The space was dimly lit, a singular bulb hanging from the top of the warehouse. The boy saw a huge group of men, all armed with various weapons, such as swords, axes, and knives. In the middle of the group, there was a chair, in which a figure was seen sitting.
The figure had a black eyepatch covering his left eye, had a black suit and tie on, and wore black gloves. The figure also wore a top hat and had some sort of animal cape, which was of course, black in color as well. He had a scar across his face, and had predatory eyes, as if they were itching to kill. On the figure's was a massive sword, almost identical to the supernatural's blade the boy fought earlier.
The boy instantly recognized the figure as the man on the bounty paper, and unsheathed his katana. The gang boss started to smile, and then laugh like a crazy person, as if he was mentally insane. He then asked the boy, "Hey kid, is it really just you who is going to fight me?"
The kid did not respond, but instead charged straight towards the boss, cutting down the men in his way before they could get in an attack stance. However, something felt off, as the boy noticed that none of the men were moving, even when he was approaching their boss fast. The gang boss suddenly smiled again and then the boy felt danger and ducked, narrowly dodging a slash from an axe from behind. The boy stepped back and looked to see who the attacker was, but the sight in front of him startled him. The attacker had its chest slashed by a katana, and its head dismembered severely, however it was holding an axe and charging towards the boy. The boy dodged the incoming attack again and counterattacked, severing the head, causing the body to finally fall.
Before the boy could catch his breathe, an another man that looked exactly like the creature he just killed swung its sword at him.
The boy parried his attack and also chopped his head off, when suddenly, five more men jumped him, all with weapons and dismembered faces. The boy managed to block some of the attacks, however he got nicked on the cheek by an axe and stabbed underneath his right ribs with a folding knife. The pain instantly was felt throughout his body, and the boy quickly cover the wound with his hands. He then slashed at the two men in front of him, and sliced both their heads off. He thorn dodged thr attacks coming from the back and sliced another head off.
As the boy was fighting, the boss was carefully observing the fight that was occuring before him. He thought about how the boy was quite skilled with using a katana and how he was able to keep his composure while fighting multiple opponents.
The boy finally killed the last attacker, however when he looked around, he noticed that he was still surrounded by a huge group of these dismembered men. He looked at the exit, however it was blocked by the huge horde of that was slowly closing in on him. The boy suddenly heard the gang boss laughing, and looked back to see him clapping as well. The gang boss finally said, "Hey kid, the situation looks pretty dire for you. Why don't you come join me in overtaking Japan? I'll take good care of you. I mean, you don't really have much of a choice anyway."
The boy thought about the deal for a little, as it did sound pretty tempting as it would not be bad to be under the protection of someone with a large group of men, even if they were heavily dismembered. After all, supernatural attacks were happening quite frequently nowadays, and he could not be there for the girl at all times, especially when she is at school. However, the dismembering faces of these men were highly suspicious, and the boy was worried the gang boss keeping his side of the deal, so the boy instead just headed for the gang boss with his katana in hand.
The gang boss sighed, and then signaled something with his hand, and all the men around him rushed toward the boy with their weapons. The boy kepted swinging his katana all over the place, making sure to cut off limbs and heads instead of mere cuts. Blood splattered everywhere, and the boy was starting tire out from the constant barrage of attacks from these people. A rouge ace was slashed towards his hands, so the boy dodged, however he still ended up with a cut on his pinky, and then had to duck as a sword was swung directly at his head.
The boy kept slashing, slower advancing towards the gang boss, however the amount of these men did not seem to decrease at all. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his foot, and looked down to see that one of these men had stabbed his right foot with a knife. He kicked the man away and kept attacking, as he had no time to pull out the knife. As his foot was bleeding profusely, he finally defeated all the men in the room, however was now completely covered in cuts and stab wounds.
The boy looked at the gang boss, who seemed to be amused, and then started to approach him. The gang boss chuckled and grabbed his humongous sword. The boy suddenly felt as if he was about to be sliced in half, and dodged to the right, barelyd dodging a red slash that materialized from the gang boss swinging the sword at him. The slash hit the wall, however when the boy looked back, he saw that there was no mark left behind.
The boy's vision suddenly turned red, and he noticed that the entire room was now bright red. The boy finally realized that the supernatural he fought earlier was not the real one. As the boy was shocked at this revelation, the gang boss swung his sword again, forcing the injured boy to get out of the slash's way once again. The boy realized that he was not fighting any ordinary man, but instead a contractor, which was when a human made a contract with a supernatural in which the human was able to use the powers of the supernatural freely for a hefty price.
The boy tried attacking the gang boss once more, however the contracted boss noticed it, parried it, and kicked the boy, sending the boy flying backwards. The boy lost his grip on the sword and coughed up blood. The wounds that the boy recieved from killing all the men around him started to bleed like crazy, and the boy felt light-headed, likely from losing too much blood.
The gang boss started to laugh, and then approached the boy and grabbed him by the neck. The gang boss saw the boy struggling to break free, and deciding to throw him to the wall, making the boy groan in pain. The gang boss then said, "Hey boy, you're a really good fighter. I really don't want to kill you yet. How about we stop fighting and I just turn you into one of the men you fought earlier? After all, it would be a pointless struggle if you decide to fight back."
The boy seemed like he was about to say something, and the gang boss was anticipating that the boy was going to give up, until the boy landed a right punch to the gang boss' face. The man staggered back, and before he could recover, the boy hit him with another punch to the jaw, and the boy started to throw hands, punching the gang boss everywhere, mostly the vital points, such as the face and the ribs.
Unfortunately, the gang boss threw a punch which connect directly to the boys jaw, and the boy went flying back. The boss then grabbed his huge sword, approached the boy, and sliced the boy's left arm off.
The gang boss then grabbed the boy and threw him again, causing the boy to smash into another wall. The man then approached him and then started to beat up the boy, punching him everywhere.
As the boy was getting beaten up, all the boy could think about was the girl at school, and how lonely she would be again when he dies and how there is going to be nobody there to take care of her.
The boy felt something touch his hand, and upon feeling it, he realized it was the handle of an axe. He quickly grabbed it and swung it at the surprised gang boss, who did not anticipate the boy to gain a weapon, and the boy managed to dig it into the man's skull. As the gang leader was screaming in pain and blood gushing out of the wound, the boy punched the man in the face, causing him to fall onto his back, and grabbed the axe from his head and hacked it onto the gang leader's face over and over again.
After a while later, the boy let go off the axe, as the gang leader's face was now nothing but a bloody mess. He suddenly felt all the pain from his body hit him at once, causing him to stagger, but somehow keep standing.
The boy noticed a trapdoor underneath where the chair was, and felt that something was calling to him. He approached the trapdoor, blood spilling everywhere, and saw an empty void underneath. Before he make sense of what was going on, he felt another huge wave of pain hit him, making his legs to give out, causing him to fall into the hole in the floor.
As the boy was about to go unconscious, he heard a faint voice calling out to him from far away. The voice grew louder and louder, and the boy wondered who it could possibly be. As the voice grew louder and louder, the boy could make out that it was a child's voice calling out to him.
"Onii chan, wake up!"
