《Plasma - Chapter 1》


 Chapter 1 - The forgotten blood

    Plasma


    Chapter 1- [The forgotten blood]


    It was supposed to be a normal school trip, a bus ride from California to Los Angeles. The road, called Dead Mountain Road, was narrow and winding, cutting through a mountain range. The students were chatting and looking out the windows at the scenery. Among them were Nero Nic and his older sister, Nissy Nix, who everyone called ¡°Ninni.¡±


    Nero was an average student who didn¡¯t really care about school, while Ninni was the opposite smart, focused, and always bossing Nero around. The two didn¡¯t get along much and spent most of their time bickering.


    As the bus climbed higher up the mountain, Nero got bored. He stared out the window, lost in thought, wondering why his life felt so ordinary and what his purpose might be. Suddenly, something snapped him out of his thoughts a fiery object streaked across the sky and crashed onto the road just ahead of the bus.


    The bus screeched to a stop. Everyone inside gasped, their eyes glued to the scene ahead. The driver stood up, told everyone to stay in their seats, and stepped out to see what had happened. Nero watched from the window as the driver walked toward the glowing crater left by the crash.


    Then it happened. One moment, the driver was there, and the next, his head was gone. Blood gushed from his neck, spraying everywhere like a gruesome fountain. Nero froze in shock, his heart pounding in his chest. The bus filled with screams as everyone panicked. Ninni shouted at Nero to stay inside, but he couldn¡¯t sit still.


    Ignoring the chaos, Nero pushed open the bus door and stepped out, despite everyone yelling at him to come back. Ninni, furious and scared, followed him, trying to drag him back. ¡°What are you doing?¡± she yelled.


    ¡°I need to see what¡¯s going on,¡± Nero replied, his voice shaking.


    As they moved closer to the crash site, Nero spotted something or someone lying on the ground. It was a man with bright red hair, covered in blood. He wasn¡¯t moving. Nero hesitated but felt like he had to do something.


    He knelt beside the man, placed a hand on his shoulder, and shook him gently. ¡°Hey, are you okay?¡± he asked nervously.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    For a moment, nothing happened. Then, the man¡¯s eyes shot open, and he let out a blood curdling scream. Nero stumbled back, his heart racing, as the man¡¯s piercing eyes locked onto his.


    The injured guy suddenly grabbed Nero¡¯s collar, as if trying to say something important. But before he could speak, the man¡¯s attention was drawn to the top of the mountain. Nero had looked too and seen a figure a shadowy person wearing a cloth mask, watching them silently. Then, just like that, the man on the ground had taken his last breath, and the masked figure disappeared without a trace. It was too much for Nero to handle, and everything went black.


    Nero opened his eyes slowly, the room spinning around him. As things came into focus, he saw Ninni and a few other familiar faces his classmates and teacher standing beside his hospital bed. Their expressions were a mix of relief and worry, but Nero¡¯s mind was elsewhere, replaying the chaos from before.


    Now awake, Nero¡¯s thoughts were racing. He sat up quickly, ignoring the pain in his body, and started firing off questions. ¡°What happened? Are the others, okay? What about the bus driver?¡±


    His teacher¡¯s face turned pale, her voice low and sad. ¡°The driver¡­ he didn¡¯t make it.¡±


    The words hit Nero hard, but his confusion only grew. ¡°What about the red haired guy?¡± he asked, his voice rising with urgency.


    Everyone in the room looked at him, puzzled. ¡°What red haired guy?¡± someone asked, their tone unsure. Nero turned to Ninni, hoping she¡¯d back him up. ¡°You saw him! You were there with me!¡± he insisted.


    But Ninni just frowned, shaking her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about, Nero. You probably need to rest, you¡¯re just shaken up,¡± she said gently.


    Nero¡¯s chest tightened. ¡°No! I saw him. I saw him,¡± he muttered, his mind refusing to let it go. But when he asked again what had happened, the others told him it was a simple accident: the bus driver had gone to the washroom, and a truck hit him. No masked figure, no red haired man. Nothing Nero remembered seemed to have happened.


    No one believed him. Exhausted and frustrated, Nero started doubting himself. Maybe it had been a dream just some twisted nightmare his mind created to deal with the shock. Eventually, he stopped asking and tried to accept their version of events.


    A few days later, Nero was discharged from the hospital. Back home, he tried to move on from everything. Life was starting to feel normal again until the day he went to wash his clothes. That¡¯s when he saw it.


    The collar of his shirt was stained with blood.


    Nero froze, staring at the dark red blotch. It wasn¡¯t a dream. It was real. Something had happened that no one else remembered or wanted to admit.


    And Nero wasn¡¯t going to let it go.

 Chapter - 2

    Chapter 2


    There was a planet named EM-182 (somewhere in the universe). There was a huge town where there was a research lab, training grounds, and a huge town hall where the elders sat of the 5 elements exist.


