《Bloody Wonderland》
Act 1-1 The Day Before Christmas Eve.
December 24th, 2014
The worst day of my life.
no no, i bet you are all thinking that ¡°just ¡®cause you don''t have a lover.....you cant really call it the worst, right?¡±
well, that¡¯s part of the reason!
although, i think you pretty much hit home. but, you cant expect that''s all there is to it, right?
its not only the worst day for singles, but its also the day where i have met with fate.
some call it destiny, but it is nothing but gears set in place since the beginning of time.
on that fateful day, the gears began to spin.
the gears of fate.
well then, shall we see for ourselves how that came about?
***
Shindou Light.
A highschool drop out and a shut-in
age: 18 years old
longest relationship: 0 years, 0 months and 0 days
basically, single for life.
Today, the 23rd of December 2014, is the day i finally leave my room after two years.
well, my story isn''t that special. as for the reason why i¡¯ve became a shut-in is probably because of bullying....
ran away.
that''s probably the word best to describe me.
a coward.
that''s my personality....
but everything is going to change today!
Today, i shall change my lifestyle!
i bet you wont believe me but i¡¯ll still say it, TODAY I SHALL CHANGE MY DESTINY!!!!
now, i expect you to ask how i¡¯m going to do that.
well, its pretty simple.
i''m going to get a girlfriend~!
its a cute girl i met online~~
well, not really a girlfriend but where there''s a will, there''s a way, right?!
so i¡¯ll take control of my destiny and do it!
destiny is within the palm of my hands!
......or at least that''s what i used to think.
leaving my room, i started heading to the station which was the meeting place we agreed on.
of course, all i was wearing was a hoodie, a 10$ jeans and some old shoes
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
now i wonder what you people are thinking?
¡°you are wearing those for a date?!¡±
well, its not a date! -yet~
and whats important is the feeling behind it not the outer appearance!!
hmm?
ohh?
is it just me or are people less here?
even though its supposed to be rush hour....
a little anxious, i continued my way to the station.
just as i reached the station, i saw her.
she was wearing a light blue sweater that went bellow the knees.
it honestly looked like she wasn''t wearing anything under that...
but i wonder?
ohh, no good no good!
she noticed me as i suspiciously stopped in my tracks
damn.....why''s she here......?!
¡°---go¡±
huh?
did i just hear something?
her bright eyes looking through me, she flashed a very bright smile
i wonder why she is showing me that smile....
just as if the chains binding my movement were cut lose, i started walking toward her.
¡°Do-- go¡±
hmm, my head is playing tricks on me....but, i am hearing things nonetheless.....
ehh....?
w-why cant i move....?
no, i am moving but what i mean is.....why cant i move anywhere else than toward her.........?
it¡¯s as if my own body is having its own will
all it did was move toward her
she, which had bright blond hair.
she, who was too beautiful for someone like me.
she, who could be taken as a goddess walking on earth.
she, who ruined my world.
----------------------------------------------------
Author note: if you spot any problem with the spelling and grammar, please point that out.
Act 1-2 Alice
my body wont listen.
no matter how i try to move it, it wont move in any other direction except toward hers.
i do not know how long its been since my body started moving on its own, but as long as its toward her......
then i don''t care!
--is what someone would try to think?
but, what is this feeling?
this feeling of wanting to run away as soon as possible.
its like that of a mouse cornered behind a wall while a hungry snake is glaring at him
is it that? the instinct of the weak?
i don''t know...
if you''re wondering why i''m not screaming, its ¡®cause i cant talk.
i mean, can you really talk here? i don''t really wanna inconvenience someone.....
oh, who am i kidding. no one is even here.......i just don''t want to admit that i''m too flustered to talk.
ahh, while having these useless thoughts, i already reached within 5 meters from her....
what am i going to do?
i really didn''t expect to meet her.....
i really didn''t think i would ever meet her again....
¡°ohh? if it isn''t Light! long time no see!!¡±
¡°H-Hi.......Alice¡±
¡°Really now, i didn''t expect to see you here of all places!!¡±
¡°M-Me too......¡±
ahh, please go away...
i wanna run away....
legs, hurry up an move away!
oblivious to my negative thoughts, Alice began running toward me and started hugging me
i let out a shriek ¡°h-hii¡± loud enough for only me to hear
¡°s-so, what a-are you doing here......Alice....?¡±
Alice flashed a mischievous smile while answering ¡°is the name ¡®Maddhatter¡¯ be familiar?¡±
of course it is!
its my character¡¯s name in the MMO that i''m currently playing!!
not only that, i''m supposed to be meeting the snow witch from that MMO today!!!
¡°or perhaps, the name ¡®Snow Witch¡¯ should also be familiar right?¡±
i gasp at the words being uttered by her mouth, i am in the end, too shocked to even answer.
i just nod and after a couple of seconds, she left my neck and i regained my composure and asked
"H-how do you know that name....?"
¡°but of course! its because i''m that ¡®Snow witch¡¯ ~¡±
h-huh?!
what......the.......hell.........?
w-wait, how were she even able to track me down.......?
if i remember correctly, she was the one who requested my help on that quest.........
starting from then, she kept asking me for help......
to begin with.....wasn''t she the one who set up this date thing.......?!
¡°w-wait Alice?! how did you know that i was playing that game?!?!¡±
if what i''m thinking is right.........isn''t this....that?
like, first crushing my social life, my real life so to say, and then went back to rob me off my paradise?!
raising me hopes, finally getting me out of my room and then.........throw cold water down my back.........?!
i-i wont stand for this.....!
¡°well then, shall we start?¡±
¡°s-start......?¡±
¡°ahh, well y¡¯see, the thing is.........ahh, too much of a pain. anyhow, i''m really thankful for a lot of things Light~
so~
please~
die~!¡±
¡°ehh!?¡±
¡°Snow Witch Alice, battle start!¡±
Alice--the Snow Witch-- suddenly had a staff in her hands.
the staff looked majestic, decorated with all kinds of ruby.....but for some reason, all of them were bright blue.
on the tip of the staff, there was a bright red ruby the size of my palm.
but for some reason, it didn''t look strange at all
Alice, was muttering something that couldn''t reach my ears.
all of a sudden, i had a very bad feeling coming from her direction.
a chill ran down through my spine along side of all the alarms switching on inside of my head.
''something bad is going to happen'' is what every cell within my body is screaming.
no, something bad has already happened.
because, i cant feel my left hand anymore.
¡°a-a-a-a-a-a-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!¡±
seeing my hand--or rather the place it used to be. what took its place is blood, i couldn''t help but to scream.
my left hand, has been cleanly cut, from the shoulder down.
really, it was a clean cut.
in fact, so clean, i couldn''t feel pain from it until i noticed it.
while i was screaming in agony, Alice in the meantime was soaking her staff in the puddle made from my blood.
¡°you know, this rock wasn''t always red~! it actually used to be blue......but from soaking it in blood, it gets
stronger! so yea~ just wait a bit and i¡¯ll finish you off~!¡±
like i give a shit.
give it back....
give it back!
¡°GIVE BACK MY ARM, YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!¡±
i got up and started sprinting toward Alice.
i tackled her down, and started beating her with my remaining fist while pinning down her body with my own weight--or that was the plan.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
before i could even take a single step forward, my lower body has disappeared.
¡°<< Snow Saw. >>¡±
and by disappeared, i mean its ten feet behind me
well, that''s just a guess though.
lying face down, i cursed at her--Alice while my tears are gushing out.
now, as for what happened
just as i stood up, Alice pointed her finger toward me and all that was left was blood
from my stomach and downward, she cut it all
¡°ohh~ even though i gave you a chance to live a few more minutes.......well, you¡¯re dead anywayz~time to go back
and report~!¡±
is.....is that all you¡¯re going to say?
after ruining my life.......making me into a shut in.....is that all.........?
not only that......you even got close to me in my paradise....only to kill me......!
i will not stand for this....
i will curse you in my death!
i¡¯ll curse you so hard, you¡¯ll turn into an ugly pig!!!
don¡¯t underestimate me!!!!
¡°s-shit.....t-this is not happening.......fuck.....i cant see anymore......¡±
¡°wow....you¡¯re still alive........? that''s amazing~! you lost an arm and your lower body y¡¯know! you really are a
cockroach! no wonder you got called that in school~!¡±
shit....i want to see her smug for the last time and burn it in my memory...
but i cant.....i already lost my eyesight.
***
in midst of all that darkness, there was something in middle of it all.
well, it is something.
rather, it was just some floating words....
¦¥¦Ð¦É¦È¦Ô¦Ì¦Å?? ¦Ä?¦Í¦Á¦Ì¦Ç;
err
what language is that....?
all of a sudden, the text went *poof*
¡°ahh.....ahem. do thee desire power?¡±
power.....huh?
of course i want power.....i mean, who doesn''t? after all what happened.
well, this is probably just an illusion instead of that flashback, those you get when you are about to die.
but something told me, or to be more precise, i somehow already knew this was a reality rather than an illusion.
¡°power huh.....well then, if i am getting power then i want enough power to kill that bitch, Alice!¡±
¡°Indeed, you are exactly the man i was looking for. very well, imagine a powerful existence in thee''s life and thee shall gain its power.¡±
something powerful huh....
thinking again, wasn''t Alice using some skills from Wonderland Online?
if that was the case......then i know who i¡¯m supposed to be.
i started imagining the figure i want to become
¡°one last thing before thee leave. thy is now participating in a death game. thee can win but a single wish, or die
trying.¡±
¡°if that was the case, then all the better!¡±
i can kill all those who made my life a living hell....and get a free wish with it!
where can you get a better deal?
***
i woke up, facing down, soaking in my own blood.
and as you might think, i am still missing an arm and a lower body....
but that''s no problem!
i''m still alive.
being alive means there is still a way to fix this.
in fact, i know just the way to do this.
¡° << Time Grasp>> .¡±
as soon as i said those words, my body returned to the state before i ¡®killed¡¯
hmm
this appearance kinda sucks right?
i mean, who will like a fat guy...or even trusts him?
well then, ill use the same skill without any reservation~
¡° << Time Grasp>> !¡±
and with that, i am in the body of my two years earlier me.
i am currently wearing my school¡¯s uniform, which is a blue blazer and some black school jeans. but this is perfect
for getting Alice...i''m going back to school.
now now, no need to be surprised
all i did was manipulate time a bit, and got myself a new, younger body.
now i bet you are all wondering ¡°how the hell did you do all that?! weren¡¯t you dead!?¡±
to answer that, i simply ¡®used¡¯ Madhatter¡¯s powers.
and by Madhatter, i mean my character from Wonderland Online
one of Madhatter¡¯s unique skills is time control.
now then, time to get revenge?
as i was turning my step and heading toward my old school--Saint¡¯s Academy, silver hair flickered in front of me.
a handsome, silver haired, tall man suddenly came before me from nothing. he looked like he''s out of a manga if not for his azure-colored eyes, which looked unmatched with his hair color.
and i''m not sure if i can call it as expected, but as expected he wore the Academy¡¯s uniform, which is similar to the clothes i am currently wearing.
raising my guard, i prepared another skill from Madhatter¡¯s, but what left him was nothing less than a surprise.
¡°Master!¡±
Act 1-3 Is That You, Dorea*on?!
according to the man named Wolf~he¡¯s the one who called me ¡®Master¡¯ out of nowhere is that the academy and all within it are to participate in a game.
and no, not any game.....but a death game.
the one behind it is currently not known but from what i¡¯ve heard the prize is 10 billion yen. but if i trust what that guy in my near-death experience said......then there''s more to this story.
the rules are as follows
1. You are to use whatever in necessary in order to win.
2. You are allowed to gather comrades--only when they are participants of the game itself.
3. There is only but one winner.
in other words, its a no holds barred.
is this thing even legal?
are we fine with killing?
how is even the police or the government allowing this?
i don¡¯t know and i don¡¯t care.
ahh, i forgot to mention one thing that all of you out there might have already realized, all of participants......have super powers.
¡°Hehehehehe....¡±
¡°Master.....?¡±
¡°--hehehehehahahahahahaha! this is truly interesting!! finally....i can exact my revenge without even having to worry about facing the law....! all my worries just flew right out of the window!¡±
"haa......"
¡°So Wolf, who exactly are you?¡±
¡°Ahh~i¡¯m here to watch you play the game. i¡¯m you¡¯re own referee so to say, so that when you kill, we can rank you.¡±
¡°rank me?¡±
¡°Yes! within the school, there¡¯s currently a hologram saying who¡¯s dead and who¡¯s alive while displaying the
rankings within the game ¡±
¡°hmm....does that mean that you¡¯re neutral?¡±
¡°of course! i¡¯m proud of myself for being the fairest of them all!!¡±
¡°Is that so....¡±
¡°So Master, lets head to school!¡±
¡°School? and can you stop with the ¡®master¡¯ this and ¡®master¡¯ that?¡±
¡°No~! i cant stop! i prefer calling master by ¡®master¡¯ because master is ¡®master¡¯.¡±
¡°do what you want. so anyhow, what about school? you do realize its already--¡±
i take a look at the watch i got in my hand
¡°--past 7pm, right?¡±
¡°No need to worry, Master! the school is now a boarding school so you can get there just fine!¡±
¡°What abou--¡±
¡°You already have a room reserved for you, and all of your stuff has already been transferred there!¡±
¡°...........¡±
ohh?
what¡¯s he doing?
what the hell is he doing??
wait....did he just insert his whole hand into his chest pocket?
¡°Not this.....no not this either.......no that either........! just where is it....?¡±
ah...
there goes a pocket watch.....a mobile phone.....and is that a girl¡¯s bra.....?
¡°what the hell....? are you freaking robotic cat.....?¡±
¡°ofufu~ you¡¯re quite sharp. anyhow, here it is!¡±
he takes out something that looks like..............a hula hoop?
¡°Wait, how the hell did you get that out of that ?¡±
¡°a magician cant exactly reveal their tricks now can they?¡±
............
shit, i''m getting mixed up with his pace......this isn''t good at all.
hmm....?
what¡¯s he up to now?
¡°whoa-! what¡¯re you doing!¡±
Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.he suddenly went behind my back and grabbed me by my shoulders
¡°s-stop pushing!¡±
dammit....he¡¯s starting to push me toward the hula hoop
¡°is there anything special about this metallic hula hoop?!¡±
¡°ohh, there is! you¡¯ll be in for a surprise so please step in!!¡±
as soon as i stepped in, he stepped along with me and began talking like a safety instructions broadcast before riding a roller coaster.
¡°well then, Head¡¯s in! Keep your arms on your body at alltimes and lastly, Do not ever, everget a single part of your body outside the hoop or ya¡¯ll get that part chopped off cleanly~!¡±
¡°wait....what?!¡±
"<< ?¦Ö¦Ø ¦Æ¦Ç¦Ó?¦Ò¦Å¦É ¦Á¦Ð? ¦Ó¦Á ¦Ð¦Í¦Å?¦Ì¦Á¦Ó¦Á ¦Í¦Á ¦Ì¦Ï¦Ô ¦Ä¦Á¦Í¦Å?¦Ò¦Ï¦Ô¦Í ¦Ó¦Ç ¦Ä?¦Í¦Á¦Ì? ¦Ó¦Ï¦Ô?~"
while he was chanting, blue blinding lights came out from the center of the hoop......where we''re currently standing.
¡°W-wai~¡±
"~¦¬¦Å¦Ó¦Á¦Õ¦Ï¦Ñ?!>>"
-RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!
-BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
ahhhhh!!!!
what is this!!
my ears are killing me.....!
<>
phew, now that''s better.
just....where am i......?
i am surrounded by darkness.....yet i can still see.
just what the hell?
¡°Oi Wolf, where is this?¡±
¡°Ahh~i¡¯d be really grateful if you can wait for a bit! we¡¯re currently being transferred to the academy!¡±
¡°ahh....is this what they call a portal...?¡±
¡°yes!¡±
¡°let me ask this again Wolf.....are you sure you¡¯re not a robotic cat from the future....?¡±
¡°ahaha~of course not!¡±
ahh, just in case, i''m going to explain what i used the skill for
i used <> in order to reverse my body¡¯s state to that before the transfer while in that state instantly
froze my time....so yeah.
¡°Anyhow Master, how are you able to withstand the pressure? i mean, its enough to crush your ears if you¡¯re a first timer~!¡±
¡°You wont trick me into revealing my skills, Wolf.¡±
¡°waah~i got found out~!¡±
¡°Anyhow, when are we going to arrive? we¡¯ve been here for about~¡±
i check my watch again
¡°~right.¡±
my watch¡¯s clock''s hands refuse to move.
haha....
as it seems, everything i touch also comes within the range of my ability.......sounds fun!
¡°Ahaha~ well it¡¯s because this isn''t like games.....we cant exactly instant teleport but~!¡±
the scenery changed almost as he was commanding it
¡°~we¡¯re here!¡±
¡°My current location.......is a room.¡±
¡°Yes! you¡¯re sharper than you look, Master~¡±
¡°stop making fun of me.¡±
¡°Ahh~¡±
Wolf totters to a door to my left and opens it
¡°Here¡¯re your stuff~¡±
and while he was saying that, i took a look inside the room and......all of my stuff were in there.
including my bed....
just what happened within the two years i wasn''t here..........?
oblivious to what i was thinking, Wolf continues
¡°Welcome back to Saint¡¯s Academy, Master Light!¡±
what awaited beyond that point was a messy room and a homosexual advances by a certain butler-like person, but that''s a story for another day.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Author Note: I am not planning on writting a Yaoi/BL~!
Act 1-4 My First Official Death Match
Date 24th December 2014 Name Shindou Light Rank 371
¡°What the fuck is this?¡±
As i was saying that, my blanket~or to be more precise, the area around my legs as a whole began moving
¡°.........?¡±
¡°Didn¡¯t i tell you before? that''s the hologram that tells ya everything going around here~¡±
¡°Woah~! Jesus! why from there you homosexual bastard?!¡±
¡°I¡¯m not Homo~! and i have nowhere else to sleep in....¡±
¡°Then tell me from the first place! if that was the case, i would¡¯ve offered you the floo~¡±
¡°~NO! i want to sleep next to master, and master alone~!¡±
¡°Well i don''t!¡±
¡°Jeez~ Master is such a tease. so as i was saying, that''s the hologram i mentioned yesterday. not to mention, it gets everything from who¡¯s alive, dead and the ranks~! ohh and before i forget, there¡¯re also official matches going around beside the sneak attacks, and you are forced to take part in those official matches! by the way, you got one today~¡±
¡°ohh.......?¡±
Time 12:00 Details Shindou Light VS. Amagi Michiru
¡°Amagi.....Michiru.......¡±
¡°hmm.....know her, Master?¡±
¡°.........I guess.¡±
i flashed a smile while saying that
¡°By the way Master, its already eleven thirty y¡¯know~¡±
¡°Wha~?! if you knew i had a match today, wake me up earlier~!¡±
I jumped off of the bed in a hurry and began changing into the uniform
¡°Fufufu~ Master, i see that you¡¯re in such a good mood.....but you shouldn''t underestimate the students of this school....or else you¡¯ll pay with your life.¡±
¡°Said something?¡±
¡°Nope~¡±
***
¡°Oii~ Michiru~! Are you ready for your match?¡±
¡°Yup!¡±
i answered while adjusting the leather glove i''m wearing
¡°so do you know who you¡¯re up against?¡±
¡°uhh....nope! teehee~¡±
¡°You idiot!¡±
¡°Ouch! why hit me in the head, Nii-sama?!¡±
¡°Because Michiru, you could at least see who you¡¯re up against.....even if you can win, courtesy is a must! you have to at least know the name of the person you¡¯re going to beat soon.¡±
¡°i cant care for every person i''m going to kill~! heck, i don''t remember the name of the girl i killed last week~!¡±
¡°true....¡±
¡°In that case....i''m going to check now.....!¡±
¡°Ehh~ isn''t it too late? i mean we¡¯re already in the arena....¡±
¡°Its fine! its because you, Nii-sama, instructed me to do so, i cant not do it now!¡±
Time 12:00 Details Shindou Light VS. Amagi Michiru
¡°Shindou Light....¡±
¡°ohh......?¡±
¡°Nii-sama, have you heard this name before? i feel like i¡¯ve heard it before.....¡±
¡°nope~!¡±
Nii-sama isn''t actually my biological brother, its rather that we¡¯ve known each other since we were kids and were raised
as siblings.
¡°so what¡¯s his rank?¡±
¡°His rank...his rank.....371?! He¡¯s at the bottom of the ranking board!¡±
¡°then it¡¯ll be an easy win. right, Michiru?¡±
¡°Yes, Nii-sama! a-and....can we.....like....after the match.....g-go on a date together like last time...?¡±
¡°hahaha~How can i refuse you when you make that kind of face, Michiru? of course! of course we can~¡±
¡°e-ehehe~¡±
I giggled while Nii-sama has accepted my honest feelings.
¡°But Michiru....dont forget about our goals.¡±
¡°Yes....Nii-sama.....!¡±
the goal for entering this death game........the debt my and Nii-sama¡¯s parents left us after their death.......
Nii-sama¡¯s and my parents were a very close friends and they shouldered a single debt....they were so close that you¡¯d think they were siblings rather than friends.
but it all ended when they committed a mass suicide. the only survivors at the time were me and Nii-sama....its been 4 years since all of this has happened, and Nii-sama continued to support me up until this day.....so its my turn to support him!
¡°Participants, make your way to the center of the arena to start the match.¡±
¡°Well then Nii-sama, its about time i head out...¡±
¡°mmhmm! do your best, Michiru~¡±
¡°Yes!¡±
i wonder when i broke......when i started to kill with a smile.
i began shaking my head in order to clear the unnecessary thoughts while making my way to the center of the arena
that''s when i heard a voice i haven''t heard in a very long time.
.......and it seems that thinghas forgotten his place.
¡°Hey Michiru, Long time no see~!¡±
¡°ohh......? i remember....! Shindou Light! man~ totally forgot about you because everyone calls ya cockroach.....but meh,
everyone kinda forgot your existence after you dropped out.....so why¡¯re you here?¡±
¡°none of your business. and i still see that you¡¯re with that creepy brother of yours. your relationship is totally creepy....can you please not touch me during this match....?¡±
he started laughing while saying that
¡°Dammit you bastard! now you¡¯ve done it.....!¡±
i¡¯ve began dashing toward him while the audience is cheering on for me, of course no one is cheering for the cockroach.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
i started the incantation for my flame fist. my power is that of elemental magic and physical enchantments.
i jumped as i got close enough to deliver my strike. poor him, he lived a good while and will probably never have seen this coming.
¡°Take this, you damn cockroach!¡±
in mid air, i released the punch that''s infesting with flame magic, if a normal person were to take this punch, he¡¯d turn to
ash instantly. after all, its over 500c.
Smoke was everywhere, the crowd was silenced, probably dumbfounded
¡°That''s what you get for making light of me.¡±
¡°Nee~ did you know? that if you freeze the atmosphere, it¡¯ll be impenetrable?¡±
w-wait what.......!?
how the hell....is this guy even alive........?!
i ignored what he was saying because its probably only a bluff, i jumped back a couple of meters and then i tried going for multiple strikes with my strongest magic because who knows what he¡¯s up to. its annoying seeing his smug anylonger.
and he did the most thing unforgivable...he called Nii-sama.....creepy....!!
