Before the Slaughter

(Present)

"Hahaha, yes, you all deserved death, every single one of you," Shimi says, while his head is flooded with memories of his fellow villagers' dying faces, he is killing them while smiling.

He finally got the chance to kill them all. He lived a shitty life until about an hour or two ago when an evil mage suddenly exposed himself in the village. He was known worldwide, and his name was Hex. An evil mage who slaughtered numerous clans and villages, he even killed his own family.

And Shimi's clan was unique in its eyes. They had clear blue eyes called the Divine Eyes and red eyes called Demon Eyes. But this boy had both red and blue eyes. Hex and his group came for one reason: to wipe out this dangerous clan, so Hex went in there undercover using transformation magic about one week ago.

"Wow, this village is unique." It will be worth wiping out, and I might even take some of their eyes, haha. "He laughs with an evil smile in his room.

But something was off. He noticed that one boy sleeps in a tight alley with no covers and is bullied by all the villagers, even the adults, but they never want to banish him.

(The Next Day)

"Hey, do you know why that boy is being bullied or why he has no home?" "He, oh, that boy is a monster with both eyes from each side of the village," a villager says, trembling in fear. Hex responds to the villagers. "That's interesting, so he has both eyes, huh?"

The next day, Hex approached the boy, and the fellow villagers were in shock, but Hex was not scared at all, and he asked the boy, "Do you want to kill these people or remain a little kid who has no power?"

The boy turns and looks at Hex, who is named Hori in the village. The boy looks at Hex and replies, "I want them all to die, every single one of them a painful death by me." The villagers look at the boy in fear and tremble. "OK, let's wipe out this clan, and you join me." "My real name is Hex, and I am the world's most evil mage." I came here to kill this clan, but I'm intrigued by you."

Shimi excitedly and evilly utters, "Sure, I'll join you." Let us wipe this clan off the earth before that, though. "

Hex calls his group, who have been on standby for the whole week waiting for his orders, and they quickly get behind their liege and await the following words that come out of his mouth. Hex utters, "Get this boy a robe and give him a sword." "He is going to help us slaughter this dangerous clan."

The group laughs, "Hahaha, this boy is going to help us." "How could he help us, my lord?" "You dare to question me?" Hex exclaims angrily, a menacing glare on his face, "No, no, that's not it." "I'm curious how this kid can help you, my lord." "Look at his eyes." Hex utters, still enraged.

The group instantly trembles at the mere sight of these eyes. "I see my lord, he is special," one of the members says. Hex, still glaring at his group, says, "Boy, what's your name?" Shimi responds right away, saying "Shimi sir."

"I shall be your new teacher and guardian." "So let's wipe this scum into hell," Hex says. "Ok, Master, what are your orders?" Shimi exclaims with glee. Hex responds to Shimi's saying, "Only go after the people your age and one year above."

"Now let the slaughter fest begin," Hex says with an evil smile.