    There are a total of 5 elders living in different parts of each other. Each elder possessed the power of an element. The strongest group of elders is Group 1, whose leader possesses the power of fire.


    Elder of Group 2 possesses the power of water. Elder of Group 3 possesses the power of ice. Elder of Group 4 possesses the power of wind. Elder of Group 5 possesses the power of earth.


    Each group has 6 sub-workers known as protectors. Plasma is the strongest element in the whole omniverse. All five elders have the responsibility to protect Plasma from enemies who want to become omnipotent.


    In Group 3, living on the EM-182 planet, one of the members walked into the assembly hall, stood in front of the elder, kneeled down, and said, ¡°Sine is dead.¡±


    All other Group 3 members were shocked, and the elder was even more shocked. He mumbled to himself and said, ¡°The time has come.¡±


    The elder asked, ¡°Who is the new kid?¡±


    The informer replied, ¡°His name is Nero. He is 17 years old. He lives on planet EM-1, where the Plasma is hidden.¡±


    The elder thought to himself, ¡°It¡¯s just as he said.¡± Then he said, ¡°Bring him here and take 2 other members from Group 2 or Group 5 since we already lost 2 of our members.¡±


    One of the members said, ¡°We don¡¯t need those weaklings to bring a kid.¡±


    Then the informer replied, ¡°We know he is a kid, but he has no control over his powers.¡±


    Meanwhile, In the Earth.


    Nero wakes up in the morning. He goes to the washroom to wash his face. He notices that the water is a little hot but ignores it. After that, he goes for breakfast.


    He drinks milk but feels it hot (he doesn''t like hot milk). He says to his sister, "Hey, idiot, how many times do I have to tell you that I don¡¯t like hot milk?"


    Ninni replies, "Oh, isn¡¯t it? Fool, maybe it¡¯s because you talk too much, that¡¯s why your mouth¡¯s engine went hot."


    Nero leaves without drinking the milk, making an irritated face.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    He goes to school and sits on a bench, and everyone starts feeling sweaty, but surprisingly, he isn¡¯t feeling hot. He looks so confused. On his way home, he starts thinking about what is happening to him.


    Then he notices someone is following him. He looks back, but no one was there. Then he starts walking again when a guy with blue eyes blocks his way with ice. The guy with blue eyes does something to Nero, and Nero starts feeling dizzy. But he starts running again.


    The blue eyed guy just shakes his head, shocked and smiling. Then another guy with red hair comes and says, ¡°The hell Uro! We have to calm him, not scare him.¡±


    Uro replies, ¡°Come on, Yuji! I didn¡¯t even speak to him; he is just coward!¡±


    Nero starts running again, but the guy with red hair suddenly lands in front of him and says, ¡°Wait, wait, wait! We are here to help you. We know something strange is happening to you, but you have to understand just calm down.¡±


    Nero¡¯s hair starts glowing red, and his eyes turn red too. He shouts, ¡°Who the hell are you guys!?¡± Suddenly, a big piece of rock smashes onto Nero¡¯s head, and he becomes unconscious.


    A few minutes later, he wakes up and finds himself in a huge hall. He feels too heavy and can¡¯t even stand properly.


    He saw Elder coming towards him. Nero thought he is goanna kill him. Then Elder said, "You need rest first."


    Nero looks confused, then he saw the guy with blue eyes and said, "What are you doing here?"


    Uro replied, "This is my home planet, you fu*king idiot. What do you mean, what are you doing here?"


    Nero asked, "Earth is your home planet?"


    Uro said, "You are not on Earth. You are on a different planet, which is in a different solar system, which is in a different galaxy, which is in a different universe."


    Nero said, "Then why am I here?"


    Uro: "Because you got the power of the strongest members in our 3rd groups."


    Nero: "Powers? Woah! That''s kinda interesting story, I actually liked it. Well, who is the writer? The white bat or what?"


    (Laughs) "Well, nice joke, but I literally have to go to school tomorrow, plus I have 2 weeks'' pending homework."


    Benji: "Who the hell gave him powers?"


    Yuji: "Guess what!? He was the last one to touch him."


    Nero: "Who are you talking about?"


    Yuji: "You saw a guy with red hair on Dead Mountain incident, right?"


    Nero: "Wait, how do you guys know about him? I thought it was a dream."


    Uro: "It wasn¡¯t. Actually, the guy who killed him just recreates the memory of people who show incidents except you, and we know why."


    Nero: "Why?"


    Uro (with an irritated face): "Because he wanted to start war, take plasma through you."


    Nero: "Okayyy, so what is plasma?"


    Yuji: "It¡¯s a special kind of element, which is more powerful than any of the other 5 elements. There was only one guy in 50 billion years who was able to acquire it."


    Nero: "So where is he now?"


    Yuji: "He''s dead. He was killed by element gods, who are the creators of this elements."


    Nero: "Nice, so now can I go?"


