Chapter 2 - Dream...

The evening sun set was beautiful as ever, captivating all those that witness it, but one poor soul wouldn't have time or the luxury to look at it.

'A bowl of ramen.. Topped with mushroom with chopped chive, chopped carrots and seaweed on the side. Soft boiled eggs where the yolk melts in your mouth... The noodles soaking into the heavy broth where every bite taste like heaven.' A young man that looks both 12 and 20 at the same time thought to himself while crawling along the riverbank, trying to pull himself towards the river. This young man is Orca.

'I can't die here without having another taste of "Haven Heaven" ramen that was made by the hands of god.' He continued to try to pull himself to the river, hoping that he could have just a sip of that water, even if it might kills him. But one man wouldn't let that happened.

As Orca, the green-eyed man, who has dark skin, medium-length blonde curly hair, and a cross earring on his left ear tried to pull himself closer to the river, he kept thinking that he couldn't die just yet without tasting another bite of the "Haven Heaven" ramen made by the hands of god himself.

'It was delicious... The ramen made by "Haven Heaven" tasted so heavenly, it was almost unreal. As if God had made it himself... I must eat it one last time before I die!'

Just then, a teenager stops right next to the green-eyed man. "Are you alright?" The voice sounds as if it came from a middle schooler and from a high schooler at the same time. Like someone who hasn't passed puberty yet.

'W-who?' He thought to himself as he looked up to see who asked that question. When he did, he saw a teenager with shoulder-length dark blue hair, and two strands of hair flowing down to his chin. Moreover, Orca notices that the blue hair boy is wearing a Tenma High School uniform with black and white high top sneakers.

The Tenma High School uniform consists of a plain navy long sleeve button-up cardigan sweater, and underneath that is a white dress shirt, and a black tie. To top it all off, the boys wear long black pants, while the girls wear black skirts, with a red and white color pattern.

"Food... I need food..." He grunted as his stomach growled in hunger.

[Five minutes later]

Orca who was dying from hunger just 5 minute ago is now slurping down mountains of ramen in Haven Heavenm, and had already eaten 6 bowls that would take 5 or 6 adults to eat within the time he ate them. "Sooooooo Good." He said as his mouth is stuffed with ramens.

As Orca ate, the person that discovered him not too long ago stared at him, wondering if he made the right choice as he pulled out his wallet and checked inside and flipping through the small amounts of money he had.

'At this rate, I'm going to be homeless.' he thought to himself, before looking at Orca who was still clearly devouring ramens.

"Um... What were you doing near the river bank?"

Before answering his question, Orca drank the last broth from his bowl. Every slurp you heard from him would want you to have what he was having. It didn't matter if you were eating the same food, because you would probably just think that the employee is treating him differently because of his skin color.

"I was about to drink some water from the river, but good thing you were there to stop me. Who knows what would have happened if you weren't there. As such, for thanks for helping me I will grant you one wish." Orca said as he pointed his chopsticks at the Tenma high schooler, before setting them down on top of his bowl.

"Thank you, but I'm fine."

"Really?" He said it in such a way that he never thought a person would say no to having one of their wish granted, especially by him.

"None has ever said no to me before, it's quite the new feeling. Now I have to grant you a wish!" He shouts. As he did, everybody in the restaurant looked at him as if he was a weirdo.

"But I don't want anything. Really."

"C'mon. C'mon. C'mon" Orca got up from his chair and was poking all over the green-eyed boy's face, imploring him to just accept his wish. The crazy thing is that Orca was able to get up from his chair within mere seconds, which would have baffled everyone, but, no one seemed to care that he moved faster than any human or animal alive. It's almost as if they were unaware it happened.

"Fine I understand."

He placed his hand against Orca chest, urging step away. "Just give me some space ok."

"Yea! I knew you wouldn't say no." Orca said in such a prideful and smug tone that it would put Escanor to same, before backing away.

"For my wish, could you just tell me your name?" The teenager just wants Orca to stop pressuring him to ask for his wish, since if he told anyone his true wish, they would be scared away, or worse, he could be put behind bars.

'Please except this as my wish.' He thought to himself.

"Oh right, I didn't tell you my name did I." He opened up one hand and made a fist with the other, before slamming his fist into his palm on the other hand. This is usually done when someone comes up with a new idea or realizes something. But neither of those occurred in this case. Orca did it because he felt it was the right time. "It's Orca. O'Neal Orca. But that's just common courtesy to give your name to someone who's brought you back to life as you were about to die."

'I never heard of a common courtesy like that before.' He thought. "Well Orca, It was nice to meet you. But i have to go." Said the teen as he was planning on calling the the waiter over so he can pay for the meal, but before he could put his hands up and call for the waiter's, Orca stopped him. "Wait a minute."

"You still having asked me what you wish for."

"But I did..." Orca's statement confused the teenager. Since he already gave him his name, which was what he wanted, why would Orca tell him for his wish when he already did?

"That wasn't a wish and we both know it. A wish is something you truly desire. What you told me wasn't a wish as you don't truly desire to know my name. Now, I'll say it again. What is your wish..." Said Orca as he pierced the young boy with a fierce glance that would make anyone piss their pants if they don't have the mental capacity.

*Gulp*

'What is this feeling? It's as though if i don't tell him the truth, i'll...'

The thought of something bad happening to him at any moment made just for not saying his dream made him gulp...

"I understand... But please, If you hear it. Don't tell anyone about it, please." The teenager pleaded to Orca.

"I promise, I will not tell anyone about your wish." Orca spoke in a very serious tone that was very different from the way he's usually spoken.

The young boy took one big deep breath in, and one big deep breath out.

"My wish is to become Japan #1 mafia leader..."
