My name is Red Bean, and I live in a small village outside Ryujin Castle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I was five years old, my village was targeted by robbers, my parents died in the fire to protect me, and my sister disappeared while covering me.

The village, which used to live in peace, turned into hell overnight. Everyone died, not even the elderly and children. Perhaps, my sister is still alive, but to be honest, I don't have much hope. Even if she was still alive, so many years had passed, and this kind of thing would have been indifferent for a long time.

I fled the village, hoping to find someone to avenge me. However, even in the imperial capital of Balowa, I have not found anyone willing to help. First, no one would care about me as a five-year-old child, second, I didn't have enough money to impress their hearts, and third, everyone was afraid of those guys, after all, it was a group of scorpion bandits that had become very famous in recent years, and it was said that even the elite soldiers sent by His Majesty the King never returned.

I became a homeless orphan and lived a life that existed only in my imagination. I was only five years old and didn't have the ability to support myself, so the only way I could survive was to beg.

However, humans are selfish and ruthless creatures, and I have learned this deeply during my years of wandering in Ryujin City. They didn't look at me when I was about to freeze to death on the side of the road, like I was a wild dog everywhere.

Gradually, I began to hate everything in the world, even the omnipotent elemental god.

As long as you can live, as long as you can get revenge, it doesn't matter what you do. If I don't exist in their eyes, then I don't need to treat them as human beings. This is the way this is the world, only those who survive are strong, and those who die of hunger are always waste.

So, I started doing some bad things, from stealing things to killing people.

It's not like I haven't considered robbery, but unfortunately, I'm naturally weak, and it's impossible to rely on strength to rob other people's property. So, whenever I was in a hurry to use the money, I would ambush myself in the dark corners of the red light district, waiting for the drunken rich kids to show up and stab them when they were paralyzed by alcohol.

Like now......

"Ah, it's so cold today, why haven't those guys come out yet. I cowered in the corner and breathed into my hands, hoping to dispel a hint of cold.

I don't know why, the business of this shop has always been very good, and the men who knew at a glance that they were rich people would come here every night. It's strange that when I go in, I look expectant, and when I come out, I don't think they have any more products in their hands.

"Huh?"

At the end of the alley, there seemed to be someone.

I hope it's a rich son, otherwise if I can't get the money, I'll starve again today.

The snow was falling very much, and the figure of that person seemed very blurry. I couldn't see his face clearly, I couldn't see what he was wearing, so I couldn't be sure who he was.

But......

"It's a woman......" I said, looking at the long hair fluttering in the snow.

Really, a woman shouldn't walk in this kind of place in the middle of the night, it's easy to get into trouble. This year alone, I have seen no fewer than ten corpses here at night, and no soldier has ever come to inspect them. Their bodies were as if they didn't exist, and no one paid attention to them until the day they decomposed.

The world is cruel.

"Ah...... That's it...... I...... We...... I'll have a good time next time......"

"Of course, I can play with you whenever you want. ”

Someone came out.

I abandoned the long-haired woman and turned my gaze to the man.

Gorgeous clothes, rings on his hands, and the woman who supported him was always smiling. That's right, this must be a rich man, as long as he is drunk, he will not be hungry for the rest of his life.

The woman didn't send him on, which made me happy, and if she did, I'd have to find my next target. As I said before, my body is very weak, and I may not be able to beat a little girl of my age, let alone two adults.

"Uh......h The place where the old thing is recommended...... Really...... Nice......"

He seems to be very drunk, which is good, and the more drunk he is, the easier it will be for me to kill him.

"Whew......" I exhaled, my eyes fixed on the shaky man.

The footsteps of "......" fell, splashing a pinch of snowflakes.

Now is the time!

I clenched the knife in my hand and rushed towards the man.

He didn't notice it, and it was good, good.

"Poof...... knife and plunged it into his back.

This time, it was inserted deeply, and the blood splattered from my body stained my face red.

The smell of blood, fishy, but it seems to have a little sweetness.

Am I really bad if I killed another person......

"Bang!"

There was a sharp pain in his face, as if he had hit something.

He's not dead?! How is this possible! This stab of mine is very deep! It stands to reason that I will not survive!

At the neck of my neck, I felt a feeling of pressure, and my whole body began to lift off the ground, and it became difficult to breathe.

"Whew...... Huh...... Stinky Boy...... Who are you...... Why do you want to kill me......" His eyes were bloodshot, as terrible as a wild beast, and the force in his hands gradually increased, as if he wanted to strangle me.

"Uh......h ......"I wanted to speak, but I couldn't."

No, if I continue like this, I'll be strangled, and I'll have to find a way to escape.

My feet began to kick around, and I no longer knew if it was an instinctive struggle, or if I had voluntarily ordered my body to resist.

"Whew...... OK...... Lao Tzu's body...... Strengthened by the power of the hedron...... Otherwise......" he said, pressing me hard against the wall. "It's really dead!"

"Whoa-wow-" I let out a scream, my tied hair falling apart, and a sweet and greasy taste coming from my mouth.

"Oh......? Originally...... It's a woman...... Take a closer look...... It's still very good-looking...... Just right...... It's a bit smaller...... But Lao Tzu is now holding back the fire in his belly......" There was an extra smile on his face, a smile that made people feel uncomfortable.

A pain came, and I seemed to fall to the ground again.

"Cough cough ......" blood, sliding from the corners of the mouth.

I wanted to escape, but I really didn't have the strength to stand up......

"Hee-hee...... Hee-hee-hee-hee......" He smiled, his eyes red, and he looked terrible.

"Woo......" I was thrown to the ground, and all my limbs were crushed.

He...... What exactly do you want to do...... Why do you feel so scared......

Who's going to ...... Help me......

No one responded, of course, how could someone like me risk me.

"Uh......h Woo-ah......" The man let out a scream, his face distorted, and he seemed to be in pain.

The short wailing stopped, and he lay on top of me like he was dead.

"Are you alright?"

The man, like I stretched out his hand......