¡° <> ¡±
Moonlight Dance is my strongest magic/attack combo. it uses one of my two strongest elements. Wind and Earth.
by using earth, i''m able to unleash a fury''s worth of power that is enough to destroy this arena, while using wind to speed up my body and cushion the impact between the fist and the earth after hitting its target in order not to destroy the landscape.
¡°Taste this.....!¡±
truly, the fastest and the strongest skill out there....!
and my fists come into contact with his head...!
~Clang~
........?
clang......?
¡°Hee~ didn''t you listen to me? ahh...! you probably misunderstood......what i meant by ¡®freezing¡¯ isn''t like turning it to frost, but rather freezing its time! you see.....by freezing any object in its time means freezing it in its space! this is called spacetime but that''s besides the point, anyhow! when particles wont move, it means that they cant be slashed, smashed, burned or froze! now then, why am i telling you all of this?¡±
w-what...?
¡°y-you.....you cant possibly mean.....?!¡±
¡°aha~! you¡¯re truly sharp.....i''m quite amazed by you! now then, do you know why the crowd all of a sudden went ¡®silent¡¯ ?¡±
¡°ohh.....? now that you mention it.....they haven''t talked for a while.....aren''t they just dumbfounded?¡±
¡°nope! its because i froze the ¡®time¡¯ which led to freezing ¡®space¡¯ as well~ though i cant maintain this for long. time to get
to the real thing, and that''s killing you. don''t worry, it¡¯ll be the most horribledeath you can think of.¡±
¡°h-hahaha! you...? killing me?!¡±
¡°yes! its time to pay you back ten fold for all the shame you brought me....including those black mail pictures you took
after crushing of my testicles.¡±
¡°ohh...? ahh! if i remember correctly, one wont function forever right? every female in the world should thank me for saving them from a future rapist like you!¡±
¡°well don''t worry~ it¡¯s already fixed. don''t you realize there¡¯s something wrong with this body of mine?¡±
¡°.....?¡±
¡°its the same appearance is that when we first met, right?¡±
¡°now that you mention it......¡±
¡°hahahaha.....its about time to end this. Michiru, do you know what happens when you accelerate something beyond the speed of light?¡±
¡°.........¡±
¡°ahh, i bet you guessed it right? it¡¯ll crush under its own weight. it¡¯ll begin compressing and compressing while
maintaining its own mass....now then, what happens next....?¡±
as soon as i realized what happens next.....i went pale.
***
¡°Ding ding ding! a black hole is going to be born!¡±
seeing her face as pale as a sheet was more satisfying than i thought. but its about time i warp this up because i can sense that my skill¡¯s time is about to run out.
¡°now then Michiru, i¡¯ll tell you exactly how you¡¯ll die. <> i¡¯m currently accelerating a particle right next to you. i bet you¡¯re going to feel it in....3.....2....1¡±
¡°AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±
¡°ahahahahahaha~!!!!! this....this is priceless! that face!! Michiru...tell me, how does it feel being sucked in a super micro
black hole? huuh?? oops, she¡¯s already gone.¡±
meh, i would''ve stopped her time if possible, but there is no concept of time inside the black hole. in mere seconds, for here it must have been month~or even years.
since in the end, there is no concept of time in a black hole.
ahh~ just imagining her suffering the most pain she can ever get in this whole wide world......so awesome.....! i cant wait
until i get the rest to feel the same pain ten folds of what they gave me.
in case you didn''t know, Michiru will continue to compress~while alive until she¡¯s smaller than a particle, and she¡¯ll feel it to the last fold.
¡°ahh, about time i release the skill.....<>¡±
ohh~ i can hear the crowds in the middle of cheering, until they realize that i''m the only one standing here.....they
all stop talking and look for Michiru.
too bad, she¡¯s already dead.
but then again, its only been 7 seconds for then since the match started.
that''s when the announcer started talking
¡°ahh....Amagi Michiru-Sama¡¯s life signal is already dead.....! the winner and the record breaker for the fastest battle, Shindou Light....!¡±
i walked back to my waiting room while the crowd looks at my back too dumbfounded to even cheer.

Act 1-5 Cries of Agony
¡°Woah~! Master, what happened in there~? Michiru disappeared all of a sudden in middle of jumping! just what the hell did you do~?¡±
¡°hmm...? ahh, nothing at all.¡±
looks like Wolf was waiting for me in the waiting room....honestly, this guy is as creepy as ever.
as i was hearing faint shouts from a far,
¡°Ahh.....! is that.......is that Nii-Sama¡¯s cry of agony i¡¯m hearing....?!¡±
As i was hearing that cry, i took a 180* turn and immediately got out to the arena
¡°Nii-Sama~!¡±
I said in Michiru¡¯s voice.
now i bet you say how i¡¯m doing this, but its done via the atmosphere¡¯s memories! by using the <> i am able to return the atmosphere to the one where Michiru cried that~! since the sound waves in the end did come through here, all i did was return it to the state it was when the sound waves came through it, and it did the rest of the job.
¡°Michiru....? Michiru......! where are you?!¡±
Hahahahaha~!!!!
¡°Nii-Sama!¡±
¡°Michiru! where are you?! if you¡¯re there, please tell me where you are.....! i refuse to believe that you¡¯re dead.....since in the end, aren''t you calling for me now...?!¡±
ahh~ that face!
that¡¯s the face i wanted to see.....the face of a madman searching for someone who¡¯s already dead. now then, time to crush his faint hope, no?
¡°Nii-Sama~ wanna hear Michiru¡¯s last words.......?¡±
i said that toward the person who has yet to sense my presence
¡°AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±
¡°Mi-Michiru..........?¡±
while calling out her name, Nii-sama~ was as pale as a ghost....is hearing her cry of agony that hard to listen to....?or is it.....
¡°Nee~ Creepy-Nii-san, are you shocked that her last words weren''t your name? well, her last words aren''t exactly ¡®words¡¯ either, now is it~?¡±
¡°H-hey.....w-where is Michiru.....? i know she¡¯s still alive.....i mean, i heard her voice now.....!¡±
¡°ohh? well, didn''t you just hear her scream in pain?¡±
¡°W-what? there¡¯s no way That''s Michiru....i mean Michiru wont die......she cant die.....!¡±
¡°hmm~ i see. You¡¯re a lost cause aren''t ya? well, being broken is fine and all, but please do remember me before i go by my way, alright? i don''t want to kill you yet. ahh.....! i just thought of a fantastic idea!¡±
while saying that, i began trying to remember a skill used back in Wonderland Online....
if i remember correctly, its a skill that lets other users see the playback from the character¡¯s own perspective....the skill was available to all classes overlooking the unique skill trees and the such.
ahh..! i remember the skill¡¯s name....hopefully i¡¯m able to use it in here......
¡° <<¦¦¦Ç¦Ó? ¦Á¦Ð? ¦Ó¦Ï¦Ô? ¦Ï¦Ô¦Ñ¦Á¦Í¦Ï?? ¦Í¦Á ¦Ð¦Á?¦Î¦Ï¦Ô¦Í ¦Ó¦Á ¦Á¦Ñ¦Ö¦Å?¦Á ~¡±
as i am completing the incantation, ¡®Nii-Sama¡¯ should be able to see everything that has happened to Michiru from my point of view
¡°~¦¡¦Í¦Á¦Ð¦Á¦Ñ¦Á¦Ã¦Ø¦Ã?!>>¡±
¡°A-AHHHHHHH!!!! MI-MICHIRU!!!!!¡±
He lost the power to stand while calling the name of his beloved, he fell down to his knees crying his eyes out.
i, of course, was laughing my ass off. but unfortunately my voice wasn''t registered in his ears.
¡°Killing you now is easy, but i¡¯d rather pay you back to the fullest. so i¡¯ll make sure to make you suffer more.¡±
that is, of course, because he was one of the three who made my life a living hell.
i kicked up my feet, while thinking about where to head to now.
***
Darkness.
It¡¯s been two years since the school has been turned into that
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
at first, people panicked......but soon enough, it became something out of the ordinary.
really, its ironic how adaptable human beings are....even though we have a hate toward change.
I~who did not have any powers was soon a target.
of course, people thought i was not part of the game.
at first, people were gentle to me, but in the end, all they were after was my body.
they all talked about protecting me from other students, but in the end, i was used.
i mean, i cant exactly do anything right? i cant fight against them.
everyday, they came to defile me.
i am a person too dirty to live.
i should die, but i cannot.
since in the end, i¡¯m afraid of death......what is in the end of the line? after life? hell? heaven??
i am sure someone as dirty as myself would be sent to hell right away.
¡°WAKE UP!¡±
i¡¯m already awake.
ahh, is it already time for that.....?
¡°Stand up you little bitch! since we¡¯re protecting you and providing you with a shelter and food, shouldn''t you atleast thank us? anyhow, today¡¯s location is the bathroom in the park.¡±
i no longer have the power to talk so i just nod.
they grab me by the arm and push me around. it honestly hurts alot but i cant complain, since there was a time where i was naive enough to do that, all i got was a beating and no food for days.
i really cant go against ability users.....and i bet, even god gave up on someone like me.
there is no hero.
there is not a single person in the world who would save anyone for free.
as i was thinking these useless thoughts, we¡¯ve reached the park near the arena.
they shoved me inside the bathroom and began tearing at my clothes.
really.....that hurts.
¡°Ahh, Wolf! can you wait a bit? i need to go pee for a second.¡±
¡°Then i''m coming~!¡±
¡°to the bathroom?!¡±
that''s when he entered the bathroom.
¡°Ohh~ isn''t that the irregular?¡±
said the silver haired pretty boy.
¡°Ohh? irregular??¡±
wondered the black haired ordinary-looking man.
i wonder, aren''t they surprised a person is being raped right in front of them?
the Pretty boy continued talking as if we weren''t here.
¡°Ahh~ we call people like that when they gain an ability that''s from an outer source, like you~¡±
¡° i see.¡±
¡°if i remember correctly, this girl¡¯s ability was......necromancy......?¡±
what is this guy saying?
is he talking about another girl besides me.....?
ahh, this is a men¡¯s room and i''m currently being raped by a guerrilla.
of course they¡¯re talking about me.
but i don''t have any abilities you little idiot.....
¡°hmm~Is that so....ahh.....! i can use her~! anyhow, lets get rid of the guy who¡¯s doing her.¡±
i wonder why, but the guy near me hasn''t uttered a word since they got here.....
is he even moving.....?
of course he isn''t.
since he¡¯s already gone.
the Black haired man extended his hand toward me and said
¡°Hey you, whats your name?¡±
i answered
¡°i.....i......n.....o.....lo...n....ger.......re...me.....m.....ber.¡±
i, who couldn''t speak because i haven''t used my vocal cords for the last two years, have said that toward the man who took me out of that shit hole.
i really couldn¡¯t have believed at the time what this meeting could¡¯ve resulted in, since from that point on, the gears of fate were set in place and began spinning.
Act 1-6 Cheshire
Its been a silent couple of weeks already, it seems people have forgotten about me.
i¡¯ve been looking all over the place for the other members of my class, and the thing is, all of them are alive except for
Michiru, which i killed just the other day.....this is truly weird.
i mean, Michiru wasn''t that powerful....at least not as powerful as Alice.
i can only think of one thing, no one is actually playing this ¡®game¡¯ besides the official matches.
the other thing i realized is that you are not able to leave the school, but just how did Alice get out......?
i tried asking Wolf, but all he said was that without a special portal like the one we used to get here, its practically impossible to get out.
i really do think there is more to this than what meets the eyes.
hmm?
you really don''t care about that...?!
ehh~? you want to know about the new character?!
fufufufu~you¡¯re in for a surprise i tell ya!
she is finally able to talk!
i¡¯ve been taking care of her in my room for a while now. it seems she¡¯s too afraid to leave the room...thats truly problematic.
well, the first thing she asked me was my name....i guess she¡¯s well mannered?
of course i answered with ¡°Light. You can call me Madhatter if you¡¯d like¡± i might have sounded a little cold there.
believe me, just a little!
i-its not like i''m bad with females, okay?!
either way, i''m around my room¡¯s door at the moment
i cant believe i have to knock in for my own room......
well, i cant really complain because i''m the one who suggested it, it seems she isn''t bothered when she changes in front of me.
but who knows what might happen...this 16 years old body has its own desires....i mean, its been two years since i''ve seen the thing that i thought to be long dead, something that defied me.....!
my little friend is awake and alive!!
i think most of you might think ¡°stopping time?! you can grope all the women you want!¡±
thats what i thought so too!
at least until i tried it.....
their soft guns were as hard as a rock.....!
i cried for 3 days and 3 nights after that!
¡°Fufu~it seems master has his cute side as well! i always knew you weren''t all grumpy~i be-lie-ve-d!¡±
Ouu, you¡¯re acting too high for a homosexual....
alright!
time to get back in the act.
i knock the door.
after a couple of seconds, i hear a soft ¡°come...in.¡± and i enter.
what i¡¯m currently currying is a chocolate cake i got from the cafeteria, that place acts as a double for a market.
that place sells some unexpectedly high quality desserts!
i sneak a glance at her while i rest the cake on the table.
but i got to say, she¡¯s only wearing a white shirt i gave her over her body.....and she looks quite erotic.
bright red moist lips.Violet straight hair that looks exactly out of a painting and bright Blue eyes that can captive even the opposite sex
really, if someone were to take a photo out of this scene, it would¡¯ve been called ¡®A sleepy Angel.¡¯
i guess she just woke up? even though its almost noon.
¡°So, decided on a name yet?¡±
¡°W-what about.....Cheshire.....? is that no...good?¡±
¡°hmm? who said it wasn''t good?¡±
¡°i-i mean your face suddenly....got angry.¡±
hmm?
i see the reflection on the window....and all i see is a young man glaring at scared girl.
ohh......!
this is bad!
¡°i¡¯m sorry! its just i''m wondering why.......Cheshire?¡±
i came up with an excuse in a hurry....damn, i should get used to talking with girls.
¡°B-because i thought it was a match with.....Madhatter''s....¡±
ohh, this girl is trying to appeal for me?
hmm......i can really use her feelings of gratitude, cant i?
¡°I see. in that case, i think it suits you very well~! now then, i really hope you don''t hate chocolate!¡±
i began taking the cake out of the bag and present it to her, while at the same time signaling Wolf to bring the thing i¡¯ve brought her.
¡°before you start eating, i''m really going to apologize for this, but i¡¯ve got you something.¡±
i''m totally going to be hated for this.
Wolf comes back with a shadow over his body, Cheshire gasps at the sight before her, because what Wolf brought in was a dead body.
but not any dead body, its that of the guy that tricked her. ((As in the Mastermind behind the sex for a dollar situation she was in))
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
¡°so Cheshire, does this satisfy your thirst for vengeance? i don''t want you to endanger yourself for something like that nor do i want this trash to come after you. but i really ask of you, please try to raise it.¡±
i really shouldn''t have brought this here, but it seems my current abilities cant stop dead bodies¡¯ time.....and the fresher
the body, the better, right?
***
5 minutes go by.....
¡°Cheshire, isn''t it about time you show me your abilities?¡±
is what the hatter tells me.
i¡¯m really frightened....i mean, if i don''t have the ability that he needs....wont he throw me away.....?
i don''t want that!
i mean, aren''t i normal?
i''m nothing like those monsters...
ugh
the smell of this body is just horrible
i don''t even feel like eating the cake i was looking forward to anymore....
i mean, i really think that man deserves what he got, after tricking me over and over.....ahh! i really should just tell the
truth....Madhatter is a very nice man, i bet he¡¯s going to accept me....!
¡°B-but i......i don''t have any abilities....¡±
¡°is that so. then i don''t need any people who are a burden to me. do you want to die right now or get out?¡±
and there goes my hope~!
¡°W-wait! e-even if i do have an ability.....i really don''t know how to show it.......!¡±
¡°Wolf.¡±
¡°got it, master~¡±
Mister Wolf begins to take out a thick book out of his chest pocket....how the hell did he do that......?
he approaches me and hands me the book while pointing at the dead body
i began looking back and forth between the book and the body
Wolf begins making gestures of that of an opening and closing a book
..............
i think he wants me to open the book.
i began opening a book and start looking at the text.....and i cant understand naught.
¡°emm....i cant read this......?¡±
¡°hmm. try imagining that the text is all in English, that¡¯ll probably do the trick~¡±
says Mister Wolf...
alright.....!
¡°Fuuu~¡±
¡°Fuuuu~¡±
i exhale while closing my eyes and imagining with all the power i have.
¡°Oi. why are you closing your eyes?!¡±
ahh......!
¡°i-i forgot....¡±
alright, going to do my best starting now.....!
¡°<<¦ª¦Á¦Ë? ¦Ó¦Á ¦Ð¦Í¦Å?¦Ì¦Á¦Ó¦Á ¦Ó¦Ø¦Í ¦Í¦Å¦Ê¦Ñ?¦Í, ¦Ð¦Á¦Ñ¦Á¦Ê¦Á¦Ë? ¦Á¦Ê¦Ï?¦Ò¦Ó¦Å ¦Ì¦Å~¡±
woah?!
whats this......?
my mouth is moving on its own.....
not just that, even my hands and body......!
they are facing toward the dead body while continuing the incantation
¡°~¦¡¦Í?¦Ò¦Ó¦Á¦Ò¦Ç!>>¡±
as i finish saying the incantation, light began coming of my hand while going into the body before me.
all of a sudden the body woke
¡°A-AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±
screaming.
it woke up screaming!
¡°W-wooooaaaah!¡±
from surprise, i began screaming my lungs out as well
i began looking at Madhatter, seeking help but all he does is laugh happily....like he has gained a new toy.
¡°Fuhahahaha! this is truly interesting!! now then, time to go out.¡±
while he says that, he points toward the not so longer-dead body and all of sudden it returned to rotting flesh.
¡°Wolf, go dump that thing somewhere.¡±
¡°Yes, Master!¡±
¡°You have done well, Cheshire. now you can enjoy the cake!¡±
¡°Uuuu, i don''t think i can eat any longer....¡±
and that concludes the day i have gotten my new name and discovered my cursed ability.
-------------------------
Author note: I''m sorry for not being able to write a happy go lucky chapter.....! TT^TT
i just suck at writing those....but i hope everyone enjoyed this one!
also, i bet most of you already realized, but the intro of chapter one was actually being said by Cheshire if you didn''t realize, and by intro i mean this one:
Spoiler : some call it destiny, but it is nothing but gears set in place since the beginning of time
on that fateful day, the gears began to spin.
the gears of fate.
well then, shall we see for ourselves how that came about?
actually, its being said by both Light and Cheshire, but the part i copied was all Cheshire....so yeah! hope you enjoyed the chapter and look forward for more tomorrow!
Act 1-7 The Bloody Battle Royale?
i¡¯ve got Cheshire to memorize the whole content of the book i got from Wolf, and it seems there was no point in forcing it in because of the affinity between the book of necromancy and the girl herself.
i really do wonder sometimes, just who is Wolf?
i mean, from where can you get yourself a book about necromancy??
while i was wondering about that, i saw the hologram installed in my room Alongside bed.
i had requested Wolf to change the girl¡¯s name in the records of the academy to the of Cheshire, i really cant get her
to remember her old name when it is such a traumatic memory.
ohh?
Time 12:00 Details Battle Royal between rank 370~360
¡°Hey Cheshire! hurry up and wake up! its about to get 11!!¡±
damn, this sleepy head has taken over my bed once again.........should i kick her out?
seeing as that she¡¯s not waking up with just this, i proceeded into shaking her
¡°W-woah! what¡¯re you doing first thing in the morning?!¡±
¡°is that how to talk to someone kind enough to let you into their room and takes the time to wake your ass up?!¡±
¡°Ahh, its just Mister Hatter.....phew.¡±
¡°Stop sighing and tell me already, what rank are you at the moment?¡±
¡°rank.....?¡±
¡°yes.¡±
¡°whats that?¡±
¡°.............¡±
¡°wait whats with that look?! is it really that weird to not know?!¡±
¡°you.......have you really been in this place for two years........?¡±
¡°well i''m sorry for being locked up in some unknown place....¡±
¡°anyhow, i cant really explain it that well so i''m going to fetch Wolf¡±
¡°I¡¯m already here, Master!¡±
¡°Woah!? didn''t you go out to get breakfast for this sleepy head? what are you doing here?!¡±
¡°I already got it~¡±
¡°Good morning Mister Wolf!¡±
¡°Good morning, sleepy head~¡±
¡°it should be good afternoon you dimwits.¡±
dammit.
while they chuckle, i''m being serious about the rankings.....its my fault for being worried.
¡°Anyhow Wolf, can you check what rank Cheshire is?¡±
¡°Ohh, i¡¯ve already done that! its rank 370¡±
¡°you¡¯re still as a creepy perfectionist as ever........¡±
¡°so...what¡¯s this about ranking......?¡±
¡°Ahh, you¡¯re actually in a Battle royal to the death due today.¡±
¡°Eh.........?¡±
¡°hmm? i see. just let me repeat that i guess. YOU ARE IN A BATTLE ROYAL TO THE DEATH THAT STARTS IN AN HOUR, so get up and get changed!¡±
¡°O-okay.......!¡±
***
After changing my clothes, Mister Hatter and Mister Wolf presented me with a Japanese sword ((Katana)) and told me to use it in the battle....
i really don''t want to fight....
¡°Cheshire!¡±
I really like the sound of Mister Hatter when he calls my name....
¡°Cheshire!!¡±
hmm......?
isn¡¯t he calling me now........?
¡°Yeah.......?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be leaving you right now and head to the seats, so good luck!¡±
¡°Eh?¡±
i took a look around myself and all i see is some lockers and a seat located right infront of a TV
¡°Wait, isn¡¯t this the waiting rooms in the arena.....?¡±
i''m not so sure anymore because i haven''t been here before even once...
¡®To all participants, please make way to the center of the arena.¡¯
ahh, they¡¯re calling me aren''t they....?
i pick up the sword which is still in its sheath and began walking toward the center of the arena.
i hope i don''t die.....
i hope they don''t pay attention to me and i can last until the end......
ahh! i know what to do, i¡¯ll hide and hopefully they¡¯ll kill each other? and after that, kill the last guy standing??
yes! i should probably go with this plan.....man, it turns out i''m actually pretty smart?
while thinking like that, i reached the center of the arena.
the arena is a very wide circle with nothing in it........my plan wont work will it?
there is simply no way for someone to hide when everything is in plain sight.....
while looking for a place to hide helplessly, the announcer announced the beginning of the match.
ahh, they probably wont kill me yet will they? i mean i''m the weakest here.....i bet they¡¯ll leave me for the end.
The author''s tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
h-hmm....?
P-pain...
my faint hope was crushed just like how you crush an ant under your feet.
¡°H-hahaha! i¡¯m not going to die now! he promised to save me.....!¡± ((this is said by the girl who stabbed Cheshire))
i take a look around me and see that a small structure girl holding a sword that''s currently being stabbed into my bloody spine.....
i see.
so she has stabbed me?
isn''t this a fatal wound?
i wonder why i''m feeling calmer than before....
¡°Hey.......what are you doing?¡±
as soon as i said that, the girl behind me drops on the ground......i wonder why?
ohh! as soon as she gets down, she got up yet again!
hmm?
i wonder why, but her appearance is that of a rotting body.....is this fine? i mean she looks like a zombie.....
ahh! i remember, one of the curses of necromancers is that when receiving a fatal wound they inflict a dying curse on the inflicter of that wound....but i wonder why.....i really feel like something is amiss here.....ahh, whatever!
