"May I come in, young master?" A maidservant wearing the name tag "Alice" spoke into the intercom outside a room in the children's building.
"Sure," a kid replied. She heaved a sigh.
Alice took a step back and compressed mana, the perfect size to fit through the orb installed in the middle of the door. She placed it into the orb. After a subtle glow, the door opened on its own.
The room was wide, with a neatly arranged medium-sized bed and two pillows.
Beside the bed sat a small silver table with neatly arranged books. The entire room was spotless.
She scanned the room for the door to the game room. With a sigh, she walks to the game room and opens the door.
She frowned in disappointment — her young master was playing a game in a very messy room. Beside him were empty snack packs and water bottles.
The boy sat in his comfortable game chair, focusing on a sixty-four-inch television displaying the game he was playing.
At the corner of the room was a shelve of updated game disks, some of the disks were scattered on the floor
"Young master, your game room is a mess, you should try to not make too much of this mess." The maidservant said.
The young boy, around five to seven years old, paused his game, turned to the maidservant, and stared at her with a deadly serious expression.
He had jet-black hair and a perfectly shaped triangular face, but what truly stood out were his mismatched eyes — one red, one gold — adding an eerie beauty to his appearance..
"Why? You're my servant — that's your job, isn't it?" he said haughtily.
"The mistress has delivered, and your father wants your presence for the family ritual," Alice said, half-annoyed, barely restraining herself from clicking her tongue as she picked up the waste.
She had to put up with his bratty attitude, and although she thought she would have gotten used to it by now, it felt like he always found new ways to annoy her.
But she wasn't going to lose her job because of this Damm brat, no, the pay was too good to forsake
"Ugh. Really? I have to babysit a younger... uh... is it a brother or a sister?" he groaned, turning back to his game.
"It's a boy, young master," she answered.
"A baby brother huh? I'm too lazy to have to babysit a younger brother. If he cries too much, I'll kill him," the boy said flatly.
"Better one punishment now than years of annoyance, right?" Alice didn't answer. Her silence wasn't approval — it was survival.
His words weren't shocking for her, she has stayed and witnessed how cruel their lives are. They train to near death and then they embark on life-threatening adventures —of course there's always a bodyguard who intervenes only when it seems like they'd die.
So him saying such a thing wasn't surprising. "He might actually do it." She thought and the kid misinterpreted her silence.
"I know that silence — it means my idea is superb!" He said in excitement as he jumped down from his game chair and started to make his way out of the game room.
"Well, I better get prepared." he left to get ready.
"To think he's only seven years old." Alive muttered to herself before continuing to clean up. Once she was done, she left.
....
Upon reaching the hospital where he senses the link, Sheon started to trace the connection and it eventually led him to a ward in the V.I.P section.
Inside the ward lay a woman with long blonde hair, peacefully sleeping. She was one of the rarest beauties Sheon has come across since his time in the human realm.
The nurses who were cleaning up couldn't help but steal glances at the perfect woman while blushing.
"Yikes, to think a woman's beauty can make another woman blush;;;" Sheon shivered in disgust.

Author's Note: " ;;;" represents sweating in Korean texts. So whenever you see them, just imagine the characters sweating.

As usual he was invisible to the nurses. So he moved closer. The link he felt wasn't from the woman but from her child.
Besides the woman's bed was a baby crib, and on it lay a white haired baby doing...you know, baby stuff.
Sheon approached him.
"So he's the one I feel the link from. I thought newborns usually sleep but this one, he seems to have quite the energy." Sheon said while examining him.
He stroke his hand on his jaw, as if rubbing his non-existent beards.
"But, his mana is so...weak. How is it that he created a strong signal compatibility with me—" he wasn't finished talking when a purple rune appeared on the baby's forehead and sucked him in.
A nurse noticed the light and turned to the baby.
"Huh? Did you see that?" The nurse asked.
"See what?"
"I think his forehead just glowed." She tried to explain.
"Sigh...of course strange things happen, he is probably a miracle and not ordinary like us." The other nurse explained. "Hurry up let's get out of here, the senior nurses will be here soon." She added.
"Miracle" is what the call people with superhuman abilities.
"I guess so..." The other nurse nodded, rounded up and they both left.
.....
Sheon found himself in a dark room, devoid of any form of light. He looked around to understand his environment.
"WTF?! Was I dragged into the baby's consciousness? And why the hell is it so darn dark in here?" He said and then calmed down to think.
"I guess he's new born, so he wouldn't have any imagination yet. And is he compatible to me because he almost has no mana? Is this like that Asta character from Black Clover where he becomes OP after using a devils power?" Sheon was a fan of anime, and if not that he had no power, he would have killed every human who looked down on anime.
"That would have been exciting but unfortunately, I'm here for the body and not to be a slave. I still have to pay that bastard back for banishing me!"
"Now, how do I do this?" He said, looking around to know if he can find a weak link, so he can possess the kid.
While looking around, a light shun from above him, catching his attention. As he looked up, a pair of glittering purple eyes was there, looking down at him.
~Zoom~
A heavy pressure immediately fell on him.
"F*ck!" He could only exclaim to the pain from the pressure. 'This presence, the eyes... I'm sure it's her. What the fuck is she doing inside my host?' Sheon thought.
He recognized the eyes, the popular Celestial Eyes, that took the lives of countless devils, including himself.
'Shit, I remember dying more than twenty times to that bitch. But I heard it was lost, so this is where it was—khuk!' The pressure became heavier.
An angel who fought alongside Michael against the devils had those pair of eyes. It was a gift from God. But after he fell into temptation, he was casted into the abyss and lost the eyes.
Everyone, mostly devils searched for the eyes, because if they somehow possessed a gift of God, they'd either be literated—be reincarnated as a human— or become extremely powerful.
Mustering all his strength, he looked back at the eyes that stared back — not with hatred, but with infinite indifference. That was worse.
"Damm, and to think I was chilling on a tree some minutes ago..." Sheon said before losing consciousness.
He knew one thing for sure: to possess a baby with the celestial was going to be a pain in the ass.
***********
~Few minutes later.
The baby was asleep and the mother woke up to see a nurse checking up on the baby.
"Can I see my baby?" The mother said, beautiful golden eyes was teary as she looked at her child.
"Sure ma'am." The nurse agrees and gently carries the child so he doesn't wake up.
She carried her son and looked at him— eyes filled with contrasting emotions: joy and sadness. Thr nurse left the room and stayed nearby in case she was called for.
She noticed his unique white hair, and smiled bitterly.
"You look just like HIS mother" She muttered with a sad tone. She grabbed his clenched hands and kissed his forehead.
"Just hang in there son, you must." She said as she gently caresses the baby's face.
"It's going to be tough, but don't worry, mummy will always be there for you." She whispered to him.
