A bright sun reflects the atmosphere’s state, which is healthy and shining. Along with the pure fresh air, two boys were walking side to side slowly, appreciating the colorful atmosphere while they chat.


    Donovan: “So… Uh, are you going to continue training or you''re going back to the USA?”


    Hjalmer: “Honestly, I might just stay here for a while now”


    Donovan expressed his joy by throwing punches in the air.


    Donovan: “Excellent! Then we can continue getting more and more in shape!”


    The boy with dark blue hair simply laughed as he puts both of his hands in his head, as a relaxed position.


    Hjalmer: “Haha, I know, but, I’ve been thinking on studying more…”


    Donovan: “How come?”


    Hjalmer sighs and explains with no motivation.


    Hjalmer: “My parents told me to keep studying since my grades are decreasing… And honestly, I don’t really like how the school is getting me all stressed out.”


    Hjalmer: “Agh, just nevermind I’m done with this school nerd stuff.”


    Donovan: “Why are your grades decreasing?? You’re doing good in school… I guess”


    Hjalmer: “It’s just that… Agh, I’m not fully interested in learning some stupid stuff…”


    The boy with golden eyes gives him a dap with motivation .


    Donovan: “Never forget you got my support!


    The dark blue hair boy doesn’t respond, admiring Donovan’s response.


    Hjalmer: “Well, you know how I get when I’m all stressed so…”


    The teenager didn’t finish his sentence, as he instictively sprinted rapidly


    Donovan: “Oh no you’re not winning this one!”


    The boy with golden eyes also follows him, keeping up the same speed.


    Hjalmer: “How are you even keeping up with me?! We both know you’re slower than me!”


    Donovan: “I was just holding back!”


    Donovan’s leg released a powerful boost, running twice as fast as hjalmer


    Hjalmer, in the other side, gets pissed off, using his abilities to reach his best friend


    Donovan: “Wh-what?! You’re using your jégosgalia?! WHY!?”


    Hjalmer ignores him and continues racing.


    Donovan: “If so…”


    Golden particles are emitted from the ground, reaching Donovan''s head in the form of a tornado.


    Donovan: "Here I come!"


    He places himself in the position of a professional sprinter and runs so fast that his footprints leave a defined mark. Donovan catches up with Hjalmer and he pushes him away.


    Donovan: "Hey, since when can you push?!"


    Hjalmer: "Who said it couldn''t be done?"


    Donovan looks at him in frustration without being able to answer him, consequently he collides with a tree. Hjalmer stops and laughs exaggeratedly while pointing at him


    Hjalmer: "HAHAHA"


    Donovan makes incomprehensible sounds of pain as he gets up.


    Donovan: "It''s not fair dude... I didn''t see the tree"


    Hjalmer: "There are obstacles in professional careers for a reason."


    The guy with golden eyes doesn’t reply back, asking a question.


    Donovan: "Anyway, are you feeling better yet?"


    Hjalmer: "Yes and no."


    Donovan: "Why?"


    Hjalmer looks at him for a few seconds, then walks again.


    Donovan: "Hjalmer, what''s wrong?"


    Hjalmer: "Have you ever had the feeling that you have to do something for the world?"


    Donovan is silent to think of a well-formulated answer.


    Donovan in his mind: "I never thought of that but I’m just going to lie..."


    Donovan: "Well, yes."


    Hjalmer: "I have several things planned to improve the economy and repair disasters in this disgusting world..."


    Donovan: "And how will you do it?"


    Hjalmer turns his head a little to have physical contact with his best friend by touching his shoulder tightly.


    Hjalmer: "Don’t worry.”


    Donovan: “And what you’re going to do then?”


    Hjalmer stares at Donovan, slowly giving a creepy smile


    Hjalmer: “Oh you know, change the world”


    Donovan reacts shockingly, stepping back


    Donovan in his mind: “This is not Hjalmer… This is not him, what’s going on?”


    Donovan: “And how you’re gonna change the world then?”


    He says, as he starts acting and laughs like it was real.


    Hjalmer: “Oh Don’t worry dude. Besides, Humans are creatures who only want to satisfy their needs in their absolute conformity, to become useless and live without any decisive purpose”


    The golden-eyed boy stares at him, asking.


    Donovan: “Why are you saying those things? I’m quite confused…”


    Hjalmer: “Donovan, it’s just that…I often see how horrible this truth is.”


    Donovan: "What… Truth, exactly…?


    Hjalmer took a deep breath and try to regain his composure.


    Hjalmer: "Let’s just… stop it here, okay?”


    Donovan: “Dude, come on! I can help; I’m your best friend.”


    Hjalmer’s face hardened again, his frustration took control over him.


    Donovan: “You… Okay?”


    Hjalmer stops smiling, kicking Donovan and sending him flying… Donovan collides on a giant deformed rock as he growls of pain.


    <h2>December 15th, 2041. 1:28 P.M.</h2>


    As the death battle between opposites starts, the body transforms into a vessel of raw, untamed energy. Muscles coil and tighten like some ancient serpents awakening from a deep sleep, poised to strike lethal precision. The whole ground gave way under their shoes, as though it was trying to contain the force of their fight. Like tremors resonating across the universe, each strike that was dealt sent shockwaves vibrating through the earth. The two warriors stood… their breaths ragged and bodies trembling a testament to the ferocity of their death battle. Every ounce of strength expended, they locked eyes in desire to kill each other, their souls too weary to continue, knowing they’ll die of excess fatigue, so they gave their last prodigy moves.


    <h2>2:53 P.M.</h2>


    As the final blow was struck, the battlefield descended into a creepy calmness so deep that even the noises of nature seem vanished. 1 HOUR AND 25 MINUTES OF CONSTANT FIGHT. Winner: Undecided. THE BATTLE BETWEEN OPPOSITES HAS ENDED.


    <h2>5 hours later, 7:46 P.M.</h2>


    Donovan was found lying on his back with severe injuries, staring up at the sky and thinking to himself, “This is not Hjalmer…" He heard heavy footsteps approaching him as he attempted to rise up, and Hjalmer with a broken arm arrived.


    Hjalmer: ”Donovan, why don’t you realize that WE HAVE THE POWER TO MANIPULATE AND SHAPE THIS WORLD…?”


    Donovan is quite confused of what’s this drastic and rapid change of his best friend.


    Hjalmer stared at Donovan, looking disappointed by how Donovan didn’t understand his message. Hjalmer: “We may be 13 year old kiddos fighting, but in this moment, we are men that fight to claim the crown.”


    Donovan: “What crown-” Hjalmer stomps Donovan on his throat repeatdly, enjoying the desperate screams of Donovan.


    Hjalmer laughs with a sadistic tone. Seconds later, Hjalmer cuts Donovan’s legs and abandons his best friend on the floor, injured.


    The cut was so painful Donovan lost his voice for screaming a lot.


    Due to the JégosGalia''s high level of risk, Donovan rarely ever utilized it; so he was unable to activate it without his emotions. He continued to bleed until he was almost dead, but his spirit never slipped, and at the very last second, he used his JégosGalia "God''s Rend" to reverse all of his wounds.


    Donovan stands up agitated by the intense adrenaline he experienced, with all his efforts he tried to get up, however, the great ability to regenerate left him dizzy enough that he did not walk well.


    Donovan: "Agh... How did this happen so quickly...?"


    In the valley there was a great disaster, where nature was dirty and destroyed, the contour had somewhat large cracks that evidenced the chaotic fight of Hjalmer against Donovan.


    Donovan in his mind: “I should get back home before my parents punish me… Dammit.”


    He came back home dizzy and more pale than ever. His parents got worried and quickly went to him.


    Donovan’s mother (Ms.Ivanel): “Son! What happened?!”


    Donovan: “Hjalmer… I got into a fight with him and he left… us…”


    As he was finishing his sentence, he lowered his tone.


    His mother looks at him, with confusion and doubts about the current situation. She hugs him and pats his head with ease.


    Donovan hugs her, as he zones out into his thoughts.


