I will be a boss in the future world

Sancha Street in the western part of the city of Anos is a low-level neighborhood known as the "garbage dump".

The unemployed, the homeless, the drug addicts, even the gangsters and the fugitive criminals...

This place has the most chaotic order, but it is the safest place for these people to live.

Somewhere is a hidden underground fight bar. There is no luxurious decoration here, only simple lighting and shabby tables and chairs, but it attracts many people seeking excitement to gather here.

The whole bar was filled with people, as if it was about to burst through the roof, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic. All kinds of men and women tightly surrounded the ring enclosed by a huge iron cage, and they were either screaming with excitement or waving their arms and shouting excitedly.

The whole place was filled with people, the atmosphere was lively, and in the center of the ring, which was enclosed by a huge iron cage——

Two shirtless men were punching each other, their muscles tensed, and each punch was heavy with power, hitting each other fiercely. Sweat and blood mixed together, making the fight even more tragic. Both sides refused to give in, and they wrestled fiercely.

The host on the podium was talking excitedly, constantly tempting the audience to place their bets.

"In this match tonight, the red team will lose 2 to 1! The blue team will lose 5 to 1!

"Who do you think will win?"

"Is he the ring overlord who is strong and known for his ferocity and brutality, and has won seventeen consecutive matches?"

"Or is it an unknown but agile newcomer who dares to challenge him in the first place?"

"Take out your money! Place your bets! Raise your arms and shout loudly!"

"What will be the final outcome tonight? Who will be able to walk out of the cage alive?"

“Let’s wait and see!!!”

The cheers outside the stadium became louder, and everyone's expressions were excited to the point of crazy.

On the big screen, the betting numbers of the red and blue sides kept rolling, and the two people in the iron cage were fighting each other like wild beasts.

There are no rules, no time limits, and no safeguards of any kind.

Inside the iron cage, there is only the simplest purpose and the most primitive violence.

Punches and kicks, tussles and roars, exposed muscles and splattered blood.

It was like watching animals fighting to the death, and beneath the spectators' excited expressions were twisted smiles.

"Oh, is it funny?"

The deafening shouts seemed to fuel the man's anger that had nowhere to vent.

He clenched his fists tightly, his arm muscles tensed and trembling slightly, as if he was gathering strength. As time went on, his movements became faster and faster, and every swing was accompanied by a sharp sound and powerful momentum. His eyes became more and more fierce, and finally, when the opponent showed a flaw, he launched the final blow without hesitation!

He used all his strength to throw a punch, which was like a thunderbolt, rushing towards the opponent with endless destructive power. With a crisp "crack", the opponent's neck was twisted and his body fell down fiercely.

There were screams, whistles, complaints and curses coming from outside the arena. Probably no one expected the novice to win, and those who lost money threw wine glasses and bottles onto the arena.

Debris and broken glass kept flying at his feet, but the standing man ignored it. He slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a mocking smile appearing in his eyes.

"Now, it's funnier."

Don’t you know…

This world is a joke, right?

In the lounge, a stack of banknotes was thrown casually at the feet.

"After deducting the bar's commission, this is the compensation you deserve."

"But I like people like you who look unimpressive but fight like hell."

"You were able to survive today, but you made several big guys who often come here lose money."

"Keep going, kid. You can only make money if you stay alive."

The man who was sitting and resting with his eyes closed didn't say anything, but a sarcastic voice came from the side.

"Humph, delicate skin and a woman's face."

"I guess he was lucky not to be beaten to death?"

"..."

He raised his head with cold eyes.

"Hey! Wouldn't it be easier to make money if you became a lover of those financial group bosses?"

"I heard that some people just like this, they like girls with penises like you, hahahaha!"

The others in the lounge burst into laughter, but before they could finish their laugh.

The man who said this was suddenly punched and knocked to the ground!

The young man pounced on the man with an expressionless face and rode hard on him.

Followed by another punch!

One more punch!!!

Instead of trying to dissuade them, the people around them laughed even more excitedly.

"Hit him! Hit him! Beat him to death! Hahahaha!"

The man on the ground was no longer able to resist, but the man swinging his fists refused to give up. Seeing this, only the bar manager frowned and waved his hands helplessly.

"Hey hey hey! This isn't a fighting arena! There's no money to be made!"

"Don't beat anyone to death here! Don't cause trouble for me!"

The young man finally stopped until the man on the ground rolled his eyes in a weak voice.

