Chapter 1 : 終わりの始まり[パートI]

Owarinohajimari [part-I]

The start of the End. [Part-I]

Humans. Such weak creatures, aren't they? Such naiveness, such pity. If they were given fame for 3 people, still they would not be able to form an answer. Why? Why must I be born like this? Why must my mind work like this? ..... It's all your fault. All yours, Humans.

I was born like this. Like a pitiful and weak character. Was I given a choice? I was born so weak, so poor, so foolishly, but Why?

____________________________________________

I was taken in from a strange storm, a death storm, people were dying, waiting for an answer in the cold rain and questionable nature. I was left alone.

Alone, until I was noticed by a old man fleeing. I wasn't sad.

I wasn't able to feel sad.

The old man took me in.

His house, the most beautiful thing I have seen in my life of just 2 years.

Well-lit, warm and welcoming. If onIy every person was like this. If only.

His name was Theort Nashua, a poor noble, who was the most impressive person I have ever seen.

His fake smile looked so real.

He took me in, gave me food, cleaned me up, took care of me.

All for me, a useless and emotionless kid on the side of the road.

He was the most important person in my life.

He also had a wife.

She was kind and caring as well, this couple were like angels bringing justice on my poor self.

He was so nice to me till I turned 8. I learned how to speak, read and understand only at the age of 4. Prodigy as you would call it, but no, this was the only way I could repay him.

By giving him everything.

He deserved it.

At the age of 5, he spent thousands of silver* on my education. I was trained in 'The Elay of the Class'.

It wasn't a school. It was a assassin training program.

Still not able to understand perfectly, I followed through, this was my payment to my foster-parents.

But. But. Why?

I was 7 when I was told by him that I was not their child.

I knew it from the moment he took me in. Still even if, I still respect them.

I only took afternoon classes to avoid any problems, I was only 7, wasn't I?.

I would always skip some questions on the test, to always have the average score.

I didn't want to cause trouble for them.

I was enrolled as a short 11 year old, but only some knew that was a lie. Why do I have to be so stupid? Why?

One afternoon, a little girl came up to me. She said her name was Millia Sherie.

She was a kid, who was really popular and nice, but had a dark side.

She was a complete nympho.

I wish I hadn't met her then.

She would always talk to me in break and would treat me as a friend. I never cared. I never wanted to.

'Hey, Nice hoodie, this is the fourth time, right? Hahahaha!'

She said one evening.

I was a dark and unapproachable kid. She was so nice to me.

'Mhhm..'

I said.

That was the first time I had replied to her non-sense.

I wish I could go back in time and cut my tongue off.

At the age of 8, We had to graduate a private assassination school for trainees.

My heart was burning. Why was I so exited? This is not the first time that I will be fighting upper ups.

Why?

There was a calm-looking, handsome and slender man looking at me.

He definitely saw me clench my face and heart in excitement.

I was embarrassed, but could not show it.

I wish I could have.

It was a normal tournament. Those who are above rank 200, they fail. There are a whopping 360 students here. According to the rules, I would have to be rank 120 or more to pass but also be unnoticeable.

But, at that moment. At 14th of March, Year 383X, 9 o' clock, The Elay of the Class private academy, My whole life was torn apart.

Not because I was chosen to be the hero or something, but because that same cool looking man stood up from his chair.

[As the Vice-chairman of this academy, I would like to add some more rules. First, Everyone from the rank 199 to 361 are expelled immediately. Secondly, You will be finally given your nickname]

Those words. That man. I hate them. I suppressed my hatred and agreed.

Even the top students were shocked to hear those words.

[ Lastly, You will be given your soul weapon, before the match starts, so go to the start-up room on floor 4. Good luck.]

Why? Why does this man piss me so off?

I want to kill him.

I want to let him learn a thing about hatred.

'Oh? What is this about hatred and killing me'

That voice. Again?

The Vice-chairman comes out of the shadow the locker, where I'm all alone for being late. 'So? Why do you want to kill me?'

He questions again.

Why you ask?

[§ You pissed me off, that's why. §]

My dark and chilly voice comes out.

'I see, then I'll be waiting.' He says as he leaves.

I know. I'll torture you until you give up hope on humanity itself. All you have to do is wait.

Wait for me, [][][][][][][][][].

[ * : Currency of that world:

1 Brass coin: 5$ (Commoners)

10 Brass coins\= 1 silver\= 50$ (Middle class)

50 silvers is equal to 1 elven coin.

10 Silvers\= 1 gold\= 500$ (Nobles)

10 gold\= 1 Diamondiam\= 5000$

............(more in the next chapters..)

