"It tiring...I don't want to live anymore..."
The lifestyle of the 12-year-old kid Six had completely changed. After a few months of being chased, being scammed, being threatened, being coveted like a treasure chest...He had reached the end life of his hearts.
Even after escaping from one area to an area, he was still chased by prison guys and he cannot even stay in one place for more than 3 days. He cannot take it anymore. Several times, Rei had consoled him but this time...He had given up until...

Year 20xx, Area 1187
In an alleyway, it was dark. Creeping with mice, insects, and even plagues. There, Six was crouching lifelessly.
"Rei...I think I cannot go on anymore. Anywhere I go, I was condemned. Because of my bounty, I cannot even trust people since they are blind by money. I..."
Rei can only silently watch her host have a mental breakdown for a while. Six silently walked solemnly while ignoring the people he stumbled upon. Feeling grief, his feet brought him to a secluded place near the corner of the alleyway.
He was silently on his knees, trying to figure out his life when he suddenly heard a sound.
Tap
Tap
Tap
It was unknown to him what sound is that and closed his eyes. Hoping that the sound maker doesn't even realize he was there.
Avail to his worries, the sound came even more clear and even louder. It means the person making the sound was almost near. Six feared that his worries would become true.
Then, it stops. He hasn't heard it anymore. He opens his eyes and sees a man with sleek black hair, sunglasses, and using a cane as a support in front of him.
Blind man, standing in front of him while gazing at Six. He then opens his mouth.
"Little brat, it seems you are lost."
"..."
Six went quiet for a while and wanted to ask Rei for help but she remained silent since the Blind man was in front of them. Six then replied to the Blind man.
"Yes. I don't know how to live this way."
"Then, what way do you want to live?"
"The life I wanted..."
"Do you have wishes?"
"Wishes...Perhaps I do"
The Blind man smiled a bit.
"What kind of wish do you have?"
Six then thinks for a while before pointing his finger to the sky. The Blind man sensing his finger pointing, also gazes toward the sky.
"I want to unite the stars."
Six answers make Blind man smile more visible this time and Six saw that.
"After that?"
"I...I want to find the way to die"
"I see"
The Blind man smiled a while before he hit his cane twice. As a water droplet falls, the ripple slowly appears and illuminates the area.
The whole alleyway was bright but no one even noticed it since Blind man had isolated the area from the beginning. A huge circle with patterns came up as the light and the Blind man was standing at the center of the circle while Six was at the middle left.
Six remain speechless with Blind man prowess. He is still staring at the Blind man, wondering what's going to happen.
The Blind man then opens his mouth again, "Do you think you can become stronger?"
"Yes, so that I will never have any regrets again!"
"What is the reason you want to become stronger?"
"So that I can decide the fate!"
"Kuku...Hahaha"
The Blind man finally laughed. Six remain resolute in front of the powerful man. He beckons Six to come closer.
Six come closer to the inner circle the Blind man was standing. It was the brightest area of the circle and he raised his hand just above Six and opened his mouth.
"With my authority as Bai second generation, I will give you the name Bai. With this, you will inherit the name, the legacy, the responsibilities, and the curse of Bai."
"And as per the tradition, I will become your guardian. You will know more about my role. With this, I will change my name to Klaus. My name now will be Blind man, Klaus. And you will name yourself Bai from now on. Do you consent?"
Six went silent for a while and digested every word the Blind man said.
He then, with eyes full of fire ever-changing color said, "Yes. I consent and I will take on the name, the legacy, the responsibilities, and the curse of Bai. From this moment on, I will name myself Bai and become Bai third generation. And you, Klaus, will be my guardian and no longer allowed to die until a new successor emerges."
Klaus smiled and touch Bai's shoulder. Bai then felt everything entering his body. Bai's will, memories, and experience.
"From this moment, live till you reach your wishes. Live till you reaches your strongest. Live till you fight every adversity. Live till the end of your time, Bai"
"Klaus... "
Bai feels sentimental a bit after hearing Klaus's words. After the ceremony ended, lightly begin to dim and the area began to return to the same as before.
Klaus and Bai stare at each other for a moment before Klaus gives a small knock on his shoulder. He smiled while starting to leave.
"Good luck, Bai. I will come to give you information if you need it"
"Hmm"
After that, Klaus vanishes even before Bai could blink his eyes. He snorted for a while and recall his soul crystal.
"Rei, you can come out now. I know now the truth of this universe, this name, and also your existence."
"..."
Bai, after the ceremony, processed the information he received and it was tremendous. A huge amount of information was sent into his brain making it harder for him to sort it.
Luckily, he now knows how to effectively use his abilities. With that, he proceeded to kill a few rats.

Year 29xx, Area 83921
A bloodbath occurs. Bodies piling on top of each other and a person is sitting on top of the pile of bodies under the red moonlight.
The silhouette then takes a dead body and drinks the blood until there's nothing left.
"Soon... It will be mine. "
After throwing the body, he started to laugh maniacally.
"Kuku-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
With Six taking the name Bai, a new story will emerge from each person, and gears of fate will undoubtedly make the unfortunate, the fortunate, the strongest, the weakest, the genius, the loser, and more meet.
