First Training; Fitness.Not Yet Edited.

In a dimly lit room; a young man could be seen doing push-ups, sweating profoundly... With an exhausted look on his face.

"To be the Lord of pleasure, you need well-defined muscles," said a male, sitting by the side.

"Yes sir!" yelled Liam, increasing his pace.

"That's a good boy, Big Mom was right... You have a strong will" said the male, taking what seemed to be cigarettes.

'This bastard... Smoking while training me' thought Liam, gritting his teeth.

'If not for my need of strength.....' he thought, looking sideways.

*Bam*

*Bam*

"First rule... Don't lose focus" said the male, using what seemed to be a belt, to hit Liam.

"Ahhhh! Fuck!" Liam shouted; still doing the pushup and enduring the pain.

___________________________________________

It has been like this for the past few days... Doing push-ups, getting beaten for losing focus.

Tried contacting Big Mom, but to no avail; though I don't mind... I expected naughty training; but I got this, which I'm happy about.

"Keep it up, and you'll be able to go for long rounds," said the male, motivating me to push harder.

Got an idea of his... Long rounds meaning, but don't want to think of it.

"How old are you?" asked the male, looking at me, with scrutinizing eyes.

Yup, that's right; I don't even know my new body age, not like I can even know it.

"Don't know" I said, keeping my answer short and simple. Look into my rule of avoiding attention.

"Ohh, now I remember, you lost your memory!" he said as if coming to a sudden realization.

"There's a device, that can tell someone's age," he said, giving me the... Are you interested, look.

I felt like stopping, so he can tell me all about this device... But I knew better than that.

This wicked trainer, with his tool used to flog me... I would rather ignore my age than get beaten.

"Don't worry kid, I don't hate you or anything... Just want you to be strong" he said, puffing smoke from his mouth. Smoking, and telling a kid you are good; is a very ironic attitude and word to use.

"I will take you outing; what do you say?" he said, standing right beside me... Tying the belt around his arm.

"I'm in!" I said, getting up; now I don't care anymore, no way I'm missing this... He always does this, when we are done training, which means; it's over.

"Good boy," he said, ruffling my hair; don't know if I'm now a dog, not as it matters... As far as I get to go on an outing.

Forgot to say this, but this guy seems to be a shadow. I can't see any part of his body, just... Darkness.

"*Ahem* I know my situation is strange... But please don't look at me, that way!" he said in a somewhat shy tone. Don't know why is acting this way... And why his body is black, though the shadow has a muscular physique... It smells fishy.

Time to go... In detective mode, I must find out the secret behind his shadowy body. I Liam, the future lord of the Kosmos World... will... seek... the truth.

*I believe he's talking too much... So I will take it from here*

Deciding to look into his trainer mystery, Liam finally found something worth taking care of.

Walking on the streets of Red Light City, was Liam and his trainer, they seemed to be having real fun.

'Wow, this guy is the real deal... Though he has a dark secret, he still knows how to enjoy life' thought Liam, biting down on a big piece of meat.

In the world of Kosmos, each race has its specific diet. Since the Red light district, was mostly inhabited by human-like creatures, they had no issues with eating animals and monsters.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself?" said the trainer, in an autonomous tone. Ever sinve he started training Liam, he had not taken his disguise off.

'It seems they are scared of me, hiding their faces and voice... But they should not be scared, I will come for them one by one' thought Liam, dreaming of the future where he can deal with his haters.

Arriving at a building, which looked like a stadium from its exterior surrounding... Liam could not help but gasp at the sight of the massive structure.

"Hmmmph, shocked over this... I wonder what you'll do, if you see inside," said the trainer in a mocking tone.

'This bastard, he won't understand anyway... I've to enjoy this moment' thought Liam, rushing into the building.

On reaching the entrance, he was stopped by two uniformed men, they seemed to be the entrance guards, and their faces looked... Dangerous.

"You can't enter without permission!" said one of the guards, taking his weapon toward Liam's throat.

"M_master!" yelled Liam, not daring to move even an inch... Like the fearful kid, he was.

