Lucius Nocturn that's my name I live in America and I'm seventeen years old, a orphan my parents died when I was three, and I'm currently being beaten to death by a group of high-school girls... many would find such a situation embarrassing but I'm severely malnourished, my body was already on the verge of breaking down, I don't really care what other people think of me at this point, and they ganged up on me so its not much to be embarrassed of. Many might ask why are you being beaten to death by a group of high-school girls, well... someone might have been selling their used panties while posting information of who they once belonged to... it wasn't me though I was obviously framed but because of my creepy appearance, bad reputation, the fact that I look like I'm in poverty, and with my complete lack of freinds nobody would believe me and from a third person point of view I wouldn't believe in myself either.
But my life always wasn't this shitty I was once was very handsome, had a nice apartment filled with stolen valuables that I once lived in, and a very benevolent Master who took me in after seeing me smiling crazily while fighting a group of wild dogs over a hot dog when I was four, he was a very kind old man he was also a master in assination and thievery- like a said very kind man and he taught me everything he knew until he passed on and by the time he stopped teaching me I was a master myself turns out I'm quite a genius in assassination and stealing despite being a battle junkie... my nature is quite the opposite that was required to be an assassin but I can easily hold myself back when my targets were all so weak... (what? I still an professional assassin, I got pretty good self control.) Thinking of my targets I still remembered how mad Master was when I said I didn't want to kill any innocents and I can also remember when Master said assassins don't have morals, but everyone has some disagreements some time.
Being a master in assination and thievery automatically includes being master in all the skill that are required to be one such as infiltration, deception/acting, surveillance, ambushing, posion, traps, stealth, disguises, lock picking, pick-pocketing... Yeah stuff like that and being his student I naturally possess all those abilities as well and I might even be a little better than Master but Master had quite a cute tsundere side and was well... to old to spar so I will never know- but many people would question if I am so great why am I getting beaten by a group of high-school girls? Well about one year after Master's death which was when I was fifteen I was sitting in my apartment and I just finished a job and got quite sum of money when I coughed up blood... and no I didn't receive any injuries during the assination as it was excruciatingly quick and easy, so very puzzled why I'm practically barfing blood I decided to visit the hospital-
*Flashback*
Walking through the tall glass doors which were quite shiny I walk over to the pretty receptionist and say-
"Hello, I'm here for an appointment under Lucius Nocturn", "Okay you exactly on time, Doctor Mitchell is ready to see you now" the pretty receptionist says.
Hearing what the the receptionist said I knock on the door of Doctors Mitchell's room and I enter after hearing him say come in. Now inside a pristine office I sit down on the nice leather chair that's across from Doctor Mitchell's desk and hear him say "Hello, young Lucius what may you be here for today? Actually in opinion your body looks pretty robust and you are quite young." quickly responding I say "I recently started coughing up large amounts of blood"
Doctor Mitchell was quite shocked at that relevation but he soon started doing blood test once getting my permission-
*Flashback over*
And that is how I learned that I have a very unique blood disease that oh so delightfully had no known cures. So while having no problem thinking all this while being beaten to death (the high-school girls didn't know I would be so weak) because I'm quite tough and used to the pain... I finally die mainly becasue I lacked energy to fight back in the first place and this time a girl with freakishly large biceps hit me... straight in the temple. Bitch I hope you feel guilty.
But I was left to feel very surprised, I feel very much alive and I suddenly appeared in a pretty intriguing seemingly endless space I observe it a little bit and notices it has a cloudy grey sky that has places where the clouds are like black voids, but It was also a bright sun, and a vibrant field of grass filled with red spider lilies, along with a large amount that is probably larger than the amount of spider lilies, and small bright silver stars just floating around randomly which was quite different from the pool of blood I was laying in earlier. Even when I was observing the space around me I was always aware of my surroundings- a habit formed from my job as assassin and a trauma that if I let down my guard my Master will appear out of no where with a knife, So I quickly noticed when a well groomed middle aged man in what looks like to be battle gear suddenly appeared I quickly get into a combat stance only to hear him say- "it okay relax I'm not going to harm you... anymore" me being the smart person I am of course did not immediately trust him but having noticed that he has no intentions to fight I ask- "Why am I not dead? And what do you mean by anymore!?!"
I soon hear him say "okay let's just both sit down I will explain" for some reason I feel compelled to sit down so we are both now sitting down among the verdant grass and the spider lilies while I'm listening to his words. "I'm dying soon so I wanted a successor so I killed you! cool right?" Hearing his words I give him a deadpan expression not bothering to hide my emotions and ask "so... because you were dying you wanted me to die to?" seeing that he realized that he should explain more in depth I once again listen to what he's saying- "Do you see this area?", "Yeah...?" I repsond "This is something like your soul space it kinda reflects off you- the sky displays your personality mainly grey but with quite a few black and plenty white spots, the healthy grass shows you were meant to prosper, and the red spider lilies represent the lives you took, just like how the stars represent the lives you saved- in your case you saved them indirectly" hearing him say all this but still not knowing why I was killed makes me little frustrated and he might be able to see that becasue he contuines what he was saying- "I intend to use the karmic energy you have accumulated to send you somewhere where you will be reborn and can become something worthy of being my successor while giving you my own gift and turning your abilities into something more."
Seeing that it is a deal I ask "will I keep my memories?" at such a question he laughs and said "Of course that what makes you so great"
