Year 5090
Earth. Said to be the most fascinating planet in the universe. It's texture and atmosphere is considered by the masses to be something you will never, ever find in the 200 galaxies.
Well that's what the Intergalactic Association says anyways.
Unfortunate for such a beautiful planet it was destroyed 3,000 years ago by the hands of evil creatures. The Scorns or rather The Scorns of the Universe.
Earthlings are now forever a thing of the past. The ones that managed to survive by living on earth's moon dead and forgotten. Now earthlings goes by the name Moonlanders.
And on earth's one and only moon, inside a luxurious mansion a meeting between two aristocrats was being held. On opposite sides of these two seems to be bodyguards dressed in black suits.
These two sat in polished chairs made of the finest gold found on mars. In front of them lay a table filled with delicious food made from the meat of Galaxy Beasts.
"Minister Stone, to what do I owe the pleasure?" The man, the owner of this mansion sat comfortably in his chair, his huge belly bloating for the amount of food he took in.
"Is it wrong to visit a dear friend of mine?" Minister Stone chuckled as he raise his fork to munch on the food provided in front of him.
"Of course not. However, entertaining a guest such as you is quite expensive you know?" The man kissed his teeth together in annoyance while unmannerly raising the leg of a fried Galaxy Beast into his mouth.
"You are always such a blunt person Zac Llyod and that is something I cherish deeply about you." Minister Stone chuckled once more before crossing his fingers together before hiding his lower face beneath them.
If one were to look closely then they would be able to see his smile filled with only wicked desires.
"The President is getting more and more arrogant by the day." Minister Stone revealed with eyes filled with hate and envy.
"For a man who is on his deathbed he sure is persistent." Zac Llyod remarked as he place the leg of another galaxy beast into his mouth.
"How long has he been in power? 2,000 years? 2,500 years? To think a human who isn't a Galaxy Diver could live so long. The 66th President, Jacoby Barron. The descendant of the 60th President, the last earthling president."
"Even most Galaxy Divers don't live that that long."
"Yes and it's getting on my nerves." Minister Stone fumed with gritted teeth as he's reminded of the fact that President Barron is the oldest human on the moon. No— probably the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
"I am assuming you need my men assistants in taking care of him. So... what do you propose Minister Stone?" Zac Llyod questioned, his eyes locked onto Minister Stone as he wait for an answer.
"I want your men to disguise as hooligans and murder him." Minister Stone answered with a determined look. His eyes filled with greed and desire.
"It's about time that man is removed from his seat as President."
"This won't be cheap you know." Zac Llyod replied while opening nine of his fingers.
"Please Zac. I may be a lacking in many things, but money is something I will never lack." He said, his eyes glimmering with a hint of humiliation as if Zac was stepping on his pride as a aristocrat.
"I demand nine digits. Surely you have that amount to spare right?" Zac Llyod with his keen eyes quickly noticed his gesture and teased him.
"As I said money isn't something I lack Zac." Minister Stone huffed with warning eyes. Zac seeing those eyes didn't push his limit any longer as Minister Stone faction could destroy him easily with one word from his mouth.
He's a Minister with immense reputation after all.
"We have a deal then." Zac Llyod rise up from his chair to close the deal.
However, just as he was about to close the deal with a handshake an object lashed into his hand.
"Huh?" Zac Llyod feeling something in his hand looked down in confusion. What could it be? He wondered.
Never in his wildest dreams would he believe someone would dare try harm him in his own home.
He look down only to see a sharp blade of a dagger pierced deep into his hand. His blood crying to flow out of his bleeding hand.
"W- Who dare to do such an outrageous thing to me!" Zac Llyod screamed in horror as he realize the danger of his predicament.
"Me." A voice whispered behind Zac back, the dagger that was in hand vanishing from sight.
Zac Llyod froze at the sudden voice. The voice didn't sound demanding or carried the air of an noble like Minister Stone nor did it sound respectful like his bodyguards.
Instead the voice sounded cold and lifeless, like the voice of a man tired of living.
The voice of a man coming to claim another's life.
The Grim Reaper himself.
The dagger that was plunged into Zac Llyod hand sliced the back of his neck ending his life right then and there.
All of this occur in merely three seconds. It was so fast, the bodyguards who some were once famous Galaxy Divers in the Milky Way Galaxy couldn't even react in time.
"What—" Minister Stone looked on in absolute horror. His body titled back at the sight of his friend dead body before falling out of his chair.
He quickly got up and looked up at the person who dare commit such treason. What he saw made him nearly piss his pants.
The intruder wore all black, allowing him to blend perfectly in the dark. He also wore an old coat that seems to been through a lot as holes riddle its fabric.
His black hair slightly long yet short and neat at the same time, his coldblooded dark-blue eyes that look down at Minister Stone with a hint of killing intent within them.
"You are The Black Reaper." Minister Stone announced, shocking the crowd of bodyguards.
"Protect the Minister!" The leader of the bodyguards, a muscular yet lean man commanded before getting in front of the minister. The bodyguards of the dead Zac Llyod also gathered together in front of the intruder as they were deeply afraid of the title 'Black Reaper.'
