1 The Start.

Empty space, No sense, No vision.

Leon slowly opened his eyes. The first thought that came to his mind was." Am I in Hell or Heaven?"

He tried to move but couldn't. Feeling loneliness and desolation in his current place, he couldn't imagine being left out again.

Ever since he was born, he didn't have the courage to give birth to 'Love'. But he yearned for it more than anyone else. From birth, he had no parents and was just found beside the road. Some people picked him up and gave him to an orphanage.

So he was raised in an orphanage, hoping to meet new friends and family, but he wasn't a native of the country. So the children there tried to maintain their distance from him for some reason that he didn't know. Still, he didn't give up, he tried to get close to them. After many attempts and seeing no children speak to him, he began to distance himself.A funny thing happened when he was 8, a couple expressed interest in adopting him. This should not have been funny but rather a thing that he wanted to happen to him the most.

But the first question they asked made him doubt his life. They asked what his name was. He became numb when they asked. Having been alone since birth with no parents, no friends, and no one caring or asking, so he didn't know this particular thing. Even the adults who take care of them in the orphanage don't bother about names. Because the orphanage is in an extremely busy place, people and caretakers have many things to do. Also, people are constantly coming to adopt children. So they didn't waste time naming anyone.

The question made him freeze. But the people didn't know that; the people who came to adopt him saw him as quiet, cold, and seemingly mentally challenged, so they didn't want to adopt him.

He didn't even care about getting adopted, he went to his room and cried. He cried the whole month, asking himself, Who was he? Why was he alone?

From that moment on, he began to embody silence and coldness.

He also gave himself a name, Leon. Started working as a kid to live. At the workplace, they gave him a place to live, so he doesn't come late. The orphanage didn't ask anything, just let him have his clothes and let him leave. They were always happy as children were going away.

With his own earnings, he started going to school. The highest he could study was till high school. After the age of eighteen, he was hoping for a good job but stayed jobless for four years after having no good qualifications.

At last, he got his first job at twenty-two.

He worked to the bone to rank up.

After three years of hard work, he finally got to enjoy himself.

Then the disaster struck. A woman named Baily started to seduce him. Starting to taste the sweetness of life, he forgot all his past suffering and started to indulge in joy. She requested, and he gave her everything, Really Everything. When he started having a hard time, he sought help from her but got cold shoulders. Then he knew he had strayed from the path he had taken.

Then.

No job, no money, no friends, no relatives.

Just got back to where he started from.He wanted to end his life at some point but still gritted his teeth, searching for a new way to live.

One day, after getting rejected by a workplace, he was on his way home. While passing by an alley, he saw a boy getting beaten hard, and his breathing was low. It looked like the boy might die at any moment.

He wanted to leave after seeing this; after all, he was alone, wasn't he?But then something clicked in him.

He rushed.

He jumped in and punched the closest guy in the face. It was then that the other members saw him, stopped beating up the other boy, and swarmed him.

Being physically weak and having no fighting experience, they easily beat him up badly.

It wasn't a good idea to jump in; he knew he was not a good fighter and also had a weak physique. He knew he would be getting beaten up heavily. Why did he jump in? To be some self-proclaimed hero?

He was thinking maybe after beating him up they would leave. He wanted to stay quiet and get beaten up.

What a joke!

He didn't know he was a revenge-type guy. He wanted to choke the leader to death and wipe his grin off his face.

The leader had a burly body and was bald with a scar on his left cheek. His face and body language told him he was doing all this. Seeing him, he felt he couldn't do it, he couldn't beat him.

Then somehow, he did. He escaped from the beating. He reached over to the leader by surprise and strangled him. But he forgot about the rest of the gang in pure rage. And he was beaten to death.

In some trashy alley, all alone. No one to save a nameless person who can't contribute anything to society.

***

So, seeing the darkness, he knew he had to be alone again.

Then suddenly, a light flashed.

He instinctively closed his eyes; when he opened them again, he saw an old man.

The old man has a long white beard and short white hair. He could hardly open his eyes.

And that old man was smiling at him.

Leon wanted to ask where he was, but no words came out of his mouth.

Just came."Aba aba."

Hearing him talk like this, the old man smiled. Then the old man pointed his finger at him and began wiggling it. He reached his hand to touch it. He did grab hold of his finger, but he was barely able to fully grasp it.

He knew from that moment that he was going to start a new life.

Meanwhile deep in a blank space, a voice sounded that was hard to identify it's gender.

"Child, you have finally come."

"In this world, you can do what you want now, and be prepared for the catastrophe that is about to come."

"Be strong."

"Also, I have left a little gift for you."