¡°you.....kill them all.¡±
as i said that, the zombie begins to run toward the person closest to us.
ohh....?
it seems they¡¯re best friends.....
ohh! i just got a great idea.......!
¡°<>¡±
the zombie that was attacking what it seems to be her best friend suddenly exploded and took her best friend with her.
¡°Hey hey~! aren''t you glad? now you can both be undead together!¡±
both bodies began standing up again and started attack those nearest to them.
i¡¯ve repeated this for a couple of times until all of them were dead......or at least that''s what i thought.
¡°M-moster......!¡±
that''s when i suddenly got my neck severed from my body
ohh, how i¡¯ve been careless.
for the first time, i began realizing that the arena was dyed in blood.
the whole floor is dyed red, with whose blood? that is something i don''t know.
i wonder, when am i going to die?
how can i live with only a severed head.....?
that''s when i took notice of something really important.
my body which was located infront of me began moving on its own.
ohh?
can i control it.......?
those were my first thoughts when i saw my headless body moving.
i wonder, since when were i like this.....?
since when did i become a monster?
when i realized how stupid my thoughts were, i burst into laughter.
¡°Haha......hahahahahahaha~!¡±
i....i¡¯ve always been a monster......isn''t that right?
¡°Y-you.....you monster.......!¡±
¡°ohh?¡±
this is bad, i forgot about him again...this guy has presence issues.
i instruct my body to come pick up my head, but it couldn''t do so while being stabbed by the guy who got my neck.
ahh, this is getting annoying....my body cant pick up my head with him cutting me all over the place.....
well then, i unsheathed the sword in preparation to attack him, and at the same time, the zombies i created began to swarm him.
this is truly a scene out of a low-budget horror movie.....while blood was still flowing out of the place my neck used to be, while the zombies are holding the man in his place, i struck him
"¦Ö¦Ï?? ¦Å? ¦Ê¦Á? ¦Å?? ¦Ö¦Ï?¦Í ?¦Ð¦Å¦Ë¦Å?¦Ò¦Å¦É."
the man fell down, turned to ashes with the rest of the zombies, that''s when i noticed the weird inscriptions on the sword, it looked like Greek letters....but i cant read Greek so i cant say for sure.
the announcer announced the winner while i instruct my body to pick up my head.
i looked at the reflection on the hologram screen used to broadcast the match, and on it i''ve seen myself with my hair colored crimson blood.
from that day onwards, she was feared as the undead crimson princess.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¡°Ohh~ so that''s the necromancer¡¯s ultimate skill, Having an immortal body.....!¡±
¡°indeed. so anyhow Wolf, got the information i told you to gather?¡±
¡°Yup! found out where Shigure Sasayama is currently at~!¡±
¡°Good job.¡±
¡°Lets forget that for now and celebrate Cheshire-Chan¡¯s first win~¡±
¡°Sure.¡±
¡°He~y Cheshire! wanna go grab some crepe~?¡±
¡°Yes! Mister Wolf~!¡±
¡°Ohh, and don''t forget to add it on Light¡¯s Tab.¡±
¡°Hey! stop messing around!! weren''t you the one who bought that expensive futon even though you can get ones for
free here?!¡±
¡°ehh~? but weren''t you the one who gave the bed for Cheshire-chan? we need a big one for the~both~of~us~!? ¡î¡±
¡°Hey! you¡¯re still sleeping with me?!¡±
¡°Yes, i sneak in after you sleep and leave before you wake up.....that''s how much love i hold for you~!¡±
¡°Shut it!¡±
¡°P-pfftt, hahahahahahahaha~!¡±
Cheshire begins laughing at the exchange between me and Wolf....
really, i shouldn¡¯t get mixed in his pace.
¡°Mister Hatter and Mister Wolf sure get along~i¡¯m pretty envious¡±
¡°Yup~¡î¡± ¡°How?!¡±
we continued with similar conversations until we¡¯ve reached the cafeteria.
¡°So, what should i get Master and Cheshire-chan~?¡±
¡°Well then Mister Wolf, i¡¯ll be taking the chocolate cream crepe!¡±
¡°No need to get me anything.¡±
¡°Ehh~why not Master? wont you feel left out when only me and Cheshire-chan are the only one eating~?¡±
¡°I¡¯ll be fine, i just don''t feel like eating anything at the moment.¡±
¡°okay~! so its two chocolate cream crepe and one mixed fruits crepe!¡±
¡°hey, didn''t i say i didn''t need any?!¡±
he continues on ignoring my statement.
¡°So...Mister Hatter...shall we look for a seat....?¡±
Cheshire said that while her cheeks are flushed a little...
Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
damn, she¡¯s a bit cute...
no no no no! stop!!
no more thinking into that direction.
¡°well then...umm, should we sit outside?¡±
she answered while flashing a big smile with a ¡°Sure!¡±
as we were sitting down, Cheshire wondered about her powers, but i, of course, knew about them from Wolf.
¡°So, what do you want to know first?¡±
¡°umm......then why did the people i killed turned into zombies....?¡±
¡°ahh, that''s because you have used the skill ¡®Dead raise¡¯ before didn''t you? i mean when i brought you that body.¡±
¡°yeah.....?¡±
¡°to put it simply, because you have used the skill before, it stays with you for the rest of your life. so whoever you kill or your undead kill, they¡¯ll become your brainless followers. this of course is lowest grade of undead creations. if we were to put it in RPG terms, it¡¯ll be that you used the skill once and gained a passive skill of turning every enemy you kill into a zombie.¡±
¡°haa.......then, how come i cant die?¡±
¡°that''s because you have learned the whole art of necromancy which would normally take more than two life times. when finishing the art of necromancy, the caster is granted the ability of immortality. the highest grade of undead, the living-dead body state. this body is both undead and living, the heart works fine but you can live without a heart. your body emits heat but you can shut it down whenever you want, etc.¡±
while i was explaining whats happening, Wolf came back while currying the three crepes.
he hands each of us one, and Cheshire enjoys hers while we¡¯re finishing our talk
¡°hee~ so you¡¯re explaining her power to her, Master?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
we both took a look at Cheshire, who was too busy eating to even listen to a word i said after the crepe came
¡°So anyhow, Wolf. how were you able to get that book?¡±
¡°hmm~ so Master wants to know about me~?¡±
¡°n-no! i¡¯m....well......yes, i am interested in your past.¡±
while i was saying that, he gave me a bitter sweet smile and answered ¡°No matter what happens, Master. remember that i¡¯m always on your side.
i couldn¡¯t understand what he meant by those words, and as i was going to ask him about them, Cheshire, which was sitting right next to me fell on the table with a ~Klang
Looking toward her surprised, and as if that was the trigger, we¡¯ve heard an explosion from the direction of the dormitory.
i switched my sight to that of Wolf, keeping a bitter sweet smile with a hint of regret in his eyes, when all of a sudden his head fell down from his body, covering both me and the unconscious Cheshire in blood.
Act 1-9 Project: Bloody Wonderland? Part 1
Was about to head to bed when i thought this thought "Well....i could at-least write a teaser.....right?" So here it is!
this is a teaser for the next few chapters or possibly an arc! though don''t blame me if the grammar and spellings
are even worse than usual, okay~?!
Side note: Time gasp is now Time Grasp.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stood up immediately and started going after Wolf¡¯s body without paying heed to the blood covering me.
i got his head in place and began using <>
but as i thought, i can do something about the physical property but not spiritual......i need to train more.
as i thought that, i remembered that Cheshire was indeed a necromancer, i really couldn¡¯t help but forget about it for a moment in this situation.
I began shaking Cheshire''s body, but to no avail.
i grab Wolf¡¯s body in one arm and began dragging it while lifting Cheshire¡¯s over my shoulder.
ohh before i forget, i already returned both me and Cheshire¡¯s state¡¯s to that of before the blood bath happened.....but for some reason, i couldn¡¯t wake her up with my powers.....i think they¡¯re going highwire.
i mean, removing poison is nothing for my powers...but i wonder why?
ahh, perhaps its because Cheshire¡¯s body is an undead? heck, i''m really surprised that an undead could get poisoned.
while having such thoughts, i began heading toward the dorm....hopefully that explosion didn''t do anything to our room.
but that faint wish was soon proven wrong, when the whole building has crumbled under. it looked to be in utter chaos honestly.
i¡¯ve thought of restoring the building but quickly abandoned the idea since that¡¯ll just bring me to the brink of death.
i mean, i cant really rebuilt the whole thing based on the memory of the rocks, right?
that''s just reckless, stopping it is fine and all, but turning the time for something that huge is just plain silliness.
as i was wondering about what to do now, Cheshire began getting up....i wonder if there are some complications....since knocking out an undead is quite something.
¡°Uuuu, what happened, Mister Hatter.....?¡±
¡°one thing¡¯s for sure, Wolf is dead and we have exactly no where to live.¡±
¡°E-eh?! isn''t that too much to dump on a girl who just woke up?!¡±
¡°don''t say that when you were knocked unconscious~! probably, the crepe you had was drugged.¡±
¡°W-whoa...! who can do something so evil......? wait, who cares about that, what happened to Mister
Wolf?!!¡±
¡°It was probably Wolf himself. either way, his head was chopped off~or rather, his neck wasn''t connected to his body by skin, but with some kind of machines....they only covered the outer part and connected with each other. they probably disconnected the neck with the rest of the body......? probably a self destruct switch? or a switch in order to ¡®silence¡¯?¡± ((what i meant by this is that there is a metallic part in the outer area of the neck which only acts as a connector. so what happened was that thing got disconnected which caused Wolf to die.))
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
¡°E-e-eh?! shouldn¡¯t we like....get revenge........?!¡±
¡°Rather than that, see if you can revive him.¡±
¡°O-oh! totally forgot about that solution!!¡±
as she was saying that, she began saying the incantation which finished with ¡®~¦Á¦Í¦Á¦Ò¦Ó¦Á?¦Í¦Ø!>>¡¯
Dark light began going out of her hands and toward Wolf''s body......but for some reason, the wont enter the body like the previous ones.
¡°E-eh? i-its not working.....?¡±
¡°i guessed as much.¡±
as i said that, i began moving toward the body that has started rotting.
¡°Mister Hatter.....what do you plan on doing now.......?¡±
¡°well, first things first is to bury Wolf somewhere. we cant really leave him here in the open, right?¡±
as i was saying that, Cheshire, which was holding her tears, burst into a crying fit.
i ignored her and proceeded with grabbing a shovel from the store house in the park across the dorm.
¡°Hey Cheshire, no matter how much you cry, he wont get back y¡¯know. just come here and help me out so we can atleast give him a proper burial.¡±
¡°*Sniiff* Okay...¡±
and as such, she took one as well, and both Cheshire and i began shoveling in order to bury Wolf¡¯s body.
as soon as we finishing the burying procedure, we proceeded into prying.
and while in the middle of prying, a bright light came from the grave that blinded both me and Cheshire.
It seems Cheshire has recovered before me because she was frozen when i recovered and look toward her.
all she did was point toward the grave.
what sat in there was a note, that was glued to the rock we made as a monument of Wolf¡¯s death, but it wasn''t
something special...just a rock that was shaped as a ¡®W¡¯.
either way, i took up the note and saw the contents.....and was left speechless.
Please Stop Project: Bloody Wonderland.
~MadHatter07
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it¡¯s my fault that i left out the character introduction for later, but i¡¯ll write what that means at the moment.
Light, as an 8th grader had this severe case of Chuunibyuu, where he made a name for himself. which was MadHatter07, the seventh generation of MadHatter. that, of course, is something that only he, himself knows of, and no one else. because in the end, doesn''t everyone have a history they¡¯d rather want to hide?
Act 1-9 Project: Bloody Wonderland? Part 2
Author Note: i went Ahead and changed the style of how i wrote the Fiction. just to check which one you guys are going to enjoy! so please leave a comment about which style would you like me to use from now on, this or the previous one? do mind that if you do not tell me, i ''ll revert to the old one. ((like, the one i used before was from the PoV of characters themselves, while this one has a little more narrator feel to it, so point is, Old= PoV>Narration while this one has Narration>PoV))
PS. this is the second part of the ''Project: Bloody Wonderland?'', i apologize for not being able to write a longer chapter...but i will later......! its just that..................... i just finished a 5 hours long Study session for tomorrow''s Final....i promise i''ll write the character introductions ((you should hold no hope for how this is going to look, since i have never wrote one before XD)) and write another chapter if i could.......anyhow, i think this is a pretty interesting chapter, so enjoy~!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheshire, Alone, Began looking left and right suspiciously in one corners of the park. confirming that no one is besides her here, she took out what looked like a small note.
¡°I hope he didn¡¯t notice this...¡±
she sighed out of the stress this has been causing her. after all, she, herself got a note as well, besides Light.
she suspected that this might be the main aim of the note that Light received, but quickly dismissed the idea because it will prove only futile of she got a hand of anything of worth.
she thought of giving the note to Light as well. but before she could, he denied her of any research concerning ¡®Project: Bloody Wonderland¡¯.
Even i want to take revenge for Mister Wolf... she thought.
since in the end, they were pretty close.
they both teased Light together, complained about not being able to sleep with him even though Wolf sneaks in his bed every night.
those were the happiest memories of Cheshire....but in the end, they were but a few.
so in the end, she decided to go against Light¡¯s warning and see through it herself.
although Light himself has been researching what Bloody Wonderland means, his search has yet to bare fruit.
She began reading the note for the first time since receiving it, because she took too long to gather her resolve in order to do her own research.
If you want to know more about Project Bloody Wonderland, Come to the location that Wolf died in, on the 12th of January 2015 at 18:00.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
unlike the first note, this one has been left unsigned.
It could be a trap.... Cheshire hesitated.
It might be......But it could also be a very big clue to Wolf¡¯s death and Bloody Wonderland.......! she shook her head
while trying to get rid of the hesitation.
To start with, all she cared about was her Own saviours, those who saved her from that dirty shithole.
with a hint of the tingling hesitation that has yet to leave her heart, she checked the clock only to be surprised.
that clock stood at 17:55
there were only 5 minutes left till the meeting time.
¡°I-if i sprint now.....i might make it......!¡±
using her super human power acquired after becoming an undead, she sprinted toward the cafeteria¡¯s outside dinning area, toward the table she once ate crepe with Light and Wolf. the location Wolf spent his last moments in.
that location shouldn¡¯t have had been held any place special in her heart, but it did. since in the end, it''s the location of both the happiest memory and the saddest.
while thinking such thoughts, tears began to overflow from her eyes, but she paid them no mind and continued on to the location, only to arrive at the last minute.
upon arrival, Cheshire began having second thoughts about coming to this location, but she couldn¡¯t tell Light about the second note, Which could prove to be a critical hint toward his goal when it already became useless....right?
so her own thoughts of guilt has rooted her in her place. that''s when she heard a voice.
¡°Hello~! Cheshire-Chan!!¡±
she turned stiff upon hearing her name being called.
there are only two people who know Cheshire¡¯s new name.
and that is, Light and Wolf.
between those two, the only one who would add a ¡®Chan¡¯ to the end is Wolf.
stiffly turning around, what stood before her was a blond Teenager that shouldn¡¯t be allowed to exist because of her beauty.
even the gods would burn in jealousy if they are faced with her beauty.
What she wore was only a black tank top T-shirt that went bellow her knees.
with her Blue sky eyes, drew a teasing smile while waving me closer.

PS. sorry for the short chapters that i posted yesterday and the day before.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¡°......It¡¯s been a few days since Cheshire went missing......¡±
but in the end, it¡¯s not like i held her here or anything.....it¡¯s just that she left without leaving any kind of message. no goodbyes? i guess in the end, every man for himself.
Light was brainstorming about what his next move was going to be in his makeshift bed.
he is currently in the park, while his bed is consisting of cardboard flatly evened as the bottom layers with a blue blanket on top.
you might think that Light is frustrated for not having anyplace to sleep in; but surprisingly, he didn¡¯t mind at all.
¡°hmm~ what should i do now......¡±
muttered Light.
should he blindly search for something god knows if he can ever find, or look for the person with the most useful ability to him?
¡°Looks like i was stupid to actually think this over, no?¡±
while saying that, he jumped from the bench and dusted off his clothes.
¡°<>¡±
and he used that skill on the bench in order for people to not steal his stuff away.
upon finishing, he took out a small notebook from the uniform¡¯s chest pocket and opened it.
what stood there was as follows¡¯
Shigure Sasayama Location Section 7 of the northern underground sewers. Ability The ability to locate people and objects. //Be careful Master, he¡¯s one of the few,
who people were after because of his troublesome ability. i advise that you give him a text telling him you¡¯re coming in order for him to not avoid you. i have already instructed him that you shall be visiting, so be sure to send the text. alright, Master?//
It was a book with a neatly organized notes.
you¡¯re a perfectionist as always, you creep.
while saying that, Light flashed a lonely smile full of regret.
the notebook was actually used by wolf until the day of his death, that''s when he handed it to Light.
the Notebook was filled with information about the school, students and their abilities and even how to access the main console.
¡°so in the end, didn¡¯t you know that you were going to die that day, huh, Wolf?¡±
he asked that, but didn¡¯t expect an answer.
he began heading toward the northern part of the Academy¡¯s city.
Light wasn¡¯t really in a hurry, so he decided to take it slow and easy and treat it as a walk, since he hasn¡¯t been in the northern part before since coming back.
the northern part originally only had the club areas, that place was also quite popular. you could spot a few people here and there ganging up on others.
that''s when Light noticed something was off.
there were too many people here.
they appeared out of the dark spaces and corners of the club rooms near here.
Light didn¡¯t pay them any heed, but that''s only before he appeared.
***
¡°Hey boss! is it really alright for us to kill this wimpy guy?¡±
with a surprised expression, my underling enquired from me.
¡°Of course! you might not know, but i, Sakaki Shinichi, has had that thing as a money income source before the great revelation!¡± ((as in, for those guys, having to battle to the death and getting powers related to killing is a divine revelation for them to do what they want))
he told his followers. it gave them a very huge boost in moral because.....who would even consider someone who is that weak to be worth anything?
with my name starting with the letter for ¡®death¡¯((shi can mean death in Japanese)) i have turned the north district into my own turf. those who cross it without paying a price are to be slaved or killed at all costs....but that''s beside the point. today, i am facing this thing because a job requested him dead. i don¡¯t exactly know why people want this thing dead at all, but money is money! and an easy job that gives a lot of money is always welcomed.
¡°i have no idea how he looks the same as that day......but i shouldn¡¯t dwell on it now, i can always do it later.¡±
Shinichi mumbled under his breath.
right after regaining focus, he shouted ¡°Attack him.....!¡± and all 30 uniform wearing students attacked what seemed like a harmless individual.
This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.focusing all of their attacks on one point, all of them began using their abilities.
a hurricane blew while striking its lightning all on one point, and that is Light.
at the same time, Fire came out from the hands of multiple students also aimed at the center of that thing, while the earth shook and split right open where his foothold.
while the smoke has yet to stop raising, all the students were either celebrating or disappointed in how easy the job was.
the hurricane was blown away by a tornado summoned from another student that also headed toward the location where Light used to be.
¡°Hey hey~! no matter who he is, don¡¯t you think a tornado is a bit of an overkill?¡±
¡°Ah....I¡¯m sorry, boss! i just couldn¡¯t help but get the creeps while looking at his terribly creepy smile....¡±
¡°.......?¡±
i have yet to understand what he meant, but that''s when i noticed something.
why isn¡¯t the wind blowing?
i mean, there is a tornado right in front of me, there is supposed to be powerful winds.....right?
as soon as i realized that something wrong is going on, a student that took his place beside that thing¡¯s corpse suddenly was sent flying.
not just that, it somehow froze in the middle of nothing.
ten feet from the ground, there was a guy from my gang stuck.......in middle air.
he wasn¡¯t screaming for help nor was he changing expressions, he was just there, with a pained expression that doesn¡¯t even realize that he¡¯s ten feet from the ground.
but then all of a sudden, he fell to the ground and was smashed head first into the ground.
his head, wide open, had some brain leaking out.
it was a small, pink and sponge like.
that''s when the blood, as if realizing it was his job to run after the brain, gushed out all at once. and the pressure of that lead to his eyes popping out of their sockets and his mouth to be hang open.
it was truly a scene out of your worst nightmares.
i tried looking the other way immediately, and that''s when i noticed that all of gang were on the ground in similar ways.
it is the most horrible and painful death i could have ever though of.
¡°Ohh~? i wonder.....why can¡¯t i hit you.......?¡±
that thing asked.
with an expression as if he was in total paradise after finding his long lost love, he came closer to me. a step at a time....a step at a time.
~cling~clang~cling~clang
he continued to move as slowly as possible.
i was terrified, but i could still live through it.
in the end....my power is that of <>
¡°H-hahahaha! you might have gotten rid of the small fry....but you couldn¡¯t get rid of me.....! which means that you can¡¯t destroy my barrier!¡±
i said in absolute confidence.
since in the end, if he cant get through its my win.
i turned back in hopes of running away but that''s when he mumbled something under his breath.
i felt a chill that ran through my spine and my body was screaming for me to run away, but my feet refused to move.
i took a glance behind me and saw that the barrier that has withstood thousands of thunder strikes and had prided myself with for being invisible, had a huge crack.
that thing continued to take a step closer. one at a time while pointing his Silver coated black Heavy pistol.
the barrel had what looked like a dragon head coming out of its end.
i shook in fear when the barrier perished.
he still continued on, step at a time while bearing a very, very Cheerful smile in his face.
i, who couldn¡¯t move, was about to die.
that''s what all the alarms that have kicked in are telling me.
that''s when he came close enough for our noses to touch each other, and pointed the muzzle toward my head.
he then proceeded to hit the trigger.
i closed my eyes and shrieked in terror while hearing a ~Bang!
that''s when....he burst into laughter.
i have noticed that snot, spit, tears and various other warm liquids have been spilled out of my body.
the still laughing Thing was rolling in the floor while i am scared to death.
that''s when he stopped laughing all of a sudden, just like that when you turn off the radio in the middle of a song.
he ceased laughing and pointed the muzzle toward my right foot......and shot.
my right foot was blown away while i receive a shock big enough to knock me out and get me back online and repeat.
i screamed in pain and withered.
blood spelling out like a fountain, and my body was already paralyzed.
if not for the pain, i would¡¯ve already been knocked out.
i cursed my arrogant past self when he suddenly said ¡°ahh....I¡¯m actually more human than you are...right? then shouldn¡¯t i put you out of your misery?¡±
he said that and pointed the muzzle toward my brain yet again
i squeezed all the energy in my body and said ¡°You Monst~¡± ~BANG!
Act 1-11 Absolute Eyes and Ears.
¡°Hoo~¡±
A shadow exhaled while being impressed.
it seems that the shadow is within a room filled with screens.
just what are those screens used for you wonder?
they are the screens used in order to see.
¡°I guess just as she said, he is a subject worthy of his attention.¡±
the shadow made exaggerated thinking postures while mumbling so.
¡°Now then....should i welcome him?¡±
***
After entering the sewers, there has only been a single, straight path.
i walked and walked for what seemed to be hours.....although i cant feel tired because i have frozen the property of my body.
¡°hmm~hmm~~hmm~¡±
Light began humming in order to ease his boredom, but soon enough, that too became boring.
¡°Damn....i hope Wolf didn¡¯t get his information wrong.......ahh! shit.....i forgot to send the text.....to begin with,
that damn Wolf forgot to add a number! if he wasn¡¯t dead, i would¡¯ve killed him!!¡±
Light spent quite some time insulting the dead until he got to his first fork-road.
