The Light in Abyss【OC Story】✵The Eminence in Shadow✵

Chapter 1 - The Light and Shadow

A hero who isn't what he seems to be, that's the type of hero I want to become. A hero who's shrouded in mystery, with intentions contradicting the mindsets of the personas that he has created. You heard that right, I want to be a hero that encompasses the righteous heart of the good with the unadulterated mind of the twisted.

You must be wondering, why would I become a hero like that? A ruthless hero? A hero that almost acts like a villain? Isn't that weird and cringe? Well, let me answer that question for you.

Shut the fuck up.

Regular heroes are boring nowadays. They spout heroic nonsense, beats up the bad guys, get the heroine, all that shmizzle. And I don't want to be part of that mainstream term of a "hero". Ugh, just thinking about becoming someone like that pisses me off.

The hero I want to be is one who can toy with both the mediums of good and evil. One who brings justice to those who oppress and bring calamity to people's lives without being soft about it. A rational hero who doesn't hesitate to reign judgment on those who deserve it. Either do it in a good way or the bad way...

I want to be the hero who serves true justice. You get what you deserve after all. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, you kill so be killed, you torture so be tortured.

Whatever bad act you did, I will return that sentiment in full. Never a partial, but the whole fill.

But that's merely a dream I'm after.

You see, I have a desire. A desire spurred from an experience of mine. But... you are not yet worthy to know my desire. So know your place and enjoy that show that I'm giving to you right now.

Now, let's talk about my past life for a bit.

.

.

In school, I was what you call an exemplary and popular student. I had the grades, the fitness, the popularity, I had it all when I was in high school.

But that was just a facade. 

Those things were nothing compared to what I am deep inside. Rather, those were nothing compared to the exhilarating persona that I created.

In the day I was an honor student, but at night, I was a twisted crazy vigilante. 

Following my dream of becoming my own twisted vision of a hero, I scoured through the lawless parts of my city hoping to exact justice upon those who bring tragedy to the innocent. I trained myself at night, working myself to the bone, pushing the limits of my abilities, all for the sake of becoming an unsuspecting ruthless valiant hero of my own accord.

I learned several forms of martial arts, assassination techniques, hideous torture methods, gunplay arts, and interrogation tactics, all to equip myself with the necessary toolset to become the hero that I envisioned. I became stronger, faster, smarter, at times my stats even became inhuman. But that was a good thing, the rate at that I progressed wasn't what you call human after all, and having those overpowered qualities would only help me in my endeavors to become the hero of my dreams

And indeed I did, after two years of working myself to the bone, I became what you call a specialist in all fields. Night after night, I exact my unadulterated justice onto fiends.