    Benji: "Why the f*** are you not taking it seriously?"


    Nero: "Because it doesn''t make any sense, that''s why."


    Benji (Earth user) throws a rock with his power at him.


    Nero (shocked): "Wow, wow, wow, stop, stop, stop, OK, OK, I get it, I get it!"


    Benji: "Yeah, you should!"


    Now Elder gets up from the throne and said to Nero that, "Now you get the basics, that''s why we are doing this and why you are here. Then let''s begin our training."


    Nero (speaking lazily): "Training?"


    Elder: "Yes, and it''s gonna start right now."


    Uro: "Just look at yourself, you just start sweating just by walking one step (laughed)."


    Nero ignores¡­


    And then the hard training start¡­ Can Nero surpass all warrior in the groups?

 Chapter - 3

    Chapter - 3


    After the 5 years of training, he asks a question that he had: What was Sine doing on Earth?


    So Nero asks the Elder that why Sine went to Earth and who was the guy with the cloth mask.


    Elder said: "Hmmm... So... The thing is the plasma is hidden on Earth, and nobody knows except us elders. But since strange things are happening on Earth, we had to tell everyone about plasma."


    Nero: "Strange things?"


    Elder: "Yeah, you should know that Sine was there to protect plasma from the cloth mask guy, and it''s because he already knew that there is plasma, actually. But it''s been 5 years, I mean 15 years on EM-1 planet or Earth, but still, he didn¡¯t try to get plasma. That only means he wasn''t after plasma but he was after something else."


    Nero: "Hmm... I see. Well, the thing is, when he was at the edge of death, he was looking so angry, and he wanted to say something, but after he looked at the cloth mask guy, he died."


    Elder: "Wait a sec, he wanted to tell you something?"


    Nero: "What does that mean?"


    Elder: "It''s the time. The thing is, he wasn¡¯t shocked or angry by looking at you. He was shocked by looking at your sister because she is the second strongest member in our group."


    Nero: "What!? That means she already knew about that cloth mask guy!?"


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.Elder: "No, because Sine erased all her memory to send Nero to Earth and to save plasma."


    Nero: "Then why was Sine angry?"


    Elder: "Because you are his brother, and you both exist in the same universe. And it¡¯s against the rule to have a protector from the same universe. That¡¯s why¡­"


    Nero: "But why is that?"


    Elder: "You will know it soon enough. Just be patient, patient."


    Nero: "So what now?"


    Elder: "First, we need to bring her back memories."


    Nero: "Yeah! Now let¡¯s see who got more powerful!" (laughing)


    Elder: "So what the thing is, you just need to tap on her head, and she will remember everything."


    Nero: "Just tap!?"


    Elder: "That¡¯s what Sine did to erase her memory."


    Nero: "Sooo¡­ I just need to bring her memories back?"


    Elder: "Yes, she will remember her all powers again, and she will become the strongest member of this group."


    Nero: "Strongest?? Oooo... I see. Maybe I am now here; that¡¯s why you forgot about me. Why don¡¯t we say second strongest member after me!?"


    Elder: "You are the weakest one here, actually."


    Nero: "Whaaaaaaattttttttt?????"


    Elder: "You need a lot of training to get stronger. You need to prove to us that you are worthy of this power."


    Nero: "So, how do I do that?"


    Elder (huff): "I can¡¯t send you on any mission in this state, so I guess I have to arrange something like¡­ a tournament!?"


    Nero: "A tournament! WOW!! I am gonna beat the ass out of those guys, especially Uro!! that ice cream seller."


    Elder: "Fine then. The tournament will take place in one month. You got only one month to prepare yourself."


    Nero: "Hell yeah!! Now I can finally show my strength to others."


    Nero starts practicing day and night. He creates new moves and many new attacks.


    After a month, the tournament finally begins on a planet which was approximately as big as the Milky Way galaxy.


    The first round of the tournament begins: Reo (Group 1), who has the power of Earth, vs. Zedd (Group 4), who has the power of Electric (a special member from Group 4).


    Will Nero be able to win tournament? Can he defeat all members of groups?

 Chapter - 4

    The first round of the tournament begins: Reo (Group 1), who has the power of Earth, vs. Zedd (Group 4), who has the power of Electric (a special member from Group 4).


    Nero asks Uro: "Are these guys strong?"


    Uro replied: "Ummmm... kinda..."


    Nero: "Kinda?"


    Uro: "Yeah, but in this round, it''s completely a one-sided match."


    Nero: "What do you mean one-sided?"


    Uro: "You see¡­ if Earth goes against Lightning, Reo might be strong and almost max-powerful, but Zedd is just faster than light. I know Zedd. For more than 100 years, he only focuses on his speed and only one attack. That one attack can also defeat me if I was hit by it. But I can see his moves, that''s where he loses to me."


    Nero: "Wait, you can see future moves?! That¡¯s so cool. I want to learn it too!"


