Demon Shrine

Your birth was like a curse on the heads of the village where you lived. Born under an unlucky star, you brought horror to your parents' home when they saw your appearance. You looked nothing like them, and in fact, you were completely inhuman. Unlike other newborns, you already looked like you were about three months old, and you even had full hair, something that was impossible for human babies at birth.

The villagers said to throw you into the first river or sewer—to destroy the unfortunate child—but your parents feared that if they did so, they would be executed by someone worse. That's why, remembering the strange people in the place where the neighboring village had once stood, which had been burned, your father brought yours to the doors of the monastery, which was now used as their main place of prayer.

When the servant opened the door, he saw a child lying in a basket, insulated with sheets, who clearly did not look like a human being, and even had inhuman features.

The man considered it a gift from their leader.

From that day on, you began to live as their new leader. You grew not by the month, but practically by the hour. Even at 10, you looked as if you were 19, and your mind was perfectly formed.
