Chapter 1

The morning wind blew gently, blowing a strand of hair of a boy who was practicing martial arts.

His movements were slow, gentle, and elegant. With a wooden sword in his hand, it danced slowly. He was a handsome boy, with the charismatic aura of a warrior.

In the middle of his practice, he heard an old man call his name. "Yuezheng! It's time for breakfast!" he called, which naturally stopped the boy from practicing.

"Yes, uncle! I'll be there!" replied the boy, or by his name, Yuezheng, Shen Yuezheng. He then put down the sword in his hand and took steps back to his uncle's house.

Yes, Yuezheng is an orphan who lives with his father's brother, aka his uncle.

Yuezheng is a boy from the Shen family, a family whose name has long been forgotten. Although he is only eight years old, His self-defense skills can be said to be quite satisfactory.

His uncle was not a warrior, but his uncle had some knowledge of martial arts, which he used to teach his nephew.

With the serenity of the morning atmosphere in the middle of the forest, doing something energetic like martial arts training is very enjoyable.

They were not just the two of them, there was also his uncle's wife there. Even though they could not have biological children, Yuezheng alone was enough to make the small family alive.

Yuezheng has a bright and cheerful personality. He always smiles— Despite the... quite dire circumstances. Fear? Sadness? Anger? Nothing. Which, of course, makes him seem even more dangerous.

But don't worry, Yuezheng is a good and obedient boy. If he does something wrong, he'll apologize and try to make it right. He's a good boy, very good. Like a fallen angel.

However, have you ever wondered why the Shen Family seemed to disappear without a trace, leaving only Yuezheng, his uncle and his uncle's wife behind?

Yuezheng has a somewhat odd, yet... quite logical, personality. If he loves something, he'll do anything to get it. And if he hates something, he'll eliminate it at will.

Hopefully that's enough to help you.

The three of them lived in the middle of the forest with mountains all around, to avoid them.

Thankfully they are fine, their lives are running smoothly, without any obstacles or disturbances. Every morning, Yuezheng would go out after finishing getting ready for training, or helping his uncle hunt and find other necessities.

One day, while Yuezheng was practicing behind the house, he heard some strange noises inside. Curious, Yuezheng went inside to check it out.

Jab— SPLASSHHH!

Blood splattered before his eyes, and something seemed to roll off the floor. A head. Yuezheng's eyes widened, cold sweat pouring from his forehead.

He took a step back, his legs still shaking violently. He accidentally bumped into someone from behind, which naturally shocked him to death.

"Ahh!" he exclaimed, shocked.

"Oh, hmm? A kid? Wow, I didn't expect the Shen Family to have a son! Well, you're just a pest in the end. How annoy—" Before the man could kill Yuezheng, someone stopped him. "Stop."

A man, who was even more terrifying than the previous killer. "What? Why? Aren't we supposed to kill him?" asked the man.

“That’s because—” since they were wasting time by arguing, Yuezheng took the opportunity to defend himself.

Without wasting any time, he lowered his head, took the knife that was under him, and then—

Crash!!!!! "AAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!"

"?! You damn brat!!" the assassin cursed, then took out his sword and prepared to attack Yuezheng. Unfortunately, his agility, dexterity, and skill were no match for Yuezheng.

Yuezheng nimbly avoided every attack from the assassins, until one of the assassins managed to injure Yuezheng.

Splashh!

Annoyed. Yuezheng's calm bluish-green pupils shrank. He, who had previously been as human as a child, now felt as if a demon had entered his soul. "Bastard..."

Tuk— DUAGHHH!

Yuezheng in his madness attacked the group of assassins brutally, without mercy or sympathy.

Armed with only a dagger, he stabbed and slashed them with his small body. Screams of agony echoed throughout the forest, the assassins felt a sense of dread.

Finally, he managed to defeat the group of experienced adults. Blood was splattered everywhere, with a small child in the middle...

And satisfaction...