¡°hmm.....which one should i choose......?¡±
while dwelling on which side of the road to chose, the earth began to shook and Light got on all fours, prone mode.
but unfortunately for him, what only shook was the wall behind him.
the wall opened up and lights started up from inside of the newly opened tunnel.
¡°damn.....i¡¯m drenched in sewers water....lets hope no poop was dropped today. anyhow, is she inviting me in.........?¡± after getting back up, he used <> on his clothes and got them back to the condition they were before entering the sewers.
while hesitating over whether its a trap that leads outside the sewers or not, the wall suddenly began coming down. which made Light snap into quick judgment and jumped forward inside the small hole that the closing wall has yet to close.
whether its a trap or not.....taking the risk is better than blindly heading in unknown territory.
making up an excuse to forgive him in case it really was a dead end, he continued on.
he kept walking for what seemed to be hours yet again, but this time around.......¡°Hahahahaha~!¡± he was laughing.
he began remembering the events with what happened before coming to the sewers.
he stripped Shinichi¡¯s corpse and hanged it up a lighting pole.
of course, with all the filth dropping from his body from the muscle relaxation after death.
it truly is a humiliating scene that would bring nightmares upon those who did the action and those who have seen it.
but the one who is currently doing the action is dead, and the only apology Light had was toward the people who were going to clean up after his mess.
that''s when he reached the end of the line.
it was a dead end.
Light immediately dropped his shoulders in disappointment and gave out a wry smile directed toward himself.
he then gasped in surprise when the wall he thought to be a dead end suddenly turned into a two meter video feed TV.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
¡°Truly....truly superb!¡±
that is the first that that person said toward Light.
with the rear of the chair facing the camera, he couldn¡¯t make up whether it was a female or a male.
the voice was also changed via a voice changer.
it sounded like DarthVader was speaking....
unexpectedly, Light was a huge Starwars fan but that''s a story for another day.
Still surprised at the sudden appearance of a 2 meter screen, Light could only open and close his mouth like an idiot.
after a few minutes, that which sounded like DarthVader broke the silence with a forced cough.
that¡¯s when Light regained his senses.
he thought damn.... i never seen a TV screen that huge....the biggest ones i had in home were 32 inch......
¡°Err.....a-anyhow, y-your powers....are truly fascinating!¡±
¡°.....?¡±
¡°i had the liberty of handing you a gift, no? i watched you fight then.¡±
¡°by gift....you mean those scum?¡±
¡°Yes, those trash....didn¡¯t you have a score to settle with their leader?¡±
DarthVader spoke in a matter of fact tone.
really....even if you¡¯re right, you shouldn¡¯t talk as if you know everything......right?
¡°anyhow, do you really understand how i used my power there?¡±
¡°of course!¡±
Light was shocked to hear that.
because he knew that stopping time didn¡¯t mean stopping the whole universe¡¯s time, but only those in set of range.
but that also included cameras and devices....as long as they are in range, they as well can be stopped.
and yet....how did she know? isn''t her power only to locate people and objects, rather than an all seeing eye-so to say?
but what came next shook Light even further, to the point where his jaw was hung open.
¡°the way you used your hand......i cant believe you actually distorted both space and time in order to create a paradox! and yet....taking control of that paradox using the concept of time and grab an ancient weapon this concept is yet to be proven by science......and yet, you just used it......truly marvelous!! with this, we can explain how he still has that ancient relic....but, is the reason why you can¡¯t keep it here for long is because the paradox wont fix itself unless the weapon is back in its rightful place?¡±
while saying that, Light imagined a little girl inquired about what she didn¡¯t understand by titling her head.
Light, at that moment, realized just how much of a frightful the existence of that person is.
having both absolute eyes and an absolute ears, Light smiled as he began making plans for acquiring a new toy.
he smiled as a child who cant wait to get his hands on a toy just a few minutes from reaching the store.
he smiled so brightly.....it made his previous shocked expression nothing but a lie.
Act 1-12 Project: Bloody Wonderland.
¡°So here¡¯s the deal. for the meantime, i shall only answer three of your questions.¡±
The shadow said while laughing.
Light, hearing that began sulking.
he literally went to the corner right next to the TV and hung his head between his hands in response to the Shigure¡¯s statement.
¡°WOAH?! you shouldn¡¯t be that surprised, right?! you should actually feel very proud that i actually gave you the option of having three of your questions answered! normally, I¡¯ll just ignore them, you know!! heck.....I¡¯ll add this to the equation and you can choose a single request or three questions!¡±
The sulking light looked up toward the two meter-screen that took the whole wall in front of him.
¡°Request.....?¡±
¡°Yes...! i can even give you a GPS locator for all the students in this school plus the information about their powers! don¡¯t underestimate the power of knowledge!!¡±
before anyone could notice, the conversation¡¯s flow turned to Light¡¯s favor.
hee....it looks like this girl is pretty lonely.....no?
thats when Light had a very interesting idea come to mind.
¡°Hey.....can i ask you to do me anything ?¡±
¡°Yes.......?¡±
After confirming that, Light took the most natural request he can ever think about.
¡°Then become my subordinate!¡±
¡°e-eh...?!¡±
Gasped the shadow in the screen.
¡°I mean, aren¡¯t you pretty lonely hiding here? come out with me to the outside world and become my subordinate. that way, i can protect you from any attacks against you.¡±
Light felt like throwing up by saying such a cheesy line, but he had grasped at this shadow¡¯s weakness. and that is....loneliness.
he thought that even the what appeared to be a cool character, once getting hold of their weakness; and that is, once their pace gets disturbed, can be manipulated.
although he tried that with the now-dead wolf before, it never worked because it was wolf who was disturbing his pace rather than the opposite.
¡°well, in the end, don¡¯t you want to see the outside world other than through the screen? is that really satisfying?¡±
Light said.
seeing that the shadow~DarthVader had a hard time deciding, he thought of giving him an excuse in order to convince herself of joining.
¡°Ahh~ don¡¯t you want to actually study my skills? like how i can bring out a relic from the past here.¡±
<>
while saying so, his Right arm cracked.
it¡¯s a very painful technique that distorts time and creates a paradox in a set location; in this case its Light¡¯s right arm.
before the paradox actually affects the universe, he sets a barrier with <> which controls the distortion, he pulls a relic weapon from god knows where~in this case, when.
he pulled, yet again, the black coated, silver heavy pistol.
with its barrel in dragon head shape, he waved it toward the screen.
¡°don¡¯t you want to study this up close?¡±
he asked in a matter of fact tone.
The shadow in turn, gave a sigh and turned the chair to face the camera.
the shadow disclosed and from it emerges a petite, young girl with chestnut hair.
her eyes seemed to be of the same color and her pure white skin suggested her lack of sunlight.
¡°A Loli.¡±
thats the first thing i uttered after seeing her appearance.
at the same time, i am also reminded of the last time i watched Anime......and at the same time, of my hate toward Alice who killed me that day.
since in the end, i watched some Anime before heading out to meet her.
the girl~Shigure, stared bright red into my eyes~or at least thats what my gut is telling me. since in the end, who
can tell from that humongous TV?
so she told me ¡°do you remember what i just told you? knowledge; information, is power! if we were to follow that, then curiosity is one of the most intriguing desires, no? anyhow, if you want me to join you, i have but a request that i must make you do. i want you to access the main terminal of the school and pull out information about ¡®Project: Bloody Wonderland¡¯. ever since i tried hacking into the main server, someone kicked me out and closed it down. now the only way to access such information is manually through the terminal located in the principle office.¡±
she said that in a tone implying that i couldn¡¯t do it.
this was an obvious provocation, and Light thought there was more to the deal than she has already told him.
¡°Just what exactly is this project Bloody Wonderland?¡±
he asked the question that was in his mind ever since that mysterious note was left on Wolf¡¯s tombstone. ((yes, in the chapter where Wolf was buried i typed monument, which is still correct but i changed it again to tombstone in order to make it more accurate.))
¡°I don¡¯t know myself.......all i know is that the files concerning that project....are all highly classified. even i, who
can get through the pentagon¡¯s cyber security undetected was unable to access the files....all i got to say is, its something very intriguing.¡±
i couldn¡¯t help but give a wry smile after hearing that......the pentagon.....? isn¡¯t that something you shouldn¡¯t even think about hacking.......?
with those thoughts in mind, i decided to make my way back to the surface and toward the principles office.
¡°Oii, where are you going?! don¡¯t you need to get the code for the terminal first?!¡±
¡°I already got it~!¡± i answered while walking away and waving my hands to the screen behind me.
i could hear Shigure¡¯s Sigh of resignation while i shrug it off.
***
The principle office is located at the center of the school.
it has its own, separate building built just for it.
now i bet that you are all suspecting that this is just a waste of money, but believe me, this thing has much more uses than just having the principle¡¯s office.
it is also the shelter made inside the school.....i can only think that the principle at the time of building this was just a coward who wanted to be even safer in peaceful japan.
<>
i immediately decided to use time barrier in order to maximize the efficiency.
i entered the now building....and its dark.
as expected from a shelter.... thought Light.
Light began looking for a Light switch, and when he did, he flung it open~or atleast thats what he planned to do.
but the switch wont flip.
Damn...i guess using <> was a mistake on my part.....? i¡¯ll flung the switch open and re-use it.
he stopped the skill for mere seconds and he flung the switch open.
thats when he noticed something wasnt right.
because right after switching the lights on........hundreds of undead were there.
¡°Ehh~? this might be imagination.¡±
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Light flung the switch yet again and it turned the lights off, and turned the lights back on again.
the undead were still there.
Light continued to switch the lights back on and off in denial while the undead appeared to him as if they were titling their head in puzzlement over his weird behavior.
ehh??? why are there undead here!?
who called these undead.....?!
the only one who can raise this many undead is Cheshire.....did she join the enemy side..........?!
Light had many similar question as those, but realizing that it isnt time for that, he quickly used <> in hopes of stopping their time but as he remembers.....undead¡¯s time cannot be stopped.
after realizing the mistake he has done, and the undead seemingly sensing his killing intent, began to run toward Light.
he instantly switched skills to that of <> and used it on both arms.
in his right arm, there stood a black coated silver heavy Pistol, with a dragon head on its barrel.
on the left, what appeared there was what seemed to be a long sword with Ancient Greek inscriptions similar to that of Cheshire¡¯s.
The bullets shot from the pistol flew in a straight ark while penetrating everything in its way, and the sword turned to ashes everything that its blade has touched.
although he was bitten a few time, he was able to turn back his body¡¯s time before he, himself turned into an undead.
Light wanted to use the same trick he used when dealing with Michiru, but unfortunately, his brain¡¯s processing abilities would not allow such thing.
his mind, screaming in pain over the heavy overload its been going through alongside Lights body, was soon reaching their limits.
but thankfully, Light cleared all the zombies in the nick of time before his mind and body gave up.
the 50 meter building floor could no longer be seen. it is either filled with blown up body parts that could no longer be recognized or covered with ashes.
Light decided to take a short break and then continue.
¡°but man....i hope this is just one neat trick and not Cheshire¡¯s betraying me.....i have yet to use that girl.¡±
muttered Light.
after finishing his short break, he began making way to the principle¡¯s office.
although he met with a small resistance, he was able to clear all those with zero problems.
upon reaching the principle¡¯s office, he opened its reinforced steel door with a bit of difficulty.
he immediately noticed the old, huge dusty computer that is installed within the center of the room.
he skips toward the computer in sheer joy of having his thirst of curiosity about to get filled and gaining a new toy.
it makes you forget that he was almost killed by hordes of undead just a few minutes ago.
Please Insert The Password.
he proceeds into inserting the password just as instructed in the screen.
as the window has suggested, i have used the password provided to me from Wolf¡¯s Notebook.
a screen filled with documents comes about and i began searching for the file called ¡®Project: Bloody Monday¡¯.
as soon as i found the file, i immediately clicked it without having any seconds thoughts.
but to my surprise.....all that was there was just these few words.
The White Rabbit Must be Killed Before Its Too Late.
while i was a bit puzzled about what that sentence meant, and why that sentence alone had tougher security than the pentagon.....all these questions were left unanswered; because before Light could think of such thoughts, he heard clapping sounds from right behind him.
he turned around, only to find silver hair flicker right infront of him while Light blue eyes pinned him down.
he was too shocked to even utter a sound....because what stood before him was none other than the person he himself saw die right infront of his eyes, and buried with his own two hands.
what stood before him was.......Wolf.
***
I decided to take master out of the room and into the cafeteria in order to treat him to a drink and calm him a bit down.
¡°I am sure you are quite confused about the reason why i¡¯m still alive.....¡±
¡°Of course! you died right before my two eyes....and i buried you with my own, two hands! why are you still alive.....?!¡±
ahh~to think i¡¯ll make Master this worried...and full of regret.
¡°Truly....i am truly sorry, Master!¡±
Light, not paying any attention to what Wolf just said, continue
¡°Did you know......? i had Cheshire use her necromancy skill to revive your body.....but it didn¡¯t work.....so how are you alive.....?¡±
¡°Ahh~ well.....its because i wasn¡¯t exactly dead when she used her skills on me....¡±
¡°wha~?! no, i¡¯m sure you were dead! i mean, your neck was severed from your body, y¡¯know?!¡±
¡°like this.......?¡±
as i said that, i took a knife from my pocked and sliced my neck open.
although it hurts very, very much, if its for master.....then its nothing.
***
Wolf, who was sitting right infront of me, suddenly took out a survival knife from his chest pocket and inserted into his neck.
with the knife still stuck in his neck, he continued
¡°as you can see.....i¡¯m an undead~!¡±
i was shocked to hear that.
no, it was still within the scope of my predictions but what left his mouth after that was even more of a shock that i couldn¡¯t help but hang my mouth wide open.
¡°~I¡¯m Cheshire from the future~!¡±

Act 1-13 Reunion
Around the same time that Wolf approached Light.
there was a shadow in one of the corners of the school.
to be exact, the southern area that is filled with what previously was classrooms, all that was remains now is shattered glass and broken down tables.
¡°I really wonder what Mister Hatter is doing.....¡±
the shadow suddenly jumped from the desk it used as a seat, and dusted off its clothes.
¡°Hey~Cheshire-Chan! it¡¯s about time we go meet him~no?¡±
another shadow emerges from the broken down door, which looks straight out of a zombie horror movie, with the blood marks all over the door.
no, it is a zombie but isn¡¯t exactly a movie.
this is reality.
that''s what Cheshire said to herself.
with her brain racing to the limit in order to avoid this reality¡¯s situation, where she has turned her back toward the
people who extended her hands, she felt like throwing up.
since in the end, weren¡¯t she the one who wished for a person to save her from that place?
wasn¡¯t she the one who took their hands and swore that she¡¯s going to be forever with them?
but in the end, she is but a human.
when her instincts told her she had to make a move, she did.
¡°Woah! Cheshire-chan, your dress looks so lovely~¡±
What Cheshire was currently wearing was not the usual school uniform, but a rather black dress.
you might ask what kind of dress, she would probably look more like.....a Gothloli.
with her black stocking and wearing an unusual pair of arm guards, she made her way out of the room.
¡°Man~ you sure are cold~¡±
said the blond girl.
the beautiful blond girl was wearing a white sweater that went beneath her knees. and wore some black pair of leg guards while carrying a staff that stood out very much, because of its unmatched colors between the small jewels which were blue and the center one, which was blood red.
they walked side by side, yet, they looked very unmatched.
they set their eyes on but a single goal, and that is the annihilation of the death game.
the destruction of wonderland.
what Alice has disclosed to Cheshire was that this school is called ¡®Wonderland¡¯.
it was created by the ¡®Queen¡¯ while the ¡®White Rabbit¡¯ invites the players.
it used to be something more...quiet.
but something peaked the interest of the white rabbit, which lead him into forcing the queen into making a field, in order to protect those who may pose a threat to the world.
Alice told Cheshire that she needed her....in order to destroy both the Queen and the White Rabbit.
i¡¯ve also heard that the Queen¡¯s objective is to also kill the White Rabbit....so i wonder why we have to kill both......?
upon Miss Alice¡¯s instructions, i have been killing all the students on our way and making them join my undead legion.....but can this stop the man who gave me my ability?
i don¡¯t know.
but the least i can try....right?
i don¡¯t want other people to become like me.
i think that Alice used my past as a bargaining chip. but i, myself want the person who did all of this to die.
so i¡¯ve bitten the hand that was extended to feed me.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.ahh....while thinking such self-despising thoughts, we¡¯ve reached the shelter.
¡°Go....enter that place.¡±
as i commanded my undead legion to enter the shelter, after making sure everyone is in, i used <> and the shelter blew skyhigh.
but then i heard a sudden laughter.
a laughter i am very familiar with.
a laughter that shouldn¡¯t be heard anymore.
¡°Nee~Cheshire-Chan! i¡¯m really relieved that you¡¯re.....actually alive~!! i was worried y¡¯know~ when Master suddenly said that you went missing~¡±
i turned around toward the nostalgic voice.
my eyes, who refused to acknowledge the person in front of me because he should already be dead.
when those eyes finally noticed that he¡¯s the real thing, they couldn¡¯t help but cry.
¡°Arara~ you¡¯re still such a cry baby.....no?¡±
while Wolf said that toward the dashing Cheshire.
Cheshire slammed into Wolf, and Wolf hugged the crying Cheshire with a smile in his face.
¡°Dammit! where were you, Cheshire?!¡±
and then, an angry Mister Hatter came running toward the both of them.
if an outsider were to see this scene, he couldn¡¯t say anything but that it was a heartwarming close friends reunion.
thats when She barged in.
she who wore a white sweater that went under her knees.
she who has blond hair.
she which is the last mark for Mister Hatter¡¯s revenge.
¡°Yo~ Long time no see, Light!¡±
it seems like she was hiding in the fire which i caused.
looks like she was waiting for her own cool entry scene?
now that the main server is gone up in the sky, the White Rabbit shouldn¡¯t be able to access the cameras set up on every corner in the school.
or at least that''s what Alice told me about the plan....
either way, Mister Hatter¡¯s expression suddenly darkened.
he looked downward as if trying to collect himself from the ground.
suddenly, his face shot up and was glaring at Alice.
his face showed extreme joy and anger.
it was truly a complex expression.
he bit his lips to the point where it started bleeding before starting to talk.
¡°Hey Alice......¡±
¡°Yeah?¡±
¡°would you please......die?¡±
while he said that, instantly brought out a gun from god knows where, and at the same time, a black hole appeared right behind us.
he shot the gun toward Alice while the black hole began swallowing everything near it.
that''s when i heard it.
¡°<<¦ª¦Á¦Ë? ¦Ó¦Á ¦Ð¦Í¦Å?¦Ì¦Á¦Ó¦Á ¦Ó¦Ï¦Ô ¦Ö¦É¦Ï¦Í¦É¦Ï?~¡±
while Alice, who already taken out her Staff began chanting, the weather took a sudden drastic change to the cold and from cold into freezing.
that''s when she finished her incantation ¡°~¦°¦¡¦£?¦²¦¥¦© ¦³¦¯¦ ¦ª¦¯¦²¦¬¦¯!>>¡±
and in that instant, the whole world literally froze.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author note: you can always Google Translate the incantations.
Also, i started writing a new fiction, and i think its super interesting! so make sure you give it a try, okay~?!
LIKE SRSLY PEOPLE, PLEASE READ IT~!!!
Act 1-14 The Day I Smiled Like a Joker.
¡°Nee~Dormouse-chan~! can you please prepare a lab for me~?¡±
¡°Its Shigure! but i¡¯ll make sure its done.¡±
¡°You have my thanks~!¡± after saying his thanks, he closed the phone and muttered ¡°i hope he leaves her body intact....¡±
everything before him was covered in snow.
no, rather frost should be a better phrasing, right?
since in the end, they are all targeting a single person.
countless sharp, ice sickles and ice burgs are guided, all toward a single target.
that said target is laughing.
he is laughing, just like a madman would.
with his narrowed jet black eyes, he is laughing.
can someone even remain sane in a situation like this?
The figure can only smile wryly at how his master is fighting.
***
¡°Hey hey hey! is this all you can do?! even after going ahead and freezing this whole place, why am i still alive!? there¡¯s not a single scratch on me! how can a weak person such as you even bother coming to kill me?!?!¡±
only an insane person would talk like that in a situation such as this.
but there was a good reason for that.
all the guided ice missiles somehow miss their target.
countless have been sent flying toward Light, but none has even got close to hitting him.
he was playing with his opponent in the truest sense.
¡°Even though i was surprised you could stop my black hole with something such as ice....just how did you do that? shouldn¡¯t the physics laws state that nothing can escape a black hole, and yet you froze it?? but that didn¡¯t do much, since in the end, all you did was stop an attack and not the attacker.¡±
a normal person wouldn¡¯t have the luxury to lecture another in such a predicament as his, but as he previously displayed, he earned that privilege.
but the same can go for the who is launching the attacks. She, Alice is wearing a bright smile.
its a smile that a teacher would show when their students have grown.
it was an unbefitting smile compared to the scene.
with a very happy tone, she said ¡°Very good! you¡¯re doing really good, Light!!¡±
if you haven¡¯t seen the situation first hand, you would never have thought that she was being one-sidedly beaten.
¡°Hmph. i have no idea what you¡¯re talking about....but this is ending now. <>¡±
after saying the skill¡¯s name, an invisible, dome like has taken its place.
its size seems to be 15 meters wide and 10 miters tall.
the only moving subjects........are three.
Light, Cheshire and Wolf.
the gun that Light used a few moments ago is nowhere to be seen, but a long sword has taken its place.
a Nodachi.
its a silver, one edged long sword.
but if there was something that stood out with it....it was the Greek inscriptions that are on the blade and hilt.
he took up the sword and got near Alice¡¯s unmoving body.
he took a stance and swung down.
but there were no sounds.
there were no wounds.
in the end, Light himself forgot that frozen particles cannot be harmed.

¡°<>¡±
he used his prided skill on the sword¡¯s blade.
he took his stance yet again, and swung down his blade.
this time, the blade went through as a hot knife through butter.
what the blade has went through.....was Alice¡¯s right leg.
The leg began bleeding while the Sword¡¯s tip was going through it, but as soon as the blade¡¯s lost contact with the severed thigh, the bleeding stopped.
Light quickly used <> in order to close the wound.
he repeated the same process with every limb.
of course, the severed limbs themselves turned into ashes.....
Cheshire removed her sight from the scene crying while biting her lips in helplessness while Wolf was watching with a smile in his face.
i stepped close to Alice and then disabled the <>
¡°a-a-a-a-a-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±
what she felt at the moment was....the pain of having 4 limbs severed at the same time.
after crying in agony for a bit, she fainted.
¡°<>¡±
while my hand was on top of her head, i used the skill yet again.
¡°a-a-a-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±
she cried yet again.
this time, in more pain and agony.
and yet again, she fainted.
¡°<>¡±
i changed my weapon back to that of my heavy pistol.
i could atleast kill her while she¡¯s awake........right?
so i decided to use ¡°<>¡±
and as soon as she woke up.
before she had the chance to cry out for the third time, i pointed the gun toward her brains and pulled the trigger.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Author note~!
I MIGHT NOT POST A CHAPTER TOMORROW OR THE DAY AFTER THAT! ((i''m going to be little busy. but hey, i might post one considering the situation in the next few days!))
