Akira Sato, the current generation's king of killer is talking to his student Hirito. "You know what is coming don't you." Akira says. "I do master but why, why must i kill you?" Hirito asks in a saddened tone. "Because it is tradition, because that way i can die in honor instead of in vain." Akira said in a slightly aggressive way. "Listen Hirito i also had to kill my master. But the smile on his face told me that this made him happier than i had ever seen it." Hiroto doesn't want to kill his master but he also wants to fulfill his master's final wish.
On the day of the ceremonial dual before the two go up to the platform they once more speak to each other. This time however, not as master and student. This time they speak as a father and son.
The ceremonial dual of inheritance is a massive event in the underworld where the whole underworld pays a final respect to the king of killers and greets the new king of killers.
They go up to the fighting arena and start their final fight. The exchange blows each blow harder and more accurate than the previous one. Many martial artists come to this event just so they can see a fight at the peak of martial arts. After an hour of battling Akira let's his guard down and Hirito quickly pierces his heart with his fist. "You did that on purpose didn't you?" Hirito said holding back his tears as he didn't want his master to see him like this in his final moments. "So what if i did?" Akira says with the a smile so big you would forget he's about to die. The two smile at each other once more as the light in Akira's eyes slowly fades away.
Akira wakes up again in a white seemingly endless space with nothing but a small table and two cups of tea. "Why don't you join me, young man." Akira hears an old man with long white hair and white clothes say.
"Who are you and where am i?" Akira says slightly annoyed but mainly confused. "I will explain it to you. But please join me first." The old man says in a gentle tone.
Akira decides to take him up on his offer and positions himself in lotus position since he had felt most comfortable in that position when he was alive. "Then again am i even dead?" He thinks about if for a bit. "I can assure you that you are." The old man suddenly says. Shocked by the fact that the old man read his mind he jokingly says "What are you, God?" "I am and i will start explaining why you are here." God then goes on to explain how ever since the first king of killers he decided he wanted to repay them for what they did. Even if they didn't know it they brought balance to God's world by killing of people who had disrupted it. He then explained that as a thanks for what they did they would be granted a new life and three wishes.
Akira was taken aback by this for two reasons. First because it felt surreal, second because this was almost like the plot of an anime Hirito once made him watch in their free time. Akira thinks about it for a while and before deciding his wishes he asks god what kind of world it was. God says to him "it is a world with magic like in some of those anime's you used to watch." Slightly embarrassed Akira decides on his wishes.
"i would like to have the sharingan like in naruto, a talent for magic and the most importantly i would like to have a loving family." God was slightly touched by this seeing that the person who looked like a cold blooded killer to the outside world still had a human side to him, one which he showed only to the ones he cared about.
God agrees to his wishes and sends him of to his new life ,but not before reminding him with a smile that in this life he is free to do whatever he wants.
Akira only has a few seconds to process all that has happened before he is greeted by a couple of maids and a man and woman who seem to be his parents. "He looks beautiful miss Aiko." One of the maids says. "Thank you, but can you please leave me and my husband to enjoy this moment privately?" The woman says in a gentle voice."yes madam" the maids say as they leave. Akira could tell they were rich by the surroundings and the maids, but could also tell they weren't arrogant by the tone of voice the woman named Aiko was using."Hello Akira." He hears a man say. "Wait how do they know my name" Akira thinks about it for a bit before coming to the conclusion God probably has something to with this.
They spend a few minutes together and Akira learns that the man's name is Daisuke. They seem to be a noble family and seeing as there were no other kids he assumed that he was the oldest son and thus the heir.
The next months were pretty boring for Akira since he couldn't really do anything but once he could walk the house would become a lot more fun. Well for him, not for the maids and his mother who were constantly worried about where he was. That was until they learned he would always go the library to get books. Obviously he couldn't read them but he was trying. So as a way to help him and themselves his parents asked one of the maids to read the books for him. Akira was an extremely talented kid who could do all kinds of things kids his age shouldn't be doing. This was obviously due to his knowledge from his previous life but only he and god know that.
