The Legend of Rikuto Miyamoto
Long ago, the Earth was birthed from the Incarnate know as Gaia and became her inhabited child. Gaia had been a Kin of The Incarnates; Beings of true Embodiments with Power over what they personify. For Gaia, it was Earth.
At the beginning stages, Mankind had begun a curiosity spree of discovery. These growing discoveries led to trial, error and success in multiple regions and such, granting extremely vast amounts of quick knowledge to the new living beings. One of these people would be known as Rikuto Miyamoto, a man who wasn’t actually Human.
Rikuto was born on an Island that would become known as Japan. Growing up, he was a hard worker who helped his family and the village of Kaigan. He would break open Coconuts off of the trees and catch Fish within the would-be Sea of Japan with only a handmade Wooden Spear, a Rock and his bare hands.
As he grew into a Teenager, he’d soon would face his first enemy; The Serpent of Death known as Shi.
Shi had attempted to poison Rikuto to Death with its Venomous Bite, but Rikuto managed to endure the bite. In fact, he survived the bite and managed to rip out one of Shi’s fangs, causing the Death Snake to slither away in fear. The Kaigan Village honored his victory with a Feast of Seafood.
As his body grew, so did his knowledge. As he had stayed with his Village, he’d learn many Martial Arts from Fighters who’d perform Fight Shows, easily able to copy and master the Styles. He’d soon be able to enter the Sentō Tournament; a Fighting Tournament within the Arena of Ryūketsu.
The Sentō Tournament—which lasted for a month—would be brutal for both Rikuto and the other Fighters. Rikuto would break every bone in his right hand and would be kicked in the face mouth-first a multitude of times, but he still managed to put up a fight. So much so that he put extreme fear into all of the other Fighters. He’d end the Tournament with a score of 20 wins and 6 losses, making him second in place under the Leader of the Kaigan Village Sachiko Yoshida.
Years later, he’d soon become an Adult that’d be given fear and respect from his entire Village. Well, all except Sachiko. She had become both jealous and suspicious of Rikuto ever since he found Shi. This eventually altercation led to the following orders;
“You wanna prove yourself, Rikuto? Are you really as powerful as myself? Then leave this Island. Venture out afar and never return lest you make me cower.”
Although his family pleaded for the opposite, Rikuto agreed to Sachiko’s orders and sailed on his own away from the Island. Drifting through the Sea for many days, he’d soon found himself at a Desert of what would become the Sahara Desert.
Days would past as Rikuto would survive the harsh heat, managing to make himself a home within the new environment. However, it wasn’t long before someone had showed up; the real-life Satan. And he wasn’t happy about the battle with Shi. Appearing before Rikuto, the Devil himself stated;
“You dare make a mockery of Shi? The Serpent of Death? How bold of you! You were to die to its Venom, yet you made it spare you. And for such action, you will be mine!”
And with that, Rikuto was sent to Hell with Satan. Within Hell, Satan began to explain his orders of repayment.
“You are to train until you die. I have seen your capabilities, and so I want to push you to the max. Every bone will break. Every tear will shed. And every drop of blood will stain this place until you make me feel Fear. And during all of this, you cannot utter a cry. Nor a yell. Neither a plead. Nothing! Understand, Rikuto?”
With just a silent nod, Rikuto would begin a 20-year-long training session. And to say he went through Hell was an understatement; he broke all of his bones 4 times, passed out from blood loss once and became so exhausted he hibernated for a month. But as those 20 years went by, he became stronger. He could punch through Obsidian, bare pain and become a master in Combat all while retaining his adult look. And at the end of those 20 long years, he would soon unlock something special; an Absolute Menacing Presence. And once it was unlocked, even Satan himself was genuinely horrified.
”What have you become, Rikuto? This is IMPOSSIBLE!” The Devil shouts. “You have become something else! You are no Mortal, you are a walking Supernatural. You have survived everything! And with that, I must reward you with new Eyes and a Book..”
And with those words, Satan would tear out Rikuto’s eyes and replace them with the Eyes of The Antichrist; powerful Satanic eyes capable of seeing everything and also being able to kill any Mortals with a single 5-second gaze. Rikuto would also gain the Grimoire of Lucifer’s Sorcery, allowing him to summon Demons and access Demonic Magic.
After receiving his new Eyes and the Grimoire, Rikuto was sent back to the Desert without another word from Satan. Once arriving there, he ventured onwards and began to walk around the Sandy dunes. As he wandered about, he soon came across a gigantic Colosseum. This Colosseum was known as Heimdall’s Ring of Order.
As he entered the Colosseum, he’d soon come across Heimdall, the Herald of Ragnarök and thw Norse God of Foresight, Surveillance, Order and Foreknowledge. Heimdall immediately noticed Rikuto, but would be struck with Absolute Fear before he could do anything.
