Story[]
The Old Man was formerly a King of Akaria, ultimately being killed by Satoshi Fujiwara. He would be reincarnated on Zerox as an Old Man who had a daughter named Anna (his former daughter Anastasia’s current reincarnation) who was tragically killed by Romanova. He would ultimately be killed by an enslaved form of his daughter who was under the control of Romanova, but not before apologising to Kento for his failure to protect him.
Relationships[]
Romanova[]
- "Where is that knife? That should be enough to seal the deal…’ Romanova said as the elder man was in her vicinity. “There is no need to go so far.” He said as he shut the door behind him. ‘What do you mean?! HE DESERVES IT!! Ever since our daughter died….” She said as the elder man visibly became angry. “Not our daughter, my daughter. Don’t bring her into this.’ He said with an angry tone as the woman simply smiled brightly upon hearing this and twirled the knife in a psychotic manner. ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut the hell up, that girl was no use to me anyway.” She said as her smile continued to remain. The elder man continued to glare at her as he smiled a little. ‘The younger Xeroxians will always surpass the elders of the past! The next generation will always surpass the older generations!!! Damn you bastard!’ She screamed as she threw her knife into his chest. His walking stick fell onto the floor as he then stumbled to the ground and held his hand on the counter, breathing heavily for dear life. “You won’t get away with that tactic a second time, Romanova!” He said as he used all of his remaining strength to get up as she smiled, only to see an unsuspecting foot aim for her kneecap as she then stumbled on the ground herself. “YOU BASTAR-!” She tried to scream as my “father” went behind her and gagged her, smiling patiently. “Even in my elder age, I can still use this technique that I had once learnt in my younger days.” He said as he hovered his thumb over her forehead. “NOOOO! NOOOO! NOOOOO! You foolish old man. Don’t you remember anything about battle?! YOU IDIOT! THE MAIN RULE OF BATTLE IS TO CONSIDER….” She soon released her attempted murderer’s hand as she turned her arm around and twisted her hand to stab her knife into his side as he reacted just in time to grab it and break her hand, as she screamed. “YOUR SURROUNDINGS!!” As the elder man moved the corner of his eye before a shadowy figure appeared behind him and stabbed him in the back. “You…wretched woman… how?” She smiled maniacally as the shadows raised her upright and she stared at his bleeding body. “My power is called Kageoni (Shadow Demon) and it allows me to control shadows of those with malicious intent to hurt me. I saw an opening in your attack to neutralise me, and so I manipulated your shadow with my mind to create a ghost and…. Destroy you due to your pathetic attempt to end the fight as quickly as you can. Now this is the end. Devour… Kageoni.” As the knife appeared in her hand and transformed into a scythe with five mysterious symbols on it. The shadowy figure then enraptured the elder man as a black liquid froze him in place as she stabbed him on his arms and legs. “Oh yeah, we can’t allow you to… do any more damage to my precious body. Hah, I forgot, you can’t!!” She said as she smiled peacefully and licked the blood on her scythe and twirled it, much like she did with her knife. “You see, you just caused yourself to fall down…. To your inevitable demise.” She smiled as she said this, looking at her ghostly shadow, as though she was demanding it to do something. “Come now, pet. Reveal yourself. Allow him to revel with fun. Let him have some fun for once in his pathetic life.” She then continued to say as he broke out of the shadow, revealing his rather dishevelled appearance. “What are you doing to me, you mad woman?!” He screamed as he looked at the shadow. “That shadow can’t do anything to me, it can’t-” he said as Romanova’s face looked sad. “Really? It can’t do anything to you, just because you broke out a part of the shadow? If that won’t do anything, I am sure this will.” She continued to look at her shadow with a smile on her face. “Now, then. Would you like to show him your true face?” Romanova continued to say as the shadow bowed down to her. “Good servant. Now go. Do it.” She then looked at her scythe. The first two seals have disappeared off the scythe. It has activated. May