'I'm not scared, just following my rule, of... avoiding attention' he thought, performing a beauty stance, in his mind. As brave as always.

Walking toward the guard post, was his trainer... Still looking shadowy. But from the look in the guard's eyes, anyone could tell that they feared him.

"Lord Ra...!" the guard shouted, almost saying the last word... But.

*Pah!*

*Pah!*

"Ahhhhhh! My Lord" shouted the guards, falling straight, with their cheeks all bruised and swollen.

"First offense; talking down on the 'Pleasure Emperor'.

Second offense; trying to call out my name.

How many times, have I warned you guys not to call my name when I'm in my shadow form!" yelled the trainer, pointing his finger, toward the guards.

'It seems his name holds some secret too' thought Liam, observing the confrontation.

Due to the commotion, a lot of people gathered around the scene, whispering among themselves.

"Lord Raymond" shouted a feminine voice from the crowd, rushing toward the scene.

*Gasp*

With shocked expressions, everyone looked toward the scene... Not the running female... Toward the trainer aka Raymond.

Because right now, instead of the shadowy and authoritative figure which everyone feared, someone else was they... A big-belly man, with fat all over his body. Unlike big Mom, who was like a giant... He was just plain fat.

Dropping his meat stick to the ground, Liam could not help but faint... training under a fit man, so you can become fit is not bad... But training under a fat man, to become fit... Is a disaster.

'If despite all the techniques and skills you showed me, you are still so big... Then what have I been doing since?' thought Liam sobbing.

"Hey kid, don't feel down... This is why I didn't want to show you my true self" said Raymond in a downcast tone.

"Everyone thinks the same. Because I'm huge, they see me as nothing" he said with tears gathering in his eyes.

"I know you feel the same way," he said, turning back to leave.

_________________________

Maybe I'm a fool. Judging people by their appearance, I was not that attractive in my former life, and I always felt down because of it.

Then why should I look down on others? Is it because I have a better appearance now? No!

I will never be arrogant, in life; always learn to love people for whatever they are... Right now, all I know is that his training skills are Legit, and I want to be trained under him.

"No! I don't feel that way... I love your training, and I want to continue being your student!" I said shouting out loud, so everyone could learn to follow that example.

"Yes he's right my lord!" yelled one of the guards, getting up from the ground.

"He's right!"

"He's right!"

"He's right!"

"He's right!"

Not wasting time, everyone in that vicinity joined me, protesting against stigmatism.

Rushing toward me; he hugged me tight, almost squeezing my insides, out of me.

Mmmh, I would appreciate it if he would let me go, please end this; I thought looking upwards.

"Okay kid, let's go for your age check," he said in a joyful tone, carrying me inside the building.

Entering what seemed to be an elevator, we were taken to the... I don't know the level.

Coming out of the elevator, we walked towards a room, from the door I could tell it was an important room. On entering it, I could see about four individuals dressed in scientific clothing.

"*Mmmh* Raymond," said a feminine voice behind us, it sounded similar to the one downstairs... Now when I think of it, what made his disguise go off?

"I'm sorry... I forgot about the disguise stuff" she said in an apologizing tone, bowing to Raymond.

"No need... You made me realize something important" he said in a somber, waving his hand at her.

"No it's all my fault!" she yelled out, this time going for the ground.

Rolling my eyes, I couldn't help but think; all these over-righteous people were very annoying to deal with.

"No Alice, you don't have to do this," he said, using an arm to lift her from the ground.

"*Sob sob* really... You forgive me?" she said, looking straight into his eyes.

"Yes, I forgive you," Raymond said, beating his chest.

"So would you... come to my room... tonight?" she said in a shy tone, breaking her words a little.

I knew it, all she needed was his rod, I was starting to forget the meaning behind the name. Red Light District.

"Of course, I will" he replied, smiling sheepishly. Running out of the room, the whole surrounding became quiet... until her footsteps disappeared.

"I came to check his bone age," said Raymond, to the individuals looking at him.

"Yes lord Raymond," they said, arranging their equipment for the procedure.
