The Devil is Alive
Vol: 2
Chapter 1: Change
Soni Izumi had been through a lot in her life.
Lost her parents when she was just 5 years old and being sold by her relatives at a brothel.
After turning 20 and saving enough money she ran away from the brothel and started living in the slum area of Gerasis city.
But history repeated itself again
As time passed by, all her savings got used up slowly-slowly. She tried to find any type of decent job but no matter where she tried, she was always assaulted by men's
And end up being a prostitute
It's not like she never tried to raise her voice, she tried but the only thing she got in return was beating from other people.
After all, in this world, no one cares for the poor. And that's the reason why that there is such a huge disparity between Rich/noble's and poor.
She accepted her harsh life and surrendered herself to her fate. She knew nothing will change so she only tried to survive in this jungle world
But
Everything changed when she met a kid, Blank (Michio)
A kid in ragged clothes and cloth wrapped around his head with a knife in his hand
Her first encounter was a horror as Blank killed a person in front of her, which showed just how close death is to her
After some more encounter, she comes to know one thing about Blank, that is, he doesn't kill because he wants to he kills because he has to, if not, then he loses control over himself
One more thing she got to know was that he is just too much strong and so far no matter whom she had met, no one was as strong as him
When the day, she was being beaten and raped, she again met Blank.
Soni Izumi, was sad at that time, hoping someone would give him shoulder to lean and listen to her story. But things didn't go that way
Blank just let her go and left the place.
It was ok, as she knew, Blank is just using her for his crimes nothing else. Neither is he so close to her that he would listen to her calls.
Even though Blank is a kid, Soni Izumi still wanted him to stay and listen to her. She just wanted someone.
But when she reach her home and took her bath, she saw Blank again inside her home. He took her somewhere and there she met those people who raped her.
And we all know the rest of the story
That night, Izumi knew that she has lost something but she also knew that she got something in return
For her whole life, she was the one who suffered, but after that one night, she knew that things will now change
After that night, Blank started training her and Izumi also started calling her as a master.
As time passed by and she got stronger with Blank's guidance, she started to realize that he has really come far.
She was no longer that timid girl who surrendered herself to her fate; she now had become someone who wanted to change her fate with her strength
And that's when Blank told her to find some people as he wants to make an organization
She nodded and followed his order
In her search she met various people, a lot of them had an arrogant attitude but she beat them all and only chooses those people who really wanted to be strong and who are loyal.
She also asked Blank what his organization's aim would be and in return, he said, "We will be completing people's requests. We ask for money equal to the amount of work we will do. And we will take the request of anyone, no matter who they are, rich, poor, noble, high-official, etc-etc"
At first, she thought Blank wanted to bring some change in the world but later she comes to know that he is not like that
He is the type of person who neither cares for good or bad, he just wants to do what he wants.
His principal is simple, "You don't come in my way and I won't bother you"
Izumi became sad form this but later Blank also added "I don't care what you do at your free time, but when you are doing work, be professional. After that, just do whatever you want"
What does this mean?
It means that they all are free to do whatever they want and he won't bother any of them, but if they tried to pull something during work, then be ready to pay the price.
It means that if Izumi wanted to go out and want her revenge on someone, she is free to do but not during work.
This made her really happy as, Blank not only will give them the strength to fight back, he will also give them the freedom which is not something you can expect when you work under someone so strong.
With this, many people were chosen, and finally, with 14 people, a new organization was established. Name: Grim Reaper
With 14 people working in it, 8 magicians, and 6 fighters