Chapter 1.5 : 終わりの始まり

Chapter 1.5 [The Start of the End 1.5]

First comes the written test. There are probably 3-4 types of tests. I mean this is a private school. I have already read every single book in our library, so next exam I go to.

Oratory skills is the next test. We are free to choose which one to go to first and last. I want to do it fast so I'm just gonna complete any test near me.

That man. His death is near.

Extracurricular test is next. Easy for me, who has no interest in wasting my time.

I would probably fail others if I was normal, but extracurriculars is special.

Aptitude, it is the colour of your blood and the blood of your power.

Being a reasercher, I already looked at my aptitude.

[Your aptitude, based on your blood --]

There are too many types of aptitudes out there. They are separated in 'Basic' and 'Custom'.

For basic, 'Red' or Fire aptitude is normal.

But Custom on the other hand has the 21 pillars of hope and some other exceptions.

The 21 pillars are the upgraded version of our humanly prowess. There are only 4 pillars standing until now, and the Vice-chairman guy is one.

There are so many rumours and folklores about the pillars, none know the truth.

Because, Their Leader, The Null pillar, was --

[Is The Custom layered 'Black magic' Coloured blood,.....huh?]

Me-- [Pitch Black?!]....

Chapter 2 : 終わりの始まり[パートII]

Owarinohajimari [part-II]

The start of the End. [Part-II]

No. 921, also known as me, am the reincarnation of the strongest but hidden talent god, The 21st Pillar, Null.

I am also known as 'The Eclipse of Death'. I will always bring death to the place I visit.

However, In this form, a frail and young body, I can't use even 1% of my powers. What should I do now?

_________________________________________

[PITCH BLACK!?]

Yes, I have pitch black blood. The colour of your blood is decided by your birth, but it can either go darker or get lighter by killing or saving people.

The lightest blood known to humanity is of the hero, 'Friscle' and the Priestess, 'Cyslees'. It was light yellow.

The lightest blood I know is transparent. It is of the Healing Pillar, Flair.

Now, The darkest blood known to mankind is light black.

It was of the Demon lord, 'Baran' , who was killed by the hero, or its told.

Mine is Pitch Black.

How? I've Slaughtered the country of origon, our neighbor.

They pissed me off.

They offended someone who can destroy even middle class countries like insects.

It's their fault, not mine.

[Pit...Ch.....Bla....ck?]

The nurse stuttered.

She was scared to death.

Her whole body was screaming RUN.

The crowds fell silent.

[H-hh-h...ow?]

She was so scared, even I would say 'Damn'

[MUR-MURDER-...MURDERER!!!]

Yeah, so what?

“ I'm not a murderer, I only devoured 3 countries yet." I replied.

My cold voice echoed through the auditorium.

[AH-AAHHHHHH-].

Why are they screaming? Are they dumb?

[RU-RUUUUUNNNN!!!]

The whole crowd panicked as all of them stumbled around like a murderer was there.

I rolled my eyes.

[What is happening?]

An old voice, which was kinda annoying.

[Principle sir, that- that boy-blood-]

He stuttered.

I see, He was Mr. Hunges, our principle, that was why he was so annoying.

[Speak.]

He ordered one passerby to answer.

[S-sir.....Pitch black blood..]

He awkwardly and scared said.

[HUH? I can't hear you!]

He was so sarcastic and trash that it was at the point of annoying.

[S-sir....That boy-boy hhas .....Pitch black blood...]

He said a bit louder. He was scared so much that he almost peed his pants.

[Hahaha! What a joke! Even I have light red blood!]

He. He laughed. He laughed at. Me?

That old hag, who looks like he is going to die by obesity? That trash?

Fuç7 no. He doesn't have the authority to do that. H3ll no.

My eyes looked enraged. My expression changed from null to anger.

The entire auditorium trembled.

Such Pressure.

“Oi".

I said.

Every single person was trembling with fear. Every single one of them were on the floor, scared.

“Principle Hunges".

I called out to him. He pissed me off.

He's already dead.

“Did you just laugh at....me?"

I threatenly ask him.

[ha-haha ss-o what?]

He nervously agrees.

Even I could see his fear.

He knew he was dead.

“I see....then you wouldn't mind if I killed your entire family, would you?"

I threaten again but with family.

I don't have any family but I know that it is important to humans.

[Yo-YOU LITT- LITTLE SH1TT!!!!!]

His rage takes over.

A last struggle. A struggle for life.

“Stupid humans.."

I whisper under my breath as I swing my hand to summon my soul weapon,

'The Dimensional Devourer'

It is the most powerful Scythe in existence.

Even 1% of its power can split a city by itself.

'Stupid move'

I say.
