Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Enter shoji

Once again, I've gotten myself into another fight. This has become a common occurance at this point. Everytime I get a little provoked, I immediatly jump to fighting. But it's not like I'll lose so I don't really care.

"Alright asshole, I'm tired of your bullshit. Stop acting cool and put those hands up!" he said. I got into a fight with another delinquent at my school, he seems to be tougher than most of the guys i fight.i can't really recall his name but I think it was inosuke or something like that. He has giant arms that definitely hold a lot of power and could definitely leave a scratch on me, but Its nothing I can't handle. He also has an extemely large body that completly exceeded the average body of a normal highschool student. He has large spikey hair and a prideful smirk on his face. He's confident that he can beat me.

"Alright alright, we don't need to rush. " I say as I raise my fists in the air, ready for combat.

He gets closer to me but far enough where I can't see too many openings to strike. Despite his large body his movements are swift and he doesn't expend any unneccassry energy. Yeah, this guy is definitely the real deal.

"what's wrong huh? You can't keep up with me?" he says with a confident smile on his face. I do admit he isn't half bad but to me, he's just a slightly better punching bag.

After a couple of more seconds, he finally makes his move. He throws a strong and fast left hook to my head. But I had already anticipated that.

I quickly dodge the punch and go below him. His punch was perfect but it left him completly open. After I went below him, I jumped on him to mess up his balance. After I get onto him I hit him with a quick knee kick to fully get his feet of the ground so I can finish him off. He falls to the ground and I start grappling with him and put him into a choke hold. His size was his biggest strength but also his biggest weekness and it made him very easy to grapple.

"I-I give up. P-Please stop." he said as he was gasping for air.

"Ok." I say with a dismissive tone. I get off of him and pick up my school bag, ready to go back home.

"God, it's already noon I should go home quickly". I think to myself as I'm about to leave. But the guy I was fighting said one more thing to me.

"H-Hey before you go, tell me, what's your name?" he said to me while still laying on the ground with a serious look on his face.

"Uh my name is Shoji" I responded. He seemed to have gained respect for me, so much so that he asked for my name.

He looked at me with a satisfied look on hisface so I just turned back around and left. And now it was time for the most dreadful part of the day, the day I come back home.

"I'm home." I always say that when I come home but i never get a response anyway. I go up stairs and change from my school uniform I go to the living room and just as usual. My dad is sitting in the dark watching TV while drinking a can of beer. There were some empty cans of beer on the floor and just as usual he had that same look of emptiness as always.

"Hey dad, I'm back from school" I said to him in a low tone. He turns his head around slowly to look at me and gives me that same shitty look he always gives me.

"Oh you, if you're not busy then clean the house" he said to me with a disinterested look on his face. This pathetic asshole is still the same as he always is. He doesn't make any food, he doesn't have a job, and he doesn't even acknowledge me. The only reason we're still living in a house is because my uncle pitys him and helps him out.

"Alright dad, I'll clean up" this is a common occurance so I'm already past the point of caring. I think im a little hungry I guess I'll go out and get some food at a convenience store.

After I got down cleaning up the house I left the house without telling my dad. It's not like he cares anyway.

I didn't have that much money so I just bought some onigiri for dinner. As I was walking home with a small bag of onigiri I started to feel really nauscous.

The more I walked, the more dizzy I felt. I started feeling a sharp pain in my head that made me feel as if a knife was digging into my skull. I started walking faster to try to get home quicker but the faster I walked the more dizzy I became. My eyes started to become blurry and my surroundings were becoming more and more unrecognizable.

I fell to the ground out of exhaustion and was on the verge of fainting. When I was about to faint on the ground I heard a faint voice in my head.

[I command thou mortal, to become thine vessel. For I am Nyx, the god of shadows]

I woke up from my sleep. The dizziness I felt before had almost completly disappeared my body felt like it was back to normal. But once I looked at my surroundings something was different.

I didn't know where I was going anymore.