Act 1-15 Dullahan
¡°Damn....its cold!¡±
After returning time back to its own, Light couldn¡¯t help but feel cold.
Since in the end, all he wore was his summer school uniform which consisted of black pants and a white shirt.
Light decided to look behind and as his companions about what to do now.
But to his surprise, Cheshire wasn¡¯t in sight.
He began looking to the other direction, where Alice¡¯s limbless and headless body lies.
There, he found wolf doing something to her remains, but Light didn¡¯t mind.
Since in the end, Wolf did ask for permission.
Although Light didn¡¯t know what he was going to do with it, he couldn¡¯t care less either because his long nemesis is dead now.
He felt very happy but with a faint loneliness.
That is, until he remembered that many have yet to face their own judgment.
Light raised his hand to his chin signaling his deep thoughts.
He began trying to recall where Cheshire went after he killed Alice, but to no avail.
He soon dropped his hand back to its place and called wolf asking for Cheshire¡¯s location.
¡°Ahh~ if its about Cheshire-Chan, then she already left y¡¯know~¡±
¡°Huh?¡±
I couldn¡¯t help but utter that weird sound.
Since in the end, wasn¡¯t this supposed to be their warmful reunion?
But what Light failed to notice, is that he has changed.
He no longer had the emotions of a human.
He couldn¡¯t comprehend the reason why Cheshire left.
He couldn¡¯t comprehend that his obsession with torturing those who played petty pranks on him were no longer human.
Indeed, he has started turning into something......something Inhuman.
¡°Master, do you want to see something interesting?¡±
¡°Sure?¡±
¡°<<¦ª¦Á¦Ë? ¦Ó¦Á ¦É¦Å¦Ñ? ¦Ð¦Í¦Å?¦Ì¦Á¦Ó¦Á ¦Ó¦Ø¦Í ¦Í¦Å¦Ê¦Ñ?¦Í~¡±
While he was chanting, an earthquake occurred.
No, it should be more precise to say that the earth is trembling with Wolf¡¯s incantation.
"~¦¡¦Ê?¦Õ¦Á¦Ë¦Ç ¦¦Å¦Ê¦Ñ??!>>"
After saying that, the limbless, headless body began moving.
The ashes bellow us also began moving toward the body.
A tornado made out of ashes appeared with the lifeless body at its center with a ~Woosh sounds.
Surprisingly, there were no winds despite the sounds its making.
The lack of wind was unnatural when seeing a tornado in front of you.
Light felt eerily restless at the unnatural event.
That''s when the tornado suddenly stopped.
It did not blow away nor scatter, it just disappeared.
Its like it was never there to begin with, just an illusion that suddenly lost its effects.
And what came out of it was a headless figure wearing a white sweater.
The white sweater went bellow its knees. Indeed, what was standing there at the moment was the headless figure of Alice.
With all its limbs back together, holding her head between her hands was the figure of the person i tore apart from limb to limb and killed a few minutes ago.
The head in the hands of the headless Alice suddenly opened its mouth.
¡°W-why am i still alive?! shouldn¡¯t i be dead after completing my mission!?¡±
a shiver ran through Light when he saw the bodiless head talking.
indeed, he has once saw it from a far when Cheshire has done it, but he never it was this disgusting when it happened right next to him.
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.Wolf, who saw Light¡¯s disturbed face began laughing.
¡°H-hey Wolf! why is she alive?!?¡±
¡°A-ahahahahaha, W-well, in order to explain how time travel actually works, i-i¡±
he suddenly stopped and continued laughing.
this guy......
it took a few minutes for him to recover before continuing
¡°Truly Master, this is the first time i have seen you make that kind of face....so i couldn¡¯t help but to laugh, so I¡¯m sorry! either way, it¡¯ll be a lot simpler to explain time travel with her around~¡±
¡°W-what do you mean?¡±
After Light asked that, Wolf signaled Alice to come closer.
Light took out his gun in preparation to shoot down Alice, Who returned her head to its own place while she
drew closer. but Wolf also signaled Light with a motion in order to not shot her.
Light lowered his gun unsatisfied.
with a fake cough in order to light the mood, Wolf continued ¡°As you might know, Master, is that there are two ways to
time travel, right?¡±
¡°Yeah,
Type A: You send your conscious along side your memories from the future to the past.
Type B: You send your physical body to the past.¡±
after answering Wolf, he began explaining it in details with ¡°Exactly! you¡¯re quite knowledgeable, Master!! as you have said, Type A is the one you send you memories to your past self. this is the one method that people are recommended to do because it does not create any time paradox, since in the end, you are only giving out information. while in Type B, you send your physical body back to the past which would normally result in a paradox which would eliminate said universe.¡±
Light interrupted Wolf and said ¡°In that case, shouldn¡¯t you not be existing right now? heck, shouldn¡¯t that go to everything here??¡±
¡°Muu~ i was just getting to that point!¡± said Wolf while pouting his checks and continued ¡°That''s why, the universe turned me into a guy!¡±
¡°huh? what does you being a guy has to do with anything??¡±
¡°Ugh....you already forgot? i¡¯m...y¡¯know...? Cheshire from the future, does it ring any bells?¡±
¡°I¡¯m just joking. anyhow, go ahead.¡±
¡°As i was saying, for the sake of the universe not to go into oblivion just like that, it has a mechanism similar to that of auto correct. it¡¯ll make small but significant changes to the person going to the past or the future, because two of the same existence can¡¯t be in the same place at the same time, right? so that thingy changed my gender!¡±
¡°I.....i got it. now then, why does this thing have to do with any of this?¡±
¡°That''s because~She¡¯s also from the future!¡±
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author note:
With this, Act I of the fiction is over!
PS. those who actually cared to Translate the incantation should have realized that it means "Headless Undead" in this case, its Dullahan, thus the chapter''s title.
PS.S. it feels like im milking the ending....right?
im sorry! but this has been within the plan all along, but i couldn''t think of a new way to say "alice is from the future" except for that! *more like i was lazy*
Special Chapter 1: Lights Interview.
Author Note: as for why i''m posting this chapter.....well, Yesterday, my Fiction''s rating was 3.92~! i was quite happy about that rating honestly.....but i really don''t care about ratings! although, when i woke up today, i saw that my rating has fell down to 3.4.......
so i got mad, because the person himself who made my rating go down that much has yet to say the reason why so. i am not mad because he made my rating fall down, i am mad because he saw something dissatisfying and yet, he didn''t say it for me to fix. so i took it upon my hands, and thought of a few things that he might have hated.
he might have hated the plot. he might have hated my grammar and spelling. or he might have hating that i actually kill people here without even caring.......well, i doubt you''re reading, the one who made that rating, but if you do! please tell me what disappointed you and got you angry so that i can fix it. i apologize for writing this much, and i honestly write this fiction for my own self satisfaction, but to see people enjoy it is another blessing. other than that, here''s a special chapter~!
PS. this has nothing to do with the story. As in, this has never really happened in the current timeline, although the stuff mentioned here did.
WARNING: this chapter has a couple of skills mentioned that Light have yet to use. read at your own risk~!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
¡°Ladies and Gentlemen! today, the news reporting club have done their best to interview the most potent killers of the week! they have been running berserk all week long, so why not let them explain exactly how can they murder their opponents in the most gruesome way that they are able to! our first guest is Shindou Light!¡±
From facing the camera, the student interviewer turned to face the seated figure~Light.
With his legs crossed, Light introduced himself.
¡°Welcome to the show, Light! you first made your appearance in the arena, is that correct?¡±
¡°That is correct.¡±
Light answered with a bit of a motivated voice, but with a tingling feeling of exhaustion.
¡°Mister Light, i¡¯m really sorry, but i¡¯m going to have to rush this a bit and go on to the main subject, is that alright with you?¡±
¡°Of course! please do so.¡±
Light felt relieved that they were rushing, because he is a bit tired himself.
¡°Now then......would you please tell us exactly how can you kill? to be more specific, tell us exactly how you would kill in the most gruesome way you can think of, with your powers of course~!¡±
¡°Err, can i say more than one method?¡±
¡°Of course! we were about to ask you that ourselves. please, go ahead~¡±
¡°Well then, as you might have realized....or not, i have made the contestant Michiru disappear out of nowhere, correct?¡±
¡°Exactly! thats something alot of our fans have asked us about in our social media account to tell you! so exactly how did you do it? and if possible, where is the location of Michiru¡¯s corpse?¡±
Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.
Light adjusted his seating position and bent closer to the interviewer as if he was going to tell her a secret
¡°To tell you the truth, one of the most potent skills i have is the ability to create a black hole. i used that on Michiru....and you can see exactly the result.¡±
¡°Indeed! that does explain exactly why there was a lack of a corpse even with the school¡¯s GPS tracking system! now then, what other skills do you have?¡±
¡°Well.....i am also able to input a curse onto a person that makes them experience their deaths forever and ever. it is a
very interesting skill, but i have yet to use it because it doesn¡¯t let me see their expressions. it is a skill i am sure to use if i ever capture a prisoner.¡±
¡°Indeed, that does sound horrible~! now then, as for the last skill for the day?¡±
¡°Yes! this is one of the most messiest skills i have, and thats <>¡±
after saying the skill¡¯s name, Light paused for a bit out of hesitation.
but then, he continued ¡°It¡¯s a skill that lets me revert someone¡¯s body to that of naught. It is where i begin turning someone¡¯s body, cell by cell, to zero. You will feel as if someone is ripping apart your being from the inside out, and it will hurt Alot just imagine! if your hand was being cut, little by little, one second, its your nail, then another second its the middle part of the finger and then the base! repeat that to every finger!! then go ahead and do that to every part of your body. now ten time that pain and lower the cutting parts to a femto level! and of course, everything will be going at slow motion for you.....¡±
¡°As you have said, that is truly a very vicious Skill! but this is all the time we have for the day....¡± while saying so, the interviewer stands up and heads toward Light¡¯s seat while looking disappointed.
Light also stands up from his seat and extends his right hand.
the interviewer also extended his right hand and gave Light a handshake while saying ¡°Thanks for joining us on this week¡¯s episode, Mister Light! the same goes to you, the viewers as well! stay tune for next week¡¯s episode if you enjoyed this one! till next time~!¡±
while the interviewer says his goodbyes, the curtains fall and the program is changed to that of a talent show.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author Note: this would be a short one. if you enjoyed it, tell me so and i will write one about Wolf and Alice in the near future~! not to mention, it''ll be a longer one because those two abilities are not known! i wrote this one in a hurry after all...... and also, i am going to write another chapter tonight.....
Act 2-1 X
Author note: Ugh...!
Light has just received 9999 Damage to his motivation...! Remaining motivation 1 Initiating protocol New readers attraction COMMENCE OPERATION
I hope you enjoy the new chapter of the new act!
it''s full of new characters~!!!
enjoy~!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
¡¸A-and the winner is, X!¡¹
the excited deceleration of the announcer seemed to announce the end of the match.
the crowd burst into a clapping fit and excited cheers could be heard all over the place.
not a single person have been seen jeering.
it sounded out of place, because what appeared to be the young person has just defeated 15 men singlehandedly, you¡¯d expect some fans to be mad, no?
but on a closer inspection, you¡¯d realize that the cheering crowds are nothing but dummies--dolls.
The young person--X was currently wearing a black suit with a black Guy Fawkes mask on his face.
with his black leather shoes, he kicked up his feet and proceeded to the waiting room¡¯s direction.
as he was about enter the dark tunnel that leads to the waiting rooms, he turned back toward the crowds and holograms and said ¡¸For those who are still alive. Those who are at the top 50. Those who are the last survivors of this two and a half years long game. Those who have the title of the strongest. And those who are merciless toward killings. Be warned, i am here to win. and i am going to be after every single one of you.¡¹
the crowd that is made from dolls, continued to clap, while his mechanical voice was carried over throughout the
coliseum.
X was suddenly pushed down as soon as he entered the waiting room.
he looked up and saw a black haired beauty.
¡°Woah! you¡¯ve done great, X~!¡±
¡°Please get off me.¡±
¡°Ehh~don¡¯t wanna!¡±
X pushed away the beauty who made a dissatisfied expression away from him.
The girl looked to be around her early 20s, she had a great body with all the nice curves at the right places.
she had a figure that would make any woman burn in jealousy, and not to mention, she had a huge valley nested in her chest.
her clothes, were unexpectedly, a leather jacket and a jet black pants that were as dark as her hair.
normally, you¡¯d think of a person being weird for wearing black for everything, but it strangely looked good at her.
X stood up from his place and opened the locker besides a little ways from the place the woman was at.
he took out a bag and threw it toward the woman while holding one himself, he then began instructing her about leaving.
the woman answered with an ¡°Okay~¡±
if an outsider were to see this, he would really be doubting that woman¡¯s mentality health.
but in the end, her cutesy behavior was something uncommon in this place, so it was acceptable.
¡°Hey! where the hell do you think you¡¯re going?!¡±
thats when a student broke through the ceiling toward X¡¯s waiting room.
Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.the student is called ¡®Amamiya Hiro¡¯.
he wore the normal Student uniform while having his hair bleached blond.
he hand 3 piercings on his right ear and two on the left.
¡°Rank 21, huh...¡±
Muttered X.
Hiro suddenly dashed toward X, but the woman thew the bag to the side and interrupted Hiro.
Hiro jumped to the back and the woman took a step forward and swung her right arm.
Hiro subconsciously crouched and delivered a punch toward the woman¡¯s abdomen to the side
or at least that was what supposed to have happened, but Hiro was surprised when he felt a sharp pain run through his closed fist.
¡°Hey~Hey~your reflexes sure are great! it sure would¡¯ve saved you from a lot of death situations with that kind of reflexes, but unfortunately......it just caused your doom?¡±
while saying that, the woman titled her head and began laughing at her own joke.
Hiro didn¡¯t care about what she said and instead looked toward his fist.
his fist was currently being held by the woman¡¯s left hand, but when Hiro pulled, she let go of it.
he looked closer and discovered that there was a cut wound in the space between the finger.
he tried opening his fists but then the woman answered in a teasingly manner ¡°It wont work y¡¯know~ your hand will never be opened by your own well ever again~ since in the end, i severed the nerves of your hand~Thats why you no longer feel the pain right~? You only felt it when you were stabbed, right? Right ?¡±
indeed, Hiro only felt the strong sharp pain when she held his fist, but after that, nothing.
Hiro didn¡¯t know exactly how the woman did it, nor did he knew the weapon the woman had.
Hiro made the snap decision and decided not to dwell on it, but rather focus at the task in hand.
¡°Tch!¡±
Hiro clicked his tongue in irritation upon his miscalculation.
he wasn¡¯t planning on revealing his ace in the hole, the one skill he planned to save his energy for in order to get X.
¡°I planned on slamming you this on point blank, but....¡±
as Hiro said that, he began casting.
¡°<<¦ª¦Á¦Ë? ¦Ó¦Á ¦Ð¦Í¦Å?¦Ì¦Á¦Ó¦Á ¦Á¦Ð? ¦Ó¦É? ¦Õ¦Ë?¦Ã¦Å?~¡±
while he was saying that, Hiro¡¯s body began to glow in a yellowish red.
it looked like the sun itself was reflecting light off Hiro¡¯s body.
¡°~¦¯¦Ë¦É¦Ê? ¦Ê¦Á¦Ó¦Á¦Ò¦Ó¦Ñ¦Ï¦Õ?!>>
and the coliseum on that moment went sky high.
it was set ablaze, sent flying and in the end blown up.
motionless burnt dolls were everywhere.
the rubble was enormous.
only three figures were left standing.
no, three figures is a bit wrong....but two figures were standing while the other is on the ground.
The one on the ground was........Hiro.
¡°Ohh? Well Done, Ai.¡±
X praised The woman called Ai.
¡°Damn.....to emerge scratch less........is this the power of someone within the top 5......?!¡±
after Hiro finished saying that, the woman in black, Ai, approached Hiro¡¯s collapsed body and stabbed its neck alongside the rubble underneath him.
As for exactly what happened, Ai cut the explosion in half, which created a gap for her and X to be safe.
Act 2-2 Midas
Killing is a sin.
how much have we heard those words?
not to mention, aren¡¯t those hypocrite religious guys kill in the name of their god?
so is it a sin, or a mission given to us by god?
but then again, don¡¯t we kill in wars?
those who kill in wars are referred to as heroes.
are they sinners? or are they our saviors?
now a days, if someone is killed, they are either jailed for their life or they are sentenced to the electric chair or perhaps the lethal injection. does the one who flips the trigger a sinner? is the one who gave the order a sinner? or maybe the one who judged the one his punishment?
if someone were to kill another for defense purposes, why aren¡¯t they punished? they, in the end, took a soul....correct?
to begin with, don¡¯t animals have souls?
not to mention, isn¡¯t it the same for plants?
and if we¡¯re going that way, the same goes to bacteria and viruses.
yet, don¡¯t we kill them all for our own survival?
i am not trying to defend anyone....its more like i am trying to justify my actions.
the answer i came after thinking my best, is that a ¡®sin¡¯ is addicting.
just like how the law is broken all the time, isn¡¯t the barrier called ¡®sin¡¯ excites people?
in the end, did we create these barriers~these walls we call limits in order to feel pleasure from breaking them?
in conclusion, i do not believe in something called god.
i do not believe in a higher being.
and i do not believe in science.
something exists because it simply does.
i will not seek answers, nor will i question anything.
if i am going to ¡®sin¡¯, i will do it while showing respect to the soul i am extinguishing.
ahh, although i do not believe in god or a higher being, i do believe something like a ¡®soul¡¯ exists.
now then, i do not plan on changing a subject here, but have you heard of king Midas?
he is perhaps one of the most known Kings in Greek history. The Phrygian city Midaeum was named after him, and not to mention, he founded Ancyra.
That Midas, died a very unusual death.
no no, the cause of the death was nothing unusual at all actually.
the cause is starvation.
what is interesting is, why he starved.
i mean, how come a king that famous suddenly starve to death?
not to mention, he died in his castle.
and time is........up!
he actually died because everything he touched turned to gold.
and by everything, i mean everything.
all the food he ever touched turned to gold.
the glass of water and the water inside it turned to gold.
as for why i¡¯m mentioning him......is that i am the same.
¡°WOAH?! NOAH! DON¡¯T YOU DARE TOUCH THE ANYTHING! INCLUDING THE FLOORS AND THE GROUND!!!¡±
¡°Ahh....i already know.¡±
¡°we¡¯re at the 20th floor, i don¡¯t want this building to be turned into ash and us falling down to our death. alright?¡±
¡°Argh......i already told you that i know....¡±
phew, that totally killed my train of thoughts.
where was i.....?
ahh, yes.
everything i touch turns to ash.
that is....with the exception of leather.
now then, i really don¡¯t know why i cant turn leather to ash, but i simply cant.
so i am currently wearing leather on everything.
but because i hate the color black.....i got it all painted in white.
so, i am currently wearing white.
white leather.....
ohh, i also cant turn wood and wires to ash for some reason as well.
so, i cant turn wood, wires and leather to ash.
as for why.....i really don¡¯t know.
ahh, you don¡¯t know what Shiho looks like, right?
she is a very particular woman.
this is coming from a human enthusiast, so you could atleast believe my words, right?
anyhow, all she wears is a black dress.
the polar opposite of what i¡¯m wearing.
well, that isn¡¯t accurate because what i¡¯m wearing is more similar to a suit than a dress.....i¡¯m sorry for not being able to crossdress.
she also wears make up!
although, her makeup is also black.
the only thing that isn¡¯t dark is her hair.
its crimson red.
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
her attire is something that will attract unwanted attention because of its poor coordination.
although...anyone dared to comment on it will never see the light ever again.
i really hope those souls have moved on.
ahh, this is bad, i¡¯m losing focus on the real world and getting blinded by my thoughts.
this is why i shouldn¡¯t be in this game.......i lose focus pretty easily.
¡°We¡¯re here.¡±
i move my eyes toward the place Shiho is pointing.
Woah!
what the hell?
why is a heavy steel door doing here.....?
isn¡¯t this supposed to be one of the few skyscrapers in the academy?
then why does it have such a heavy looking door in its top floor....?
ahh, before you get any wrong ideas.
this is indeed a skyscraper in the academy, the academy rented a space to a cooperation for support, and they fund the academy from the food we get to the chalk used in classes.
although....its been left abandoned after the incident that got us all here two and half years ago.
Shiho begins approaching the door, and pushes it inward.
¡°Damn...this thing wont even budge. Hey, why don¡¯t you try?¡±
she turned toward me and said that.
¡°Ehh....i can¡¯t really push it you know? i mean, even your superhuman strength couldn¡¯t....¡±
¡°I don¡¯t mean that you idiot! turn the thing to smithereens!¡±
¡°Ahh...totally forgot about that.¡±
i approached the huge steel door and took off my gloves.
i rest my palms on the door.
its....its cold.
or atleast thats what its supposed to feel, but it disappeared before it could transmit its temperature.
¡°Eww.......there¡¯s ash all over my feet...you know i cant clean it right....? since even water turns to ash....¡±
i complained as i took both of my feet out of the ash.
the ashes are reaching up to my ankle....its really disgusting.
i put back my gloves while Shiho walks past me, paying no heed to the ash.
¡°Mida, lets go.¡±
we started walking in the room.
ahh....its an office.
there are two couches and in the middle of them is a table.
not to mention, there¡¯s a table on the far side of the office right besides the window.
just behind the table, there¡¯s a huge chair.
its one of those that you see in a CEO¡¯s office in TV dramas.
its turned to face the window, so i¡¯m not sure if there is someone sitting on it. but i doubt anyone is......but to my
surprise, we started hearing someone¡¯s clapping.
and its coming from the chair¡¯s direction.
thats when an unfamiliar voice was heard in the mix of clapping.
¡°Wow! Thee have done a very good job on the door!¡±
in a sarcastic tone nonetheless.
i wasn¡¯t exactly shocked y¡¯know....i really wasn¡¯t!
¡°I¡¯ve finally found you........Rabbit.¡±
Shiho¡¯s voice was trembling in anger when she said that.
¡°Thee shouldn¡¯-----¡±
just before it could finish its sentence, Shiho, with her superhuman strength, punched right through the chair.
¡°Oi?! isn¡¯t this supposed to be the final boss scene?! why the hell are you punching through the last boss before he even finishes his evil introduction?!?!?!?!¡±
damn!
i retorted subconsciously
¡°Tch! in the end, its a doll?!¡±
she quickly lifted her arm, which torn the chair even more, and got the figure that she punched through hanging in the air.
it indeed looked like a doll, like those found in the coliseum.
¡°Ha-ha-ha-ha¡±
it laughed mechanically.
but soon enough, it regained its human speech pattern.
¡°Thee.....let us see if thee is able to survive this?¡±
after the doll said that unemotionally, Shiho quickly shouted ¡°Run through the window!¡± and my body moved on its own and jumped through it.
wait.....isn¡¯t this usually the scene the doll is exploding?
if that was the case....then why didn¡¯t she throw the doll through the window instead?
just as i had these silly thoughts, the whole building exploded and pushed both me and Shiho toward the building beside the one we just jumped from.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author Note: as some of you have noticed, this is indeed set 6 months after the events of Act 1.