    Donovan in his mind: “I’ll tell Hjalmer’s family about this..”


    Her mother lets him go, as he woke up from his deepest thoughts. The teen with golden eyes walks to the door unmotivated and exhausted. On his way out, he finds Hjalmer''s father, who happens to be desperately asking about his son.


    Donovan: "Mr. Drameus!"


    Mr.Drameus : "Ah, champ! Have you seen Hjalmer?"


    Donovan looks him in the eye with a worried face without even answering him. The father assumes that he does not know where he is.


    Donovan: "He... He left."


    Hjalmer''s father tilts his head a little, looking at him confused, not knowing what he meant.


    Donovan: "I just... He abandoned us."


    Mr. Drameus: "But why?"


    Donovan: "Well, I don''t know... I felt something strange since I insisted on helping him. He got angry with me, attacked me, we fought and he stepped on my throat until I bled..."


    Mr.Drameus: "What are you talking about...? My son would never do that."


    The father raised his voice, even though he was horrified.


    Donovan: "I say the same thing, but it''s up to you whether you want to believe me or not."


    Hjalmer''s dad clenched his fist and sighed.


    Mr.Drameus: "I need you to give me the details of how it all happened."


    Donovan nodded his head to begin to explain, meanwhile, Donovan''s mother came out to listen to what was happening.


    Donovan: "We were walking to the Altar of Eshaana Gromsnaga, while we were talking about the school and... I wonder if I didn''t feel that something had to be done with this world... I lied to him because something was wrong..."


    Donovan looked down as if he were messing it all up. He kept talking.


    Donovan: "Anyway, I asked him how he wanted to change the world but he told me something that humans only want to satisfy their needs and then be useless and have no decisive purpose..."


    Hjalmer''s father was astonished by his son''s comment without saying anything at all.


    Donovan: "As I repeat, he got angry because I insisted and well, what happened happened... After waking up I didn''t find him anywhere."


    Mr. Drameus: "I don''t think he''ll abandon us, I guess he just had a hard time, he''s like that sometimes."


    Mr. Drameus comments with a slight smile encouraging Donovan


    Donovan doesn''t feel sure what his best friend''s father is saying.


    Donovan: "I''ll try to find Hjalmer."


    Mr. Drameus: "Be careful!"


    Donovan: "Yes!"


    Donovan jumps high to move from house to house.


    Donovan in his thoughts: "Really... What''s wrong with Hjalmer?"


    The golden-eyed boy activates his Dvasinis Nexus, trying to connect with Hjalmer, however, when he does so he hears a void, as if no one is there.


    Donovan through Dvasinis Nexus: "Hjalmer! Answer me, Hjalmer!"


    The boy did his best to talk to Hjalmer, but the chasm was a great obstacle that he could not undo.


    Donovan in his thoughts: "This guy is a weird... I can''t even contact him if I want to."


    The teenager regrets insisting on his best friend, and he goes ahead looking for him.


    Donovan''s fierce and desperate jumps cause a wake-up call to those who strolled through a square lit by many shopping malls.


    Donovan in his thoughts: "I''m starting to doubt, why am I trying to find him? Not even the Dvasinis Nexus works..."


    Donovan ends up at the top of a chair, appreciating the beautiful night of the thousands of living lights.


    Donovan: "I give up. This will take me centuries..."And so he returns home jumping much faster.


    A man: "Is that a booster?!"


    People notice the appearance of a booster, screaming in surprise.


    Donovan: "Hm? And what are they doing watching me?!”


    The teenager felt uncomfortable and sped up to go back home.


    Donovan: “First of all… What are boosters? I never heard that term before… I should ask my mother.”


    After some minutes of leaping from place to place, he arrived with a big stomp that vibrated the whole ground.


    His mother ran to him to assure he’s okay.


    Ms.Ivanel: “Donovan! Are you okay? Did you find your friend?” she asked while cleaning the dust with her hand gently.


    Donovan: “It’s gonna take me decades to find him, I can’t even contact him with my dvasinis nexus…


    Ms.Ivanel: “Impossible.”


    Donovan: “Oh yeah, also, what’s a booster?”


    His mother looks at him with a gentle smile.


    Ms.Ivanel: “A booster is the name given for someone who has a jégosgalia… It’s pretty rare to find someone like you in this country.”


    Donovan gets more curious and keeps asking her mother.


    Donovan: “Why is it rare?”


    Ms.Ivanel: “I… Don’t know… The jégosgalia is a mysterious and terrifying thing. The one who knows more about this is your cousin.”


    Donovan: “You mean Danko?! He never comes here! The last time I saw him is when I turned nine years old…”


    Ms.Ivanel: “Honey, that’s because he’s working, you know his parents aren’t in a good state…”


    Donovan takes a deep breath and sighs.


    The sudden comment made Donovan nervous as he looked at him with desperation.


    Mr.Drameus: “Hey champ, did you found him?”


    Mr.Drameus: “Champ?”


    Donovan: “It’s no use… It’s going to take me million of years to find him…”


    Mr. Drameus looks at him gently, moving closer to him. Donovan stands there in confusion. Mr. Drameus hits him hard that Donovan spouts blood from his nose


    Mr. Drameus: "IS THIS HOW YOU COME BACK, YOU DAMN BASTARD?"


    The loudly strong slap got Donovan''s mom angry.


    Donovan: "Mr. Drameus... Excuse me, I''ll try to look for him one more time-"


    Mr. Drameus: "Silence."


    Donovan''s mother punches Mr. Drameus on the neck, along with a kick in the private parts.


    Ms.Ivanel: "Now I see why your wife left you, idiotic womanizer."


    The feral kick left the man on the ground screaming in pain.


    Donovan''s mother grabbed him very tightly by the hair.


    Ms.Ivanel: "Don''t return to this place, ever again."


    Mr.Drameus was so frightened by the look of the golden eyes that he began to go crazy.


    Mr.Drameus: "The... Eyes of... The reincarnation of Dainius..!"


    The man was alarmed, he did his best to run as fast as he could, but this was difficult because of the pain he received in his genital parts.


    Donovan: “Mom?”


    Ms.Ivanel: “There’s a lot you don’t know about this family…”


    Donovan: “What are you talking about?”


    The comment got Donovan more confused and intrigued on the mysterious family he has.


    Donovan in his mind: “What is relevant about my family...?? Why do I have golden eyes...? What does gold mean..?


    Donovan''s important questions spread and filled his head that he was unfocused on what was happening.


    Ms.Ivanel: "——- Although in the end it was your father who made it."


    (—— Means a character is talking, while the other is distracted.)


    Donovan''s mother spoke without taking into account that her son was distracted.


    Ms.Ivanel: "Do you understand?"


    After a few seconds, Mrs. Ivanel sees that her son does not respond and she raises her voice a little.


    Ms.Ivanel: "Donovan!"


    Donovan gets scared and responds quickly


    Donovan: "Ehh.. yes, yes..."


    Ms.Ivanel: "Yes, yes, what? I know you''re not listening to me, what’s on your mind?"


    The mother extends her right arm to hug him.


    Donovan: "Why do I have golden eyes, Mom?"


    Donovan''s mother stops hugging him after a few seconds and smiles at him.


    Ms.Ivanel: "You''ll see."


    She walks to the door leaving Donovan outside in the slum.


    Donovan: "Where are you going?!"


    Donovan raises his voice in curiosity


    Ms.Ivanel: "I''m going to cook and finish some meetings!"


    Donovan nods his head and leaps to the highest point of the church to continue appreciating the aesthetics of the city.


    Donovan covers his forehead with his hand with a disappointed expression at himself, thinking about being more careful with his words.


    Meanwhile, a faint light flashes rapidly, Hjalmer breathes heavily, staring at his blood-smeared hands. Three people were frightened by what Hjalmer caused, a homicide. The three people fled as far as possible and Hjalmer turned his head to his right, where there was broken glass. Hjalmer smiled and broke the glass… The sirens of the police could be heard about 10 meters from the alley. Hjalmer leaned out and slowly approached. The police went towards the conflict, they pointed out nervously.


