1 Prologue

James Heart, with his raven-black hair and typical Asian features, blended into the bustling street, his appearance veering towards the average spectrum. However, what drew the attention of onlookers was the fact that he was being spirited away by his two adorable twin step-sisters, sporting blond hair and ruby-red eyes reminiscent of Yue from Arifureta.

In the labyrinth of the present moment, James, a fifteen-year-old with a pure bloodline, found himself at the center of an unexpected family dynamic. His father's recent marriage had brought him a step-mother who treated him with unexpected warmth, making James feel a sense of belonging. The family was completed by two cute little sisters, Lily and Luna, both ten years old and as enchanting as their names suggest.

The trio found themselves on a path to an encounter that would alter the course of their lives. Lily, teasingly, insisted on introducing James to her friend, while Luna, blushing with shyness, added her endorsement. James, however, sensed an impending danger, his instincts tingling with unease. He discreetly armed himself with a keypad phone and a chako weapon, acknowledging the unpredictability of the world he inhabited.

As they approached their destination, marked by towering reinforced walls, James' instincts went from a subtle warning to a full-blown alert. Adrenaline surged as he swiftly moved Lily and Luna to safety behind the trees. A burst of gunfire shattered the air, leaving James wounded but determined. He carried the girls to cover and instructed them to call for their father's help.

Tears welled in Lily and Luna's eyes as James reassured them, displaying a courage that belied his fear. Sprinting away from his hiding spot, he shouted for help, pain from his injuries becoming increasingly unbearable.

The assailants, a group of five menacing figures, had more in their arsenal than mere thuggery. Armed with powerful weapons, they posed a threat beyond the ordinary. Adding to the complexity, one of them carried a sack—a sinister clue to the potential involvement of Lily and Luna's kidnapped friend.

With determination burning in his eyes, James concocted a plan to confront the imminent danger. He threw a stone, a calculated move to disorient the group and give himself an advantage. As the stone landed and the criminals cautiously approached, their banter revealed a sinister plan.

The leader, discerning James' capabilities, urged his cohorts to regroup. James, hidden among the foliage, seized the opportunity to strike. Like a tiger stalking its prey, he incapacitated one of the thugs with his chako, drawing the attention of the others.

The situation escalated as the criminals attempted a hasty escape, the police closing in. The scum boss, desperate and cornered, threatened harm to the kidnapped child. As they slipped away, James, undeterred, made a bold move to trail them, armed and ready to rescue the captive.

In the tension-laden atmosphere, police sirens wailed, creating a cacophony of chaos. The scum boss, resorting to a last-ditch effort, aimed his gun at the sack, coercing the police into a powerless standstill.

Amidst the stand-off, a shadow emerged – James, armed and determined, closing in on the criminals. As they made their escape, unaware of the impending threat, some police officers noticed the brave teenager. Silent anticipation hung in the air as they readied themselves for the right moment to intervene.

The narrative reached a crescendo as James sprinted towards the escaping criminals, setting the stage for a clash between a lone hero and the forces of darkness.