    Uro: "It''s not that simple. You need to train as much as you can and also learn the ability of your opponent."


    The fight begins.


    Reo starts with his "Rock Rumble" move where all stones turn into spikes and tries to catch the enemy. He is running, but in this case, Zedd tries to reflect his own attack on him, so he starts running toward Reo. But Reo somehow dodges his own attack.


    Zedd starts laughing and says: "Nice dodge, Reo, let''s¡­"


    A rock hammer hits right at Zedd''s face!!


    Zedd hit directly on the ground. After a few seconds, he woke up and said...


    "Okay¡­ let¡¯s end this right now" In an angry tone, Zedd teleports behind Reo and used light attack named 49000 K.v attack. And it directly hit Roi and he fall unconscious Referee started counting to 1¡­ 2¡­ and 3, and Zedd won in one touch.


    Nero: "Woh!! He just won in one touch!"


    Uro: "Not a big surprise for me, of course."


    The second round was between Nero vs Ishi (Group 4). Ishi has the power of Ice.


    Uro: "Come on Ishi, beat that guy¡¯s ass!"


    Nero: "Ahh¡­ This bastard again!"


    Ishi: "I heard you are a new member of Group 3, hmm¡­ nice. I hope I get a real competition."


    Nero (taking position): "You bet" (smiling).


    Nero¡¯s aura starts increasing, and all the audience from different universes start feeling it.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    Ishi: "There we go!"


    Nero starts running towards Ishi in super speed, but Ishi punches Nero on his stomach so hard that he flew throughout the boundary line. Nero lost the round and became unconscious.


    The crowd starts laughing.


    Uro: "Ow¡­ Hell¡­ Nah¡­ even I expected something from him. But there we go¡­ yeah¡­"


    Nero said: "How am I so weak even after I had the power of the strongest warriors?"


    Nero instantly got some weird feeling, and a guy with a mask appeared in his brain (The one who was on the highway incident). He said just one word: "LOSER."


    After that, Nero got a flashback of Sine covered with blood. Nero¡¯s aura again starts increasing. His eyes start becoming black in color, and it was looking like he is not conscious. Nero rapidly dashed toward Ishi and passed through him.


    Nobody realized what happened. Everyone got shocked after what happened. They all saw Ishi¡¯s intestines go, and Guts were out, hanging and covered with blood.


    Everyone was shocked and said, "Is he dead?"


    "OMG, that''s so brutal,"


    "Wow look, his Guts are out, that''s so thrilling!"


    Roi (Special member of Group 3) (Has power of Healing, and he is immortal and he is the smartest person in omniverse).


    Roi''s face was irritated and was like:


    "Again all this sh*t!"


    Roi cut his stomach and put onto Ishi''s body part. And he starts healing.


    Nero was going to attack Roi, too, but Uro froze Nero''s leg and tried to make him unconscious by brain freezing, but instead of getting unconscious, he came back to normal.


    Uro starts wondering why his brain freezing power doesn¡¯t work on him even if he is more powerful than him.


    Roi said: "Wow!! What a weird thing. He can¡¯t control his power in normal form. That was his ''Ikari Ketai Rage 1''!"


    Uro: "rage 1?? This sounds so cringe"


    Roi: "Well..., like who knows how many rages forms he has, but we can¡¯t ignore the fact that he killed Ishi in one shot. We have to make a backup plan to avoid coincidence. But it looks like you are his biggest weakness and for that, you have to become max stronger."


    Uro: "Yaa¡­ but my power, like brain freeze, doesn¡¯t work on him. I don¡¯t know why, but this thing is buzzing me off."


    Roi: "So? Isn¡¯t that confusing?"


    Uro: "Isn¡¯t that confusing?? You serious? Even in Sine¡¯s body was affected when his power isn¡¯t activated."


    Roi: "Ooo¡­ I get it now. Nero still doesn¡¯t know how to affect [control] his power. He is always activating his given powers. That¡¯s why he is wastes all his energy so many times and can¡¯t even use his full potential."


    Uro: "So we have to teach him, don¡¯t we?"


    Roi: "Ya, it looks like that."


    Uro: "Yeah, I will teach him in ''my way''!"


    Will Nero be able to control his power? Can Uro teach him with all this hate against Nero?

 Chapter - 4.2

    Tournament, Part - 2


    Nero said, "Ask what happened to me."


    Elder: "Ahh, it was nothing. You just lost the round."


    Nero: "I am... so... sorry for what happened. I thought I would win the round, but it was like... my fault that I underestimated my opponent and my fighting techniques are too bad."


    Elder: "It''s fine. The tournament isn''t over yet. You could learn from their fights."


    Nero: "I guess you are right."


    Nero went to the tournament again and sat down, watching the tournament. Uro and Roi sat next to him to talk with him. Round 4 was between Yuji (Group-4) vs. Enimo (Group-6).


    Enimo is a special member of Group-6. He has the power of infinite speed and infinite strength.


