Kinsei had a rather ordinary human life, going to school, playing games and fearing Wizards. Today, he sat in class while playing a game of a tik-tack-toe Tournament, whoever would win, earns 10,000 yen and Kinsei was going up agaisnt the last competitor.
“If i put my X in the bottom right corner, it would make myself unnoticeable during the end.”
Kinsei thought to himself.
Kinsei’s opponent placed his O in the middle.
“Good.”
Kinsei thought while putting an X in the top left corner.
Kinsei’s opponent placed his O in the bottom left corner.
“Fell right for my trap!”
Kinsei spoke while placing an X in the top left corner.
“God dammit!”
The opponent yelled as he placed a O in the top center.
Kinsei would finish off the round by placing his X in the middle right side. After the tournament ended, he and his friend Shaeso would laugh while walking back home.
“What will you plan to do with that money?”
Shaeso questioned.
“It’s for my mother, she is deathly sick.”
Kinsei sadly looked down on the floor.
“I hope she will make it out alright, see you tomorrow!”
Shaeso left Kinsei.
After a while of walking, Kinsei saw red and blue flashing lights at his house.
“What are you doing, huh?!”
Kinsei screamed at the Ambulance and Cops.
“Son, please calm yourself.”
An officer spoke.
Kinsei froze to see his mother being escorted into the Ambulence Van.
“What the fuck?!”
Kinsei screamed as he tried running to the van.
“Stay back!”
The Officer pushed Kinsei down onto the floor.
“Please…is she okay?”
Kinsei began tearing up on the floor.
The cops replied with nothing as Kinsei mourned.
-The Next Day-
Kinsei spent the whole day in the Hospital, watching his mother on the bed.
A man dressed in a grey-suit approached him and sat next to him.
“Sir, would you like to save her?”
The man spoke.
“…Last thing i need is a pedophile talking to me.”
Kinsei whispered to himself.
“No, it’s not that…i know magic.”
The man spoke while his hand began glowing yellow.
“Ah god!”
Kinsei flailed onto the floor in fear.
“The hell is that, you’re a wizard?”
Kinsei’s hands covered his face, as his widened eyes peaked through.
“I can save her, believe me or not?”
The man spoke smiling.
“Name your price, i will do anything!”
Kinsei kneeled down and pleaded.
“There’s no price, i just need you to visit this town’s Church at 11:00pm…”
The man calmy replied.
“That’s a little bit late.”
Kinsei pondered.
“It has to be that way.”
The man smiled.
“I will see you there.”
The suited man left the hallway as he threw a piece of mint candy to him.
-11:00pm-
Kinsei and Shaeso entered the Church, opening the large crimson door, seeing man standing alone in the dark.
“Kinsei, who is this?”
The same man looked over at the friend.
“My name is…Shaeso.”
Shaeso fearfully spoke.
The man let out a faint sigh.
“Glass Beam!”
The man shot a line of glass-magic at Shaeso.
“Uah!”
Shaeso felt a sharp, shards of glass slash open his body.
“Sh-Shaeso!”
Kinsei screamed.
The man picked Kinsei off the floor and threw him into the Church’s chairs.
“Ah!”
Kinsei yelled in pain.
“Are you done?”
The man picked Kinsei off the floor.
“Get off of me!”
Kinsei yelled as he punched him in the chest.
A voodoo doll fell out of his suit.
“Bastard.”
The man yelled as he punched Kinsei down into the floor.
The man held a piece of Shaeso’s hair and placed it into the voodoo doll’s chest. The man broke the leg’s doll.
“Aaaaah!”
Shaeso screamed in agony.
“Now, walk to me.”
The man commanded of the Doll.
Shaeso began walking to him, his one broken leg trembling with each step, leaving bloodied footprints as he walked.
“Let him…GO!”
Kinsei lunged onto the man, tugging at his head.
“Glass Laceration!”
The man conjured glass that cut open Kinsei’s shoulder.
“You will make a vessel for me to possess.”
The man laughed.
Kinsei grabbed both the Voodoo doll that fell on the floor, including the hair he pulled off the man.
“How did you-”
The man’s eyes widened as Kinsei stabbed the Doll’s throat.
“Gauh!”
The man kneeled down, holding his throat.
“Enough games, now heal my mother!”
Kinsei screamed as he pulled the pin out of the doll’s throat.
“Heheheh, that was a lie…she will DIE a painful death.”
The man laughed.
“No, NO, you’re lying, there’s no way!”
Kinsei’s face grew red as tears streamed down his face.
“DIE!”
Kinsei’s screams echoed in the Church as he pulled the head off the doll, decapitating the man.
“Shaeso!”
Kinsei ran over to his friend, who fell back down onto the floor, being broken free from the Doll.
“Call the police…and save your mother.”
Shaeso closed his eyes, eventually succumbing to his wounds.
-Epilogue-
Kinsei lost two people that day, his friend and his mother. While he did lose some, he gained the profession of Voodoo magic, but he wanted more…
He began searching for ways to revive his mother and friend in means of Gods, hoping by summoning one, they will grant his wish and bring them back from the land of the dead.
-The End-
