1 Chapter 1 Why?

*Schreeeeeeeeeeeeeeech* as Shin stood there with a dead expression watching the train stop "Why is reality so cruel" he couldn't help but mutter as he said that. While people where born with a golden spoon in there mouth he was born with with absolutely nothing. Shin was a premature birth because sadly his mother was a heavy drug attic especially when she was pregnant with him. Due to this he had numerous health problems and his mother was too concerned with the new drug happy to care and one day abandoned him infront of a garbage dump at 4 months old.

Shin then went on to live in a orphanage where he got the nickname 'Burden' by his fellow orphans due to all his medical bills. "Useless, ever since you came to this orphanage you soak up all of our funds like a sponge. At least a sponge can clean all you can do is breath and mope around with that hollow look of yours" the head caregiver said in disgust while taking a puff of her cigarette.

"Yes ma'am" Shin said with a dead expression. Shin suffers from schizoid personality disorder, and incase your wondering it means you don't tend to show emotions and are very dismissive of other.

The head caregiver looked at him with a angry expression. This child is so ungrateful after all the money she has to sacrifice for this child when she could use it to better herself and intern better the orphanage. "Alright role up your sleeve for your daily punishment " she said in a hostile tone. Shin understood and rolled up his sleeve and as he rolled his sleeve up you could see all the burn marks on his arm. She placed the cigarette on his arm and rubbed it profusely. He winced a little but was starting to get used to it more and more everyday.

She chuckled "You know if it wasn't for your daily punishment I would think your not human" she said while forming a smile. "Go on if you don't hurry up you'll be late for school" she said while shoving him out of her office.

"Bitch" he muttered silently under his breath so that only he could hear.

Growing up Shin noticed he was different not in a good way though. He couldn't run because of his asemia and he had to be careful because he was hurt easily. The children in the orphanage thought he was weird and didn't interact with him because of his sickly look. Shin was very skinny with pale skin, Black hair, and red eyes. Everyone nicknamed him burden because whenever the children asked for something that the head caregiver didn't want she would blame Shin saying how much of a burden he was on the orphanage.

As Shin walked out of the head caregivers office and headed for the door a group of kids around his age walked up to him with a blond haired kid with blue eyes leading the pact "Hey burden when we get on the bus don't talk to use we don't want to be seen with a useless loser like you" the child said in a arrogant tone.

"I understand Johnny" he nodded with a expressionless face.

"Tsk you better or else you'll pay" he said as he brushed passed them along with the other orphans. Shin walked out of the door and headed onto the buss. When he walked onto the bus everyone glanced at him but payed him no mind because there was nothing significant about him. He walked and suddenly fell and when he looked up he saw Johnny was smirking at him.

"Eww whos that" a girl said who was sitting behind Johnny said.

"Trash" Johnny said while looking at him with distain. Then more people started looking at him with curious looks.

"Why are his eyes red my mom says only demons have read eyes" a boy said with a bit of disgust.

"Gross why is his skin so white" another girl said.

"Hey why is he so thin" a boy said while laughing.

As he was being berated with rude insults one after the other. He picked himself up and headed to the back of the bus where there was a open seat. All the children were avoiding trying to distance, touch, or even look at him like he was infected with a disease.

Shin finally reached the very back of the bus and while everyone went back to their friendly conversations. Shin could only look and mutter "Why" under his breath as a hint of sadness was shown in his cold expressionless eyes but only for a second.

Over the Years Shin decided to focus on his brain. If he couldn't do anything remotely physical with his body he decided to spend his time in the local library where he would study constantly to try and better himself. Shin was shown to be exceptional at school and his teacher praised his genius and they would say how they need to be more like him and whenever they did shin would be beaten black and blue, and his head caregiver would only get enraged when she found out complaining how he only thought of himself. Over the years of isolation he stumbled across manga and he loved it. He thought how it was fascinating how those weak people who didn't have a dime to there name like Shin could rise up and face the challenge and defeat the villain. He thought maybe he could be a hero and one day a opportunity showed itself.

"Hey loser what do you have hear" A bully said with a evil grin.

"Its my lunch money please give it back" a girl said with a helpless look on her face.

Everyone around seemed to ignore it because this sight was a common occurrence around the class. Shin was studying his notes when he say this. He was going to ignore like he always did but then he stopped and said to himself.

