Connor, Ryker Achlys.
Chapter 0: Midnight mishaps & Freedom.
It was just another late night stroll through this lavish city I call a hell hole. I was taking in the sights of all the people who oh so happily shared their open pockets and wallets with me. Everyone in this city is just another imbecile. Honestly it's not even a challenge anymore.
I was heading towards my ratty apartment because lately some weirdo has been going around and making a mess of this place. I know how to avoid him because I am capable of sensing souls. It was really easy to learn and really handy in my line of 'work' (ha this gets me every time). It helps me distinguish who has good amount of money and who would essentially be robbing me.
I finally managed to get home when I sensed the guy who has been killing people nearby, and by nearby I mean he was inside my apartment. This was his first step in successfully pissing me off. I opened my door to see a huge guy with a butcher's knife wearing a pig mask.
"Well little one have you come to play with me?!" He said with a creepy look. Step two in pissing me off is insulting me.
"Sure, let's play." I say with a smirk. The freak rushes me but I easily dodge him and dig my elbow into his back. He stumbles forward but quickly turns around and tries to chop me in half but I just duck his butcher knife and punch his gut. After words I go behind him and decide to end it by hitting him in the back with my palm and using my soul to send a blast wave through him until he is nothing but a floating red soul.
"Well that was boring." I say and walk over to my bedroom to get some sleep after I put the soul somewhere safe, a jar on my shelf, and quickly hit the hay.
/time skip to tomorrow morning/
Another bright and sunny day for me to get to work. I start off with a casual stroll through town just to take in the sights and see if anyone new decided to visit this quaint little city.
I was walking along when I sensed and saw something weird. A kid with a couple of girls walking behind him. The strange thing was this kid looked rich and his soul was that of one who would be important. All I had to do was nudge him a bit to see what kind of goods he has. I bumped him and was off with his wallet and he was none the wiser.
"HEY YOU!" He screamed at me. Crap maybe he is a bit smarter then he looks.
"What do you want?" I ask plainly just in case.
"How dare you think you can get away with such acts." He says.
"Ok fine I'm-" I began to say but he cuts me off.
"You ruined my symmetry by bumping into only one of my shoulders. Now come back here and bump into my other to restore my symmetry." He says. Never mind what I said earlier.
"I'm sorry about his OCD just give him a nudge on the other shoulder and we'll be on our way." The girl with the long hair said. I just nodded and nudge him then went on my way. Lucky me cause I got two wallets for the price of one, Now to get somewhere safe and check the loot I thought to myself.
I went back to my place and checked out the wallets. They were filled with large amounts of money and I thought I had finally found my meal ticket, until I saw the title of the currency.
"Death dollars, how the heck do I convert these into money. Do these even have value outside of that stupid city?! I had to take from a kid from death city. What was he even doing here?!" I ranted to myself.
I was going to head out again when someone or something blew a hole through my door.
"What the f***ing hell man?" I scream at the person standing in the doorway. This place may look it but it ain't cheap.
"Where is the kishin?" he asked and pointed one of his twin pistols at me. It was then I noticed that it was the kid from earlier.
"Look if this is about your wallets I didn't spend the money so you can take them back but nobody trashes my place without paying." I said and got in a fighting stance.
He started firing at me and I managed to avoid his bullets and get close enough to hit him head on, I threw some basic punches towards him but he dodged them all. I decide to use my soul for a few hits and it seemed to take him by surprise but he quickly got over it and started firing again. He kept missing because I was too fast for him but it was when I got distracted after blowing up my wall that he got a few shots in and managed to knock me out.
These were not ordinary bullets however, they didn't seem to pierce my skin, and they only seemed to disrupt my soul
When I woke up I found myself in some weird dessert like room.
"Ah so he's finally up. Hello there boy my son told me about how you were not only able to fight using your soul wavelength but also able to kill a Kishin. So after some consideration we have decided to extend an invitation to you to join the D.W.M.A. And before you answer my Son wanted to have you arrested for being a thief so it's either here or prison. So what do ya say?" said a weird looking man with a skeleton mask. Naturally I handled the situation as best as I possibly could.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked. Okay maybe that wasn't the best approach.
"Oh sorry about that, my name is Death the Grim Reaper. I run the Death Weapon Meister Academy, or the DWMA for short. So what's it gonna be?" Death says.
"Well… I really hate prison so I guess I'll have to be here for the time being." I said with a sense of sarcasm. I was really going to leave the first second I could.
"Great since you know my name why not giving me yours." He said.
"The name's Connor." I say bored.
"Well here are directions to the boy's dormitories where you will be staying for the time being and here is your room key." He said as he handed me a map and room key and then I headed off towards the directions on the map.
