Prologue: Neon Tower

Prologue: Neon Tower

The loud screech of an alarm blended with the howl of the midnight wind.

The sound of alarms faded into the distance, a troubled figure stood atop the point closest to the moon.

Standing tall enough that it almost touched the clouds, a tower that towered over its surroundings. Figures filled with hostility surrounded the troubled figure at the top of the tower of towers.

“H-hey, how about I just give everything back, and we can let bygones be bygones, that way everyone can just walk away harmlessly, right?”

The troubled figure spoke nervously. A passing cloud let a ray of moonlight through the roof of dark clouds, briefly illuminating the surroundings.

The troubled figure wore fully covering dark clothing, pointing a small household dagger towards the figures surrounding him.

Entering the moonlight, the figures surrounding the dark clothed man were all wearing neat suits, and were well outfitted with varying types of guns. Not taking notice of the mans words, the armed men slowly pointed their weapons towards the center of his head.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

“I….am not going to get out of this one, am I..?” Smiling awkwardly, the dark clothed man wore a bitter smile.

“Fine then~If I’m going out, then I’m going out in style!

Slowly backing up towards the edge, he raised the small ornamental household knife in front of him and prepared to rush forward.

Taking a deep breath and preparing to rush forward to his demise. The breath he was holding was prematurely released, while the men surrounding him took a deep breath in surprise.

The sky let out a loud roar which resonated in everyone’s chest. Something in the sky shone bright, before it quickly moved down from heaven, tumbling down in a bright zigzag pattern.

The knife that the man held was struck by a gigantic bolt of lightning. Sending through him enough electricity to make the light of the tower flicker uncertainly.

The mans muscles suddenly tensed up faster than humanely possible, resulting in him being thrown backwards, and off the ledge.

The suited men stood with open mouths and wide eyes. As their target briefly floated in mid air, before gravity finally took hold of his body.

As the man was falling downward towards the rapidly growing ground. A single thought ran through his head.

(So this is how the legendary Yuri loses his life…such rotten luck…well at least the people down below will get a nice surprise..haha..too bad I cant be there to see their shocked faces..)

The mans consciousness gradually went blank as he fell further into the darkness below.