'No I'm not just gonna sit here and do nothing I'm going to stand up' he thought to himself while closing his notebook. He stood up and walked over to the bully. "Hey give her back her lunch money that money rightfully belongs to her and what your doing is conserved a crime and is against school regulations" he said with a hint of emotion in his tone.

The bully looked at him and confusion and said "Hey mind your business demon this has nothing to do with you don't worry your turn will be next and stand over there until I'm done" he said with arrogance clear in his tone.

Shin looked him right in the eyes "No" he said standing his ground. The bully looked at him with a bewildered expression. He looked at the demon in front of him and didn't know what to say, he never went against him and when ever he bullied him for something he always complained easily. "No" the bully said with a confusion and anger mixed into to it. "And what are you going to do about it" he said with a spike of anger.

"I'm going to report you to the teacher and have her deal with your punishment" he said with a firm voice. Right as he finished his face was meant with the bullies fist. The bully was fuming i the fact that someone went against his words as he sent a kick right to his gut. As he did he let out a gasp and it felt all the air in his body escaped with that kick. The bully kept kicking him until he started to calm down. Some kids looked but didn't really spare another glance when they saw who was getting beat up. The bully finally stopped when he was done taking his rage on the battered up kid below him.

"Let this be a lesson demon the next time you try to go against me" he said while spitting on his face and he turned around and walked away. Shin looked up bruised all around his body with a black eye and was relieved that he finally left her alone and as he looked to his right he was met with a sight that shocked him. She looked at him with a disgusted look and he was confused he didn't understand he thought he helped her, he thought she wanted help, he thought she was like him an outcast in this lonely world, and as his mind was racing she spoke.

"UGH great now everyone going to think I'm friends with a loser!" she said with an angry tone clenching her first "You worthless trash why don't you stay in the trash can where you belong!" she said with rage. That was the last thing he say when she suddenly kicked him face and he blacked out.

He woke up in the nurses office with some poorly wrapped bandages wrapped around him. The nurse walked in and say that he woke up "Shin right your pretty beaten up, next time try to avoid getting into a fight your really fragile, and your lucky you didn't suffer any broken bones you have some bruised on your chest and a black eye but you should be fine in a couple of weeks." she said but Shin wasn't listening because the only thing he could mutter was one word "Why".

From that day on Shin realized there is not such thing as hero's and villains there are only people. People with a set of ideas and opinions that are labeled good and bad and only the victors and powerful people throughout history decided what was good and what was bad because in society the people who win battles are the people who right history and the people who lose are forgotten through the ages. This was when he gave up trying to be a hero and infact he didn't believed in hero's and villains anymore. Shin came to the realization that as long as your powerful rules don't matter.

This didn't stop him from watching anime and reading manga infact it pushed him farther into its clutch's. Shin stopped caring about anyone and decided to delve further into his studies if he wanted to survive he had to rely on the one thing that he had and that was his brain. Shins work payed off and was valid victorian of his class and placed on the honor roll for basically anything related to his studies. He was accepted on a full ride to a top tier college in the nation. For once in his life his hard work and dedication payed off. He saved up enough many to after he was thrown out of the orphanage and moved into the cheapest apartment he could find it was in a pretty run down neighborhood but it was all he could afford. Shin got a job as a dishwasher and was payed crumbs but it didn't matter because he knew society was cruel and if you had nothing you had to work your way up and he did. Shin worked everyday and in his off time he would study. He didn't have time for friends and when he didn't have time he would read manga.

Present

As Shin got onto the train he was thinking about his studies and applying to a internship his professor recommended he already had a little money saved up and had enough expenses to do the internship while he took a break from working but it pained him because he couldn't buy any manga while he was doing the internship but his struggle will pay off and benefit him in the future. As he was walking back home after a late night of studying at the campus library he cut across the alley way to get to his apartment complex but he was stopped.

"Hey kid give everything you have on you, Don't make this harder than it has to be" the thug said with a anxious expression and the gun was shaking in his hand.

"Is this your first time?" he said with his eyebrow raised with a dead look in his eyes obviously not scared in the slightest.

"Scared SCARED I'm not scared at all now give me your money" he said with adding more anger in his voice.

"Anxious" he said with his expression not swaying in the slightest.

"SHUT UP AND GIVE ME YOUR MONEY" the thug said know seething with rage and he walked forward in a anger manner

"I don't have any money" he said keeping calm.