    Police: "Hands up! This is the p-police"


    Hjalmer smiled slightly and raised his hands as if ordered abruptly.


    Hjalmer: "Oh, they caught me, too bad."


    Hjalmer responded with a neutral tone without any fear.


    Police: "Put your hands to your head and get on your knees!"


    Hjalmer: "What?"


    Police: "Get on your knees!"


    Hjalmer: "Ah?"


    Hjalmer''s game killed the policeman''s patience, and he grabbed his Glock-17 tighter.


    Police: "Don''t make me repeat"


    Hjalmer: "Repeat what?"


    The bullet was fired suddenly. Hjalmer did not move a millimetre... There was none wound. The policeman was shocked because the bullet did not go through him, it remained intact in his clothes!


    Even with 365 m/s. His enhanced reflexes made him caught the bullet with his chest, the bullet lost its kinetic energy by spinning slower and slower to the point it didn’t move and collapse.


    Police: "W-What?! You— who... Or what are you?!"


    The policeman panicked too much that he vomited on the ground.


    Hjalmer: "Man, you did eat a lot today. But anyway, now it''s your turn to rest that meal, hahaha..."


    Police: “What the fu-”


    Hjalmer absorbed all the energy proudly, unleashing a furious attack on the policeman''s throat. The scene is shown by looking at a fragment of broken glass on the floor, reflecting the worn walls that were covered in blood. Hjalmer is expressionless and after a few seconds, he covers his left eye while laughing lightly.


    Hjalmer: "Hmm.... Why... Is it fun for me to kill?"


    Moving on to Donovan, he had a strange feeling that something is being caused right now. A cold sensation passes through his entire body, alerting him to a dark and inexplicable presence.


    Donovan in his mind: "What the fuck is this...?!"


    His body felt a stinging presence, piercing his entire body as if it were a hedgehog in contact.


    Donovan clenched his fist, trying to keep his composure and looking at a fixed point to think about his decision. The presence pressured him to be fast, the fear also led him to an absurd despair.


    Donovan in his mind: "If I don''t go there, I won''t know what happened, if I do, I don''t know if it will be something that will be difficult for me to solve, besides, I have to think of a plan, no, I have to be quick."


    Donovan''s absurd questions made him doubt why he kept arguing with himself. Donovan raised his head quickly and sighed


    Donovan in his mind: "Let the party begin."


    The golden-eyed boy stood up with a determined & serious expression on his face, the ceiling started a light rumble and golden particles were surrounding him. He leaped so hard that he cracked the ceiling. Inside the church, The priest was preparing the chalice, bread, wine and altar for the Mass. He was frightened after hearing the roar of a desperate voice. The roof cracked showing Donovan''s footprints.


    Priest: “What''s going on?!”


    The priest ran to check the church’s outside, looking for the recent destruction.


    Priest: “Those golden particles… Wait…”


    Priest in his mind: “I know these particles, they seem familiar… Don’t tell me it is…”


    The priest screams at the top of his lungs with agony and frustration


    Priest: “Donovan Ivanel!!!”


    Donovan turned his head to the side, hearing someone shout his name in annoyance from 30 meters away.


    Donovan: "Now what did I do?"


    Donovan did a grimacing expression remembering what he did.


    Donovan: "Ohhh right, the ceiling. after this I’ll repair it."


    Donovan''s speed was increased dramatically, and he became desperate for his curiosity. Hjalmer felt a huge chill hug his neck tightly.


    Hjalmer: "W-What is this weird feeling?!"


    Hjalmer immediately checks to his side, showing the two dead people in the gray alley. The agonizing space barely let Hjalmer look up, looking at a boy in a blue jacket next to golden particles around him.


    Hjalmer: "You, son of a...!"


    Donovan noticed the same clothes his best friend was wearing.


    Donovan in his mind: "Is that Hjalmer?! Time to talk to him."


    He lands abruptly, damaging the worn soil with the soles of his feet.


    Donovan: "Hjalmer!"


    Just as Donovan landed, a straight punch was thrown in a thousandth of a second, hitting Donovan''s solar plexus. Donovan begins to cough up blood. Tiredness leads him to give up talking to him, which leads him to the extreme.


    Donovan: "It seems that our language now is not English... Now, it’s the blows."


    The Golden-Eyed Boy healed himself and started bouncing on his place, while his best friend looked at him with disgust. Hjalmer was so annoyed he took a deep breath and exhaled to continue hitting him. However, just as soon as he extended his arm, a golden slash swept diagonally, brushing against his tangled, tousled hair.


    Hjalmer: "Stop with the bullshit."


    His surly voice gave Donovan a sense of seriousness.


    Donovan: "If you say so."


    Two invisible blows were connected to Hjalmer''s liver and stomach. A great agony took hold of Hjalmer''s consciousness, so much so that his jégosgalia began to spiral out of control, pushing Donovan away with a shockwave. Hjalmer slowly crouched down and with his right hand grabbed his right side of his face, as if something was bothering him. Donovan worries that he runs towards him slowly, knowing that he has hurt him without any reasonable explanation.

    Donovan: "Hjalmer! Is something wrong with you?!"


    The sixth step... Hjalmer expressionlessly landed a chop on Donovan''s neck, opening his skin somewhat. Which led him to regenerate, but Hjalmer, without a human heart, impaled his best friend. The golden-eyed boy kept going and kept regenerating, but the American sociopath repeated the same attack.


    Donovan in his mind: "Why does this fucking idiot keep up with the same attack?! Is he even conscious?!"


    Donovan, with the little strength he had, landed an uppercut without rotating his hips and feet, without generating any power. The most he could do was raise his head slightly, seeing that his eyes were closed.


    Donovan in his mind: "Why am I still here?! REACT."


    The inner voice drives Donovan to create an orb that reverses the damage to the one who caused it. Hjalmer''s sharp nails came into contact with the orb that was thrown into the sky.


    Donovan with an inhuman leap, caused the windows of the buildings to vibrate, collapsing like a rain glass. The citizens near the action recorded, others fled by instinct and some shouted to stop. Donovan didn''t seem to care about the citizens at all, his only goal was to finish off Hjalmer. The golden-eyed boy came to the distance needed to finish off Hjalmer. A strong fist bump, mixed with the aura, created a macabre atmosphere where many people began to feel dizzy.


    Donovan: “Why do you keep running away from me?! What’s wrong, dude?”


    Hjalmer looks at him, grunting in despair to finish the fight quickly.


    Hjalmer: “I hate you.”


    Donovan looks at him amazed by his response.


    Donovan: “Dude, I don’t want to fight you! There’s a another way we can talk about this!”


    Hjalmer Chuckles, punching Donovan in the stomach, sending him to the ground in the street.


    Hjalmer: "Pfft... Ha ha ha... Another way, you say? This world needs no other absurd way, it needs an order... A control."


    Hjalmer: "Do you plan to sympathize with me? No, you can''t. Power is not about understanding, it is about dominating.”


    Donovan: "And you call yourself my best friend, but it looks like you''ve become a jerk who only thinks about power and power."


    Donovan''s look reflects his disappointment with his so-called best friend. The golden-eyed boy''s voice became icy.


    Hjalmer: "I don''t need your fucking useless pity, dumbass. You''re in my way.”


    Donovan: "No, I''m not in your way, you''ve lost yourself. I won''t let you drag my family down with you. If you keep this up, you might be wrong and destroy this world.”


    Hjalmer speaks without shyness, with a strong and aggressive voice.


    Hjalmer: "Chaos brings order... You will do it with me, or you will get in my way.”


    Cars stopped and honked, some drivers came out to yell at the teenagers. The atmosphere became tense enough to cause a controversy, the news announced this event live.


    Donovan: "You are never aware of what you cause."


    Hjalmer: "You never asked yourself the question of why you exist."


    Donovan looks at him in shock without giving him any answer back. Hjalmer smiles at him in a macabre way and flees from the controversial place. A long-haired man with a beard helps him up, Donovan zoned out.


