Chapter 1: New World

Kale saw darkness. Pitch black darkness. He tried to scourer through his memories and it soon came flooding back.

"Damned bastard!" He spat out with an enraged look. "He killed me for no absolute reason! I don't have anything worth on me!"

Kale remembered what had happened. He was tortured then killed for no reason. Just that made his blood boil in anger. All the pain he went through... why?

He took deep breaths in this strange space and tried to calm himself. 'It's okay, it's okay. The afterlife is calling.'

Kale tried to smile but he failed miserably. The darkness was getting him extremely frustrated and there was nothing he could do.

However, just before he was losing it, bright light swept away the darkness.

"Kale Rae."

A soft, enchanting voice echoed in the now bright place.

Kale raised an imaginary eyebrow in confusion. What the heck was going on? Wait... don't you dare assign me a task!

"I need you to survive.. you have something great ahead of you."

'Oh boy, fuck this.' Kale grunted internally.

"However, I will leave with you a treasure and what you know as system to aid you. But you must keep in mind, in whatever way you have to, no matter the odds, just survive."

The light slowly left along with the voice.

Kale was stunned by alongside that, he was excited!

'New world here I come!'

A portal appeared infront of him and sucked him in with a great suction force.

"Let's get it!"

...

The skies trembled lightly, and humans and other intelligent beings were unable to notice the occurrence.

Kale opened his eyes and felt his control over his body once again, 'Nice!'

He got up and observed the room and he gritted his teeth in anger.

'This is where I died!' Kale stomped on the floor to vent his rage in the very least.

He calmed down his storming mind and recalled what the voice said.

"System."

Kale was astonished once he saw this and small tear droplets couldn't help but form at the corner of his eyelids.

"Damn it Kael! Don't cry!" He smiled lightly and calmed his mind. He was sent back here so does this mean it was the exact same time.

"Then that means..." Kale's smile widened, "The killer is still here..."

Kale looked at the glowing screen infront of him and focused on the bar titled:

[Soul Treasure: Arcane Scissors]

At first he didn't notice it due to excitement but now...

"Was the voice trolling with me? Scissors? Even a knife is better!" He complained. However, a thought soon aroused in his mind.

"Let me call it out. Arcane Scissors." Suddenly a pair of scissors appeared in his hands.

The scissors looked extremely refined and grand for it's stature. It had a black handle, with two blades with blue edges.

The design on it was magnificent and Kale felt the need to awe for some more. His thoughts crossed, 'How is scissors this so good looking!'

It's good looks outweighed it in uselessness. However, you should never judge a book by its cover.

Kale felt immense waves of sharpness radiating from the scissors. He looked at it again with focus and bam!

[Arcane Scissors: A treasure that grows along with the user. It's has no limit. Skills include: [Sever]-[Size Change].]

Kale smiled lightly. Too much was happening in one day. Now was a very special one.

He walked through the abandoned warehouse without making a noise. The killer should be outside by now.

Taking the opportunity, Kale sprinted with all he had. He felt extremely bloodthirsty for the killers head.

Maybe it was out of venting or revenge or even both! But that did not matter, all what mattered is that he was doing it.

It didn't take long for Kale to arrive infront of the warehouse were he expected the killer to be, and he was right.

Dressed in a pitch black outfit and a black mask, a figure could be seen tapping his feet on the ground, seemingly waiting for someone or something.

Kale felt his bloodlust increase by a bit and he was astonished. He never knew he had it in him to be such a blood hungry person.

Whatever, he was going to kill today. Stain his hands with the blood of others.

He ran to the figure with scissors in hand and aimed to kill.

The figure became alerted and looked in his direction and was shocked to see the person he or she had killed, suddenly come back ready to kill.

The black outfitted person raised their arms in an attempt to hold the scissors but they underestimated how sharp it was. Especially since this was a treasure owned by Kale too.

Szz!

The figures flesh was slashed by the scissors and blood jutted out profusely.

"Aaarh!!!" The person screamed, and Kale could tell it was a feminine one.

"A girl? Tsk." Kale still didn't care. He felt vengeful, she tried to kill him, correction, she did kill him but he came back and came for her neck.

Aah! What a twist of fate!

"H-h-h-ow?" The girl managed to say through a broken word.

Kale felt his mood turn sour, so he raised the blood stained scissors again and said coldly, "If only you hadn't killed me, but speaking of which I would have never had this opportunity. Eh."

"Die for me!" Kale uttered and sliced at her open neck and watched as blood fell with fail.

"If only you hadn't come... am I turning into a psychopath? Eh- maybe it's because of anger." Kale concluded.

He realized he had made a fuss and stealthily escaped. He used some of the water from the river to wash some of the small blood drops on his body.

Afterward, he made his way to the streets and looked around with curiosity.

He breathed in the fresh air and smiled, "It's time to find out about my new world."
