"I guess this is the end of the line for me huh," A man with light-toned skin, sharp red eyes and light-blonde hair said.
He had a gaping wound in his stomach and he looked like he would arrive at death's door at any moment. Surrounding him were a pile of dead bodies. The smell of blood was so strong that it looked like as if he was in the depths of hell itself.
In his right hand held a pocket-watch that he grasped tightly. Clinging to it as if it was his only hope. He then caressed it gently then he the man started to reminisce about his past. He remembered his parents who abandoned him. He remembered the sleepless nights while laying on the cold hard floor listening to the countless voices inside his head.
That went on and on until a glimmer of hope appeared one day, a man adopted him. The man trained him to be strong and be the man he is today. But, in every light there's always going to be a shadow behind it.
"Old man, when will you tell me the location of my parents?" A teenager with light blonde hair and a delicate face said.
Standing in front of him was an average-looking old man with the only noticeable feature he had was a huge scar from his left eye reaching to his lips
"Damn brat, can't you wait, I'll find it soon but before that I found something that'll make it worth your while"
The old man grunted and gives the teenager a pocket-watch
"I found it at your parent's old house" The old man added.

The teenager held it as if it was his most prized possession, the truth is he never found out why his parents abandoned him. One day, he woke up and they were gone, not even a single trace was found. The next day, while the Old man was gone the teenager heard a knock on the door. He was then met by a man wearing a suit and holding a set of papers what was the most noticable feature the man had was his countless tattoos and a huge scar on his left eye.
"Who are you, and why are you here" the teenager asked
"I regret to inform you that Old Kevin passed away" the man answered
"What??" The teenager said, he couldn't believe it the old man was just gone for a single day, he thought of him as his very own family without noticing it he began shedding tears uncontrollably he then frustratedly asked
"How did he die??"
"He was shot to death" The man replied
"By whom?" The teenager asked
"A underworld organization kid, don't even try to get revenge, you'll end up as the same fate as him and your parents as well." the man said
After that the teenager slammed the door shut on the man. Years passed the teenager didn't fall in to despair he found a new resolve and determination instead. He trained so hard that he became a feared figure in the underworld, he was so strong that could rival organizations as a single person alone. After that he finally found the organization that killed the old man and has info on his parents.
He infiltrated their base and killed his way through, each gunshot left a mountain of bodies trailing behind him. It went on and on until he was met with the boss of the organization along with a hundred people behind him
"This is where it ends kid" The boss said.
Instead of replying the man instead shot a couple of his people and they dropped dead instantly. It finally transpired to the final clash. It ended with the teenager now a remarkably handsome man below him was a kneeling old obese man dropped to his knees. The man thought it was all over but then he felt a pain in his stomach. He was shot by one of thugs who he presumed was dead. The thug laughed and then he finally passed away.
The man clinging to his life then shot the boss in the head sending him straight to hell.
The man collapsed bringing him to the scene right now
He caressed the pocket-watch for the last time then when he closed his eyes it was all finally over, the pocket-watch suddenly rotated clock-wise until it hit the letter VI. The man who has recently passed suddenly faded into small particles of light until all traces of the man was gone.
