Title

Chapter 1. Prologue

Here is my story from when I was still living amongst the living.

Everyday I open my eyes and looked up the ceiling which there is none but only the blue unending sky.

Some might say it looks beautiful

To me it only looks like the only thing that is always reminding me that I’m homeless

I live alone on the streets.

Have no relative nor acquaintances

Nobody paid any heed to me

I never had a chance on having a family to go back to

My name is Joseph, I’m 21 and I’m a hobo.

Why am I living like this? Well it was because of a choice I made when I was young. All I could see back then was to only run away from this hell hole called orphanage. When I was 5 the children would turn pick on me because of how I look. I mean come on I only have a slight bump on my forehead. Ok it’s a small horn the same as those goblins in re:M*nster

I guess that’s why I was left by my parents at the orphanage. I won’t reminisce or lament about it but the only good thing that ever came with this horn is that I’m sensitive to living being’s aura or some might call it chi / spirit.

One time I managed to get a work in this fake spiritualist office when the so called ‘exorcist’ over there wanted to use me to find but instead on my first day I am the one who got hunted when they saw my horn chasing me around the whole neighborhood while chanting (&*!@^$()*@&$(@ and throwing holy water on me. When It didn’t work it only aggravated them more and causes to call for more backup saying I am a greater demon.

“Ahaks those was the day” I chuckled to myself while still lying down on a pave in small alley.

Ever since I was a child I liked to read.

Anything that has words on it I interest me. And the most interesting subject for me was science and the new technology that keeps popping up.

Oh how I would love to be able to live like a rich kid, spoiled to no end by my parents

But I know deep down in my hearts that you have to earn anything you want in this world. I know I might sound like a lazy bum but in my circumstances I can’t say I haven’t tried.

“IM HUNGRYYYYYY!”

I don’t feel like moving but the body does need some nutrient to survive with that I push myself up one more day to beg or literally do anything to buy myself some food.

Hey I might be a bum but I was able to wander around the continent and I understood more than anyone what laziness will do to my body.

Another sunny day another begg…. *ehem work to do.

First thing is to go to the begg… *ehem charity to ask for some food

Then go walk around scrounging whatever I can get out of the trash can.

Usually the park would have something nice to recycle or sell. Even though the children there are malicious I guess I can’t blame them for the way they treat me. It’s a deterrent parents would set their children to discriminate beggar so that they wouldn’t want to be one.

While I was scrounging the trash at the park some children were playing by the side of the road, you know as an underclass sub citizen of this country I don’t really have any obligation to warn them. But….. nahhh its none of my concern.

After I’m done looking around the whole park for stuff to sell I want to head to the recycling center and I saw one of the children that was still playing by the side of the road tripped while running and fell near the edge.

I saw a car coming from his side of the road since the road is and arc the driver haven’t notice the child and the car doesn’t seem to be slowing down

“HEY YOU!! GET UP THERE IS A CAR COMING!! YOU BRAT!” as I shouted I ran as fast as I could putting aside any other thought.

Managed to get to child in time and shove him back to side of the road but I made a huge mistake, I tripped on my own leg causing my face to do a faceplant on the road.

Now I know some of you might want to see me flying through sky in elegance and grace but sorry to disappoint but I was face down on the road and the car went right top of my back.

“I wonder what happened to my nuts?”

Was what I thought since my spine seems to be broken and I can’t seem to feel anything down my guts.

“HAHAHAHA I must be crazy to still be this calm even after being ran over by a car”

“my eyesight seems to be a bit blurry, is that the boy I just saved?“

Standing next to me is the boy and the driver seems to have already ran away

“Damn you plebeians doing a hit and run on the ol’ me when I die I’m gonna haunt your ass and put chili sauce in your butt while you’re sleeping!”

Then I looked at the child next to me and started to cough blood and my eyes suddenly became dark.

Well I guess dying while saving a child is already an accomplishment isn’t it?
