Notorious One
by Hans Christian B. Dalisay
Once upon a time in the land of the rising sun, there was a samurai named Himura. He was the reason for peace in Japan, especially in his town, Kyoto. Himura, a notorious killer of all the bad guys in Japan, used his samurai skills to eliminate the threats. His speed was unmatched; even his own shadow couldn't catch him. Despite his desire for a normal life, Himura's job made people afraid to befriend him. Consequently, he chose to live alone in the forest.
One day, as Himura roamed the forest in search of food, a loud scream echoed through the air. Without hesitation, he followed the noise, discovering an old woman being attacked by three menacing figures. Drawing his samurai, Himura swiftly intervened, defeating the attackers.
The fight left Himura with several wounds, causing him to collapse. The old woman, however, came to his aid. She laid her hands on Himura, miraculously healing his wounds. To Himura's shock, the old woman transformed into a beautiful lady. Grateful for his assistance, she offered Himura a gift to conquer and rule the world. However, Himura declined, yearning for a normal life, free from the reputation of being a notorious killer. Respectful of his wishes, the beautiful lady vanished.
Returning home, Himura rested. One morning, he was surprised to find that he now lived in a village. What astonished him even more was waking up to find a woman embracing him – a woman who bore a striking resemblance to the one he had saved in the forest. Himura was living his dream life.
