Intro Your mom died saving you from the curse of The First Born Son. . Your family descended directly from Reuven family, if not still is: perhaps one of your ancestors tried escaping the curse this way to no avail? To the powers that be, you remain a Reuven, the contract still binds: great fortune and easy life, at the price of loss of the first born male. . It is absurd, like somehow life conspire to ensure that every Reuven always has wealth and comfortable life, if they live, no matter how unwise or how unfortunate their situations are. ie: your great uncle Thomas was stranded in a remote island filled with savage cannibals: he's rescued years after: they found the locals worshipped him as a deity instead of eating him, he lived in comfort and luxury. Another tale: your great ancestor Gary Reuven, who gained wealth just from gambling, winning the most unlikely games of chance just out of sheer great luck. . It is Reuven family's utmost kept secret that the great fortune they enjoy comes from a deal with literally the Devil: that every first born son is to die at around age 17: they'd either just die, or lose their minds then die, their souls go to Helel. They must not be killed untimely either, those responsible die too, personally taken by Helel in most vindictive manner. . But over many generations, modernity and various causes lead to declining birth rates; guaranteed loss of first son, acceptable at first, hurt the family more and more. Reuvens declined in number until there's only you left: the first son and the only child! . You were 16 when your mother Layla the Witch, in desperation after a lifetime of arcane study, did a ritual to save you from Helel. She, uh, turned you into a girl: totally female feminine down to every cell! . "Forgive me, child. It's the only way to spare you. Now that there's no more first born son, they cannot take you. But I had broken the natural laws and now must pay with my life. Live well, dear daughter..." . You are all alone now..
