My name is shadow and i was once the best soldier in the world but that’s what happens when most of your life was on the battlefield. I was a orphan left on the streets in Africa only to be picked up by a militia group they fed me trained me and sent me on missions when i first joined them i hated it but as time went by i found out i was actually good at this line of work.
After a few years a rose in the ranks and became a one man squad since every time i got sent to another squad they would end up dead or crippled never to be the same again when i was sixteen i left the militia to make a name of my self. As i grew older my name started getting spread around once i hit the top people started gunning for me for my position as best merc. One after another they just kept on coming the latest one was the worst.
This person was nicknamed snake and he would do anything to get ahead in life the only thing he cared about was money not a ounce of humanity in him he planted C4 on my ex-girlfriend and family just to lure me out of course i killed him but at a cost the last words of my ex was to put down my guns.
This idea was scary for me since i had no idea how to do this the only thing i knew was killing but i did and decided the only ways out of this way of life was either die or kill them all but my promise kept me from doing this so i did the next best thing. I faked my death changed my name and face then flew to the states where i became a humble smith.
I could create anything out of just a few pieces of scrap metal life was peaceful for a while just me and my shop but all good things had to come to a end. On my twenty-sixth birthday a war broke out between the gangs in this city and the government and soon it all came to my front door. Government officials would come one day and the other gangs each time they made me make them more and more deadly weapons soon even the civilians got caught up in this. I gave some of them shelter while the fighting was going on because my place was the safest building in this city i made sure of that.
Some of the civilians i saved were angry at me because i wouldn’t fight to end this bloodbath but i ignored them and continued with my work. There was one civilian that didn’t complain at all she just sat in the back with her head covered with a hood not speaking to anyone and the people that walked by her they would give her a disgusted look. I figured it out she was a homeless that was one of the gang leaders woman but after the war broke out she left him which didn’t end well for her he blinded her and threw her in the street like garbage.
After a while i walked over to her with some food that i scrounge up.
Hey are you hungry.(me)
Ya but you should keep it the others might want it.(blind woman)
I put the plate down next to her and sat down in the chair facing her and started to talk again.
I know you haven’t been eating well since you were kicked out of the gangs hide out and the others have already eaten the rest of my food so stop trying to be alone i am as much to blame for this as you are i know you can’t see but i know you can hear and smell this place. I am the one who has made the weapons they are using.(me)
I already knew that i heard the others talking about you it seems we both have done things we are not proud of but i do have a question for you if you will answer it for me.(blind woman)
Sure i don't mind i don't have anything else to do at the moment.(me)
Why haven’t you thrown us out yet it would be much easier than taking care of all of us so why?(blind woman)
It’s simple i got nothing better to do and once in a while i like to have someone to talk to but until now i have been regretting it now that you have asked your question i have my own.(me)
Sure i will answer it’s only right.(blind woman)
Will you come with me to the market after the shooting stops?(me)
Sure but i dont know how much help i will be.(blind woman)
Alright i will get you once they are done.(me)
I walked back to my work station and started working on my next project some new eyes for the girl i know what your thinking this man is crazy but well with today’s technology i can do it. I made some glasses that directly connect to your brain to see everything and with color if i might add. After the gun fire stopped i went over to the girl and took her hand helping her up i look over to see the plate wasn’t touched but didn’t say anything.
I take her to the central market where the government has maintained since this all began we walked around for a few hours getting groceries then once the shopping was done i took her to my favorite spot near the dams edge.
Okay i got a surprise for you well actually two.(me)
Well now i am scared what can a inventor do for me build me a walking stick.
The girl had a smile on her face as she said this i knew she was just joking at this and was waiting for me to say something but instead i put down her hood only to see the burn marks over her eyes. other than that she was actually a beauty flowing black hair a cute smile and a really fine body i mean super model body she tried to raise her hood but i stopped her.
You need to trust me.(me)
She was hesitant at first but soon relaxed i placed the glasses on her and turned them on from my perspective they were only sun glasses but i made them that way so that no one would bother her. She was completely blown away with this unable to speak.
So you like it right i know it might be uncomfortably but these should help you a lot.(me)
How did you do this? all the cybernetics i went to said they couldn’t do anything.(ecstatic woman)
Well that was just something i made on my free time in truth i can make anything as long i have the materials what i have been giving the gangs and the government were just to keep them from turning on me soon each of their weapons will break down and they wont be able to use my weapons anymore i plan on leaving the city tonight if you want to come i will take you with me.(me)
I would love to but wont i be a burden on you after all if these glasses break i will be useless.(woman)
Dont worry about it just leave everything to me and you will be free of this city forever.(me)
The woman smiled and nodded we went back to my store as we did we saw one of the gang leaders outside of my store the woman hid behind me like she knew him.
Hey we need more weapons we plan on hitting the government one last time so we need something big.(gang leader)
It will be ready in the morning.(me0)
Wait is that? Yes it is damn i thought you would be dead already but i guess you are as stubborn as a cockroach finding a new home so fast so what did you do to get this one? i bet you had to blow this gear head off right.(gang leader)
Watch it we are doing business together because i like your money however if you insult her one more time things wont be as easy for you do you understand me.(me)
Ya i understand just so you know you need to watch your back with this one she is the reason my brother is in federal prison.(gang leader)
I’ll be careful.(me)
I walked in the store and locked the front i sat down the bags while thinking about how i am going to fix this i stared at the woman then walked up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.
