《Light beyond darkness》 Act.1 Naive or stupid? Lets open the stage with my introduction. I''m Shiro Kuronosuke i know its kinda lame but dont blame my parents there is nothing i can realy hate of then im 31 y/o and until a week ago i was living the perfect life that is if you are willing to ignore the fact that im a decendant of a bloody assasins family. My family is pretty strict when it comes to business and work, as you can guess we get paid insane amouts of money in exchange of our services so we basically are a fair economical power in our city. From what my father told me i was born to be the perfect assasin....*Hahahaha*....sorry it was kinda funny remembering that ''cuz in truth and sadly im perfect in everything except social life....i have a good trained body im fairly good looking but lets skip that its boring talkin about me...back to my parents my father drilled me from 5y/o to my late 16 all techniques he knew from swords, daggers, poisons and guns to all kind of martial arts. As i already said i was an all around guy except for social, my grades over the average and good in sports. But sadly it wasn''t until highschool that i managed to get my first friend and at the end of it my first love interest. Now lets talk about my job im an assasin but not the kind that just go killing every single guy he is told we evaluate the target and see if he is actually a cancer to society or the world and dont kill just for the money its a lame reason of our so called justice. After having everything i wanted it was time to pay the bill with my parents and follow their freakin tradion of arranged marriage with another assasin and it doesnt matter if she loves me or hate me its lame...i made a bet with my father if after 3 yeads of relation with my current girl everything is fine i will accept if not ...well you now what would happen... So we arrive at what i like to call the Hell weekend.. Friday night ending a mission of killing a corrupt fat bastard who used his power to abuse every single girl he liked, i ended it clean and was heading back to my apartment with a ring in hand ''cuz sadly it was the 3rd year with her...you can guess what happen when i open the door of my room ...you know what happen right? Bingo my "only" friend and my girlfriend playing twister in my bed...yeah sure... having sex actually. So i guess i should go back from where i came right?" I say with a big poker face. "Shiro, wait i can explain this" wow i cant believe it she actually said those cliche lines ahahaha "Actually i had already the idea for a couple of weeks around my head but i was kinda in a denial, you know me...having only him or you ...o wait thats right i have no one left..." at that moment i remembered all the times i saved my ''so called friend'' ass going from bullies to gangsters and thats how he repay me... *sigh* "You know there is always a reason shiro please let me explain." As if she had anything to explain or were my eyes failing me when i saw that well i might as well burn this little relation we have left. "You know whats this?" I showed her the ring "it was today the day i would propose you marriage but seems it was kinda one sided...o by the way that guy already screwed your cousin and your sister" i atually said that well hope she is fine with that mediocre guy. Having done that i toss the ring as hard as i could, go back to my room where i see a total stranger with a towel covering his low pride. I grab him from the neck and kick him out of the room closing the door acter that. I wont lie i was betrayed by my friend and girl i was totally pissed and i was looking for a way to vent my anger. After 5min passed they actually realized they had their clothes in my room ahahahahaha after such a scene my anger was majestically washed away. What? dissapointed that i didnt kill''em just cuz im an assasin? Bad for you sick''o i have never killed anyone for that kind of lame reason. After that i started hearing the voices arguing. "I cant believe it you already fucked my cousin and my sister how low can you go?" "Now, now calm down you were actually liking this ''cheating on bis back'' relation but i will miss leeching that guy money... he always had a lot with him but i never met his famly, i dont even know what his work is... thats why i never liked him" " he was naive i always told him to pick his friends better...wait that ring looked kinda expensive."says the slut that i''ve been pumping for the past 2 years. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. After a few minutes it seems like they wew trying to find the ring as i was laughing like crazy at their faces...it did hurt me when they said all that crap but o well i just know that karma is indeed a bitch because after another 5 minutes i recieved a call from a trusted client. "Yo how ya doin my dear cerberus?" "Well ignoring my broken heart all is fine" "Oh my seems that i called in perfect time then i have a good job for ya" "Lets hear about it" with said i started smiling like a kid with a christmas present 2 days later: "O what a good day...to die..."yep just like that the mission is basically suicidal i tried looking for safe and clean work but i have no brain for if after that night so im kinda in a rampage inside a yakuza hideout. Im out of ammo and left with a smoke granade 2 throwing knives and my trustworthy hidden dagger. And no there are no katanas ''cuz this isnt the meiji era anymore and even if i look like a ninja a katana restrict my movements heavily while infiltrating. so the last room have around 5 peoples inside so lets end this. "Leeeeroy jenkiiins~" best battle shout ever...*sigh* im so bad i know... I opened the door with a kick leavin the smoke granade rolling inside while everyone is blind i just throw my first knife at the guy in the midddle and...wait for it....headshot, one down 4 left i keep my last throwing knife just in case, i run to the nearest guy and slit his throat with my dagger while he bleeds to death i take his body as a shield and throw it to another one, i jump to the nest guy and stab him in the chest...crap i cant lose time trying to get the dagger back so i just leave it in the body,*bang* i guess this is my end..well karma is a bitch but i''ll take em with me...with the last throwing knife i kill the last guy standing while i jump and kick the head of the guy who was knocked down with a body i believe i used enough force to end his life so everyone is down 40 friggon yakuzas dead by my hand...should i feel bad? Nah fuck them hard after all i believe i will meet them in a moment they are no saints and neither i am so lets reunite in hell or whatever we go... While my vision slowly fades away i start the typical cliche scene of all my past.... "My only regret is that i was never able to trust anyone" with that i close my eyes and slowly drift into the darkness.... ....i said drift into the darkness not into the light whats