The Boy with the Cursed Tattoo's

Chapter One : Immortal

8 years ago...

"Go away, Yuuto! Flithy monster!" An older bully yelled.

Yuuto reached out his hands. "Please... Can't we be friends...!"

The boy slapped Yuuto across the face.

"Friends? With you? Over my dead body. No one wants to be friends with a waste of space like you! Why don't you kill yourself and go to hell? Maybe you'll make friends there!"

The bully walked off with his friends, high fiving each other in victory.

Yuuto looked after them in pain, feeling the sadness he's always known

Nobody will be friends with me... They all call me a monster because I can't die...

I live in a world where you are either blessed or cursed. Me...I was born as a curse, a demon.

There isn't a single person who will be kind to me except my mother. My father and brother think of me as a slave and expect me to do all their work because I'm of "lower class".

I'm not treated as a human...nor will I ever...

Us curses are bound by a mark that allows us to be immortal.

I've tried to kill myself many times but it never works. That mark keeps me alive.

Why!? Why won't you let me end myself!?

The boy walked home in the pouring rain all alone. He was only ten years old and had already been corrupt with depression.

Yuuto was scarred for life and cut himself off from everyone.

Everyday was a new way of suicide. But they all failed.

Jumping off a bridge, drowning, cutting till he bled ; Yuuto tried it all.

It was as if the world wanted him to stay alive. As if it had something in store for him if he waited longer.

Once the frightened boy made it home, he opened the door.

"Mama..? Are you home?" he meekly called.

He could hear shouting upstairs. The shouting of his parents.

"Leave our son alone! You treat him like he's second child trash!"

A slap echoed. "He isn't my son! He's your son! And I want you and him out of this house tomorrow morning!"

Yuuto's mother's feet were heard shuffling toward the steps.

"I will happily leave! Stay away from me and my child, you beast of a man!"

Yuuto dragged his feet to the foot of the steps. Did he dare get involved?

His mom came down the stairs with a giant slap mark on her face to match his.

"M-Mommy..!" He ran up to her and hugged her.

She cried tears of sorrow and pet his head.

"Pack your things, Yuuto baby... We're leaving and going to stay with you're aunt."

He nodded and ran up the stairs hoping to avoid his father. His brother was not home at the time thankfully.

Yuuto zoomed into his room and packed all of his belongings for the next morning. He couldn't wait to be gone from his father. He hated his brother too but he could manage with him. But his father...he despised him.

He had put all his stuff in a huge blanket and tied the top with a huge rope. Then he lied down in bed with a mirror looking at his curse mark under his right eye.

"Why can't I be like everyone else?"

Only 20% of the world is cursed with a mark somewhere on them and given dark magic. The remaining 80% is given holy magic and marked as blessed people. Heroes even.

But me... I'll never be a hero. How could I be? I'm just a "demon" as they call us.

Then, the young boy drifted off to sleep while holding the mirror his hand, crying.
