Chapter. 1

It was another day in the village named Kinomura, where there were  happy children and adults. Where it seems that nothing bad could happen but only good things could.

But in the darkest depths of the village, there was a lonely child who was the scapegoat of most of the villagers, and this day was no different. The little boy was holding something while running through the street with an angry mob that had homemade weapons, while yelling at the boy, like we will fucking kill you, you demon!! And much more to the boy. The boy couldn’t understand why this was happening, why would they glare, scorn, beat, and torture him?. He ran into an alleyway to try and escape but found a dead end.

He looked back but saw that the exit was blocked by the villagers who were after him. This was bad, being cornered by the mobs means that he would either be tortured or receive a beating of a lifetime.

The boy looked on with fear as they were closing the distance, his heart was beating fast while he made himself small. They were now in front of him, and some began to beat and others stabbed or tried to burn the little boy with tortes. The boy screamed for help, but nothing happened, like always everyone ignored his cries for help. Suddenly out of nowhere, a stranger appeared behind them…

The mob didn't seem to notice the stranger, as they kept on torturing the poor boy. The stranger cleared his throat to get their attention but it didn’t work, so he coughed out loud, but nothing happened. So he took the two swords of his back and clanked them together, that made them clink, and it seemed to get their attention for the mob. All looked over at the stranger, but he just stood there not saying a word, and it weirded the mob out. They just stood there, and no one said a word until one from the mob couldn't take it anymore and yelled “Who the hell are you and what the hell do you want!”

When the villager yelled the boy opened his eyes and looked around to see what was happening, that's when he saw the stranger. It was a man that had long white hair that was tight in a low ponytail, and he had a montsuki on and also had two swords. The man didn't answerer and instead asked with a stern voice while folding his arms over his chest "why the fuck are you all torturing a child?”

The mob looked at him before they started laughing like the man told a funny joke, and one answered

“ Isn't it obvious? The child is clearly brainwashed by that monster for why else would he protect it?”

After the villager answered, another one  took the boy and threw him on the ground in front of the man. The man looked down at the boy.
