Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Day The World Went Black

A classroom filled with students and a flickering light seemed normal. Multiple kids were socializing but at the back, there was a kid that was silent and seemed to have an ominous aura around him. A new transfer student looked at the back of the class and asked someone about this seemingly weird kid.

"Hey what's up with him? Why is he just sitting at the back of the class alone?"

"Most people call him the devil's child because a lot of weird shit happens whenever he's around. Like the light above us flickering." A boy replies.

"Oh if that's the case then I guess I should avoid him then." The transfer student replied

"I mean it's up to you man but I'll talk to you later schools over in like 2 minutes." The boy began to walk out of the classroom

"Alright talk to you later man." The transfer student put on his book bag and left the classroom.

This Child at the back of the class Ren Kenketsu seems to have been messed up kid since the day he was born. It may be because his father Ashura and his mother Koto experimented on him as a child to make what they called the perfect human which backfired on them. It could because be the devil himself made him this way who knows. All that is known is that wherever Ren goes strange and ominous things occur because of his arrival and whenever he's in danger his attackers always disappear and are never seen again. Though Ren never remembers any of these events.

Ren was currently sleeping at the back of the class dreaming about a T.V show he was watching the night before everything went black. A dark Shadowy figure was now in front of Ren inside his dream. Ren looked up at the figure very confused and scared.

"Wha-Who the hell are you?" Ren asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Who I am isn't important as I cannot remember it or much of my past. But what you need to know is that after today your life shall never be the same. And that you must face the challenges that lie ahead of you. If you cannot rise and overcome them not only will your life end but mine will as well." The shadow figure responded in a voice that emanated power and resolve.

"What are you talking about, why won't my life be the same, and what are you?"Ren asked these questions scared and concerned by this figure in his dream that was not revealed.

"Remember this, there are always eyes that are watching." The figure disappeared and Ren woke up realizing that he had been asleep well over 5 hours since school had already ended and the sun was setting.

"Oh crap, I've been asleep way too long." Ren picked up his book bag and ran out of the school before walking to his home. He was thinking about his dream and what it could mean before he was pinned to a nearby wall by a man who had a knife.

"Give me all your money and your valuables kid. I don't want to have to kill you." The man was being serious and would kill Ren if he didn't get what he wanted."

"B-but I don't have anything you would want. It's all at home." The robber looked at Ren before thinking he wasn't telling the truth and putting the knife to his neck. The robber than looked behind Ren and saw what seemed like his shadow was changing in some way.

At that moment, Ren thought he was going to die, but suddenly there was darkness. Everything went black, the light had disappeared completely and when Ren opened his eyes he noticed the knife wasn't against his neck and he wasn't hurt. But from behind he heard a familiar voice, the one he had heard in his dreams before. He asked it what was going on

"Considering the events that transpired just now you will be hunted down by others and your life will never be the same. Just like I tried to say in your dream." The shadow responded.

Ren still confused about what was happening decided to ask a much simpler question. "Hey what's your name?" Not knowing its name it just responded with Idk

Ren pondered for a moment before smiling a bit. "Well if you can't remember your name I guess I'll call you Sen. Now let's go, if we're gonna find out what's going on and get your memories back then we're gonna be in this together." He began walking towards his parent's house not knowing what horrors he might face.