wrong with me i dont have the will to keep living such life of killing for any reason i want to chose what i believe and who so let me die in this place at least... *cough cough*" I think you are misunderstanding something..." -mysterious voice "So what we are adding this story to the cliche reincarnation pile?" I say with no fear. "If you like it i can send you back to the boring cycle of life and death of the earth"-mysterious voice "So you are actually telling me to choose????" Realy?? "Well your life was kinda lame you know...also in some sense sad you never realized your so called friend was actually using you for money/bodyguard duty and in the end thats all you knew..." "So....emmmm...dear god or whatever you are why do i get a second chance? I dont recall any good deed to deserve it sadly" its the sad truth "C''mon stop the acting at 7 you saved an old lady from a truck, at 14 you actually rescued a whole dam building filled with hostages just by completing a mission and at 21 you actually adopted an abandoned kitty" he said that but something is kinda odd here So i might as well ask" so yea the old lady deserved being saved, the hostages where not my intention...and the kitty..really? Well not gonna lie if i say i dont want it but give me the true reason" after that he seemed to be thinking "Ok here goes my lame explanation you see did you notice that you did those 3 deeds in a 7 year time diference? Well lets say that you just got you lucky 777 and hit the jackpot is that enough?" ...with that lame excuse i was still floating in a white neverending space trying to hold my laugh while hearing all that lucky crap... well seems like it was not the end of my story at all. Act.2 curse or blessing? Aaaaaaaaand thats how i defeated the mythical panty stealing beast using only my pinky finger.... Wait where were we? Oh...right, this whole floating in a white neverending space is kinda ...whats the word? Yeah right its giving me the creeps...not knowing who the heck im talking to and just listening to what he says...well at least he keeps me company so lets keep chattin'' with him. "Ok so i got insanely lucky and i get a free ticket to get reborn?....just to be clear im not the kind of person who trust everything he is told" after a couple of minutes he finally speak. "*sigh* it seems that even after regreting it in your final moments you still dont get it at all... fine let me show you something that will make you regret your words." After that i just hear a loud *snap* and after that a cute kitty appears in front of me...so cute i wanna hug it yay~ *snap* after that the kitty is dead...."honestly why did you kill him...he was just an innocent kitty for fuck sake..." i got hit my an invisible bitch slap and then " well you killed him by not believing my words" he is starting to use a pretty rough tone of voice, is he angry? "Of course im angry i killed a god dam kitty and you still think of nothing but shit about just happened, i mean look around you are here alone yet you are speaking to someone who just by snaping his fingers he can create life and as well take it away...who in the....*sigh* sorry i had to let it out so back on topic. I''ll be honest you had already started to drift to the other world soul stream. I only picked your soul and read if you were not that ''corrupted'' but to my surprise you are in balance with your light and darkness, your morals even after being cheated by both friend and girlfriend are still good enough to send you without worrying about you going all balls deep into madness and creating a nuke in the new world, so it is fine to let you go" after that i started to finally thinking seriously. I mean its a second chance why not just grab it if you can? After all if i dont even trust what i just saw i would never move forward to my goal but something is still off... "So ok i indeed want a second chance gladly but im gonna be dead serious...why are you telling me all this? there is no reason for me to know whats coming for me..." lets see if he can at least tell me something. "Mmmmm well i''ll tell you only this im only an spectator, you may call me a sick bastard thanks to my boring life of only watching what other people do. But i have only one rule i cant break and that is messing with the mortal plane. Where you are going is heading towards a pretty dark future, not an apocalipsis or something that extreme but every single time i watch the sins of your kind it hurts and cant help it wanting to do something" Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.Mmmm im starting to get a grip of what he wants "so you want me to act as your puppet there?" "O boy you sure have some serious issues trusting people, what i want is the simple ''i scratch your back and you scratch mine'' or ''give and take'' im offering you new life in exchange of you following your own path, i know that just by throwing you in that world you will change the course of events so i dont require anything, and remember only 1 thing never EVER think that the destiny is carved in stone" After he said that i actually started to believe in it so lets take the chance and see what the future holds for me. "Ok then i''ll believe your words and go my own way in that life, but is it necessary for me to keep my mind as it is?" "Sadly, yes...if not for your knowledge and experiences that world would be doom, anyway lets start get started" Mmmmi wonder if it will be one of those rpg like worlds... "No this is a plain world with no stats or questing nor evolution windows popping in your face like magic" damn i was hoping to much, o well lets try to follow my own path in this life hopefully i''ll have a true family this time "Well it was a fun time that after a thousand years i finally had another interesting partner but its the first and last time we will meet, dont regret any choice you will make because after all mistakes is what makes you human, farewell" After that with a loud *snap* everything became shrouded in darkness but not a cold darkness but a warm one i felt so confortable here i just wanted to sleep. Its been a while since i spoke with god but as im shrouded in this darkness i kinda dont have any sense of time...hopefully i noticed that im not in a big place, actually i feel like im inside of some kind of bag.... o well lets keep my comfy place to sleep yay~ OMFG i can see the light is that heaven? My new life? Heck i gotta take the chance...after that i feel something grabing me by my leg and slowly pulling me out without hurting me, after some minutes im surrounded by light and i can only see blurry people, one in a bed by the lenght of the hair i think its female, and im in the hands of someone, the only thing i can hear is some weir dialect that sounds like a mix of all earth languages forced into one...i think i''ll have to start by learning the language and reading for a while but i just know this is only the beggining