"Why are you doing this!" Pleased by the quick thinking of his bodyguards, Minister Stone regain his wits and questioned with a loud shout.
"How dare you murder my friend in cold blood! I will have you arrested for this act!" He condemned the intruder.
"You ask why I am doing this?" The intruder scoffed while wiping the blood of Zac Llyod off his dagger.
"It's because I am just like you. A greedy person with great desires." He smirked, his smile filled with evil intent.
Minister Stone seeing that smile back away slowly in fright. His smile in his eyes looking very loathsome.
"You demon." He uttered unconsciously.
"Thank you for the praise Minister." The intruder continue smiling before jumping off the table.
"Minister get away from here!" The muscular, lean man seeing that the intruder was about to make a move yelled.
"I will give you hell you demonic intruder!" Minister Stone shouted with gritted teeth before running out of the mansion.
Before he could even take three steps a dagger pierced into his head.
"No..." Feeling the pain he groaned, a groan filled with unsatisfied greed and desires before falling to the floor, dead.
"No way...." The lean man was once again at a loss. The dagger flew right pass him yet he was too slow to react.
"Mission Completed. I guess I should get rid of you side characters now." The intruder said as another dagger fell from his sleeve into his left hand.
He then turn his gaze behind him. The bodyguards of the dead Zac Llyod seeing this froze at his eyes that seem to reveal dark-blue sparks of light.
"You shouldn't be letting down your guard like that." The intruder shook his head, raised his dagger slightly and moved.
"What a monster." The lean bodyguard uttered with a gulp. What he just witnessed made him believe his time as a Galaxy Diver was merely a joke.
"Their all dead." Before him lay the lives of Zac Llyod and Minister Stone's bodyguards. They didn't die in an instant, nor in a blink of an eye. No— they in fact all died in merely 15 seconds.
In those fifteen seconds all he could do was watch in complete amazement!
"Brilliant, absolute brilliance! To think our planet could produce a man as strong as you!" The man clapped his hands in praise.
"However, you messed with the wrong man." He soon sighed before tensing his body up for a fight.
"No. 104,607 Star Diver is here to challenge you."
"Larry Cleveland." He announced to the intruder.
"A Galaxy Diver? I always wanted to test myself against one." The intruder commented as he look up into the sky.
"It's a pity though." He sighed as his smile turn into a slight frown.
"What's a pity?"
"The stars have determined you to be too weak." The intruder declared with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Are you mocking me!" Larry unable to control his anger launched himself at the intruder. When he got close by his hands quickly became wrapped in red gloves catching the intruder off-guard.
CLING!
Larry smashed his hand at the intruder only for it to be stopped by the blade of a dagger.
"I can think of over a hundred ways I could kill you right now." The intruder sudden remark startled Larry as he thought he had the upper hand.
The intruder then applied a little force into his dagger, knocking back Larry, shocking him. He then moved one step and his dagger was already on his neck.
"I could slice your neck just like that aristocrat." He stated causing Larry to jump back in fright.
'His movement is strange.' Larry seeing that he got some distance touched his neck to see that it was still intact before staring at the intruder with a serious look.
"I can see now why they call you the Black Reaper."
"A meaningless title." The intruder shook his head while taking three steps forward.
'Here he comes." Larry prepared himself for another farce. However....
"I could stab you in the stomach." The intruder was already on him. His dagger pointing at his stomach as he constantly push it back and forward as if contemplating whether he should kill him.
'This is not possible.' Larry admitted to himself, his body trembling out of control before he fall to the ground in despair.
"I could slice your legs."
"Cut your tongue out."
"Tear your eyes out of their sockets."
"I could probably even destroy your prize jewels and you wouldn't be able to react in time."
"Just end me already." Hearing the intruder words he finally knew he had no chance from the beginning. The intruder at this point was only playing with him.
"You gave up already?" The intruder questioned as he stop playing around.
"You said it yourself. I am too weak." Larry revealed a dejected smile. At first he refused to believe that he was weak, but now he could only accept the fact.
"But shouldn't you fight for your life? We live only one life after all." The intruder titled his head in confusion, he even lower his guard.
"It's pointless. I lost to someone who isn't even a Galaxy Diver. What's the point in living anymore?" Larry quickly noticed that he lowered his guard, but only laughed in the end.
"I saw what you were trying to do. You are from the Assassination Guild right? Then I am guessing you probably learn that annoying blink ability of theirs. If I continue fighting you were going to lure me to the body of Minister Stone where the dagger you used to kill him still lays before blinking to it and kill me on the spot." He revealed.
"Smart." The intruder nodded at his response.
"Of course. I am a Blazer after all." Larry said with a hint of pride.
"Indeed. But how do you know I am not a Galaxy Diver?"
"Oh please. Someone as strong as you at a young age staying in this back water planet?"
"Impossible." He said with a bit of disgust in his tone. It seems like he did not enjoy the earth's moon much.
"Fair point."
"I will grant you your wish then. It was fun while it last." The intruder concluded as he prepare to deal the final blow to Larry.
"Wait! May I know your name?"
"Adin Kosmas." Before the name could register into his mind he end his life in the most painless manner possible.
