My name is Reborn, a freelance in the dark world called mafia. I started in age of twenty-four to start my living. I don't really remember how I learn many things such as using gun, combat and many dangerous weapons, I just know them, for that reason I used my knowledge in order to live. I do what people hired me to do, every dangerous work I take it, not like someone will miss me so I didn't really care how things will end but in the end it work up well. More and more dangerous work, more and more clean success to the point in age of twenty-eight I gain the title the number one hitman in the whole world.

I didn't mind about the title, I quite proud of it and used it for more living and earning money. But for some reason, I don't feel anything within me, like the title is nothing to me.

There are many mysteries in my life that even I can't figure it out. One is already about my skills, for some reason I know there should be more of it than meet in the eye but I don't remember them. Second is my past, I live alone ever since, I live in solitude with no one there for me and used to steal food for living. Three is my things, I don't know how I got them, I don't remember stealing them either I just have them, the clothes, the accessory, books and even this fedora that I can't let go at all. Fourth is the word 'Dying Will', I know it means your own resolve but I don't remember where I had learn the word, for some reason there is more than just a word but no matter how much I try, I can't remember at all. Last is family, I do not understand why I know too much about family when as far as I remember I never gain one, I don't even remember where I came from, just the street, steal and survival.

I have no one to talk about this, not like I have any close friends I could talk to. I do have few but only for needed and work like Timoteo the Vongola Nono, Trident Shamal and more connection for information. I always try to sort them whenever I'm alone in my small apartment since I never needed a big one but in the end I can't find any clues to solve this mystery. As time goes by, I learn to give up and just move forward.

A time came when a mysterious person came to my apartment. I don't know who he is and how he found out my place. I became cautious as I point my gun to him, a person with an iron mask. Deep within me I know I should know this person but I kept dismissing this feeling and kept my passive as to know how he found me. He gave me a note before suddenly vanishing on sight which I don't know how he did that. Cautious I took the note and open it, it's all about gathering a strongest seven to do the work.

Strongest Seven... should I know what it means? Why do I feel like I should know them? My mind says I don't but why is my heart... I shook my head aggressively and turn myself to the mirror to stare at myself. Ever since I started as a freelance many questions flood to my mind, I can't let this continue, I can't let this feeling hindrance my work and my life.

And so I decide to close my heart, to lock the mysteries I kept asking and everything that will come to my way.

I turn to my pet chameleon who is staring back. I remember he came out from an egg inside the box. I don't know why but for some reason this animal became attach to me, same for me to him and so I kept him. Every time my pet is with me, for some reason it calms me, like I am not a dark person at all. I still wonder how I got him but whatever is the reason, I'm so glad to have him by my side.

Whatever this is, I accepted the invitation and met the other seven. The kind looking girl and pregnant Luce, the COMSUBIN instructor Lal Mitch, a Chinese martial artist Fon, the scientist Verde, the Esper Viper and the stuntman Skull.

Something bugs me about them but learn to keep and ignore them. I no longer need questions, I can't let it interfere me.

As time goes by working with them, for some reason I grown attach to them but of course I never voice it out. I even took Skull as my lackey since he's weak and out of all of them, I became the strongest too. There are times they ask me how I became this strong and only told them because I am born with talent which in truth, I don't know and I don't remember.
