Chapter 01: Rebirth

Two infant demons were leaning on a fatal injury above his abdomen, bit by bit, gnawing on his internal organs.
It never occurred to him that after gaining strength thousands of times beyond ordinary people and possessing vitality beyond normal human beings, he, too, would face this nightmarish torment one day.

Dying now was a luxury for him!

The demon clan was inherently a cruel race, and as a group of high-level monsters with extremely high intelligence, they always enjoy torturing their prey in the cruelest ways.
It was their favorite entertainment, and they never get tired of it.
It’s just that after three hours of torment, they’d still be fatigued even if they had the vitality of a giant dragon.

With one last look at the sky, he cursed this damned world.

“It finally ends here.
I don’t know if anybody will feel sad after I’m gone.
Will anyone notice my disappearance… probably not?” Xiao Yu’s eyes gradually dimmed, but the corners of his mouth hung with a self-deprecating smile, “this is absolutely laughable.
In the end, I have nothing.
What did I live so long for? It makes no difference if I die.
With me or without me, the world has never changed.”

Feeling that their prey was about to die, the adult demon standing near him roared, and the young infant demon didn’t hesitate, fast like a gust of wind blow, it bit down on his neck.

“It’s just… I’m not resigned to death yet!”

This was Xiao Yu’s last thought just before his consciousness faded.

………

Bang, bang, bang!

A violent knocking sound awakened Xiao Yu; opening his eyes abruptly, he heard voices of men and women chatting beside him, and what was imprinted on his eyes was a familiar yet distant scene.

He was inside a spacious classroom.
Sunlight shone in from the windows and sprinkled on the smooth floor, making the place light-filled.
There was a faint smell of paint in the air.
Several exquisite oil paintings were hanging on the walls on both sides of the room.
Rows of easels were neatly arranged as well while the students were mixing paints, cleaning their brushes, and preparing for sketching practice.

The cause of the knocking sound was Jiang Xiaowen, who was still banging his drawing board vigorously as she said: “hurry and wake up; I seriously admire you.
You actually can fall asleep at a time like this? Class is starting soon; why don’t you get up and start drawing like everyone else!”

“Ah!” Xiao Yu stood up hurriedly, though he accidentally kicked the bucket beside his feet in the process, the people around him yelled in surprise as the dirtied water splashed all over the place, yet he seemed not to care.
He started touching his face and body with both hands as his eyes flickered around while examining his surroundings; he yelled: “Where is this place? Tell me, where are we!”

One of his classmates with a short temper shouted: “Hey, Xiao Yu, you’re so noisy.
Why are you yelling? Did you go crazy?! Isn’t this our classroom?”

Class…the classroom!

Is this a classroom? It’s really our classroom!

Xiao Yu took a deep breath while staring blankly at his hands.
His face was full of disbelief because everything looked exactly the same as it was five years ago.
He was a sophomore student at a well-known fine arts domestic school, majoring in arts.
This classroom is exactly the ninth class classroom of the art and design department, and the familiar faces here have not changed in the slightest.

Why am I here in this classroom? Have I gone back five years in time?

“Am I dreaming? No, Impossible; it’s most definitely not a dream.
Though it’s been five years, everything looks so real and exactly like it used to be; how can it be a dream!”

After a moment of shock, Jiang Xiaowen worriedly said, “Xiao Yu, are you alright?”

Far and Dusty memories flooded like a tide from the depths of Xiao Yu’s mind.
“You are… are you Jiang Xiaowen?”

Jiang Xiaowen was the class monitor of the ninth Class in the arts and design Department, also known as the beauty of the art department.
In a school dominated by the same department, she was essentially the school’s flower.
Wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, putting together a simple and refreshing ponytail, with adorable and playful slanted bangs reaching her eyebrows, she looked beautiful.
Her skin tone was very light.
Her long eyelashes, large eyes, pointed oval face, and excellent facial features all added to her beauty.
She had a kind of gentle temperament unique to Jiangnan women.

Xiao Yu muttered to himself as he closed his eyes: “Jiang Xiaowen?…Jiang Xiaowen!”

“What’s wrong with you?” Jiang Xiaowen was stunned.
She stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, “Is something wrong with you? I’ll help you in requesting for medical leave..”

“Step aside, and don’t touch me!”

Xiao Yu appeared to be extremely wary and hostile toward everyone and everything around him.
His bright eyes had already turned bloodshot, and he glared at her with a murderous expression, which immediately terrified everyone, as well as Jiang Xiaowen.

In fact, the tw
