Xon, a young teen seemingly born into poverty, is forced to fight everyday to survive, to live a life of struggles and violence if he wants to discover the reason for his birth. One day, unexpectedly, he runs into the person who will kickstart his j...
Xon awakens from his sleep, immediately inflating his aura and reinforcing his body so he can move. He sits up and notices that its a little easier to move compared to the previous day. He looks around, there isn't a singular way to tell how much time has passed. He gets out of bed and exits his room. A man sits outside in the general area, and they make eye contact briefly. The man stands up and walks towards Xon. The man was tall and well built, he himself had no presence yet Xon was weary. The man had black hair in an unkempt messy low ponytail with black eyes darker than the void itself. The man's eyes widen briefly, as if he was shocked awake.
???: "Sorry, I'm quite tired, My name's Xenon(Zen-un), what about you?"
Xon:" Xon, Do you know.. where this place is."
Xenon: "Well, It's home. This place is pretty empty since you just got here, and I was forced to come here for whatever reason."
Xon: "Okay, well, what do I do now? Now that I'm.. dead."
Xenon: "You sound like you died with regrets kid. Unfortunately for you I don't have much time before I have to return to my post. So to keep things short. You have two options. Live peacefully here in the community of souls that's been fostered here, or take up a position in the rulers ranks to quicken the speed of your reincarnation."
Xon: "Ren mentioned reincarnation. Will I lose my identity?"
Xenon: "Yes, forever. You'll never remember who you are, or rather who you used to be. So it's a good idea to disassociate with your current identity to prepare for it."
Xenon fastens his boots and puts on a black robe and leaves the building. Xon thinks about what to do next, panicking over the thought of losing himself. He quickly follows Xenon to wherever he goes hoping to learn more, he briefly glances at the text engraved in the metal plate above the buildings door, "Tsurin," before continuing his pursuit. Xon struggles to keep up with Xenon, hoping to follow behind without being noticed. If he drags on for too long, He'll run out of aura to move his body. Xenon traverses far through the city, before stopping in front of a lone pillar, he places his hand on the pillar and a portal opens beside it. Xon can't follow any further without being detected. He shouts out as a final plea.
Xon: "Xenon!"
He turns around, glaring briefly at Xon."
Xenon: "What, are you interested is joining the rulers ranks?"
Xon thinks shortly, unsure how to answer.
Xon: "Yes!"
Xenon: "Then hurry over here before the portal closes."
Xon rushes towards the portal, and they both enter. It brings them to the opening of a massive hole in the ground.
Xenon: "We're about to enter purgatory. Before we go i'll explain the underworlds structure. There are 3 layers, we are currently in the highest layer, the underworld, which houses normal souls."
Xenon: "We're about to drop to the 3rd layer, The Purgatory, where all the condemned souls are punished for their crimes against humanity. It is there, and only there where we can access the 2nd layer, The rulers layer, only accessible via a single pillar found in purgatory.
