Memories flooded to his mind and he did not have a good one at that. His life was full of hardships and he barely has friends. He has none at all!
With that, he also was starving as he did not ate well. His physique was losing strength and then he was suffering from asthmatic disease. Making it hard to exert any drastic movements.
As well as the past life, his life right now was also the same. His past luck also made it here in this time of life, and place; he was also a trash weakling again this around. "How can bad luck transcend time and space?" He asked himself.
He went home and some kids threw stones at him in which he ignored....
He was back to his dorm and it was a solitary place. The rats went scouring away as he opened the door and light hits their presence. He opened the door and then saw the darkness that enveloped the room. A bed, table, dresser and a bathroom. All put into one room. He went to the kitchen and went to break his piggy bank and fetched himself with several bronze coins.
He was still 4 years old and he lived solitary. Fetching for himself and was just given below average allowance by the Warlord himself of the Academy.
His memories merged to Xin and he was now Xin as his soul merged with him..... To think of it, he was deemed as the son of the Mass murderer Shen and it was not a good one, it was bad news! He would live like a son of a Villain from now on and has to sort things out. With it, he will have to endure the harsh treatment of the village.
He grabbed his remaining bronze coins and then planned to buy medicine for his asthma. He went to the store to buy medicine with a few blocks away but was blocked by several kids and parents. The clouds was gloomy and the rain started to pour.
"You son of a murderer! Your father killed my husband! You must go to Hell! Bring back my husband!" She shouted. His son then picked a stone and threw it at him in which his head was struck by the projectile.
His other friends also came and throw stones at him in which made his face bruised by the hits of the stones. His face swollen, his bones on his chest was shaken and he was battered black and blue by the kids. The parents also came rushing and kicking him on the stomach.
Xin, on the contrary, raised his head and his forehead gushed bleeding. Making him smile even all the pain. His fist's strength diminished and his coins were poured on the ground and it came rolling.
Then with a second round of throwing, suddenly, there was a man that appeared. Shielding all the stones from them. Making them see that it was a robes coming from a teacher of the academy..
He was thrown with stones, he was bleeding on his head but he still smiled. Then Kiyoshi came by a teleporting skill, he received the stones and was hit on the head several times. Then he was asked, "Are you okay child?"
"Yes!?" Tears welling from his eyes.
Kiyoshi then stood up and then he said with a loud voice. "All who wants to mess with this child, you mess with me! Understood?"
"Tsk," said the parents, "Let's go."
With that, they went to go home and he saw the kid grabbed the coins. He then coughed hard and was wheezing.
"Wait, you are a student? You want to be a great martial artist?" Kiyoshi asked.
"Yes! By the way, I am Xin, nice to meet you." Xin said to him.
"I am Kiyoshi." he said then gave him the medicine that he wanted to buy. With that, Xin welled with tears. His pain was not even comparable to his feelings right now, all the pain and weight of his shoulders were now lifted.
He immediately went to go to his home and then he let him rest and bandaged him. He accompanied him for dinner and then the two went to know each other.
"Hey, what would you want to eat for dinner?" He asked.
"Soup," he said.
"Okay, then let's go to the nearest soup stall.
They ate pork soup with pork slices and then Xin told everything that happened. He was a son of a mass murderer that he was loathed by the village.
"Yah, sigh, it will be a hard one to pass. But stay strong, I will help you clear your name."
"Thanks," Xin said with a sighing tone.
Kiyoshi understood but it was a complicated case. He could not change the way the people would treat him but he told Xin to stay strong. And prove to them that he was not a villain.
Instead, he wanted to become the next Warlord of the Village. That's his dream.
Warlords were the protectors of the village. They were the strongest and has the capacity to defend from enemy attacks. They were the ones assigned by the King to protect and manage the village under their care. They would be tasked to solve the problem of the village and to protect peace at all cost.
It would be an arduous path to prove Xin's point of view. And it would be a good idea if he could be accepted by all the people. He needed to change the people's thinking about him and he would be dealing with this problem one of a time.
"Hey, thanks for the soup." Xin said, still bandaged from head to toe.
"It's fine. I will visit from now on. I hope I can at least be you foster parent." He said to him.
"Nah, don't mind me, I can handle myself." Xin said to him.
After eating, the two went home and Xin was happy that he made a friend. Or a godfather perhaps?
