The Eminence's Journey In A World Of Eroge

A Beginning of an Eminence

Power.

It was one of the things what Minoru sought. In order to achieve his true, lifelong dream of surpassing human limitations, to become something more.

And to surpass human limitations, he began training, learning fighting techniques, becoming stronger than most average athletes.

He strived to become the Eminence in Shadow. The man who hunts the shadows, while being the shadows. This man was undefeated, truly.

A super secret agent that works only for himself, and said super secret agent could survive the blast of a Nuclear Bomb like Superman, or some cockroach with plot armor.

The only problem was, reality proved that it was completely impossible.

So what did Minoru do?

He searched for ways to obtain magic and kindly paid for it with his life, and it was probably his, and the Truck's fault.

He opened his eyes after he died, feeling very small as he looked around.

Someone was holding him close to her arms, looking incredibly happy. At least.

She had black hair, and although she had equally black eyes, she looked very tired.

'Where am I? Why do I feel so small?'

Looking around a little more, he noticed a man looking incredibly frustrated over something.

But, like an expert people reader, he realized that old guy was very frustrated over him.

"Fucking hell! Toss that kid away, you whore! He's just an addition to our problems!" This man spoke, before slapping his mother.

And it felt quite strange to feel worry about someone like the woman that just gave birth to him. She was distressed as she held on tightly to her child.

But because of the presence of magic, our protagonist began to immediately sense, and manipulate it.

"N-no! This boy, this boy is my child, not yours! If I had to give out my life, then I'll take you to hell with me!" His mother rebuked, holding out her arm forwards and casting some form of wind spell.

While weak, it managed to blow him away at a considerable distance.

"My son.... Please live!" His mother whimpered out, wrapping him in a comfortable piece of clothing before casting a barrier spell on him.

To put it short, his mother died, and his father will soon die because of immense bleeding.

'Mother, I pray that you have a safe afterlife.' Minoru had silently prayed to whatever God that existed in this world, before deciding something else.

While he was on a deeper part of a street between buildings, he can't just randomly survive here using magic.

Simply put, a future Eminence in Shadow like him could not merely die due to something insignificant as dying before the age of 1.

It's very humiliating, you know?

That's why he had decided to immediately learn magic all by himself, in order to begin moving towards a safer place.

Of course, it is to cry for help, that somebody, aka. a family of background characters to raise him.

Once he was in an alleyway, he decided it was time.

"Waaaah! Waaah!"

Minoru cried loudly, for several minutes until a middle aged man with his supposed daughter passed by him.
