Tensura: The Divine Child

As a handsome fit man with silver hair is walking down the alley, he hears shouts, threatening someone.

He quickly ran to where the shouts were heard and saw an extremely beautiful woman with a plump figure and blue hair being threatened by a group of 5 thugs each holding a different weapon, holding her at knife point.

"Oi! You bastards! Let go of her and fight me you sick sons of bitches!"

The silver haired man shouted at the thugs while dashing at them, throwing a small rock at one of their backs.

The thugs looked behind themselves as the rock hit one of them in the back, knocking him over.

When the thugs processed what is currently happening, the silver haired man has came in front of them, sweeping his leg and knocking the rest of them down.

The silver haired man then pulled the blue haired woman behind him as he backed away a short distance.

The thugs quickly got up and all charged at the silver haired man, attacking him with their weapons.

"You got a death wish punk?!"

"We'll kill ya!"

"And then we'll assault the hottie over your corpse!"

"And then we'll kill her too!"

"

The silver haired man knew that he was going to die this time, with nothing being able to prevent it.

"Girl. Run away and get the police as soon as possible. Don't stay here as the only way one of us will survive is if you get to safety."

The silver haired man quickly prepared a course of action to have a chance of taking all of them down, as he also ran at the thugs, dodging the two thugs holding knives, took 2 clean blows from 2 thugs holding a baseball bat and a metal bar respectively.

He spit out saliva as the wind was knocked out of him, as he continued to push forward, grabbing the weapon that the last thug was holding which was also a metal bar.

The silver haired man backed away to catch his breath as he got stabbed in the arm blocking the knife that was heading for his chest. When the silver haired man got stabbed, he raised his right arm, before swinging it and hitting the thug with the metal bar on the head, knocking him out with the thug becoming unresponsive.

'This is going to be the end of my life, isn't it. I'm also hearing things now. If this was a novel, I should be reincarnated after dying and become the child of luck. That would be awesome, but it won't happen. I've had the most average life up until my death, but at least I am finally doing something awesome, like a protagonist.'

The silver haired man quickly blocked the attack of the thug with a bat, before punching the thug in the gut while getting stabbed in the side.

"Khuk~"

The silver haired man, waved the metal bar and knocked out the thug with a bat, before backing away and colliding with something behind him.

The silver haired man looked behind him and saw the blue haired woman standing there, watching the battle.

When the silver haired man looked back however, he was attacked by the remaining 3 thugs at the same time, getting stabbed in the gut, getting his left arm broken, and having a few of his ribs shattered.

"You fucking idiot! I'm fighting these fuckers because I want to prevent them from doing whatever they want to do to you! Don't you understand the situation?! I'm going to die anyway as I have no shot at beating 5 armed thugs without being fatally injured! The least you can do is to make my death worthwhile! So run as fast and far as you can or go to a police station! Make my death mean something, don't make me die for nothing!"

The silver haired man shouted annoyed and in pain, ferociously fighting the thugs with no concern for his life which stunned the woman, who can't understand why he would protect her when he didn't know her.

{Champion-like heroic behaviour "courage to stand up" detected. Unlocked the Sub-Skills [Heroic Charisma] and [Heroic Action] from Unique Skill [Chosen One]}

The silver haired man got slashed across his face by the remaining thug holding a knife, getting his entire left side of his face cut and destroyed, causing him to scream in pain.

The silver haired man smashed the remaining thug with the metal bar, knocking him out as well, as he collapsed to the ground, having an internal monologue after yearning the sound again.

'I guess that this is the end. My face is destroyed, and I am covered in wounds and have at least 50 broken bones at this point, so even if by some fluke I survive, I will never be able to get a girlfriend. I wish that if I live another life, I will be more handsome than all the gods combined. That's not too much to ask for, after saving such a beautiful woman, is it?'

'I haven't been the smartest, most say that I'm actually pretty stupid and cannot understand most things. Is it considered wrong to actually want to have the heaven defying understanding like in the novels? And is it wrong to want to have the talent to be able to learn anything super easily, and much faster than others?'

The silver haired man continued to talk to himself, with more requests being received and the blue haired woman finally coming to her senses as she walked up to the silver haired man and asked him a question that had been bugging her.