    The Round-3 begins. Enimo said: "Okay Yuji, don''t be so hard on me. I know I will lose, but be polite, OK!!"


    Enimo directly spawned behind Yuji and punched him in the chest, but Yuji''s chest just turned into flame, and something like flame just created on Enimo''s wrist. The flame grabbed Enimo''s wrist, and the flame started converting into Yuji''s body.


    Enimo tried to run with his infinity speed, and because Yuji was holding his wrist, he couldn''t even move an inch.


    Then, Yuji said with a smile: "No displacement, no acceleration, no velocity, no speed, no strength."


    Enimo was looking at him with feared eyes. Yuji just punched Enimo straight to the face, and Enimo became unconscious. Yuji won the round.


    Nero was shocked and asked Roi: "Wow... how strong is Yuji? Enimo was with infinity speed and strength but still couldn''t do a thing!"


    Roi: "Well, of course, he is the 3rd strongest member in all Group-5 group members."


    Nero: "Who''s first?"


    Roi: "Of course, Sine."


    Nero said: "Then who is second?"


    Roi: "The one who is sitting here... Right next to you"


    Nero: "YOU!!!"


    Roi said: "No¡­ that''s Uro."


    Nero just dropped his jaw.


    Nero said: "But how?... is he stronger than me?"


    Roi said: "It''s obvious Yuji is a fire-style user and Uro is an ice-style user. They are perfect opponents for each other."


    "Why is Uro stronger than Yuji''s fire? Fire can melt ice easily." Nero asked.


    Roi: "But it isn''t only about which element has a better advantage; it also depends on how they use their abilities differently."


    Nero: "How is that supposed to mean?"


    Roi explained: "Uro can turn anything into ice and, of course, Blood has over 90% of water. So, he can use his ability to freeze his opponent''s brain, which paralyzes them and makes them unable to defend anymore."


    Nero: "Ooohhh¡­"


    Speaker: "Now the round begins with Valen (Group 1) vs. Roi (Group 3). The powers of Ice vs. Roi!"


    Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    (Group 3) Roi is a special member who has powers of regeneration (with no limitation) and super intelligence in multi-universes.


    The battle begins, and Valen was very scared to move. But suddenly Roi said, "I surrender!"


    Valen was shocked, and everyone in the stadium audience was shaken that someone like Roi, who is immortal and the strongest guy, surrendered.


    But of course, some smart guys weren¡¯t surprised like Uro. Nero wasn¡¯t shocked, but he was confused. Nero asked Uro, "I have a question."


    Uro replied: "Spit that out."


    Nero asked: "Does it hurt when he gets cut, or does he not feel anything?"


    Uro explained: "Yes, it hurts but about twice as much as normal wound."


    Nero: "Ohhh¡­ so that''s why he surrendered?"


    Uro said: "It''s a good reason, and also the opponent of his is the weakest of them all, even weaker than you!"


    Nero: "Ohhh!"


    Uro: "And Roi is kind-hearted. That''s why he surrendered. He wanted him to win."


    Nero: "I see."


    And after a few hours of matches, the winners were finally announced for the rounds. The winners from different groups were:


    From Group 1: Valen and Darius


    From Group 2: Winoc


    From Group 3: Uro and Thiago


    From Group 4: Zedd, Ishi, Jade, Rory, and Pq


    From Group 5: Denver and Queen


    Nero was utterly shocked that all members of Group 4 won and didn¡¯t even lose a single round.


    The next match was about to begin. Then suddenly, an elder came to Nero and said that he needed to get back to Earth to retrieve his sister ¡°Nini.¡±


    Nero asked, "Why?"


    The elder replied, "I don¡¯t have much time to explain. Go back and come with Nini as fast as possible."


    Nero immediately went to Earth. While heading there, Nero heard the voice of the elder.


    The elder said, "Hello! Nero, can you hear me?"


    Nero replied, "Elder? Yes, I can hear you!"


    The elder said, "Good. This is a technique to communicate across long distances. You need to get there as fast as possible because your sister is in danger."


    Nero asked, "What?!"


    The elder explained, "Yes, and because she doesn¡¯t know how to use her power, she can¡¯t defend herself."


    Nero responded, "Damn it, I gotta move faster."


    (Scene Change)


    Due to the elder¡¯s announcement, the tournament rules and match opponents were changed. The new lineup was:


    Round 1: Uro vs. Zedd, Ishi, Jade, Rory, and Pq


    Round 2: Yuji vs. Winoc, Valen, Queen, and Thiago


    Round 3: Darius vs. Pq and Denver


    Darius became very angry. He felt insulted and said, "How dare they insult me like this (angrily). They think I am weak!"


    The round was about to begin.


    (Scene Change to Space)


    Nero: "What is this all about? Who is trying to kidnap her?"


    The elder: "It¡¯s a long story. In short, she has something very important."


