Chapter 1 has a lot of cliches but stick with me cuz I want to ease you into the world with something familiar.

A lone Bounty Hunter known as "D" walks into a loud tavern. The dark figures in of the tavern quickly grew silent as they find their gaze locked on D as he heads to table. D calls on the bar keep to get him a bottle of Gin. The bar keep looks around his tavern as a group dark figures slowly forms and approaches D. Each holding onto their 6 shot pistols by the hip. The bar keep musters up the courage to say "I daa da don't wa wa want no trouble. BEST GA GET OUT!". The hesitation in his tone gives D an idea of who the bar keep fears. D gives the tavern a quick scan. A larger figure advances from the crowd and holds a 6 shot to D's face. A moment of silence so thick you can cut with a knife. The large dark figure shoots just to the side of D grazing his cheek which startles the bar keep making him fall nocking down some booze off the shelves. As the bar keep falls to the grounds he sees glass shattering and booze everywhere. The bar keep tries to stand but his old knees would not allow him to. The bar keep says "HEY....!!!", before the last sound could exit his tongue all he can hear is a loud "BANG!!!" follow by a thud. Grabbing the counter the bar keep finally rises to finds a man on the ground. Smoke rises from his forehead like the bud off a lit cigar, blood starting to leave the body forming a river slowly progressing to the edge of the counters and a lifeless body. A loud scream from corner of the tavern and the group of dark figures starts to retreat back into their shadows. D "gin now". The bar keep grabs a cup and starts pouring his drink shaking missing the cup drenching the counter tops. D grabs the drink and chugs it down with one big gulp sighs and grabs his knife. He decapitates the figures head pulls it up to the bar keep saying "this should cover the bill and all the trouble". The bar keep looks at him in horror as D walks out.

The day was getting late and D decided to call it a day so he heads to the nearest Inn. He approaches the woman at the inn and pulls out a wanted poster of a man with a scar on his left cheek. The woman looks at bounty with eyes wide open. Trying to form a sentence she stutters to say "I have never seen this man". D "give me your cheapest room. I think I will spend the night". The woman trembling says "sorry sir we are all full all we have is the stables but they smell and are un kept. D " thats fine" as D hands her the 10 BB (Bounty Bills) to pay for the night. D lays his pistol on his left hand side on top of the table and his knife in his left hand under the pillow. He turns in for the night.

Morning comes as the rooster crows D starts to wake up. He smells an old familiar odor. One that he has known all his life. Even the horses manure could not cover such a smell. His eye lids starts to open but all he could see was a blur of a figure as he starts to open his eyes. A 6 shot revolver held D at gun point. The figure "YOU LOOKING FOR ME BOY!!?"........................
