This Is How I Become Death.
Hopeless boy
Narrator: Xiao, a lonely orphan, lost his parents in a brutal assassination attempt. Though he survived, he lost all hope for living.
[Flashback: A starving 10-year-old Xiao sits in the dark, weak and lifeless.]
Narrator: On his 10th birthday, the Saint of Hidden Light appeared before him. Xiao looked so pathetic, barely seen as human — he hadn’t eaten in three weeks.
[The Saint kneels beside him, eyes filled with sympathy.]
Narrator: The Saint took pity and adopted him, teaching him martial arts and discipline.
[Present day: Xiao, now 15, stands in a quiet clearing, katana in hand.]
Xiao
(thinking): After all these years of training… I still feel powerless
[He slashes the katana through the air, movements sharp but heavy with frustration.
Narrator:Despite five years of effort, Xiao only knows how to wield the katana. His true power has yet to awaken.
Narrator: But Xiao refuses to give up. Somewhere deep inside, he believes his true power is waiting to awaken.
The unexpected Encounter. Episode 2
[Xiao lowers his katana, chest rising and falling with heavy breaths. The evening breeze rustles the trees, carrying away the echo of his strikes.]
Xiao
(thinking): No matter how hard I train… the gap between me and the others never shrinks.
[Suddenly, a cheerful voice breaks the silence.]
[Xiao turns sharply. A girl with flowing pink hair and bright eyes walks toward him, her presence lighting up the quiet clearing.]
Xiao
(thinking): Lian… why is she here? She’s the most popular girl in the sect.
Lian
(smiling): I’ve been watching you for a while. The way you train, the way you don’t give up… it’s amazing.
Lian
(softly): I think you’re… interesting.
[Xiao’s eyes widen. He grips the katana tighter, heart thudding in his chest.]
Xiao
(thinking): Interesting? Me? I’m just a weak orphan clinging to survival…
[Lian steps closer, her eyes sparkling with determination.]
Lian
Xiao… would you like to be my boyfriend?
[Xiao freezes. His breath catches. The weight of her words feels heavier than his blade. For the first time in years, his lonely heart trembles.]
Xiao
(thinking): A proposal… from her? Why me…?
