1 Prologue

What if you were given life with freedom in taking a choice on what you want to eat at lunch vanished when you get used to it? What if a person born to the world without a tiny bit of knowledge, despised because of what he has? What if that person hasn't done anything wrong, but accused to be an evil bringer?

It is a certain boy in an anonymous village, with white hair upon his birth, the 'so-called' "The Hair of Demon." Wherever he goes, he gets insults about him and his parents that is disturbing to hear. He always loved by his parents, but he wonders why he doesn't hate his parents after him being treated like that. He always has consoled by his older sister, but in the end, that only brings harm to his sister. Yes, it is a stigma that has been placed upon 'god-knows-when', but in his head, he always wondered why humanity despised him because he is different from them.

Although he is a clever one, always ask what he doesn't know until he knows or thought about the answer all the time until he got one and that what he does every day. Of course, as an 'abnormal peasant' to the kingdom, he stills a peasant so that he was taught by his father how to use a sword to hunt despite his crude technique in the eyes of a normal soldier. But who cares? As long as his stomach full, the technique was none of his concern.

Until one day, a noble came and destroyed his daily life. That noble told the villagers that the king has ordered his folk to join the kingdom's army for a war against the neighboring kingdom. It is big news, of course, considering how their peaceful life has always been (except for the boy). But it turned to be bad news for him, his mother taken by force because the noble caught an eye for her, and his father died because he doesn't want to be separated from his wife and fought the noble, resulting in him died a dog's death. His sister was killed when his father told them to run away by sacrificing herself from the pursuing soldier, but unfortunately, he was caught by them and the noble used him as an experiment for the kingdom.

The kingdom was infamous for their human experiment to turn humans into a transcendental being, or to be known as 'biological weapon' on the continent, even for worst, their experiment on 'The Child of Demon' incredibly infamous around the continent because of their discrimination. His life was no better than before, that he thought it is better than his current life. He is tortured, forced to swallow a disgusting being, injected with unknown fluid and suffered all the day, forced into a fight with another test subject, mutilated and his limb re-attached again and again, that he lost his consciousness for multiple times. One time, his body was drawn an unknown tattoo and for many days his mind was in the mess that he doesn't know what he eats or what he did. Only when he wakes up, he discovered that his body was in a clean state, that makes him puzzled for what the heck did they do.

Subject number 1, with the code name 'Erst'. That was he called by those kingdom's mad scientist. He was praised by them because he can stand all the experiments that no one can survive for decades ago. And so on the other test subjects, their state was an incredible mess that makes the people of another kingdom wondered if this kingdom is an an an in the right situation. But who cares? Or so said the emperor. What the emperor wanted is glory. The boy cursed in his heart and swears that he will make that damned emperor suffer for what he did on him one day. So he can only wait for a better situation and breakthrough for his freedom.

If God exists in that world, the god listened to his prayer and finally grants his wish. That day...
