Hakuji had to fight poverty from the moment he was born. To save his ailing father, he used his fists from a young age, committing all sorts of crimes. People viewed him as a mere criminal, but in his heart, he only had a desperate desire to protect his father. However, his father eventually gave up on life, and Hakuji was left alone. Left to himself, Hakuji lived in a state of rage and futility. Then one day, he met a martial arts master and felt warmth for the first time. Living with the master and his daughter, Koyuki, Hakuji was able to dream of a future for the first time. He believed he had found a reason to live. But happiness did not last long. While Hakuji was away for a short time, those harboring a grudge arrived and caused a terrible incident involving the master and Koyuki. Returning to witness the scene, Hakuji was consumed by a surging fury. He could not suppress the storm of emotions in his heart, and an intense rage and desire for revenge against those responsible began to burn within him.

My breath hitches at the top of my throat. Thinking of Koyuki's corpse again makes my head spin. The suppressed rage surges up, and the thought of gouging out their eyes and killing them fills my mind. ...
My breathing grows increasingly ragged, and my pupils dilate and contract repeatedly like a crazed beast. The men in front of me all show different reactions. One draws his sword and points it at me, while another falters in terror. ...Heh.
It's absurd. Seeing them react like that after brutally killing what was mine is quite laughable. My face gradually contorts as an uncontrollable, explosive rage breaks out, and I kill three of them in an instant.
...
After a long while, I have killed sixty-seven of the fools in the tavern with nothing but my fists. Their faces are crushed and their organs are scattered on the floor; it's quite a sight. I don't know when it started raining, but it's pouring down like Koyuki's tears.
..Hm? The sky was cloudless just a moment ago, but now clouds have gathered and it's raining. Ah—I don't have an umbrella. I wander around looking for a place to hide and discover a single house, approaching it.
When I am only a few steps away from the house, a strange, fishy smell of blood hits my nose. I automatically frown and hesitate without realizing it. ...What is this?