    "She knows the detail about plasma, and if our enemy extract her memories, then it might be a big problem,"


    Nero said. "And who is our enemy?"


    The Elder replied, "People with evil intentions. If they find out about plasma, it¡¯s over."


    Nero: "Who is doing all this?"


    Elder: "Neon!"


    Nero: "Neon?!"


    (Scene Change to Tournament)


    Radio: "The battle begins between Yuji vs. Winoc, Valen, Queen, and Thiago."


    The battle starts with Winoc throwing rocks at Yuji using his telekinesis powers. Yuji melts them by releasing a heat wave. Queen, with his magic spell, creates a barrier around his teammates. The barrier is heat-resistant.


    Valen tries to attack with ice, but it melts.


    Winoc said, "Don¡¯t attack recklessly, Valen!"


    Thiago to Valen: "Are you stupid, or what? We need your powers, so don¡¯t waste your energy like this."


    Valen: "Okay."


    Thiago uses an attack called "Terra Fusion," which creates a muddy trap under Yuji¡¯s feet. Yuji starts sinking into the mud and couldn¡¯t move his legs.


    Winoc: "Now!"


    Queen creates a heat resistant barrier around his allies.


    Queen (with a smile): "Alright!"


    Winoc: "Valen, create a strong ice weapon."


    Valen: "Um... Ah, yeah, I will try."


    Valen tries to create a strong ice weapon, and he creates a big, bold spear.


    Winoc: "Good! Alright, Queen, remove my barrier and use it on his spear."


    Queen: "What?!"


    Winoc: "Do as I say..."


    Queen creates a barrier around the spear. Winoc uses telekinesis power and throws the spear with full power. The spear almost reaches the speed of light. Because of Queen¡¯s barrier, it didn¡¯t melt.


    The spear directly passes through Yuji. Blood scatters.


    Winoc: "NOW, Queen create an another magic barri--- (Blood coughing): "What...?"


    Yuji: "This is the difference between you and me."


    Winoc realizes that the spear hits himself, not Yuji.


    Winoc: "How...?"


    Yuji: "You were in my Metsubou. With this I can create a seamless loop of time and space. It creates a reverse space time loop around 3 km of radius so if someone tries to attack me than it will reverse it and hit himself. (whispering to Winoc) I recommend you to give up otherwise my secrete will be reviled.


    What is secret that Yuji is hiding? Will he win the round?

    Chapter 5


    With me and no matter who you attack it will only hurt yourself." Valen froze Yuji''s leg.


    Winoc: "Stop it!! Idiot, He can kill you in an instant."


    Yuji: "Hmm... Looks like someone''s in hurry."


    Thaigo throws a huge rock on Yuji, and it hit on Yuji¡¯s head. Yuji¡¯s eye slowly becomes red. He pawned behind Thaigo and directly one-shot Thaigo.


    Uro was looking at Yuji with an evil laugh and said, "You changed, Yuji¡­ So, this is the power you keep it hidden, huh? Then LET''S MEET IN FINAL ROUND."


    Winoc: "Is¡­ is this your Saigo Keitai?"


    Yuji: "Huh¡­ You really think that I will use my Saigo Keitai for weaklings like you? That¡¯s right! I can kill you all, right now without using my Saigo Keitai."


    Thiago: "(He''s changed!! His tone, his voice, his behaviour, his everything, even his attitude. Everything is changed! What happened to him!?)"


    Yuji teleports behind Valen and direct crush his head and pushed through ground.


    (Scene Changes)


    Nero almost reached Earth. Elder: "Go fast."


    Nero: "I am already at my maximum speed."


    Nero finally reaches Earth. He quickly finds his house.


    (Scene of House from inside)


    NPC Enemy 1: "Come on quickly. Do it fast, we don¡¯t have much time left and remember we only need to recover her intel don''t recover her power."


    This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.


    Nero was outside his house, he was heading towards his house before he realized that there was a barrier around it, and Nero: "Pathetic."


    Nero destroyed the barrier with one fire splash.


    NPC Enemy 1: "Shit! They are here. Our barrier is broken, brace!!"


    NPC Enemy 2: "Shit! I can''t concentrate. You handle the outsiders."


    Nero: "Well, well, well!!, guys, I am in a very bad mood, you know. I just lost a tournament in 1<sup>st</sup> round. So, I will just practice my moves with you, alright?"


    NPC 1: "What!?!?"


    Before NPC 1 can make any move, Nero jumps, just jumped on his shoulder and grabs his head and decapitate.


    NPC 1¡¯s head was in Nero¡¯s hand, and Nero was standing on NPC 1¡¯s shoulder. Nero landed on the ground.


    Nero: Now I see that you can recover memories, huh?!! So¡­ recover her memories with¡­ powers."


    NPC 2: "Wh¡­ What..?!! Why would I?"


    Nero: "To stay alive."


    NPC 2: "Huh?!"