“ωнαт ιѕ тнιѕ? α ѕυρєяηαтυяαℓ?” Heimdall spoke with terror in his tone. “αη∂ уσυ нανє тнє єуєѕ σƒ тнє αηтι¢няιѕт. уσυ мυѕт вє ƒяσм ѕαтαη..”
Rikuto had just nodded, leaving Heimdall speechless. The Norse God immediately bowed to the Supernatural Being. Then, Heimdall spoke again.
“ι нανє ηєνєя ѕєєη ѕσмєσηє ℓιкє уσυ. ƒяσм уσυя ѕιgнт, уσυ мυѕт’νє вєєη тняσυgн нєℓℓ. вє¢αυѕє σƒ тнιѕ αη∂ мαηу мσяє, ι вєℓιєνє уσυ ∂єѕєяνє ѕσмєтнιηg. ι ωιℓℓ тαкє уσυ тσ тнє кιηѕ σƒ ιη¢αяηαтє.”
Rikuto nodded once more as Heimdall teleported the two of them to The Land of Embodiments. After walking around, Heimdall gestures to an Incarnate, with Rikuto following where the Norse God was pointing at.
“ι мυѕт gσ ησω, вυт тнєяє ιѕ gαια. уσυ αяє gяαηтє∂ ιηтσ му ¢σℓσѕѕєυм αт αηу тιмє. ƒαяєωєℓℓ, ѕυρєяηαтυяαℓ.” Heimdall stated before he teleports away, vanishing.
Rikuto began to step forward, heading towards Gaia. Gaia would see him, immediately scared.
“ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ..? ʏᴏᴜ..ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ꜰᴇᴀʀ ɪᴛꜱᴇʟꜰ. ʙᴜᴛ ɪ ꜱᴇᴇ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ɴᴏ ʜᴀʀᴍ.” Gaia spoke, looking at Rikuto with curiosity. “ɪ ᴀᴍ ɢᴀɪᴀ, ᴋɪɴ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ɪɴᴄᴀʀɴᴀᴛᴇꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴇʀꜱᴏɴɪꜰɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇᴀʀᴛʜ. ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ?”
Rikuto spoke for the first time in years. “I am Rikuto Miyamoto, the Satanic Shrine of Death or simply known as Jinja. I have been trained by Satan himself for 20 years and I’m from the Kaigan Village.”
“ɪ ꜱᴇᴇ. ɪ ᴡɪꜱʜ ɪ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ʜᴇʟᴘ ʏᴏᴜ, ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ɢɪᴠᴇ ᴏꜰꜰ ᴀʙꜱᴏʟᴜᴛᴇ ꜰᴇᴀʀ. ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴇʏᴇꜱ ᴀʀᴇ ᴛʜᴏꜱᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀɴᴛɪᴄʜʀɪꜱᴛ.” Gaia had paused in thought as she spoke, observing Rikuto. “ɪ ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ɪ ᴄᴀɴ ʜᴇʟᴘ ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴛʜɪꜱ.” She hands him a Key with a smile. “ʜᴇʀᴇ ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴋᴇʏ ᴛᴏ ᴍʏ ꜱᴀɴᴄᴛᴜᴀʀʏ. ᴛᴀᴋᴇ ɪᴛ.”
Rikuto nods as he takes the key before bowing to Gaia. He’d began wandering through The Land of Embodiments, giving all the Kins of Incarnte fear. And with that fear came a new enemy; a Raven-like Beast.
The Raven Beast would soon force him into a fight with it. However, despite it being able to claw his arm, he was able to kill it with his 5-second Killing Eyes. Once the beast was dead, the Kins of Incarnate immediately began to worship him. They spoke of the Raven Beast being a sign of Death and have never seen anyone kill it. In return for Rikuto’s actions, the Kins of Incarnate rewarded him with Odyssey’s Blades; two Green Fire Blades capable of piercing and slicing through everything.
Taking his last gift, Rikuto would venture all the way back to the Kaigan Village. And to say that Sachiko was impressed was an understatement; she had become so terrified of his mere presence that she immediately gave up her Leadership. This lead to the Kaigan Village to become known as The Inferno Creed; a Cult that worships Rikuto like a Shrine of Satan’s creation. They even called him the living Antichrist and would listen to every single order he commanded.
What happened to Rikuto from then on was a mystery. Legends say he’s still venturing around the entire world serving as a secondary Kin of Incarnate, while others say he had fallen in love with Lilith’s first Succubus Daughter. But to this day, everyone knows the story of a Supernatural Entity that went through Hell to prove himself.