    Long-haired man: "Buddy, you good?"


    Donovan didn''t pay him an ounce of attention, focused on his thoughts as the man shook him, and nothing. The newscast trotted over to Donovan to ask him questions.


    Newscast: "Sir, what exactly happened?"


    Donovan''s horrified look suggested that something was wrong.


    Long-haired man: "Hey, I don''t think he’s paying attention..."


    Newscast: "It seems not, and you, what happened?"


    Long-haired man: "Well, all I saw was two guys fighting in the sky... I even felt a little dizzy, I wanted to vomit, it was something strange."


    Newscast: "But why doesn''t he react?"


    Long-haired man: "I don''t know, I''ll try to get his attention."


    The long-haired man slaps him hard that Donovan became aware of.


    Donovan: "W-What happened?”


    Long-haired man: "What happened to you?"


    Donovan remained silent, took the hand away from the helper ran and then propelled himself with his jégosgalia.


    Long-haired man: "Hey boy, wait!"


    The man tried to keep up with him but he was very fast that in 5 seconds Donovan was already in the air.


    Donovan was alarmed by the people surrounding the place.


    Donovan announcing to Hjalmer’s family & his family that his best friend left with disrespectful comments about them. They asked him if he would return, and Donovan had a preoccupied but angry look by the fact he knew Hjalmer would never come back.


    Donovan: ”I sense the bitterness he embraces toward us, and right now… he’s having a mixture of undesired emotions, his mind is blinded by something strange… I don’t really know what it is, but it’s strange.”


    His family discussed the situation, while the protagonist, exhausted from using his God’s Rend, went to sleep with his doubt about what’s wrong with Hjalmer.


    <h2>Present:</h2>


    4 Years Later after the disappearance of Hjalmer, Donovan continued his casual live, improving himself every day, but those 4 years were really boring since he lacked a purpose. But for what reason was he improving for? Donovan never thought on the reason why he improved himself or what he wanted to become, he just did it by instinct. During his senior year, April, students were skipping school, one by one… The situation became an important announcement around the school. Donovan was curious of the current situation, so he planned on staying in the school for investigations. Despite having a natural aptitude for academics, Ivanel frequently skipped school to escape stress since he disliked strict schedules that might be harmful to mental health.


    At 6:35 P.M. on April 17, he arrived at school to find the familiar gloomy and melancholic rooms due to shadows cast across the empty hallways. Donovan felt as though someone was keeping an eye on him from the shadows because of the uncanny quiet. Donovan predicted an opponent''s attack as he neared a dangerous way and managed to deflect it, but the strike broke his forearm.


    Donovan: “Damn… you got some strong legs right there huh…”


    His humor was ignored by the rival, who punched him until the school''s windows shattered. The opponent''s hoodie came off during their fight, exposing a blue and platinum-haired girl with facial injuries. She had no fighting spirit and appeared emotionless. They kept trading punches until underground pipes exploded, and Donovan just managed to avoid it before it missed his chin.


    Donovan: “Metallokinesis…? What a unique power huh.”


    He touches the pipes to erase them as dust vanishes in the air.


    Donovan: “God’s Rend.”


    The mysterious girl backed off for remembering what her superior told her to find (She was not fully conscious). She was about to counter him, but Donovan quickly used God’s Rend to make her not move an inch.


    Donovan: “There’s always going to be a reason for every action. So, answer me, you’re attacking me because someone told you to, right?”


    The girl was terrified by the traumas she has had with her superior. Donovan didn''t understand what was going on, so he let her move to talk things out. As Donovan activated his Dvasinis Nexus and connected with the mysterious girl, he saw her traumas & past, he instantly recognized the villainous and psychopathic face of his ex best-friend. The mysterious girl gained full self-awareness and apologizes to Donovan for what she has done.


    ??? : “I’m so sorry, the last thing I remembered is that my superior complimented me but after closing the door, I fainted and appeared here…”


    Donovan: “I already know who he is, and I’m figuring out what is his goal right now.”


    ???: “You… do you know him??”


    She asked in a delicate, timid tone as if begging for her life.


    Donovan: “There’s context, and a horrendous one… By the way, what’s your name?”


    ???: “Aeris, Aeris Juno.”


    Donovan: “From now on, I want you to quit your current job.”


    Aeris: “This is the only job I have, if I quit, I won’t be able to feed my family.”


    Aeris replies with a preoccupied tone, like drowning in an endless situation


    Donovan: “Don’t worry, I’m going to cover the taxes, food, comfort and safety.”


    Aeris appreciates with emotion, feeling relieved that someone for the first time in 6 years, came back to help her. Before leaving they saw what they caused.


    Donovan: “Yeah… we should fix this.”


    The protagonist activated his dangerous ability to nullify all the destroyed stuff, leading to no evidence like nothing happened.


    —Donovan and Aeris left the school—


    As they walked to Donovan''s house, Aeris asks him how he knows his superior (Hjalmer)


    Aeris: “So, terminator guy… How the hell do you know my superior?”


    Donovan: “Ah kiddo, a long story that seemed to be rosy but turned macabre.”


    Aeris: “… Why do you sound like an old man who was about to tell a crazy history?” she says with a uninterested tone.


    Donovan: "Eh I don’t know, just trying to let the tension go. And I''m just some years older than you...I guess? Anyway, like I mentioned before, Hjalmer and I connected so well that at the age of seven, we were best friends. We used to argue as well as talk about a wide range of topics. But I also saw that he occasionally showed strange behaviors, and these days, he seems to like torturing and murdering people."


    Aeris stays silent like she is hiding something from him.


    Donovan: “Aeris, is there something wrong?”


    Aeris clenches her fist and begins to regret meeting Hjalmer for what he has done to her.


    Aeris: “He is the reason why I’m like this… A meaningless human that just kills people to earn money for my family.”


    She stayed determined and strong but couldn’t hold her sadness and frustration back so she started crying for the traumas she’s been through. Donovan holds her tightly.


    Donovan: “Let all that pressure go, I’m someone you can trust because from now on, I’ll prove it.” Aeris hugs him tightly and cries into his chest, trusting in his loyalty.


    Aeris: "My father and I had to work hard every day to make ends meet when our family went bankrupt. Sadly, he failed by taking out an amount of money from some pals who later turned on him and murdered him. I met Hjlamer, who welcomed me into his company and at first appeared like a good friend. But since I was thought to be weak, he later mentally manipulated me and even physically tormented me…”


    Aeris then regrets telling him what happened to her, thinking that Donovan would laugh at her and abandon her. Donovan created an impenetrable barrier that activates when there is danger.


    Donovan: "This barrier will protect you, and you''re strong, right? You''ve survived and fought for your family, even if it meant doing things others couldn''t. You''re incredibly brave, don''t let anyone manipulate you. You know yourself better than anyone.”


    Donovan comforts Aeris by wiping away her tears, and she blushes before quickly resuming their walk as if nothing happened. Donovan doesn''t react and they eventually arrive at his house, both tired from walking. Donovan''s family is planning a trip to England for relaxation. When they knock on the door, Donovan''s older sister greets them, finding it unusual for Donovan to bring a girl home.


    Eleorona (Donovan’s Older Sister): “Ooooh, look who finally achieved the impossible! And well sweetheart, has he been rough or cold to you? He is as cold as ice and silent as empty darkness.” The pale-skinned woman asks in a playful and curious tone as she tenses her golden eyes. Aeris pronounces each word slowly, trying to regain her composure because of what happened a few moments ago.


    Aeris: “No, no haha, he was kind and direct to me, he helped me with something going on…”


    Donovan simply stays silent, waiting for his sister to let them in. Meanwhile, her sister examines Aeris'' intentions with Donovan. After a while of chatting about school, Aeris passed the test of not being a dangerous girl like Eleorona thought. Donovan''s family sees that he brought a girl, and they all rejoiced.


    Eleorona: “So... Don''t you mind introducing yourself?”


