Begin Again (Pt3)

A Middle aged man sat watching what seemed to be a flame within, upon close and careful inspection, was Dhamon's last moments. "ah... he reminds me so much of myself... shame he had to die like this... hmm I might just give him a little help."

The middle aged man waved his hands and a young man appeared in front of him, this young man was non other than Dhamon who upon opening his eyes was startled but calm.

"you have questions" The middle aged man took a sip from a cup of wine that mysteriously appeared.

"yes" Dhamon watched intently, feeling that under no circumstance should he provoke this man in front of him.

"I'll explain. You have died, I retrieved your soul and brought it here so that I could inform you that I'm going to give you... a second chance at life... now your wondering why... simply enough you are very similar to me in my mortal days thus I'm inclined to help you albeit in a different way. I'm going to reincarnate you in a different world. now should you ascend to godhood is up to you, just be warned that my girlfriend just so happens to be the god in charge of monitoring that world."

"Who are you?" Dhamon asked after mulling through this new information while many thoughts and feelings rushed through his head

"I am... compared to you I would be similar to god, however I'm not the original divine being who was in charge of your earth, I'm merely the stand in from what you could call the underworld, I'm just here to demonstrate my peoples promise of peace."

"I see... so you said that I'm being reincarnated and a divine being... might I inquire as to where I'm being sent?"

"To the land of beasts and assassins, Demoness's and emperor's, the Realm of Akame Ga Kill"

"wait... your sending me into an anime world!?!"

"yes and to help with your journey I'll be giving you a few things which you can consider as a means of gaining momentous strength"

"hmm thank you... what is your name?"

"My name... I am known by many names... however I am most commonly referred to as Devil King Satan, and no Devils aren't necessarily evil, unless you count acting from our hearts as evil."

"I don't... Satan huh... well then... I am in your debt but cannot repay your kindness"

"nonsense, I'll be imprinting a message for my Girlfriend on your soul so if you want to repay me gain her attention, she hasn't been answering my calls ever since I came back from killing off a few pests."

"alright... I'll do what I can."

"Good boy... now then close your eyes and count to ten... oh and one more thing... you're gonna loose all memory of your past so you can pick a new name for yourself before you leave."

"I shall be called... Zero."

"wonderful choice, alright Zero good luck!"

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!"

The cry of an infant rings out throughout the village, then another... two sons... one who was as human as can be, the other... born with strange Draconic scales covering his chest and bright red eyes that gave off a fiery feeling.

"My sons... you shall be Tatsumi kind and compassionate yet clear headed when required, and you... Zero, you shall be the strong one who seems cold hearted and indifferent, however you will be the smart and caring one who will hold up the weight of this cruel world... I wish happiness and peace is what lasts throughout your lives" a Young woman, says gently to the infants being held by the village Chief before falling asleep

================================

8 years later

"Hey Zero we're gonna start training now come on" a young boy with Brown hair and deep brown eyes urged Zero to hurry up and go to training with him

"Tatsumi go tell the old man I'm helping mother with the Firewood today"

"come on Zero I can't train if you're not watching" Tatsumi wined trying to persuade his Rock of a brother.

"You know you'll just end up on your ass again... I'll come to training if there's time for it OK?" Zero scratched his head in annoyance he had grown a head of spiky black hair with red tips, his eyes still a burning red blaze and what seemed to be ink Black scales on his chest and stomach forming some kind of scale armor that allowed for him to withstand taking a few hits.

"OK, you win I'll tell him your helping mother"

"Good now get going or you'll never catch up to me."

"yeah yeah... cya" Tatsumi raced off into the forest outside to meet up with their teacher, an experienced and skilled swordsman who could also skillfully craft and teach blacksmithing among a few other things.

"that knucklehead." Zero got up and grabbed the old axe in the corner of his small wooden bedroom that barely held him and Tatsumi's belongings and beds, the tax increases were resulting in poorer conditions causing Zero to put a pause on his training to help out around the village, however it was on this day that Zero and Tatsumi's lives would be changed... For better or worse.
