"What do I do from now on?" Keiichi started thinking about his future. Before getting the system, Keiichi was thinking about trying to rebuild his family's business, but he changed his mind. He wasn't very good at business and he didn't want to go down the same path his parents had either. He wanted to live a freer life.

"I see you're undecided, boy." Yato said.

"Well… I don't know what to do from now on." Keiichi replied.

"How about you find the people who murdered your parents?"

"!!!"

Keiichi's eyes widened when he heard Yato's words.

…

"W-What… the hell are you talking about?! My parents died in an accident!" Keiichi exclaimed.

"Heh… you're too naive, boy. Your family was murdered right after they started to gain power. Do you really think this was an accident?"

"...are you saying that some powerful family murdered my parents?! But the police said that-"

"Police? Do you think the police would tell you that your parents were murdered and that there is a conspiracy behind all this? Society on your planet is much more obscure than it looks."

Keiichi couldn't contradict Yato's words. This information was very shocking to him.

"You were lucky you were still alive. The people who killed your parents should have felt sorry for you." Yato said, with a playful smile.

"YOU ARE LYING!" Keiichi yelled. He couldn't accept this situation. He spent his life believing that his parents died in an accident, but now someone said that his parents were murdered and that he didn't die because the murderers got "pity"?

"Heh… so you won't believe me. See for yourself."

"Which-"

-

"Honey, will Keiichi be okay?" A woman asked the man beside her. Her name is Sachiko Otake.

"Don't worry, he's not a kid anymore." The man replied. His name is Yoshio Otake.

"Father, mother…" Keiichi's eyes widened when he saw his father and mother in front of him.

"Father, mother!" He ran to hug them, but his body went through their body.

"Huh?!" Keiichi was confused. He tried to touch them again, but it was useless.

"Dad, Mom, can't you see me here?! It's me, Keiichi!" Despite Keiichi yelling, Sachiko and Yoshio didn't respond. They didn't even listen to him. Keiichi tried to touch his own body and realized he was similar to a ghost.

"What's going on?! Did I go back in time?!" He couldn't understand the situation. He remembered that day perfectly. The saddest day of his life.

"Let's get going." Yoshio and Sachiko got in the car and left. They were going on a business trip.

"Dad, Mom, wait!" Keiichi chased the car.

-

"Boss, we're almost there." The driver warned.

"Good"

…

The driver continued to drive the vehicle in the right direction for a few minutes; however, he changed the route a moment later.

"Why are you changing your route? Was there a problem?" Yoshio asked.

"Boss, we had problems with the route. We're going to take a little detour." The driver said.

"All right." Yoshio trusted his driver because they had been working together for years.

'Boss…' Yoshio didn't notice the driver's hand was shaking at that moment. The car continued following the route until it stopped on a deserted street.

"Yoshio…" Sachiko took his hand. She had a bad feeling.

"What is happening?!" Yoshio yelled to his driver. He began to find his driver's behavior strange.

"My lord… forgive me! But I didn't have a choice…"

"Which-"

*tremor!* *tremor!*

"Yoshio… what's going on?!" Sachiko was startled when the ground began to shake.

"Don't worry, we have security." Yoshio never walked without security. Before starting the trip, Yoshio had already prepared more than 15 security guards.

"Tell me what's going on." Yoshio demanded explanations from his driver.

"... B-Boss, they made me do all this!! They kidnapped my family!!"

"They who? What the hell are you talking about?!"

"It was the-"

*Slash!*

Before the driver finished his words, his head was severed.

*Slash!* *Slash!* …

Arms, legs, chest. All parts of the driver's body were cut into pieces.

"Y-Yoshio…" Sachiko was completely horrified. She had never seen so much blood and brutality in her life. Her body was shaking.

"Let's go out-"

*Slash!*

The car was cut in half.

"COME!" Yoshio took Sachiko's hand and started to run. A moment after they got out of the car, several other cars appeared on the street. It was Yoshio's bodyguards.

"Boss!"

"We are being attacked! Get your weapons!" Yoshio stayed behind the security guards with Sachiko beside him. The current situation was very bizarre, so Yoshio decided to call the police, but when he tried to make a call.

>Out of area service

"Shit!"

*Applause!* *Applause!* *Applause!*

When Yoshio and Sachiko were thinking of a solution, they heard a clapping sound. Looking down the middle of the street, a man was standing there. They didn't know how that man appeared there so suddenly, but they were sure he didn't come with good intentions. Sachiko's security guards pointed their guns at the man.

"Who are you and what do you want with us?!" Yoshio yelled.

"It's nice to meet you, Sir. Yoshio. Seeing a great tycoon like you is rare, but seeing a tycoon like you with a desperate expression on his face is even rarer. Hehehe." The man said with a sinister laugh. His face was bandaged, so his smile was even scarier.

"Shoot!!" Yoshio already knew this man was an enemy, so there was no need to hesitate.

*Gunshots!!* *Gunshots!!* *Gunshots!* …

The security guards obeyed orders and fired hundreds of shots at the man; Nonetheless…

"Hehehe… that won't work on me." The shots caused zero injuries to the man's skin.

…

"W-What… the hell are you?!"

-

Keiichi chased his parents' car for 1 hour. He knew his parents were taking a business trip. That day, Keiichi had been left alone at home (not including the security guards). It was also on that day that…

Arriving at the place where his parents had stopped the car, Keiichi saw that his parents' security guards were shooting at a man.

"What's going on?..." He was confused when he saw the man was unharmed after receiving hundreds of shots.

"Is this… magic?!"

-

W-What… the hell are you?!" Yoshio thought he was hallucinating or that this was all a dream. How could anyone get away with it after being shot hundreds of times?

"Hehehe… check this out, is the great tycoon Yoshio scared?" The man said with a laugh. "Unfortunately, I don't have time to answer your questions."

*Slash!* …

In less than 3 seconds, all the security guards were cut in half. The once-cleaned street was now covered in blood.

"You don't know anything about our world. The financial power you've acquired isn't enough to protect you. Your choices have had consequences for you. And today…you'll pay for them." The man raised his hand towards Sachiko and Yoshio…

"SACHIKO!" Yoshio stood in front of Sachiko to protect her.

-

"STOP!" Keiichi shot towards the man. The pain in his heart was consuming him. The desperation and fear of seeing his parents die right in front of him was taking over his thoughts.

Keiichi attacked the man with punches and kicks, but to no avail. He was unable to do anything in this situation.

"Goodbye." The man made a hand gesture.

"YOSHIO!!"

"DAD!!"

*Slash!*