Act 2-3 Speed
Author Note: Some of you might have already forgot about it, and i do not have the ability to actually draw a map! so, i¡¯ll say it again. the cafeteria¡¯s location is the southern part of the academy, while the principle¡¯s building is at the central area.....so it¡¯ll take atleast 40 minutes from the cafeteria to the principle¡¯s.
also, i have yet to proof read this, nor will i even do it tonight....been stuck in the autumn fair for about 4 hours, not to mention another 4 hours in traffic, and its already past midnight, so i''m quite tired.....sorry.
anyhow, enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¡°Only a few days have went by....and yet, how come i can''t see any students? even though there was a mass panic the other day.......perhaps they¡¯re all hiding?¡±
i said that after taking a look inside the cafeteria.
the always busy cafeteria is creepily empty......not a s single sound can be heard.
i decided to go out and head to the principal¡¯s place instead.
well, even though i say i¡¯m going to head there.....i¡¯m already here?
as in, i am already in the principle¡¯s place.
¡°Oh my.......¡±
what stood before me were huge stones.
the stones that previously made the building are all on the ground. colored......green.
its a very strange color, an emerald green.
i mean, its very hard to achieve.......
either way, i started looking about...until i found something strange.
¡°Is that.....a bone?¡±
just as i approached it, i noticed more bones scattered around.
¡°If i remember correctly.....doesn¡¯t blood turn into emerald green with enough time and exposure to sunlight....? i remember that being taught in biology class...¡±
i hoped from the bottom of my heart that those were just bottomless worries.
but soon enough.......i uncovered something that¡¯ll force open my eyes toward the truth.
¡°A human skull....¡±
and with that, i have determined that these people were mass-murdered.
even though it has only been a few days since we¡¯ve turned up here.....why do people kill?
its all so meaningless.....but the least i can do is see to the truth.
i......i shall stop the person who is agitating my fellow students into murdering each other.
i have always dreamed of becoming a super hero, y¡¯know?
and my favorite super hero is flash!
to think i¡¯d gain an ability similar to his....how can i not use it for good?
and with that, i decided it was time to call an old friend.
¡°If it was that information geek.....then she should know who did all this....right?¡±
ahh!
before i forget, i better get myself some weapons.
thank god i prepared for this.....
i head back toward the dorm....only to find it in ruins as well.
¡°DAMMIT! WHY IS EVERYTHING IN RUINS HERE?!?!?!¡±
i stomp my feet in anger.
¡°AHH!!!¡±
i need to calm down!
breath in~fuu
breath out~~fuu
Alright!
¡°it¡¯s alright! i¡¯ve hidden it behind the dorm, so hopefully its still there!¡±
as i said that, i quickly moved to the back of what previously was a building.
my sights fell upon the bird bath that miraculously survived.
although.....its covered in filth.
¡°Now then....i need to dig under that....¡±
i began looking for a shovel, but gave up soon enough after looking at the rubble behind me.
i began digging at the hard soil with my bare hands.
my hands began bleeding when i heard a ~Diing! sound.
¡°Finally! its my survival-kit! i never thought i¡¯d actually use it....but thank god i risked going to jail for it!¡±
i quickly opened it.
and what was there....was a dual short swords.
i somehow had these smuggled by a very close friend of mine......
now then, should i head out?
i quickly equipped the short swords on my belt and opened my phone.
¡°Hopefully....she¡¯s alive and her number is not dead.¡±
i am currently calling the person i am the most indebted for.
it is the person who is an information geek and a well connected person both underground and above ground.
ahh!
she picked up!!
¡°Shigure! long time no see! although its only been a few days...¡±
¡°A few days? are you high on something?? ITS BEEN ALMOST FUCKING 3 YEARS YOU LITTLE FUCK!¡±
woah!
what the hell?
why is she shouting at me like that...?
¡°C-calm down! what do you mean? its only been a few days since we¡¯ve been here, right? ....actually, don¡¯t answer that, it¡¯ll just be a waste of time. anyhow, i just saw the stuff near the principle¡¯s place....and there are alot of bodies there. do you.....by any chance, know who did this?¡±
¡°Screw you! you contact me for the first time in three years and this?!........... i do indeed have that information......but why do you want to know that? don¡¯t tell me, you¡¯re finally going to fulfill your idiotic dream of becoming a super hero?¡±
¡°What?! of course not! .......maybe a bit. but you know....i can¡¯t really give a person that killed so many people roam free. i must avenge the fallen souls....yes....i¡¯m an avenger!¡±
¡°Haa......well anyhow, i¡¯ll tell you what you want. but be warned, you will be killed in the process. my advice here is, to close the call right this instant and continue with your life in hiding.¡±
¡°I don¡¯t care!¡±
Its not like i can be killed anyhow!
no one is faster than me after all.
i¡¯ll just end them before they have a chance to even launch an attack.
in the end, my power is speed.
¡°alright then.....if you want to meet that person, you¡¯ll have to head toward the place where you found the bodies. i¡¯ll arrange a meeting between the two of you.¡±
¡°Ehh~? why don¡¯t you just tell me who and his location and i¡¯ll finish it in an instant~!¡±
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
¡°It¡¯s because he doesn¡¯t sit in a single place that i cant do that. so you¡¯ll have to bare with me on this. also, don¡¯t forget what i have told you.....if you want to live, do not show up. this is truly my final warning. you are a dear friend of mine, and
i don¡¯t want to see you killed. atleast until you repay your debts that is.¡±
¡°Ahahaha! no worries, i can¡¯t die before i get even with you, right?¡±
after i said that, Shigure began laughing.
although....it sounded like a very lonely laughter.
i instantly turned up to the principle¡¯s office.....and no one¡¯s here.
¡°Well.....didn¡¯t i actually turn up pretty early?¡±
as i said that, i quickly checked the time on my phone.
it has indeed been....only a second.
¡°What.....2015........?! it really has been 2 years!?¡±
just as i have been dumbfounded, i heard a person¡¯s footsteps not so far from here.
all i could say is.....they have a very terrible timing. i need time to stomach this....
i mean, its only been a few seconds since i gave the call to Shigure.....so has he been keeping an eye on me?
that''s when a figure turned up.
it was the figure of a black haired man.
his eyes were black as well.
his face....wasn¡¯t bad, but wasn¡¯t noteworthy either.
and yet....i felt danger from that ordinary looking person.
he moved his hands upward.....and started clapping.
all of my body cells are screaming to kill him already; that he is too dangerous to leave alive.
that figure opened its mouth and said ¡°Light speed abili--¡±
before he could continue his speech, i quickly moved behind him, he who was 40m away from me, and sliced his head off.
but.....he wasn¡¯t there.
¡°i.....i lost in terms of speed.....?!¡±
i said that after taking a look around for his location and i was shocked, but he, who was in my previous location opened his mouth yet again and began saying ¡°You know! it¡¯s very rude to slash at someone when he¡¯s tal--¡±
i instantly ran infront of him, and thrust my twin swords in.
¡°this time....i felt it! stabbing flesh....what a strange feeling! you¡¯re dead now, right?! i do not know exactly how you
moved faster than me, but if you¡¯re dead, then there¡¯s no hel.....ping......it?¡±
even though, i should have thrust a blade into his heart, and another through his lung....
¡°H-how....how can you still move.....?!¡±
¡°Hey hey...didn¡¯t i just tell you that stabbing someone while they¡¯re talking is rude? anyhow, is this truly the justice you feel right? i mean, aren''t you just killing me because i killed those people? do you even know those people who were killed? why are you even trying to avenge them??"
the figure, which had two swords stabbed within very vital areas talked. no.......he kept a barrage of questions coming at me. and then he continued
¡°Did you know? that a person is able to live without a heart for a full 7 minutes! but that is irrelevant. do you want to know exactly why you are suddenly two years in the future? do you??¡±
¡°huh.......? what¡¯re you talking about?! why aren¡¯t you dead?!!?¡±
i was too dumbfounded to even answer his questions.
¡°Ahh...c¡¯mon! don¡¯t be like the rest....and here i thought i had my hands with another interesting toy....but to think you turned to be a fool. i¡¯m bored, i don¡¯t need you. but for piquing my curiosity, i¡¯ll answer the last question you had in mind before dying. and that is, how the hell did you come to the future? it should have been only a few hours....or maybe days to you? the answer is actually quite simple! your power is that of traveling in the speed of light!! wanna know a fun fact? i bet you do....don¡¯t you?¡±
while he said that, the man, who should be dead, revealed a very disgustingly creepy smile.
¡°Ehh~? you won¡¯t answer?? argh....fine. i¡¯ll tell you whether you want to hear or not, so anyhow. the thing is, did you know that when traveling in the speed of light....you body is actually moving-and this might sound a bit stupid- faster than the earth¡¯s rotation? now then, if that is the case.....that¡¯ll explain exactly why a few moments for you, is actually quite a long time here. quite the intriguing subject, no? although i want to go deeper into the subject....i¡¯m rather pretty busy, so i¡¯ll have you do me a favor and.....die?¡± ((i''ll explain this in more detail in the author note at the bottom.))
just as he said that, i instantly removed my hands from the hilt of the swords and began making my escape.
¡°ITS USELESS~! since in the end, stopping time means stopping the velocity!¡±
and just like that, the young man suddenly appeared infront of me.
¡°<>¡±
he muttered that while i took a U-turn and ran in the opposite direction.
but before i knew it.......a sharp pain ran through my legs and i fell down.
and by a sharp pain.....its too sharp.....for me....to.......think.................any......or............
¡°AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡±
The young hero wanna-be looked toward his lower body while screaming on the top of his throat in pain.
his throat began spelling blood from the heavy strain of the shouting, while his body began disappearing.
little by little, he began to shrink.
little by little, he lost his body.
little by little, until nothing was left behind.

Author note: about the justice guy''s power.
the thing is, his time does not apply the same as the time on earth, because his speed is higher than the earth''s rotation.
now then, the earth''s rotation around itself is 1 day.
if you move faster than that, as in as fast as the speed of light, your cells wont age the same as those on earth, not to mention, nor will your memory.
so a few days for justice guy is actually a couple of years on earth.
Act 2-4 The Ability to Control Time
Author note: i couldn''t come up with a better title for the chapter.
so the title might or might not relate to this chapter......since i wrote the title based on the first 500 words of the chapter......anyhow, enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever thought that Gods might exist?
i never actually believed in gods.
even though i''m Japanese.....i don¡¯t really believe in gods.
it isn¡¯t that i believe in the power of science or anything, nor do i believe in aliens.
i mean, if you take a current smart phone to maybe, 30 years in the past, won¡¯t you be hailed as a god?
such thoughts prevent me from believing in gods.
what i believe in.......is time.
that which controls time is an absolute existence.
such is my belief.
in the end....no matter how much you pry to the so called gods, they never answer your call.
and i incredibly hate those who credit the gods for others accomplishments.
heck, the impossible is currently happening.
don¡¯t people think that raising the dead is something only a god is able to do?
i currently know two people who are able to do such things.
yet......why aren¡¯t they gods?
something called a god cannot exist.
someone who can control time cannot exist either.
yet......can¡¯t i control time?
does that mean.....i am a god?
that might be so, but i¡¯m going to bet that in the near future, a genius scientist is going to invent a time machine.
is that person.......a god?
alas, he is human.
in the end, did not someone create them?
in the end, didn¡¯t someone, out there, give them their powers?
in the end, i do not believe there is someone who is called an absolute being.
in the end, aren¡¯t i, the being able to control time, aren¡¯t absolute?
so in conclusion, i am human.
a human can die.
a human is variable.
but....isn¡¯t controlling time, a solution for these problems?
thus, a paradox is born.
is a human god?
or is a god human?
or perhaps......neither of them exists?
but at that possibility, wont gods also exist along side humans, as a different beings?
yet, i do not believe in them.
but at the same time, i do believe in humanity.
now a days, people are concluding that the beginning of time is from the big bang.
now then, if you suddenly reverse time to before the big bang......then what happens?
what exactly cause the big bang?
no one knows.
but here is what i think....just like how you put a lid over a bottle of water in order to not let it spell, the same concept can be said about time. before the big bang, time wasn¡¯t flowing.
or.....a lid was put to prevent time from flowing over.
but then, something unexpected happened.
time overflew from the so called bottle, which caused the universe to be made.
no......it allowed the universe to ¡®expand¡¯.
just like now, right at this moment, the universe is expanding.
do you know why.....?
because time is ¡®flowing¡¯.
so in conclusion, although i am able to control time, i am but a human.
but, time is absolute.
with such thoughts, i was humming; humming while walking toward my destination.
¡°Speaking about destination......wasn¡¯t there a movie called final destination? that was a fun series to watch. those Americans, they have their ways with the movies. but then again, that itself can relate to this
situation....hopefully, Shigure¡¯s information is spot on like always.¡±
¡°Of course it is, Master!¡±
¡°But if she can truly see the future....won¡¯t she avoid us?¡±
¡°that might be the case! but then again, she might have seen something in our future that requires her to help us. either way, its a gamble...¡±
¡°If you put it that way, then if she avoids us, it means its something that is disadvantageous toward her, no?¡±
¡°Of course, Master! since in the end, every man for himself, right?¡±
Just as we had our usual conversations, a small, Old Japanese tea house came into view.
both me and Wolf approached it, and it seems a sign is hanged around the door that reads ¡®The Tea Club¡¯
i knock on the door and say my name and purpose.
Wolf does the same while complaining that she might have already know that we¡¯re coming.
before waiting for an answer, we both barge in.
what awaited us was a girl in a wheel chair sipping on some tea.
she had white skin that revealed her lack of sunlight, while her white hair, which went perfectly well with her skin, sat still.
her white hair has been cut to shoulder length, which Light looked upon quite disappointingly.
If her hair was a bit longer, it¡¯ll match her perfectly....
her figure, which could only be called slim, revealed her lack of nutrition.
she looked like skin above bone, with no meat at all.
but then again, it wont appear as such unless you really focus your eyes toward her faults.
she focused her ice-blue eyes on Light¡¯s black eyes.
Light revealed a refreshing smile, thinking about the experiment he has in mind.
the girl opened her mouth as if to say something, but closed it yet again.
¡°It seems like she¡¯s a very timid girl...¡±
Muttered Wolf.
the girl seemed to not have noticed Wolf¡¯s comment, and not to mention, Light himself noticed that the girl¡¯s teacup was shaking.
it seems that the girl was indeed very nervous about this meeting.
Light couldn¡¯t comprehend exactly why would she be so nervous, because didn¡¯t she suspect their arrival?
Damn......was Shigure¡¯s information wrong? isn¡¯t this girl¡¯s ability to see the future??
Light thought that the girl was frighted by the sudden appearance of two men.
Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!but then, she opened her mouth yet again and was the first to utter something in this awkward silence that went on for a few minutes.
¡°T-thank you for coming.....t-those who¡¯s time cannot be seen.....¡±
¡°.........?¡±
Light couldn¡¯t help but tilt his head in confusion.
but soon recovered and said. ¡°Those who¡¯s time cannot be seen?¡±
the young, sickly girl quickly bowed in apology and said ¡°I-i¡¯m sorry......! it seemed i have been talking in puzzles.........i¡¯ll explain what i meant!¡±
she lifted his head and looked at me straight in the eyes and said ¡°What i meant is that you are the only people here, in this city, that i can see your futures.....and i really don¡¯t know why.....!¡±
and with that said, Light was able to quickly guess at what she meant.
he, who could control time itself, cannot have his time told.
and Wolf, who has come from the future, cannot have his time told, because his past is our future.
although that itself has changed.
since wolf¡¯s actions so far has changed the future, but this is just my own guess.
I have no idea why Wolf and Alice were sent here from the future, and both of them refuse to disclose any information about it.
ahh, before i forget, it seems that Alice had her conscious sent to the past, not her physical body like Wolf.
i really couldn¡¯t care less about that thing either way.
¡°But wait....if you can¡¯t see our futures, does that mean that you didn¡¯t suspect our arrival?¡±
¡°But indeed.......if i did, i wouldn¡¯t be here sipping on tea rather than welcoming guests.....right? Y-you really surprised me....¡±
¡°Tch¡±
Light clicked his tongue loud enough for only him to hear.
Doesn¡¯t this mean i have come here for nothing at all....? i can¡¯t do my experiment at all this way.
as for what he meant as an experiment, he wanted to see if he can change the future.
but if there is no set future for someone, then how can he change it?
but after a while, something lit up inside Light¡¯s head.
¡°Ahh! i got it!!¡±
if he can¡¯t change his own future, then why not change another?
¡°Hey, you! do you know who is going to win this stupid game?¡±
¡°..............Y-yes......? its this one guy called........Kate?¡±
Light, as soon as he heard that name, burst into laughter.
while in midst of laughter, the girl quickly lowered her upper body, just as if she was bowing.
~Thud!
A sharp sound came from the wall.
Wolf quickly looked at the wall, and saw that there was a small, circular hole in it.
¡°A bullet hole.....?¡±
Wolf turned his head, as if to follow its trajectory.
and gasped in surprise when he saw it was aimed toward the handicapped girl¡¯s head.
he didn¡¯t know how the girl was able to know about the sniper, and dodge its bullet when the window was on the opposite side of the room.
which meant that spotting the sniper was impossible.
But then again, Wolf thought it was pure luck.....but quickly dismissed the idea.
the girl signaled Wolf to come closer to her, and instructed him to move her close to Light.
as soon as both of them reached a position close to Light, the ceiling broke down on the place Wolf and the girl stood at moments ago.
Wolf, at that moment, quickly felt stupid to think it was pure luck that she dodged that bullet in pure luck. even though he knew about her power.
a huge figure came out, clad in a majestic armor, from what used to be the ground.
at the moment, the room was split into two, a clean half which had Wolf, the girl and Light.
and the other half, which had the Knight which was clad in armor.
but there was something unusual about the Knight.....what he held was not a sword, but a Battle Axe.
Light quickly asked the Girl¡¯s about this man¡¯s future, which she answered ¡°He is going to die on a few days, by the hand of someone called X.....¡±
Light, who haven¡¯t heard of anyone named X, didn¡¯t pay the name much attention.
he quickly decided to kill the motionless lump of metal in front of him, in order for his experiment.
¡°now then....if i kill you, it means that i have the ability to change the future as well?¡±
after he said that, he immediately muttered ¡°<>¡± and took out what seemed to be a black coated Silver Heavy pistol.
other than the color, another thing stood out about the gun held by Light.
it was that the muzzle of the gun had a dragon head carved into it.
the end of the muzzle looked like the dragon¡¯s mouth, while the fired bullet would look as if its the fire coming from the dragon¡¯s belly.
The Knight, as if the code of honor broke him lose after seeing Light draw his weapon, Quickly closed in on Light.
Light quickly Aimed the gun toward the man and pulled the trigger.
with no drama, no action what so ever, the body, which had its upper half alongside its heavy armor, blew to smithereens, dropped on the floor motionlessly.
Light cheerfully looked at the girl, who have proven that his theory was correct, and asked her for her name.
¡°M-my name is.......Alex.¡±
Light extended his hand toward the girl, who was seated in a wheelchair.
Alex, accepting the Young man¡¯s hand, unknowing of the darkness lurking in his heart.

Author note2: sorry! bare with me for a bit, this is like the phase where i introduce new characters and the like....so bare with me until all the needed characters for the stage i am preparing are introduced!
Act 2-5 The Announcement of The Final Battle Royale
The Final Battle Royale Description With the arena down, it has been decided that you will all participate in a school wide battle royal.....although its only restricted to the northern zone--the club rooms. the time limit is one day, may the last survive be crowed, and have his wish fulfilled.
¡°Hmm......?¡±
i woke up today to the same hologram i had before my match with Michiru.
¡°............Hey Wolf, what is this all about?¡±
i turned to wolf, who should be asleep in the bed opposite to mine.......but he¡¯s not there.
ahh! before i forget, our corrent location is one of the safe houses that Shigure has prepared for herself if there was some kind of emergency.
i have no idea how she has those things in this secluded space.
¡°Nnn~¡±
a sweet voice comes out from right besides me.
i open my eyes wide in shock, and jump straight out of the bed.
¡°Ouch!¡±
of course, i fell down on my butt.
it hurts....
although as pride less as i am, my dignity wont let me to reverse the pain out of the equation.
Light felt a bit tingling nostalgia but quickly pushed it away.
¡°You bastard....! why the hell are you back in my bed?!¡±
unknowing that Wolf comes to sleep in his bed every night, Light began embarrassingly shouting at the sleeping figure of Wolf.
¡°Mmnn.......ohh.......?¡±
Wolf woke up, and as if a switch on his brain has been switched on, he quickly stood up and pointed at the screen.
¡°Yeah, i already read about it. whats this all about, Wolf?¡±
¡°It seems.....that the Arena got blown off not too long ago, which was the drive to make the higher ups finally wrap it up. the Arena itself used to work to encourage people to kill others, but it did not serve it purpose, thus leading it to becoming an obstacle to change the rules....with that gone, they can change the rules all they want.¡±
while they were discussing the hologram, they both changed and started heading out of the room.
¡°I see.....then let me confirm this again, there can only be one winner, correct?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Are you a participant?¡±
¡°No.¡±
¡°Then.....is any weapons allowed?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
¡°Any kind?¡±
¡°Yes.¡±
after having his questions answered by a simple yes and no, Light gave a relived sigh, and then revealed a refreshed smile.
¡°So, the final battle starts tomorrow, right?¡±
¡°Yup! Although i wont be by your side, Master.....¡±
Said Wolf, while looking down regrettably, and then continued with a lonely smile ¡°.....But i¡¯m quite sure that you¡¯ll win,
Master! so make sure you have a wish prepared!¡±
Light suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked toward Wolf and said in a cold tone.
¡°Wolf. Why have you come from the future?¡±
without turning back to face Light, Wolf said ¡°No matter how many times you ask, i really can¡¯t tell you, Master. you¡¯ll have to wait.....until the time comes, when i am able to tell you everything.¡±
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.Light drops his shoulders in disappointment, but then gives a wry smile, knowing of the danger of revealing the future.
if by any chance, the future is revealed, then you could either change it to the better......or to the worse.
we¡¯re currently walking toward the main room of this safe house, in which every member of the ¡®team¡¯ i am leading are in.
but rather than a team, its more like a play house for Light¡¯s toys.
Reaching the door, Wolf opens it for Light.
the room inside, has a single big conference table.
further back of the room, there¡¯s a huge TV, a couch and multiple screens used for Shigure¡¯s information collecting.
this is used as a hang out for Light¡¯s acquaintances, but Light himself rarely visits this room.
the table was never used before, and was actually brought in by Wolf.
he thought that this way, it¡¯ll look better like a secret hideout.......and as for who crafted it, it seems like Wolf himself.
currently, Shigure was seated in the right end. and to her left was Alex, while on her right was Jay.
Jay is the person that can move up to the speed of light; Light reversed his time before he was competently dead and got him up to his feet, partially for Shigure¡¯s request and more toward satisfying his collector¡¯s thirst.
Light took his seat, which was stationed at the left end.
Light had an empty seat toward his left, but that seat was currently empty.
it appeared to be Cheshire¡¯s Seat.
the 1.3 meter long table, held only 4 people at the moment.
their appearance at the table looked quite pitiful.
ahh, its actually six.
if you look behind Light, you¡¯ll see two figures stationed on his left and right.
on his Right, was his loyal right hand man, Wolf.
and on his left, was his sworn enemy, Alice.
