Long ago, in the Sun kingdom, deep world… In the era of King Takeshi. there was a huge city. The city was built by the alliance of the Mori and Asai clan… There was a brave boy. black-haired with blue eyes. His name was Saikyo. he was known for being the bravest child of the era… He has never cried since he was born. He was playing with his friend in a big house (1)*.
his friend… Yuno. a white-haired boy with red eyes. He was born strong. He was known for being fearless. Saikyo was born in the Mori clan. while Yuno was born in the Asai clan.
"it's evening time… Yuno. why don't you go home… isn't it late for you?"
"No… it's never late"
"Ghosts are coming, BoOoOo…. they are gonna take you…"
"Ghosts? I wonder if they are even real… hmph…, I'm not scared of them anyway"
"Hahahaha… I bet they do… and if I see them I will never fall asleep that night"
"Hahahaha… You know what, Saikyo… You're such a coward…!"
"At least I won't cry when I lose a duel….Hahahaha"
"Next time I will make you cry for the first time…"
"Oh yeah? let's do it tomorrow"
"Alright saikyo… gotta go home now… See ya"
Yuno went back home. later that night. in the small inn in the city, something was going on…
A blonde-haired guy. shouted at someone "You wanna fight, huh?"
His name was Sasaki. he was Saikyo's older brother. the other guy said "I told you I don't have the money right now… but if you wanna settle it like this… bring it on…!" said the guy… he was black-haired. with a big scar on his nose…
"Huh? It's been two months… I won't leave till I get it back"
"Then I'll tell you I don't have it yet…! If you don't understand… I will have to tell you the hard way" Then the whole inn interrupted the fight and they stopped both of them. Sasaki ended up getting kicked out of the inn…
He shouted "If you die anytime soon. know it will be by my hands"
All the people from the inn were shocked when he said that. Then he went home after he was upset.
Saikyo saw him coming home and he felt that he was upset.
"Why are you upset?" he with a worried face.
Sasaki yelled at him and said "Shut the hell up and go to sleep… quickly"
"meh… you're so mean today…"
Sasaki slapped him in the face and went to sleep. He calmed down after a few minutes.
"Why did I do this to Saigo? Why did I say that… I have to apologize for what I did."
He fell asleep. Time passed till tomorrow. Sasaki went to the mountains to train as usual. After a moment. Saigo showed up. "Yo… I got your money… I apologize for not paying you sooner. It was a gift but you can have it"
"You said it was a gift, right?"
"Yes"
Sasaki put his hand on his shoulder "Keep it, bro… I don't need it anymore. I apologize for being rude last night…*
"Really?"
"yeah… keep it… it's a gift. I cannot take it from you"
"Thank you… I appreciate it."
Then they started hugging… They sat down and had a fun talk together… but things didn't go well… suddenly. Sasaki found himself having a sword on his chest… Saigo got so disappointed that you could see just by looking at his eyes. Somehow Sasaki survived this sudden attack from behind. Turns out it was a bandit that wanted the money… They both stood up. Sasaki was unfazed. He took brutal damage. But that's not enough to take him down.
"A bandit, huh? Why do you have to ruin this moment… you could have come alone sooner and I would still take you… even my young brother saikyo can take you on"
"Money, buddy… money…! If I get paid enough… I would even try to kill King Takeshi"
"Whoa… you have a big mouth… well guess what… you are so stupid that you would suicide for money… oh yeah and that's about to happen. By challenging the Alliance of Mori and Asai clan."
End chapter.

The sun kingdom is inspired by Ancient Asia. Mostly inspired by ancient Japanese culture. So the big city is also inspired by the Japanese samurai/ shinobi era. Including the worldbuilding as well.
