Change

"Bam"

The knife had pierced through the wall making a loud sound. Evan felt his heartbeat as death was so close, if he hadn't moved his head he would've died. Looking at them he was filled with rage yet he was afraid.

Why did he have to be so weak? Why did he have to be so talentless? WHY DID ALL THESE THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO HIM?? His mind shook as he kept questioning himself.

But not for long...

Swish

"AAARGH"

A moan from pain escaped his lips.

"AAAUGH""AAAUGH""AAARGH""AAAHHHHHH"

As knives were thrown onto his body. He cried out in pain as he closed his eyes. He felt pain, for some reason even when they were already stabbed at him he felt pain, a burning sensation. He felt as if he was being burnt alive.

Sniff

He smelled burning flesh as he opened his eyes, he saw the knifes glowing red as smoke started to come from his opened wounds he felt his blood boiling.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH"

"STOP STOP STOP!!!"

He kept screaming as he looked at them pleading, but he was met with smiles as they watched him smirking.

"come on help him, get some water" Kaiser smiled as he said,

"Yes, young master" the goon obliged,

A bucket of water was brought out, as the goon threw the water at him. He felt happy that his torment from this hellish pain was going to end. But soon enough as the water spilled on him he wondered why were they suddenly listening until-

"OH MY GOD!!!! NO NO NO!!!. STOP THE FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

He suddenly screamed, the water didn't help it made the fire hotter while cooling him as he was once again burnt.

He cried as tears streamed down from his cheeks. He felt the blood dripping, he felt himself slowly dying. As his mental state slowly crumbled, he became numb to the pain.

Why every damn time I'm always on the verge of death? Why do I always have to suffer? WHY AM I SO WEAK? WHY IM I ALWAYS IN THESE SITUATIONS? WHY THE F*CK IS EVERYTHING LIKE THIS EVERY DAMN TIME! WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

He questioned himself, he questioned everything. As he slowly lost his mind, he started laughing

"HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH"

"Wow he went crazy haha look at him knive"

"your right, young master" Knive smirked as he looked at this scene.

Evan couldn't hear anything he was only focusing on himself as he questioned himself. Why were these things always happening? Maybe if he were raised as an actual noble maybe this wouldn't have happened. Maybe if his dad was still alive this wouldn't have happened.

"Look at me, look at the person who killed you" Kaiser he said in ecstasy,

Maybe if he was a talent. Maybe if he wasn't lazy. Maybe if he was just an ordinary. Maybe he was strong. Maybe... Maybe... Maybe... Maybe ... Maybe... Maybe... Maybe... Maybe... Maybe...

"LOOK AT ME" he repeated

He felt as if something in him broke as his face was just blank and his eyes no longer had it shine. He felt himself dying, he felt death was slowly coming towards him. He felt dead, he felt calm. He felt nothing. He didn't know what he was feeling but just blankness.

BANG!

He was punched on his cheek as his face smashed against the wall. He didn't look at Kaiser as he was just calm yet blank.

"You B*stard, HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME" Kaiser said as he took a sword and stabbed Evan again and again.

Evan was just blank, as he felt death coming closer and closer.

"Was it all destined? This has always happened, with me being in a life and death situation... From the beginning, it was never easy... wasn't it? Maybe he should've stopped adventuring at some point. Maybe settling down somewhere would've fixed the problem. Living a secluded life.

But would that really fix the problem? He was destined to be hunted by his clan. He was destined to not have a peaceful life. Just the example of him being chased for 12 years proved it. So what if he hid and got a family somewhere? but would it be safe? If they found him how would he resist? He would get his family killed.

Maybe he could go hide under someone strong, but why would anyone step up for him against one of the top clans in the world? Was there such a good deal in the world? Is there any good in this world? No mercy? He was weak, untalented he had nothing yet they were still so determined to kill him...

Why? He had nothing... They had already killed his father yet they wanted him too. And it wasn't just his 'family' that wanted to kill him. Beasts or people would always want to kill him whether it was for his identity or for treasures like his ring.

He tried hiding it all, that's why he rarely used his ring, though he did use it sometimes because he was lazy. Yet it almost cost him his life. His Dad had left protective treasures of his power to protect him.

His dad was strong yet he was also killed.

"I don't want this to no longer happen. I don't want to always be on the verge of death. I want power but more than that I want overwhelming strength. I want strength so I can do what I want! I want strength so I can ignore all others. And more than that, NO LONGER WILL I BE ON THE VERGE OF DEATH EVERY GOD DAMN TIME!!! I've HAD ENOUGH"

He screamed in his head, as the light appeared in his eyes once again.

"This time I'll kill with a swipe of my katana. I will move to the point the battle ends in an instant. I won't take any long fights that bring about these results. Either you or I will die.

All these had happened in a few seconds. As he felt a change within him, inside him. He felt reborn as if he had gone through a transformation.

BANG!

Evan punched Kaiser that was crazily stabbing at him. He watched as Kaiser went back 10m as he drew out the swords and knife stabbed into his body.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

They dropped one by one.

"You..." Kaiser looked in shock as Evan could still fight even though he looked to be on the verge of death.

Evan looked on calmly as he raised his hand.

SWOOSH!

His katana flew to his hands, as he felt that weird feeling from before as if it was an extension of his body. It reminded him of the time his body had moved on its own. Only he felt it clearly now, his katana would help him in his new path. He would slay all within an instant.