"SHUT UP" he said as he got closer and closer now an arms length away. He pointed the gun at Shins head "Listen before I put a bullet in your head" he said realizing he got carried away and was making a ruckus. "Now handover everything you have on you before I make this bullet kiss your brain" he said now calming down a little.

"Kiss I don't swing that way but if you insist" he said reaching for his wallet he didn't have any cash on him and he would just cancel his credit card before he could make any charges. He was a little annoyed because his library card was in his wallet and those are a pain to get replaced.

"YOU!" the thug couldn't stand this arrogant brat anymore as he let shouted at the top of his lungs and after he did he heard a voice come around the corner.

"Honey did you hear that it sound like someone is screaming in that ally way" Mob #1 said

"Your right lets see what going on maybe someone needs help" Mob #2 said

The thug started getting anxious and reached for Shins hand he knew he had to be fast or else things would get complicated. Shin on the other hand did not see this coming and turned his head at the noise behind him and stopped the motion of his hand. The thug reached and grabbed his wrist and was meet with a little resistance. Panicking he reached for his wallet while Shin turned his head to face the robber and then *BANG* the sound resounded throughout the night and Shin heard this sound that made his ears ring and looked at the robber who was running with his wallet.

"Oh my god that was the sound of the gun lets get out of her!" Mob #2 said with a worried tone.

"Honey wait for me!" Mob #1 said with a anxious sound.

Shin just stood there until his shirt turned from white to a crimson red as he fell to the ground holding his stomach. All he could think about is why "WHY!" he said his face showing emotion for the first time in what felt like decades. He was in udder disbelief and blood was pouring out of his body. "I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, I PLAYED BY THE RULES, I UNDERTOOD MY PLACE IN THIS CRUEL WORLD SO WHY!" he said with tears running down his face. Shin hadn't shown tears when people laughed at him, beat him, abused him, took advantage of him, and simply acted like he didn't exist but when he was faced with the end of what seemed like a never ending hill he thought if he tried hard enough he would be able to climb to the top maybe his dark never ending life would show a light maybe even a spark but he was met with what seemed to be a face slap from reality herself. "FUCK I LIMPED, I CRAWLED, I DRAGGED MY SORRY ASS THORUGH THE FUCKING MUD, AND I DIDN'T COMPLAIN ONCE WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS TORTURE EXIENCED CALLED LIFE!" Shin said seething in rage. All those emotions he casted aside to better himself, the emotions that he thought would only burden him through his life finally started to bubble up and unleashed like a tsunami." WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT MY BLOOD, MY SWEAT, MY TEARS YOU CAN HAVE THEM ALL JUST LET ME WIN FOR ONCE GIVE ME A CHANCE!" he said screaming at the top of his lungs as blood started to gush out even faster he knew he would die he could already taste the metallic taste in his mouth that seemed like a old friend that was about to say goodbye one last time. He though of only one thing he wanted. Revenge.

Throughout his whole life he took everything that was thrown at him because deep down he wanted only one thing that always seemed elusive and that was revenge." I WANT REVENGE, REVENGE FOR THAT BITCH FROM THE ORPHANGE ALL THOSE KIDS THAT LAUGHED AT ME, EVERYONE THAT ONLY LOOKED AT ME WITH DISGUST, I JUST WANT TO SHOW THEM THEY WERE WRONG I WANTED TO BE PETTY, I WANTED TO BE ARROGANT, I WANTED TO FLAUNT AROUND MY STATUS KNOWING THEY COULDNT TOUCH ME, I DIDNT WANT TO PLAY BY THE RULES FUUUUUUUUCK." he screamed out with what seemed like the last of his breath. "What a fool I was but if I ever get another chance I'll stand at the stop and nothing will stop me ill do anything to achieve my goals" he said with a chuckle and a fierce light passed through his eyes as the last of his strength escaped his body.

Unbeknownst to him someone heard his call and was intrigued. Chains wrapped around her body spikes impaled throughout everywhere in her body as a woman was seen in what seemed like a abandoned jail cell. "ha" she let out in a raspy voice as his it sounded like she hasn't drank water in years. A woman who hasn't moved in centuries looked up with a wicked smile. The woman that was seen with a evil grin was the Greek god of revenge known as Nemesis. "HAHAHAHAHA" she let out laughter in a psychotic way. "GOOD FINALLY SOMEONE" she said.

