The Spark

A very rundown and peculiar shack I woke up in. The roof looks as if it's about to fall off at any moment. 

Where am I, who am I?

are the first thoughts that came to my mind. 

Ruri, that's it!

 That's my name Ruri. But I don't remember anything besides my name, why am I here. I get up and notice a broken mirror on the wall of this peculiar shack and think to myself. 

Wow! I have very bright red hair.

 As I admired my good build body and crimson hair I realized, my hair isn't the only thing that is reddish, I got stabbed in my abdomen, as I slowly turn around to find a bandit with a cloak, hiding his face. The only thing I could notice was the pretentious smirk on his face and his razor-sharp teeth before fainting.

I wake up again in an unknown place. Not that I could have known it, this whole world is unknown to me. 

I guess today isn't my day, losing my memory than getting stabbed I am certainly not god's favorite. 

Compared to the rundown shack this place is a huge upgrade despite it being dark I could see the well-built and strong walls, and a super reinforced door, at least I won't die from the ceiling falling on me. Surprisingly my stabbed gut was all patched up I guess even bandits have hearts. The very reinforced door gets opened after what felt like a thousand locks being opened. 

Am I really that dangerous? 

A large man walks in, behind him is the man who stabbed me and his annoying cloak that hid most of his face.

"Heh! a pretty boy, he will fetch a Pretty penny with that hair color", said the large man with an accomplished look on his face.

"I am flattered but being called pretty by a pig does not feel like a compliment".

After receiving a heavy punch to my pretty face, that fatzo leaves the room after spitting on the ground, leaving the cloaked man to guard me.

"You know that people with an attitude like don't survive long in this world", said the cloaked my while getting the first aid kit.

"Ow!", I yell as he disinfects my busted lip.

"Can't sell damaged goods. Names Haai, Nice to meet cha."

I could finally see the face of Mr. cloak, he has a very sharp nose and shark-like teeth. and very fair and white skin.

"Don't sell damaged goods? you stabbed me remember?" 

"Oh, that was because it's easier to carry fainted people to the basement."

"Doesn't that fatso get mad at you for stabbing his products?"

"He let it slide, after all, I just joined. Don't worry what I am about to do will make him much madder"

"You are gonna do what?"

"Say, dude, you look pretty strong how about we beat up these slave-trading scums together and get money worth a hundred times more than your pretty face?" Haai said with a devilish smirk on his face.

"How rude, my face is worth more than all of the fortune of the world combined. So what are you waiting for let's get ready"

"I knew it! my gut feeling was on point. let's do this."

"Ruri, that's my name"

"Nice to meet cha, Ruri" 

"Untie me first then you can have your moment, also do you have a plan to take down the large man and I am sure he is not alone. How do we even fight them"

"don't sweat the small details." Says Haai, with the most innocent smile ever.

"Small details?!?!?!"

In an instant, he throws his cloak and his body transforms into a shark-like form. Haai breaks the extremely reinforced door with a single punch! 

This guy is a monster.

"Let's go partner," he said while throwing me the sword on his waist.

"Partner?!??!?!"