    Aeris: “Oh yeah... Sorry… Uhh.. My name is Aeris Juno and I like basketball...”


    The girl feels anxious about how the family of golden eyes stares at her.


    Aeris: “And.. That''s all.. haha...”


    She began to laugh uncomfortably waiting for some answer. Unexpectedly, the whole family got excited, all talking at once trying to tell her that many of them were famous basketball players. This left her somewhat surprised.


    Aeris in his mind: “It looks like I was saved from a murder or something...”


    In her mind, all seemed confusing and curious, but in her facial expression, she acted happy to not have a bad impression.


    Eleorona: “Well sweety, you should be having a competence against me!”


    Donovan: “Eleorona don''t even-”


    Donovan is interrupted by his older sister


    Eleorona: “Awww who is going to stop me from playing against her in a 1v1? Aren''t you bad a basketball because you got tricked in front of the whole family???”


    She then laughs with a humiliating tone. Donovan doesn''t respond, instead, he uses his Jégosgalia to not let his sister move.


    Aeris in her mind: “Did he just immobilized her…? Who or what is this guy?!”


    Eleorona: “Okay dude I''m sorry you don''t have to be like that... Jeez.”


    Donovan forgives her, letting her move once again. Some mumbles between cousins could be heard from some meters. They were talking about how Donovan finally brought a girl to the house.


    Donovan''s mom shouted at them to be silent and hear more about the situation.


    Donovan''s dad: “Yeah our family is kind of noisy… And well, why did you bring this lady, Donovan? You’re gonna marry her?”


    The response got Donovan so frustrated that he used his jégosgalia again, removing his dad’s voice.


    Donovan: “Quit it, please. Sigh, I meet Aeris at school.”


    He didn’t intended to give a detailed explanation of what happened but this just made the family more curious of why he brought her here. He then gives his dad his voice back.


    Donovan’s dad: Champ, I know you’re hiding something. Your right shoulder is twitching a little.


    Donovan: “Haha no, nothing wrong happened she just…”


    Aeris interrupted him explaining the truth.


    Aeris: “Your son told me I was being controlled by my superior because I attacked him… I don’t even know what happened.”


    Eleorona: “Superior?”


    Donovan: “You know the friend I used to hang out with?”


    Eleorona: “Huh?”


    Donovan: “HJLAMER.”


    Eleorona: “Yeah I remember him.”


    It takes her some time to realize that Hjalmer is behind this.


    Eleorona: “Wait, you’re telling me Hjalmer did this to her? WHY IN THE FIRST PLACE?”


    Donovan: “Beats me. Anyways, there’s something I do need to accomplish to save Aeris.”


    Eleorona: “Ok ok ok, hold on a second, you first surprised us with her presence, and now you’re telling me you have to save her? This is not the generic princess and knight falling in love dude.”


    Donovan: “How the hell do you even have a job…”


    The reply got eleorona annoyed


    Donovan’s dad: “Enough, you too.”


    The deep-voiced man spoke with simple but powerful words.


    Donovan: “Yeah, sorry… Well, the thing is that she needs uhh.. She needs support, money and security… That’s because her family is not in good financial conditions so that’s why I’ll do my best to overcome this situation.”


    The whole family didn’t flinch or speak, they understood the situation.


    Donovan’s mom: “You got all of our support.”


    She said, happily.


    Eleorona: “Well then, what are we gonna do?”


    Donovan: “Beats me.”


    Eleorona: “Oh come ON!! YOU’RE THE ONE WHO KNOWS HJALMER MORE THAN ANYONE!”


    Donovan: “Calm down, let me think.”


    As Donovan thinks, other members of the family continue doing their stuff at their rhythm.


    Donovan in his mind: “To start off with, why does Hjalmer want to do all of this? I’m surprised that after some years he decided to show up… But why after 4 years? I guess he wanted to train enough to get me… Hmph, there might be something going on…”


    Eleorona: “Well the so-called brain guy is thinking so… What subject do you like?”


    Eleorona in her mind: “Why the hell am I asking this to her… Jeez, I feel like I’m pressuring her to answer.”


    Aeris: “Well I like literature because you can you know… umm, analyze and insert your emotions in the text.”


    She replied with such naturality that she smiled.


    Eleorona: “Basketball and now literature? Looks like you do have some stuff in common with this family.”


    Aeris: “I guess, but why literature?”


    Eleorona: “Because I’m a singer.” Aeris got so excited she began to jump happily. For every jump, she said only one word.


    Aeris: “Teach. Me. How. To. Sing. PLEASE!!”


    The girl with platinum blue hair replied with such joy that Eleorona understood her eagerness as she laughs.


    Eleorona: “Someday I will, don’t worry.”


    Going back to Donovan’s thoughts, he asked himself a clever question.


    Donovan in his mind: “After he disappeared, where’s Hjalmer now?”


    Donovan: “Sorry for interrupting, you two, but, where’s Hjalmer, Aeris?”


    Aeris: “I-”


    Donovan’s mom interrupts Aeris, offering her a glass of water.


    Aeris: “Thank you so much.”


    Aeris: “Oh- Yeah.. My superior is in Rome, Italy.”


    Donovan: “What.”


    Aeris: “What?”


    Eleorona: “What’s with the what?”


    Donovan: “How the hell did he manage to get there without his parents?”


    Aeris: “I don’t know anything about his parents, he never told me anything about them…”


    Eleorona in her mind: “I’m really curious of what actually happened to this dude.”


    Donovan: “To begin with, why is he in Italy?”


    Aeris: “Gang, uhhh, drugs, explosions here and there.”


    Donovan: “Eh, fair enough, I had the expectation that he would turn into something like that.”


    Eleorona: “Huh?! Why?! I thought he was all nice and had a positive mind!”


    Eleorona got even more curious of who is Hjalmer.


    Donovan: “Eh, he got obsessed with changing the world and blah blah blah… But not in a good way, I guess. If he has done this to Aeris then he’s planning something unnatural.”


    He replies as he starts walking to the door.


    Donovan’s dad: “You’re leaving already son? Come on you have to join the family meeting.”


    His dad begged him to stay a little longer after leaving. Donovan sighs with an uninterested desire wanting to finish things already.


    Donovan: “Fine.”


    After some minutes, the protagonist remembers that he has something to do.


    Donovan: “Well yeah I never thought that guy would become that smart, mom…”


    Donovan in his mind: “Shoot, If I don’t do anything about this then somehow Hjalmer will do something horrendous.”


    Donovan: “It was amazing to spend a good time with my family, anyway, I''m going to Italy.


    The parents and cousins were surprised by the comment.


    Eleorona: "Wait, wait, YOU''RE LEAVING JUST LIKE THAT?!"


    Eleorona grabs him by the shoulders.


    Donovan: "Hey no, you''re coming with me."


    Eleorona remains silent, looking at him as if she wants to kill him.


    Eleorona: "I have to go?! You know I have a lot of things to do."


    Donovan raises his eyebrow to insinuate that it''s a lie.


    Donovan: "Well? What do you have to do?"


    Eleorona: "You know, the usual, singing."


    When she finishes speaking, she leaves a fake smile to look good with Donovan


    Donovan: “We both know you took a break from that.”


    The teenager got serious, grabbing her sister’s and aeris’ wrists to go with him.


    Eleorona: “Dude, what are you doing?!” Donovan: “I need you for this mission” Eleorona: “What?! Mission?!”


    Eleorona tried to remove her arm from her brother''s grip, but her great strength prevented her from doing so. On the other hand, Aeris got carried away as she felt she had to do something about it.


    Aeris in her mind: “I believe I should do something about this… My heart is telling me to stand up for myself.”


    Aeris: “Don’t fight it, just… Come with us, please.”


    Aeris'' words were enough to tell Eleorona to stop. Even Eleorona felt that she was urgently asking for help.


    Donovan in his mind: "I almost forgot... clothes for the trip."


    Donovan lets go of Eleorona


    Donovan: "Go get your stuff."


