Prologue - Ch 0

It was a stormy weather. My vision is starting to get blurry not because it's raining heavily but rather because I'm dying. I was stabbed from behind and left for dead. I was killed by one of the gang's members He's not part of my division since I was assigned as the 2nd division vice commander of one of the largest Yakuza Families in japan. The one who killed me was one of the 5th division members. I don't know why he killed me but I was unfortunate enough to die when no one was around which means he can just report to the others that I was killed by the enemy gang if he wanted to which could start a gang war.

"How did I end up like this" I thought

***

I hear a loud banging noise on my apartment door when suddenly a large person broke it down

"Are you Mr. Matsuoka?" Said a lady in a suit with bodyguards all around her asks

"Um If you're referring to my father he and my mother for some reason

cut all contacts with me a week ago" I said

"Tsk, I guess you'll have to do then" (Yakuza boss')

"Eh? what do you mean" (Shou)

"Well to put it simply your family borrowed some money from me and I think you already know what happens to people who don't pay us back in time. We kill them" (Yakuza boss)

"WAIT I h-have an offer," I said nervously

"Ho? Fine then, normally I don't listen to anyone who begs for mercy when someone doesn't pay me back in time but since you look quite cute I'll listen to your offer but If I don't like it then you're dead" (yakuza boss)

"H-how about I work for you so I can pay you guys back all the money my parents owe you" (Shou)

"Hmm Not bad of an offer but can Handle it that's the question you don't look like the type of person to do dirty work and besides there's no place for soft people like you in a yakuza" (Yakuza boss)

"That's true but that doesn't mean I can't be useful in other ways and besides anyone can do dirty work if they're determined enough" (Shou)

"That's true, Alright I'll let you in my family but if I see you unfit to work for me or doing poorly for the job I'll have no choice but to have your head, You got that?" She said with a scary smile

"Y-yes Ma'am" (Shou)

"TODA GET THIS SHOU KID TO OUR LIST AND PUT HIM ON THE LOWEST RANK, He's one of us now if he proves himself useful... Oh and give him a ride to our Headquarters.... I forgot to mention my name is Hajo Yumiko The head Boss of the Hajo family and as everyone knows a yakuza family. Welcome to the gang Matsuoka Shou I hope you'll prove yourself useful" (Yumiko)

"I-i'll do my best Mishiki-oyabun" (Shou)

***

Normally I wouldn't do things that aren't my problem unless they're the people I care about but it's better than dying. Years passed and I climbed through the ranks and although I did get my hands dirty with someone else's blood there's nothing I could do, besides It's not like I killed some innocent person but rather they deserve it and I have also gotten closer with the boss and I gotta say she's quite beautiful and developed a crush on her since Tomboys are one of my types and she took a liking to me but not in a romantic way, she only acknowledge me and respects me although she probably doesn't like me back the same way I do, Having her respect and acknowledgment is good enough for me.

"Haha I guess this is what they call their final moments since I'm having flashbacks to the first time i met Mishiki-Oyabun, But I guess this is it well I guess it's fine since I already paid off my useless parents debt But even then I still want to be with the gang and Mishikioyabun, Haha this sucks... If only..I..was...stronger..."

k...

ki...

kid...

"Oi Kid are you listening to me?" (???)

"Huh?" (Shou)

"Don't pass out me when I'm literally giving you a chance to hear you out on your offer since You look quite cute" (Yumiko)

"Wait wasn't I in the alleyway a few minutes ago?" (Shou)

"What are you talking about? We literally just came in here in your apartment just moments ago. Did the sight of us make you lose a few screws or something" (Yumiko)

I checked the time on my phone and it was set no mistaking it I went back in time the first time I met Mishiki-oyabun but how, of course there's no use in thinking about it because it's not even logical in any case I need to calm down first and tell her my offer again but since this time I went back in time before I died which means I can give myself a headstart and try to find out why that 5th division member killed me although I don't know his name yet I do remember his face but he hasn't been in the gang yet until a few years after I joined, which means I should get early intel and prepare until that time comes that way I can become stronger than my first life.

"Oi Kid are you gonna tell me your offer or not" (Yumiko)

"Oh, Yeah Of course, of course, I'll tell you my offer" (Noboru)

This time I'll become stronger than in my previous life, I'll work hard for my own survival and.

"How about I work for you so I can pay you guys back all the money my parents owe you" (Noboru)

For getting revenge on the person who killed me and the people who wronged me and to protect the people who died for my sake. I'll show them all