"Why did you fight so ferociously and protect me when you could just pass by me?"

When Ted heard this, he gave a big smile and said as he felt himself begin to die.

"I knew I was going to die before I decided to intervene. I've had an average life and feel that my life will be average forever. I wanted to do something heroic for once in my life even if it means I will die. And, what is more heroic than saving a beautiful damsel in distress? Even though you somehow look familiar, I know that I haven't seen you, and the only place I feel like I could see you, is in a manga, anime, or light novel. Those are the only places where someone with your looks could be found."

"You are joking right? What a stupid reason to save someone at the cost of your life. What do you think you saw me in?"

The woman asked dumbfounded before asking Ted.

"I don't know, but it would probably be a fantasy genre. How wonderful it would be to live in a fantasy type of world with swords and magic. Even I can only hope to see it in my dreams. As I'm going to die anyways, why can't I wish for something bold from whatever god or extremely powerful being is watching?!"

Ted said with an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes, feeling his life fade away, trying to keep his mind off of the onset of fear.

"I want to become the Shadow Monarch and create a shadow kingdom filled with shadow soldiers! I want to have a harem as any man does! I want to be powerful, devilishly handsome, and extremely talented! I want to be raised by an extremely beautiful woman who is also extremely strong! I want to live a peaceful life but with the power to defeat and drive away all those who disturb it! I want t—"

As Ted continued to firmly say his dreams, he felt himself begin to sink into darkness, only hearing a few more sounds before he finally died.

******

When Ted next opened his eyes, he saw a face that was examining him.

The face belonged to a beautiful woman, who Ted also examined.

The woman looks to be a fifteen or sixteen year old-looking girl having an imperfect yet complete beauty, as if she was trapped in the very moment when she matured from a girl to an adult. Her heterochromatic eyes glisten in deep crimson and light sky blue. She has a set of pure white fangs.

"How did you get here little guy? Did someone abandon you?"

The woman asked Ted some questions as if she was actually asking herself, before she sighed and picked Ted up from the basket which he was in, before taking him inside the massive palace and having one of the butlers prepare things for Ted.

The woman took Ted to her room as she talked to him.

"My name is Luminous Valentine, and I am going to adopt you as a brother. Your name is Ted Shadowflame and you can call me Luminous or Big Sister Luminous.

When you grow up a little I will begin to have my subordinates train you so you can protect yourself from danger."

As Luminous reached the room where Ted will stay, she opened the door and had the butler place the cradle prepared for Ted in the room.

Luminous then placed Ted in the cradle before playing with him for a while, and leaving afterwards.

Ted looked around and made sure that there was no one there before asking in his head.

'I've been reincarnated again, and in the world of Tensura no less. I guess that my first reincarnation was to the world where Rimuru was in when he was a human, and now I am in the Cardinal World.'

[Notice. The individual Ted Shadowflame has been reincarnated in the Cardinal World]

'Who's there?!'

Ted's eyes opened wide as he was shocked about hearing a voice in his head.

'Yes please. I want a physical body cultivation skill like the Divine Elephant Prison Force and a spirit cultivation skill like the Primordial Chaos Divine Grindstone Visualisation Technique. Are you able to do that? It is okay if they are severely weakened as they can be improved later. Can you also spend a month creating them, to improve it to the best possible?'

[Notice. Using the Ultimate Skill [Heaven Defying Understanding] and the Unique Skill [Wise Spirit Sage] to create 2 techniques.]

After this, Ted went to sleep, having a sweet dream.

******

A month has passed and the techniques have finally been created.

Ted is currently walking unsteadily, focusing on walking when he heard the sound of the Unique Skill [Wise Spirit Sage] and stumbled backward, falling on his bottom.

"Little Ted! Are you okay?"

At the time Ted fell, Luminous came forward and asked him concerned. Ted looked up and gave Luminous a wide grin and replied.

"I'm okay. I'm sorry to worry you Big Sister Luminous."

Luminous picked Ted up, looking at him seriously, before having her expression collapsed and sighed while telling him.

"Don't do that again. It's dangerous and it worries me. You have to be more careful. You are growing up so fast, faster than even most reincarnators, so you can slow down a little."

"I got it Big Sister Luminous. I'll be more careful."

After that they played for a while longer before Luminous had something to do.