He took a deep breath, loosened his hands, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"How does it feel to be held down by someone, little girl with a penis?"

"Tell you……"

"It's not that I was lucky that I wasn't beaten to death."

"On the contrary, you are just too lucky."

"Only then can I send you away from this ridiculous world ahead of time."

As he spoke, he rubbed his wrist, slowly stood up, and looked at the crowd in the room that had already fallen silent with fear, his eyes even colder.

"remember……"

"Next time you don't want to live, come find me in the ring."

From then on, a name began to circulate for Sancha Street in Xicheng District.

"Shocked".

In mythology, the ferryman of the underworld is the god of death who is responsible for ferrying the souls of the dead across the River Styx.

It is said that this nickname was given by the fight bar to create a gimmick and attract attention.

But he himself likes it very much and even uses this name in his daily life.

No one knew where he came from, and no one cared what his real name was.

Just because he was ruthless and had a high winning rate, and he was handsome and had a mysterious identity, more and more people talked about him, but fewer and fewer people challenged him.

But when people talk about him, what they often talk about most is that this person has a crazy personality and is moody. He might be laughing happily in the last second and kill someone in the next.

Legend has it that even in the ring, he could ignore his broken arm and bite his opponent's neck with his teeth.

Crazy, weird, vicious, mentally ill...all seem to have become his labels.

It seems that life is just a game, and having fun and excitement is the only thing he pursues.

But as his fame grew, so did his troubles.

"You little brat! Don't be ungrateful!!!"

"I'm telling you to follow our boss because we think highly of you!"

"It's not unfair for you to be our boxer! You can get both money and girls!"

"A person without any background or support! Just because he wins a few more games, he doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!?"

"Let me tell you! As long as the boss is happy, we can destroy you anytime and anywhere!"

A group of vicious gang thugs were shouting.

"Oh, I said..."

“Don’t be anyone’s dog!!!”

Rumor has it that it was raining heavily that night and the largest underground gang on Sancha Street found him.

He wanted to bribe him with nice words and make him become his boxer and work for the gang from then on, but he refused to do so and even fought with more than a dozen people in the alley alone.

Although he had a fierce personality, was agile, and almost risked his life in a fight, he was still defeated by the large underground gang after rounds of sieges and fierce battles, breaking two ribs and an arm.

"Come... kill me..."

"I am not afraid of death..."

"It is impossible...to live like a dog!"

The gang leader glared at him: "You!"

"Oh, it's all the same..."

"It's the same everywhere... You and I are the same..."

"But they are just...bugs that are stepped on by others..."

"Still lingering on, struggling to survive... and pretending to live with dignity..."

“Hahaha…this is so ridiculous…”

"We are all so ridiculous...hahahaha..."

The man laughed uncontrollably with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but the dagger in his hand was pressed against the leader's heart.

"Come, kill me quickly...don't waste time..."

"But before I die, I must take someone with me...to accompany me on the road."

"You are so lucky that you can be like me and don't have to be a bug anymore."

The leader finally found the dagger in his chest, but was surprised that he didn't stab him immediately. Seeing the madness and despair burning in his eyes, the man who was holding him was slightly startled, and suddenly let go in fear, and threw him down at his feet again.

"Mad man! You are indeed mentally ill!"

"Ah……"

"Go away! Leave Three Forks Street and never show up here again!"

"Otherwise, next time we meet, I will definitely have someone kill you!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Since then, the name "Jingmi" disappeared from Sancha Street.

He offended the biggest local gang, and no fighting arena or bar dared to employ him anymore.

Some said he might have died that night.

Others say that he simply escaped under an assumed name.

But no one expected that when this name appeared again, it would have become a legend throughout Anos.

Of course, this is all in the past.

In a remote industrial area in the eastern part of Anos City, in a very inconspicuous little bar.

It was late at night and there were no other customers in the store. It seemed that it was about to close, but the man at the bar still refused to leave and kept pouring drinks in a daze.

The bar owner hung up a "CLOSE" sign, sighed, and sat down opposite him.

"Hey, you don't want to sleep here again?"

"Although Sha Feiran has said hello and asked me to try my best to take care of you."

"But this is a bar after all, not a hotel. You can't sleep here every day."

After hearing what the person opposite him said, the man at the bar still didn't raise his head.

"I don't know where to go, OTIS."

"I seem to be lost..."

“I felt suffocated and uncomfortable wherever I went, and I wanted to collapse and yell, and I wanted to scream like crazy.

