"It's been 860 years since the battle, it's only a matter of time before 'the doomsday' prophecy will come. I must go and train a bit more and explore. Because i'm the one of the few survived after that fight." The mysterious man stated as he was staring at the tombstones of his fallen comrades. "As the Joker of the wasteland, i must fullfill my duty, as an Ace, as an Immortal God." With that, he prayed his respects to his former comrades and flashes away.

Jin Takizawa, also known as 'The Joker of Aces/The wastelands' is walking on the road that leads to The Kingdom of The Vast Fields, also known as Grass Country. Grass county is known for it's vast fields and forest. He hummed a song as he walked thru the road. Enjoying the atmosphere of his surroundings, Jin decided to eat his lunch on a nearby Oak tree across the road. As he was approaching the tree, he hears a woman crying for help. "Help me please! Someone please help! AHHHHHHH!" the unidentified woman screams a blood crudling scream and immediately, Jin bolted towards the voice's location. As soon as he was there, he was furious to what he saw. A group of bandits ganging up a girl who was protecting a carriage, most of her dress are tattered and below her is an unconscious, beaten up boy. "If you don't want you and your companions to get hurt, you must let us go inside the carriage and offer yourself to us. Be honored, because we are proud rebels that's haunting your country for this past 3 years BUWAHAHAHAH!" Said the bandit that looks like the leader. "No! i will not let some scoundrels touch our carriage let alone offer myself to the likes of you!" said the girl while trying to fight back with a stick. "You never learn how to give up do you? There are 7 of us, and for the fact no one comes here often. No one will save you. HAHAHAHAHA!" Said the Bandit leader while easily evading the poor attacks that the girl unleashed. Jin can't stand it anymore.
(ZIPPPPPPP!)
(THUNDER AND LIGHTNING SOUNDS INTENSIFIES)
A mysterious lightning appeared between the bandit leader and the girl, breaking them apart.
"What the hell is that?!" Said the nameless bandit member
"Was that a random lightning struck?" said by another bandit member.
"It must be a spell! Quick find the bastard who cast it and kill them!" shouted the Bandit leader. "I'm the one who cast it. And it wasn't a caster magic , rather it's a teleportation magic." Jin stated as he look up at the gobsmacked bandit leader. The leader almost piss himself but recovered fast as he saw the appearance of the new comer. 'A fine young boy, his teleportation magic is good i give him that. But he's only a boy. He doesn't stand a chance let alone beat one of us HAHAHAH.' With his arrogance returns fueling his courage, he laughs wholeheartedly while pointing a finger at Jin. "HAHAHAHAHAHAH! NICE TELEPORTATION MAGIC YOU GOT! YOU LOOK COOL I SWEAR! Now step aside kid before your mommy wonders where her little baby went. HAHAHAH." The other bandits joins their leader and laugh at Jin as well. Jin had a murderous glare and a tick mark on his forehead. "What? you crying now? Don't worry, you won't get hurt if you won't get in our way, and don't tell the officials about this. As if the 'Magic knights' will come here in a poverted land like this HAHAHAHAH." said the bandit leaders and together, the bandits laugh at this. Jin is almost about to blow and the bandit leader hits the nail with his final insult. "Thanks to the 'immortal gods' demons are gone to this world. Magic is everything on this world and yet some are just unfortunate to have weak or none at all. Well i can't blame them cause they're being weak. Thanks to the 'immortal gods' peace is restored, but to us humans, peace was never an option. Today's era, its either your a royal, an official, a commoner, or an outcast. Commoner is fated as 'stepping stones' and the outcasts are only slaves and test subjects that didn't deserve to live. HAHAHAHAHA. The world is truly unfair yet time fair. The world is a sin itself." Stated the bandit leader. With this statement, Jin finally spoked, "It's indeed true that the world is unfair and also fair. But it doesn't mean we will follow the fate that binds in our soul, life itself is a book, and you can write your own story in your own accord. Life is something that can't be taken lightly, let alone belittling it. Life is something that only be given by mortals ones in a lifetime." Jin pulled his mask and put it in his face. "Indeed, the world is unfair, but it doesn't mean the world can stay that way." The bandits stop laughing and recognize the philosophy that has been said by the now masked boy infront of them. The bandit leader immediately recognized the mask as his blood ran cold. "Y-You! A masked boy with a tear marks on both of his eyes, The Aces of cards on your forehead and a sword in the chin! You are!" The bandit couldn't finished his sentence as Jin drew his sword and pointed towards them. "Eternal Slash style: Body of the wastelands." and a milisecond you can hear blood being spilled and light thuds can be heared simultaneously. Infront of the bandit leader is a mask that hasn't been seen for a LONG time. An immortal god who is part of the elite group and only the best of the best immortal gods can be selected. An immortal god who single handedly wiped out 10,000 demons whilst going berserk in the dark realm. The Joker of the Aces, the hero of the wastelands. The right hand of the King of Aces. Jin, the plunderous joker. The bandit leader couldn't believe his eyes as he started to run back, but as soon as he turned back he found his dead comrades, all decapitated. Heads separating their body and blood colored the pure green grass into crimson red. The bandit leader immediately face Jin and down on his knees bowing, "I'm so sorry Joker of Aces! I promise i won't do it again! In fact we bandits won't bother any village and kingdom you grace! Please spare me." Said the Bandit leader as he cries. "What's your name." Jin asked. "Grego my lord!" responded the bandit leader known as Grego. "You said world is unfair and at the same fair right?" Grego nods. "That's true." Jin stated CALMLY. "Thank you my l-." he was cut off when Jin started to speak again. "And you said peace was never an option right?" "No please wait!" "And you said the outcasts has no right to live right?" "Please my lord do-." Grego wasn't able to defend himself when Jin slashed his head off neatly. His head rolled over to the side as his body meets the ground. The lady and the unconscious boy who recently woken up, witness a bloody massacre in their lifetime. They proceed to quietly leave the scene when, "Don't worry, i won't hurt you guys. In fact the bandits won't attack you anymore. I'm sorry for the disturbance i've cause. I hope you would forgive me." A still masked Jin turned around and bowed infornt of them. They were absolutely in shock. Not only they meet a Legendary immortal god let alone an Ace, he was KNEELING at them, KNEELING at a mere mortal. "N-No! you haven't done anything else than help us, thank you so much Joker of Aces! I forgot my manners my name is Elizabeth and this is my little brother Ely." Introduced Elizabeth. "Oh, we have a companion who is still asleep for quite some time. There is a note beside her when we found her." This picked Jin's interest. "What's on the note." "It says 'help, my soul is locked! Help me Ji-kun!' " "Ji-kun? I heard it somewh-!" he didn't manage to finish his sentence as he bolted to the carriage. "Wait Jin-sama! She's still asleep!" Elizabeth shouted but followed otherwise. As Jin was on a carriage, he removed his mask and uncovers the person who was covered with blankets. As he saw the person's face, he burst into tears and hugged the person tight. "I FOUND YOU AT LAST! LILY."
