Manhwa Chapter 2

## Chapter Two

**Chapter Two** is the second chapter of the manhwa adaptation of the novel Damn Reincarnation.

## Summary

Vermouth Lionheart is known for having multiple concubines in addition to his first wife. Eugene thought it was unusual for him to chase after many women and bear many children and contemplates whether Vermouth's behavior changed with age, but also recognizes that it is a common aspect of human nature. Within the Lionheart family, there are various branch families, and only the children of the first wife are considered part of the direct line. As a member of the collateral line, Eugene is not allowed to train his mana or use advanced swords until the bloodline continuation ceremony.

As he takes out a wooden sword, Eugene declares that it will be the last time he uses it and proceeds to completely destroy the pell with one swing. His father, Gerhard Lionheart, who is watching from behind, is shocked by the display and notices veins popping out on Eugene's extremely muscular body. He admits that he would likely lose in a hand-to-hand combat against his son, expressing fear and noting that Eugene does not look, act, or speak like a child. Eugene's eyes are described as scary and lacking innocence, and although he lost his mother in early childhood, he has never expressed any desire to miss her.

In response to the pells that he easily destroys, Eugene insults the town blacksmith's skills, calling them absolute trash and suggesting that the blacksmith should be whipped as punishment for selling the poor-quality equipment. He also accuses his father of being generous for buying the pells. Gerhard responds by saying that he will give the blacksmith a warning.

During the bloodline continuation ceremony, held every 10 years, all children aged 10 to 15 gather at the main estate of the Lionheart Family to compete for the right to bear the Lionheart name. There are three children from the direct line competing in the ceremony, including the son of the first wife and twins from a concubine, as well as six children from the collateral line. Eugene is eager to see how talented Vermouth's descendants are and plans to ignore his father's warning not to compete with the direct line children.

On the day of the ceremony, Gordon escorts Eugene to the main estate on a carriage. Eugene remembers his past life as Hamel, who was once prideful but realized that there were others much stronger than him when he met Vermouth, a skilled magic and sword user known as the God of War. Vermouth was formerly a duke in the Kiehl Empire and is praised as a warrior even after his death. Sienna was known as a magic tower master in the Aroth Kingdom, Anise was honored as a Saint in the Holy Empire Yuras, and Molon established a kingdom named after himself. However, Eugene remains distressed that the demon king is still alive and recalls Vermouth's promise to defeat all the demon kings. Hamel died at the Demon King of Incarceration's castle, and Vermouth made a deal with the Demon King to end the war, which kept the world at peace for 300 years.

Gordon assumes Eugene is nervous and smugly tells him it's too late to turn back. He then reveals they were not given permission to use a warpgate to teleport to the estate, which is why they are on a carriage. After a while, they arrive at the Lionheart Estate.