Light smiled as if this situation itself was like a game for him.
he smiled quite cheerfully seeing all of his so called comrades in good health.
he then opened his mouth and said ¡°As you all have noticed, there is going to be an all out war tomorrow to decide the winner of this game. and....there can only be one winner~¡±
after he finished his line, Jay, who wanted to interrupt Light and ask him for his countermeasures about the battle royale, noticed that Light¡¯s smile transforming, which shocked him to the point of making him forget his thoughts.
the gentle, cheerful smile that Light showed was slowly, but surely transforming into the creepy smile he rarely shows.
all the people in the room, with the exception to those who have Light¡¯s back toward them, knew what that smile meant.
its the smile that Light shows when he is about to kill someone.
¡°~So i¡¯m going to have you all die~¡î?¡±
as soon as he said that, Light instantly pulled his Pistol and shot at Shigure, which was seated directly in front of him while both figures dashed toward their respective targets.

Act 3-1 Starting The Game Before the Assigned Time
with the clock ticking toward midnight, i decided to head out to the central area of the school.
that is, the wreckage of what used to be the principle¡¯s building.
i mean, moving from the center gives more freedom with the direction i¡¯m going to head for.
Although Wolf isn¡¯t able to help me in this game, providing weapons isn¡¯t against the rules.....right?
¡¸I got the location for all the students, Hatter.¡¹
said Shigure through the transmitter installed in my ear.
¡°Is that so, Dormouse. is Knave of Hearts still there?¡±
¡¸I¡¯m here boss! but still......why the hell did you do all of that for?! but then again, don¡¯t you dare kill them! and if you¡¯re going to kill them, do it in the name of justice!!¡¹
Light soon gave a sigh upon hearing Jay¡¯s rant, wondering why he even bothered reviving him.
but in the end, he needed a bodyguard for his support squad, and Jay was the perfect example for that, with his stupid justice.
¡°Of course! who do you think i am? if i don¡¯t act in justice, then what do i act for?!¡±
spouted Light in a hurry.
he felt like throwing up, but with this, he is able to manipulate Jay as much as he wants.
¡°Really, a justice idiot is in the end......just an idiot.¡±
muttered Light.
now then, all that''s left is the last member.
¡°March Hare.¡±
¡¸I¡¯m here, Hatter.....i really thank you for returning my legs to me.¡¹
Said Alex.
Now that he confirmed that all the main actors are here, he quickly said the name of the person he wants to meet first.
¡°Dormouse, tell me the location of X.¡±
¡¸You sure you want to go to X first? he seems to be the strongest of them all.¡¹
¡°I want to go beat down X because he seems to be the strongest.¡±
¡¸Is that so. in that case, he isn¡¯t moving at all. he¡¯s actually quite near you.....just move a bit south.¡¹
¡°hmm.....i see.¡±
even though i know his current location, i didn¡¯t move.
because i¡¯m waiting for the clock to tick past midnight.
wait....
i quickly dismissed my hesitation of waiting for midnight and started moving toward the location.
in the end, aren¡¯t sneak attacks allowed?
who said that we can¡¯t attack before the match started?
now then.....
¡°March Hare¡±
¡¸yes....i cant see X in the future. but.....i can see the girl who is stationed near him. her ability seems to be...the ability to sever anything. also, you should be very careful in dealing with her, because she has weapons hidden all over her body. ¡¹
Said Alex.
he really did want to call them by their names, but Wolf refused any of that.
he attached code names to everyone who still haven¡¯t had his, and decided to have us use them in this ¡®last¡¯ mission.
well, i owe Wolf a bit after all, so i agreed.
in the end, i can use any kind of weapon right?
humans are weapons.
no...to be more precise, undead are.
having a loophole in the rules really helps.
now then....
i climbed a bit over a hill, which led me to the sky scrapers that are built near the principle¡¯s.
Stolen story; please report.ohh.....i see them.
they¡¯re sitting near the entrance.
the tall girl seems to be cleaning her sword...
but i wonder why that location though?
mayhaps they had the same idea as me, and that is moving to the central of the city?
well, thinking about it won¡¯t change anything, right?
better kill them real fast and end this.
that''s when a sudden thought ran through me.
since when did i kill?
no, since when did killing become fine for me?
sure, i wanted to kill Alice.....but isn¡¯t that already done?
so why am i killing the rest who wronged me?
if i do somehow get out of this, and i will.......can i really go back to society?
i mean, i never actually was part of it, but someday i will, right?
since out there, killing really isn¡¯t an option.
for me, who got used to killing.....aren¡¯t i truly an outcast now?
inside the bubble called normality--common sense.....aren¡¯t i outside of it now?
ahh!
why am i thinking about this now?
i¡¯ll always have time later.
i took a deep breath, cleansing me of my human thoughts.
nothing will come out of thinking about it now.
setting my thoughts straight, i moved toward the duo.
as i drew near, they both noticed me.
X seems to look at me in the eyes, although i can¡¯t really say because of the mask.
the girl who was maintaining her sword suddenly raised an eyebrow and got up.
she then revealed a smile.
i stopped a few meters before them.
¡°Good evening.¡±
i said toward the couple.
the man wearing the mask seems to stare at me intensely.
really though......why do all the guys i meet for the first time are like this?
we got Wolf, and now this guy.
i¡¯m actually straight!
while having such normal thoughts, the girl, who was still smiling, replied to me.
¡°Good evening to you, young man! but seriously, what are the chances of meeting our main target so soon? and i thought we¡¯d find you last¡±
i was a bit confused at what she said, but no matter.
¡°I¡¯m glad that we think the same. since in the end, i wanted to meet you guys first...¡±
as i said that, the girl took a step forward.
i, of course, took a step back.
i really can¡¯t get in her attack range.....swordsmen are troublesome after all.
ohh?
i remember!
can¡¯t i just stop them then?
¡°<>¡±
and there it is again.
the girl....raised her eyebrow again.
she looked on shocked.
it seems like she is able to see the invisible barrier that is extending on me as its center.
she quickly unsheathed the sword that she sheathed moments ago and swung.
¡°Alice!¡±
¡°What¡¯s the matter, Mast--¡±
Alice came out of nothingness.
she used one of her spells, <> and came here.
i quickly pushed her in front of me before she had the chance to respond
and she was cut vertically alongside my barrier.
Light¡¯s facial muscles seemed to be moving upward and formed a very twisted smile upon seeing what is happening before him.
Act 3-2 Time and Space
¡°Kuhahahahaha! i¡¯ve heard that you can pretty much cut everything, but i didn¡¯t expect you to cut my barrier!¡±
¡°Oi oii....didn¡¯t you just say that my ability is to cut everything? in that case, isn¡¯t your barrier included in ¡®everything¡¯? and
to start with......why are you sounding like a last boss from an RPG with every passing second?¡±
the girl pointed out to Light.
Light turned to Alice, who had her body cut into two.
he then says ¡°Alice, Wake up.¡±
no matter how much he wants to kill Alice, he isn¡¯t able because he needs her.
that aside, the girl opens her eyes shocked and says ¡°Are you an idiot? she¡¯s cut in half y¡¯know.....no matter how much you¡¯re in deny, going that far is a bit...¡±
but she soon turned from shock into dumbfounded.
¡°What the hell was that all about, Master?!¡±
in case you haven¡¯t noticed, Alice now calls me Master, exactly like Wolf does.
i don¡¯t know what happened, but it might have been Wolf¡¯s brainwashing.
anything is possible for that guy.....
¡°W-woah!? aren¡¯t you supposed to be dead?!¡±
said the girl as soon as she recovered from her earlier shock.
Light ignored the girl and looked straight into the sitting figure, X
he still can¡¯t see his expression from the mask, but he can guess that he¡¯s still watching on intensely.
he then guessed that he can¡¯t get to X unless he went through the girl first.
¡°So Alice, how did it feel?¡±
¡°i couldn¡¯t even feel pain!¡± replied Alice quickly.
Light sharpened his eyes, and looked at the girl yet again.
in the end....her powers are useless if it gives out a painless death.
and having Alice here is great and all, but she¡¯ll end up being dead weight....
¡°Alice, go get rid of the small fry.¡±
¡°Got it~¡±
and with a gust of wind, she disappeared.
¡°With that said.....can you truly cut everything?¡±
¡°Of course!¡±
said the girl with a broad smile on her face.
¡°In the end, you are drunk in your own power.¡±
muttered Light.
but if that was the case, Light couldn¡¯t deny that he, himself, is drunk in his own power.
in the end, hasn¡¯t he been playing god these past few months?
Light shook his head and decided to try something new.
he pointed his finger toward the sword held by the girl and uttered
¡°<>¡±
the sword instantly turned dull, and from dull to ash.
¡°Ohh? this isn¡¯t as surprising as the earlier tricks...¡±
said the girl disappointingly while throwing the old, wore down hilt away.
she then lowered her right hand, and another Japanese sword came out of her sleeve.
¡°That''s convenient¡±
said Light sarcastically
well, with this, it confirms what Alex said.
now then.....how do i kill her?
ohh?
i just got a nice idea!
¡°<>¡±
As soon as i said that, my right hand began to glitch.
just like how a video shows a repeating glitch, the same is happening to my right hand.
the girl who was covered in leather, took a step back, thinking i¡¯m planning on doing something.
and as soon as the glitching stopped, the hand was gripping something.
a sharp, one edge Nodachi.
the sword, which was a bit taller than Light, was gripped in his right hand.
its a wonder how he can handle such a heavy weapon in one hand, but its lighter than you might think.
its the sword that has similar abilities as the one Cheshire uses.
it had Greek inscription alongside center of the blade.
¡°Huh?! You want to challenge me in a sword fight?!¡±
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Spouted the girl, irritated at the fact that the man in front of her even dared to take out a sword.
with veins appearing in her beautiful face, she dashed toward Light.
Light took an awkward stance, which added more toward the girl¡¯s fury.
the girl swing her blade, which was aimed at Light¡¯s abdomen, but Light countered somehow.
as soon as the blade came into contact with the Nodachi, it turned to ash.
The girl, who was shocked for a moment, quickly took out a short sword from her left sleeve and aimed for Light¡¯s neck.
~Clang!
The girl dropped the short sword alongside her left arm.
¡°W-why.....? why can¡¯t i.....cut you?¡±
the girl looked on in disbelief at what just happened.
her left hand, who hit something so hard, went numb.
she did indeed come in contact with Light¡¯s neck, but it was too hard for her to cut.
she doesn¡¯t know exactly why........but the shock is too hard for her, to the point where her legs began to shake.
¡°That face......hahahahahaha!!!¡±
Light began laughing at the sight before him.
since in the end, he just did something that this girl thought was impossible.
he understood her ability, and knew exactly what she had went through.
Light guessed that she cut a lot of things including metals she thought to be uncuttable like a hot knife through butter.
she also severed bones and organs, and perhaps even nerves!
he could also guess she cut through countless abilities from other students.
and yet, after getting drunk on that power for more than two years, that so called absolute power!
a guy comes around and tramples through it.
he throws it in the ground, steps on it and then burns it.
isn¡¯t that the beauty of the world?
after a while of laughing, and the girl on the floor trembling in terror, Light came to the delusion that the girl herself was a teacher who stood by when he was being physically harassed.
little by little, his feelings of joy began to be replaced by feelings of anger.
¡°I swore to kill all of them brutally.....and the sin of being a spectator.....you shall pay it!¡±
in that instant, he used his skill and created a micro black hole.
even though its so small, you can notice it pretty easily.
in the end, everything near us was being sucked in.
the skyscrapers that were in front of me began moving toward the event horizon, and slowly, froze there.
the girl herself also began moving toward it involuntarily.
she was being sucked in.
that''s when Light noticed something.
X, which was sitting near the entrance of the building that was being sucked in, was unmoving.
he walked toward the girl, and said ¡°Ai. you have done your best....leave the rest to me.¡±
the girl suddenly stopped in her place as well, even though she was in the event horizon.....a place where even light cant escape.
there, they both were standing still, speaking.
then X turned toward Light and said ¡°Enough!¡±
and the black hole that was directly behind him ceased to exist.
everything...returned to normal.
it was as if the black hole wasn¡¯t there to begin with.
Cold sweat broke out in Light¡¯s forehead.
¡°This......is it the ability to control time.......?!¡±
Light was shocked when he realized that someone else might have the same ability as himself.
that¡¯s when someone tapped Light¡¯s shoulder from behind.
it was.....X.
Light could feel the cold stare he was getting from X behind the mask, that''s when he said
¡°That''s quite close. its actually space.¡±
Act 3-3 Time vs. Space.
Albert Einstein once said that space is a fiber that is manipulated by gravity.
the gravity can either keep it together, like dark matter, or can make it expand, like dark energy.
without dark matter, galaxies cannot form.
and yet, this so called dark energy, influences the universe, which is space, to an ever expanding circle.
these two work exactly like the opposite sides of a magnet.
one pulls, and the other pushes.
so here¡¯s a theory that intrigues me.
¡®what if dark energy is the universe?¡¯
if that was the case, then it makes sense.
dark matter increases with the increase of matter.
right now, scientists say that dark matter has 5 times the gravitational force of normal matter.
now then, this dark matter keeps galaxies---us together.
what if this so called dark matter reacts a bit differently with the universe?
what if rather than keeping the universe clumped together, it pushes it away?
and with the increase of dark matter, the universe expands even faster.
this, in the end, is just a theory.
as for exactly how i came up with such a ridiculous theory.....it because of the phenomenon produced by my powers.
at start, my powers were simply of that ¡®teleportation¡¯
i can move myself and those i touched from one place to another.
quite simple, right?
wrong.
sure, it might sound simple and all, but just imagine teleporting in the middle of other matter.
like, teleporting in the middle of a wall.
its a really disastrous power that needs super human processing power.
yet, i can do it with a simple flick of a finger.
i, once, did teleport in a middle of a wall.
do you know exactly what happened?
the wall was flung at speeds beyond that of sound.
thus i came up with that theory.
normally, i would fly in the other direction as well....but it seems my gravitational power is alot higher than his.
when i realized that my power can produce such effects, i also came to the conclusion that my power influences dark energy.
since in the end, dark matter is everywhere.
there is 5 times dark matter than normal matter.
with that being said, the probability that my powers aren¡¯t limited to teleportation opened.
with that, the realm of the ¡®gods¡¯ was flung open.
and with that realization, i¡¯ve also knew that a counterpart is out there.
if i can control space, then there must be someone able to control time.
i began looking forward to meet such person.
i began anticipating how we would meet.
i began......holding respect for that unknown person.
then, something happened.
i¡¯ve finally met that person.
no.....i¡¯d rather say that that person awakened me to the realization that i even had more possibilities.
that person killed the one most important to me.
now that i think about it, i couldn¡¯t care less now.
of course, i cried that day, and days after that as well.
meeting that person was good enough.
sure, She died.
i have come in terms with it.
after thinking long and hard about it, Michiru¡¯s death was the will of a god.
with that thought, the weeks i spent weeping came to an end.
¡°In that case, why don¡¯t you become a god and get her back to life?¡±
the temptation of a devil.
no....a temptation of a god.
that sweet voice then continued.
¡°You, who have control over space, have half of your domain of the world inside that of a black hole. then, why not get
the other half, and return her to your arms?¡±
at first, i couldn¡¯t understand what she meant.
after understanding my confused expression, she gave me the final hint.
¡°Space is but one side of the coin.¡±
there, i understood.
i need control over time.
i must kill the god i respect.
i must kill the person who awoken me to the possibility of becoming a god.
i must kill the person who murdered my beloved one.
but by no means does killing him means i gain his abilities.
i must win this game and wish for a second ability.
there is but a single winner for this game.
and for that, i must kill my god.
for that, i shed out my mask.
and wore a mask that represents me.
a mask....of freedom.
the sweet voice then gave me a farewell gift.
he taught me how to create matter.
although i said ¡®matter¡¯, its just a way to reassemble existing matter.
with that....i created Love
i created......Ai.
her appearance is that of my former homeroom teacher.
because i¡¯m the one who created her, she has similar abilities to mine.
that is, to cut anything in ¡¸Space¡¹
not to mention, she can also manipulate matter to a degree.
now then.....why did i bother creating her?
because Space can cancel out Time.
Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.if that¡¯s so, then i need a third party.
thus Ai.
now that Ai have tasted the waters, and seen to what extent his abilities are.......
and i, who have proven that i can cancel out his abilities.
that¡¯s when he muttered something, and the sword that was in his right hand was replaced by a pistol.
the thing noteworthy about the pistol was that its muzzle was that in shape of a dragon.
it looked like a gun out of a manga.
the gun looked a bit abnormal, the size was a lot bigger than usual.
even i, who doesn¡¯t know much about guns, could guess that the recoil for such a thing must be tremendous.
he quickly rose it over the shoulder i just tapped......and fired.
¡°<
>¡±
in the instant that i felt the attack, i immediately used the skill, portal.
i, myself, stepped away from Light.
the bullet that he just shot was nowhere to be seen.....until Light flew backward.
on closer inspection, you¡¯d realize that Light¡¯s left arm is detached from his body.
the bullet that was unseen for a few seconds flew right at Light, from his left.
he used his left hand to cover the rest of his body, which led it to be severed from the object it was protecting.
Light, quickly got back up to his feet, began looking around the surroundings.
the wound that should be bleeding heavily was nowhere to be seen, and the arm that should be somewhere in the ground is back in its place.
now then, while we fight, i need Ai to somehow get him.
although, thats the last resort.
this time around, i¡¯ll teleport directly inside him, and force his body to dismantle.
with that, i quickly used <> on the distracted Light.
the scenery before my eyes instantly changes, which means the teleportation is done.
''Now then....did he die?''
because there¡¯s no one in front of me, i began turning to look to the sides.
and there he was, right behind me.
expressionless.
unlike his always joyful expression.
unlike the expression of rage he showed when he tried to kill Ai.
he was.....expressionless.
a shiver ran through my spine.
this sudden change to a lack of expression is abnormal.
i quickly used teleportation again to get rid of my uneasiness.
and with that, the scenery changed again.
this time, the building in front of me that Ai was sitting on seemed a bit further than earlier.
this means that it succeeded.
i try to look around yet again for Light, but no sign of him.
''this means....is he behind me?!''
i quickly turn around....and he¡¯s not there.
''Does this mean....i killed him?''
if that was the case, i am a bit disappointed.
i mean, with all the preparation of getting Ai to get rid of him.....but no matter.
with this, he is dead.
the last obstacle is out.
i joyfully turned around to Ai and said
¡°.........¡±
hmm?
¡°.........¡±
W-why can¡¯t i say anything?
¡°................¡±
i quickly moved toward Ai, signaling her my inability to talk with simple gestures.
but......she isn¡¯t reacting.
¡°......................¡±
what is happening here?
i tired pushing Ai, but she wont budge.
everything refuses to move either.
even our bags that have water and food won¡¯t move.
¡°..................¡±
with that, i noticed that this world doesn¡¯t have any sounds.
with that, i noticed that this world doesn¡¯t move at all.
with that, i noticed that this is hell.
***
¡°Phew~! With that being said, it sure took a lot of energy to do that~!¡±
Said an ordinary looking man, with normal jet black, short hair while cleaning his hands with a handkerchief.
the young man also had black eyes, and his figure was nothing but ordinary.
the only thing noteworthy is the fact that behind him.....stood a headless body.
the body seemed to be that of a girl in the prime of her youth.
the black leather that covered the body was unusually dyed red with blood.
looking at the young man again, there was something unordinary about him.
it was.....his demonic smile.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author Note: the " '' " means that he thinks he said something but in reality he didn''t.
also note that the teleportation skill of X is way different than Alice''s.
you can think that X''s teleportation skill is the real thing while Alice''s a ripoff.
and yes, although the title is "Space vs. time", there wasn''t that much action at all.
the thing is, i never planned for Light to be that much OP.....but i like him OP better than having his struggle........and for that, i''m sorry.
CLICK ME FOR A BETTER BATTLE SCENEEEEE!!!!
Act 3-3.5 Space vs.Time.
Author note: I as well was a bit disappointed in the battle scene. i wanted to get Light to be OP, but didn''t exactly show how powerful X was.....and i still think i haven''t done it right! but!! i wrote a better battle scene here, and its your choice whether you think that one is the true battle or this. other than that, enjoy~!!!
also, tell me if you enjoyed this battle....and if you did, i''ll try to make all the battles from now on this good or even better.
so yeah, this whole chapter is a battle scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
¡°Well....that wasn¡¯t much fun, right?¡±
with such words, Light played with Ai¡¯s severed hand.
and as if the playing was a trigger to something, the whole world¡¯s time was rewound.
with the world slowly returning to the state it was, people who should already be dead are back alive.
and Light was walking backwards, toward the location he was when X teleported for the first time.
this time, rather than expressionlessly, he was smiling.
¡°what¡¯s so funny?¡±
asked the calm X.
he then opened his fist, and as if holding something, threw it toward the ground.
Light, which was directly below what X just threw, Fell to the ground instantly.
the ground which Light fell on also bent downward.
the only logical explanation would be that gravity changed in that spot.
¡°Hey, how does it feel to be on the other end of a battle? this time, you¡¯re kneeling on the floor.....so how does it feel?¡±
said X sarcastically toward Light, who couldn¡¯t even move a single muscle.
but then, Light, who couldn¡¯t even talk, opened his palms toward in the ground with great difficulty.
and the earth returned back to what it was a few moments ago.
X, who expected as much, used the same skill yet again.
although this time, he uttered the skill¡¯s name.
¡°<>¡±
before Light could even stand up, X threw another ¡®one¡¯ toward the ground.
no...this time, he threw it directly at Light¡¯s body.
Light clicked his tongue and quickly turned over his back.
what he held in his hand was his beloved Nodachi.
Light extended his hands, and as soon as he did that, he let go of the sword and rolled over to the side opposite of X.
the Nodachi, which struck the floor, was crushed to pieces.
it seems....that what ever was causing the increase of gravity, hit the sword rather than Light.
X, who was surprised, took off his mask while laughing at himself.
perhaps he thought something along the lines of ¡®I really can¡¯t beat him alone¡¯.
¡°You.....if it isn¡¯t creepy Nii-sama!¡±
said Light, who didn¡¯t expect that the creepy guy he swore to torture would actually have this troublesome ability.
While saying that, Light used <> and got back his pistol.
this time around, he shot 6 shots rapidly.
X, who turned around to face Ai muttered ¡°<
>¡±
and all 6 shots were returned to Light from all direction.
Light, smirked, and shot another two toward X.
¡°<
> did you think i couldn¡¯t use this skill rapidly?¡±
asked X toward Light, who was blown to smithereens.
yet.....his body parts soon retracted, and formed the ordinary looking Light.
¡°Woah! if i didn¡¯t somehow protect my head, i would¡¯ve already died!¡±
ironically, saying his only weakness outloud.
X, who was looking straight at Ai, conveyed the start of their plan.
Ai took out twin swords from her sleeves and began running toward Light.
X made a throwing gesture, and threw a lot of ¡®them¡¯
Light stood in his place, still wearing the creepy smile.
X didn¡¯t think that the increase in gravity would hold Light for enough time that Ai could strike his brain.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.so he teleported near Light, and held him.
¡°With this, i¡¯ll be come a gravitational force myself......!¡±
But X made the mistake.
he couldn¡¯t notice anything differ, even though the first ¡®thing¡¯ he threw should have touched the ground already.
well we can¡¯t blame him, they are invisible.
with no change whatsoever, X shouted ¡°<>¡±
normally, if he was the center of gravity, it¡¯ll double if not triple the normal gravity increase produced with <> due to the fact that X¡¯s mass in higher than the air he holds.
and yet.....nothing happened.
