Chapter 1: Reborn as the Son of a Savage.

(Angel's P.O.V)
I was born weak.
Of body, of mind.
But never of spirit.
Despite being stuck in a bed with issues ranging from a rare form of bone cancer, diabetes to a speech impediment, I was eager to live.
One might even say I was hungry for life.
But no one else seemed to share the same opinion.
My father was rich and once it became clear that I was always going to be a burden, he had me carted off to an hospice where I lived the remainder of my short and painful existence.
But even then, there were highlights to be found.
For one, with no family or friends to talk to, I fell in love with watching anime, reading manga and basically devouring every bit of Isekai fantasy I came across.
I needed the escape to momentarily forget my agonizing life. And media provided that.
I especially loved anime. One of my favorites being a show called My Hero Academia.
I could relate with most of the characters as they were my age. I especially loved Todoroki. Like me, his father was distant and harsh toward him.
And his quirk ability was something else entirely.
The ability to create and manipulate fire and ice was no joke. And I usually played around with scenarios of what I would do if I had a powerful quirk like that.
If I had any quirk at all...
That said, my health started to decline once I hit my 20s.
By then I had lived in perpetual pain all my life.
And more than once, I had thought of deleting myself. But I stubbornly held on because that's what the characters I idolized would have done.
Plus Ultra and all that shit.
Maybe I thought that at the end of my cruel joke of a life, a reward was waiting for me.
That perhaps my Father would have a change of heart and come see me before I inevitably died.
That didn't happen.
And in a particularly cold winter night, just a few days away from celebrating my 21st birthday, my life ended.
I was alone.
(General P.O.V)
Standing on the balcony of a stately mansion was a tall man.
Vandal Savage.
A legend. A myth.
Shaping humanity for tens of thousands of years like he had, brought about a feeling of obligation.
A responsibility to carry on the will of man into an uncertain future.
And throughout his existence, he had done many great deeds across history. Some were good, most were terrible but nonetheless great things.
But tonight...was special.
Tonight was the night of the Red Moon. And a prophecy that was given to him thousands of years ago was about to be fulfilled.
The birth of his successor.
"Father, I don't mean to intrude but the child has been born."
A white haired brown skinned woman spoke from his back.
Vandal turned around, side burns framing his stony face and eyes that carried unspoken amounts of wisdom falling onto the woman.
"Lead the way."
A deep voice left the Immortal.
Olympia- one of his many daughters- bowed in reverence before turning around and walking back into the huge mansion.
The recent snow scrunched under their feet, until they entered a luxurious and spacious bedroom.
There was a large bed in the middle of the chamber. And on the bed lay a a black haired woman with skin the color if chocolate covered in sweat.
Next to her was a small bundle, sleeping peacefully beside the mother.
And surrounding the bed were 2 nurses and a short man dressed in a green half coat, a white shirt with sleeves folded to the elbows and large rimmed glasses.
Upon noticing Vandal's arrival, the short man perked up.
"Mr. Savage. The delivery was successful. You are now the proud father of a healthy baby boy."
"Thank you Professor Ivo."
Savage nodded at the man.
The short man preened at the praise.
"It was no big deal. The DNA reader has successfully intergrated inyo his body as well."
Ivo said, adjusting his glasses.
"With it, he will be able to efficiently use his regenerative capabilities gained from your meta-gene. That is, if the DNA coding was successful."
In a bid to ensure a worthy heir, Savage had influenced his son's DNA sequence to gain the same ability that made him who he was.
His son like him, would be an immortal. But that was not all.
"What about the gifts from his mother's side?"
The Immortal asked, to which Ivo scratched his chin while frowning at a data pad in his hands.
"The mother's homo magi gene is present in the child but with no way to detect magic- I cannot say for certain if he will ever have her powers over the mystic arts."
Too bad. But not unexpected.
Vandal hummed, stepping closer to the bed.
"I would like to hold my son."
One of the nurses carefully picked up the bundle next to the sleeping woman and handed it to Savage.
Vandal looked down and was met with a powerful and curious gaze.
The child, not even a day old was staring up at him with something akin to intelligence.
It slightly surprised the Immortal, making him blink in thought as he held his own flesh and blood.
Vandal had had many children across the years but none were quite like his youngest one.
From that initial eye contact, it was clear the child was not normal. And not normal was good.
In fact it was very good. It meant potential.
But potential alone was not enough. The boy would need time to grow and learn.
Nothing would be handed to him. Just like nothing was handed to Savage.
"Olympia."
He called and his daughter obediently stepped up.
"Raise him."
He commanded. To which Olympia looked at the mother in question.
"What about his mother?"
Faster than she could see, Savage's sword had left it's sheath and decapitated the head of the woman on the bed.
Blood sprayed out of her exposed neck, dirtying the sheets and painting the wall behind in a gory mess.
"You're It's mother now."
The Immortal said, casually flicking the blood off the blade before sheathing it.
Before their shocked eyes, Savage then proceeded to leave the room.
(Angel's P.O.V)
My second life begun strangely.
For starters, I hadn't expected to live again.
In my past life I was an atheist. I had never really taken to religion as I doubted the existence of God.
I mean if there actually was a God, why would he have allowed me to suffer for 20 years straight?
In any case, whether a God was responsible for me getting reborn or not seemed inconsequential.
The point is I had another chance at life. And this time, I would do my best to live it the way I wanted.
Something that was made both easier and harder on account of my new heritage.
I was the son of one of the most deplorable humans in the world. One of the most intelligent yet primitively brutal humans to ever exist.
I was reborn as the son of Vandal Savage. But to me, he's just dad.
Olympia, my big sister never bothered to hide the identity of my father from me.
Since I could remember, bed time stories were about the exploits of Vandaradg the second, from a mere man in the Bear tribe to Vandal Savage, the shot caller behind the Illuminati, an organization that has existed for thousands of years.
In ancient Egypt, he tangled with Prince Kufu and princess Shayera- two popular heroes known as Hawkman and Hawkwoman.
In 100 bc he was Julius Cesar, building an empire that stretched across Europe and Asia.
In simple terms, my new father was a Great Man.
It was a wonder how in the comics I read he was usually defeated easily. I mean, how do you contend with someone who's been alive since the dawn of civilization?
Olympia never failed to impress on me the expectations on my shoulders as the son of one of the greatest villains in DC.
I was informed that I was being raised and groomed to be his successor.
And to that end, she pushed me to embody all the traits that made Savage who he was.
By 9 months I was already able to stand and walk on my two feet.
By 2 years I had regained enough dexterity that I could write and read. At this time, I poured through middle school material- devouring all the knowledge accessible to me.
By 3, I was well on my way to starting high school grade material. This was also the time Olympia begun to add physical exercises like stretching in my routine.
She also begun to get into more in depth analysis of my father's exploits- specifically talking about the themes of life and death.
And the wherewithal of those in power to dictate both edicts according to their whims.
I was told I was chosen. Just like my father had been.
And in a way it felt true. In my last life, I was nothing special but in this one, I was the son of a Conquerer.
And thus was meant to conquer as well.
And this became apparent once I hit my 4th birthday and awakened my abilities.
In the morning of that day, I woke up to something unexpected,
A blue panel hang before my eyes,