    The boy turns his head in his sister''s direction, looking at her coldly.


    Eleorona in his mind: "What... Is it happening to you? And why do my hands tremble?! Ugh, I''d better do what he says."


    The young woman with golden eyes rushes to her room, surprising her parents.


    Donovan''s Mom: "Dov, what''s wrong?"


    The worried mother feels a burning in her son, a spark that is slowly igniting.


    Donovan: "I have to settle scores."


    A simple sentence was enough to imply the decision her son made, the mother nodded her head proudly.


    Aeris: "Hey, my house is 30 minutes from here and... I don''t know if we will be able to go and get clothes for me..."


    Aeris looks at him with concern.


    Donovan in his mind: "I don''t want to ask her this but I have to make sure she''s okay..."


    Donovan: "Well um, does your mom know you work for Hjalmer?"


    The question leaves her in absolute silence, putting tension on whether to answer her honestly or not.


    Aeris in her mind: "If I tell him about what Hjalmer has done to me… He might kill him? I’m unsure, this guy releases a dangerous presence. I want to avoid trouble..."


    Aeris: "Uh yeah, she knows."


    To mask the lie, Aeris fakes a confident look at her responsibilities. Donovan changes his expression to a calmer one and takes a deep breath.


    Donovan: "I see... So let''s go."


    Aeris in his mind: "I hope he realizes this..."


    Aeris: "Yes."


    Donovan: "Eleorona! Are you ready?! We''re leaving!"


    Eleorona hears her younger brother''s voice, getting annoyed at the little time he gave her to pack.


    Eleorona: "I''m coming Idiot, just give me a second!"


    Donovan: "Anyway, I''ll explain the plan when we''re on the plane."


    Eleorona leaves with her things desperately packed.


    Eleorona: "I''m ready!”


    The young woman with golden eyes remains silent but furious about what her brother is planning, as she holds her fist tight.


    Donovan: “Aeris, you said he has a… Organization?”


    Aeris: “Well, yeah”


    Aeris shrugs her shoulders.


    Donovan in his mind: “This dude is 17 years old and has an organization… What the hell is wrong with this sadistic blue-haired guy?”


    Donovan: “Anyways, what does his gang do? Is he the typical mafioso who sells drugs or what?”


    Donovan’s tone of voice became more curious about how absurd Hjalmer’s change was.


    Aeris: "The only thing I know is that yes, they sell drugs and weapons..."


    Donovan''s question to Aeris did leave her thinking a lot.


    Aeris in her mind: "I feel like... It may be that my boss is doing something more macabre.”


    Eleorona interrumpts them and asks if they’re going to start moving. Eleorona: “Can we please talk about that later?”


    Aeris: “You’re right… Let’s go now.”


    Donovan’s Mom: “Both of you, take care.”


    Eleorona and Donovan nod their head, responding to Mom’s comment. They walked towards the door and followed Aeris.


    Eleorona: “Why are we following Aeris in the first place?”


    Donovan: “Communication.”


    The young woman raised her eyebrow as she repeated herself once again.


    Eleorona: “Be more specific, dumb-dumb.”


    Donovan: “Aeris will tell his mother that he will go to Italy to talk to Hjalmer”


    Eleorona is shocked, not even knowing that the mother knows about Hjalmer''s existence.


    Eleorona: "Wait, wait... Does Aeris'' mother know about Hjalmer?!"


    Donovan nods his head answering his question.


    Eleorona: "And do she know he''s a mafioso...?"


    Donovan: "Yes."


    Eleorona fixes her gaze on Aeris.


    Eleorona: "Are you sure your mom trusts you?!"


    Aeris stops walking, looking down, clenching her fist.


    Aeris: "I have been sacrificing my energy for years so that my family can support itself, if I have to rebel against my superior, then I will take that burning flame and emit it rigorously."


    The motivational words made the brothers feel a macabre psyfield coming from the silver-blue-haired girl.


    Donovan in his mind: "Something tells me that Aeris is the one who will become dangerous if her life is taken...."


    Aeris put her forehead up and kept walking, Donovan smiled slightly and followed her.


    Donovan: "Let''s continue."


    Eleorona also follows suit. After 4 minutes, Eleorona feels too lazy to walk, remembering her younger brother''s chaotic jégosgalia.


    Eleorona in her mind: "Now that I remember, my brother has a huge imagination... Hahaha, I have an idea."


    Eleorona: "Oh, Donovan, your sister is feeling very overwhelmed and pale, would you do me the favor of creating a car for me?"


    The golden-eyed young woman expresses with a tone of urgent help.


    Donovan: "If you''re pale already, what are you talking about?"


    The comment changed the girl''s expression to a disappointed face.


    Eleorona: "From our house to Aeris''s it''s 25 minutes, right?"


    Donovan: "30 minutes."


    Eleorona: "The same thing."


    Donovan: "5 minutes apart."


    Eleorona: "I SAID IT''S THE SAME THING."


    Eleorona raises her voice to be clear and Aeris interrupts them.


    Aeris: "It''s a 30-minute walk, do you have anything in mind?"


    Donovan: "Eleorona wants to abuse me because she knows I can create things."


    Aeris: "Create.. stuff?! Not that your jégosgalia was to immobilize people?!"


    Donovan: "No? Anyway, so that it is not bothering, I will create the car."


    Donovan extends his arm, thus calling the name of his jégosgalia.


    Donovan: "God''s Rend."


    Golden particles appear in the form of a whirlwind when creating a Toyota Hilux.


    Aeris is shocked by the existence of such a power.


    Eleorona: "Well, time to drive!"


    The siblings get into the car, while Aeris is still in shock.


    Donovan: "You stand there and go where the wind takes you."


    Aeris reacts and enters quickly.


    Eleorona: "Well, where do you live?"


    Aeris: "The Center of the Sun Goddess"


    Eleorona in her mind: "That place... Isn''t it abandoned?"


    Eleorona almost blurts out a word, but Aeris doesn''t question and they give their trip.


    7:21 P.M. They arrived at the house.


    The house lost its outstanding color, yellow. The paint was too dry to peel, and the ceiling was a little worn out like Aeris'' mental health. The windows, some broken and others in good condition, the grass not being cut for years, evidencing the long time that has passed since the loss of Aeris'' father. The atmosphere felt uncomfortable and unsafe, giving the impression that Eleorona felt that they could be assaulted at any moment. The wooden door opens with a prolonged creak. Eleorona is frightened and hides behind Donovan, however, she remembers that she has powers.


    Eleorona in her mind: "Wait... I have powers... AND WHY AM I SCARED?!"


    An aura of confused and bitter feelings abound in the house, and so, Aeris'' mother makes her presence.


    Aeris'' mother: "Good evening... Do you need anything?"


    The low, slow tone more or less hints at where Aeris''s way of speaking comes from.


    The mother takes a few steps forward to check those who are looking for something from her.


    She sees her daughter, with a happy face and she slowly runs to her daughter to hug her.


    Aeris'' mother: "Oh my girl, why are you coming at this time?"


    Aeris: "Well... I''m going to Italy to talk to my superior."


    Aeris'' mother: (Whispering) "Who are they? Are they related to Mr. Drameus?"


    Donovan: "Yes... Ehhh.."


    Aeris'' mother knew that Donovan wanted to confirm by naming her.


    Aeris'' mother: "Oh please, you can call me Doctor Juno."


    Donovan: "Are you a doctor?"


    Dr. Juno: "Of course! I attend at the Crimson Fire hospital."


    Donovan: "Ah.. I see, well, excuse me for leaving our talk so short, but we announce that Aeris will be with us for a few days... Doesn''t it bother you?”


    Doctor Juno simply laughs, covering her mouth.


    Dr. Juno: "Hahahaha! I would appreciate it very much if you took it on a trip... She doesn''t leave the house so much unless it''s her job. May I ask, for how long you guys will be there?”


    Donovan: “For some days. Aeris should get everything for her traveling.”


    Aeris: “W-What?! Dude how-”


    Dr. Juno: “Oh come on, I’ll help you with that.”


