Prologue
My name is Rim Ryoken and as you have guessed it I am from Japan.... Or it was supposed to be but I was born in a tiny country named, Askarin.
Due to my parents being infamous politicians they got caught red handed by the ZIORA — Zero-Intercept Operations & Recon Agency (No traces. No survivors. No proof it exists.) and SENTACOR — Sentinel Tactical Corps (Your last call before a regime crumbles.)
These two organization's existence is only known to the elites, prime minister and president. What do they do? Now that's a difficult question.....
According to my father, Kaishi Ryoken, They are independent organization free from the government's restrictions and they can do whatever they want.
Nobody knows if its a myth or legend, even i did not see them as i was still in my mom's womb.
We are in this small country due my father being wrongfully framed, and then exiled from Japan with nothing but 100,000 yen which sums up to 5000 Aesk, (Asekarin currency) which sums up to 100 yen = 5 Aesk.
My childhood was majestic, blessed with a friend Faris Bassam, from my apartment; loving parents, incredibly physical intelligence as well as IQ I felt unstoppable!!
But every beginning has an end... Don't they? Oh, how earth-breaking it was for the poor little and naive Rim.
Due to financial issues, we shifted apartment and the distance.... oh the distance felt like the end of the world to the poor little Rim and after that he never met Faris for a long time,
Then came the enemy who shows u the cold reality… "Maturity". I used to talk so loud and so carelessly i could call myself a fool, i didn't care what other felt, or how they reacted, i just joked, laughed, and repeated... but slowly and surely i stopped, only talking to my 2 best friends, Kaelan Alimov and Dara Talun.
Everything was going well and i was practically a beast in football, goals i scored felt like conquering mountains with a flick of my fingers... but I was gonna get such a heavy blow that i would be ruined to ashes, not even able to play sports again....
Covid-19, A damned virus which originated from China, Wuhan... spread rapidly across the globe causing the whole world a lockdown. And then my situation worsened...
Financial status of my family was already worsened but this... this.. Was the breaking point and both of my parents after a heated argument which felt for the 10 yr Rim as if he was watching a devil pulling the strings of his parents to catastrophe divorced.... and i stayed with my mother due to promise i made to never leave her side...
Then between the 2 years i was emotionally traumatized and wounded and immersed myself in social media and YouTube as well as online games... a particular game named Supergoal Legends, Where every player is a legend, and every goal is a battle.
I was a genius which i didn't realized and i emotionally depressed climbed the ladder like a monster and was in top 10 and an esports agency named MineBrawl recruited me...
After that i was back in my school but i changed myself drastically without noticing myself...
I was sitting quietly in the class, early in the morning yet my class was crowded as if there was an idol here... when..
Kaelan suddenly came up to me and i didn't notice him since i was too busy thinking how do i reunite my parents.. "Rim, bro you fine, why do u have dark circles.. Don't tell me u played SGL all night again??"
"Shut up Kaelan i was studying for the test", i say softly and coldly, unusually since i talked way loudly and jokingly as he sits beside me.
"Where is Dara?"
"You don't know? Oh yeah u bunked the online classes.. But he left the school due to Covid"
"Seriously! He didn't even message me! I guess its us two then" or so i thought 4 yrs ago...
I observe my surroundings, and I see the most beautiful girl in our class, Wadia her black hair styled in ponytails, and the piercing extroverted black eyes sending shivers down my body, to be honest…. I had a crush on her since class 1, knowing her since childhood I never spoke to her as I was too self-conscious and shy, she probably doesn't even know anything about me….
What a life of innocence was it back then wasn't it Young Rim…. sigh
"Dude where are u staring at.. huh?" Kaelan asks me in a mocking and playful tone, honestly infuriating
"Wadia, she looks as extroverted as ever…"
"Don't tell me u got a crus---"
"Shut up! Ofcourse not!" I deny as if my life depended on it, clearly flustered from his question.
