Chapter 1: Tragedic Childhood

-Crack!

A loud noise approached my house; a loud sound of thunder on a day of heavy rain in Tokyo; a loud sound of police shouting in front of my house.

"Freeze! Don't move from your spot! "

I feel bad about this. I came out of my house and I saw a man holding the beheaded heads of my father and my mother.

The shock makes my mind blank, my knees feel numb, and the tears in my eyes start to pour down. Everyone looks at me pitifully.

Why didn't the police apprehend the murderer and even try to kill him? I feel full of despair about this. Should I steal the gun from them? Should I have killed him?

-Bang!

A loud bang of a gun suddenly appears. One of the police looks angry. The other looks like me. A look of despair. This guy is doing the action that I want to see from these policemen.

"What the hell are you doing?"

A man with the look of an ugly bastard started to shout at the man who had shot the killer.

"We were ordered to hold him by our superior. What the hell did you shoot? "Are you stupid?"

This cretin slandered the police officer with an irritating voice.

" You didn't even see that killer? He killed a married couple, and he killed them brutally, and that kid looks traumatized. "

"That bastard is all open. I can't feel comfortable just looking at him. "

He rebutted his superior while looking at me with a sad look.

"You son of..."

"You are going to be fired as a policeman from now on."

He said this while taking his badge and his gun from him. The policeman came up to me and said

"I'm sorry kid, I didn't come on time. I didn't even save your parents. "

He sincerely apologized as he walked back, and the other cops approached the killer's dead body and placed my father and mother in the black bag.

I looked around our home; everything looked terrible, and I found sticky notes around the kitchen.

"Take care of yourself, Rio."

It was my mother's last word to me. I feel numb, angry, and depressed. Everything looks grey, a colorless world with many criminals and bastards.

I'm going to eliminate every bad guy in this world.

-15 years ago

"The Joker" killed another five people in the Saitama District. These five people are among the most wanted people in the Saitama District."

The news became wild about looking for "The Joker," the biggest serial killer in Japan. He killed over 20 policemen, 60 drug lords, and 70 murderers. His name became a hero for those who sought justice but were ignored by this corrupted justice system in Japan.

And that serial killer was me, Rio Hagumo, also known as "The Joker". I killed many corrupted people by assassinating them, and every time I did this it made me feel like a psycho, and I found this to be my favorite hobby. I killed them with a big smile on my face. I'm going to wipe them out of the world.

-Present

-Bang!

"Don't run anymore," "The Joker," or we can say "Rio Hagumo."

I felt a gunshot hit my hips and made me feel weak in the backalley of Tokyo. Is this the end of me?

"Tsk, you bastard!"

My irritating reply to him

"Don't make me look bad; this is just an order by our new leader of our country."

He said.

Yeah, today is the day of the proclamation of our new leader in our country. This new leader is insanely strict and a leader who seeks peace. Too bad I'm his number one target and I need to be eliminated as early as possible.

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Joker, and thanks for eliminating some criminals. It makes our job easier. "

-Bang!

After that gunshot, everything becomes black, a place with no sound, a place that you can rest, or is this what we call hell?

While my body was roaming around in this blank place, a sudden light appeared in front of me.

A mysterious woman appeared and was looking at me with a pitiful eye, a look that I recognized from my past. And then she suddenly talks to me and gives me a choice.

"Rio Hagumo, did you want to live and make a new life again?"

She said while brushing my hair with her warm hand.

"My brother chooses you and shapes your fate; he wants to turn you into a world-class public enemy so he can enjoy watching you kill someone."

"On behalf of my brother, please forgive him and take my offer to make your life happier in a world where I'm the goddess. I'm Omoikane, the goddess of wisdom and intelligence. Please accept my offer. Rio"

The anger I felt in my childhood is starting to return, and that bastard god who changed my fate. But with this one, I feel comfortable with her.

"I, Rio Hagumo, accept your offer, my goddess."

My reply to her offer.

"I'm glad you accepted my offer."

"The next time you open your eyes, the new you will be born, and you're going to have a good life in your new world, and this world of fantasy will be your new start of being a new person."

"Farewell, Rio Hagumo."

After her last world, everything around me started to change. A new light suddenly appeared in front of me,and the voices of people surrounded me.

In my reincarnation, I'm going to make sure to protect my family with all my might and enjoy these new life chances.
