Hero

"Ahhhhh!!! I'm tired!!!" he sighed while walking to the side of the street.

MC:(Talking to the imaginary camera. Lol)

"Hey I'm Kaiden. 18 years of age and currently wanting to stop to school. I want to be successful in life, but I think destiny won't let it happen. That's why I will become strong and make my way to being poor to becoming richest and successful in life. I'm Kaiden, the strongest of al—" he stops as he saw three strangers beating one student in an alley.

He frozed in shocked and fear, watching them beat one student mercilessly. As he watch them, one of the stranger look at him and he was stunned. He notice the murderous intent on the stranger's eyes and he was screaming inside.

"~Uhmmm... Hi~?" he nervously stated while slowly walking away.

One of the stranger run after him, so he run as fast as he can.

"~Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. I'm fucked up. I can't breathe properly. Not only that, I can't shout either. Shit!~" he said to himself while in panicked and in tears.

Kaiden run as fast as he can. His sweating a lot and his chest tightened. He run over pots and trash bins on the street. Then he hid on an alley. Afraid and exhausted, he grab his chest and tries to stabilize his breathing. His sweats falling to the ground, he checked the surrounding and notice that he lost the stranger.

"Fuck, I'm just joking. Oh God, don't that again. I'm not the strongest, I know it better than anyone. What else can I do? Be their next target? Shit I'm hopeless" he said to himself.

He continued to walk.

(Few Minutes passed by)

Kaiden arrived at the grocery store and get some house necessities, foods and dog food for... of course, for his dog. He head to the counter, he was shocked for the price but still he pays for it.

"Damn, this world is surely fucked up." he looked at the receipt with disappointment.

So, he walks out of the store with a gloomy face and head home.

(Few Minutes passed by)(Again?)lol

Kaiden arrived at the front of the house. When he was about to open the door, he heard a loud bang inside their house. He rush inside and head to the loud noise and he saw his dog barking at his parents bedroom. Fast as wind, he head to his parent's bedroom. What he witnessed there angers him. He saw his father beating his mother again. Seeing this he tried to stop his father from harming his mother and grab his arm.

"You fucking bastard, let go of mom!" he shouted to his father.

But his father continue to beat his mother.

"You fucking retard, let go!" he shouted again.

His father got mad, and he was pushed down. The father walks towards him and lashed at out his anger to Kaiden.

"You stupid brat, you need to be disciplined" Mr. Kennedy (his father) stated.

While the assault continues, his mother tried to stop him, but she failed and pushed back. While Kaiden was getting beaten by his father, all he can do was talk to God.

"Damn, I thought that you are always at my side. God, where are you? Why are you not helping me out? It hurts. It hurts. I can't handle this anymore. I'm so weak. Not only that, but I'm so useless as well. Do I deserve this treatment? What did I do wrong? I always follow my fathers orders just to cool him down. But still, he beat us every day. I don't believe in heroes, but I think I need one right now. Somebody...plea...se...save...u...s. ". Then he lost unconsciousness.

(One night have passed)

Kaiden wakes up and realized he was in his room. When he looked to his side, he saw his mother sitting beside his bed while holding his hand. The feeling of comfort and relief is what he felt that time, so he smiled. A gazed to his mother's faced, so he won't forget it, even for a thousand of years. Something caught his attention, her face is bruised and swollen. What happened yesterday struck his mind. So, he got emotional, and his heart starts to fill with anger and vengeance. Kaiden holds his mother's hand and swore that he will make sure that his father will pay for what he had done. However, realizing that he was powerless against his father and he is coward against the stranger makes him think of his capabilities.

"I swear, I will make sure to make him pay. For you, and for our safety. But... how? I'm so weak. All I can do is cry and take his punches. What possibly else can I d—" he was stopped by a loud cry of his dog.

Kaiden got up and leave his room. When he get out to his room, the dog's cry disappeared. He searched through the kitchen, bathroom, his parent's room, living room, dinning room, and their front yard, but he can't find his dog and also his father. Something's wrong with this. He rushed back inside and continue searching.

"Nigel!, Nigel! Come here Nigel!" (Nigel is the name of the dog...obviously)he yells for his dog.

"~Backyard~" he nervously thought.

As Kaiden reached their backyard, he saw bloods everywhere. It broke his heart. But still, he can't find Nigel. Kaiden keep telling himself that it's not his dog's blood, and it's from someone else. Just to cope with gruesome truth.

"~It's not from Nigel, calm down. It's not from Nigel right? Yea-yea, it might from someone... like robbers right? Right?~" he kept looking, and eventually he found his dog.

"~Nigel?~"
