There once was a boy who was born from the blossom of a contract. He has never felt what a family nor love is. For those supposed families, they called him a monster or a curse. So they left him, abandoned him, like he was nothing at all.

At the age of 3, he was raised in an orphanage. Although there may be a lot of children to play with, he was alone as none of them would want to associate with him and he himself preferred to be alone.

7 years later, one day, the owner of the orphanage called him to his office. As he opened the door, he was greeted by the smiling face of a fat man they called father. The man was a father figure to the children as he took care of them, giving them things that a family should have, but for the poor boy, he never thought of a man like them. He thinks the man is nothing but a fat pervert, making the children believe he loves them, yet his goal was different.

Why? Because he caught this man trying to harass a girl of his age, before she died from an illness as they said, but the cause wasn't that, other than being killed by the same man in front.

"I heard you're having a hard time. Come here, my little prince. Let papa comfort you." He said with such a disgusting look on his face, the boy can tell what this man is going to do and he won't let it happen.

He took a few steps towards the man's table where he saw a few things being placed. "How about you come and sit in papa's lap?" He stated, but the boy didn't follow, which made the man angry.

"Don't be a bad boy and listen to papa!" the fat man disgustingly smiled, but instead of getting scared by the man's threatening voice he looked at him with a face no one had ever seen before.

"Huh?! You want me to sit on your lap, you ugly fat man? Holy sh*t! HAHAHAHA" he laughed and laughed like a psychopath, making the man tremble in fear.

"You really wanna die then!" The boy's eyes shifted into piercing ones, and now raising his hand a bit to his face a small knife was found. "I know what you did to that girl, you raped her, you killed her and covered everything like it was nothing. You're raising these children for your own pleasure. Now you're doing the same thing to me?!"

The boy wasn't as ordinary as they thought he was. He was just a small lad, but he's totally at another level. He huffed in excitement. This was the first time he felt this kind of emotion. He was too excited to push the knife right on the man. "Not a chance!"

Before the man could run, he gripped his head like he was not heavy and banged it on the wall hard. He did all of those with the same smile on his face.

"S-spare my life!" The fat man cried out loud. No one was awake at the moment and the office was quite far from the children's room and the other volunteers'.

"Spare your life? Did you spare her?" The boy asked. Now he wasn't smiling, but he was angry as hell.

"The next time we'll meet..." He got closer to the man's ears and finished what he was about to say.

"...It would be hell"

And that was the end as he sliced the man's throat. Blood was gushing all over the place, all over him.

Lix's POV

'Where am I?', my head hurts, which made me groan in pain.

"Oh, are you finally awake?"

I immediately opened my eyes to find the same red-haired guy on the top of the building. "Hi!" He smiled and waved his hand.

I had a lot on my mind at the moment. Questions I wanted to ask him but I was too tired and I was getting dizzier. The man got up from the chair he was sitting on and came up to me. Slowly I felt his warm hands on my forehead, before he slowly guided my body back down to the mattress.

"Rest for a bit, I know you have a lot to ask" I nodded a bit and relaxed. I looked around the room and everything screamed fancy. So these guys might be rich.

"Hey..." I called him and he just hummed in response. He was back on his chair with a cup of tea in his hand. "Why did you save me?"

He first took a sip of the tea before placing it back down on the table in front of him. He looked at me and smiled. "Because I wanted to. When I found you, I felt a connection with you. You were just the same as me and I think you could help me with something..."

"And why should I believe that?!"

"Because I know who you are." My eyes widened in surprise. He laughed a bit and stood up once more. Going towards the window and opened the curtains, letting the sunlight come in. So it's morning already?!

"Your name is Lix, right? You're an orphan, you don't have a place to go or anything to live for." Silence engulfed the whole room.

Why does it hurt to hear those words from him? So what if he knows me? Does he really need to punch it out of my face?

"But this information will all be changed once you help me..." I raised my head and looked at him confused by his words. "If you help me, you can have a place to live, food to eat, a reason to live and a family."

"F-family?"

"Yes, a family! So do you want it? Or do you still want to die?"

He went towards the door and turned the knob to open it. He looked at me and smiled once more. By this time, tears were running down my face. I never knew this day would come, to hear that word from a total stranger. But then he saved me! He wants to help me!

"I can help you darling!" As he was about to go, I stopped him by standing up and running towards him only for me to stumble down, but he was quick enough to catch me. His face was so close that it made me a bit nervous. He's really handsome though. Wait, this isn't the time for that!

"W-wait! I'll do it, I'll do anything for you! Help me!"

Placing his hand on my face, he traced the flowing tears and wiped them off. "There's no need to cry."

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Call me Sam."

"S-sam!"

He smiled and giggled a bit, which definitely did something to me. My heart is beating twice faster than before. He helped me up and guided me out of the room towards the staircase where below were more than a hundred armed men looking at us.

"Welcome to the family, Lix."

I was taken back a bit as all of them bowed down at us or more like him.

"It's gonna be hard along the way, but once you'll know them. You might be able to call them family"
