It was a nice and quiet day in Japan.
Shinji was on his way to school. He was walking next to a construction site and suddenly a piece of rebar fell from it and hit his head.
He layed on the ground, knowing that he's going to die. He regretted his life, since he hadn't lived it the way he wanted to.
And suddenly he woke up in a whole new world.
(-Wow, where am I? Who are all these people?
Wait, I'm a baby? That means I've reborn.)
Said he in his head, as he enjoyed this new world.
The first five years of his life went by piecfuly.
He learned how to speak, how to walk, and he learned his name, which was Shengou Shihoin.
His mother and father were peasants in the city of Hisendan. But even though they were peasants, they were still good and kind people.
Shengou grew and discovered new skills every day.
For example, at eight years old he found an old sword, with which he began to train.
As he was trying though, he accidentally cut his right arm with his sword. Thankfully, he was alright, but that cut left a scar on his arm.
At twelve years old, he had already learner a lot and got good, but yet he wasn't good enough to defeat the great king of demons-Shou, whom he had learned about from a book, which he found in the basement, where he sat constantly to train and read.
When he was thirteen years old, he found an old chest.
It was locked in the most furthest corner of the room. Shengou managed to break the lock and found an old book of magic spells.
He went to his parents and asked them:
-Mom, Dad, what are these objects? I never knew spells existed. I thought we were just ordinary people.
His parents looked at each other said to him:
-Honey, I think it's time to admit the truth.
Said Shengou's mother.
-I think you're right.
Look son, a long time ago me and your mother were on an adventure to kill the Demon King Shou with eight of our friends.Unfortunetly, it all failed when we got to his castle.
When we entered, we knew we were going to die, but we took the risk and this was our biggest mistake.
We started to battle, but little by little our group decreased. At the end, only me and your mother survived, but when we tried to run he caught me and tore of my arm.
With that we swore never to fight again.
And now I have to ask you, are you sure you want to take this path?
Said the father.
-Yes, Dad, I'm sure.
Answered the boy.
And with that, Shengou continued his training as a swordsman and magican.
Until the age of twenty, he trained day after day, and at some point he decided to take a break.
He decided to go out and walk in the nearby forest, but he slipped and fell on his head. When he woke up, in front of him stood a strange creature, half god and half devil.
It was Shigechi, the ruler of the universe. He said to Shengou:
-Listen boy, I will give you strength, but you will have to promise me to beat Shou, my son.
Will you take the risk?
Shengou looked at him surprised and answered:
-Yes sir, I accept the risk and the power, that you want to grant me with.
He woke up and didn't feel anything strange. Everything seemed as though that conversation didn't happen.
He returned to his house and layed down to sleep.
The next morning he decided that he was ready to go on that dangerous adventure, from which he might not return.
Shengou accepted Shegechi's offer and went to the adventure. And so Shengou set out on this dangerous adventure. He navigated where to go, using the map his parents had made on their adventure to Shou. After two hours of walking, Shengou got tired and sat down to rest. He took out the sandwiches his mother had prepared for him. He ate and continued on his way. After a while he heard some shouting nearby. Without thinking he grabbed his sword and followed the shouts so he could help the human. He managed to find it and decided to use one of the spells he had learned.
(Attacking gravity magic. Gravity weighting)
Shengou said in his head as with that he said the incantation to activate the spell.
The boy stood up and said to him:
-Thank you for saving me. I am Senji Sugetsu. I'm good at nunjagou, can I join you as your assistant.
Senji said to Shengou.
Senji had a normal man look, but he looked like he was hiding some incredible power that could be of use to Shengou.
-You can, but on one condition. You have to be willing to give up your life because we're going to the Demon King Shou.
He told him.
-Okay sir.
Senji replied.
-Look out.
Shengou said as he pushed Senji to the ground. He was one of Shou's messengers to kill Shengou.
-Which of you mere mortals is Shengou I've come to kill him.
Said the demon. He seemed to be one of the highest ranked demons.
-I am, but how do you know my name.
Shengou replied in surprise.
-You think my great lord won't learn about the child who took the power of the cursed eyes.
The demon answered him.
-Wait a minute what eyes are you talking about. I was only told to kill Shou the son of Shigechi.
Said Shengou even more astonished.
-The power Shigechi gave you is the only power that can kill my master, but I can see that you're stupid and don't know what this is about.
The demon answered him.
-I tell you honestly I don't know what you're talking about. He told me he would give me power, but I did not know what that was apparently.
Shengou replied.
-Ugh, you're starting to piss me off.
With that, the demon swung its sharp claws towards Shengou. Hurting him very badly. Senji tries to help with a spell.
(Attacking fire magic. Fire ball)
However the demon has neither a scratch. Shengou despaired of dying early in the adventure this early. Then his eyes turned pink and a magic circle appeared in front of them. Those were the cursed eyes the demon spoke of. Shengou is using them for the first time and doesn't know how to use them.
(Say something deadly that he would die from).
A voice whispered in his head. Shengou listened to him and told his heart to burst. So the demon's heart burst and he died on the spot. Shengou was able to use and understand what power he had received. And now having slain the demon, he and Senji moved on, because they had a long way to go.
They continued on their way wondering what this incredible power was, that Shengou was using.
-Sir can you use this power again, I want to see it and study it better.
Senji asked.
-First call me Shengou and second I don't think I'll be able to get her to show up again. It made me quite tired.
Shengou replied.
-Okay Shengou sorry that I asked.
Senji said.
-No problem. Let's keep going, the more we don't move the easier they will find us.
Shengou replied.
So the two of them went on because they knew they were in danger. They walked and came to an abandoned house and decided to stay the night. They settled in and went to bed. But Senji wake up by a strange noise. He went out to check and realized there were more of Shou's demons. He immediately woke up Shengou and told him to be quiet because there were more demons who wanted to kill them.
-What to do if they are as strong as the previous one, only your eyes will be able to defeat them.
Senji asked.
-I don't know, but you're right we have to find a way to escape before they heare us.
Shengou replied.
But as they talked, Shengou felt a strange presence.
-Senji run quickly.
Shengou warned Senji.
And so they managed to get out just in time through a small back window. The thing that crashed the house was some mix between a snail and an octopus and it was huge. That thing seemed to heave no interest in them. However, the demons saw him as they saw Shengou and Senji and decided to use him to kill them.
-Shengou if they use him we have no chance to win.
Senji said.
-I know, but we have to try to beat them.
Shengou replied.
The demons managed to take control of the terrifying monster and attack Shengou and Senji. They could not avoid it and were cornered. But just as Shengou was ready to use his eyes, and Senji the strongest magic he knew of, some unfamiliar voice was heard.
(Equip String magic.)
And in the blink of an eye the monster and the demons were cut in two. Shengou and Senji were amazed.
-Wow that was very cool, who are you.
Senji asked.
-I am Sebastian Hantengu, the master of swords.
Sebastian replied.
He was wearing a black robe that reached his knees and black trousers, it seems like he has a scar one his face and a mask to cover his mouth but its hard to see because of the robe.
-Nice to meet you Sebastian. Want to join our group we're headed to kill Shaw.
Shengou asked him.
-Hmm, wimps like you can't beat those demons let alone Shaw.
Sebastian answered them. And then Shengou had no option, but to show him his power. When Sebastian saw this eyes, he immediately agreed to join.
-How you got those eyes, I've only heard legends, I thought I'd never see them. I'll take it there there is some potential in both of you. But you'll let me train you for a few months, because we are not going to get anywhere near to complete the adventure, understood.
Sebastian asked.
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Shengou and Senji responded.
And so the group has continued to grow little by little.