Ai, who noticed something was wrong, wanted to pull back, but she came too close too fast to back off.
in her eyes, she can see exactly what kind of expression Light is making.
rather than an expression of shock, boredom or even rage....all he had was an expression of extreme joy.
every cell in her body told her to stop, but she simply couldn¡¯t.
in the end, she came too close to Light.
this was produced by her lack of hesitation toward the execution of the plan....her absolute trust toward her maker, X.
¡°Hey hey hey~! if you¡¯re not careful.....¡±
Light said toward god knows who.
then, Ai, who should have immunity toward the gravity increase in the ground due to her boots, suddenly fell down on the ground.
she....became a lump of meat instantly.
the instant transformation of her normal self to that of a lump of meat shocked X beyond words.
since in the end, why did that all happen?
¡°Its funny how i can¡¯t use this skill on either you or that miss.....but! i can use it on the stuff you just threw, y¡¯know? that is, i created a small barrier around us! miss was too focused on killing me that she didn¡¯t notice! and she accidentally......came in contact with the stuff you threw!! isn''t that great? you just killed her!"
said Light toward the shocked X.
it seemed nothing was registering for him anymore.
¡°Tsk~ no fun!¡±
X, with his tears gushing out, pressed harder at Light.
he pressed his jaw so hard, that his teeth began crushing each other.
¡°YOU.............I¡¯LL KILL YOU!!!!!¡±
X, who thought of himself as a god as well, lost all respect toward the being he called all mighty.
since in the end, he became the same being as the god he respected.
¡°Ohh~? good job! it seems like you¡¯re preparing something huge...¡±
and as soon as he said that, Light broke his neck when he turned it 180 degrees to face X.
with a twisted smile, Light¡¯s body was tore to half.
as for X......he was nowhere to be seen.
no, upon closer inspection, you could notice his head near Light¡¯s upper half.
¡°So how does it feel? to be killed by a combination of my attack and yours!¡±
said Light as soon as he rewound to his older body.
¡°You see....i shot myself through the stomach! and as soon as i did, i released the barrier and rewound time to the time you used yourself as a gravity center! at the same time, i stopped time for everything except for you again! i don¡¯t know exactly how your head alone survived, but good job! i didn¡¯t even expect a speck of dust to remain, honestly....well, this is an experiment yet again! i wish i had the ability over space as well.¡±
said Light, unusually full of energy.
¡¸You seem unexpectedly in a good mood.¡¹
¡°Ohh, is that you, Dormouse? of course i am! i just met someone i really hate....and i killed him! just one more to go~¡±
¡¸You¡¯re creeping me out, Hatter. Hurry up and return to your usual self.¡¹
Act 3-4 The Pair
Author note: i do realize that i misused the word "pair", but i''m too lazy to look for every single of of them and changing ''em, so excuse me for that. also, i''ve gotten a bit busy! so, this might be updated once every two days or so. when i do get free, i do promise i''ll get back to a chapter per day....
so i''m sorry for not writing a chapter yesterday without a notice! since my schedule suddenly filled up before i even realized it myself.
----------------------------------
¡°Really, having the combination of seeing the future and locating people is one hell of a combo. i mean, with that i can know who to follow and who not to follow....since some guys might die while i¡¯m on the way, i don¡¯t even need to waste time! they also can¡¯t run away because i know their destinations....really, what a frightening bunch. but then again, it all goes to Master.¡±
smiled the tank top wearing beauty.
it was a red tank top that went bellow her knees, and it looked like she didn¡¯t wear anything beneath it.
the only thing that was note worthy, was the fact that her eyes lost their colors.
they were so dark, you would be sucked into them in no time.
it seems like she was walking in the eastern part of the city, hosting all the sport fields and the like.
taking a walk rather leisurely, she headed toward a pair.
the beauty suddenly stopped in her tracks, and took a glance behind her.
she glanced toward the watchtower, which indicated that the game has started 3 hours ago.
she then turned toward the pair yet again, and continued her previous action.
the pair in front of her were weird in their accord as well.
the pair were a guy and a girl.
the guy was about 170cm.
he didn¡¯t look strange at all, except for the part where he is wearing white for everything.
Alex giggled at the thought that he was very similar to the twins from a movie she watched as a kid.
as for his counterpart, she had crimson hair.
she had Light blue eyes and her clothes were all black.
her appearance wont be even called bizarre for a compliment.
the pair looked at Alice with a totally opposite expressions.
the guy only looked on curious while the girl narrowed her eyes and glared at Alice.
Alice then showed an even sweeter smile while still continued her walk.
indeed, she was curious as for the reason why they haven¡¯t moved at all.
but that¡¯s when something ¡®abnormal¡¯ happened.
the girl that was glaring daggers into Alice suddenly disappeared.
Alice titled her head sideways, confused at what just happened.
and as soon as she realized the possibility that she might be attacked first, the scenery before her changed.
she fell to the ground soundlessly.
the eyes that were looking straight were now looking at the sky.
¡°This......is interesting.¡±
she said as soon as she stood up.
¡°Enhanced human abilities? that¡¯s the most normal power I¡¯ve seen since I¡¯ve come here!¡±
said the girl who were covered in green blood.
the tank top she was wearing was now dyed both red and green, which unexpectedly didn¡¯t look bad at all.
in the end, this city was filled with ability users.
some controlled wind, while others controlled earth.
you could even find those who can call spirits or raise the dead!
and yet, there¡¯s one with only surplus human strength?
she wondered how a person such as the girl before her survived, but then came to the conclusion that the man that was next to her was very powerful.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.i mean, if you can¡¯t survive alone, why not look for someone to take you under their wing?
she then gave a sigh and said ¡°It¡¯s a waste thinking about it now....¡±
she then gave yet another sigh, realizing she just triggered her own death flag.
¡°But i¡¯m already dead...¡±
she then smiled.
she remembered that she only had a single task to do.
and that is, to trigger Light¡¯s ability.
to make Light meet him earlier than expected.
once that was finished, she planned to get Light to kill her.
but before she did, she decided to mess with Wolf a bit.
and then she died at the hands of the person who sent her once she confirmed his control of his ability.
With that, i¡¯m done with everything. she thought.
but unexpectedly, Wolf raised her from the realm of the dead.
¡°This isn¡¯t time to think about the past! i¡¯m just triggering more death flags for myself~!!¡±
completely forgotten about the girl who just sent her flying.
¡°Tsk. would you shut up already?¡±
the redheaded girl appeared yet again behind Alice, and threw a kick toward the side.
Alice then caught her leg with one hand, while twisting her arm unnaturally.
¡°Wo-ah?!¡±
the girl exclaimed in surprise.
since the girl just who caught her kick that could easily break walls, while breaking her own arm in the process to even get it to the right angle, was smiling.
not even a tingle of pain was in her smiling expression.
the girl herself had another thought process.
she couldn¡¯t let go of the feeling that this person is someone she once knew.
but seeing as that person is no longer in this world, set the girl to be even more impatient.
Alice let go of the leg, only after sending her own through the abdomen of the redhead.
it caught her off guard, and she was sent flying.
the girl wanted to gasp for air, but she couldn¡¯t.
before giving her the chance to even hit the floor, Alice released a devastating skill.
¡°<>¡±
she pointed her toward the body that was still in mid-air, and shouted the name of her skill.
something nearly invisible flew in an ark, and the next thing you know it, the girl¡¯s body was cut in half.
but that wasn¡¯t the end of it.
¡°<><><><>¡±
Alice continued firing all kinds of skills, which lead to a barrage of an unstoppable projectiles.
once confirming that the target was reduced to mere pieces, she took a look toward the direction of the man dressed in white, who haven¡¯t moved since the beginning of the battle.
she saw him dumbfounded, looking beyond Alice.
then Alice looked back at the woman~or at least what remained of her.
she noticed something bizarre.
her blood was not red, but green.
Alice was confused for a second, but she soon came to an answer.
because the human pieces were coming together.
¡°Ahh~! Are you by any chance, Cheshire-Chan~?!¡±
Asked Alice, toward the pieces who were coming together, and formed a pile of mashed flesh.
and from there, the nostalgic figure emerged.
Act 3-5 A Tragedy Heroine
¡°Ohh......? Alice?¡±
exclaimed the naked figure, that is covering in green blood.
she was confused.
since in the end, she saw Light kill her right before her eyes.
¡°H-how can you still be alive....? and how come you have all of your limbs back together..........?¡±
in the end, she didn¡¯t know Wolf¡¯s ability.
or...who he was.
but she soon came to the conclusion that she¡¯s a copy sent to kill her by the White Rabbit.
in the end, she is under the illusion that the white rabbit is responsible for everything.
she directed all of her hatred and disappointment and regret toward a figure she hasn¡¯t even seen before, and only have heard of him once.
for the past six months, all she¡¯s been doing was following that figure.
that shadow.
and every time she comes with a clue, she follows it.
and every time, a talking doll comes up and tries to kill them.
even though the ¡®White Rabbit¡¯ is supposed to be the absolute existence that gave them all of their powers, and had them stuck in this place, all he ever done was try to kill them with petty, flashy tricks.
she soon came to the thought that they were both in equal groundings.
they were both....equals.
she became arrogant.
she became full of herself.
she thought that she finally became.......a hero.
she didn¡¯t care about justice at all, nor did she think about the people.
she simply wanted to destroy her hatred.
she simply wanted to destroy that which took her away from Light.
she simply wanted to be together with Wolf and Light.
but the next line Alice said snapped her to reality.
¡°So, you¡¯re not going to drop the act?¡±
asked the blond beauty with her eyes wide open.
she had a bright smile on, but it was frozen.
Shiho--Cheshire felt she was being sucked into them.
¡°W-what do you mean?¡±
The moment Cheshire said that, the beauty¡¯s frozen smile suddenly dropped.
and from it, emerged one out of pure enjoyment.
¡°You think They still haven¡¯t noticed? i mean, how come you¡¯re the only one without abilities in this closed space, only for the sake of ability users? you, yourself should have noticed it from the beginning. i mean, its not like every ability user here had to learn it from someone. every single one of them somehow noticed it. some may have had it go berserk on him, while others had the sudden thought that they had this ability upon transferring here.¡±
cold sweat broke out from Cheshire she quickly jumped toward the man covered in white and shouted ¡°Melt it!¡±
the man took off both of his gloves, and touch the ground.
at that moment, Alice quickly jumped from the ground, still smiling.
she knew what lied here after all.
because the eastern part of the school, the part that held the fields were a no fight grounds.
all students agreed to not fight in this place.
yet, there were a couple of students here.
as for why all the students agreed not to fight here, is because this is the graveyard of the school.
they can¡¯t really make all of the bodies here rot, right?
this is something that Light didn¡¯t know.
no, its more like he didn¡¯t care.
as soon as the man turned the whole field to ash, he quickly returned his gloves back on.
as soon as the jump lost its power, the gravity pulled Alice like any other subject in earth.
she felt that she would most likely drown in the sea of ashes, but she didn¡¯t need to breath at all.
I¡¯m an undead after all.
thought Alice.
but to her surprise, she didn¡¯t sink at all.
¡°Hee...so he just turned the heavy crust to ash?¡±
exclaimed Alice in surprise.
but Cheshire didn¡¯t listen at all.
she began to mumble something, but Alice who had super hearing could catch everything she said.
¡°<<¦ª¦Á¦Ë? ?¦Ë¦Ï¦Ô? ¦Ó¦Ï¦Ô ?¦Ð¦Í¦Ï¦Ô ¦Æ?¦Ì¦Ð¦É ¦Å¦Ä?-¡±
the earth then trembled.
¡°Hahahaha! i can totally see through you~! as soon as i noticed who you were, i knew exactly why you were here waiting~!¡±
shouted Alice in excitement.
but her words fell on deaf ears, since Cheshire was too focused on chanting.
¡°-¦²¦Ç¦Ê?¦Ò¦Ó¦Å!>>¡±
the instant she finished chanting, hundreds of corpses rose.
¡°Oho? so instead of having them have a hard time breaking through the ground, you turned it to ash?¡±
said Alice unfazed by the scene unfolding.
¡°But y¡¯know...these tricks won''t work on me?¡±
As soon as she said that, she took out a staff from god knows where.
with a hint of disappointment, she waved the weird staff.
because of its unmatched colors, the four small jewels on top of the staff were blue, unlike the huge one stationed in the center.
it looked about four times the size of the small jewel, while having the color of blood.
perhaps she looked on disappointingly, because the blood of the undead is green.
shrugging it off, she began her chanting while the undead drew closer.
as they drew closer, so did the speed of her chanting went faster.
with the undead few steps close to Alice, she finished her chanting with ¡°-¦°¦¡¦£?¦²¦¥¦© ¦³¦¯¦ ¦ª¦¯¦²¦¬¦¯!>>¡±
at that instant, everything turned to ice.
with all the undead frozen, look on Cheshire.
she has seen this skill before, but never imagined it was this powerful.
since everything before her was turned to ice.
although she, herself wasn¡¯t, thanks to her companion.
she soon bore a smile and said ¡°Really, you¡¯re amazing...Hatter.¡±
Alice, who heard Cheshire¡¯s muttering and soon disappeared.
¡°Ohh! there it is!! your refusal to call Master by his name! this, yet again, is proof of your acting~¡±
This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
the voice exclaimed clearly.
although Cheshire didn¡¯t exactly know where, because the voice was coming from every direction.
you could hear it from the front, left, right and back.
it literally came from everywhere.
¡°W-woaaah?!¡±
the man besides her suddenly screamed in surprise.
Cheshire look at her companion, only to find half of his body turned to ice.
¡°Tsk! Mida, i¡¯m sorry to say this, but i¡¯m having you return to your true form!¡±
as soon as she said that, she shouted the magic words.
¡°<¦¡¦Ð¦Ï¦Ê?¦Ë¦Ô¦×¦Ç!>>¡±
the man...turned to a sword.
with no clouds of smoke, sound or light, he just simply turned to a sword.
the only thing notable about that sword was that it was filled with Greek inscriptions and that the bottom of the hilt was turned to ice.
¡°You really do plan on playing the tragedy heroine in every situation, no? because i really doubt someone who loves having sex as much as you to actually be depressed from having it. you think they didn¡¯t see you having sex when they save you? i was watching y¡¯know~! you were all smiles! but as soon as you heard voices, you suddenly switched to a depressing expression. was it out of embarrassment? that¡¯s what Light first thought--¡±
¡°AHH!!! SHUT UP!!¡±
Cheshire began swinging the sword mindlessly.
in the end, her target was no where to be seen.
¡°--how rude! so as i was saying, he first thought it was out of embarrassment, so he brought you the body of the one who was behind everything. he thought you¡¯d have a look of disappointment or happiness. i mean, isn¡¯t those the most normal reactions when someone was in such a place? you¡¯d either have a boiling wrath or super disappointment. he thought to see which one you¡¯d have, would you be angered and kill the man, or perhaps disappointed at his end. but to his surprise, you were worried about the fact that you didn¡¯t have any abilities! isn¡¯t that weird in that situation? i mean, you should have realized all along that you had abilities, yet you were worried about them In front of the body of the one who turned your life to a sexslave. this really did come as a surprise! but then after a few moments of thinking, he came to the idea that you¡¯re mentally unstable. he came to the fact that perhaps after all what has been done to you, you simple ¡®broke¡¯.¡±
with that, Cheshire was gasping for breath.
she wasn¡¯t tired at all, physically at least.
but, her mental strain was nothing to laugh at.
in order to shut up the one who was supposed to be dead, she shouted the words ¡°<>¡±
she thought that now she¡¯s dead, a few burns wont do much.
the whole field of ash went up in flames.
Cheshire cover the sword with her body, making sure to not come in contact with its blade.
but soon enough, even the fire was frozen.
¡°Y¡¯know, i wont¡¯ die that easily!¡±
Cheshire grasped in surprise.
she worked her brain to the limit, on a way to kill Alice.
but the sweet voice never stopped, it continued to haunt her.
¡°So as to make sure of his theory, Wolf faked his own death! now then, when he died, what exactly did you do? you went to find who did it! you had this letter, the letter you should have given to Light. but exactly why did you go find who did it, even though Light was already working on it? why did you not at least think about giving it to Light, and work on it together? i bet you wanted to play damsel in distress! you want your knight in shinning armor to come to your rescue! but to your disappointment, i turned up. i gave you the hint that ¡®The White Rabbit is responsible for everything¡¯. do you even believe someone you just met? logically, you¡¯ll suspect that I was the killer, so why did you follow me and believe me? you just wanted a powerful existence to fill the role of ¡®the demon lord¡¯! since having a powerful hero and a weak demon overlord is not exciting at all! but then, Wolf turned out to be alive. your whole scenario just went up in flames! the cursed revenge, the knight in shinning armor comes to help the tragedy heroine that is blinded by revenge. IT ALL WENT UP IN FLAMES! but then, something unexpected happened. i turned out to be Master¡¯s enemy.¡±
with a moment of silence, Cheshire continued to rack her brain for a way to shut the sweet voice.
no, to kill it.
she then rested her blade in the ground, deciding to turn everything to ashes.
but her plan soon failed, because every time she turned something to ashes, ice filled its place.
she turned the ice to ash, and then ice took its place yet again.
the cycle never ended, all that was left was more ash.
¡°Now then. the person that you were for a couple of days was being tortured before your eyes and soon killed. y¡¯know what was your action? you slapped Master and wished for the kind self--that never existed-- to be brought back. with that, you thought Master would come save you the moment you fell in the hands of your demon lord, right? you disappeared, which normally would keep you in the thoughts of others. you really do have a talent at acting like a tragedy heroine! but, no matter how much you looked....you never found your so called demon lord.¡±
fed up with what¡¯s being said, Cheshire quickly exclaimed ¡°I have! i¡¯ve seen his dolls!!¡±
but the shocking truth was revealed to her.
the voice¡¯s owner suddenly appeared directly facing Cheshire.
she had a smile, baring resemblance to that of Light¡¯s.
she stared down Cheshire with her very dark eyes.
¡°In the end, even those dolls were planted by me and Wolf.¡±
with that, Cheshire fell down to her feet, and her tears fell down on nothing but ashes.
Act 3-6 Darkness in Ones Heart
Life Started so! the updates wont have a regular time, such as once every day or two days.
and instead, i''ll write one whenever i''m free.
i have a life as well....
¡°--That being said, it seemed like Wolf had another thing in mind when he sent you in circles. ahh~ he¡¯s also the one who instructed me to tell you of the White Rabbit. even though we shouldn¡¯t have....and it seems like you mastered that sword! i mean, having it turn into a human! listening to its will! i really was surprised by it all~ i remember Dormouse having a hard time preparing a lab for Wolf, who used that place to make the dolls~ he used actual human parts! and of course, used necromancy to insert a few commands here and there.....really, what a sadistic plan....not that i mind~¡±
Alice continued to talk like a barrage even though knowing that it only fell on deaf ears.
¡°But really....i wonder, how can he be so harsh with himself? or should i say herself?? either way, it seems like this is a parallel universe, so its not like you both share the same experiences....which led to both of your personalities to be so different!¡±
Alice kept revealing one shocking truth after the other, but this only led to further the confusion of the shocked
Cheshire.
Going at her own pace, Alice quickly said ¡°See ya~! make sure to meet Light~!! it¡¯ll start getting interesting from then on~¡± and with that, she disappeared.
after taking a few deep breaths, she returned back to normal.
¡°<<¦Á¦Ð?¦Ä¦Ï¦Ò¦Ç>>¡±
While saying that, she let go of the sword that she held upside down.
the sword fell from her hand, and in the next instant, appeared a man from within it.
¡°S-Shiho wh-¡±
The man who felt like complaining, hurriedly closed his mouth upon sensing his master¡¯s irritation.
after making sure that his gloves were on, he took a seat right besides her.
***
¡°Hmm~this is quite wrong....¡±
Said Light in a hurry.
Because in the map given by Shigure, there are only two people left in campus.
And those are Cheshire and her companion---the sword she was given once was according to Wolf a legendary relic.
Although, i have one of my own....it was brought from the future with Wolf.
While the one i bring out is from this time line.
I¡¯ve also asked him more details about the sword, but he refused to reveal more than that it was my own.
I already guessed as much, since we have the same swords.
Though the reason he gave the sword to Cheshire....is it because she can awaken his human form?
Is there some kind of secret with the transforming sword?
Well, there were many relics from the old ages.
But i never heard of a sword that can turn everything to ashes.
Or one that could turn human....
There might exist one that i haven¡¯t heard of, or its record lost forever in time.
It''s ironic how i can control time, and yet, i keep losing things to it.
No, i cannot recover things lost within it.
Also, the sword wielded by Cheshire is considerably shorter than mine.
Is this perhaps the effect of time travel?
I don¡¯t know, because i haven¡¯t tried it yet.
Sending an object through time and returning time itself are two different matters after all.
That being said, all the players should be dead.
Including his team, Cheshire.
As for the sword, then it doesn¡¯t count.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.Since its just a sword.
And to begin with, the one fated to win this game still hasn¡¯t made an appearance.
Back then, the whole class was made to harass me.
Even the teachers refused to do anything, and gave up after a few tries.
They didn¡¯t expel anyone, nor did they make it public.
Afraid to our school¡¯s reputation....
Truly, that was a scumbag of a principle.
And feces of who were called teachers.
I¡¯m angry.
I''m infested with wrath.
Just remembering the hell i lived is enough to drive anyone to suicide.
But then again, there¡¯s only one left out of the three who made my life that same hell.
I hated everyone of course, there are those who sinned for participating.
Those who sinned for just watching.
And those who sinned for not being able to stop it.
But that is aside from the matter of those who lead the attacks.
We got Creepy Nii-sama, who took out his sadistic frustration after the death of his parents.
.......And to shield the debt.
Of course, it was to the point of forcing me to crunch iron nails, while it crushed my teeth.
Another example would be when he teamed up with Michiru and destroyed one of my.......family jewels.
The Doctor said i¡¯d never recover.
That was a huge shock, for the 16 years old virgin.
Then we got Alice.
The beautiful, kind transfer student.
She, who was my only ally.
She, who was the only one who paid any attention to me.
And yet, she turned on me.
And yet, she joined them.
The sin of backstabbing.
After being my only friend for over two years, she.....ruined it.
She did many things, like pouring cold water on my naked chest in the middle of winter.
Or how she filled my indoor school shoes with spikes.
Or perhaps when she went into my place while pretending to be apologetic....and then formatting both my PC and gaming console.
That¡¯s something not even a demon would do....
I don¡¯t care what happens to this body, but touching my systems is unforgivable.........!
As soon as the thought that i somehow returned to my old self, i small laugh escaped.
Of course, it was my own.
¡°I haven¡¯t touched any video game in a while....nor have i watched any anime...¡±
But those normal thoughts were soon blown away.
Because, the only one left was the true ringleader of the harassment--assault.
And that is, the chairman¡¯s daughter, Kate.
She was the one who first started the bullying.
It was simply that, but it soon turned into harassment.
It began taking an even worse turn, and as i said before, the school didn¡¯t want to let the media know of the chairman¡¯s Daughter¡¯s actions.
So in the end, they covered it all up and instead forced me to drop out.
I then began living as a shut-in.
As a NEET. [A/N: google it.]
This is for the better.
I finally got rid of them.
I comforted myself with such words.
But now....i killed them all.
All that¡¯s left is Kate.
A sinister laugh leaked out, and when i noticed, i let it out full force.
While laughing, i walking toward the underground faculty with the sunrise''s illuminating all the darkness.
not sure that i can do this, but what the heck.
