A young man can be seen standing motionless in a huge hall, he was wearing a black kimono. His entire body was bathed in blood, his hair that was previously tied in pony tail was untied which made it looked loosely dishevelled.
This young man is called Hannya, the heir of the most well-known yakuza family in the underground world.
But at this moment, the previously domineering household is now being devoured by the raging flames while multiple gunshots can be heard in the background along with roars of desperation that would resound from time to time.
Not too far from him, a Yakuza member exerted all of his strength on his both hands, his thick muscles bulge as he swung his katana towards his opponent.
Seeing the Yakuza's attack, the mafia on the receiving end immediately dashed to the side avoiding the Yakuza's attack, when the sword made contact to the ground Sparks from friction can be seen, the mafia member somersaulted while pulling his gun which was aimed at the Yakuza's head.
'Bang'
When gun was triggered, the Yakuza who was about to make another slash didn't make it in time and can only stare at the bullet until it borrowed in his skull.
When the Mafia member saw the death of his target, he roared in delight.
This kind of battle can be found everywhere. Yakuza's and Mafia's were trying to massacre the other's group.
Hannya felt pain each time he saw a Yakuza member falls, he's filled with frustration and powerlessness.
Despite being in desperate situation he remained firm, atleast on the outside. Even though he was completely surrounded with no means of escape, He refuse to let his enemies and family to see his weakness, the moment he became new head of the Yakuza family, he became their core of belief so if he showed any hints of weakness the clan members 'will' might crumble.
But still, seeing countless bodies of his allies shook his will, still he tried to hold on.
But fate seems to be a lot cruel than he thought.
At this moment he heard a woman's shout behind him, his body instinctively turned but what he saw made him tremble with rage inside, he saw a man in suit with poisonous smile took his knife and stabbed it towards the woman.
He saw the middle-aged woman fell to her knees, but instead of fear what he saw was her smile filled with love and worry.
It seems like time stopped as he watched her fall and motionless while the knife that was stabbed on her chest is filled with her blood.
This middle-aged woman was none other than his mother.
Looking at the dead body of the person who took care and love him from the moment he was born made his blood boil with uncontrollable anger.
"My child, no need to feel sad"
Like a stone dropped in a calm lake, ripples spread inside Hannya heart when he heard those words. No need to feel sad? To hell with it. Those mafia started a massacre in his household. He will fight them to death.
The last pillar that held his sanity crumbled at that moment, his boiling anger reached point blank.
He completely lost his sanity.
He shouted with all his might, his bloodshot eyes looked at the mafia who killed his mother.
The sudden change startled the mafia member, last second this young man was like a firm stone, the next second he became a fierce tiger.
Using all his strength Hannya ran towards his target. As he got closer.. his expression started to become even more bloodthirsty but when he was about to slash his sword the surroundings suddenly changed, instead of burning household with countless bodies lying around, it was replaced with darkness, it's so dark that he couldn't even see a thing. This situation made Hannya feel at loss.

"No need to feel uneasy"
A deep mysterious voice emerged from the dark.
'this voice!!'
Hannya heart turned cold, Humans always fear the unknown which is definitely true. He raised his guard and look at the surroundings trying to catch a glimpse of the mysterious figure. This was the voice of the person who told him to not feel sad earlier, he didn't even pay attention to the person who spoke those words earlier since he was filled with overwhelming rage.
"Who are you?" Hannya gathered his courage to speak with this unknown entity.
"Well, let's just say, I'm the person who governs the life, death and rebirth"
Hannya was stunned, 'someone who governs the life, death and rebirth?' he stood in dazed while trying to process everything.
Seeing that Hannya is not responding the mysterious figure let out a chuckle.
"No need to be stunned, I am here to give you an opportunity."
"What opportunity?" After some time Hannya finally regained a bit of his calm and responded.
He is now at the point where he would accept the devils temptation just to avenge his family.
Desperate situations can only be solve using desperate measures.
"I can help you with anything as long as it's related to Life, Death and Rebirth."
He was stunned by the unexpected response he got. He was only trying his luck, he didn't expect that this mysterious entity would give him hope.
Without an ounce of hesitation he kneeled.
"Please, if you're really someone who governs the life and death of people, I begged you to save my family and I shall offer you my soul."
"I'm sorry but it's not possible in your world and also I don't need your soul."
Hannya froze in place. He felt like everything around him started to crumble while the light in his eyes started to slowly dim.
"So basically, you can't do anything to help me?"
"Don't feel down, I can still reincarnate your family but it would be in one of my world"
When he heard this, the light on his eyes slowly regained it's glory, he patiently waited for other party to complete his words.
"I will reincarnate your family but you will not be able to stay with them because I need you in a different world, since I'm going to help, you need to do something for me in return."
When he heard this Hannya felt down it feels like this mysterious person is toying with his emotions. Just when he thought that he will be able to live with his family, the mysterious figure just shattered his short-lived dream without an ounce of consideration.
"I will do anything as long as you can prove it to me, show me the reincarnation of my clan." Hannya replied with great determination. It was enough for him, as long as his family lives happily, it doesn't matter whether it's going to be in another world, still he need to confirm it with his very own eyes.
"Hoh, doubting my words are we?" The mysterious person chuckled and simply waved his hands.
Multiple white orbs appeared in the surroundings that gave light to the entire place, the only area that was still covered darkness is where the mysterious person stood.
Hannya observed the orbs who were slowly forming human figures with transparent features. As he look closely, familiar faces entered his line of vision.
"Mom! Dad! Grandpa! Everyone!" They were his family, the people who took care and loved him.
Everyone in his family just gave him a smile and didn't reply. In just a few minutes the dark place turned transparent and he could see multiple planets in different sizes. Everyone turned into orbs once again and was sent to different planets.
Hannya can only stand in place with his hands in grasping motion as if he want to stop everyone from leaving.. tears formed in his eyes, threatening to fall anytime.
"Now, I reincarnated your entire clan so it's now your turn, I will be sending you to world that is extremely important for a being like me. You should be familiar with this world as it's one of the books you read in your free time.You will become my representative and I need you to..."
The latter part of the words were sent to Hannya.
After settling down his emotions, Hannya looked at the mysterious person who was covered in darkness: "I understand, I shall keep my end of deal. So which world is it?"
"You will know when you get there. Let me give you something to aid your journey."
Suddenly a bright light engulfed the darkness.