    Aeris: “Thanks a lot…”


    Aeris and her mother go inside to get her clothes, hygiene products, and books for her traveling.”


    After 10 minutes Aeris is now ready with all of her stuff.


    Donovan: “Damn that was fast.”


    Eleorona: "By the way, how will we keep in touch?"


    Dr. Juno: "We can share the Dvasinis Nexus or communicate by cell phone. What do you prefer?"


    Aeris: "I say by cell phone."


    Donovan & Eleorona: "I say the same."


    The Doctor gives them her number to report inconveniences or share information.


    Dr. Juno: "Well, here it is. Remember to take care of Aeris and read her a book with her stuffed animal-"


    The doctor is interrupted by her daughter''s scream.


    Aeris: "MOM!! ENOUGH!!"


    Aeris embarrasses himself, changing the metal shape of the lamp posts.


    Dr. Juno: "All right all right, I''ll stop teasing you."


    Dr. Juno: "Anyway, good luck on your journey."


    Eleorona: "Thank you very much, we count on your support."


    Dr. Juno: "Well, I''m saying goodbye, I have to take care of Aeris'' younger sister."


    Donovan: "Good luck, take care of yourself."


    Dr. Juno says goodbye by raising his hand and moving it from side to side as he walks to his door.


    Eleorona: "Time to go.”


    Donovan created a plan to go to Italy and infiltrate as fake hitmen to counterattack Hjalmer and make him reconsider what he has done. For some context, Aeris was already in Italy weeks before this day. Luckily, Aeris’ salary was enough to make her travel from country to country. She was assigned to take a look at Donovan and gain his information. Hjalmer used his JégosGalia, heating the office and eventually making Aeris faint when she was about to leave. The blue-haired boss attached a hidden camera to Aeris'' clothes so he could see what was happening. Ever since Aeris became aware, the jégosgalia of one of his hitmen was deactivated on his own for unknown reasons.


    Hjalmer: “Ah, Donovan, my regret that I didn''t kill you in that fight fills me with frustration, but it''s good that you''re coming to visit your old best friend…”


    Hjalmer activates maximum security in his organization so that they do not gain access and thus, Hjalmer will be able to make a surprise attack.


    After some hours, Eleorona, Aeris, and Donovan went to the airport to travel to Italy, they took their comfy seats… A strange smell, as if something was burning. It was the engine, the passengers panicked thinking it would be their last day of life. The protagonists immediately acted, Aeris and Eleorona told all the passengers to stay with them because they emitted their jegosgalia through their powerful psyfield. Meanwhile, Donovan confronted the enemy attack, one of Hjalmer''s enforcers who possessed pyrokinesis.


    Donovan: “My patience is fading more and more, but my years have been boring, so let''s see what you have to give me, hitman.” The hitman grins and creates shockwaves with his fire whips, Donovan simply locks the hitman in an area where he lacks oxygen.


    Donovan (In his mind): “All right I’m starting to get headaches… I have to finish this quickly”


    The hitman starts coughing desperately for oxygen as he tries to escape the no-oxygen area. Donovan interrogates the hitman asking if hjalmer knows about the current situation. The hitman acts innocent lying that he doesn’t know anything, only that he was sent to stop Ivanel. Donovan knew the hitman was lying because of how exaggerated his tone of voice sounded.


    Donovan: “Answer me or else I’m going to erase you from existence.”


    Hitman: “Fin..e.. But please let…me… g-go…”


    Donovan erases the zone letting the guy speak. While Eleorona and Aeris were falling at a high speed. To protect the passengers, Aeris utilized her skills to stabilize and connect the rifle''s damaged section. Eleorona, meantime, made an ice platform to sit above the aircraft and have a better look. She used electricity to slow the plane''s fall and make a safe landing. Eleorona confirmed the successful landing by sending Donovan a message through Dvasinis Nexus. Donovan flew to where the others were, and got necessary the details to finish off the organization. The 3 were tasked with repairing the plane, Donovan retrieving the remaining tools for the plane, and Aeris finding a more resistible metal for the exterior and interior of the plane. After resolving the recurring problem, they resumed their flight and arrived safely in Italy.


    <h2>11:45 P.M.</h2>


    When they landed at Palermo airport, Eleorona said she knew a friend who lived in Italy, so he came to pick them up. The transmission of the camera carried by Aeris was cut off, as in the trouble it was destroyed by the large concentration of metallokinesis that she carried. Aeris threw the camera into the ocean, and by a stroke of luck, Hjalmer was training, which made the trip peaceful with no hitmen. Eleorona introduced her business friend, Lawrence.


    Eleorona: “Guys, this is Lawrence, it''s a business friend who I contacted to give us lodging and help us with our mission, be kind to him.”


    Lawrence: “Welcome to Italy.”


    Donovan & Aeris: “Nice to meet you.” they both exchanged a handshake with Lawrence.


    —2 hours later...—


    Hjalmer returned to his office and noticed that his hitman had not returned... He knew then that he failed his mission to stop Donovan, no, rather, he was stupid enough to know that 1 hitman was not enough.


    Hjalmer: “Tsk, how could I forget the stupidly powerful JégosGalia.”


    Hjalmer is frustrated by his poor decision and destroys his entire office within seconds. The anger disappeared, his mind cleared, and he began to plan for hours.


    In the morning at 7:26 A.M. Aeris acted on instinct and activated her ability leaving a hole in the wall because of the nightmare she had, the abuse caused by Hjalmer. Her traumas were deepening for the worst…


    The protagonists wanted to finish their goal quickly, they wanted to live their lives in peace and reason with Hjalmer, so they trained for hours to improve their Jégosgalia. Meanwhile, Hjalmer had 3 options:


    Go straight to them on his own.


    Wait for them to arrive to seal them all.


    Run them off with their strongest hitmen.


    Hjalmer rearranged his plan, starting off with waiting for them to enter their organization, then pretending he doesn''t have any hitmen to trick them, thinking Hjalmer is all alone, lying that his hitmen died in previous events to then, seal them all, especially Donovan.


    <h2>3:36 P.M.</h2>


    The protagonists were ready to head to the organization, for now, all seemed normal because Hjalmer would’ve attacked them since he got a lot of technology in Italy. In a couple of minutes, they arrived at his organization. Lawrence activated his Quantum Shift, and for the first one he had to infiltrate, he did it successfully, he was able to store 4 identities by knocking out the hitmen with ease. While at the most unexpected time, did Aeris have to relieve herself in a situation like this?!


    Aeris: “Very unexpected this but... The bathroom calls me..”


    Aeris just stares at the Ivanel brothers as if they have to help her.


    Donovan & Eleorona: “You must be kidding.”


    Their voices synchronized, making their surprised tone stand out. Donovan''s patience was slowly waning, and he activated his jegosgalia and created a room with the tools needed for a proper bathroom. Aeris sprinted to the bathroom… A minute later a wounded hitman appeared in front of the protagonists, in reality, it was Lawrence who warned them that there is dangerous JégosGalia.


    Eleorona: "Here we go with the stress...”


    Eleorona activates her Glacial Voltage: Flashy Storm.


    Donovan: “You shouldn’t be using it, it’s unnecessary.”


    Eleorona: “You didn''t have to make that comment, I just want to end the pugilist of our past life, besides, just knowing that he is still present, terrifies me.”


    Eleorona speaks with long pauses as if she is going to faint from her craving to kill Hjalmer.


    Lawrence changed her appearance to stealth. They sprinted straight to the building


    Donovan: "Oh, I forgot, Aeris."


    Donovan knocks on the door and tells Aeris to hurry up.


    Aeris: "OKAY JUST YOU WAIT FOR ME BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT HASN''T COME OUT" Aeris raises her voice with a desperate tone because she can''t believe that she’s doing this in the middle of a mission.


    Donovan: (Covering his forehead) "Oh my God, you have a lot of trust in me... Well, I''ll wait for you."


    Donovan keeps an eye on his surroundings just in case.