"Your place is the only place that's a little better. I can have a drink in peace."

The bar owner sighed: "Are you really not going back?"

"If you're so unhappy in Anos, why do you stay?"

"You know, Fei Ran actually..."

Before the man opposite finished speaking, someone shook his head.

"No, I'm not going back."

"There is nothing left... and even the memories..."

"Compared to Anos, everything familiar there makes me feel more uncomfortable."

"..."

OTIS sighed silently.

"Then what are your plans next?"

The dim light shone on his decadent profile, and OTIS only heard him mutter something in a low voice.

"Go find...my light..."

the next day--

In a dim and noisy little bar in the East District.

The lights are bright, the wine is drunk, and the singing is decadent.

Ji Jingxian lay listlessly beside the wine table, playing with the coins in his hand.

"Positive, she hates me."

"On the back, she doesn't hate me."

The coin spun rapidly under his fingertips, and finally staggered and fell onto the table.

front.

"Oh, so she hates me."

The man picked up the coin and snapped his fingers, and the coin began to spin rapidly again.

"Positive, she likes me."

"The back, she doesn't like me."

The coin wobbled and fell back onto the table.

back.

"..."

frown.

"Tsk, if you do it again, I won't believe it."

The coin was tossed up again, and spun, but with a bit of force.

"Positive, she is really accompanying men."

"The back, she's lying to me."

The coin spun rapidly for a long time, then slowly stopped and fell onto the table.

front.

"..."

"What a damn coin!"

"I'm sick!"

The man threw the coin away fiercely and drank a glass of wine in a huff, but a decadent song floated into his ears, and Ji Jingxian couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Hey……"

He tapped the table in front of the bartender. "What song is this? What's its name?"

"Do you like the guests?"

"This is a very old popular song that our store has been collecting."

"How much, are you selling it?"

"what?"

"I really like the lyrics of this song and want to send it to another person."

"Make a copy and transfer it to my computer. I'll pay you."

"Okay, okay, please wait a moment, sir."

After the bartender left, the man slowly lay down again.

Following the song coming from the speakers, he hummed softly.

"Don't you stay~Look at me more~"

"Ignore my face~any embarrassment~"

"See through my most vulnerable defenses ~ and look into the abyss I'm trapped in ~"

"It makes me feel...inside the darkness..."

“Light is a line that can be grasped.”

In a dimly lit studio, someone was typing seriously on the keyboard. As the screen scrolled, a chat window finally popped up.

UNOW: TOX sent someone to check your information.

S: I know. I have already done something about it. They can’t find anything.

S: Let them think it is what they guessed.

UNOW: How are you doing lately? Nothing has gone wrong, right?

S: Everything is fine, don't worry.

S: She is very busy at TOX and I haven’t contacted her recently.

UNOW: Compared to TOX, SDA is indeed special. I heard that many people died there before.

UNOW: TOX will come into contact with the Collapse of Time and Space, and SDA will come into contact with the gray area of ​​​​the fighting among the chaebols, both of which are the most dangerous places.

UNOW: She should be fine though.

S: Do you think I should go in with you?

S: She is getting further and further away now, and I am always worried.

UNOW: Don't be willful, you have more important things to do, have you forgotten?

S: I haven’t forgotten.

UNOW: That's good.

UNOW: Focus more on what is in front of you, that is the most important thing.

Looking at the chat window on the screen, Shi Yuan remained silent for a long time.

The fingertips on the keyboard gradually bent into fists, but I had no idea how to respond to the next conversation.

"Most importantly..."

"I can no longer tell what is most important."

The man simply leaned back, no longer paying attention to the chat window on the screen, but looking at the continuous drizzle outside the window, his eyes gradually becoming profound.

"You're a girl, why are you fighting with them!"

"They are just bullies in the school. They never behave in a reasonable way."

"I just can't stand them bullying you all the time!"

"I rely on your intelligence and good grades to ask you for answers in every exam!"

"Tell me! Was it them who threw the schoolbag into the water last time?!"

"Just bear with it and it will pass. We will graduate in a year."

"That won't do! I can't stand seeing you being bullied anyway!"

"We agreed to depend on each other..."

"If I don't protect you, who else can?"

Memories are churning in my mind, and every detail is still vivid in my mind.

The rain outside the window was drizzling, as if it wet my heart and my eyes.

"Yu Ying..."

"Just like this... we'll be together for the rest of our lives..."

"OK……"