Nemesis was the Greek god of revenge unjustly chained by the gods who sought to escape her divine punishment so they could do whatever they. Nemesis always challenged the gods for there wrong doings and held them accountable for there crimes. However the gods never liked her especially Zeus who though of mortals as play things. The more people seeked revenge the stronger her divine punishment became eventually reaching the point where she could really punish gods not just punish the arrogant mortals. Zeus started to see this and became worried she might take the seat that rightfully belonged to him so him called a secrets meeting of the gods. He preached how Nemesis was abusing her power on the gods in a attempt to grab power. Zeus coxed his wife Hera saying she was after her spot as queen, told Hades she wanted the right to judge all souls, and preached to Poseidon how she will punish him for his act against a pure maiden who was a priest of one of there fellow gods.

They all bit the bait and like all people in power no one wants it taken away so they set up a trap saying they were going meet with her to discuss her viewpoint. However Nemesis finally thought the Gods were going to listen to her so they would be truly be gods who can be idolized by there many worshippers.....how naïve she was. They ambushed her and imprisoned her with divine chains made by Hephaestus and life draining spikes made from the agony of Sisyphus. She wasn't expecting this and was trapped pain and disbelief on her face as she looked at her fellow gods. All of them nodded as the mission was accomplished they knew that they could not kill her because when a god kills another god a sort of beacon is released and all gods will rush to the location to understand the threat. They knew they could not kill her so they decided to seal her and all she could do in the moment look at them.

"Why" she muttered in disbelief. She was shocked they would do this to her.

"Why" Zeus said in a arrogant tone "Because we are gods we do as we please what and what gives the lowly goddess like you the right to judge us" he said in disgust.

"Do you think you can take what's mine" Hera said not even paying her a glance.

"Who are you to judge us or anyone of that matter your a nobody" Hades said with clear disintrest now looking at her.

"We are mighty gods and if we want something we take it why should we be bound just because a mortal or someone beneath us says its wrong." Poseidon said with his chin held high.

"BECAUSE ITS WRONG" she said in a fury.

They all looked at her like she was a fool and said in unison "So".

As they were about to leave Zeus looks back at her and says words she would never forget. "I'm a king and a king bows to none especially ants like you" and as his words fell he left her in a dark cell. Emotions swirling around her head like a endless hurricane.

"I JUST WANTED TO HELP" she screamed but none heard her. "I JUST WANTED PEOPLE TO LIVE IN THIS CRUEL WORLD" she said while tears streamed down her face. "WHAT DID I DO TO DESREVE THIS, I PLAYED BY THE RULES, I UNDERSTOOD MY PLACE IN THIS WORLD SO WHY" she screamed in agony but none listening. "why" she said looking down dejected. "What a fool I was" she chuckled bitterly and so time passed, seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, centuries, her shock turned into denial, then into anger as she cursed those arrogant gods, then bargaining as she thought someone would save her, then depression because she knew none would come for her, then she tested her surroundings seeing if there was anyway to escape any hole to squeeze out, and finally acceptance she accepted her cruel fate and she looked down and smiled and a single tear fell from her eye the last she would muster up in that dark cruel jail cell. After a while she stopped keeping track of time, she stopped planning her revenge, and she gave up on hope. Until she heard his cry, for the first time since she was locked up he heard his cry for revenge from this cruel world and she smiled. Nemesis knew she would never escape her cruel prison so she did what Zeus could never thought she would do because as a god they are arrogant however they will never through away there life if they knew they could live. With the last of her strength she burned her divinity, life force, and finally the most precious thing in a gods existence her soul.

*BOOOOOOM* a sound burst throughout the heavens and earth that just the core itself. All Gods looked toward the beacon because a rare thing has occurred that hasn't happened in tens of thousands of years a god truly died. All the gods in Olympus rushed to the site of the occurrence and were feeling a lot of different emotions as they looked a makeshift cell. Zeus rushed because he never expected Nemesis to do the unthinkable and all the gods currently in Olympus were shocked as they looked at Zeus they knew it was him they looked at him for answers but none would ever think a god would commit suicide but seeing the divine chains and the life draining spikes the only thing the gods could say, the only thing they could think, and the only thing that came out.

"What did you do"
