Sitting there, no sound, no voices, just silence, in a place as haunting and deadbeat as Tartarus one would expect noise, or voices of pain and shouts, 

but nothing, as if they were sensing it, as if they knew, as if they felt it, as if they felt that... that....

___________

Sitting on what looked to be a small, dirty cell made of isolated, thick walls, a towering man remained seated on a small, brown chair. 

This man was wearing a grey, well-fitted suit, his face ruined and ugly by scar, yet elegance maintained by posture he remained. 

Below him, sitting on the very ground, was a child whose clothes seemed dirty and torn, his hair so white, yet covering his face, his face exposed to mud and rain. 

If someone were to see him, they would think he resembled the spitting image of an angel, 

but... those dark red eyes spoke words of difference... they spoke...

"Why do you call me a man?" Ken asked, as he looked at the man before him, his eyes locked on his. 

"You didn't call me child, you called me man," Ken continued, 

"You call Nagant ,child, yet you call me a man." 

Ken's expression was calm, yet his mind was on a rampage, thinking about the words of the man before him. 

"Hehe," the man laughed slightly after hearing the words that came out of Ken's mouth. 

"I am different from you," the man answered, "I am different from everyone, I have my own view and ethics, motivations and laws," he said.

 "I have goals, Mr. Odin."

"Goals are different from dreams or systems," he said, still remaining in his setting. 

"Goals are the end piece, the finish line. 

Goals are the beginning. 

Goals can only be desired by man. 

Goals are what make a man. 

goals are the initiation and the sacrifice, Goals are what you do, even if it brings you death," he said. 

"And I can see it through your eyes, Mr. Odin, I can see a Goal."

Ken was stunned a bit, but his heart retained its beat. 

After so many months, he had almost forgotten who he truly was, he had almost forgotten his reality. 

"So what do you want from me?" Ken asked, now his expression calmer, and his eyes retaining their gaze. 

"Mr. Odin, do you know what percentage of the world are heroes?" the man asked. Ken shook his head in response.

 "When a child is asked what they want to be when they grow up, their first answer is they want to be a hero," the man said.

 "When a child or teen is born with a powerful quirk, do you know what their first desire becomes, Mr. Odin?" the man asked again , receiving a slight a nod from Ken. 

"Their first and strongest desire is to become a hero, Mr. Odin," the man fixed his legs, as he started fixing the buttons of his suit.

 "80% of everyday people are born with quirks, 30% of those so-called quirks are strong and almost 45% are exceptional," he continued. 

"Mr. Odin, all of these people after the manifestation of a quirk gain an untainted desire, 

the desire to become a hero, and 13% of those people become heroes every year, 

largely outnumbering the percentage of villains by 4%, now a question, 

Mr. Odin, why do villains still exist?" He asked ,fixing himself as he got up and moved his body near the exit of the cell.

 "They exist because without villains, those dreams and untainted desires will disappear," the man said as he walked out and waited, as if waiting for Ken to follow him.

Ken stood up from the floor, thinking about how this would be the first time in days of walking out. 

"Mr. Odin, this is a world that treats heroism as a business, without villains, heroes will lose the meaning to their jobs, 

lose the little advantage they have over humanity, and lose the meaning to their very existence," he continued, as Ken walked out, 

looking at the now shut light that used to flicker, looking at the long hallway made to restrict his power, thinking about the amount of work that must have gone into its building. 

"This is why places like Kamino Ward exist; they are like a breeding ground for villains, breeding grounds masked by the status of villain territory, 

masked and protected by the idea that its privation could cause wars and states of panic," the man said, walking. 

And from behind, Ken followed, walking out the current section which seemed to be opened, and for some reason, it was empty, no guards, no wardens, just two footsteps echoing on an empty hall. 

 "Hero politics are so fucked up, that some people are hired by heroes to cause crime, 

hired to be caught by that same hero, in order to receive a larger paycheque by the end of the month. 

This city is going into chaos, and the little heroes we have, those we consider true heroes, are blinded by the policies of law and fail to recognize the dangers holding them back, 

the dangers of what they deem to be true heroism, the dangers of the no-kill policy," he said as he stopped for a second, turned around, and looked at the ever so listening Ken behind him. 

"Blinded, not knowing that the no-kill policy was made to keep villains at a favorable rate, 

blinded not knowing it was a way to increase the amount of gathered taxes for the benefit of the corrupt, 

and yes, I will say it does have some advantages, but in this world, there is no such thing as justice or moral correction, there is only law made by the absolute, law made by the rulers," he said, as he resumed his stance and walked.

 Then finally, they came face to face with an opened office. 

No, the office didn't have a door or a way to restrict entry. 

Walking in, there was a square table and two chairs in opposite directions. 

The man sat down on what looked to be the largest, facing Ken due to its position, and Ken sat down facing him.

"This world needs cleansing, it needs healing, it needs recovery," the man said as he leaned back on the chair he was sitting on. 

"Help me, Odin, and I will give you your Goal, help me, and I will give you your finish line," he announced, causing Ken to react a little. 

"Due to the information we got from the Gauntlet, you are currently 11 years of age, you don't have an identity, no ownership to anything, no family, no history, you are a ghost," he said, grabbing what seemed to be a stack of papers that lay on the table. 

"I will give you an identity, I will give you a life, become my sword and I will become your handler," he said, having a serious tone in his expression.

 "I have seen you fight, each attack meant to weaken the enemy for a fast kill, you don't take time, your abilities, all seem to be made for execution, 

I have watched more than 50 of your fights, I have watched you use someone's hair to drag them to the ground, I have seen you stab livers and rip out hearts, 

you are ruthless, even a villain will think before killing someone, but you do it instantly," he said as he pushed the papers he was holding towards where Ken was sitting. 

"I never got to ask you this, but what is your goal?" the man asked , looking at Ken with interest. 

"It's...," Ken hesitated for a moment, "I... it's..."

"I want to be GOD," Ken answered, his eyes wide as if confident, 

eyes so wide they spoke for themselves, as if saying that even if the body couldn't achieve this Goal, they would, eyes so bright and unaffected by the chaos, eyes so... so...

"I can make you GOD," the man said , suppressing Ken with his response.

 "But before you can stand as GOD, you must first descend into the depths of the Devil, you must first navigate the Shadows, 

learn the language of darkness, and understand the weight of sin, for only through mastering the abyss can you truly rise to the light of divinity."

"And I, Mr. Odin, I will make you the devil."
