Chapter 1: A Chance
It was like an endless void had stooped my body and clouded my mind. I could barely think or feel anything. The I felt a deep drumming, almost like a heartbeat. I could see a bright light, the everything went dark again.
I woke up in a small grass basket, surrounded by others that looked similar. In each one, they had a strange looking green child laying in them. My skin was also green, but a bit darker in color. I saw an old green humanoid walk around the place, as if protecting it. I could feel it in my heart, this was a second chance. A chance to truly live my life and not end up miserable like I was. A chance to live, laugh, maybe even love. I closed my eyes and dreamt of living like the other children from my previous life did, without a care in the world.

I woke up once again, but this time I was much bigger, as if I was about a year old. I still couldn't crawl yet, but I could feel a strange energy in the surrounding air. I tried to pull it in, due to bodily instinct, and found it very slowly increased my strength. I decided to do this until I fall asleep.

I woke up once more except now my body was that of a small child, and I could move easily. I moved out of the small bed I was laid in. I would need to get used to this small body. Stuck in my head was a number, a fraction to be precise. It was 15/100. As I had no idea what it meant, I decided to ignore it for now.
As I looked at myself, I noticed my skin was darker, and my hair reached to my eyebrows. I had long canine teeth, and all of my teeth were very sharp.
I wandered through the caves the bed was placed in, and I noticed there was a very interesting library that I had not expected. I saw some people who looked much larger and stronger than me walk by, so I walked by them, ignoring them. I made it to the library and went to a random section. As I saw the label, I didn't recognize the language but my instincts told me it said "Human" as I stared at the word for a second, the language was imprinted into my brain, and it was as fluent as my English.
I picked up a book off of the shelf that said Human Cultivation. It talked about how all races absorb Qi , but some of the more humanoid races, such as a few goblin variants or normal humans, can use the spirits of demon beasts to fuse with and gain strength proportional to that beast, as well as the form of that beast, if it's humanoid, or a form resembling it if it's more beast-like. Although they can do this, if the demon beast's cultivation is too high, the fusion will not be possible. They can also un-fuse to fuse with another demon spirit.
I stopped reading after a couple of hours to wander around again. As I walked, I concentrated on the energy I was absorbing previously. It seemed to be the Qi the book mentioned. I tried absorbing it while wandering. It took concentration, but it worked decently enough.
I searched through the cave system for a few hours, ending up in a very low, wet cave. It didn't look like anyone had ever set foot in it. I had a torch with me that I grabbed from the upper levels. As I turned a cave corner, a saw a large crack in the wall that looked newly formed. The crack was emitting a large white light in one half, with the other half emitting a blackish energy. The crack was big enough for me to slide through, so I turned sideways and squeezed through. Once inside, there were two swords in stone about two feet away from each other. The one on the right was a double-edged white great-sword stuck in the stone, while the one on the left was a black sword, still double edged, but curving near the end. They both emitted a strange energy. The strange energy pressured me to pick one, and only one.
I contemplated, based on what I know about this world already, this choice could affect my entire life. Since I didn't know what would happen if I chose an individual sword, I went the normal main character route, and grabbed the swords, one in each hand, and pulled upward.
The pressure seemed to vibrate a bit, as if laughing at my choice. As the swords slowly inched out of the ground, the vibration stopped, as if the force was shocked. After a few seconds of very strongly pulling on the swords, they were both unsheathes from the ground.
A light enveloped my body as each sword turned into a strange energy and entered my soul, which I learned what was from the reading. They immediately took root and would not leave unless I used them. All energy in the room vanished, before I left the room and headed towards the room I woke up in, suddenly tired.
************** ************** **********
When I woke up, I was in slightly larger body, and my growth rate had slowed. I could feel my body was stronger yesterday, and had more energy. The fraction in my head changed from 15/100 to 25/100. After a few minutes of laying there, a nice looking lady who appeared as a maid walked in. She had green skin, like everyone I've seen here, and was politely smiling. "Please put this on" she asked politely, handing me a bundle of clothes my size. I obeyed and put them on, replacing my tattered clothes from my growth. "Follow me please" She asked. She was strangely polite. "Ma'am, may I know your name?" I tried acting as politely as I could. Unbeknownst to me, she was thinking I'd be a ladykiller once I got older, as I was already so smart while my brethren from the same batch were still acting on their basest instincts.
"Mary Rosemelle, young master" she replied, still too polite. "Nice to meet you, Miss Rosemelle" I flashed her a smile. She led me to a large corridor I hadn't previously seen, and once the door was opened, I could see a red carpet to a throne with a large green-skinned man wearing a crown sat. To my left were people wearing fancy clothes similar to mine, while to my right, a group of people wearing uniforms stood respectfully. The people in the uniform bowed and said "Welcome, first prince!"
