Chapter 1: Eternal Slumber

"Please....*cough*.....spare me" a man at death's door whose coughing with a blood is begging in front of me. Normally, one should kneel down when they beg, but this man is exceptional cuz I've literally detached his legs from his body.

"I- I will give anything you want..j-just state it...money? power? influence?....I'll grant it for you, please....just spare my life!!!" he said with a apparent fear with despair on his face...But I didn't give a care and only looked down upon him while begging for his life.

" Money? Power? Influence? who gives a fuck about that!! I only came here for one and sole reason, and that is to dispose the trash in front of me" I answered upon him with a blank eyes. After he heard those words, he fall into deeper despair realizing that I have no intention to spare his life.

" Bye then, 'Mr. respected rapist Minister"

"Wai-"

*swoosh*

A slashing sound resonated inside a room, together with a rain of blood came from the headless body in front of me.

" Trash has been disposed" with those words escaped from my lips, I joined the darkness as my figure disappeared within the shadows.

And at that night, a news spread from the whole country. The famous Minister with his more than 100 guards...got brutally killed inside of his own mansion. It is said that, only expert killers can only do such a things cuz according to the investigation, not a single of trace has left, only a dead bodies and a pool of blood.

"Your last and final mission has been accomplished, ' Murasame Rihito'...congratulations"

A man with a short beared at his mid 30s extended his hand to offer a hanshakes.

'Murasame Rihito', that is the name given to me, and yes...I'm an assassin affiliated with this man called "Hoga Konya". Aside from his role as the head of a famous Yakuza, he is also my owner.

Exactly, my owner. 'Why' you ask? Cuz my life, has ended 8 years ago. When my whole family got killed in front of my very own eyes. I'm still a child at that time, and doesn't have any will to protect them.

My father got tortured in front of me, while my mother got raped with a 4 bastards...it's as if, my parents are toys upon their eyes. They took their time toying and torturing them....and the only thing that I did...is to watch them suffer till their death..

After they killed my parents, they left me alived, full of despair. It is only to slap through my face that I'm way too weak and can't do anything. Before they left, a certain guy left me a word " Thanks for the meal, kiddo" with a mocking tone.

Thus that day, I swear upon the graves of my family, that one day, I'll give them the most painfull death that they deserved.

After that, a man called Hoga Konya appeared in front of me and gave me the word " If you seek for revenge, I'll help you to achieve it"

That day, I considered my self no longer alive.

" I'm ready to get killed, and I'm ready to kill"

I'll kill anyone who stand on my way, no matter who it is.

Hoga-san put me in a hellish training, no one can imagine the training I've gone through just for my vengeance, and that pain paid me off.

I've acquired the things that I need, and earned my title as, " Rihito, the Phantom"

Mr. Hoga assisted me and I also entrusted him my life, and did a lot of requests from him, its a win-win.

But there is one promised that need for both us to carry out no matter what, and that is-

" When I have achieved my desired vengeance, I will end my own life"

Although he hesitated, he agreed after clarifying my reasons. Just as I said, the real ' Me' is no longer within this world, the only one making this body to move, is my desire to collect a very huge debt.

And even after I've accomplished my vengeance, it doesn't still change the fact the my life isn't worth to proceed anymore. I have killed countless of innocent people just to get what I want. They only did their job, it's a shame they risked their lives just to protect a 'piece of trash'.

" I know that no matter what I say, It'll be pointless" a surrowfull face emerged in Hoga-san

" Yes, Hoga-san. Thanks for everything, I'll bring this ' Debt of gratitude ' even in my grave. I'm so glad that I've got to meet you, I thank you from the bottom of my heart "

I bowed as I said those words, I really mean it, although I don't have the right to say this but, I've cared him just how I've cared for my own father.

"Nnn" all he does is nod with a regretfull expression. He reached me a piece of capsule medicine with a plain brown colored.

" Take this. I've prepared this for your peaceful and eternal slumber, Rihito. Thanks for everything, and goodbye."

After hearing this words, My eyes gotten itchy, but I ceased myself and just reached the capsule on his hand. I bowed before I left, as ' Goodbye ' run through my head.

**** ****

Sitting in a dark and and familiar place, the memories I've got 8 years ago, slowly coming back to me. In my hand is a piece of capsule, and I know that after I consume this, everything will come to an end.

Ahhhhh...at last.....after a long time of waiting, I can now ' Rest in Peace '

Everything started in this place , and this is where it'll ends.

"Mother, Father, justice have been met. please wait for me, I'm coming."

together with those words, I've consumed the medicine, and my eternal slumber has begun.

And at that day, the famous " Rihito the Phantom" vanished forever in that world.
