Zen, when he was 14 years old, he was nearly killed by a bully named Benedict.
"Oh, no parents to save you? no daddy and mommy coming? how sad but since no one is looking around, I'm here to finish you down" Benedict flexed his hands and hardly punched Zen to the stomach.
A small amount of blood spatters from Zen's
"Go on, cry you filthy dog!" Benedict pushed Zen down to the ground.
But Zen didn't cry nor he didn't call for someone's help instead he stands up looking at Benedict's face seriously.
"What do you want?" Zen murmured
"Simple, just die." Benedict replied, raging his anger to Zen.
"Why do you hate me so much?" Zen asked, gripping.
"Cause I'm sick of you"
"It's that it?"
"No one deserves to live a life like you, you are worthless."
"No, I'm-"
A sudden explosion came from miles.
"What the- What was that!?"
Zen immediately escaped and ran towards the explosion where it occurred.
"Come back here!" Benedict shouted, but Zen already ran miles away from him.
Zen's heart pounded nervously.
It was then, Zen's home was destroyed.
"Mom! Dad!"
A group of body guards blocked Zen's way.
"Let me in! mom! dad!" He cried out
"Let him through" a voice commanded.
A man appeared, wearing formal attire, he is tall, has bright green eyes and short dark hair.
Zen approaches his parents dead body "Why!? Why should they do this?"
"They were killed by those military." A man said suddenly blamed the military, making story. "What's your name?"
"My name doesn't matter. Who are you and why're those military destroyed our house and killed my parents!?"
"Well kid, from this day forth you're now one of my servants." He smiled, ignoring the question.
"And what makes you think that I'll be your servant? what is your right?"
"You're a clever kid" the man was amazed by Zen's conversation "You don't want my offer? Okay then, but I should tell you this since your parents are now dead; you're gonna starve to death and ended up as homeless person scattering around looking for a way to live on. Such a waste."
He's right, I ended up dying, living alone depressingly
"I don't want to be homeless and I don't want to be your servant either!"
"Then be my guest, be my assistant, it's your choice to decide, not mine." The man walked away but he was stopped by Zen.
"Wait! I'll go." Zen finally made his decision.
"Master Sefro! There's an urgent call from the South Boarders." One of the bodyguards reported.
"Master Sefro?" Zen repeated.
"Yes, I'm Sefro, former executive of Nycto Legion. Now tell me, what is your name boy?"
"Zen" by means of change, a thought.
"Okay, Zen" Sefro confirmed.
"Respond to them as soon as possible, were taking this kid to his new home." Sefro said, starring at Zen where he lowered down to his parents covered dead body.
He was nearly killed by a bully, his home was destroyed by a military, his parents died by an unexpected explosion, no friend of help to call for. It was his darkest moment that happened to his life till then Sefro lended him a hand.
Goodbye mom and dad, rest in peace. I'll miss you.

"Why would you recruit a kid from Lorence's family? " Rinzo asked while sipping his favorite drink.
"Because he's an interesting one."
Rinzo starred at Sefro's face for a second "No wonder, you killed his parents and now your recruiting their son." He continually sipping.
Sefro smiled, he's the key to our future success.
And so, Sefro decided about Zen to be his official executive assistant of Nycto Legion.
----------
"Master Sefro!" Zen called out, approaching Sefro in the hallway.
" 'Sefro' is fine."
"But everyone calls you master, why?" Zen asked curiously.
"Because I'm the leader of the organization."
"Leader?"
"Yes" Sefro replied
"And what makes you a leader?"
"A leader has a power of responsibility, has mastered the art of balancing time and effort, has an ease of mind and a strong soul that prepares for anything comes within. Overall, has the ability to guide his fellow subordinates towards a successful path." Sefro explained "And that makes me a leader."
I see, a leader...
"I wanted to be a leader, a great master!" Zen was inspired by Sefro's words
"One day, kiddo, one day..."
