In this world, knowledge is very poor. The world has yet to be explored, many things are still unknown such as dangerous monsters, plants and elements. Mythical beasts and monsters roam the lands, terrorising humanity.That is why the Goddess of Creation has given us Humans skills to defeat those threats. At 10, you are given a skill. This consists of a main skill which reflects on your personality, ideals and future, a secondary skill for good measure and an extra skill that you can get through ways such as training, cultivation, martial arts, sword training, grinding monsters ect. Like that, you can become a powerful person strong enough to protect your loved ones from these monsters, slaying away to a happy end as an adventurer.
Or that is the cheery, colourful story you're expected to believe.
Chishiki, a young boy of ten, was not like others. He was given a skill at the age of seven, and none other than an abnormal .
"ma-tuh...manipulation...you..I can't..sorry kid, you are an anomaly."
In this world ignorant of knowledge, to manipulate an element or matter no one knows is being an anomaly. Humans fear things they do not know, leading to conflict and hostility. These people are much more terrifying and cruel than monsters. They discriminate blindly as they struck down innocents for the mere reason one is an anomaly.' They are pitiful creatures who will do anything to save their own skins, even to the point they will sacrifice another without blinking an eye, whether it is a parent, family member or acquaintance, these individuals wouldn't care less anyways. They'll always wish for another's suffering just for the joy of it. They'll use another human being's life for their own purposes. They'll kill and sacrifice, piling corpses along the way to 'success'. They always crave for things others have, their greed evolving with mankind's growth, they are indeed nothing short than beings of lust, anger, jealousy, greed and violence.
This corrupt race has been roaming around this world like true monsters, ruling and killing,
their sins accumulating to forming into what we now call "Magic Beasts" or "Monsters",nothing more than the result of their misdeeds, their own creations. No matter how many of these evil beings are purged away from existence, they will continue to form, bring disaster and eventually causing their own downfall as they slash away their own children and whole race.
I still remember this hellish moment to this day. I ran and ran, faster and faster. But I remembered clearly. These sounds, ringing in my ears, tingling. Cries of pain, laughter, flesh burning, water springing, rocks flying, lightning striking, blood spilling. These cremated bodies writhing in pain, those that were mutilated, disfigured ,torn apart, slit throats, those cut up heads dropped into the cold ground, weapons hacking and slashing, those lives slowly losing existence as pools of blood shed onto my face, the blood of my closest friends and family, struck down like mere bugs.'
A memory formed .A blazing fire, dead bodies and blood everywhere. A child with spiky, ruffed up black hair, red eyes and torn up clothes. He was crawled up in a ball, biting his thumb uncontrollably, his body shaking terribly.
"H-help..."A burning body barely managed to take out, reaching it's hand to the kid's."Pl-ease..."
The kid's eyes widened in terror as his eyesight blurred, and the memory ended in that very moment.
And I hated it.'
A seemingly young man with dead eyes, white short hair that covered his eyes and a black hoodie covering the upper half of his face to his waist with black all over,his right hand in his pocket sat on the grass that followed with vast plains of green.Under the black hoodie, he had bags under his menacing eyes covered with white hair and a black steel wand on his right hand and a long katana stuck on his back with red Kanji writing over the black scabbard and the rest of the katana. He had a small leather bag on his back containing lots of unfamiliar looking plants and herbs.
A blue status screens followed him.
It's contents stated
[Main Skill]
Matter Manipulation]
He stared ahead, a city visible in the distance despite being very far away due to it's humongous size, as he stood up from the plains of greenery.
'This is...the capital city' He thought, looking from a distance.
'The city consists of mainly mages and knights from various guilds, who fight monster quests for rewards. They can easily get rich and famous by hunting a lot of monsters, so many people who dream big and and are in desperate need of money or are just that greedy just come here in hopes of getting a job and a successful future blindly, thus leading to 80% of newbie adventurer's deaths. This is why they order quests depending on rank of difficulty to make it clear if the quest is suitable, from f which is still quite complicated for newbie warriors and magicians, although most think it's not dangerous which leads to most of their deaths, to SSS which would be a threat to the entire capital, but has only happened ounce in 10,000 long years of reign. And, most of all...'
His eyes narrowed as he looked up and lied down again'
These very people I will have my revenge on are living peacefully regardless of their sins.'
Now, the question is
Should I use my chances and wait and fight monsters in order to hopes of becoming popular so those Guild Masters notice me? Or should I appear before them straight away and kill them already?'
His face formed into a frown.
