This world is like ancient China, I landed in a village called Fuuri. Since a kid can’t have a huge mansion from the start, I took the form of a child and slept on the streets. It’s been three weeks since I began sleeping on the streets, on this day a man came to me with a boy following behind he and asked me to come live with him. I agreed right away, if he tried to do anything I’ll just kill him an leave.
By the way the reason why no one wanted to take me in is because I’m completely covered with mud from head to toe, I did this so nobody can see how beautiful my skin is. I also covered my clear and beautiful black eyes with my hair so all they could see was a mud covered child, when we got to the man’s house his wife was complaining about him bringing two more children into the house.
He introduced us to a kid named Hyou and asked him to show us the way things walked around the house, he took us down the river and told us about him not wanting to be a slave forever and will fight for his destiny and the other kid, Shin said that we will become great generals. Hyou smiled happily and I laughed joyfully. I took off my clothes and headed to the river to take a bath while the both of the stood by the riverbed and talked, I soon finished with my bath and came out of the water.
When I looked up to the boys, they were staring at me with wide eyes and in a stupor. I called them a few times before Hyou ran off and came back later with a mask in his hand and handed it to me saying
Hyou: never take off this mask or your fate will be worst than death
I wore the mask ever since and did take it off even when we were together training, shin has an amazing strength for his age, but I still beat the living daylight out of them.
We’ve been training for 3 years now, we are 14th this year. I stopped training with shin and Hyou and am doing a one handstand at the side when suddenly a man in his 40s with a robe for nobles came to us, shin who was pissed from losing stared at him like delinquent and was pulled away by Hyou. The man asked a few questions and the main one was why we were training so hard, to which Shin and Hyou made the stupid pose they invented and say they are training to become a great general.
The man started to laugh and shin got pissed
Shin: why are you laughing?
Amon: cause you pose was stupid
Shin: what’d you say?
The man left after words, when we went home later that day the man was at our house and wanted to take Hyou to be a servant at the royal palace. The night we wished Hyou all the best and he set out in a carriage. For the nest few weeks I spared with shin and on this night I went to deliver something to the old blacksmith on the village chef order and when I came back I saw Hyou and the village chef and his family’s body laying on the floor, I didn’t care for the chef and his family. I carried Hyou body and buried it at the back of the house, after doing that I summoned my divine orb and turned it into a wolong jian sword with a silver blade and silver ornaments on the handle and scabbard of the sword. I followed the trails of deep footprints on the floor and cam to the robbers hideout but everyone in the place has already been killed, I saw a soldier walking towards me and he suddenly tried to cut me. I moved to the side and grabbed my sword, cut off his hand and covered his mouth so the other guys won’t hear his scream. I asked him why they were here, he told me they were after the king of Qin who they are trying to kill. I asked him to describe the Kong’s appearance so I can stay out of their way, the more he described the more I got why Hyou died. That man must have taken Hyou to the palace to be the kings double, i asked the soldier why they were in this location and he said the king faction tricked them by having a double placed in the carriage.
I killed him after he told me that, I decided to use a little of my power and track shin down. I got to the mountain full of soldiers and saw that man who took Hyou away, as much as I wanted to attack him I couldn’t. I overheard them saying shin and a few others followed the king to meet the mountain king, i continued on my way. When I got they the nest day, I went to the palace looking building and in the building there was two role of guards standing on each sides. On the throne was a person wearing too much clothes laying on the tiger skin and three wolfs on the ground looking at the Qin king who looks just like Hyou but different in a way. I hid behind the throne and the wolf’s didn’t pick my scent, later during their conversation they brought Shin and two other inside with their head in a Guillotine like thing without the execution blade. They wanted to execute the kid first but the king said something and they stopped temporarily, they continued talking for a while before two elders came and said something then signed to execute again.
Me and Shin moved at the same time, Shin kicked the execution guy away and took his weapon while I pointed my sword at the mountain king.
Amon: move and he dies
Shin: where the hell did you come from?
Amon: I snuck in when they opened the door for that guy
Shin: you snuck in?
King of Qin: that’s impossible
Amon: it’s not, the lot of you shouldn’t move
Mountain king: impressive, you managed to slip through my guards and wolfs. What are you gonna do now?

Amon: take you hostage and leave this place with shin
After I said that shin stepped on executioner he kick to pressure the old man underneath him and he also said something good for once which left me in shock, the king said it was well said coming from shin so I had to ask
Amon: say shin did you do something stupid in my absence?
Shin: what?, why’ll you say that?
Amon: cause everyone from your side has the ”this idiot said something good for once”look.
Then the king side something about reviving an alliance from 400 years ago and the mountain king his reply and the elder on the floor was about to say something about a grudge again but was silenced by the mountain king and the king too off his mask and reveal her beautiful face, she passed to her people her orders and we departed.
Shin was flying for half of the trip, before getting used to riding a horse. He asked me why I didn’t attack the king of Qin and I told him that I guessed what happened and since I didn’t see anger or despair in Hyou face, I know he led life the way he wanted.
We soon got back to the rendezvous point, My horse riding style was like that of royalty and people in the group started to ask shin if I was a royal. I sat alone under a tree with my sword on my knee, I closed my eyes and meditate till they were done with the strategic meeting. Before we set out the mountain people were ordered to tech us how to make masks, I left the group to make my mask.
As I walked to the end of the cliff and took off my mask, some curious people wanted to come over and see my face. Shin stopped them and told them to ask before approaching me, they asked and I denied their Wish. Since I am wearing long clothes which covers all the parts of my body, no one was able to see my skin and could only tell I have a nice voice. The covering myself up thing was Hyou idea so I won’t get sold away to some pervert, I looked like a creep all covered up like this so I told shin that I’ll take the clothes off after I had a bath.
