Chapter 1 - Where the Heck Am I?

A young boy with dark-brown, almost black, hair wakes up with a katana in his hand, gripped tightly.

"Where the heck am I?" the boy said to himself as he awoke.

He attempts to stand up but his leg aches with pain.

He grunts silent.

*I must've gotten infected by the zombies before I passed out.* He thought.

He looks over to see a purple patch of skin on his leg that intermingles with his already light-brown skin. 

At his shin, in the middle of the patch, there are purple teeth growing. 

Black goo oozes out of it.

*I almost turned, no wonder I can't remember much of anything.* the boy thought.

He rips off the teeth and the entire patch comes out with it. His brown reveals itself from under the patch with a slightly deep injury at his shin. 

He rips off a piece of his shirt and wrapped it around his injury.

He looks over at the sword next to him.

A flood of information about swords flow through his head.

"This is Ammon Kingsman personal and final sword he made." He said to himself.

Around 30 years ago, Ammon Kingsman was a noble and fearless sword smith. 

He crafted only the greatest swords.

He was the one who created the "Kingsman Collection." 

There are 13 swords in this collection, only 2 of them exists to this very day.

The 13 swords were used by the 13 heroes with Kingsman being one of them. 

Ammon was also revered for his unique fighting style and ability to be ambidextrous. 

But out of all swords, the one that boy has was the most wanted of all.

The Jinka, a sword known for its ability to return to its owner and its indestructibility. 

Most importantly, being able to absorb and stream out any type of power. 

The boy looks at the sword. 

He drops the sword and holds his head.

He gets a sudden pain in his head as he remembers something.

"Vesper!" A girl yells to him with a smile on her face and stretches out her hand.

The boy, Vesper, stretches out his hand as well, attempting to hold the hand as well. 

Vesper goes back into reality and realizes he was grabbing the sword.

*That's right, my name is Vesper.* Vesper thought to himself.

A zombie groans and Vesper turns around to see a swarm of zombies in front of him.

The 13 swords each had its own advantages and disadvantages.

But one thing that was common between them was that each sword had a "voice" only the user could hear it, no one else could hear it.

This "voice" is what allows the swords to choose it's owner/user 

"Lets forget about trying to piece the missing puzzle pieces of my memories and fight these monsters." Vesper says as he hunches over with the sword in his left hand.

The voice for Jinka was currently saying, "It's been a while, so I'm gonna need a warm up."

Vesper chuckles and grins as he charges towards the swarm of zombies.

A girl with purple and black hair stands by the ocean. 

The wind blows her hair.

She holds the 2nd surviving Kingsman Collection sword, Shinki.

She grins.
