New life...but only for me!

Leon was depressed beyond words, he had not been depressed since he was little even when his life had started on the wrong foot.

He had not been depressed by growing up in a modestly dysfunctional family where his parents did not pay much attention to him because they were arguing all day, they used to be the type of people who were more focused on their own lives than on giving him some attention and attend to the child's needs properly.

He had not been depressed when developing a withdrawn and silent character, because of this he used to be the object of ridicule by his classmates in elementary school, nor when he had been the object of bullying and aggression after the divorce of his parents, Or like when, when he counterattacked his bullies with a little excessive violence and he had had to attend the psychologist for 3 months.

He had not been depressed when he had failed the university exam that he wanted to go and where he could get a scholarship and in the end, he had to go to a technical school to learn a trade.

He had also not been depressed by failed relationships or the heavy loads at work where they confused his silence with submission.

But his current situation made him depressed.

"It's not like I care much about my appearance or anything, but this… sigh…, who would say that I would die in such a pathetic way… and end up coming back to life in such a bizarre way."

Leon's voice did not correspond to that of a young man like he used to be, but it was a fragile, fine, and subtle voice that was undeniable belonging to someone of the opposite sex to Leon, a girl.

Not only that but the image that was reflected in the mirror was precisely that, a girl, 1.7m tall, a slim body with few curves, a small chest, and a still-young face, this was the current image of Lion.

she had long hair down to her waist that even covered her face, some acne marks were visible among her dark hair that covered her face, her eyes were large, sharp, and with a deep black shimmering like jade that stared at the reflection in the mirror.

"Sigh, should I be glad of at least not having to go back to work in that shitty place and the fact that I can live even longer? Or discouraged to have to experience everything again and now in the body of this girl "

Leon's gaze was discouraged and he was tired to be alarmed by what happened, remembering that before occupying the body of the girl he had died under a mountain of files in a small warehouse of his company, he shook his head and smiled forcibly.

"Forget it, tomorrow will be another new day, it's good to be able to experience eating and drinking like any other living person"

Leon felt a roar in her stomach at the thought of food and went to check the kitchen without noticing a deep shadow expanding under her feet that followed her passively wherever she went.

...

Tokyo, Mura District, Sakura Kingdom, May 2010

In the largest and most densely populated city in the world, lights shone over every corner where people walked mitigating the night and spreading the brilliance and vitality of human civilization, but here where the light shone brighter than anywhere else, in this same place, there were also the deepest shadows that could exist.

shadows born from unexpected and unpredictable places that could surprise the greatest experts in these.

Also unlike the world that Leon came from, BluOrb World had a slight difference, what here was called the "anomalies", these "anomalies" were a reality and not just scary tales!.

Ghosts, Gods, and demons were not that far from the sight of mortals and the interaction between the mortal world and others was much closer and deadly than on Earth.

The geography, as well as history and general development of the world, was in many points similar to those of the Earth, so Leon had not noticed much of a difference in this world at first, but it was something that he would end up realizing as soon as he interacted with his surroundings because while she slept peacefully with a full stomach, life between the light and darkness passed without her and other citizens knowing about it.

"shit! Don't let it get away, we can't let a level 2 "polluted" roam free in the city, if an accident happens, Yoshida won't let me go with a simple scolding! "

A grave voice resounded in an alley that led to an abandoned industrial warehouse, the intercom in his hand glowed in the darkness of the night, giving a green glow to the man who spoke on this radio, a cold female voice answered him with an angry tone.

"Is it that you are already in decline? Why is it that you leave this type of work to me, since I began to work with you, I barely have seen you take care of your work, your bones will end up losing their strength if you continue like this. "

"Haha, Konami-chan always being this cute, don't worry about my bones, my body always has extra strength if you want to see me in action, you know what I mean? haha, besides, we only have 3 months working together, you're still in training so you must exercise more and adapt to fieldwork, it is more difficult to direct this type of "polluted" to a point of purification than to combat it!"

The man said with a mischievous smile on his face as he caught his breath and looked at the holes in his suit, with a sigh he took out an electronic device and a cigarette.

"Snort, that's work sexual harassment, be careful or I'll report you to Commander Yoshida, plus a level 2 polluted is not an easy thing to deal with, and if is that I'm still in training, you need move your butt here and make sure I do not end up as a rag of meat on the pavement" The woman's voice sounded again on the intercom.

the man throws his cigarette to the ground, walking towards the wall, and jumping onto the grounds of the industrial building jumping over a wall with a height of over 3 meters with ease.

"I'm just taking a break to be able to fight better Konami-chan, seriously that your young people of today behave too seriously, if you have not learned from me to take things at easy in these 3 months then that speaks badly of me, that makes me sad."

The man sighed regretfully but the girl didn't seem the least bit moved by the words of her partner.

"Could you take things seriously for a moment, at least ... forget it, the polluted is here ..."

The girl's voice was interrupted and for a moment it was possible to hear the hit of metal parts and bullets from the intercom, the man heard it from outside the industrial warehouse and quickly lowered his knee to the ground, reciting something unintelligible in his lips as a murmur and two fingers descending from his forehead to the ground, an illusory sphere extended towards the industrial warehouse, covering it with an opaque purple mist.

"Ugh, really, the new generations do not understand the complications of middle-aged people like me, always in such a hurry to solve what lies ahead, sigh, they are like runaway horses"

The man sighed again as he cleaned his knee and reached into his jacket, adjusting his sunglasses that were inconsistent at night, and pulled out a .40 caliber pistol.

