The day is bright and warm.
I woke up and ruffled my messy yellow hair.
*yawn
I walked to my bathroom and stood in front of a mirror.
Looking at the reflection in the mirror, which had a large crack on its side, a face with a burned red scar across his face, yellow hair, and beautiful blue eyes appeared inside the square mirror.
That's me!
I was just an ordinary guy until yesterday when I woke up with this red scar across my face.
And with the scar came a power this world never knew.
*fizzle
I pointed my finger up, and a flame appeared above it.
Looking at my reflection, my red scar glowed faintly, as if it was humming a song.
*fizz…
I turned off this new ability I had acquired.
With that, the scar returned to its normal form.
I call this ability Sacred Fire.
Going to the small kitchen inside my apartment, I whipped up some cream and bread and started eating it.
I usually had nothing to do, jobless and living by stealing.
With my Sacred Fire, I might be able to steal more efficiently, probably.
Dressed in a black jacket with a hoodie, red jeans, and black sunglasses, I walked out of my small apartment and locked the door, afraid of thieves going inside.
I walked down the stairs and headed toward a small park.
This is where I usually steal from my targets.
I sat on one of the many red benches and waited.
After three hours, a target appeared.
He looked like a kid about 15 years old, wearing blue shorts and a white t-shirt.
I slowly adjusted my sunglasses and walked quietly from behind one tree to another like a ninja.
The boy was so absorbed in playing a video game on his phone that he didn't notice me approaching.
To his left was his bag, which he carried around, now sitting on the red bench.
I opened my palm, and my scar glowed a red hue.
*fizzle
A ball of flame the size of a basketball appeared above my palm, and I slowly threw it at the boy like throwing a basketball.
The Sacred Fire basketball arched toward the boy and hit his head.
"Ahhhh! W-what is this!"
I ran quickly toward the boy and grabbed his phone that had fallen to the ground along with his bag.
Soon, I ran away from the scene and the park altogether; as for the boy's fate, I decided to only pray for the best for him.
Away from the park, I slowly walked my way to a shady stall that no one would approach.
After knocking on it once, the door opened, revealing a shady old man behind the counter.
"Jason, huh? What happened to your face?"
"Well, this is nothing. Anyway, old man Fang Yuan, I have some stolen stuff to sell," I said to the old man, handing him a bag and a sleek black expensive phone.
"Keh keh keh, who did you steal this time?" he laughed creepily while checking the items.
"The total for these things is 1,000 dollars."
"I'll take it," I said to him.
"Alright." The old man handed me the 1,000 dollars, and I departed from his shady shop.
Opening the door to my apartment, I headed to the kitchen and stashed my illegal money inside a metal safe hidden behind a ninja compartment.
I really liked ninjas.
I had my dinner of sausage and bread (again) and washed up before sleeping naked (as usual).
With this new power, I believe I can one day become the king of ninja thieves.
-The end-
