So instead of stealing money, he decides to make money himself. he needs a job and the money so he starts hunting for jobs, but many jobs later, most jobs decline because of his criminal record and low reputation, seeing this how hard it is for a criminal to get a job is rather tiring and stressful when luck began to run out, and barely giving up he finally got a job after walking and running and searching for jobs one by one, and he realized he was in another city, he found a job in osaka as a janitor, it has a decent salary and working condition are not the greatest but he has no other choice but to accept which he gladly did, well little did he knew that osaka where fulfill of sighting of yokais and monsters that why not alot of people like him wants to work as a janitor or worker near the residence, but he dont give a dam because all he cares about is a place to stay and sleep, he began the basics as a janitor he tidies up the place, check the heaters, cleanse the streets and sweep the debris he did this until the place looks clean.

After returning the owner will tell him that the previous workers and janitors went missing and not a lot of people want to work here, luckily he found him, but he warns him about yokai because they were held responsible for the damage in this city, however, the government will pay 1,000,000 yen for anyone who killed the yokai beast and bring back its head for full reward.

Upon hearing this, he decided to hunt for it because 1,000,000 yen is a lot of money and it would pay his debt, so after work, he started to look for the yokai only getting people to think that he is hunting for people's homes, and goes to places where the yokai was usually sighted, he decided to give up for tomorrow, because relentless finding a yokai was a difficult task, but only managing the yokai to find him, he doesn't want to clean up the mess this monster make.

So while arriving he saw large debris and mass destruction knowing it wasn't there before he pick them up like nothing and move the debris and clean the large destruction the owner was astonished at his strength because it take literally teams of government official national cleaning teams to cleanse it, as an appreciation too gift him a phone for taking care of the streets and not just the shop as because it at his job late and telling the owner situation and kindly acknowledges it, but he told him he isn't the only one searching the monsters the Excorsists were looking for it too.

After thanking the owner for the phone and he never had one before so he starts using it for personal use, the owner told him that there is a sequence that alerts the government if the yokai appear but he find it no use anyways after thanking him and saying goodbye after the night shift.

He walks on the lonely road, and he thought to himself that he got a place to stay and money, but something was missing a piece of him he realized he was lonely, all of that just makes him empty, and his emotions just grew distances as he was getting used to this emotion, but he kept searching for thoughts that is making him lose a piece of himself and thought to himself, my family... A friend. To celebrate with and cherish and love, on his own he walked the lonely road, he doesn't always walk on the road alone but together with loved ones, his dad would always prepare his favorite meal and his strict mother always told him to do his work instead of playing games, and his brother playing games got him attached with his emotion, he just thinks to himself if his family was here, still here to hold hands together and smile and eat together, but seems like it doesn't go by that route and lost his humanity and himself.

Is he truly a monster for giving up?.. He's pretty tired and as arriving at his apartment he came across a phone number that is familiarly strange when he answers the phone it told him it got minutes to live, really pissed off and not in the mood of responding hang it up only finding it absurd, and it has rung the second the third time, he was annoyed and decided to call the fourth call he answered and started ranting the fuck on the phone, but only get an eerie answer telling him that he is behind him he turns but only face to face a large palm which smacks him with immeasurable strength that destroyed the surrounding building only violently spinning him around and then managing to stop by countering the spin with his body.

he was confused about what happened on what just happened, but that thought would cut off when he felt nothing in his hand, the phone, the phone where is it? He saw a broken phone, and a yokai, looking at the broken phone he was really pissed and not in the mood of not giving a fuck then he gave the yokai the eye that send shivers to the yokai then teleport in front of Yokai view.

It was so fast the slap already touched the Yokai's face, in fact so fast that the sheer speed gave a melting palm on the Yokai's face, which is burning in flaming speed like a burning signature, HE SHOUTED KJ'S BURNING SIGNATURE!!! he gave the yokai the hardest the strongest slap that ever existed, and added more momentum by forcing his legs and giving energy and distributing it to the opposite leg then released it with so much power that launching the yokai blew holes into the skyscraper and clouds of unknown energy shocks the remaining residue, sparks of it electrocutes the ground to the sky like a dangerous storm that slowly disappearing, and parting the road.

Focusing on the devastation he realized he did too much for just a broken phone because what he was seeing was rather more expensive cost, Realizing what he had done he decided to leave the area, hoping for no witnesses, little did he know there were witnesses in that time, only leaving witnesses of two students, and attracting a powerful enemy the yokai queen.
