The most feared person of the Edo era surrendered and regretted his actions, he was executed and died, but he got a second chance from the god, when he opened his eyes he was reborn in a world full of magic, with a gift from the god he promised to atone for the sins he committed in the old world,
The most feared person in the Edo period, Kirayasha Zanshikou, is his name. He is a 22-year-old man with a height of 183 cm, has long black hair, a strong body as if his muscles are made of iron, and has a handsome face. This time he will be executed in front of the Shogun's palace, the execution was witnessed by the Shogun himself and hundreds of people who have a grudge against him.
"Kirayasha Zanshikou, do you regret your sins in this world?" Asked the Shogun.
"I am a failed human my lord, I have killed many people, and I do not feel anything, but after I lost them, I understand what it means to lose, even though I repent it's too late, people will still look at me as a murderer. I just want this guilt to be removed and let me die in front of the people who have a grudge against me so that they will feel satisfied when I have died, I regret what I did before, my lord. " Kirayasha answered with his handcuffed hands and did a seiza (sitting position in Japanese).
"Well, I'm amazed by your behavior, may the gods give you a second chance!" The Shogun said, raising his hand to signal that the execution was about to begin.
"Thank you, my lord," Kirayasha said with a smile.
The Shogun lowered his hand, after the executioner saw that, he drew his katana and began the execution. With only one slash Kirayasha head was cut off.
"The execution is over! The executioner burned the body." Tell the Shogun.
"Yes, my lord." The executioner replied.
The public began to cheer happily because they were waiting for the death of a Kirayasha Zanshikou.
*****
After being executed, Kirayasha soul was reeling in a very dark place, but suddenly, he heard someone speak.
"Kirayasha, wake up !, Kirayasha!" Said the voice.
"Huh! Who are you!" Kirayasha said as he opened his eyes.
When Kirayasha opened his eyes, he could only see an empty black room without anything.
"Is this the realm of the dead?" Murmured Kirayasha thoughtfully.
When Kirayasha was thinking, suddenly, a figure like a ball of light appeared in front of him.
"Are you awake, Kirayasha?" Asked a figure of light.
"Wh-who are you! Are you a god that people worship?" Kirayasha asked back while standing up in surprise.
"Right !, I am the god you worship!" Answer a light figure.
"I bow to you!" Kirayasha said while prostrating.
"I've seen various kinds of action Kirayasha !, and I have a question for you, do you brave enough to answer?" Asked the god.
"O-of course, I will answer everything you ask!" Kirayasha replied.
"Hahaha, take it easy, don't be too formal." Said the god.
"Alright ..." said Kirayasha while slowly doing seiza.
"You are the human that interests me the most Kirayasha, I liked watching your journeys, but .., I was a little surprised when you suddenly turned yourself in, why did you do that?" asked the god.
"Okay, god, if you have watched all my journey, maybe you will understand a little about what I feel. When I was five years old, I killed a person for the first time, that person was my father, I don't know why when I returned to hunting. From the forest, I saw my lifeless mother, and in front of her was my father who was carrying a knife, when I wanted to ask what happened, suddenly my father ran towards me while trying to stab me with a knife. I avoided him and ran to take my late grandfather's katana in my room, even though it was the first time I held a katana, I fearlessly drew the sword and stabbed my father. After that incident, I was wanted by all the people in the village and was thought to have killed my parents. I returned to the forest and practiced how to using a katana without a teacher. For ten years, I practiced. I came out of the forest for the first time, I became an assassin to live my life, I have killed many people, but all I feel is emptiness. I also try to become a soldier. When fighting, everyone calls me yokai, Akuma, and Yasha. They were afraid of the sword skills that I made myself, and at that time I formed a friendly relationship with the Shogun, after five years I left the army and wandered about, I still developed my sword technique which I named the kirayasha technique. When I was wandering, I heard a woman screaming in the house near me walking, I didn't think for a long time I went straight to the house, I saw a woman in her 21s holding a knife, and in front of her, there was a man and woman who were killed, that woman. shouted at me that she was only protecting himself, I also remembered my past that was similar to him, I talked to him if I trusted him and would protect him, she cried and kept saying thanks to me, I took him with me and trained him to use the katana with my technique. 2 years passed, we became husband and wife and have 1 1 year old son, my wife has become stronger and works for the shogun empire, I want to forbid it but her wish has been firm so I can only give up, on my son's 2nd birthday there a letter from the empire that my wife died in the war, I didn't believe it and went straight to the shogun's palace to find the truth, yeah ...., leaving my 2 year old son at home alone unprotected, after arriving at the palace I sneaked in and accidentally hearing the talk of the guards, they said that my wife was killed by the commander of the shogun's army for refusing to become his wife, after hearing this statement I immediately appeared in the middle of the Shohun's palace, I shouted the name of the army commander and called him here, the incident attracted the attention of the guards at the Shogun's palace, for not being able to control my emotions I was killing everyone who got in my way, I managed to find the commander's room that killed my wife, without thinking I broke the door and immediately approached him, he fearfully continued to say that I was a devil who resembled a human, I ignored it and slowly cut off the commander's two legs and asked If is it true that he killed my wife, I was surprised because he laughed after hearing that question, he asked me back, did you not forget something, he asked, and suddenly a soldier came near carrying a sack, the soldier threw The sack was on me and inside was the head of my son who was 2 years old, my emotions were getting out of control, and I killed everyone in the palace, until someone called me by the name Kirahoshi, it was a name that the shogun left to me when I was still becoming a soldier, I stopped and looked at the shogun with my emotional state still out of control, but the shogun bravely approached me and touched my shoulder, he said that I had to calm down and control the demonic figure in me, I slowly saw the shogun and I knelt to him crying, I was ordered by the shogun to explain why did I do this, after telling all the incidents the shogun thanked me at the same time was angry with me, even though you are my friend I cannot free you from execution, said the Shogun, I who could not do anything surrendered and surrendered to receive the death penalty, and after me executed I met you god, that's all I can say." Said Kirayahsa while explaining to the god.
"Hmm, your story is not boring, that's why I will give you a gift?" Asked the god.
"I thank you, but why are you giving me gifts?" Asked Kirayasha.
"I already told you, I have been a bit bored in recent times. Therefore I see you as an interesting spectacle." Replied the god.
"If I may know what gift you gave?" Asked Kirayasha.
"I will bring you back to another world, are you interested?" Replied the god.
"But why should I?" Asked Kirayasha.
"Do you know, when I saw the journey of your life I cried, that's why I want you to live better in another world." Said the god while crying.
"Alright. Without further ado, I will send you to another world right now." Said the god.
After the god said, this Kirayasha body slowly started to glow.
"W-wait, god, what will happen to me ?!" Asked Kirayasha
"good bye Kirayasha, I hope you live a better life in another world. I will continue to watch you up here." Said the god.
Kirayasha body has begun to disappear.
"W-what happened to me; why did everything turn dark," Kirayasha said while looking around.
Suddenly in the darkness, there was a glimmer of light approaching Kirayasha, and slowly the light became bright.
"Aaa !, how clear !!" Said Kirayasha while closing his eyes and shouting.
Kirayasha slowly opened his eyes and he was surprised by what he saw.
"Wh-where is this?" Said Kirayasha while surprised and looked around.
