I have the sudden urges to write fanfic. Not the prologue I actually planned, but am too lazy to start over. Enjoy... or not.

Ehe

The girl opened her eyes.

Everyone around her was on the ground. She did not know whether they were still alive or not. There was no blood nor destruction that could indicate violence. They seemed to be sleeping peacefully.

"Ugh…"

The girl tried to move, but her body was tied up to a metal chair. Only then she remembered about what happened to her. She was kidnapped, forcefully taken away on her way home. Her car was hit by her assailant and her bodyguards was killed. They covered her nose with a napkin. Then, she was awake to such condition. Her body was shaking and she suddenly felt cold. The girl wanted to shout, but afraid it would bring her trouble instead.

"Maybe there is someone here."

The door before her opened, revealing a boy of her age. How old is he? She thought. The boy should be nine or ten years old. The girl did not know what happened, but he just caught her eyes. The boy had a fair face. He was short, even shorter than her. He wore the same white gown as her. There was number 999 on his gown.

"Someone really is here. Are you okay? What is your name? Can you walk? I will help you, okay."

"…"

Without waiting for her answer, the boy walked to a console near them and pressed a few buttons. "This and this should do it."

Clang!

The cuff on the girl wrist opened.

"Hey, are you okay?" Asked the boy again while walking towards her. He was confused because the girl did not move nor talk.

"Who are you?" Asked the girl.

"Me? My name is Dio. You are?"

"Carla. Carla Schmidt."

"Nice to meet you Carla, but we don't have much time. This facility is under attack. We need to go outside immediately. Come!"

"Wait…"

The boy grab Carla left hand without much thought.

"Where are we going?" Asked Carla.

"Freedom." Said Dio, smiling.

Carla noticed that everyone except both of them was on the floor. They were on the same condition as the people near her when she woke up.

"Did you do all of this?"

"It is a secret…"

"…"

She didn't get any answer from the boy.

Finally, they saw the door to the outside world.

"There is so many stars! Finally I'm outside again." Dio ran around her while jumping excitedly. "It has been nine years since I'm trapped inside the facility."

"Trapped inside…?"

"Never mind about that. We are free now. There is nothing to be afraid of."

"I'm not afraid of anything."

Their banter was cut short by a shout behind them.

"Murderer!" A man crawl on the ground and tried to walk, but found no power on his body. "You are a devil! You killed everyone."

The man words made Carla looked at Dio in fear. She took some steps back unconsciously. On the other hand, Dio looked at the man with no expression. His smile was gone, replaced by calculating eyes. "I guess the doses was not enough. Did I miscalculate? Oh, anyway…" Dio raised his hand and point it towards the approaching man. "Burning Finger 1."

Boom!

A pillar of orange flame pierced the man and engulfed him on fire until he became ashes. The process was so fast that in Carla perspective, Dio just point his finger and the man turned to ashes.

"Evil for evil…"

Out of fear, Carla fell unconscious once more.

Dio just smiled weakly. He actually didn't want to kill anyone, but circumstances required it. "Am I destined to be a killer? I thought I am going to be reincarnated into a peaceful world, but it seems the only constant is suffering."

The boy, Dio was not of this world. He was reincarnated into this world after being killed in a school shooting incident.

His soul trapped in emptiness for nine hundred years.

He then regained his memories within nine years.

Got his power nine months after his ninth birthday.

He discovered two schrift within his souls, the letter of "D" for Death Dealing and the letter of "H" for Heat. Death Dealing had the power to control lethal dose, to make the most poisonous poison out of thin air while being immune to it. Meanwhile, Heat has the power to create or manipulate fire from reishi alone. He still had a long way to go before he can master the two power though.

Today, he was sick of the place that treat him like life stock. He embraced his inner demon and planned for an escape. "The other should be safe by now." Said the boy while looking on the other side of the building.

"Helicopter? So, she managed to get to a safe place."

The boy heard a helicopter coming from behind. Not only one, but five armed helicopters. "… What's next, I wonder?"

And the night continued.

Six years had passed since the incident.

"What's wrong, Dio? You seem to be in a bad mood?"

"This is Japan, but the way I see it, this city is no different from Berlin."

"Hahaha, what did you expect?"

"I don't know. Authentic building and kimono, maybe. Just different from how I imagined it to be."

"That was in the past. They moved on to something more convenient. Ah, but Japanese still use kimono on certain occasion."

"… Right."

Dio stopped looking outside his car and opened his mobile terminal. He immediately noticed a message from Carla. "How is Japan? I heard they have good food. You have to try it if you have the time."

"Got it, Queen. I'll bring you souvenir in ten years."

"Are you actually planning to come back at all?"

"Ehe."

"You better be back here during Christmas."

"Geez, I'm only kidding. I'll be back on Christmas."

Dio smiled from ear to ear after teasing his childhood friend. After the incident six years ago, Dio was adopted by the Rosen family, one of the riches family on Earth. Of course, they knew of Dio's ability. Not everything, but at least they knew Dio could shoot highly compressed fire from his finger that could rival the core of a sun. Contrary to his expectations, the Rosen family treated him well as their own biological son. After finishing middle school, Dio intended to study in Japan because he loved manga.

"Dio, are you sure you want to live alone?"

"Uncle Ferdinand, just in case you forgot, I'm not a kid anymore you know?"

"Of course, of course. Even as a kid, you were not cute."

"I will take that as compliment."

"Hahaha."

Uncle Ferdinand drove the car to Chiba Prefecture, Tokyo. Dio's parent rent a small apartment for him. Actually, they wanted to buy Dio a mansion in Japan, but Dio refused by saying that the only room he needed was a bedroom. Eventually, they agreed to let Dio pick his own apartment. He chose the one closest to the city center so he can explore his life choices.

"We arrived."

"Oh, finally."

They arrived in front of a large three stories building. Not too big, but not too small either. You could say this apartment was for someone with low to mid level income. Most of the tenant were fresh graduates that just got job.

"Can't wait to explore the city, eh?"

"Hehe…"

"Just don't do anything that will disappoint your parent."

"Got it, Mom."

"Cheeky boy."

After checking inside and doing some unpacking, Uncle Ferdinand left Dio alone. He was actually a busy man, Japan branch Rosen Industries head of public relations.

Dio lay on his bed to think about a lot of things.

"I guess this is really my life now, as a student."

Then, he fell asleep.

Thanks for reading.
