"Not worth it. Tell them."
She responded, not moving her gaze from the baby in her hands.
The man behind the door paused as if he was shocked before he solemnly replied.
"As you command, Mistress Starborn ." With that, the man left.
The room was once again returned to silence; the woman named Starborn moved her head slightly, and he was taken away by a midwife, put into a wooden cradle, and covered with a thin sheet.
His mind was in chaos; a single name was all he could hear inside.
Starborn
'Now I remember why I felt she looked familiar... it seems that I have reincarnated into the novel "Divine Swordmasters," and not only that, as one of the children of the wife of the patriarch of Starborn Family.'
He didn't know whether to cry or laugh; he was now a bit reassured that he wouldn't be killed for being useless, but the family was a bit difficult...
The novel called Divine swordmasters was a hot serialized novel, and he was quite a fan of the work; he had invested money to support the Author as well for his work.
The novel was about Swordmaster, Magician and evil beings called demons; the world was filled with demons since ancient times, and these demons feasted upon human souls and were tyrannically dominant.
However, soon some humans rose and hunted down the demons; they used supernatural powers rivaling those of demons and killed them relentlessly, claiming the world back slowly.
These powerful humans called themselves The Hunters!
The world was soon thrown into chaos as it became a battleground for the Hunter and demons.
The protagonist of the novel was a young Magic swordsman who led others and annihilated the demons, bringing the world to peace.
It majorly focused on the protagonist's journey and his challenges as he became stronger bit by bit.
According to his memories, the hunters were mainly controlled by Seven major Families. These were the strongest families consisting of some of the most powerful and terrifying hunters.
They were the major leaders of the world at the moment.
The Starborn Family was one of the seven great families, having ancient roots.
But... It was an extremely cruel Family .
For greater benefit, they were willing to use any extreme methods, going as far as to kill their own comrades to annihilate the demons.
Their methods were frowned upon by many, but no one dared to openly criticize them either; after all, each official Hunter from the clan was a master.
The family had also earned itself the title as the clan that purged the most demons.
'This is troublesome now...'
He was a bit helpless; the family was not only cruel to the demons but also to its members; their training was ruthless and inhuman, clearly not a place for weaklings or soft-hearted people at all.
It was a nightmarish place, to be honest.
But what bugged him more was that he had been branded 'Trash' by Elina Starborn , his so-called mother in this life.
Elina Starborn was one of the strongest female hunters; she had multiple abilities and was feared by demons and humans alike.
What made her even more terrifying was the fact that she barely showed any emotion to anything.
He didn't dare doubt her words; if Elina Starborn classified him as trash, then it meant that he really was.
She possessed a special pair of eyes that let her discern a person's worth and their talents. It was one of the six special eyes after all.
'But what should I do now? I must not have any talent for being a Hunter. How am I going to live here?' He was quite worried now that he was aware of his situation more clearly.
'Not only that but I am not even a special character, just a mob child of the clan with no talent for being a hunter. How lame.'
He knew that the moment he stepped outside, he would either be killed by demons or would be kidnapped for his bloodline.
'Not only that, the Starborn family is quite infamous in the hunter circle, even in the novel, they had multiple clashes with the protagonist for not sharing the same morals and beliefs.'
Just as he felt all hope was lost, he heard a sound in his mind.