    Nero: "That¡¯s right. I will kill you if you don¡¯t recover her memory."


    NPC 2: "Haha! Even I did he will kill me for sure."


    Nero: "So, it¡¯s either you recover the memory or you die slowly in pain."


    NPC 2: "You don¡¯t know him. He¡¯s way more cruel than you imagine."


    Nero: "Yeah, yeah, whatever. So, I will kill you in an instant. How about that?"


    NPC 2: "Huh¡­? What¡­?"


    Nero: "Yup."


    NPC 2 (laughs): "Wow, you are different from the other group members I have met¡­ Who are you?"


    Nero: "Nero."


    NPC 2: "I see."


    NPC 2 starts recovering her powers and memories soon.


    (Scene Changes)


    Yuji grabbed Valen¡¯s head and hit him on the ground multiple times. Even referee finished the round. The audience were shocked. Uro enter the field with evil smile. He tried to brain freeze him with his 100% of power. It didn¡¯t unconscious him but, somehow, he got in under control.


    The next round was about to begin.


    Uro goes near Yuji and says: "See you in the final round." (Laughs)


    Match 2 was about to begin.


    (Scene Changes)


    Nero: "So, tell me about your Boss! Who is he? Or what is he?"


    NPC 2: "Nobody knows his face or name¡­ He is anonymous. But he is a scientist too who does experiments with living beings."


    Nero: "What kind of experiments?"


    NPC 2: "They are just horrible! An eternity ago, he wanted to create a living being capable of absorbing plasma. He sacrificed countless numbers of people, but in the end, he FAILED and he gave up on it. And I heard that one of the elder from 5 groups was with him in that experiment who was helping him. The people worked with our boss back then, knew who was that elder. But unfortunately, they are all dead or killed by our boss. And that¡¯s the only thing I know about the Boss."


    Who is this boss? And what type of experiment does he do, and who is the traitor among the elders?

 Chapter - 6

    Chapter ¨C 6


    Nero: "Any info about those experiments?"


    NPC 2: "Nope."


    NPC 2: "It''s almost ready. She will wake up at any time."


    Nero: "(With no expression) Thanks, what''s your name?"


    NPC 2: "Not important, but you can call me Moth. I felt good with you. And I like how she is important for you but also, I feel bad for you."


    Nero: "What?! What do you mean?"


    NPC 2: "Nothing, now just kill me."


    Nero put his hand in front of NPC 2''s face and said, "Thank you," and NPC 2 was dead without pain.


    Nini opened her eyes. Nini opened her eyes, she saw Nero. She got shocked and said, "You?! What are you doing here?!"


    Nero: "OH¡­ so you still remember me, huh?"


    Nini: "What do you mean?"


    Nero: "You remember your powers, right?"


    Nini: "P-Powers? What are you talking about?"


    Nero lifted his hand and ignited his hand with fire.


    Nini: "(With a shocked sound) Wait, what? Why is this with you? Wait that highway incident? Sine¡­ what happen to him?"


    Nero: "OH¡­ he''s dead."


    Nini started getting emotional and said, "Oh, you remember the highway incident?"


    Nero: "Come on, elder is calling. We need to go."


    (Scene Changes)


    Round 2 was already over.


    Audience: "Woah, what just happened?"


    Uro just created some smoke, and all became unconscious.


    Yuji: (Hum¡­, he first created an ice smoke, and then he uses his brain freeze technique on all at once. That cheater, he was on complete advantage. Without fire power its impossible to beat him.)


    Roi: That¡¯s not true at all.


    Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.


    Yuji: Huh, how did you¡­?


    Roi: I just guess what you are thinking by your expression.


    Yuji: So, what were you saying?


    Roi: You see, in previous battles he fought I notice that he can only use his brain freezing technique within 100 metres of radius. I remember once Sine and Uro were doing hardcore training with their full power and Sine might be the only one who knew all weakness of Uro. Yet, Uro was able to go toe to toe with Sine. At that moment I realize that Uro may have power to obtain plasma.


    Yuji: So, I don¡¯t stand a chance against him, huh?


    Roi: I really don¡¯t know because I have never saw you in your full potential. But the thing you did in last round. I sense an abnormal energy¡­ like a dark power beyond your own power.


    Uro: "Well, well. Now it''s time. YUJI!"


    Round 3 begins.


    With Uro vs Yuji.


    The fight begins. Yuji uses fireballs on Uro. Uro easily dodges them.


    Uro tries to make Yuji unconscious using brain freeze techniques. Yuji starts losing control, but he increases his body temperature.


    Uro: "I knew it!"


    Uro was already ready with another new attack called "Freezbie", and it directly hit Yuji¡¯s face.


    Yuji starts losing control of his power. He starts acting weird.


    Yuji: "Enough of this, let''s begin the real fight."


    Uro: "Huh? That''s what I want!"


    Yuji continuously attacks Uro, and Uro keeps defending himself. Yuji create a sword with fire and tries to direct hit Uro. Uro somehow dodge that.


