Chapter 1 - Seeds of Vengeance

"Oath" is the mysterious power that exists in this world, a power considered impossible, a power always regarded as fiction. There are various fictional events that occur in this world, some even recorded, yet no one believes those recording, "it clearly is AI", "why the bad quality?", "nice editing." they said. The government also denies them, claiming it's all just editing, but some remain skeptical of the government's statements. They believe that such power truly exists in this world, that it is hidden by the government, and used by the government.

This story begins with Dai, a young boy leading a normal life, just like any other child. Dai's family is wealthier than average; he lives in a fairly large house, and he is the only child in his family, the first and only child. He was deeply loved by his family, and as a child, Dai was disciplined and obedient, always listening to his parents' words. He was also someone who always wanted to learn new things. He would often go to his father's office to read the books on his father's bookshelf. His father was always surprised to see how enthusiastic Dai was about reading those books, even though children his age typically just wanted to play.

Five years had passed since Dai's birth, and he had learned many new things through the books he had read over the past year. His parents were very proud of him, and at that time, Dai received good news: his parents were expecting a sibling, which Dai had been eagerly awaiting. Dai was overjoyed, as he would finally have a sibling to protect and love.

However, that happiness did not last long. At midnight, Dai heard a loud noise outside his house. Suddenly, his mother came into his room and told Dai to enter a secret place he had never seen before while living in that house. Dai was confused and asked his mother what was happening, but she only told him to be a good boy and wait inside. Dai obeyed, entered the secret room, and waited, waited, and waited.

Dai had been in that room for two days, surviving on the food supplies available inside. He couldn't leave because it seemed the secret door was locked from the outside. While waiting, Dai was terrified, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, the secret door opened, and when he went out, he shouted for his mother and father. He then went downstairs to look for his parents, but he found bloodstains leading to the kitchen and saw his father's body. Terrified, Dai immediately ran to look for his mother but couldn't find her anywhere. He was extremely panicked. However, one thing he realized was that his mother and younger sibling were still alive and that made Dai panic's decrease. 

Dai reported the incident to the police. When the police arrived, they were amazed that a five-year-old child is so calm in the situation that his currently in. Dai waited at the police station, waiting to be picked up by his grandfather, the only family he had. Dai and his grandfather weren't very close.

When they returned home, Dai's grandfather asked, "Son, do you want revenge? Do you want to know the truth?"

Dai, with a vengeful gaze and filled with anger, immediately replied, "Yes, grandfather, my vengeance will never fade. I cannot live in peace if I do not avenge my family. Not only that, my mother and younger sibling might still be alive; I must find them, even if it costs me my life."

"Hmm... However, this path will not be easy to walk. You are like me; you will walk a path filled with blood; a life bound by a blood oath. Know this, my child: your father died because of me, and my child—your mother—was also attacked by me. Now I'm powerless, son. I can't help you find your father, but I'll train you because you have my blood, the blood oath. And that's what they're looking for, son. Your mother has that blood, and it gives strength. Know this too: you'll walk a path of suffering." His grandfather spoke with great seriousness.

"Grandfather. I've lost my father, but I still have the chance not to lose my mother and sister. I must find them, even if it takes 10 or even 20 years. If that's how my life is now, then so be it, because I can't live with this hatred." Dai said.

"Is that so? You truly have my blood, the blood of ambition, vengeance, and strength. Even though you're only five years old, you think like an adult. Before you embark on this path, make a vow with your blood! Swear by your blood! Say, 'I swear, I swear by my blood, and I will live only for my revenge, for that is the blood oath.'" His grandfather shouted.

"I swear! I swear by my blood, I will avenge my father's death, eradicate that evil, and find my mother and sister, that is my life now! Life for the blood oath!"

After saying that, the grandfather suddenly slit Dai's chest, revealing his heart. Dai was shocked, but he lost consciousness.

Sixteen years had passed, and Dai had grown into an adult, now 21 years old. During those sixteen years, Dai lived with his grandfather in a fairly isolated place, far from both city and village. He trained with his grandfather every day for those sixteen years, training nonstop each day. During training, Dai's grandfather approached him and said, "Dai… It's time for you to leave. You still have plenty of time, but my time is running out. Go, find your mother and sister, and avenge your father. Eliminate them, for that is your purpose in life—to eliminate your enemies and avenge your grievances."

"Yes, Grandfather, but I will leave tomorrow. Let me spend this night talking with you for the last time," said Dai.

"Alright, if that is your wish," said Grandfather, nodding.

Night fell, and Dai and his grandfather spent their time talking about the past, the present, and the future. Dai's grandfather was very happy because he could talk with his grandson for the last time, for he knew that it would be the last day of his life. Morning came, Dai woke up, prepared his belongings to leave, and went to look for his grandfather. He saw his grandfather sitting under a tree. Dai realized that his grandfather was no longer alive, and he understood that his grandfather wanted him to bury him there, right under that tree. Dai buried him and did not forget to pray for his grandfather. Dai then left to begin his journey.
