1 The Boy Who only sought peace Pt.1

Bang!

Bang!

Cannons are being exchanged between a bandit battleship and a nation.

"They sure are persistent," one of the elite bandits said.

"Make sure to take every single one of those bandits down. Keep firing!" the soldiers in unison.

The bandits begin panicking, exclaiming, "Boss, We're outnumbered!"

"At this rate, we won't be able to do anything without our fleet."

A man with black hair and, blue edges dressed in a black shirt and, a black coat walks up to the two bandits and shoots them down.

The rest of the bandits are stunned as they see their comrades' bodies dropping to the floor.

"Anyone that just showed signs of weakness right now should cut their tongues." The bandit with the blue edges said.

The bandits shudder as they watch their captain walk towards the side of the ship.

"So this is how it's going to be, Keith...No, Judas."

Judas puffs out a smoke and says, "Die, damn heroes."

Judas creates a tornado in the middle of the sea and leaps for the soldiers.

The story of how I got here goes way back. It all started in Japan, My Mom was a prostitute and was always insulted by the other students for it.

"Oh, look who it is. It's the son of a whore," the first bully hissed at Uta.

"What do you want, Katsuki?" inquired Uta.

"Don't be like that. I think you know exactly what we want, Uta." Katsuki said.

"I'm sorry but I don't have it with me today," replied Uta.

"Huh? You're not going to meet our demands, Uta? Haven't you noticed that you haven't been getting any bruises for the past weeks?" Katsuki taunted.

"I'm sorry, but can you let me off for today?" Uta pleaded with the bullies.

"That won't do. Ninsei, teach our boy here a lesson," Katsuki said, a sinister smile emerging on his face.

Ninsei blows the smoke from his cigarette and, puts it out using Uta's forehead and punches Uta to the ground.

He then picks Uta up and proceeds to connect multiple knees to the guts, forcing Uta to drop to the floor, his bully placing his foot on his head, and stepping on him seconds after.

After blowing some smoke, Katsuki inquired, "By the way, I did forget to send you the tape of Itsuki and I doing it..."

Katsuki grabs Uta by his hair and slightly lifts him.

"I'm going to send you that tape since that's the only way you get to see her," Katsuki said.

Katsuki spits on his face and drops him to the floor and he and the gang walk away while chuckling. A Teacher comes running in Uta's direction and sees Uta knocked down on the floor.

"Hey Uta! Are you okay?! What happened?!" The Teacher asked a knocked down Uta.

"Ms. Ichi..."

As Uta could not speak, the Teacher picked Uta and walked him to the Infirmary.

The Kid getting bullied right now was me in my life in Japan, Takahashi Uta. I was in my Third Year at Appledell High School. Just like I said, I was bullied because my mom was a prostitute.

My Mom has even slept with my bullies and teachers and I was mocked because of it. But that did not affect her at all. In fact, she discarded me and left with another man.

My Best Friend Itsuki or should I say former best friend started dating my bully and even made me watch her get raped. Why are these things only happening to me?

In the School Infirmary, Uta is seated on the infirmary bed and has his wound treated.

"I did treat your wounds but you should rest for a while. You were seriously wounded." The Teacher said.

"Ms. Ichinose, Why are all these things happening to me? Why is the world so cruel to me?" Uta asked.

"That's just the system of the world, It's nothing we can do and just follow. Those with power tend to pick on the weak since the weak cannot fight back. You just happened to be the system's next victim." Ichinose said.

"Damn it."

"I'll leave you in the Infirmary until you recover. You're free to leave whenever you like." Ichinose said.

"..."

As Ichinose is about to leave, She stops and asks Uta, "And Uta, If you happened to possess the power of a politician, Yakuza, or King, What would you do with it?"

"What type of question is that?"

"Just curious. Later."

Ichinose walks out of the Infirmary leaving Uta confused.

Days like this continued until Ms. Ichinose herself decided to discard me. I was all on my own and the bullying worsened.

One day, Completely oblivious to the gang war warning since I did not possess a television. I received a telephone call from Itsuki saying she wanted to meet up and apologize...but little did I know it was a trap.

BANG!

BANG!

I was caught in the crossfire and death's door finally opened before me. Boy, am I stupid? Moments before my death, I began to lament...

