2018. There are 6 Great Families and 5 Under Families currently living since the Old ages. The Godin Family might be the strongest, but no one agrees on that claim. There is only one remaining descendant and he has not even awakened yet. He was close to death, now finds himself in a coma. Will he LIVE?
Or will he let his entire family and dynasty perish?
As Koruda opens his eyes, he finds himself on a cliff surrounded by water. The water is rumbling. A big blizzard making the waves move. As Koruda sits, he spots a light in the dark.
"You are the last one left, son?" A thick voice cuts through the storming waters.
"You forgot from what family you are? The Godin family never surrenders, we will never accept defeat. You need to make sure we won't end up like the other families in the Einin era. The strongest families, taken down by a single man. We fought so bravely. Please, Koruda, make sure our efforts weren't for nothing." The light says.
"You...you are the father of all Godins, right?" Kurod asks, his mind going through allot of things.
"Just make sure, that our family won't be forgotten in history, Kuroda." As the words sound off, the light disappears.
"Wait!" Kuroda spikes out of his sitting, nearly falling of the cliff.
"I am not powerful enough to challenge anyone!" Kuroda screams.
The light slightly glances through the darkness.
"I know, Kuroda. That's why you need to awaken. You need to understand your own mind and body. You will have a lot of time for it now, you are in a coma after all. And this here, is your inner mind. See how it's dark and sad?
You need to achieve peace." The old voice tells.
"B-but how!? I never understood this. All of them said the same!" Kuroda screams angrily.
"Just do what I tell you. Do it for your mother, father. Do it for the Godin Family." As the voice finishes, the light disappears. The rumbling of water crushing on the cliff hearable like a tornado.
"Understand my own body and mind? What does that supposed to mean!? If only I wasn't the only one left! Mother! Father! Kuroda let's out, tears falling on the ground under him.
The storming starts to pick up it's pace, the water punching the cliff at such force it starts to crack.
"Why me!!?" Kuroda let's out his final scream as the cliffs collapses under the sheer power of the Earth's element. Water.
A bad evening. A big blizzard is storming Tokyo. Every one at home, in their comfort zone. But one lone soul is outside. Rain pours down heavily as Benji touches the wet ground with his bare chest.
"100!" Benji let's out before fully collapsing into the mud. As Benji breathes heavily, his eyes still holding a sight of concentration.
"I will make them regret it, Kuroda. I will become the strongest. I will be the new 'Family Killer.'
Benji turns around in the mud, the rain falling onto his face.
"I will take revenge, even if I need to kill Heaven it's self." Benji let's out confidently.
"300!" Benji screams as he collapes on the ground.
"Why aren't you waking up, Kuroda? Why? Why?" Benji asks himself.
"It has been 3 months already. I am so much stronger that I was before, but I still feel like I lack something. Something that would complete me. My power. Is it you, Kuroda? Or is it becoming one with my mind and body?
A strange figure approaches Benji as he gets up from the ground.
"Good morning." The figure says, confidently.
"Who are you?" Benji asks, his guard clearly up.
"I am Gojin Kamo, the current second-in-command of the Gojin family." He let's out, as he looks Benji deeply into his eyes.
"No need to fear me. I am here to close a pact. A business agreement if you will." He says as he smirks.
"Oh, I don't fear you. I never heard of your family's name anyways." Benji says while chuckling.
"Hey! Anyways. I can help you with your battle against the Joju family, your brothers to be exact." Kamo offers.
Benji glances at him.
"What do you want in exchange?"
Kamo's smirk widens.
"I want 'The Artifact of Storm' from your family's possession.
"I don't need that anyway. I agree. I hope you will be of great help." Benji scratches his hand for a handshake.
"Of course I and my family will be of great help." Kamo accepts the handshake.
"We will meet soon, Benji. If we want to fight them directly. You need to get even stronger."
"I will." Benji puts his hand to his chest with confidence.
"I will be the one who will have the last laugh."
"Oh, I am sure about that, Benji. Another time!" Kamo disappears after a few steps.
"He sure is fast. I gotta read more about the Gojin family." Benji says while scratching his head.
The sound of a katana slashing through the air in speeds of a car are heard. Benji breathes heavily as he puts down his sword.
The sweat visible on his bare chest.
"5 months into my training. I will take my revenge soon." Benji says through his heavy breathing.
A similar figure approaches him.
"Good morning, Benji. I have the plans ready." The figure says excitingly.
"Hey, Kamo. So, what is the date?" Benji questions while smirking.
"31st of October. From my spying, only your brothers will be in the Joju family mansion on that day." Kamo says confidently.
"Okay. Thank you, Kamo. I will almake sure to be even stronger before the day comes."
"No need to thank me. I will get something in return after all." Kamo says while grinning.
"Why is that 'Artifact of Storm' or what so important to you?"
Kamo chuckles.
"Our family has the Lightning magic. Without the artifact our Family's power are, limited.
If we get the artifact, we would turn into a Great Family immediately." Kamo let's out excitingly.
"So the artifact enhances your power to such heights for you to become a Great Family?" Benji questions.
"Simply, yes." Kamo grins.
"I have to go now, remember. The 31st of October." Kamo just finishes and disappeares.