You can't be content with a simple death. Crush both their phisycal and mental state, slowly breaking them down until they seek only a merciful death, which is when I inflict more terror and dread into their very soul. They'll feel that very pain I was inflicted. I will only be satisfied then, my vow of revenge will be stuck deeply in my soul till all of them have been eradicated." He frowned, determined to send his victims to the deep depths of hell as the back of his hoodie sprang up.
"Your last moments will be a living hell...
"I hope you make use of your short time of peace left before I give back all the pain I suffered by over a hundred-fold!" He declared, a blazing fury burning in his eyes, putting his hands in the pockets of his hoodie as he marched towards to the city gates, slowly wiping of his frown.
"Huh? Who's that guy dressed in black? And what is he carrying on his back?" A fat old man in silver armor and spear he was carrying in his hand asked, placing his other hand on his forehead to try get a better view of the figure in black.
"You mean that white haired guy? I bet he has some money!" Another scrawny, ugly old guy in the same armor with the same spear snickered. He wobbled when he spoke, drunk.
"Yo, guys, come around, there's a guy with some money!"He called out, bringing some other guards. They had a malicious smile on their face as they marched towards the man.
"You! You're under suspicion of being a terrorist, you're under arrest!" An other man called out with a vile smirk as he pointed at the man.
The group surrounded the man in black,their laughs echoing in his ears.
His hair covered his eyes, shadowed.
"Check his bags!"One screamed with a malicious scowl.
"Kehahahahaha!"
"Take all the loot!"Another screamed with a venomous sneer.
"Strip him off his clothes! They'll sell for a great price!"Another guard said with a smile.
Soon the grouped swarmed him and tried to hit him, jumping at him,but he effortlessly dodged, sidestepping quickly and efficiently with smooth and fast movements as they toppled onto the ground, his eyes glowing red as he moved.
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the one old guard that called out the other guards, one hand in the pocket of his hoodie and another holding the bag he had on his back with his right leg up.
"Ryota Takeo, Age 35, Full Time Leader Of The Guards of The Capital City Gates.
Ounce had a family but sold off his daughter to a rich noble that established a human slave trafficking of young girls for high prices, one day later was found dead left by her owner who wipped her mercilessly, while he raped his wife when she demanded a divorce for his vile acts and had help from his colleagues to hide the body. 2 weeks ago, a young woman-" He calmly stated with no hesitation in his eyes.
"What is he going on about?!"Stop!" "What the f%*# is he saying?!"They cried, but he kept going, unscathed by their cried, keeping uninterrupted.
-entered the city walls to visit her fiance in the Red Lion Guild with her finest clothes and jewellery, but was mercilessly assaulted and group raped by you guards. She was stripped of her money and clothes which you unfairly distributed with 1% for each 49 other guards, while you kept 59% of the incomes. An unworthy piece of trash like no other who would you use another individual's live for their own benefits doesn't get to live a life like this." He said.
The other guards went in uproar that he kept most of the money himself and started rebelling against their leader, running towards Ryota Takeo, spears in hands, ready for attack.
"N-no, he's just spouting nonsense! Don't believe that piece of sh*t!!!" He screamed, desperately trying to calm the crowd.
"You should all wait for your turn...
you'll all get what you deserve."The man said, suddenly freezing every guard around him.
The man opened wide Takeo's mouth and threw a herb in his mouth.
"Open wide."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHH" A last scream of pain was heard in the distance, following from him to another and another as they all fell and died by the strange herbs.
"Wha-what is that?!"One screamed.
The man walked towards him, the others frozen in terror.
*Step.*
"The data of a plant monster that was fated to live with this decomposing body constantly.All it could do was infect others with the poison that ate it up inside, until it would either die a cruel death by either being sold it's poison off by humans in the black market or burn up and explode slowly as it disintegrated, unwilling giving birth to more cursed children that will eat each other to survive in this cruel world. Mankind gave it existence and denied it, which is the harsh life of monsters. So why don't.."
He suddenly disappeared and instantly appeared behind the fat guard
"you try living this way?"He stuffed the plant into the guard's face as it slowly decomposed.
He then glanced at the survivors with intense bloodlust.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RRRRRRRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!"
He walked off and opened the large gates with his mere hand, leaving all the guard's corpses behind on the ground mercilessly. All that was left was writhing pieces of flesh that were all combined with plants like huge beansprouts, their body parts decomposing and coming back in a cruel cycle of endless pain, a horrifying scene to witness.
"It's time...
For my revenge."
