"Stand down Aser or you will die today." A blonde haired teen with a strong build said to the boy infront of him.
"I never back down." The fragile looking boy replied with firm determination in his eyes.
"Your foolishness will only lead a path to your grave." The blonde boy stated as he rushed towards Aser. He tried to punch him in the face but Aser dodged and grabbed onto his arm. He tried to break his arm by striking it against his own shoulder. However, the blonde's power was too great as he threw a knee cut directly towards Aser's stomach.
Aser fell on the ground grabbing his stomach, pain visible on his face. The blonde however, didn't give him any time to rest, he started to repeatedly kick Aser in the same spot he had hit before.
Aser cried out in pain but no one came to help. The spectators were just the blonde kid's lackeys, so they were on his side and would never help. Even if someone among them wanted to help, he wouldn't do it just because of the fear of his boss.
"Do you give up? I will spare your life if you swear to serve me for the rest of your life." The blonde kid said with a smirk on his face.
*Spit*
Instead of complying, Aser instead did the unthinkable. He spat on the blonde's face, his spit a mixture of both blood and saliva.
"I would rather die!" He said with a proud smile, blood seeping out from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing what his enemy, who was defeated, under his feet, did to him. The blonde's face turned red with rage, he lost all reason and forcefully stepped on Aser's chest.
"Bastard! Then die!" He said as he applied more force.
"Aahhh!!!" Aser cried out in pain, tears rolled down his cheeks as more blood spurted out of his mouth.
*Crack* *Crack*
The sound of cracking and screams of Aser resounded throughout the empty street. The people witnessing the scene couldn't help but shiver in fear. This was simply inhumane to them.
A little while later, all the noises in the street came to an abrupt end and so did the breaths of Aser.
"Boss he died!"
"I know." The blonde replied with indifference.
"But boss, what will we do if the cops find out?"
"You don't have to worry about that. This kid was an orphan, so no one will dig too deep into his death, plus my father is the mayor of this city, he will take care of it."
"A-as you say, boss"
"Let's go, leave this little shit's corpse here. Let dogs feed on his flesh. He was too full of himself, this would be a fitting end for him." The blonde haired teen scoffed as he walked out of the dark street. His lackeys closely followed behind, leaving Aser's cold corpse in the dark, unknown street.

As Aser died, he could feel his soul leaving his body. He wasn't prepared to die, but deep down, he knew that only death awaited him if he dared to start a fight with Ralf.
But what could he do? He didn't have the power to retaliate, his mother taught him to live proudly, to never let anyone trample over him. He was just following the path his mother left for him. He could have also swallowed his pride and let Ralf have his way but he simply didn't want to.
That was but the past, he was now dead. He let go of all his worries and let the cold touch of death embrace him. Just as all this was happening, his entire life flashed before his eyes.
The moments he spent with his parents were being played out before his eyes. Every good memory resurfaced as he felt a sence of joy.
His memories were being played out like a movie in fast forward. However the movie stopped on a certain memory he had long forgotten. It was a very important memory, it was the reason behind his firm determination and self belief, it was the source of his identity. So Aser began wondering how could he have forgotten it.
Pushing his thoughts aside, the movie of his memory started playing. He could see a purple haired, dignified, beautiful woman and a small kid talking to each other.
...
"Mom! Our neighbour's kid is bullying me."
"Again? Didn't I tell you to not fear anyone? You are my son! You must always stay strong and stand up for yourself." The woman said, her voice sweet and authoritative at the same time.
"But mom, I am not strong enough! How am I supposed to fight against someone who is stronger than me?" The kid asked the woman with a sad face.
Seeing her son sad, the woman gently hugged him to comfort him. "Don't worry little Aser, you are not weak. Let me tell you a secret."
"A secret! What is it?" The kid's eyes lit up at the mention of secret. All kids love secrets as much as they love candy.
"Not a secret, it is more like an advice. Just listen, the thing is that you are very special, you might not realise it but I know you are. You are a gift to this world, a gift to me. So never cower in fear, stand tall like a mountain and live your life like a dragon."
"What does that mean mom, I don't understand?"
"Don't worry, one day, you will understand and when you do, stay true to the way I have shown you. Always live proudly my son and remember to not let your pride turn into arrogance. Arrogance is the worst kind of pride."
...
"Mother! I miss you, but I guess I will be joining you soon. I lived as you asked of me to, I never lowered my head to anyone, I lived proudly and died proudly!" Aser said in a sorrowful tone, his eyes were closed as to hide the deep sadness in them.
[Ding!]
"Huh! What was that?"

"WHAT IS THIS!?" Just as Aser confusingly said, a bright light flashed before his eyes and everything went blank.