    Uro throws ice knife on Yuji and it got hit right on stomach. Uro didn¡¯t stop here he keeps throwing it and it keeps hitting Yuji. Yuji¡¯s eye start turning red again. Uro realize that his knife is getting melt even before it touches Yuji¡¯s body.


    Uro creates a small portal and grabs a black sword. Yuji created a Dark red sword.


    Roi: (shocked) (What? Uro is using an ¡®Ebon sword¡¯ that is capable of freezing anything and can destroy a universe with a single slash. And Yuji¡­ Its impossible this can¡¯t be. Did he just create an ¡®Infernal Bloodfang¡¯? It can be created by user¡¯s own blood and fire. But it was banned long time ago, after ¡®Aetheris incident¡¯ it is known as one of the most destructive weapons in whole multiverse.)


    Elder 1: (terrifyingly) What? If this two weapon clashes than this whole place will left in dust.


    Elder 5: Not only that it might even destroy this Metaverse.


    Roi (on speaker): Attention everybody, please teleport as far as you can from this place NOW. I repeat, please evacuate as far as possible immediately.


    All Elders created a strong barrier around the stadium. To decrease the destruction area.


    But¡­ something or someone above the sky, directly break the Elder¡¯s barrier and landed in the middle stadium.


    Who was that person who landed on stadium?

 Chapter - 7: X

    X


    Surprisingly the cloth mask guy just landed on the tournament, and he just blocked the weapons of Uro and Yuji at the same time. Uro and Yuji stepped back instantly.


    Cloth mask guy: Hello, Ladies and Gods. My name is¡­ let¡¯s just say ¡®X¡¯. My name is X.


    Uro: You are the one who killed Sine


    X: That¡¯s right, it was me. Such a weak fellow.


    Yuji: Why did you do it? What is your real intention??


    X: He got what he deserves¡­ (coldly)


    Elder of Group 3 teleport into tournament ground. He got shocked!! Every Gradians stepped into the tournament ground.


    Elder 3: (Very shocked) Why¡­ Why¡­ am I feeling the presence of plasma in you?!


    Zedd: Impossible! But we never felt any strange things near Earth. Then, how?


    Elder 3: (angrily) Who are you, actually?


    X: Huff* Who am I? Who am I? (slightly smiling) I¡­ am¡­ your DEATH.


    Elder 3: My¡­ Death?? What are you even talking about?


    X: You will see later¡­ When your death will stand in front of you.


    Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    Uro: Enough talking.


    Uro tries to attack with his Ice sword. X easily dough it.


    X: Hey¡­ Hey chill, I was here to take someone with me, but I guess he didn¡¯t acquire his powers yet.


    Yuji: (He is talking about Nero.)


    X: He should have acquired his powers by now, but he didn¡¯t, maybe someone is stopping him to acquire his real powers¡­ (with little evil smile) Isn¡¯t it right, 3rd Elder?


    Elder 3: No matter what happens, I will stop you from what you are trying to do.


    X: Try it or lose it. See you next time.


    Then he suddenly teleport.


    Elder 3: Roi, Lets head to the lab.


    In the Lab,


    Elder 3: Show me, in how many timelines has Plasma already acquired by someone.


    Roi: Data shows that¡­ wait a second¡­ Impossible¡­


    Elder 3: What happened?


    Roi: It shows¡­ this timeline is the last timeline where plasma isn¡¯t acquired by anyone.


    Elder 3: What? There has to be some timeline where Plasma isn¡¯t acquired my anyone, there are countless number of timelines. How can ours is the only one where plasma isn¡¯t acquired??


    Roi: When last time we checked, 18 years ago, almost every plasma was safe and were didn¡¯t acquired by anyone. How come in short of this period he was able to acquire all plasma??


    Elder 3: He is not alone. There has to someone who is helping him. Who could it be??


    Ervical planet (somewhere in the universe), X entered the castle. There was someone sitting on thorn but, his face was hidden in darkness.


    X: Work is done. She regained all of her memories.


    Unknown: Well done. Now I have to go back in future I can¡¯t stay any longer in past.


    X: Since we are the same person with same body. May I know what do we have to do with Nero?


    The guy who was sitting on thorn was none other than X¡¯s Future version


    X (Future): (with little smile) you will know it late on. But here is the hint. In future, he is the main villain of your story. Even with plasma in my hand he still might be able to defeat me.


    X: How did he get those powers maybe I might be able to stop him to acquire it. It will help you or let¡¯s say it will help me in future.


    X (Future): Do whatever you want. I don¡¯t have much time. I still don¡¯t have enough power to defeat all Gods of elements. After all we need to bring back her from death.


    ¡°Who is X (Future) talking about? Why he fears Nero so much? And most important WHO IS X??¡±


    (Note: Throughout the whole chapter X never reviled his face not even in Ervical Planet)
