《UnWanted:The empire of Death Saga》 A spark of light Taeko: Sometimes, I wonder why I still am alive. No matter how much I want it, I can''t bring myself to enjoy life. He slowly gets out of bed. Taeko: Either way, good morning! He waves at the small bug on the wall of his room. Taeko: Today is the first day of school. First-year of high school. Now that I think of it. He slowly falls on the floor with a blank expression. Taeko: I won''t have anyone in my school that I know. I am so dead. He starts screaming and banging his head against a wall. Taeko moves to the kitchen. He eats breakfast and dresses up. He slowly walks out of his home. Taeko: Goodby- He stops and stands still in the doorway. Taeko: Oh yeah, I have no family. He looks down, feeling miserable. Yumi: What''s with that sad look? A fine girl that looked his age approached the boy. She lowered herself to look him in the eyes. Taeko: Do I know you? Yumi: We used to be in the same school, but I don''t think we ever met. Taeko: Look, I have to go to school now. He starts walking, leaving her behind.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Yumi: Cherry blossom highschool? Taeko turns around with a tear in his eye. Yumi: Are you crying?! He jumps towards her. Taeko: I can make a friend! Yumi: You''re quite the odd one. Taeko: Either way, I will get going. Yumi: Let''s walk together! He freezes and looks at her. Yumi: I am sorry if you don''t want to. Taeko: No, it''s just that I am waiting for you to catch up with me. She smiled and started running towards him. The two walk and after a few good minutes. Taeko: My sword. Yumi: Sword! Taeko: Stay here! He starts running away. Yumi: Taeko? The boy reaches his home. He goes in and grabs his only possession related to his family. It was a traditional sword. Taeko: Aw man, I am so stupid. The boy slowly starts walking to school, alone this time. Random person: Someone help! Taeko looks to his right to see an old man. Two men were standing, one watching, one beating him up. The boy gets angry and starts approaching them. Taeko: Two on one isn''t fair. Masked man: So what will you do? Taeko pulls his sword out. Taeko: I always trained on dummies. But I guess I''ll use it on you this time. Masked man: Oh, is that so? The one watching pulls out a scythe and cuts the man in half. Ken: Useless. Taeko watches in fear. Old person: You don''t know what you''ve gotten yourself into, son. Ken slashes the elder too. Ken: Silence! Taeko: Just what are you? Ken: I''ll use my fists only. If you lose this fight, I''ll slash you until you''re dead. I''ll also have your sword. Taeko: You monster, what did that man do to you! Taeko screams at him, filled with anger. Ken: Bahaha, well then. We shall begin. Ken starts running towards the boy and jumps. Taeko slashes upwards. The man appears behind him. Taeko gets kicked in the back, falling. Taeko: How did you do that? The boy uses his sword to get up. He kneels, being too weak to stand. Ken: Let''s end this. Ken starts running the boy, with his fist raised. His hand started to turn purple, with flames all over it. Yumi: Stop! The man stops before almost hitting the boy in his face. Ken: A hottie! Get out of here! I don''t want any more dead bodies. Taeko thinks: So this is the end? All these years, I locked myself in. I tried to save someone. I failed. Mom, I''m coming home. Ken: Ok then, let me end this and get the hell out of here. A boy jumps from a building, kicking Ken in his stomach. The man falls to the ground. Taeko: Why? The boy takes out his hood. Katashi: Call me Katashi. He smiles at Taeko. Takeo thinks: It''s like, life stopped and started again. Everything is moving so slow. Just who are you? Who are you? Ken: Who the hell do you think you are? The boy who was standing in front of Taeko looked young. His force was questionable. Katashi: I can''t quite seem to understand why you think that fight was a fair one. Ken: I see, well. I wouldn''t waste my time fighting you. I already know my chances to win are low. The man jumped high in the air, landing on the nearest building. Ken: This is not the last time we''ll meet. Ta-e-ko. The look in Ken''s eyes didn''t seem much friendly. It was full of rage and despair.The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Taeko: What is going on here? Katashi: You think you can protect that sword when you are this weak? Taeko got up and started heading towards Yumi. Taeko: Let''s go. Katashi: Where are you heading? That man is after you. You''ll die in a matter of seconds next time. Yumi: I want answers before I go. Katashi appeared at Yumi''s back and hit her neck, making her unconscious. Katashi: Ah, sorry. You looked quite cute. Taeko: I can''t tell if I am dreaming at this point. Katashi: I''ll erase her memories of you. Anyway, let''s go! Taeko froze in place. Taeko: Do you think I can go along with all of this? I don''t want her to forget me. Katashi: Negative. Taeko: Are you going to leave her here unconscious? Katashi: My people will come to get her. Anyway, we don''t have time to waste. Taeko: So how will I be able to get stronger? Katashi: Ethan will help you. Taeko: Who the hell is Ethan? Ethan: The mysterious Swordsman Taeko starts following Katashi. He wouldn''t stop walking. Taeko: The sun is about to go down. Are you planning to continue at night? Anyway, what are we doing in a forest? The boys were advancing through the forest. They had to stop there.

Taeko started collecting sticks. He figured out that it was the right time to talk to Katashi. Taeko: So, how are you planning to make me "stronger"? Katashi stood silent with his eyes closed. He was resting on a log. Taeko: Who is that Ethan guy that is supposed to help me? Katashi: He went through a lot. Sit down, take a break so I can tell you about him. Taeko sat down on the log beside him, curious about the identity of Ethan. Ethans childhood It was a pleasant day in the town of London. Everything was blooming in 1998. Ethan was a child at the time of this. He used to live with his older brother. Edward: Eeeethan? The young boy was woken up by his older brother. Ethan: Brother, you know I don''t like to wake up early! The child got dressed and went downstairs, where his brother was awaiting him with breakfast. Edward: I will have quite a busy day today. I won''t be back until late at night. Sorry to wake you up, but you have to eat.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. Ethan: Mhm! The child slowly fell asleep, with his head resting on the table. Edward got close to Ethan and patted his head. Edward: I''m sorry. A tear rolled down his cheek. Edward grabbed a blanket and placed it around his brother. Ethan woke up after many hours, confused about where he was. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the clock. Ethan: Twenty? OH MY GOD! He jumped out of his chair and ran to his room. He took a beautiful painting from under his bed. Ethan: I forgot to give brother his birthday gift. I am bloody dumb. Ethan put his coat on and started running. Ethan: Where did brother work again? I remember! He headed to some vast mansion, where his brother used to work. He heard some whispers from a dark alley. Edward: Let''s finish this. Ethan stopped and slowly turned his head towards the direction of the sound. Ethan: Brother?