    Donovan in his mind: “But in the middle of a mission? What did she eat?”


    Some hours ago…

    Lawrence: “Well guys, I’ve baked my special cinnamon rolls, please, enjoy.”


    The guests (The Ivanel siblings & Aeris) seemed excited for how well Lawrence baked, the cinnamon rolls had a tasty appearance that anyone could drool and barely resist the temptations. Aeris was the first one to grab a cinnamon roll, she hadn’t ate anything sugary in a week. While the siblings only grabbed 3 cinnamon rolls, Aeris ate the rest, which was 10 cinnamon rolls.


    Aeris: “Lawrence you should teach me how to bake these glorious cinnamon rolls, in fact, you should open a bakery!”


    Aeris told that to Lawrence in a happy tone.

    While Donovan was with Aeris, Eleorona, and Lawrence had a BIG struggle… A towering hitman stood in the brightly lighted hallway, his body tensed with expectancy. As he got ready to take on Eleorona and Lawrence, he studied the area with his sharp vision, analyzing the situation. Eleorona unleashed her powerful JégosGalia, a flickering electric force manifestation of Forcemight, as the battle got underway. She unleashed a burst of energy in the direction of the hitman, hoping to shock him and take the fight to his level. The electric glacier rushed ahead, crackling and sending a blinding blue light across the hallway.


    His reflexes increased as the electric charge rushed in his direction. He dodged the upcoming blow with lightning-fast agility, shifting and twisting at an incredible rate of speed. Behind him, the electrified glacier impacted the earth, cracking the ground and launching sparks into the air.


    The hitman was not disappointed by Eleorona''s opening attack, and he quickly made up ground on his opponents. He struck out quickly at Eleorona and Lawrence, his powerful muscles rippling with strength. His moves were deliberate and accurate. In the tough 2 vs 1 combat, every punch was thrown precisely to take advantage of any vulnerability and gain the upper hand.


    Eleorona: “Why am I not surprised by the tenacity of this juggernaut guy… Tsk.”


    Eleorona comments with a disappointed tone.


    Even with Eleorona''s remarkable Force might skills and Lawrence''s strategic aptitude, they were confronted with challenges from the hitman''s extraordinary agility and skill. The three fighters were locked in a bloody struggle for domination in the dark battlefield, and the hallway was filled with the sounds of clashing forces and vibrating energy.


    The competition between strategy, power, and talent becomes a rain of blood created by the thirst for survival. The hitman made a feint deceiving the two, hitting them in the stomach spat blood, and sent them flying, crashing into the walls. Every movement is the approach to the extreme tiredness of an eternal battle... The body tenses more and more slowly, to the point that the bodies of Eleorona and Lawrence can''t handle the unimaginable pain anymore. Before fainting, Eleorona sends a message through the Dvasinis Nexus to Donovan.


    Eleorona through Dvasinis Nexus: “Dov, we lost… against the enem..y… Hurry up and defeat him….”


    His skin goes goosebumps, knowing that her sister is one of the strongest fighters in all of Russia and Croatia, how could it be that she would be defeated in a couple of minutes?


    Donovan: “Aeris, hurry up we got no time left.” Aeris: “Yeah! I’m done give me some seconds.”


    Aeris washes her hands and activates her JégosGalia to get ready to fight. The two enter the building, they see the poor state of the place as if the fury of a lion was replicated to the edges of the building. Above, they see Eleorona and Lawrence on the ground wounded by a giant hitman, with defined proportions.


    Donovan: “It’s interesting how Hjalmer hired weird but strong people…”


    The hitman ran to the wounded protagonists as he was about to demolish them!


    Hitman: “??!!”


    Donovan leaped at the velocity of a bullet, doing a sharp drill kick… But the hitman’s skin was too rough and durable enough to not feel a thing.


    Donovan: “I guess that going with the traditional method is safer… For now.” Donovan activated his JégosGalia to gain quintuple agility. As Donovan warms up by bouncing in a singular place, the hitman throws a jab that pierces the silent wind in just about 500 milliseconds. Predictable. Donovan dodges the punch and hits the juggernaut hitman with an accelerated & devastating overhand of 535 Kilogram-Force. The blow makes a sound of a shotgun. Donovan is starting to feel good about fighting for the first time in years... It will be that this time he can improve his God''s Rend.


    Donovan: “I’m going to enjoy every second of this fight…”


    Donovan expresses his excitement and crushes the hitman’s arm by twisting it into a helix shape.


    The painful and agonizing cry from his lips resounded like a lion’s roar. The tall hitman fell back, his intimidating form shifted for a minute on the dirty surface. Even with all that pain shooting through him, his strong mentality maintained a solid position, calming himself quickly.


    The hitman moved like flashes of light, throwing rapid punches of a beautiful boxing combination. His left looked telegraphed, landing precise blows with force and accuracy. Every blow made him attempt to take out his opponent and alter the pattern of the fight, putting in all of his efforts.


    However Donovan, as the smart teenager he is, discovered a gap and took advantage of it to get the better of him. He struck the hitman’s claves with a perfect-timed motion, delivering a fast unexpected blow, sending him backward. Donovan’s punch weight went through all the hitman’s body, throwing him against the next wall.


    Even more of an unexpected turn came from Donovan as the hitman tried to regain his balance. He reached out and pulled screws from the air, their metallic objects glittering menacingly as they materialized. With a sudden burst of strength and clever Donovan directed the screws to circle around the hitman, pinning him to the wall in a way similar to a crucifixion.


    The hitman was stuck, his movements limited by the screws holding him in place, and his muscles tightened. Despite the situation, he had a ferocious resolve in his eyes that demonstrated his tenacity and refusal to give up in the face of difficulty.


    The noises of the fierce struggle, the clashing of metal, and the fighters'' breathing difficulties filled the slim space, creating a tense environment. The hitman was fighting against the limitations placed on him by Donovan''s ingenious strategies, and every second of the fight was filled with suspense and anxiety over how it would turn out. Aeris just stood there, watching two lions fighting to see who was worth the throne.


    Donovan: “Sigh… 2 Minutes were enough for me to defeat this guy, at least, it was fun… Now, time to heal these guys.”


    Donovan is shocked to see the wounds, both of which were precisely marked with a circle and an X. The silence becomes the most noticeable thing in the place, the wind only accompanies the melody of a twisted moment.


    Aeris: "Donovan, what''s going on?"


    Aeris only looks at Donovan with a lot of concern, as she doesn''t understand the meaning of the circle with the X.


    Donovan heals Eleorona and Lawrence but suddenly, a twisted but nostalgic Dvasinis nexus comes into contact with Donovan''s Dvasinis... It was Hjalmer.


    Hjalmer through the Dvasinis Nexus: “It’s been years best friend… You know? I missed you a lot, I miss the times of we shared philosophies and practiced martial arts, it was fun, you know… However, my emotions are telling me to hurry THE FUCK UP AND KILL YOUR COWARD ASS.”


    The Dvasinis nexus disconnected from the Dvasinis Link. Donovan sighed knowing that he didn''t want to deal with all this, but he had to stop Hjalmer''s selfishness.


    The depressing lighting in the corridor created extended shadows that gave the impression that a predator was waiting to devour its prey, with a frightening and quiet atmosphere. Every step resonated loudly, creating the impression that someone was observing from the shadows. Dust was floating in the air. The doors all seemed to hide something risky, and the walls themselves seemed ancient. This depressing passageway had a tense atmosphere, suggesting that a disaster may strike at any time. The predator appears empty-handed as if it were seen without the intention of attacking. Hjalmer appears stained with blood... Could it be he has committed something unexpected in his building?


    Hjalmer: “How’s your day, kiddo?”


    Donovan: “Meaningless.”


    Hjalmer grins knowing he’s in front of his best friend.


    Hjalmer: “That… right there, is the Donovan I know” Hjalmer claps his hands, as he cheers Donovan up. Hjalmer: “Welcome to your show, Dread Savant. The show now… begins.”