He looked at me in shock and looked at Yotanwa with a strange gaze, she noticed his gaze and asked what happened and he replied
Shin: nothing
He received a slap on the head from Heki and Sei for this, we soon arrived at the royal capital were the battle will take place. We disguise ourselves as mountain people looking for alliance and they let us inside the first wall,while in the second wall we met the army and Sei killed their commander. So the battle began, they killed all the army men and some of the mountain people tried to climb over the wall but couldn’t and were killed when they fell back down.
I just stood there and did nothing while shin climbed over the wall and opened the wall gate from inside, we ran after a fat chancellor and the guy threw his partner off the carriage and the carriage continued running. Three of the mountain people on horse almost got to him but they were shot of the horse by arrows from the other half of the army in front of us, the man yelled for the king to come out which he did. Heki took some people including shin and the kid Karyoten and went to hunt the chancellor through a secret road, the army was preparing to shot at us with crossbows.
I walked out when they were talking about retreating for now
Sei: What are you doing?
Amon: killing them
Saying that I kept walking forward not listening to the man who took Hyou away’s shouting, my walking became faster by the time and as I ran Yotanwa ordered those supposedly dead men to attack the Army and they created a enough time for me to appear in front of the army. I drew my sword and heads flew, before the mountain people could reach me I already killed 40 men when the mountain people joined me I already killed 120 men. Yotanwa also took the field and went on a killing spring, soon we were done with almost 2/3 of the enemy.
I went to the commander riding the horse and chopped off his head, seeing that our army cheered but before they could finish a new number of enemies came with a more power commander this time before they gave up hope the king gave a speech and they got motivated once again. This time I moved faster and killed 40 men per minute, see this both enemies and allies had a shocked look on their face
Yotanwa looked at me with shock in her beautiful eyes, she had to admit that she couldn’t do it. I killed 1200 men in 30 minuets, after that I went to the back of the troops to rest for a while. I had to make them think I can’t go full power all the time, our forces killed off 2/4 of their army by now. I looked to the castle where I saw a terrified kid running down and talking to the second commander, while they were talking a huge man with tattoos on his arms jumped down from the side wall and a lot of men followed him down.
He walked up to the king and asked him what kind of king he intended to be, I walked up to the Yotanwa and stood beside her and looked at the man. The man left soon after, the little boy with the commander ran into the middle of the battle field and I saw shin and two mountain warriors coming out of the castle and one of them has the fatso’s head on his sword. From their talk, I found out he’s Sei’s brother, what a weird family they have. Sei beat him up and after words yelled something and shin followed suit saying that it’s our victory.
That evening they made had a fest at the castle grounds, I was sitting at the side of a house far away from the party when suddenly Yotanwa tapped on my shoulder. I looked at her and asked what was wrong and she asked me to follow her, I did as she said and we walked till I was surrounded by the top echelon of the mountain people. She stopped walking when we reached the middle of the group and she asked me to fight her, I looked at her and turned around to walk away but my path was blocked by the warriors of the mountain tribe. They all had serious looks in their eyes, so I turned around and faced her.
She’s just like Erza,but likes to fight and see blood more. The sparing ended with her losing, i withdrew my sword and offered her a hand.
Amon: so?, what’s all this about?
Yotanwa: *smile* won’t you take your mask off my husband?
Amon: what?
I asked with my face frozen under my masks,(what the hell is all this about) I thought.
Yotanwa: my spouse is to be stronger than me, by strong I don’t mean fight with me to a draw but to completely defeat me without me being able to put up a fight. This was the condition I set for the one to be my husband, you passed it with flying colors. Only, you are on the young side, but been young is good cause it means you have a lot of potential.
Amon: so if an ugly looking guy with a strength to easily defeat you appeared, you would have married him?
Yotanwa: well now that you say it, i should have set some more conditions. I haven’t seen your face, can you show it to me.
Amon: after I take my bath
Yotanwa: you don’t seem to have a problem with this?
Amon: cause every man I know would call me an idiot if I did and besides, I like you personality. Alright am going to go take a bath.
Saying that I left to the nearest empty house to take a bath, while I was bathing shin and the others came over because shin saw us fighting from the top of the castle. When he remembered that I said I was going to take off my mask after my bath he made a bet with everyone that my appearance will blow them away. The majority of them didn’t believe him and betted, hell even Yotanwa betted but she was on shin’s side. Sei and Karyoten were the other only people who betted on shin’s side, everyone else were against them.
I finished my bath, put on a black armless robe just like shin and walked out of the shower. When I came out I saw everyone from the party looking at me, I looked back at them and soon heard the sound of things dropping on the ground. I walked towards Yotanwa and asked her
Amon: how do I look?
When I asked this everyone swallowed their saliva and continued looking at me, hell even shin was looking at me like that.
Amon: is something wro....
Before I could finish the question she lend in and kissed me, at first I didn’t do anything cause I felt it was normal for her to kiss me but when I saw everyone else trying to kiss me I immediately used conqueror’s Haki to knock them out. I caught the falling Yotanwa and laid her on the floor after I but some clean clothes on it, I let her use my lap as pillows and the whole city slept till dawn. Because of my looks Yotanwa ordered her men to bring the best mask making material in the city and made me a white.
It’s been 20 years since I came to this world, I became known as the bringer of death. Yotanwa and my other wife Kyou Kai have long ascended godhood and left to the domain of the gods along time ago. I haven’t left because I travel around this world to she what’s out they and after that I left for another world.
