Chapter 4 The Birth

[ Past: Hundred years ago...] The guardian warriors, which were formed by the different human Sects from different clans, were also categorized into four types of extraordinary human beings. Shamans were humans gifted with magical skills, abilities, and powers. The most widely known characteristic of a shaman was the ability to cast a spell. Spells were cast by many methods, such as inscribing runes or sigils on an object to give that object magical powers, reciting incantations, performing rituals, and making magical herbs as amulets or potions. The second type was called a hybrid. Hybrids were a combination of human and animal traits. Their appearances were a merger of human characteristics with animal traits that portray humanity's conflicted or divided nature. They also possessed a unique superhuman power. The third type was Element-Wielder. They were human, gifted with powers to control elements such as fire, water, earth, air, ice, and lightning. And the last, the fourth type, was the Healer. They had the power to regenerate and heal their injuries. Aside from that, Healers could heal other beings, either normal humans or extraordinary human beings like Hybrids, Shamans, and Element-wielders. These combined forces of different types of extraordinary human beings would serve as the guardian warriors who were tasked to protect the world against the demon god. They underwent serious training together for the war preparation in fighting the demon god. Different clans, different sects, and different human beings were united to kill the monstrous demon god. Now, all they had to do was find out the whereabouts of the demon god who had disappeared for almost a year now. ----------------- On the other side... As the guardian warriors were busy trying to track down the whereabouts of the demon god who had gone missing for a long time, Zu Wan was busy pacing back and forth outside the cave. Today was the day that Eva would give birth to their firstborn child, and Zu Wan was anxiously waiting outside. He was very nervous as he heard Eva's voice screaming in pain as she was currently in labor. Then time passed, which for Zu Wan seemed like ages, Eva's screaming stopped, and was replaced by the crying sound of a newborn baby. Zu Wan could not bear to wait any longer and stayed outside, so he ran inside only to see a small, beautiful creature placed in Eva's bare chest. Zu Wan paused on his track and remained standing at a distance as he admired the most beautiful scene he had ever seen in his life. Eva noticed her husband, Zu Wa, who was frozen on his spot like a statue. Eva let out a soft chuckle as she could not explain her husband's expressions. "Zu Wan, what are you doing there. Come here and see our beautiful daughter!" It was Eva's voice that awakened Zu WaWa from his deep stupor. He stepped forward towards his wife and child. When he reached them, as if the child sensed her father's presence so she opened her eyes. As a demon god like him, everyone thought that he was not capable of feeling any emotions other than anger, hatred, and ruthlessness. But when Zu Wan saw his child's face, something flashed in his dark eye; it was love, happiness, and gentleness. He could not explain what he was feeling right now. He thought meeting Eva was the happiest moment of his life. But he was mistaken because meeting Eva was the start of his happiness in life, and there were more joyful things that kept happening right now. "Zu Wan, are you happy? You are a father now." Eva said to him as she noticed his bright mood. "Am I a father now?" Zu Wan blurted out foolishly, which earned another wave of laughter from his wife Eva. "Yes, you are!" Eva exclaimed to him. When Zu Wan heard her, his heart was screaming in joy. "Yes, I am a father now! I am a father now!" Zu Wan was shouting and jumping gleefully. He almost flew and used his power because of overwhelming happiness. Fortunately, he was able to control himself. As if the child could understand her father's feelings, the child's small lips curled up into a smile.
