Chapter 1 - Landed in Apocalyptic Japan?

Billions, Trillions, or even millions of Quadrillions of years go by. The start and end of planets, galaxies, universes and stars are spectacles not many beings could ever see.

The battle and collision of stars so intense it leads to a birth of a new star. These are sights our loney and bored protagonist experiences for who knows how long as he sits atop a throne, on a small island that drifts across the endless fabric of space. [Image]

His majestive and authoritve exudence of silence and power stir of aura that leaves planets trembling producing destructive earthquakes killing entire populations.

Yet he sits still, aware? I don't know… Sane? Most definitely not…

"Fuck this… fuck all of this, I've had enough, sitting here watching all this bullshit. This space air stinks of fuckin shit, I'm so bored of everything yet I just can't die… why?" A sigh escapes, tired of trying to end himself over and over again, "To be this powerful is but a curse."

Our protagonist, Ren, stands from his throne and stretches with a yawn. "I remember Lily had talked about a planet called Earth not far from here, she said I hadn't explored it yet so might as well."

With a soft leap, the island had been obliterated and Ren was travelling at the speed of billions of light years until finally arriving close to earth, Ren slowed down and was about to enter Earth. "Woohoo, let's start exploring this son of a bitch," bro whizzed straight into Earth head first and drilled right into the flat grassland creating a deep ditch.

Moments later our dumbass protagonist jumped out the the hole and dusted off his black kimono. Mentally he called out to his Odachi, "Ichigiri," a blade that would strike fear just by eyeing it, its length about 1.5 meters, dark and ominous looking. [Image]

Ren ran his fingers across its blade, "My oh My, you seem hungry I know, you shall feast soon." He seathed it on his back, his height about 6'3ft, his physique compact and muscular underneath the kimono yet not overly so, just perfect.

Ren took a deep breath in and opened his eyes revealing piercing orange-gold eyes that savoured its surroundings, admiring the Japanese field with rows of wild orange flowers creating a beautiful sight to behold. *Roar*

Ren turned and spotted a human? Well it somewhat looked like one, it came to Ren slowly roaring subtly, "Hello there, I wonder if you can tell me directions to a nearby town?" No response except a roar, "Nothing? Shit I need to learn the language," Ren walks to the human only to find? "The fuck is you?" What revealed was a Rotter, a former human turned decayed and craving the flesh of anything, no longer its former self.

The Rotter came closer and leapt forward trying to chomp at Ren, unfortunately it met an invincible being in its early stage, poor you! *Karate Chopped to Smithereens*

"That ain't no human, that shit a flesh eating hobo, well shit, guess I landed in Apocalyptic Japan."

———

Ren walked through fields of beauty in these unknown lands until finally arriving at a heavily fortified entry to a town, the guards atop motioned to open the gate and several men came forward with weapons raised.

A single man stepped forward, clearly their leader, "Stranger, why have you come here?"

Ren's eyes glowed while staring at the man peering into his brain collecting information about this world, the Japanese language and where he is. "I've come from a town far from here to the east, it was swarmed by those hideous Rotters and we could not hold our own so I ran as far and fast as I could until eventually finding this place. Please allow me entry." Ren begged with an act and even gave puppy eyes.

The leader shouted to his fellow guard, "Gerald! Come here and use your power to scan him for any infections." Gerald had come over and hovered his hand toward Ren while chanting something, his hand suddenly glowed and a light shot to Ren scanning him of anything.

"He's clear sir," Gerald bowed and returned to his station. "Very well, you may come in. But not without a cost, entry is 100 Yen," the leader stated.

Ren reached into his pouch on his side and materialised some coins into it and pulled out a hundred. "Here you are, may I enter now?" The man counted and allowed Ren in. Immediately Ren could see a bustling little town of people going about their own lives completed unperturbed by the dangers outside the gate.

"Well well, what a nice town we have here." The town looked lively with families walking around, children's hands interlaced with their parents laughing and smiling. Ren walked around and discovered that the town extended way further than he thought.

Lines of housing were displayed and further down huge lands and rows of crops were being harvested and planted, it seemed this place has been in perfect order for quite a while now. Ren continued to explore until stoping at a small but bustling tavern.

Ren entered and was guided by a mature looking woman in a yellow kimono, about 40 years old, to a table in the corner. "Welcome to the Moonlit Tavern sir, what would you like?" Ren looked at the menu and ordered foods in quantities that could feed 3 families. "Sir are you sure? The amount is a bit…" Ren held a hand up, "Fear not, my stomach is an endless pit, I can handle such little amounts." The woman still unsure sighed and agreed with the request. "Very well, please wait a bit dear customer."

Moments later the food arrived, onlookers stared and Ren was drooling. Though he never had to eat he still felt somewhat of a hunger when smelling the food wafting to him from the kitchen.

A short time later the food on Ren's table had been completely eaten and everyone stared in complete awe and respect. The mature woman came up and looked impressed, "Wow, what an impressive young man you are." Ren with his chin pointed high looking confident as though his feat was effortless, "Heh, it was nothing, here's the cost." Ren got up and left the tavern bathing in the respect of his audience.

Our protagonist was walking around the town picking his teeth with a toothpick until arriving at a deserted part of the town. "Hmm, not very lively here is it?" He suddenly heard men shouting at a secluded part of the town, Ren walked to there only to see a group of men gathering a horde of people bound by their hands as they looked down crying and begging to be released.

"Slave trading… how disgusting." Ren walked towards them, completely nonchalantly stopping just a metre away.

One of the men saw Ren and turned to his boss, "Boss we got a dumbass just watching us." The boss turned and saw Ren, eyes glowing gold looking at them. "What do we have here? What do you want? Wanna buy one of our slaves?" Ren stepped forward and looked at the slaves, their eyes pleading for help, the slavers just waited and watched.

"Well? Any catch your eye?" The boss questioned, Ren still silent spotted a lone little girl in a caged cart, sitting and bound by her hands looking completely emotionless, her round purple eyes devoid of any life.

The boss staring at the girl turned to Ren, "That one's not for sale, she's already bought by someone you can't afford to offend."

Ren turned to him, suddenly a small void manifested infront of him, the Boss's eyes widened and he stepped back preparing to attack, but it was too late. "Huh?" His head had dropped to the ground and rolled, he stared at his headless body still standing.

Ren, as though he never moved suddenly had a large odachi in his hand as he seathed it with a click. "What I set my eyes on is mine, let that be a lesson for you in the next life, that is if I let you go." Ren unsheathed his sword and slashed forward cutting the soul that had tried to flee from the Boss's body.

The little girl on the cart finally moved and looked up to Ren, her eyes widened a slight bit.