"Hmm I see, bro she is out of your league, forget it" he says in a mocking tone
"Exactly and what the hell do you mean? I told you I am not interest---" she passes by me making me instinctively pause my sentence as I was baffled by her beauty, "yeah so I was saying I am not interested in her"
"We will see about that….." Kaelan says in a tone foreshadowing something that may occur in my future
"Yeah right, my ass" I say in a dismissive tone.
Fast forward to 6 months I suddenly get approached by Wadia's mom, as I was waiting for my friend, I did that everyday because the ache in my heart didn't repair and it was somewhat shattered due to cutting ties with Faris, even though we didn't want it.
"Son" she says in a innocent and kind tone making me relax a little from the sudden encounter.. "I am Wadia's mother, If u don't mind may I know? Where is your house?"
"Just beside the Shopping mall, the road beside it" I say nervously as it was my first time getting asked so suddenly and more by the mother of the girl I had a crush on. Damn it felt like a miracle
"Wonderful, its also the same for us!" she exclaimed kindly and cheerfully as she pointed Wadia who stood beside her
"So you see Rim, I would like you to drop my daughter if you can since I have aged and its hard to keep up with her childish demands, and as she is a girl I feel worried when she is alone so could u do it for me?" she asks kindly and a little tiny bit pleadingly.
What on the earth is happening?! is it a blessing? You are saying my crush's mom is asking me to drop my crush home?! What on the earth is happening?! I could jump like a monkey with joy for 1000 years if I want to!! That's what the young Rim AKA I thought.
"Ofcourse Aunty if she is comfortable then I have no problem, by the way aunty how do you know my name?" I ask kindly and calmly yet there is a sign of nervousness in me
"Wadia told me, she said there was this classmate of hers and she said me to as---" She is suddenly stopped my Wadia as she covered her mom's mouth, clearly flustered from what I was gonna hear
"Okay….. I get it" my mind crowding with million questions and my heart racing as if I will explode if I didn't calm myself
"Okay then, lets go Wadia?" I ask her gently and she answers normally, her expression unreadable to me due to my brain flooding with questions. Did she ask her mom to ask me?! Does she like me?! Will she propos---
Over the following 6 months miracles after miracles occurred. Wadia's mother asked my parents to send me to her so that I could study with the Wadia, she was the top girl in our class apart from her beauty. I was so thrilled and happy I felt like I am the protagonist of a rom-com anime. But that was just the beginning…
At first I thought she was this perfect girl who is good at everything but boy I was soo wrong. She was nothing like I imagined. She was really childish and emotionally sensitive, technically I can estimate her EQ to be negative 1,000. She talked not so kindly but not so harshly towards me.
I am studying in the living room in her house as she sits in front of me, "The great general Salauddin is the stron---" Wadia sudden asked, "Rim, come closer to me"
"Sure…" I go a bit closer to her.
"More closer"
"What the fuck is happening! Is she gonna kiss me?", My mind flooding with obscene thoughts like this,
"I hate you" she says nonchalantly
"Seriously?" I pull back and continue my studying, "Come up with better lame jokes "I say in a mocking tone as I continue my studying"
These are just one of our many interactions among which I remember vividly. To be honest now that I look at it… that was super cringe.
My friendship developed with her and I became her closest friend, I also became somewhat well-known due to spending my time with her, although there were some silly and envious rumors that I was in love with Wadia, We are dating and things like that, I ignored them. Wadia although a bit concerned just dismissed it, she even said right in front of my face in front of her friends that, "I will never ever make you my boyfriend, my tastes aren't that bad."
That kinda hurt my feelings but who cares? Haha......….
Now next year I was transferred to India for studying abroad for better opportunities and that really broke my social circle although I got like 15 new friends. Overall the year went great but due to my insistent demands I was not sent to India again.
Wadia's friend tells her in a serious yet sarcastic tone, "Bro Rim is definitely gonna propose to you!"
"No he wouldn't not after 2 years, he never tried anything fishy you know" she replies in a confident yet anxious tone "Would he?' she mutters softly to herself.
