《Where Everything Begins》 Chapter 1: Confusing Mysteries After Victorious Triumph Chapter 1: Confusing Mysteries After Victorious Triumph The final matchup begins in District Nine, at the District 9 tournament; my teammates and I are on the school¡¯s soccer team bus, which is specially for the soccer team, and is running to the tournament. This final tournament is crucial because it has this nice cup, deserved by the teams that have the most dominant and best teams. However, getting the cup is a difficult journey, because many schools have their star players, various and excellent in terms of skills, I¡¯ve witnessed a lot to bring up that statement, with my third-year elders. This year is the final year for my third-year elders, too, why? Because it is their last year as high schoolers, they¡¯ve put much effort and love into soccer, it is proven through how eager and excited they are after school time, also, it is the reason why my school started investing more in soccer, and began to open more opportunities with different tournaments. As many matches went on, my elders were the ones who made the school famous until this day started to show their appearance in front of the audience, their talents have bloomed to the point that they are very eye-catching. However, we faced-to-face with this unknown team in an unknown school last year, it was a bitter and harsh game since my elders had a lot of chances to score, but somehow the shots were always off, also, one person was injured, he plays striker, the most important role in a football match; I joined the team as a sophomore, everything from the start seems nice and peace, as time goes on, I felt unusual feelings when it comes to encountering my elders or to play a football match, something within telling me to burst out everything, I remembered correctly, it said: ¡°give your everything, don¡¯t waste your time !¡± ¡°But give what ?¡± I don¡¯t know where the voice came from. I ensured it was in my head, but my mindset doesn¡¯t think like that. In a simpler term, it must be something like a synchronization voice or sympathy from someone transferring to me. I heard it for the first time in my sophomore year. Then, I don¡¯t claim the voice later on, it has been a year, leaving me a question mark, I am the type of person who watches anime, especially fantasy, and fiction. It was granted to me since I am curious, and that is why I am bothered when the truths aren¡¯t revealed. But this thing is more interesting, days passed, and I strangely have witnessed this alone, my elders have been getting weaker and weaker, not like being absorbed, but like they are not as good as before I joined. It made me ask myself about my existence, ¡°Is it my visible form that makes people¡­No it can¡¯t be, it is too dreamy.¡± I grimaced after the impossible and unacceptable thought. Still, my elders had been getting straight bad days for a year¡­Just then a solution popped up in my head, it might not be the best solution but I thought it was just an alternative solution to the best solution because I didn¡¯t want to think further then got myself caught up in a miserable cycle of thinking. The solution is ¡°If I don¡¯t go to practice for two or three days, what will happen ?¡± Of course, I will practice at home by myself at the local park with kids in my area, they are small but have great potential. Anyway, the solution was very simple, I don¡¯t think it will work, however, my parents don¡¯t care about what I do that much since I¡¯m already in high school. I knew that my parents wanted me to be more independent, they wouldn''t get around me too much except when everything was going too far. In my opinion, it is a good way to discipline their child, thus then the child, in this situation like me, can get away with being scolded. I''ve taken responsibility for everything since then like numbers, relationships, and food, those are things I have to tend to. Using this as an advantage, I easily make excuses for three or four days free. I talked to my coach ¡°Coach, can I get three or four days free ?¡± ¡°Sure, but let me know why. Also, is this your first time asking for free days? hah! A good way to ask for breaks¡­¡± ¡°I am going for a trip, it took only four days.¡± ¡°Yeah, sure!¡± My coach was kinda easy-going, I don¡¯t think it would work because the coach would find something to cut me off by forcing me not to do it, but this time is different, it seems the coach had a plan on that already. Probably, I was just overthinking, everything was still normal from how it looked. The honk whistled, the first string, the strongest lineup in my school had the players going out on the main field. First, both sides have to stand on the horizontal line, where the position of the ball is in the middle of the line. Then, the referee started lecturing rules to us, which we already knew. After explanations, the kickoff started, and the first side to claim the ball was my team. Nice play from my team, the passes were given without getting tackled, I sat on the bench observing the play gives me feelings of satisfaction, So nostalgic, it always has been like this, matches from my elders are always eye-catching to watch, they play aggressive and smart, adding up to that is their talents such as power, speed, and others. Thus, I didn¡¯t have a chance to get in, I stood on the field several times but those were not satisfactory matches because those times when I got the ball, I messed up, I dribbled and got stolen, shots got blocked, the negative thoughts started blending in, messing up my mind. My mindset is so bad, that I always think of how people