Thousands of people were in their houses praying for the War god to return victorious, Each one of them had tears falling from their eyes as they looked at their loved ones. Everyone was holding each other tightly as they all prayed...
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
A series of explosions was heard by all of the people as they looked up at the mountain only to see almost the entire snow that covered the tip of the mountain had started to fall towards the direction of the invasive army, They all were relieved but they still felt uneasiness in their hearts. They all knew the reason for their worries yet none of them even tried to acknowledge it.
A few of the police that were in-charge of protecting the citizens started to move towards the battlefield after waiting for a bit incase the army attacked but after no movements from the army they started to head up.
The citizens were trying to cheer each other up by saying stuff like "Haha the Commander always win" "ye-yeah" but still all of the citizens were looking at the officers that were returning after going up... but something was missing, their faces did not show even a tinge of happiness about winning the war.
Instead they all had tears in their eyes and some of them even had taken off their hats and tried to cover their face... The people knew what that meant yet they tried to ignore reality by thinking it was a prank "Where is the War god?" "Yeah prank us later guys we want to see him"
but the police head just nodded his head sideways and all of the citizens couldn't handle it, they all were completely shaken. The War god... No Asura who was born an orphan and lived his life in a small orphanage that rarely got food, who was taken into the military since he was 12 because of lack of soldiers in the country, had died protecting them.
The people all mourned and cried, at the same time heavy rain poured down from the sky and the entire country was soon painted with sadness and regret... Sadness because they had lost someone that they all considered family and regret because they didn't even try to stop him even when they knew that the battle would lead to this.
Soon a funeral was held under the rain, they didn't have Asura's body because of the avalanche and also because his body was no longer left after the explosion. they instead buried his belongings and his sword, "Asura I hope at least in your afterlife you get the life you deserve" "Rest in peace my son even though I couldn't do anything for you, you still did everything for me.. you deserve a better life" were the thoughts in the people minds as they thought about Asura.
But unbeknownst to them all of their prayer reached the almighty and he smiled, he flicked his finger to alter reality and made the soul of the young hero get reborn into his favorite manga...
