Fires and screams erupted throughout the city. Shadow-like beings came through the ground and dragged people from their feet to their damnation.
A little boy ran out from his small house and began to cry, he was confused. Why was this happening? Why did it happen to him?
His small eyes wandered throughout the newly hellish landscape, laying them upon the thousands of corpses piled in front of the local church. A numbness was felt on his head, totally in shock on the current situation.
What once was a peaceful city with neighbors helping neighbors and him playing with their kids has turned to this. His neighbors dead, in front of his very eyes. The children he had played with strewn about with their guts hanging from their bodies..
In response to these sights his legs went weak and he fell to his knees. He began to cry harder, when he attempted to avoid the horrific scene by diverting his eyes he was met with the image of his parents.
Their bodies were disfigured and the only way he could recognize who they were was their face that was halfway ripped off. What happened after this.. is unknown as the boy jolted awake in his bed.
"AHHH!" He screamed as his body shook and tears welt up in his eyes as he recalled the event from 15 years ago when he was only 5 years old. This event would come to be known as the "Silencing".
Prior to this event it was common knowledge that demons were all just stories and an impossibility that can't exist. That was.. until "The Silencer" appeared.
There aren't many people who have seen this demon but the ones who did had their entire cities destroyed, effectively silencing them.
Now that the appearence of demons and monsters have become commonality, every person in the world had begun to seriously train.. as there was a certain effect that could happen.
Meditating would increase your spiritual power which would eventually form an aura. This spiritual power also helped develop unique powers, but the only way to obtain those powers are by training intensely.
The man who had just awoken is named Shen. After this event he was known by everyone as the "Misfortune Bringer" due to the fact that he was the only one who had survived this event. It was a complete massacre besides himself.
Shen has been training and meditating ever since the "Silencing" happened. Unfortunately, he has yet to awaken his ability..
Shen got up out of his small uncomfortable looking bed and opened the door. He was currently in living in a small apartment that was infested with cockroaches as he couldn't afford to go anywhere else.
He sighed as he recalled his past and shook his head. He had promised internally since the event that he would work harder in his training and this caused him to constantly have a reminder of his past, haunting his dreams in the process.
Shen stepped out of his house after getting ready and walked towards the location of his job. He was currently employed as a spaceship janitor. This enabled him to see many sights.. as well as many disgusting messes. His coworkers have bullied him relentlessly due to his low standing and status as the "Misfortune Bringer". This job was the only one that had required no experience, and no degree.
Soon enough he arrived at his destination, got dressed, put his belongings in his locker, and boarded the space ship.
The spaceship wasn't anything too fancy. This particular one was a cruise ship which had a high amount of passengers. It was large, but not many luxuries onboard, the entire purpose of this ship was to look at the surfaces of different planets and enjoy the sight seeing.
Shen began to loathe the passengers for their ridiculous expenditures and ability to enjoy things he couldn't possibly dream of if it wasn't for his job. "Fucking rich pricks." He said under his breath. A phrase that he was often allowing to slip his lips.
"Ewww! Someone just puked all over the toilet in area A1! Come clean it up now!" One of Shen's female co workers shouted through the radio into Shen's earpiece.
"On my way.." Shen reluctantly replied.
As he strolled throughout the large space ship he thought to himself. Mainly of how to acquire a unique ability and escape his current life, but these thoughts never led to anything.
He then arrived at the location in A1. There were three sections of this space ship with 10 areas. A, B, and C. Shen was the only janitor on the entire ship and had to clean everything himself which is just ridiculous, but he was forced to agree as it was in his job's contract and he couldn't possibly find a new job.
Shen met face to face with his foe.. But on second look he had reinforcements! Right next to the vomit was a pile of shit, spread all over the toilet seat and walls.
Shen immediately punched the wall in anger.
"WHAT THE FUCK? What kind of stupid dumb fucking piece of shit rich as-" Before he could continue he heard a voice behind him.
"What was that Janitor Shen?" The female voice said.
Shen slowly turned around and noticed that his boss was right behind him.
"N-nothing I was just-" Shen was cut off.
"You were what?! There is nothing that can excuse this type of behavior!" The women screamed into his face with fury.
Suddenly.. gunshots were heard. "This is an emergency! Pirates are taking over the-" The overhead speakers were cut off.
The female then shook in fear. "W.. what? Please protect me Shen! If you don't you're fired!" Her attitude turned completely around...
Shen rolled his eyes and started to think dark thoughts.. 'If I kill her.. nobody would think it was me!' But he quickly set these thoughts aside.
His rational thinking came into play. With all of the advanced technology nowadays, it would be quite easy to find out it was him.
"Alright. Stay close to me." Shen reluctantly replied.
"Good, you should know to listen to you-" She was cut off. Her HEAD was cut off. It rolled in front of Shen as his blood started racing. In full view of him was a deranged maniac with a machete!
