see. (I said with a smile)

Amethyst was standing on the teleportation platform. Seeing her there, I rushed towards her, but before either of the two made any movement, a System message appeared in front of me.

[A teleportation platform has been detected nearby]

[Activating teleportation platform at… temple hand]

(Oh no)

For the next act, take both Amethyst and Steven to the hand of the temple.

As we teleported I started to float and when I reached the hand I flew away, but Amethyst caught me with her whip and pulled me towards her.

Amethyst: I got you friend.

Steven: Thank you Amethyst.

After that both Garnet and Amethyst arrived.

Pearl: Steven, are you okay? (She said worried)

Steven: I'm fine Pearl. (I said to reassure her)

Pearl: Amethyst, how do you think of using the teleportation platform, with Steven inside? (She said angrily)

Amethyst: Don't look at me, I know she activated herself. (She said just as upset)

While Amethyst and Pearl began to argue, Steven stood in front of Garnet and looked into each other's eyes, although Garnet was wearing dark glasses, he knew that he was asking me with his look what happened.

Steven: I accidentally activated the teleportation pad, I didn't know it could do that.

(I tried to use it before but it didn't work, why now?)

Garnet: I see. (She said it while she nodded)

Pearl: Wait, can you use the teleportation platforms?

Steven: I just found out.

As I said that I stood on top of the teleportation platform and activated it to return to the temple.

Amethyst: Great, with this you can go with us on our missions.

Pearl: Absolutely not. (She said crossing her arms)

Garnet: Pearl is right until she learns to use her powers she can go with us on missions. (He said she with a tone that accepted no objections)

Steven: Garnet is right Amethyst, I would only be a hindrance to you. (I said the last thing with my head down)

Amethyst: That's not true Steven, you are very intelligent and responsible.

Perla: You are very organized, which she appreciated and whenever you can you help me with the beach house.

Garnet: Don't worry, I know that one day you will awaken your powers.

The three of them smiled at me and I smiled back.

End of Flashback

(After that Perla made me promise that she will only use it to hang my clothes in the temple hand)

Steven: Although she didn't complain to me, for some reason I can only teleport here.

(Do you know the reason Cortana?)

{No Steven, but most likely when you start the missions with the crystal gems you can teleport to other places}

(I hope so)

POV of the Crystal Gems

Amethyst: So, are we going to steal those cat cookies?

Garnet: Yes.

Perla: I still say it's a better idea to pay for them.

Amethyst: But it's soooo boring. (He said with a mocking tone)

Pearl was about to argue with Amethyst, but Garnet interrupts them.

Garnet: Don't fight, Steven doesn't like it when you do that. (He said trying to calm them down)

Pearl and Amethyst: Good. Just because Steven doesn't like her.

Whenever they fight, just tell them that Steven wouldn't like them to fight and they calm down... more or less.

As they continued walking, Pearl was in her thoughts.

Amethyst: What's wrong Pearl?

Pearl: I was just thinking about Steven, you see Steven is very responsible for his age from what we understand... Greg, a human child should be outside playing and stuff, but Steven is different.

Amethyst: Steven has always been different, also if he goes outside to play and if he doesn't play with me. Apart from what catches my attention the most is that pink hair color, I know that Rose had pink hair but not that shade. She (she said it with a hand on her chin)

Faced with that, Pearl trembled a little involuntarily. Pearl is not stupid; that hair color is Rose's, but in her Pink Diamond form, in fact she couldn't help but compare it to her.

Pearl: What do you think Garnet?

After some thought she responded.

Garnet: What matters is that Steven is okay.

Actually Garnet is also a little worried, she has been taking a look at her future, but no matter how hard Steven tries, she does something that she doesn't expect, this has been worrying her, but nothing bad has happened so far and she hopes it stays that way.

While Amethyst, although she cares about Steven, does not give much importance to this, she sometimes wonders if he behaves that way because of the weight he carries since he is Rose's son.

Steven's POV

It was already night and Steven was about to go upstairs in his blue pajamas to go to sleep. The Crystal Gems were sitting on the couch in the living room.

Steven: Good night girls. (He said with a smile)

Pearl, Garnet and Amethyst: Good night Steven! (They said smiling back)

Lying on the bed he thought.

(Good night Cortana)

{Good night Steven :))

When Steven closed his eyes he expected to dream again as always, but when he opened his eyes he found himself floating in a dark room.

Steven: Wait... I remember this place.

God: That's right after all here I told you that you would be reincarnated. (He said a voice that conveyed warmth, but at the same time firmness, something he had already experienced once)

When he turned around he saw a very familiar ball of light.

Steven: God is you, wait... I died again. (He said with a little fear)

God: I didn't just want to talk to you and the easiest way I could think of was in your dreams. (He said reassuring Steven)

Steven: I was going to complain, you know, well, what did you want to talk to me about? (He said the first thing in a complaining tone but the rest was already calm)

God: I apologize, but I wanted to tell you that there may be some changes from the original story.

Steven: It's understandable after all my arrival may cause that, but what changes will occur?

God: You will have to discover that on your own, I warned you so you can realize it ahead of time.

Steven: Thanks, anything else?

God: Just one thing, your "System" will have a small update, it won't be anything special, just that.

Steven: What kind of update and why? (Steven said since he was a little suspicious.

God: You will know that when you wake up, for my part, my part, that is all. (He said saying goodbye to Steven)

Steven: Wait...

Before Steven could ask anything else he disappeared from that dark room.

God: He asked me how those two are doing.

While he was saying this, two types of screens materialized in front of him, one close to the other.

In one of them you could see the silhouette of what seemed to be a male robot with neon yellow eyes and short white hair, I have four-fingered hands, a black headband with five sections of lights and a long black tail that ends in a large syringe with acid that he uses to dismantle drones, the headband and the syringe contain a neon yellow liquid inside, he wore a black winter coat with a fur collar, a yellow band on his arm and a black pilot's cap.

On the other screen was the silhouette of a boy of medium height, with freckles, messy hair, and dark green eyes. Slim but with a toned body. He dressed in a black jacket with yellow buttons along with black pants and oversized red shoes with black laces tied with a bow and white soles.

The robot was screaming: What the hell is happening?!

While the boy apparently thought since he didn't move his lips: Fuck you!

God: It seems fine. (He said with a drop of sweat anime style)

(N/A: I was finally able to finish this chapter, sorry for the delay in uploading the chapter again, although as an excuse I was busy making chapters of my new fanfic "Reincarnating in Konosuba as a Dryad", in addition to knowing what to write in this new chapter since School consumes some of my time and I must remind you that I write this as a hobby and I really like writing fanfics. Well fanfictero101 says goodbye, thank you for reading this chapter.)