Unlike the inhuman shrieks and gunshots that echoed in the industrial warehouse, outside of the purple sphere, no noise originating from this place could be perceived, as if it were a placid neighborhood.

which was even more strange, it was that the surrounding people ignored the purple sphere as if it did not exist or they could not see it.

While the other people continued with their daily lives, a young woman of about 24-25 years of age fought against a strange creature of humanoid form, the woman was armed with a katana wielded by 2 hands meanwhile she moved agilely beyond what a normal human would do, but the cuts from her weapon were of little lethality to the bizarre enemy in front of her.

Her opponent was repulsive to look at, its shape was humanoid but with a height of more than 2 meters in height, a purulent substance gushed out of its body from the wounds inflicted by having some bones growing out of its body and disarticulated joints.

the creature's jaw was sapped from his skull and hung aberrantly up to his collar bone, fierce teeth sprouted from his mouth without leaving space and the skin on his body looked like battered leather.

Even though the appearance of this creature was repulsive and impractical, his strength and agility were great, not only that but his attacks were fierce and lethal, as a wound from a "polluted" individual was no small thing for a human.

"Tsk, where is Gohuro-san, I won't be able to resist more than half a minute against this polluted level 2, give me cover while I try to cut off his legs!"

The woman yelled at the fireteam who were at the top of the building, they had harnesses on their waists ready to flee at any moment, their lives were not cheap enough to die for lack of preparation.

Without responding, the men of the fireteam shot rhythmically at the level 2 "polluted" while, Konami-chan caught her breath for 1 second while she watched as the "polluted" defended his body which only shook from the impacts of the bullets and let out a furious scream, black and purulent blood gushed from his body with each bullet and the damage inflicted was minimal.

"Exterminating a polluted of this level with purely physical weapons is difficult, I suppose I will have to deal with him by other means" Konami muttered to herself as she watched the polluted screech and wave his only arm furiously.

"Now"

Konami launched the attack lowering her balance point and taking 2 steps forward, she cut the legs of the polluted, the contaminated had already lost an arm under the chase and now he would lose 2 legs, it was the first time that she fought a contaminated level 2 but she knew well that it would not die that easily and this creature would continue in its frenzy of destruction unless it received a massive attack from some type of anomalous force.

As soon as Konami left the place the polluted scream with more fury than ever, not being able to scream as much as it wanted because the teeth and fangs that sprung from its mouth prevented him, he became even angrier, and without warning his mouth exploded throwing his teeth and fangs like splinters and echoing as they hit the walls and pillars of the building.

Konami was covered behind a wall and in a far enough distance so she did not receive any damage, but one of the men at the top of the building had received a splinter in his chest.

"Quick take off your vest!"

"Agh! Damn!!, this... this can't be undone!"

"hurry up! The more contact you have with a polluted object, the more impact it will have!"

The man was desperate for this but there was not much he could do, because ordinary people when having contact with some polluted object would receive a spiritual attack and it would affect them to a lesser or greater extent.

"Help him while I take care of the enemy! Damn! I didn't think I would have to use my anomaly"

Konami's face was even colder and her aura changed, her murderous aura was palpable and those of the fire team stopped for a second when they felt the threat, even the man who was being affected by the splinter calmed down and managed to find the straps that secured his stab-proof vest.

Gohuro entered the moment that Konami attacked the polluted, Konami released the anomaly power and in a blink of an eye, she had already managed to fit her sword into the nape of the contaminated while turning the hilt destroying the soft tissues inside the skull.

"Terrible to witness as always, Konami-chan is not cute when she lets out the S side of her"

Gohuro threw the cigarette butt and walking quickly shot the contaminated one in the back, destroying his chest, while with the other hand he held Konami, who looked at him coldly without saying a word and directed her murderous intent towards him.

"Hehe, don't look at me like that Konami-chan, I'm not the type of man you're looking for, a family between you and me couldn't work, although I'm not entirely against a more casual relationship, hehe."

Gohuro said with a mischievous smile but Konami didn't respond or even paid attention to Gohuro.

"Sigh, a shame that when you enter your S mode you cannot understand my subtle approach, regarding this polluted, it seems that you are already able to contend with it, although if I do not intervene you will end up making a mess of this site"

Gohuro looked at the body of the polluted while he changed the magazine, the black and purulent blood that flowed slowly disintegrated from where Konami had cut and in the parts where the bullets had hit, Gohuro had no intention of touching it so he left the place with Konami under his arm as if it were a small animal.

"I'm lucky that at least you don't get violent with me anymore Konami-chan, I call that an improvement in our relationship."

Gohuro nodded to the men of the fireteam that were tending to the one affected by the bone splinters as he went to undo the purple sphere that surrounded the place.

Moments later, several black vans entered the place and people in black suits greeted Gohuro who got into one of these vehicles without paying much attention to these men.

Gohuro lit another cigarette as he gazed at the glittering city that contrasted with the encounter that the now sleeping Konami and the fire team men had just had.

His gaze was serious and solemn, only a phrase escaped from his mouth as he looked at the dark night that was contaminated with the lights of an entire metropolis.

"So beautiful and so fragile"

...

The night passed for all the same, but many were unaware of the dangers that existed in it and of those who risked without receiving a name.

silent sacrifices in the dark, at the same time the night was the refuge of dark creatures that looked with envy the lives of mortals, only a fragile veil separated these 2 worlds of well being prosperity and evil cruel desolation.
