Enter Ray

The wind roared while carrying the chill. It pierced through Ray as he walked in the dark. He clenched the clothes with his right hand, trying to hug himself. He sighed.

His other hand carried a bag made of plastic. Inside the bag were fresh apples, a bottle of water and bread. It was his dinner.

A cold dinner for him. He walked toward his home. It was a nice apartment, No, it was more than just a nice apartment. It was a very good apartment compared to his current situation.

He stopped for a brief moment and looked up at the sky. There was no cloud in the sky but there was no moonlight either. A few stars twinkled in the dark. He was happy despite the harsh cold.

He smiled. He thought about his first life. There were few happy memories he remembered. He was starting to forget that life.

It had been 15 years since he came into this world. He was an orphan in his first life, this life was no different either. At first, he thought, this world was normal. His living condition was good with the orphanage. And with his high intelligence, he thought he could live a very comfortable life.

That light was shattered when he saw creepy things. It all started at the age of 6. At first, he thought he was hallucinating.

But he knew that ghosts were just curses. And he realized that he was in the world of jujutsu sorcerers.

From that moment, he trained his body. And slowly he managed to control cursed energy. He didn't know why he could control cursed energy but he had a theory.

He had experienced death. Negative emotion.

He sighed again, forming a faint mist. He walked again. He was coming from his job.

It was nothing special. He stole money using lesser curses.

As his thoughts drifted into numerous thoughts, he stopped. He dropped the plastic bag and turned around. He sensed something negative in the air.

He took a fighting stance he learned from the dojo. It didn't enhance his fighting skills. But from that stance, he can move freely. It was the best part for him.

He had fought curses occasionally. Once a month, a bolder curse jumped like this in the middle of the night.

Ray looked around, trying to find humans. Seeing empty streets, he sighed in relief. He had not learned how to put a curtain. And he didn't know where to start.

Finding jujutsu high was harder than he expected. He can cause a scene but it is not his style to declare his presence to the dangerous world.

' Another one. This mouth had to be my worst mouth. ' He cursed at the world. He had been attacking almost every day. Mostly weak curses but they were annoying.

" Mommy... Mommy... Mommy. " A creepy voice filled with sorrow came from the dark. He was now in the dark street, it was slightly larger than the alleyway.

Building around him made shadows that blocked him from seeing cleanly. It came in front of him so he knew his enemy was ahead.

He slowly backed to the light. The light came from the streetlight house. A footstep could be heard. It slowly walked toward him.

Finally, it stepped into the light. Ray's face was covered in sweat despite being on a cold night.

' Shit, I hit the jackpot. What kind of cursed energy was that? '

A curse made of flesh, he didn't see what it was wearing due to the very long hair touching the ground. It stepped the hair as it walked toward his direction.

He noticed the curse was carrying a small rugged doll. It was small, probably a child curse.

'Ah. ' He groaned inwardly, 'That kind of curse is hard to deal with. '

The children were emotional. During his daily life, he saw children releasing more cursed energy into the environment than adults. Although every adult is the same, they have a bit of control over their emotions.

" Mommy? " It stopped and looked up.

The hair moved, revealing all the glory to Ray. Eyes were packed in the face. There was no nose or mouth.

So where did the sound come from?

From the throat, a long tongue emerged, revealing many sharp teeth as well. It moved.

Every eye was focused on Ray with intense emotions. Ray felt a sudden burst of cursed energy from the curse.

He was sweating furiously. ' That thing is probably grade 1. But from the look of it, it had intelligence. '

Was Ray scared of the curse?

Maybe because he knew that he would suffer great pain fighting it. As for the fear of dying, it had never occurred in this life.

He had lived a long life. Although he knew that he had a shitty life in the previous one, this life made it up for him. It was fun being able to walk free. Without worrying about losing your life to an unknown bullet.

That didn't mean he was willingly trying to give up his life. He will fight for it. He will fight for his life.

" Daddy.? " The curse spoke with its long tongue moving up and down. Silva dropped to the ground. The curse lifted its hands. The month on the throat formed a curved smile.

"Lift me. " It demanded.

Ray was dumbfounded. But he quickly composed himself. ' Should I do as what it says? ' he asked to himself.

He took a full glance at the curse and felt disgusted.

" Lift me!" The sound grew louder with anger. Ray frowned. He knew he was facing overwhelming odds but somehow he felt happy.

Closing his eyes, he gathered cursed energy into his fists. His eyes opened, and a wave of cursed energy erupted from his body.

It was not as calm as before, right now it was raging.

He smiled, " No, kid. And I think nobody will give you a piggyback. You are just too ugly. "

The curse dropped the doll.

I am starting this fanfic because I found interest in jujutsu kaisen power system.

You can suggest anything in the comments.

I am having a little difficult understanding the whole power system. It was simple but I know it was messy as well. If you know about this and want to share, I appreciate your help.
