Prologue - Pilot.


"So... You say that you'll pay double if I blow this guy's brains out?" the boy asked with a smirk as he spoke to his client.

"Yes, Phantom. I will pay you double the amount if you blow his head off. Hikaru Masayuki has been leaking company secrets, and it could damage business. I hope you understand. Normally, we wouldn't call for an assassin, but he's going to expose our biggest secrets. It could affect the country of Japan." the older man spoke on his side of the phone conversation.

"So much for the honorable Genjiro Nanase of Nanase Games." Phantom chuckled. "Don't worry, this bastard's as good as gone. He's fucked. I'll call you after the job is done. Goodbye." with that, he hung up the phone and set up his to-do list for the next day.


[Next Day...]

Leon Redgrave, the 17-year-old awoke on the ferry to Tokyo in Japan, or Shin-Tokyo/Shinto-Teito. He groggily got up from the bench he slept on and groaned as he stretched himself out, his back making popping and clicking noises as he worked the kinks out. He muttered to himself that he would get a blanket next time he traveled.

After stretching and warming up slightly, he moved to the private shower room on the ferry. The scars on his back and his left arm were very apparent. the top of his entire left arm up to his shoulder was covered in a large burn, while his back was covered in long red marks from the beatings his foster parents gave him as a kid. Leon shivered as the water trickled over the scars that lined his back, causing him to lean against the wall to keep himself steady. He stayed there for 20 minutes before washing his white hair and leaving.

Outside his ship cabin, he noticed the ship was about to dock on Shinto-Teito. He smiled as he chewed on some chocolate pretzels he had stashed in his bag before leaving. "Today's the day~" he quietly sang to himself.
