(I accidentally marked it as complete. I thought the completion request wouldn’t go through without an ending.)
My name is Li Ming. I grew up in an orphanage, and the director was the best family I could have asked for. He taught me how to look forward to tomorrow.
But a disaster destroyed everything. The expansion of Hollow Zero erupted, wiping out a once-vibrant city in an instant. I was only ten years old when I became trapped in a corner of the orphanage. Fear enveloped me as I pounded on the boards that held me in, using all my strength to make a sound and get rescued.
It happened just as I’d hoped: it was the director! I saw him covered in mud and panting, his palms bloodied and his glasses shattered. But to me, he was still like a god, saving my life.
The director could have evacuated with the other refugees, but instead he came back for everyone at the orphanage. I never imagined he was just an ordinary person with low Ether aptitude!
He died... right beside me. Before he passed, he desperately told me that there were still many children he hadn’t rescued. He was worried, and asked me to take care of the children who had made it out. In the end, he took his own life after being corrupted.
I was devastated. In that moment, I gained a power. He said his name was Uchiha Madara and that he could help me. I agreed, on the condition that I would bring him back to life in the future.
I fulfilled the director’s request. If you have the ability, then when disaster strikes, don’t give up on those in danger. Please, let me save just one more!
So far it looks pretty good, no big problems. Even now I still can't figure out who the heroine is, whether it's a single heroine or multiple heroines.
