Shiro has no magic abilities and children make fun of him and gave him the nickname Zero but everything changes as two unfamiliar people enter the village and shiro slowly finds out what happened to him.

Chapter 1 ZERO

"The world is a vast place consisting of many living creatures, but how were we created... and what happens to us after death?" Shiro rests his face in the palm of his hand while lying on his belly at the edge of a cliff, in his favorite spot, with the wind brewing through his hair, breathing in the mountain air, while starring down below.

"I should head back down before it gets late." Shiro sighs and stands up, he yawns while stretching his hands into the air. "Guess Mika isn't coming today."

As he makes his way home through the village. "Hey, zero!" A boy shouted then laughed with his friends.

Shiro stands still for a few seconds as if he was frozen and while looking down, he bares his teeth, starts to breathe erratically then he folds his fist so tight that his nails leave marks on the palm of his hand, and as he turns his head slightly to face the boy, he is stunned after noticing Mika, and as he looks directly into her alluring blue-green eyes he remembers the promise he made.

"Shiro?" she says in a soft mild voice.

The thought of her hearing what the boy called him made him try to avoid eye contact with her and gazed at the ground while clenching his fist and squinting his eyes, he immediately turns around to run but bumps into an unfamiliar tall and huge man dressed in black sweat pants and jacket and a slim woman wearing a black and white off-shoulder dress.

"grr! you should watch where you're going, kid!" The man said.

"haha, did you guys see that?" The group of friends pointed at Shiro and laughed even more.

"Why do you assholes always pick on him?!" Mika grinned her teeth and shouted.

Shiro gets up staggering and flustered, he tries to keep the water in his eyes from running down his face so he runs off again.

"Hmm, that kid." The man glares at Shiro as he runs off.

"Let's go snake, he's on his way." The woman said to the man.

"Tch, fine, let's get this over with already." The man replied.

Shiro makes his way home but no one is there, for his mother and father are at work, he gasps for breath sporadically while slamming his hand at the door behind him and letting himself fall slowly to the floor while bracing on the door with water running down his face, he gets up and notices a letter on the table from his aunt Jenny but he doesn't read it, he grabs his scabbard with his wooden sword and rushes through the door and suddenly stops.

"W-What are you doing here?"

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
