Eunuch's Rebirth: I Reincarnated With My Manhood as the Young Master-Chapter 42: Nefarius’s backstory

’People say a mother’s womb is the safest place. But my mother tried to kill me more than once while I was still in hers,’ Nefarius thought.

She even tried to kill me after I was born.

Nefarius’s mother was a slave to a noble count who served under the Nightbriar household—one of the seven great families.

I don’t know if she wanted me to die out of love, so I wouldn’t have to suffer as a slave...

Or if she truly hated me, because I was born from the many men who violated her mercilessly...

Grit!!

Nefarius’s life was hell from birth. However, he loved his mother unconditionally. Even if she didn’t like him, he loved her with all his heart. He would do many things to make her happy, but all he received was his mother’s coldness.

Time passed, and at the age of seven, his mother died from an illness caused by unprotected sexual contact.

Nefarius was traumatized by the realization, and from then on, he lived like an emotionless slave.

But everything changed when he turned twenty. The noble count brought in a new slave girl around his age.

Her name was Anna.

Nefarius fell in love with her, and the same was true for her. For the first time, Nefarius found the love he had desired since birth.

But fate wasn’t kind.

Anna was sold to another place, and Nefarius was trapped in the count’s household. He tried to escape but failed and was tortured. He became a torture dummy for the executioner and remained that way for about a year.

Until one day, a swordsman came and killed the count for his illegal activities. He was a hero of that era.

The swordsman saw potential in Nefarius and took him in as his disciple. There were two other disciples—one was the current dean of Rajuk Caeloria Academy, William Ivan Goodfella, and the other was a perless woman.

Time passed quickly, and after a couple of years, Nefarius became strong and influential thanks to his master.

Then, he ran away from his master and began searching for Anna relentlessly.

After a long search, he finally found traces of her — and the place she was found was a failed experimental graveyard.

Anna was dead!

And the place she was buried wasn’t really a graveyard, but a dumpyard where failed experiments were discarded.

She had been used for inhuman experiments, and after enduring years of suffering, she finally died.

Nefarius broke down; he lost his reasoning and dug up the entire area.

After digging for days, he found a suitcase labeled "Anna 29075", and inside, maggots and insects were feeding on severed pieces of a human body.

"AAAAAAAAAA..."

Nefarius cried, clutching the rotten body parts. It was Anna’s body, severed into hundreds of pieces.

That moment was so traumatic for Nefarius that he remained dazed for months, lying beside her broken body.

Then, one day, he realized that if he died like this, it wouldn’t be what his love would have wanted. He shouldn’t say this was fate, Since fate is a tool used only by the weak to hide their own inability.

With that, Nefarius regained his composure and buried Anna’s remains properly before setting out to kill everyone involved in the experiments.

But he discovered something unexpected: the man who was the mastermind was none other than the Emperor himself.

Thus, he went to the imperial palace and killed the Emperor. there he discovered that his master, who had taught him so much, knew of the Emperor’s deeds but remained silent.

Since his thirst for revenge wasn’t satisfied, he went to his master and killed him.

This earned him the wrath of the entire Ataraxia Empire and his fellow disciples.

In a battle against the whole empire, Nefarius died at the hands of his fellow disciple, the current dean of the academy, William Ivan Goodfella. William became a hero, while Nefarius went down in history as the worst disaster.

However, fate is truly a mysterious thing. Fate seemed to favor his rebellion and granted him another chance.

Rather than dying, he woke up in a coffin. His whole body was covered in bandages, and beneath them, he could feel stitches. Moreover, a third eye had been placed on his forehead.

After being locked in that coffin for many days, a human came and took him to meet the organization’s leader, who revived him.

Nefarius was taken to a massive chamber, where a throne stood at the far end and countless women’s bodies were scattered across the floor. While, Many hung from the ceiling.

On the throne, a being was seated with three eyes. He radiated a majestic aura—something both holy and unholy at the same time. Nefarius tried to gauge his strength but couldn’t. Moreover, he wasn’t even able to tell whether the being was human, devil, or god.

The three-eyed being looked at Nefarius with pity and spoke, his voice carrying an overwhelming presence.

"The humans are the epitome of hypocrisy, and you are a victim of that. However, I can reunite you with your lover."

"What?!" Nefarius’s eyes widened so much it seemed they would pop out, stunned by the three-eyed being’s unexpected words.

The three-eyed being continued, "Bring me your fellow disciple’s heart, and I’ll revive that girl you love."

Upon hearing his words, Nefarius’s heart began racing and his mind spun wildly.

Since the three-eyed being had revived Nefarius, it was possible for him to revive Anna as well.

Thus, without a single shred of doubt, Nefarius agreed to the three-eyed being’s proposal. And without wasting a moment, he went to the academy to kill William Ivan Goodfella.

* * *

Nefarius and the dean were clashing swords. Nefarius was being pushed back, barely managing to block the dean’s attacks.

Right then, the three-eyed being spoke in Nefarius’s head through the eye on his forehead.

- Retreat.

It was only one word, but it carried ominous energy, and Nefarius felt that if he disobeyed, his heart would explode.

However, why was he telling him to retreat?