"Bro he definitely will, he is always kind to you and doesn't try to make you angry unlike Kaelan" She says in a way as if she was a love detective.
Wadia hearing all these rumors was convinced I'd do that, and here I was fully oblivious of what was happening
When I came back, Wadia broke all ties with me, I asked Rifad, my bestfriend, as he was studying with Wadia, in replacement of me as I was abroad and then he told me everything......… I fucked up.......
I came to Askarin during my vacation for 3 weeks and then I invited Wadia and Rifad to my house, there Wadia, hugged me and I mistakenly later messaged her, "Don't take it in a wrong way but I felt bamboozled and fuzzy when u hugged me in a good way" Damn I fucked up…
Wadia after seeing my message and all the rumors, just left me, as if she was disgusted at the mere sight of me.
Rifad told me, due to that idiotic mistake she despised me…
Then when I went to my old school the envious rumors were... damned…
A group of people took a piece of paper and wrote something while smirking at me
"Bruh what's their issue?"
"Who knows?" says Kaelan and Rifad.
The group of people gave it to Wadia and she starts crying?! "HUH?! what the actual fuck, what happened why is she crying like crazy???? Whaaat?!"
I go to the group and hold Jarid's collar," What the fuck did you write there? I am not joking I will seriously send you to hospital!" I was super angry, the whole class was scared..
The teacher enters, "Tch" I say grudging as I leave his collar and then I ask her friend what happened?
She told that. "So Rim, I don't know how you will feel but this is written here, Rim opens your panties and then he licks your pu**y"
I was shocked, bamboozled, as if my downfall finished before it even started, "What the actual fuck?!" I say angrily yet my expression seems betrayed as if the whole world back-stabbed me coldly leaving me to die...
I speak in my mind, "So instead of denying it or getting angry she cried????????? Does she hate me that much? Why Why??? Am I that ugly? Seriously? Can't she just deny it? Wasn't she joking when she said she hated me? Am I that despicable???" For the whole day it remained like this and she cried at least 3 periods, (1 hour 30 minutes)
That day when I went to her house and she flat out ignored me while I remained and studied with Rifad, she didn't even look at me
Over the following weeks, 2 years of friendship was broken in an instant due to my foolishness and other's despicable envy and jealousy…
It was right huh? "Every beginning has an end"
All of this was the cause of my own foolishness of being kind and her being emotionally blind. She was also fed rumors and that prank which Jarid did added fuel on the burning fire. She was honestly a good friend but it was only up to that… Now that I look at it she was dumb but I was dumber as I wrote that message about her hugging me and stuff. I was utterly broken and depressed.
Some months later I stopped going to her house as she said officially we were no longer friends in a phone call not even bothering to face me. After all she was now blind in my foolishness and rumors.
I was utterly and thoroughly broken piece to piece…. Shattered like glass, broken like bricks, and became isolated from my own-self.
Naturally that affected my e-sports even if it was only a little.
I stopped going to school and cooped my self in my room, my mother was on a business trip so I was alone..
I only talked with Rifad but that was it.
Then I decided to go to Japan because the suffering, the rejection, the jealousy, my friends gone, My parents divorced was all due to ZIORA and SENTACOR, I vowed "I will destroy these two organizations evil or not even if i die" I say so sincerely and brokenly an innocent soul might cry if they heard me while I was in that state.
I applied for the most prestigious academy in the entire world, Crimson Quill Academy or, Hifude Gakuen known in Japan, although it's widely known as Crimson Quill Academy internationally..
I passed with 99% on all subjects, I did that intentionally coz why not?
"My new life, Here I come and fuck you all! Jarid, Wadia, everyone!", I shout with anger and joy as I leave the airport and head for my apartment assigned by the academy,
Thus, began my life of revenge against ZIORA and SENTACOR and this one will not go down like before as I am not naive and idiot anymore like my 12 yr old-self I am now 16..
But in my own delusion this revenge I vowed for was just a reason to escape by broken life. Yet I was so determined
I am honestly, scared…
