Ichi grew up in Osaka. He went to school at a public school and did pretty average in school. But he was always reclusive and avoided making friends and making long term relationships. Its not that he was antisocial. But he found it was easier to do what we wanted when he wasn't held down. Or at least this was his excuse. The true reason was that the energy it took to maintain these relationships felt nessiary and difficult. And his obsession with anime and other power fantasy's held him closely. He never had the thought of living somewhere else. But he recently has been pressured by his parents to leave his home.
I got a job once I started doing these contracts. I cant spend all my time toiling away like I used to. Sure I only work a grocery store. But one day Ill use my gifts to do something much more special. I have been growing my tools and protections. I also started chipping in some money with my family's costs.. I think they are starting to notice that something is changing with me. I'm out more and becoming, well more useful I suppose. Along with working out and practicing more with my gear. It's also alot easier to feel motivated when I have clear progress towards my goals.
I need to become a god. I know I was born to be great, but until now I never knew how I was supposed to achieve that. But now I do. I need to complete these contracts and gain the gifts that will allow for me "latent potential" to be expressed. Along with being a god, I need to become great and a protector. The people around me need me. But what are a few sacrifices on the path to god hood? I think it will all be worth it if I can fix all the issues I see. But to be honest, I don't think that is the main reason I want this. I want to be strong. I want to be the strongest. That is my one true goal. And I will do anything to achieve that.
I remember watching an anime when I was 11. It's central themes were about protecting the weak. I really felt connected to the main character, and I thought that it was my calling. For the first half of the show he was a completely normal person with no powers. But after he saved someone in spite of this and was killed. God granted him several powerful abilities. Just a day after finishing this show I saw a few kids bullying this girl. So I stepped in.. But they were much stronger than me. I felt humiliated. Since then I have trained with many weapons and gotten stronger. And now Ill be getting gifts. I never want to be weaker then anyone else I come across. And Soon I won't be. I have the highest potential out of everyone!
