In the east of Minbo republic, there stood a strange island that was not mentioned in any map found around the world.
The island was a fairly small one and it only had two structures in total.
At the western edge of the island was a large tower that seemed to pierce through the sky. The tower is said to be taller than the Heaven's arena and one could not distinguish how many floors it held from the outside due to it's sheer height.
The other structure, was a circular arena that encompassed the entire island.
The arena had sixteen platforms raised in the middle and countless seats surrounding the platforms.
The arena was clearly designed to host hundreds of thousands of spectators but it was surprisingly empty.
There were at most a few hundred spectators using the seats to watch the ongoing chaos on the platforms.
This entire island was called 'Divine Colosseum'.
Established by the Ten Dons, it was one of their many entertainment joints.
As the name suggested, the Colosseum was a place for a gladiator style battles. Every year, the ten dons gather in the Divine Colosseum with their champions. The dons bring out one champion each but the previous events winner can bring an extra champion. Additionally, the dons also send their death row members and their captives to the colosseum as extra participants.
The Divine Colosseum is considered one of the most noteworthy event in the underworld.
This year's event on the Divine Colosseum was scheduled at the fifteenth of December, which was a month from now so the preparation of the event was already underway.
The participants, other than the don's champions were kept at the underground floors of the tower in the island.
In an unknown floor of the tower in a small room, one young man seemingly in his twenties was seen meditating.
The boy had sleek black hair that was tied to a bun. He had a black katana lying besides him as he controlled his breathing. His wrists and ankles were chained with thick chains which seemed to have some strange writings on them.
He continued his meditation for a while and slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the room he was kept in, he noticed the strange writing on the chains and a mocking sneer automatically grew on his face.
'Ten dons, huh. So naive.'
The young man was Kitse Zoldyck. He was the only child of now dead Shiro Zoldyck, the younger brother of Silva Zoldyck.
As Shiro was banished from the Zoldyck family by his father, Ziggs, his existance as a Zoldyck was only known to two people from the family, Maha Zoldyck and Zeno Zoldyck.
After Shiro's banishment from the Zoldyck estate, he was filled with hatred towards the main family. His wife had passed away after giving birth to Kitse a few months after his banishment.
Filled with hatred and insecurity towards his own powerlessness, Shiro raised Kitse with utter cruelty and tyranny.
His goal?
To produce an assassin better than the main family. That was how Kitse was raised.
Kitse was trained for combat as soon as he could walk.
His early childhood days were filled with sparring with Shiro, who was quite harsh on his won child, surviving in perilous conditions, adapting to treacherous conditions and so on.
Electrocution, poison, heat, cold you name it.
Shiro pushed Kitse to the brink of death any time he could.
At the age of eight, Kitse was already a powerhouse. He was emotionless, strong and he followed orders. Shiro saw everything he wanted in Kitse but he didn't know one thing.
Kitse was actually not a newborn child. He was a transmigrator from a certain blue planet who was reborn as Kitse.
Being thrust into a pit of fire called Shiro from a normal office life was quite an experience for Kitse.
Kitse was not sure how he had managed to keep himself mentally stable after all those experiences from Shiro and he attributed it to his bloodline as the Zoldyck.
Kitse, who was an adult, could easily understand what Shiro wanted from him. It worked even well since Shiro was quite vocal about his expectations. He simply showed what Shiro wanted to see for a single reason- to learn Nen.
Nen was something that was vital in this world and Kitse knew it so when you have a deranged father who wants to make you the best assassin for his ego, he was bound to learn Nen.
At the age of eight, Shiro introduced the concept of Nen to Kitse.
Surprisingly, the madman was actually quite a decent teacher when he wasn't trying to kill your emotions in your early childhood.
Ten. - Envelop your aura around yourself and prevent it from leaking.
Ren. - Release a larger amount of aura than Ten, projecting it outwards explosively.
Zetsu. - Stop the flow of aura from ones body altogether by closing all of their aura nodes.
Gyo. - Concentrate your Ren to a specific part of your body, mainly used on eyes.
In. - Hide your aura without closing your aura nodes.
En. - Project a small amount of aura to sense things covered by the projections.
Shu. - Enshroud an object with their aura and to use that object as an extension of their own body
Ko. - Combination of Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu, and Gyo in which all of the aura is concentrated into one particular body part.
Ken. - defensive technique where a state of Ren is maintained for a prolonged amount of time
Ryu. - Use of Gyo while in a state of Ken to perform real-time offensive and defensive value adjustments.
Instead of Hatsu or his Nen ability, Shiro drilled the fundamentals of Nen to Kitse for ten full years. Unfortunately, Shiro passed away before he could see his creation rise to the top.
After the death of his 'father', Kitse was liberated. He was free from his father's clutches for the first time in his life but all those years of training and living as an assassin already paved a path for him. A path that he didn't hate as much as he thought he would.
Kitse could have gone to the Zoldycks after his father's death but he saw no point in doing so. After all those years of training, his fundamentals had become extremely solid but he had yet to develop his own Hatsu.
Not that he couldn't develop one. No, no, no. With his knowledge from the original series and his fundamentals, Kitse had a lot of techniques he could develop. But that did not feel right for him.
You see, Kitse was raised to by an extremely power-hungry individual and living with sch individual for more than twenty years was bound to make some interesting psychological impressions no?
