Zephren Amaranth. A man with very little reputation in his name. Born in a lower class family and lives in a remote village near a kingdom. After both of his parents passed away, him and his sister Victoria searched for a way to earn some money, due to the lack of money their parents left them. And so they reside in the outskirts of the Argos empire near where they used to lived. They both picked up a job as trash collectors, picking up trash from nearby establishment. Because of their family status, none of the high paying job offers accepted them.
"Phew, that's the last one." wiping off the sweat from his forehead.
After collecting some trash from the church, he walked down the street, with a sharp gaze and long black hair running down his shoulder, figure that is slim and tall, coupled with an average face. He's only defying feature is his distinct eyes, with a ruby like hue and a keen pupil, he looks awfully like a vampire. Such an extraordinary feature is wasted on a commoner like him.
He has a troubled look on his face, staring at his wallet, nothing but pennies left. He sighed, The fact that he has a job but isn't making enough money sadden him deeply. As he was counting his pennies, he accidentally bump into someone, causing his pennies to fall and scatter on the ground.
"Hey! watch where you're going!" Said the old man that bumped into him. Irritated and annoyed, with a cigar pipe in his mouth and fancy suit he wear, and with the body of a beast, he towers over him. He looks like a person with a noble status.
"…" Zephren thinks for a few seconds, being careful with his words. He knew if he gets into this guys skin, he'll get beat up badly in front of everyone.
"What! cat got your tongue!?"
"S-sorry, i was distracted. I didn't see you, I'll be careful next time sir." he immediately bowed.
The old man takes a good look of him, and glances at the coins on the ground.
"Mmhhh?, You'd better be, by the looks of it, you're really poor. Ha ha ha. Next time know your place trash!" With his ego high, and a smug look on his face he finally continued walking away.
Zephren unbothered, picks up the scattered coin on the ground, while kneeling down someone bumped into him again, causing the picked up coins in his hands to fall. Once again Zephren sighed, it seems like he is used to being invisible to others, its like his presence is completely gone. brushing off the dirt, he picked up all the coins and continued walking.
As he was walking he saw a vendor that is selling some bread, thinking back, he remembers that his sister didn't ate earlier in the morning. He prepares to buy the bread but he didn't realize that his money isn't enough to buy even one piece of bread. Sadden by the dilemma, he has no choice but to skip the delicious and scrumptious bread.
He resumes to stroll around the kingdom, the sight of folks shopping and the smell of fresh air, he can't help but to be at awed by the sight, even though he lives near the kingdom, it is still a beautiful view.
A group of kids down ran the streets, a hint of nostalgia hits him, reminiscent of an old memory, a good one at that. Lost in thought, a sudden loud sound comes from inside the church. Bells, the sound of bells ringing echoed throughout the kingdom, hinting the afternoon is drawing to a close. It catches all the attention of everyone in the kingdom, including Zephren.
"Oh shoot, It's almost dark! I better head home quickly. Knowing sis, I bet she's already done with her shift, Unlike me who gets distracted easily."
Zephren frowned at himself, knowing damn well he isn't good and hard working as his sister.
He hurries his way through the kingdom as sweat drips from his forehead and his breathing out of tempo. At that moment, a loud eerie scream rang from a dark alleyway, causing all the surrounding birds to flock away, it sounded like a woman's scream. The loud screech caused Zephren to take notice; how wouldn't anybody notice?
"Wh-what was that?" In disbelief from what he hear just now, he can't help but to be morbidly curious. After thinking for a moment, he straighten up and quickly jolted to the dark alley way. He ran as fast as he can, praying something bad isn't going to happen. He finally arrive to the alley, and what he saw made his current mood resentful.
A girl is tied, with ropes all around her body, her hands tied behind her back and with a gag in her mouth. She was surrounded by a group of men, precisely 6 of them, they all had a sinister look on their faces and with a grin that can make anybody petrified. They laughed in amusement, as she struggled in the ropes, with tearful eyes, the only thing she can hope that someone will aid her on the situation at hand.
"Idiot! I told you to put in her mouth deeper. Shit i hope someone doesn't hear that."
"Sh-shut up! it's not my fault she's moving around viciously." One of them said.
Desperate, she let out a shriek while her mouth is gagged, but the thing in her mouth is too far deep, she only let out a muffled scream, only someone within the vicinity of the alleyway can hear her cry for help.
"Look at you cowering like a little dog~"
"This is what you get for teasing us using your sexy body!"
"Mmhhh~ H-H-Hel-pp!" she tried to scream but the gag in her mouth obscure her plead for help.
"Uhhh boss, i can't anymore can we start using her already?!"
"Hold on, as your boss I'm the one who shall be first, so sit back and wait for your turn."
All the men except for the boss frowned.
"Well, time to dig in!" He said with his lustful eyes, and with a lewd expression.
Hearing those words the girl eyes froze, and with a pale appearance, tears ran down her soft and delicate face.
She thinks in her mind "Is this how I'm going to lose my maidenhood? Why... of all people…Why me..?" her mind went blanked.
And so he lifts up his hand, about to do something horrible. As he was about to touch her chest, he was suddenly kick in the back of his head, knocking him out instantly.
"B-Boss! Why you little sh-" One of them said as a fist punched the side of his face, with a sound of bone cracking, it knocked him out cold.
All the other goons were shocked, the attack was unexpected, they looked at their passed out companion. All of them had a stunned look on their faces, the attack was so sudden they didn't have time to react. They glanced who attacked them. It was Zephren himself, with a face of displeasure and fist clenched as hard as he could, his mind were filled with wrath, but behind all of that, all he could do is hide away all of his bitterness.
