Once there was a young man named Ash who was known throughout the kingdom for his striking good looks and charming personality. However, beneath his handsome exterior lay a darker side - Ash was a fraudster, thief, and arsonist.

It all began when Ash was just a boy. His parents were poor and struggling to make ends meet, and Ash soon learned that the only way to get ahead in life was to cheat and steal. He started small, stealing from his classmates and selling their possessions for a profit.

As he grew older, Ash's schemes became more elaborate. He would forge documents and contracts, tricking people into giving him money and property. He even set fire to several buildings in order to collect on the insurance payouts.

However, Ash's luck eventually ran out. The kingdom's authorities caught wind of his crimes and began to pursue him with a vengeance. Ash knew that he could not outrun them forever, and so he went into hiding.

But even in hiding, Ash could not escape the guilt and shame of his actions. He knew that he had hurt many people and destroyed lives with his schemes. He began to question whether the wealth and power he had gained were really worth the cost.

In the end, Ash turned himself in to the authorities and confessed to all of his crimes. He was sentenced to a long prison term, but he felt a sense of relief and closure knowing that he had finally taken responsibility for his actions.

And though his reputation was forever tarnished, Ash knew that he had learned a valuable lesson about the true cost of greed and deceit.

Ash's time in prison was a difficult but transformative experience for him. He had plenty of time to reflect on his past actions and the harm he had caused to others. He felt remorseful and wished he could undo all the wrongs he had done.

While in prison, Ash began to develop a newfound sense of empathy and compassion towards his fellow inmates.

He saw that many of them were also victims of circumstances and had made mistakes in their lives. He began to listen to their stories and offer them words of encouragement and support.

Ash also spent his time in prison learning new skills and educating himself. He read books on philosophy, religion, and psychology, trying to understand more about human nature and what drove people to commit crimes.

Eventually, Ash's good behavior and willingness to change earned him the respect of the prison staff and fellow inmates. He was released from prison early thanks to his good behaviour and was determined to start a new life, one that was based on honesty and integrity.

Ash knew that he had a long road ahead of him, and that many people would never forgive him for his past actions. But he was determined to make amends and use his experiences to help others avoid the same mistakes he had made.

In the end, Ash's story became a cautionary tale of the dangers of greed and deceit, but also a story of redemption and second chances. Though he could never undo the harm he had caused, Ash was determined to spend the rest of his life making things right, one small step at a time.

At least, that's what he wanted others to think of him. In reality, Ash knew that he couldn't escape this by being his true self, but by disguising as another person.

A person that is determined for redemption and tries desperately to redeem his deeds, someone that would look worth forgiving and thus gradually earn the trust and respect of many.

Eventually, after deceiving everyone, Ash had many plans ahead for the future as in secret he was one of the most fearsome individuals at the dark world thanks to his high intelligence and his eloquent speaking ability.

And to begin with it, he starts with Damian, his 'best friend', at least if he could still call him that after everything that has happened. 'Heh', he chuckled inside his head as he was reminiscing the latest events between Damian and himself.

However, what he didn't know was that he was being surreptitiously watched by another human; a guy in his twenties with bright blond hair that shone like the shining sun and blue eyes like jewels.

This man, clothed in black had many intentions and calculated plans for Ash, but waited patiently until he was out of prison and followed him without being noticed.
