Chapter 0:

Susami Kaito

Piracy In Another World: I Will Plunder The System


“You are such a letdown. I guess you will never amount to anything.”

Harsh right?

These were the first words I remember from my childhood—the words of my mother.

But it was not the words that stung so deeply; it was the look in her eyes. The look of someone who had given up on a failure. Cold and glazed over. Not looking at me, but beyond me. As if I did not exist.

It was at that moment that I knew I was dead to my mother.

My father was not much different. Although he never said anything directly, his silence spoke volumes. To be perfectly honest, I don’t think we shared a single conversation in over ten years.

As soon as my younger sister was born, they ceased to acknowledge my existence at all. All their love and attention were directed towards her. Well, that’s a lie, I guess. It wasn’t as if she stole their love. They simply never loved me to begin with.

Did my mother’s comments haunt me?

Perhaps.

Or perhaps it was deeper than that. Maybe I was simply always inadequate at everything, and her comments were merely an observation of my abilities, not a life-altering trauma.

Eighteen years ago, my parents gave me the name Susami Kaito, a name they bestowed when they still held hope for me. Now, all these years later, I am still searching for my place in this world. It may just be my stubbornness, but I refuse to believe I truly am hopeless.

Perhaps one day I will find my place in this world. How I long to escape from all this. A new self, a new me. How I longed to sail the seas. The salt in the air and the wind behind me. I could go on a journey to find treasure, to find myself. What greater joy is there than finding oneself?

But what are the chances of that happening?

Without any prior warning, a flash of white light engulfed the entire classroom. A few of the female class members screamed out in shock. Some of the guys yelled a few expletives.

A force of nausea and dizziness washed over me. The world felt like it was distorting around me. At the same time, I could feel my eyelids grow heavy. My consciousness began to wane. Just before my vision completely dimmed, and I fully blacked out, I heard a mysterious voice echo in my head.