they come and drag you to the Pits below where the darkness can come and teach ye a lesson in death as ye try to reach the abode that ye once had in life. Final Release - Repent: Ghostly Memory Burial Shadow of Eternal Damnation. Have some fun, old man. You deserve it. The three remaining seals quickly disappeared. “The old man smiled as he thought the shadow could do nothing to him for he broke out of it, only to see something far more sinister. “YOU! IT CANNOT BE! WHY?! MY BELOVED!” He screamed in agony as she looked at him. The ghostly figure seemingly had long brown hair and chestnut brown eyes, along with a beautiful face and red lips, befitting of a young child with black markings on her forehead and cheeks. “No! Why is she here?! She should be resting in peace! YOU CRUEL BASTARD!” The elder man said with fury as Romanova looked at him and the ghostly figure. “My scythe doesn’t just allow for control over shadows. It allows for control over those who died and are in the realm below either because of other people’s sins or their own.” She explained as the ghostly figure bore tears from her eyes. “Who are you, old man?” The figure said to him as though it recognised him from a very distant past, but forgot. “Master, what should I do?” The figure asked. She looked at the old man for a moment and looked at her scythe. “Kill him, reap him of his characteristics. Do whatever you desire, slave. Now he can finally die!” She said as the figure bowed down. The man looked at her with absolute pity and guilt in his eyes. “NO! ANNA! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! DON’T YOU REMEMBER ME?! I AM PAPA!” He screamed with tears in his eyes as the figure looked at him with no hint of emotion. “No.” She said as she released the shadow from his body and threw him on the ground. “She contains no memories of her past. Nothing.” Romanova coldly said as she looked at Anna in her black hooded cloak with a greatsword. “Sword of Death: Time to Play. I shall end you, old man.” Anna said coldly as the old man saw everything that had happened to him from the moment he had her, including the moment she was thrown into the fire that ended her life. “NOOO!!” He screamed as he felt himself being chained and being thrown into the fire by his own daughter. “What is happening?!” He said as he felt spiders crawling up his arms. “Devour, Kageoni.” A voice said as a corpse, seemingly his own daughter, threw itself up at him and threw him into the fire. “DADDY!!!!” A voice screamed in his head as his eyes dilated and his pupils went upwards and time stood still for the briefest of moments. “You bastard…. See you in Hell. Please… Kento. Please end her when the time comes. Please… for I am truly sorry…. For everything. IF I DIE, THEN THE TIME WILL COME WHEN YOU WILL DIE AND REMAIN WITH ME IN HELL…. FOREVER-!” The man said as his walking stick was burned in front of his very eyes. The scythe then put itself into his chest, as he made no more movements. Lifeless. Gone.”
- - The Old Man’s interaction with her
His wife. She killed his daughter with him being so fearful of her that he was forced to fulfill all of her desires, causing him to unintentionally attack Kento. He would eventually be killed by her.
Kento[]
- “My daughter was named Anastasia. I was thus once a King in a place called Akaria. I was forced to abuse Kento otherwise Romanova thus swore she would hunt me down and kill me.” The man explained with deep sadness but he knew deep down that he was complicit. “Romanova sent him into the Fire, stabbing him and attacking all parts of his body within minutes as he was abused constantly in all ways imaginable.” The old man said... “Right… let me do this. I do not like the boy but I see him like I did my daughter.” The elder said before shoving his walking stick so quickly into Kento’s anus that blood tore itself straight from his backside. “He has been tortured.” The man explained
- - The Old Man explaining the truth behind the situation.
His adopted son. The Old Man wouldn't abuse him directly but only do so when Romanova was around out of fear, hitting him with his walking stick. Despite this, he felt deep regret, admitting to Kasera Aosekarti that he knew he was complicit in his abuse, feeling guilt. Ultimately, he would apologise for the torture Kento underwent and in his dying moments, pray for Kento to kill Romanova. Kento would ultimately fulfill his final desire.