"Damn it...am I really going to go out like this? All I wanted was a peaceful life, to be loved like everyone else, and laugh like everyone else. To hell with this, In the end, I could get back at Itsuki. Damn it, If only I was given a chance...I would've changed the Circumstances."

A Light flashes before Uta and in a flash he sees a man in a white robe smiling at him.

And When I thought I died, My eyes reopened and I reincarnated in another world different from my own. Now my story begins.

In the Holy Calendar 947, In a village Cliffwolf in a country called Astaven situated in the Southern Sea. That is where I was born.

A Young boy with energy runs around the village with a big smile on his face. One of the Villagers calls out to him.

"Hey Keith, Can you help me with this?" The Villager asked.

"Sure thing."

Keith Ammizabad, That's the name I've been given in this new world. It's been Seven years I've been here making Seven years of age.

"Your boy really is a hardworking kid isn't he." One of the villagers said.

"I say too hardworking, I don't want him hurting himself," Edward said.

"He really does take after his father. Make sure you don't get hurt, Keith." Parul said.

"Jeez, You're embarrassing me," Keith said.

These two are my parents in my new world. Edward Saunders, he's my father and a farmer in this village. Parul Ammizabad, She's my mother and a schoolteacher.

"So Keith, Why do you keep working hard?" One of the villagers asked.

"My Dream is to become the King of the Heroes. I'm trying out heroic acts so I may qualify for it." Keith said.

"King of the Heroes? There's no way." The Villager said.

"There's no way people like us can achieve something that big." The other villager said.

"I'll do it and prove you all wrong," Keith said.

"Yeah, Keep dreaming." The Villager said.

"Hey!"

All the Villagers begin to chuckle.

The Days were so peaceful, It felt like this was the peace I sought. I wished days like this went on, but boy was instantly proven wrong.

Different types of Automobiles arrive at the village. Security walks out of the other Automobile and opens the main Automobile and an old lady in royal clothing walks out of the Automobile.

The Guards open for her an umbrella and she walks towards the Cliffwolf Villagers.

"Good day, My Name is Geirrid Adilsdottir. Queen of the Kingdom of Halfdan."

"I am Suraj Bhaavik, Village Chief of Cliffwolf Village. So what business does a big nation such as yourself have with a small village like ours?"

"Astaven has recently fallen under the control of Halfdan and we're turning this village into a military base for the Halfdan soldiers. So we'll be clearing everything." Geirrid said.

The Villagers began to rebel.

"Huh? Who do you think you are?!"

"You have no right to take our things!"

"I am Queen and I do what I want. I don't have to listen to what a commoner has to say. Do it."

Geirrid's guard began to burn every single house down.

"Why are you doing this?" Suraj asked.

"A Request from the King of this nation. This place will be a perfect military base, we'll have no need for Commoners."

"And that's why you're burning down our homes?" Suraj asked.

"Commoners do not deserve happiness. Kill all children so these insects do not spread."

"No way..."

"Wait." Edward steps up to them.

"And who do you be?" Geirrid asked.

"Isn't that the Former Admiral of the Ziredien Kingdom, Edward Saunders." One of the Guards said.

"I thought he died during the Extermination War." The other soldier said.

"Former Admiral, What do you want right now? I'm busy." Geirrid asked.

"You can take and burn everything away but can't you at least spare the kids?" Edward asked.

"We can't. To prevent Insects from spreading, we have to eradicate them." Geirrid said.

"What can I do to make sure you don't kill them?" Edward asked.

"Well, I have been looking for a young husband who can succeed my throne. If you can become my husband then I'll consider sparing the kids."

"But she's old enough to be my kid's grandmother. She looks even older than my mom." One of the Villagers said.

"If it means saving the kids then I do not mind," Edward said.

Edward walks towards Geirrid and Parul silently calls to him,

"Honey..."

"Don't you get it, I don't have to stay in this shit of a place any longer. I always hated it but I just couldn't say anything." Edward said.

"Ho-- Edward."

"Parul, you're the one I hate the most. I never loved you and your bed skills are terrible. I'm glad I'm leaving." Edward said.

"How could you Edward?! After we accepted you Seven years ago with open arms." Suraj said.

"I just had to pretend, I really hated this place."

Edward leaves the village with Geirrid, leaving Keith and the others shocked.

And with that, The Peace I thought I finally gained was shattered in an instant.
