Chapter 1 - The end of an ordinary life.

Yasuke Musashi a young man of 18 years old that lived in a small town in the united states. His origin widely debated but Yasuke himself always believed himself to be a descendant of one of the most known Samurai to have ever lived Miyamoto Musashi. Yasuke lived an ordinary life he was born in the 2000's something he genuinely hated he loved everything about samurai and where they stood for.

The generation he was born into was a generation of children not even playing outside not taking care of their bodies, but instead, they would watch their phones like some sort of robot. Yasuke was never like this he started training in all types of martial arts from a young age in his teens he discovered meditation and did this rather than sitting on his phone all day.

Don't get him wrong he still owned a phone, but if he wanted to, he could let it all go and live a happy life.

He sought knowledge daily he read a lot of books he was doing good in school overall he lived a good life. But he missed something the ages the Samurai lived and fought, to be honest, were dark. Yasuke for himself even saw it like that but yet he wanted to experience it he wanted to live it. But in this modern age, the only thing he could do was live by the principles also known as the Bushido Code.

This day was just another typical day in the life of Yasuke he woke up did his morning yoga stretches and meditated for ten minutes before he took off for a light run. He came back took a cold shower and packed up his stuff for school and his equipment that he needed for training after school. On his way to school, he was feeling grateful that he got to live another day the skies were blue the weather was just the right temperature to not feel too hot and not too cold. Everything was perfect the streets were lively, and you could see the different emotions and types of people you could see some people laughing while others were looking tired or stressed out.

While Yasuke was walking by an alleyway, he heard something.

"Please I beg of you let me go I don't want this."

"Shut up bitch I swear I will beat you if you don't take me back right this moment."

Yasuke was no fool and knew what was happening. Usually, he wouldn't even bother since it wasn't his fight to pick but when he heard the guy say he will beat her, he got angry and decided to walk towards the person that told those ugly words.

What he saw when he arrived at the end of the alleyway was a young girl probably about his age being held by a bulky man. She was crying while muttering those same words over and over. The ally way was dark and looked creepy also it was cold in there something told Yasuke that this was the place he could die. And while looking at the crazy look on the man's face, he knew it could be true. But yet something in him didn't stop or turn around he just faced this challenge head-on.

"Please let the girl go it's clear she doesn't want anything to do with you" (Yasuke)

"Shut up little boy go away before I beat your ass, and you go crying to your mommy" Sneered the buff dude.

This triggered something in Yasuke because he was an orphan since his grandfather and master of the ways of the samurai died when he was 10 years old.

He never even knew his mother.

All the signals in his body were telling him to get away from this crazy man, or it could mean his end but yet something in his body was telling him to stay that something would come out of this.

Yasuke didn't even talk back to this man went up to him and pulled him away. Even if Yasuke looked like he didn't have any strength, it was because all his muscles were trained to be practical not like the man before him that trained for his looks.

Everything Yasuke had done in his life was for a purpose he trained very hard daily everything he did was to achieve what he would like to call perfection but deep down he knew he could never reach it. Because it was impossible to be perfect one day, he would die and be forgotten, and that is what he feared most.

The man was shocked to see someone of that size have that much strength to be able to pull him away, and before he could react, he heard the young boy say.

"Lady, please run away now I don't know what will happen if you stay any longer."

And just like that, the girl, the man, had loved was running away from him without even a single word. It felt like an eternity for Yasuke before he finally was sure the girl was gone, and that was when it happened the man went crazy. He started muttering words like "ill kill you" "this boy will die today." At that moment Yasuke looked him dead in the eyes without any fear. The man began swinging his big heavy arms many people would argue that Yasuke could easily defeat him. But what they don't realize is that even if he trained all his lifelong someone with the size of that man would hit hard, they were in entirely different weight classes.

When the first punch landed, Yasuke began fighting back he got into a fighting stance and fought he threw kicks and punches and to be honest he was winning this fight. After a while, the man got knocked down, but his crazed look could still be seen on his face, and that look was the last look Yasuke would see before dying. Even if he won the one on one battle how could he expect this man this nasty creature to have any honor. When Yasuke decided it was enough he felt something in his stomach he looked down and saw blood he turned towards the man he had just beaten and saw him there with a gun while slowly muttering. " I got him now that bitch if only I knew where she lived."

And just like this Yasuke's life had come to an end he had never feared death, but he was lying if he didn't feel sad while laying on his back in this dark alleyway looking up just to see darkness. He died in a place where no one would find him maybe in a couple of days he died with honor in battle something that someone that lived by way of the samurai would love. But yet he felt regret he faced his death head on and didn't die shamefully but what has he achieved in this life he didn't have any meaningful connections with people he hadn't achieved anything and didn't leave a mark on this world's history. But yet he died with a small smile on his face while inwardly thought.

"if I will be reborn I promise to make my life exciting and even more meaningful."

And like this, the young man died no one even knew his name in this world, but that wouldn't be the case in his new world.