Do you still have your contacts?(me)
Yes why?(woman)
I want to set up a meeting with them give them this location and tell them i had information that will end all of this once and for all.(me)
She nodded and i handed her the phone while she was on it i walked to the back only to find some of the men scavenging through my workshop i quickly taught them a lesson and when i was about to kick them out i was greeted by a officer he had a scowl on his face but moved out of the way so i could kick the men out once i did that i let him in he sat down in a chair i walked to the other side and sat down the woman was standing next to me listening in on our conversation.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
So what is it you want we haven’t been in contact with this one in a while and now that she contacts us she makes us meet her here in a lowly weapons workshop how disappointing.(officer)
Well i would have been in contact with you sooner but well shiro found out about our arrangement and well he took something from me in return.(woman)
She took off the glasses i gave her and showed the man her eyes but quickly put them back on.
This man helped me by creating glasses that allows me to see again and now he has a plan to stop this war once and for all.(woman)
Okay that’s enough i didn’t expect anything less from him but now lets get down to business the gang leaders are gathering tonight to discuss their next move in the low town inn there is a secret door in the back office leading underground. Once you have your men down there i suggest turning left down the tunnel and to the dead end there you need to press on both sides for the door to open which will give you a room all to yourselves to take them out once they arrive.(me)
So how do you know all this.(officer)
I am the one that built it.(me)
Okay now the last thing i want to know is what do you want in return for this information.(officer)
The exit near the south side of the city to look the other way once we arrive i want to leave as quietly as possible can you make that happen?(me)
Yes however this is a one time deal so you better make it count and if this is a trap we will be coming after you.(officer)
Ya i know and here is a little present for the gang leaders if you really want to get nasty a homemade bomb made to destroy any organic that is in the area while keeping the surroundings intact as a bonus it doesn’t leave any mess once it’s done.(me)
The man takes the bomb and heads out once gone i grab my back then start packing i only grabbed a few clothes and some food for the road i took the girl by the hand and we left going through the back alleys finally to the south exit. The guards were as usual ready for anything i took a deep breath and started walking towards them once they seen me they nod and turn a little.
We pass the guards and exit the city only to find trucks parked blocking the road and soldiers aiming for us the door closed behind us trapping the woman and i. Damn why didn’t i see it before now if only i did we wouldn’t be in this mess. The man from earlier walked in front with a microphone.
Well sorry for this just tying up loose ends and your bomb was actually useful we can’t have people that are directly in contact with us even contact’s it’s always been like that so just accept your fate and die.(officer)
Ya right.(me)
I grabbed the girl and rolled down the hill through the bushes the soldiers opened fire at us but were too slow once we stopped rolling i picked the woman up and ran into the forest after what felt like hours i finally stopped. While resting the woman let me lay on her lap for a few minutes while doing so i asked
What is your name? I never actually heard it.(me)
It’s Emily.(Emily)
Well thanks for coming this far with me Emily but it’s time to split up.(me)
I sat up and pulled out the knife i so desperately to put down for all these years.
What are you going to do.(Emily)
Well i am going to finish this and keep them distracted while you escape the next city is called stone valley a mining city it might be hard but i know you can survive ask for a man named swifty he will help you the best he can just tell him to remember old lives he will know what it means.(me)
No i wont leave you!(Emily)
You don’t have a choice in the matter i won’t make it to stone valley alive this is the only thing i can do for you.(me)
I walked through the bushes not giving another word to her i followed the sounds of yelling and as i continued i was leaving a blood trail from the several bullet wounds that are on me. Now let’s see if i can remember how to do this. I started sloppy struggling to kill the first soldiers but as i got to the fifth and sixth i started to get back my killing skill but i also began to feel weaker so i picked up the pace
Once i finished off the last of the soldiers i heard a familiar voice.
Come on out i have your whore i know you can hear me so just come out and she survives.(future dead officer)
I followed his annoying voice only to see Emily her glasses off and being held at gun point.
Drop the knife.(future dead officer)
I dropped it and raised my hands behind my head he indicated me to move closer. As i did he pointed his gun at me like i predicted i threw the hidden knife that i had in my sleeve sticking him in the throat but not before firing another shot into my chest.
Yep that will do it. I fell to the ground while Emily grabbed her glasses once she had them and looked my why she saw me on the ground in my miserable state luckily i couldnt feel pain anymore. She ran over to me and put my head into her lap like before but this time tears fell onto my face i smiled at how she cared for me.
Don’t be like that i chose this i could have just stayed in my shop living out peacefully but i knew it would only make her suffer even more with all those memories now since you are here i can Cough... I can give you one last thing the only thing that i have left.(me)
Okay what do you want me to have.(crying Emily)
It’s a security fund just in case i kick the bucket the account number is 3-2-8-9-9 once you have it spend it however you want i dont care what you do with it just please live happily.(dying me)
Alright i will.(crying Emily)
ggggooooddddd.(me)
As my vision blurred and the darkness took me i saw a blue box.
wasn't that a little much i mean
come on you never did anything like that
for me what i was alive
Wait is that really you eve.(me)
ya since i died i became the goddess of reincarnation
oh and why did you break your promise to me you were
doing good too
Well because it was the only thing i could do at the moment i stopped killing for ten long years and that was just because you were the first person i truly loved don’t you think i would kill again if i found someone i cared for again.(me)
your right but still i can't feel but jealous
with her for that i am giving you a little present
for when you get reincarnated oh and it's a RPG like
world and the others that are like you are just useless
pervs so do me a favor and teach them a lesson when you do
get reincarnated oh also pray to me it's the only way we can
talk
Okay i get it and i will.(me)
Oh god just send me to the underworld it is much safer than having her as a guardian angel she isn’t a bad person just picks really bad choices
