Have you ever wondered what is beyond life and death? What happens to you after you die, after your last moment? Many scientists, experts in the subject can give different theories such as that you stop existing, you stop feeling, your soul moves to a third plane where you find the peace that in earthly life can not give you.

But in this case it was different, perhaps the work of fate, perhaps because of karma, or by some force greater than us, the simple humans who live day to day we can not understand a power greater than ours. This was the case of Arthur. A boy without parents who got ahead with a dream of getting out of poverty where he currently lived. For many it was a simple dream. But no. Life is cruel and you will always stumble when you least expect it. Throughout his childhood he had to work to get a simple food to cover his most basic needs such as feeding.

Life is not always the color of roses. In the 21st century earth in most of the planet there is poverty. There are even orphans where parents abandon their children or suffer an accident that charges for their lives leaving the poor child to his fate, unable to do anything. Maybe someone else can take care of the child, but with our young Arthur in his childhood ... he lost everything.

Human greed is rooted in the hearts of all humans, in the family's case of the child, knowing that his parents died in a cruel accident, opted to leave him to his fate, stealing all the fortune, real estate, everything that one day they had that happy family.

Life was cruel for the child Arthur, he lost his parents to a young age of four years, and being innocent, the relatives "closest" to him, left him to his fate in a house where their words were 'we will leave you In a house where there are many children where you can make friends then we will go back to look for you little one. '

The innocence of the young person when thinking of those relatives who took care of him. he gladly accepted with a smile on his face. A pure smile from a four-year-old boy.

Unfortunately, that smile disappeared over the days, weeks that passed and there were no signs of his relatives returning with him. With no other option, he asked an older woman who took care of the children. That young lady of appearance of about 30 years, where she radiated a maternal aura, together with a soft smile always on her face.

The young man satisfied his genuine curiosity, arming himself with courage, with a soft smile he asked her because his relatives did not return to look for him. The young woman froze for a moment because of what she had just heard (... his relatives?) Thinking that she had listened badly asked the child again what he had said before. Getting the same question.

The woman felt a lump in her throat as she remembered those people who left the child in this place. How not to do it? If they were happy ... as if they had done a good deed. So she asked the child if those people were really his relatives.

The young man without thinking responded telling her they were relatives of his parents who died in an accident so they took care of him a couple of days and then get to where he is currently. When she saw his pure face full of curiosity, she felt the knot in her throat slowly unravel to release tears of rage, impotence and above all sorrow. So she hugged him tightly. He did not understand why that young woman so good cried, perhaps he did something wrong, he wondered mentally.

So he asked if he did something wrong, only to receive a denial from her and told the truth to the child that was around her arms.

- "They ... They left Arthur ... they left you here forever."

For the first time in his life the young man thought more than he should think about his young life, yes. The child was intelligent despite being pure and possessing curiosity about the world around him understood what she was referring to. 'his own family who someday swore to take care of and watch over he. They abandoned him.'

For the first time in his life he felt that something inside him broke ...

And for the first time in his life, he wept inconsolably without being able to do anything.

Throughout the years, his childhood was not as he planned, as he had to mature prematurely, get a part-time job, to pay for his expenses that the orphanage could not spend until he had an age where he could take care of himself. At a young age of 10 years. Who in their right mind can let a poor little creature go to travel a dangerous world where famine, poverty, crime is stalking his back?

Unfortunately, the orphanage after a few years with the pain of their soul let him go, since he was "big" and they could not continue caring for him. He could go along with that young woman who filled the boy's broken heart. But he decided not, since according to him he did not want to cause problems and he thought that some family could adopt him. 6 long years had that illusion of being able to be adopted with a family, but nobody came for him.

And so he lived as far as he could get a room in a building where he could call it "home". He entered a good high school where he managed to be one of the first places, achieving a scholarship for academic excellence for his achievements. That was one of the many goals he set himself and achieved at a young age. Maybe for other families it was not the "biggest" thing. But for him, it was something worth celebrating.

But even so, his life was not as he wanted, he felt that his life did not make any sense, he never fell in love. Love? Would love manage to feed his mouth? So he did not find that "love" necessary. In high school he was nevertheless crowned "The King" by all the girls. Was there any reason for king and not a prince or some other name in particular? yes he had ... it was his appearance.

A young man between six feet, with messy blond hair that gave him a "wild" appearance according to the girls, without forgetting those green eyes that one could lose by staring at them. With a physical texture what one could call a swimmer. In short, the young man had worked muscles but not like a bodybuilder, they were perfectly molded in him.

Therefore, throughout his three years of high school he was nicknamed as the King by his appearance to an Anime character created from Type-moon. Ironically right? Also, the boy's name was Arthur. And he is the copy in the human world of the King of kings. From the great Arthur Pendragon.

The students, the professors, even the people who walked the streets straight to the high school always watched Arthur's face. A look that always contained a soft smile to the outside, while a majestic aura surrounded him. Many people thought he was royalty, how could he not be with that appearance?! They concluded. Unfortunately, no one knew about his family or his life. The girls did not confess their feelings to him, since according to their own words 'he feels so close, but at the same time so far away'. And of course, his fan club he owned would not let any girl get close. Interestingly, He also did not know that he owned a fan club that looked after him in the shadows Maybe he was a little clueless?... Yeah A little.

But behind that 'soft smile' that always adorned his face. There was a chaos of feelings, of doubts but above all he was bored with his life. Of everything that surrounded him, he felt that his life had no meaning, despite having a simple dream of finishing his studies, getting a job, climbing to become president, manager or shareholder of a large company ... but he always felt that every time his vision turned gray, there were no colors. Only an opaque gray. Faith in humanity? he lost that many years ago when he discovered the truth behind his abandonment in the orphanage.

Perhaps his monotonous day would have been the same if he had not heard some shots while going to the supermarket to buy his monthly purchases. Where he saw five armed criminals shoot in the air, while another shot into the bank. Seeing the chaos that was happening in front of him, he does not know the reason, but his body moved until it was next to a family. They were terrified, especially the little girl who accompanied them. Maybe that happy family went to the bank to withdraw money for a family day, but they found that raw scene.

Arthur always knew the dark side of all people, greed, crime, he lived it in his own flesh in his past. Therefore, it was not surprising that other people occupied the force to achieve their mission. Regardless if they hurt people who crossed their goal.

Maybe it was a work of destiny, or rather a joke. But a thief when seeing a family that watched them from afar as their companions shot to different places he thought:

- (and why not, anyway, if this does not work we'll go to jail for a couple of years and be released. At this moment I want to destroy that happy family.)-

Arthur to see that strange brightness in the eyes of the thief he thinks something. To then open his eyes tightly as he watches as how the thief slowly pointed towards the family that was at his side. He froze when he saw the action of that scum. When he felt the sound of the shot, he was with wide eyes; he did not think about anything. After a few seconds a strong pain in his chest woke him up from his senses, and he saw that in his chest where his high school jacket was, there was a hole of small size, not compliant, he also checked under his jacket. Seeing his white shirt that had also been traversed he was in shock. To finally see how his shirt began slowly to be dyed a crimson red. his own blood.

Yes. He had placed himself in front of the family to defend their from that human scum.

Nobody expected him to sacrifice his own life against an unknown family. If he came to live from this, the reporters, or the policemen who would surely ask him the 'why did you do it', the most sure thing he would answer would be ...

-'My legs moved by themselves ... '
