Chosen falls for a pirate. An Afterdeath fanfiction

Geno is a lonely thief, resident of a small sea village. His past is covered in darkness. Somehow he can't recall who he was or his parents. He only had his 2 younger brothers. But he lost them long ago in a pirate attack. Only he barely survived from the 3. Since then he became cold, close to himself and without someone to care, loosing even almost the ability to feel. Stuck in the island, he steals food to live. Everyday is almost the same, thinking he'll just rot and die here with no family. But fate had other plans for him

An old prophesy writes that he must go to the 'Tearful Cave'. Stories say that it keeps abandoned cursed treasures. That it's the gate for a kingdom deep down below. And that if he doesn't go, something terrible will happen as he had been seeing in his nightmares for years

And before he even realises it, he gets involved in a great adventure. But not alone, as he gets stuck with the Reapers, one of the most famous and fearsome pirate crews. Just great. Nothing worse than pirates. Geno hates them so much, sometimes he's surprised with himself

But as the time will pass, he'll realise that in this crew, everyone has an interesting story to tell of their lifes before becoming pirates. Unexpectedly with them he'll make the biggest friendships he could ever make, see new lands, face dangers and enemies. His associating with them, especially with an enigmatic priest, will teach him to cooperate, soften his hatred and anger, heal his broken soul, feel again solidarity and for the first time, he will fall in love

But through that adventure as he will travel, he will also discover himself, uncover the story of what happened long ago including his past, learn who he truly is, understand his connection with the kingdom in the depths, become even more determined to save the seas and the world and reach his destiny

But what if when an adventure ends in reality it's still at the beginning?
