1 Vincent Glaze

Opening his eyes... 

Vincent recalled something that he will never forget.

He's currently laid down on top of a roof. Upon opening his eyes, he saw a massive, wide, and gigantic tall Walls.

Vincent's eyes were bored as he gazed upon the wall. Sitting up on the roof of the house he is currently living at, feeling comfortable in the process as he stretches his arms.

He's not from this world. When he found out that he was in another world, he was first outstanded and disbelief by what he saw. 

Because he thought that this world he lives in; based on the buildings, dressings, and hierarchy. This world is in the Medieval Era or some sort of low civilization world and it's impossible to build such a massive, wide, and gigantic tall wall that stretched so far as the eye could see.

But, as past by, he thought of something like in his previous world, that there's some mystery, abandoned building with a ghost, legendary artifacts, or anything that can never be solved by science. 

And like this wall in front of him. It's one of the mysteries this world has, that they will never find out or solve the mystery behind it. 

But the more he knew, the more confused he was, as this world never dwelled deep into that topic. Humans are curious animals. The more mystery behind it, the more they will want to know it. 

"Vincent! You're there again. Get down here now. It's time to eat breakfast!" 

The door of the house he's currently staying at, opened. As a Brown Hair Girl exited the house and yelled at him.

"Ok! I will now go, Marie" 

Vincent said that and yawned, Stretching his limbs as he jumped down to the protruding piece of wood on the side, successfully landing his feet. And jump again towards the ground.

"Hai~ Vincent, like I said before, it's dangerous up there on the roof. Don't climb up again and your way of going down is dangerous. What if the wood gave up, and you would fall and if it does happen, you will be seriously injured. And what if--" 

Marie, the Brown Hair Girl that exited the house. Scold and nag Vincent, telling him the possibility and many "what ifs" scenarios that could happen. 

"Ok! Ok! I promise I will not do it again, Sister Marie. I'm hungry, let's go and eat." 

Vincent said that, half-heartedly. And then proceeded to walk and entered the house.

"You always said that but, Hai~" 

Marie shook her head and sigh. She then followed Vincent and entered the house.

… .

Entering the House.

Vincent then saw an old, but clean looking house. He then looked towards the Dining Table and saw 6 children seated and ready to eat. 

Vincent then proceeded to walk towards them. The 6 Children that seated on the Dining Table noticed him as they exclaimed and walked towards him excitedly. 

"Look! Look! It's Brother Vincent"

"Ah! It is!" 

"Neh! Neh! Brother Vincent! Tell us more stories!"

..

..

The 6 children bug Vincent and hurry him to tell them a story.

"I will! I will! But first, you kids need to eat your food, and finish it without any leftovers, got it?" 

Vincent said that as the 6 children agreed readily.

"Yes! Yes!" 

"We will do that! Brother Vincent!" 

"No food will be left in my bowl!"

..

..

All 6 children made a promise, as he nodded and said, "Ok, look here's the food."

Pointing his hand towards Marie, who was preparing the food.

"Children, here comes the food."

Marie, one by one filled all the plates of the 6 children with some food, including Vincent as he was only 9 years old, practically a kid. 

They pray before they eat. 

Marie and the 6 children prayed, as Vincent just looked at them, not doing what they did.

"In the name of the Royal Family, The King, and the Three Walls. Thank you for keeping us safe and protected from the Titans and..."

Sister Marie and the 6 children prayed sincerely before eating. And thank the Walls for protecting them from the Titans. 

Hearing Titans from their prayers, and even thanking the walls from protecting them. Vincent heard from the town people that Titans are Devil or Demons that eat Humans for food, but Vincent has never seen one before, due to the Titans roaming outside the Wall.

It is said that roaming and going outside the walls are forbidden, but there's one exception to that.

And it is being a soldier and joining the "Survey Corps". 

… .

"It's time to eat," 

Marie said that as she ended the prayer. As they began to eat the food. 

The 6 children, like any other kid, eat their food without restraints, making the dining table dirty. 

"Hoy! The 6 of you! Don't eat too fast. Eat your food slowly!" 

Vincent scolded the 6 children as he saw them spilling the food on the dining table.

The 6 children then started to calm down and ate their food slowly, fearing that Vincent might not tell them stories if they would not obey him.

Marie looks at this scene exasperated and said.

"Vincent, You're only 9 years old, and yet they follow you. I'm 19, 10 years older than you, but they didn't listen to me at all" 

"Haha! Maybe I'm too handsome, and they can't resist, but follow what I'd said"

Vincent said that with a laugh, as all the 6 children burst out laughing and said to Sister Marie.

"Sister Marie! Brother Vincent is right! Haha"

"Sister Marie! Vincent tells different stories every time, and not you who can't tell one story."

… 

..

..

Vincent then shook his head and said.

"Hey! The 6 of you! Don't bully Sister Marie like that!" 

The 6 children then calm down and continue eating. Vincent then looked towards Marie and said,

"Sister Marie. Is Grandpa Neil's health ok?" 

"... Grandpa Neil's health is getting worse day by day. I will go towards the doctor of the town named Dr. Jaeger. They said that he's skilled and once saved the town from a plague, and saved many people from death. Hopefully, he can cure Grandpa Neil's sickness." 

'Grandpa Neil'

He called himself that. Grandpa Neil is the one that adopted Marie at the young age of 15. and him at the young age of 5, and the latter adopted more children leading him on founding this orphanage who had a total of 8 adopted children including Vincent and Marie.

Vincent had a lot of respect for that man. He gave him food to eat, clothes to wear, he will definitely repay him in the best he can. But Grandpa Neil's body is getting weaker day by day and even he knew how skilled a doctor is or that Dr. Jaeger was.

He can't give or cure someone who's in the later stage of their lives, even in his previous world, it was impossible. 

A modern world with advanced equipment can't, and it's impossible to cure old age and at the least they can do is to make them live a little longer.

… .

As all of them were now done eating, he and the 6 children started cleaning the table as Sister Marie got a bowl of food and said to Vincent.

"Accompany the kids. I will go and feed Grandpa Neil some food, and hopefully, he gets a little better." 

"Ok!" 

"Then, I will go now"

Vincent looked towards 6 children and said.

"Now that all of you have eaten full and cleaned the table. Go sit down there, and I will tell you all a story…" 

The 6 children were excited as they scrambled together and hurried to sit down, as one of them said.

"Neh! Neh! Brother Vincent, is it another new story or more story about a boy named Peter Pan?" 

"Huh! I want more about Peter Pan! He's handsome and can fly. I want to know how to fly too!" 

"Me too!" 

..

..

All the 5 boys agree but one little girl has a different opinion and says.

"But, I want to know more about Snow White!" 

Vincent smiled then looked down towards the little girl and said.

"Later Lisa, I will tell you about Snow White when we're alone. But first I will tell more stories about Peter Pan, Ok?" 

"Umu, ok! Brother Vincent!" The little girl nodded her head cutely, as Vincent patted her head and began to tell more about Peter Pan.

"So… Peter Pan flies up in the sky, towards the clouds and picks a fight with Santa Claus who did evil deeds, like dropping bombs at houses and…"

Vincent then proceeded to tell more stories, after he was done with Peter Pan.

In his previous life. Vincent loves children, and even though he's a feared and famous Killer, Hitman, or Assassin, whatever you called him.

But with all that fame and glory, his downfall was clear as his enemy knew and found out about his love for children and decided to use it against him.
