Prologue: The Beginning of a New World

Prologue: The Beginning of a New World

About a decade ago, there was a place called Tashiwan City which was a perfectly normal city without any supernatural or odd occurings, just like any other normal place in the world. However, this all changed one day when the first portal leading to another dimension opened up in the middle of the city. At first, nothing happened, but then people with weird clothing and looks poured out and started to attack the citizens. The helpless people could do nothing but scream and run away, even though it was still very ineffective. These bloodthirsty monsters appeared to be what people would call. 

After the last few poured out, the people froze in horror and the monsters, called Tykors, kneeled before the final figure that emerged from the portal before them. He stood about 6 and a half feet tall and his face was hidden by the hood of his black cloak. A dark aura flowed from his presence. He didn’t hesitate at all before making a signal which ordered the aggressive monsters to attack without any mercy, ripping people apart, stabbing people, and wiping out all of humankind. 

However, the people had not lost all hope yet. Not so far away, another hooded man was waiting for the right moment to strike. He was different from all the other citizens. He was humanity’s last hope.

He ran until he reached the heart of the battle and tried to hide himself as well as he could behind a tall building. The mysterious man then took a deep breath, focused all his strength, and then pounded as hard as he could on the back of a Tykor that was about to slice a person in half with his blade. He took the fallen blade and ran to the cloaked monster, who was now standing on a pile of debris. Without hesitating, he jumped up behind him and right as he was about to pierce a hole through his heart, he dodged to the right, causing the avenger to fall off. 

The monster laughed menacingly and said, “You fool! Do you really think an idiot human can kill me?!” The man hadn’t given up yet though. He tried to get back up, but the monster walked up to him. He grabbed him by his collar, threw him up, and landed a fist in his stomach causing him to fly through 2 miles in the sky, all with one hand. The man spat out blood as he finally hit a wall and slid down to the ground. He was still not giving up, because he had been waiting all his life for a moment like this. He was unordinary, in a way that benefited him. He had spent most of his life training like a samurai and learning the true way of swordsmanship. 

“You just don’t know when to stop!” said the monster as he was approaching him. The man tried his best to sit up as he spit out some more blood on the pavement. “You bastard! I may just be an ordinary human, but I’m not gonna hand humanity over to you just like that!” And with that, he took off running at the speed of light. He knew now that there was some distance between them but that just added more to his advantage. The monster was now so shocked that he couldn’t move. He had a 3 feet distance between the monster now and that’s when he jumped, the cloak sliding off him, revealing his ripped body, and taking out the sword he had been hiding inside it. “You’re right, I indeed don’t know when the hell to stop!” he yelled. The monster, who had been confident of the fact that he didn’t need to make a move since he had godlike power started to reply, “You-”. 

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

He tried to open his mouth and talk again, but this time no words came out, but instead blood and attempts at breathing. He could not believe it. In the spot that was almost the center of his chest, there was now a long sword stuck which had sliced right through his heart. He poured out gallons of blood as his body began to deactivate and close down. His cloak had now completely fallen off as he started to fall down on his knees. “No, this can’t be happening right now! No! Dammit, dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!” he yelled. 

He then let out a highly piercing scream as he was almost near death. His scream continued as he turned around and scratched at the left eye of his killer which left a long scar. By now, he had noticed that his body was fading away. “No! Damn you! You think you got rid of me?! It’s just the beginning! I am Kazuka Gogatsu, the Samurai King! I swear, I will come back and kill you!!! I will wipe out all of humanity! As we speak, different armies of my Tykors are scattered all across the planet right now! In a short while, I will come back and wipe out all of manki-”. And with that, he faded away. The man just stared in shock. 

But that was not the end, for as he faded away, a huge ray of green light flashed brightly and spread all around the planet for a few seconds. Then, that’s when everything started turning into a wasteland. Adding to the many dead and wounded human bodies all around the field, leaves started to completely fall off from trees, flowers died, lots of buildings burned down, a big castle started to grow right out from the ground on top of a nearby hill, and there was no green left in sight to see. The 17 year old did not know whether to be proud or sad of what he had done.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted an elderly woman about to get hit by a falling building and he started to run towards her to save her. However, he could not do that because he was trampled by a group of raging Tykors. He watched in horror as the building crushed the poor, helpless woman. The 17 year old was strong, in fact too strong for a human being. But, so many Tykors had now tackled him that from their strength and tension of the situation, he finally passed out. The monsters then picked him up and started to carry him to the castle that had grown out on top of the hill. At the same moment, the sword the 17 year old had been fighting with was now glowing as one of the monsters took it with them. 

From that moment on, the world had turned into a wasted battlefield for survival. It had officially entered a deadly Samurai era. The remaining population of the world were forced to train and master the ways of the samurai and become one to save their lives. The people who could not, had no choice but to either take shelter under the wing of one or be killed. This is the story of how Kenji Suzuki, a fearsome warrior avenged the hopeless world and became the Samurai King.
