Marked for Death! Raizen's Vow of Vengeance

Chapter 16 – Marked for Death! Raizen's Vow of Vengeance!

The Morning After – A Village in Mourning

The sun rose over the village, but there was no peace.

A deep sorrow hung in the air.

Kairo stood motionless before his father's grave.

His hands were clenched into fists. His mind burned with rage and confusion.

His best friend— his brother in battle— had betrayed him.

The village gathered in silence.

Then, the elders and higher-ups arrived.

Raizen – A Rogue Warrior!

The village elder, Satoru, stepped forward.

"Raizen has committed the greatest crime."

His voice was grave.

"He has murdered our leader. He has forsaken our home."

A warrior beside him stepped forward.

"As of today," he declared, "Raizen is marked as a Rogue Warrior."

"His punishment—death."

The village whispered in shock.

A Rogue Warrior was the worst fate imaginable.

It meant exile. No home. No allies. A hunted man.

Kairo didn't speak.

But inside, his blood boiled.

"Raizen…" he thought. "You will pay for this."

Raizen's Hideout – A Path of Vengeance!

Far from the village, deep in the mountains…

Raizen stood alone.

His eyes burned with fury. His heart pounded with determination.

"They call me a traitor?" he muttered. "They call me a Rogue?"

He gritted his teeth.

"The real traitors… are the ones who stood beside Kairo's father."

He looked at his own reflection in a nearby river.

His mind replayed the moment when he learned the truth.

His brother, Daizen, was killed because he discovered a dark secret.

A secret so dangerous… that the village killed him for it.

And now—

Raizen was going to uncover that secret.

Raizen's Vow! The Village Will Burn!

Raizen looked toward the village.

"I will not run. I will not hide."

His eyes were cold. Unforgiving.

"I will destroy that village."

"I will kill every warrior who helped Kairo's father."

"And I will find out the real reason my brother died."

His beast spirit, the Thunder Wolf, howled beside him.

Lightning crackled in the sky.

"This is my path now," Raizen whispered.

"I will become stronger."

"I will become unstoppable."

"And when I return… I will show them the true meaning of revenge."

Kairo's Rage – A Promise of Retribution!

Back in the village, Kairo stood before the council.

His heart was heavy. His soul was burning.

"I will hunt Raizen down myself," he said.

His voice was cold. Unshaken.

The elders looked at him.

Satoru spoke.

"You are still grieving, Kairo. Your emotions may cloud your judgment."

Kairo's eyes burned.

"This isn't about emotions," he said.

"This is about justice."

He turned, walking toward the exit.

As he left, he whispered to himself—

"Raizen… I will find you. And when I do, I will end this myself."
