Well, hello there, folks and welcome to another new story, brought to you truly by me, TheEschaton and of course, another inspiration from a Wattpad author, JustyTurner with his story, 'Konosuba X OP male reader: A hero's new beginning' and if you have any stories from Wattpad that are great in concept but poor in execution, please let me know.
And if you know what am I doing, you know that I intend to be as antithetical to his work as much as possible, starting with how instead of Y/N (and yes, I have already explained this as he is another one of those authors from Wattpad) where he would be a normal teenage boy who would go on an adventure to a fantasy world where he would be gifted with something for his bravery that makes him an overpowered hero, Kuro Naito, the main OC I have made is...
Well, look at the information I have made with the help of ToolBaz and you will know. Either way, I wanted to be as different as JustyTurner's work such as limiting the harem members (What? Can't a guy also want to get the girls) and being less cliche by being, if you had read down below, it's my character being an edgy OC that you would be familiar with Shadow the Hedgehog or Spawn.
Either way, if you have anymore ideas, let me know in the comments below.
Now, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not one Konosuba and 'Konosuba X OP male reader: A hero's new beginning' by 'JustyTurner. They belong to their respective owners.
Enjoy.
Character Name: Kuro Naito
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Physical Appearance:
Kuro is of average height, standing around 5'9". He has an athletic build, a result of years of training as an assassin. His skin is lightly tanned, a stark contrast to his jet-black hair that falls messily over his forehead, reaching just past his ears. His dark, piercing eyes seem to hold a depth of experiences far beyond his age, often giving off a cold and calculating vibe. He typically wears dark, form-fitting clothing suited for stealth—usually a blend of high-collared tunics and tactical pants, accented with leather armor that allows for ease of movement. A hood often covers his head, casting shadows over his face, further enhancing his mysterious aura.
Personality Traits:
Kuro is cold and pragmatic, often prioritizing efficiency over emotions. He possesses a jaded outlook on life, shaped by his experiences as an assassin; he views the world through a lens of skepticism and caution. With a keen intellect and cunning nature, Kuro can think several steps ahead of his enemies, making him a formidable strategist. Despite his ruthless nature, he has a noble heart buried deep within him, revealed in the moments he chooses to protect the innocent, a trait that drives him to save the child, ultimately costing him his life. His cynicism often manifests in quick, dark humor, and he tends to be blunt, often clashing with optimistic individuals like Kazuma and Aqua.
Background:
Born on Earth, Kuro grew up in a rough environment where survival meant learning how to navigate a world filled with danger. Orphaned at a young age, he was taken in by a shadowy organization that trained him in the arts of assassination and stealth. Over the years, he became one of the most skilled assassins in the organization but was increasingly haunted by his actions and the morality of his profession.
One fateful day, after successfully completing a high-profile assassination, Kuro witnessed a child about to be run over by a speeding truck. In a moment of clarity and a growing conscience, he decided to intervene, saving the child but paying the ultimate price with his own life. This act of selflessness plays a key role in his rebirth.
Afterlife Encounter:
Upon awakening in the afterlife, Kuro finds himself alongside Kazuma Satou, whose initial demeanor brings Kuro slight annoyance, but he later recognizes qualities in Kazuma he didn't expect to appreciate. He is soon confronted by Aqua, who, while entertaining, leaves Kuro feeling slightly exasperated by her antics. Nocturne, the Goddess of Darkness, is intrigued by Kuro's stoic nature and practicality. She recognizes his potential and crowns him as her champion, granting him the ability to manipulate shadows and darkness.
New Abilities:
As Nocturne's champion, Kuro gains impressive powers over shadows. He can not only teleport between spaces using shadows but also wield the darkness to forge weapons like large, sharp shadow swords or firearms reminiscent of those from Earth. These weapons blend practicality with style, allowing him to become a stylishly deadly force in the new world. His combat skills, combined with his unique set of abilities, mark him as both a shadowy protector and a harbinger of misfortune for his enemies.
Role in the Adventure:
Kuro teams up with Kazuma, Aqua, and other future companions on a quest to defeat the demon king, all while navigating the complexities of friendship, morality, and his newfound responsibilities. As he grapples with his dark past and aims to act in the best interests of the world, Kuro serves as a wild card—his ruthless pragmatism often leading to morally ambiguous decisions that break the norms of typical heroism. Nonetheless, he becomes a key player in the group's evolution, reminding them that sometimes the path to salvation requires a touch of darkness.
