Chapter 5 - background

At just nine years old, Cian Archdemon doesn't walk the school halls like the other children — he owns them.

Small in height, slim in build, yet his presence alone freezes the room. His sharp, perfectly defined features are too striking for his age — with flawless fair skin, jet-black silky hair that falls neatly across his forehead, and deep grey eyes that seem to see through lies, people, and even adults. His expression rarely changes from a calm, cold blankness, making him appear detached — yet those same features give him an unintentionally adorable, prince-like charm that leaves even high-school seniors sneaking glances at him.

Teachers call him the "Charming Demon Prince" behind closed doors — partly for his unreal attractiveness, but mostly for the terrifying intellect and ruthless personality hidden beneath his sweet face.

Unlike most boys his age, Cian doesn't waste time chasing silly games or playground fights. His world is made of numbers, theories, and endless questions. Science is his playground. His curiosity about how the universe works burns so fiercely it often consumes his entire day. Quantum mechanics, biology, chemistry — topics far beyond his age level — are his obsession. While others solve basic math, Cian spends sleepless nights buried in scientific journals, engineering blueprints, and medical textbooks, downloaded secretly onto his tablet.

But it's not just his mind that makes him dangerous.

Cian's bloodline carries the quiet whispers of something darker — an ancient demonic heritage passed down through generations, though hidden behind the polished glass of the modern world. His parents, respected figures in society, are the only ones who know the truth: their adorable, genius son hides a ruthlessness far beyond his years.

Beneath his cold demeanor is a heart that beats fiercely for his family. His parents, his little sister, his household — they are his world. Anyone who threatens them, whether bully or adult, meets a side of Cian that defies his youthful appearance — merciless, calculating, and impossible to intimidate. Though his small stature makes adults underestimate him, his eyes hold an unnerving calm — as if he's already planned how to dismantle their arrogance.

Cian's classmates adore him, fear him, or avoid him entirely. Girls blush when he walks past — drawn by his sweet fragrance and angelic appearance — but Cian pays no attention. He finds childish crushes irritating, the very idea of a harem ridiculous. His mind has no room for such nonsense — only science, self-growth, and protecting those he loves.

Despite his age, Cian is respected by adults, often solving problems that stump even the teachers. He's invited to advanced classes, science clubs, and special programs, yet never boasts — his focus remains fixed on pushing himself beyond human limits.

In a world of playground drama, Cian Archdemon is a storm wrapped in silk — young, sweet-faced, genius, yet utterly uncompromising. His classmates may play pretend heroes. But one day, they'll realize — the true predator in the room isn't the tallest, strongest, or oldest.

It's the quiet boy with the ice-cold eyes and the curious mind — the one who already understands how the world really works.
