It's the night of Lura's death. Trying to sleep was a nightmare, just as the actual nightmares that were happening once Kirito was actually asleep. Just the repeat of her realizing that she's actually dead. The cough, the blood. Kirito's complete, and utter shock. Lura was the only person to care after his mother passed on from this world. She was his first crush. She gave him presents on his birthday, and Christmas. 

Lura was, in a sense his world. Most people's minds would break, but not Kirito. He's obviously affected, but he has a purpose now. Kill... Kill Maccus, a person who used to be his father. Maccus ordered his death, which caused Lura's death. He now wants revenge, and nothing will stop him.

Now anyone who knew the two, or just Lura, would say that Lura wouldn't want this for Kirito. She loved everyone, especially Kirito, and helped anyone who needed it. Lura cared deeply for those close to her. Her ultimate dream was for Maccus, and Kirito to make up, and love each other once again, like a father and son should.

But in Kirito's hate, and being caught up in the moment, he just didn't care about that. He wants revenge. Kirito wants Lura to be avenged. He wants to Maccus to see the pain he caused Kirito, by indirectly killing Lura.

It's been a couple of days since the death of Lura. He doesn't want to be recognized as that man's son. So, Kirito dyed a portion of the right side of his hair blonde, and tyed it in a ponytail with a few of the blonde pieces hanging in his face.

He has just made it in the nearest village. Wigston is it's name. It's famous for it's crime, and outlaws. This is also the village where Kirito would be known for the rest of his life as the "Black Swordsman".

Wigston's atmosphere is empty of love, happiness, and cheerfulness. It's atmosphere is full of anger, chaos, and everything deplorable. It looks like a standard village in Eswana, and is full of secrets just like the capital: Arescester (Well, no duh! Of course the capital is full of secrets).

Kirito feels the stares from Wigston's underbelly, as he asks a girl, "Where is the local inn."

The girl answers, "Oh, you mean the Wigston Inn? Well it's just down the street, and is just off the main road in, and out of Wigston."

Kirito follows the direction, and with a wave of thanks he leaves the girl alone. When he finds the Wigston Inn, he sees that the inn is a two-storey building of timber and brick walls, with dwarf-wrought iron tables and chairs. He enters the inn, and notices a small dragon's skull hangs over the hearth. Accomodations consist of several large rooms with beds and straw mattresses. The innkeeper is a thin male dwarf named Shatelch. He is a retired thief, and is rumored to have a hidden cache of stolen treasure. Not that Kirito cares, but he only knows who the dwarf is from the description that his "father" gave him.

Kirito walks up to the dwarf, and says, "I'd like a room for a couple nights."

Shatelch replies, "That'll be ten silver a night."

Kirito slams the correct amount on the counter, and Shatelch hands Cranel the key to the room. His room number? It's three. The key? It's just a standard key, with a semi-large metal three tied to it. Cranel finds the room, and enters it. Ready to sleep the night away, in which he does.

The next day, Kirito is eating some food at the bar that costs ten copper, when two people enter the Inn. They are bounty hunters. The first one says, "Hello, good people. We are bounty hunters looking for one: Manuel Cobain! He's the son of Maccus Cobain an Advisor to the King! Manuel wears all black, and has a black sword on his back. He has shoulder-length brown hair."

A shady looking man in the corner asks, "Why would you be looking for the kid?"

The second one answers, "He killed a high ranking military archer! That's treason, on top of murder. His father Maccus paid the Archer watch over his son while he traveled to Tennarts: School of Magic, Military, and Adventurers. But he is now missing."

Shatelch then whispers, "That's you their talkin' 'bout, right?"

Kirito whispering replies, "No! My name is Kirito Cranel Uzumaki. I may wear all black, have a black sword, and brown hair, but that's where the similarities end. I have blonde hair on the right side of my head. I am also wielding a bow and arrow. From what I hear Manuel-sama is always with an elvish maid."

Shatelch, still whispering says, "Guess you're right... Wait, how do you know that?"

Kirito just smirks, and then says, "I don't think an Advisor's brat would stay here, Bounty Hunter 1 & 2! So you two can leave. Your making my food taste bad."

The first bounty hunter asks, "Who are you, brat?"

Kirito answers, "Kirito Cranel Uzumaki. NOW! GET! THE! FUCK! Out of here. My food was really good until you two came here, and now you made it leave a bad taste in my mouth."

The second bounty hunter says, "Dude, this person looks like Manuel. Do you think it could be him?"

The first one replies, "It could be, but let's just take him in to be sure!"

