Stairway to Heaven (Part 1)

5 years ago. Tondo, Manila

Johan Jovanni, who goes by JoJo was an elementary student back then. He has no idea of what he's to be in the future and what abilities he possesses. The only thing he knew is that, since he was a kid, he is seeing a ghost that keeps on following him. But, that specific ghost is not bad at all, truth be told, it is always protecting him from danger. He doesn't know yet what that "ghost" can really do.

"JoJo! Will you up for me, please? I need a hand in our grocery, it is too heavy for me to lift alone." his mom calls for him.

JoJo, who was in deep sleep, was shocked by the call of his mother and bumped his head on the roof of his small room.

Due to their lack of funds and just by living in a gutter, JoJo never really had a luxurious life yet, he never wished for one.

As soon as he bumped his head on the roof, his head starts to bleed. It hurts, and it frustrates him because he can't yell from the pain. Their money is just fit for a day's worth of living and he doesn't want his mom to be on another debt from someone he doesn't even know. He endured the pain and then suddenly, the bleeding stopped and the pain was all gone.

It was all made possible because of the ghost who always protect him, but he is still not sure of it at that time.

Just when he was an elementary student, JoJo was as tall as a high schooler should be. This must be caused by foreign blood mixed in him. He was curious of it that's why as soon as he finished helping his mother, he asked the same question as he did last night and the nights before that, "Who is my father? Where did he come from? Why is it I am almost different in all aspects with my classmates?"

With that question being asked, his mother will always look at him and smile. She doesn't say a single word yet, JoJo already knew what it meant.

"It's a secret."

JoJo, sho lived without knowing a single thing about his father, just sat quietly and proceed with starts eating his breakfast.

Present

Five years ago, he woke up and bumped his head on the roof, which caused his head to bleed. Today, he woke up and bumped his head on the roof and a nail made his head bleed. It happened five years ago yet, the result is always the same. It will bleed for a minute and it'll be gone as nothing happened. He lived for the past five years repeating this scenario almost every day.

Then, a knocked came from their door. He hurriedly came to attend to it so that it won't bother his mother.

"Another collector, huh?" JoJo uttered to himself.

He was expecting another debt collector came early in the morning to ask for payment but as he opened the door, three men whom he never saw before and a beautiful woman appeared before him.

"What can I help you with?" JoJo asked them.

"We are looking for a man named Johan Jovanni. Others called him JoJo." the beautiful girl answered.

As he was about to say that he is the man they were looking for, he sensed danger as he saw another ghost appeared before him.

'A ghost? Do they have one? This is bad, and I don't want to get myself tied with these people. They look like they have a strong connection and it will be the end for us if we get ourselves into more trouble. I should not cause any more trouble for my mom.' that's what JoJo thought to himself after seeing another person's ghost.

'Help me to get out of here, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!'

After having those thoughts to himself, a ghost with white aura showed itself. The ghost itself has the complexity of a normal man's build and it is as if it was JoJo himself in the form of a ghost. Without batting an eye, all of them collapsed without lifting a single finger and they were out cold. It was way too fast for them to see as if it can move in light of speed. That is the ghost that always protects JoJo, his stand, Stairway to Heaven.