As the two unsheath their swords, Kirito gets an arrow out. The first bounty hunter then swings his sword at Kirito, who then blocks the attack with the arrow. Kirito then kicks the other bounty hunter in the face, making him fall on his back. Cranel then pushes the sword away, and stabs the first bounty hunter in the heart, killing the man instantly. He then grabs another arrow, throwing into the heart of the other bounty hunter, again killing him.

Kirito grabs the two arrows cleaning them with a napkin, and then brings the bounty hunters outside, burying them with Earth Magic. When he reenters the WIgston Inn, Shatelch says, "You realize that they'll be after you, right?"

Kirito replies, "Let them. It's not like they'll be able to kill me. I'll leave now if you want."

Shatelch worriedly says, "You don't have to. Now sit back down at the bar."

Just then a tall man, with black eyes, and even blacker hair with a group of mean looking guys, kicks the door to the Inn down. He enters the Inn, and says, "GIVE ME ALL OF YOUR MONEY, AND SPECIAL ITEMS NOW!"

Kirito again whispering, asks, "Who's Blackey?"

Shatelch once again whispering answers, "Black Eyes Domenic. He's a leader of the Black eyed Bandits. The Black Eyed Bandits run this part of town."

Just then all of the drop what they are doing to follow the command, except Kirito. Black Eyes Domenic then spots Kirito. The Bandit Leader walks up to Kirito's back, and then grabs on to the sword. Kirito then quickly grabs an arrow, jabbing it into the stomach of Black Eyes Domenic. Cranel then slowly turns around, eyeing the man with all of his anger, and fury. He says, "YOU! HEATHEN! WILL! NOT! TOUCH! MY! SWORD!" The Uzumaki then quickly decapitates Black Eyes Domenic.

Kirito then quickly unsheathes his sword, as the group of bandits rush at him. The group of ten then, unsurprisingly, attack Kirito one at at time. The end results? All end up dead. Cranel then cleans his sword, and sits back down at the bar to continue eating his food.

Shatelch asks, "You know that now you run this part of town?"

Kirito replies, "Now I do. So what can you tell me about the other rulers?"

Shatelch asks, "Why, so you can kill them?"

Kirito answers, "Maybe, but it's not my end goal."

Shatelch asks, "If killing the other leaders is not your end goal then what is?"

Kirito says, "Maccus Cobain. He killed someone that I cared deeply for. A person you took care of me when my "father" couldn't, well, more like wouldn't. My mother also died early in my childhood, from a training accident. He, as in my "father" cared about me till the incident. As it just so happens to be, my "father's" name is Maccus Cobain. He hired that Archer to kill me."

Shatelch replies, "So, Maccus, your father wants you dead, because she died when you were prac... training?"

Kirito nods, "I was training my aim. When I lightning bolt hit my mother, killing her instantly."

Shatelch asks, "What's your Magic, and Mana Color?"

Kirito answers, "I have Black Fire, and Purple Lightning. I can also do Water Magic, Earth Magic, Darkness Magic, and Shadow Magic so far. My Mana color?"

Shatelch then digs through the shelves under the bar, and grabs a translucent crystal ball making it visible to Kirito. He says, "It is the Mana Color Indicator Ball. When you touch the ball, and then pour some of your Mana into is it changes to the color of your Mana. Yellow is the weakest. It then transitions to Orange, Red, Blue, Purple, and finally Black. Usually humans don't get above Blue colored Mana. All though some humans have gotten Purple colored Mana, but it's super rare for a human to have that color of Mana. Black is usually reserved for high-powered Demons; like Demon Generals, the Demon Lord, and his Queen. Angels have White, and any who have Angel ancestors have Pink. Demi-humans have green."

Kirito then places his hand on the ball, and pours some of his Mana into it. The color? Pitch Black. This shocks Shatelch, no this shocks the whole Inn. No human has ever gotten the Mana color of Black. No human has ever gotten the color of black, some have gotten Purple, but only one, or two humans have Purple colored Mana. Only High ranking Demons have Black colored Mana.

Shatelch then asks, "Have you heard about the rumor of Black Colored Magic?" Kirito shakes his head no, as the dwarf continues, saying, "Rumors say that a human boy with Black colored Mana will be born into this world, and be the next Demon Lord. You are the only known human with Black colored Mana."

Kirito asks, "So, I'm the next Demon Lord?"

Shatelch answers, "Apparently, but it's only hearsay. So with that out of the way, what are you going to do in regards to Wigston?"

Kirito answers, "I want you to be my right hand man, and my eyes and ears in this part of town. I'll kill the other Leaders next."