would react with their behaviors and facial expressions. Also, I would think of bad results which ultimately crush my best. Therefore, I thought a lot but didn¡¯t take action, which is why my muscle memory is not well trained to have me in a good state. My mind has much to say, it is dispersed, not in a straight order, and I don¡¯t have anyone to share my true beliefs and thoughts with. Wait, I am still thinking like this, to please people and understand others, that¡¯s the only thing that I thought I cooked but maybe not because I don¡¯t believe that my answers are corrected; mistakes and accuracy are very thin. In my entire life, I got used to keeping my thoughts in my head because I hate the feeling of being corrected because they don¡¯t give me good advice with sweetness, instead, a full message of mocking. I don¡¯t understand why these people are like that, maybe they inherited it from their parents or maybe they hate my face, it goes either way, I don¡¯t know. The opponent¡¯s team is full of star players, very famous, still, they don¡¯t have the chance to bear anything to my team, we are on another level, that¡¯s why my school is called the best reasons. The match was not completely on one side, the other¡¯s team had speed, physical, and shot power. It is something you see every day in nationals, the players appeared strong in a variety of aspects, and a genius would be called a monster. Unfortunately, my team has genius players, they are exceptionally outstanding. I looked at the bench beside me, the substitute players were sitting just like me, hoping for a chance to get in the match. We are on the second string of the team, lower than the first string about skills, not intelligence probably. I trained hard but the result is a hard worker cannot beat a genius, therefore I am staying in the second strand. Not stopping there, I continued training, hilariously, I felt the ¡°monsters¡± wouldn¡¯t just keep evolving, so I stepped out and thought, ¡°I should train on positioning and scoring, most importantly, dribbling¡±, to get a pass, I must find a good position. However, I may not have a chance to play on the field. Thus, I take out my phone, and click on the game that I always enjoy¡­ Suddenly, a player got fouled so hard, the guy was in a good position to score but the opponent who fouled¡­Well, I think he just wanted to win regardless. One of the guys in my team stepped up to bash the fouler, he said. ¡°What is the problem with you?¡± ¡°I want to win.¡± ¡°You want to win? Then play more nicely.¡± I didn¡¯t hear exactly what they said, but I compensated for the slackness by putting in polite words. After that an actual fight began, and the stadium was full of people started to yell, supporting the fight between them. The coaches must have to interrupt to stop the fight, both sides apologized to each other and swore to not play like that again. Meanwhile, an ambulance came, the injured person was put on a soft black leather sheet, and people gently brought him to the ambulance. I was staring and feeling sorry for him since it was his last match, I did not want to take this as an advantage. The coach will decide which player is going to play. Then, it is time to pick a player for substitution. The coach said the name out loud, and I couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Hey, Kinter, you are going to play this role for him¡± ¡°Yes, coach¡± is all I responded to a fortune that was given to me. I will play a midfielder, an important role in a team. The midfielder has the role of giving passes and dribbling to the opponent¡¯s side. I admired the coach since he knew what I was good at, and I admired him even more for that. ¡°Kinter, come play! You took so much time, man¡± Oh yeah, I have to go out on the field and start playing¡­I went out and randomly looked back at the coach. ¡°!?¡±An unusual trail of light was flowing through the coach¡¯s eyes. ¡°What is that ?¡± I thought, left me with an unfathomable feeling on the field. I tried to forget what I saw and marked it as an imaginable thing from my mind, it was just that my mind is not very clear today. I thought too much today, just a regular activity, I would think more than that every day, and won¡¯t get affected. Why today? Is it my body getting weak today or something? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ The ball was thrown to me by my teammate on the line. As a midfielder, I started to look around for an opportunity, looking for a pass or I would dribble and wait for my teammates to get in a good position¡­ ¡°Give your everything, you fucking low self-esteem!¡± A voice from nowhere sounded so clear and big, but no one said that. ¡°Huh!?¡± The voice was right. I do not want to underestimate myself anymore. Instead of thinking and dreaming, the big chance was given to me right here, the chance to stand on the field with geniuses. I must take it and fulfill it to its finest. So alternatively¡­ ¡°Kinter, you are holding the ball too long¡± A teammate said that. ¡°Go for it Kinter, I would love to see you do something.¡± Another teammate added. ¡°ISO, are you¡­going to defeat all of them alone?!¡± That is right. I will take this path alone to the opponent¡¯s net, I alone will shine in this rally. Multi-choices burst out of my brain, giving me a lot of ways to defeat any defenders on this field. Oh, a guy came up to me right away, just as I expected. It was just a common behavior for which the attacker was attacking. ¡°First time you play right or vice versa ?¡± ¡°Yes, elder, and you are going to be the first one that I will be going to defeat in the next move.¡± Pulling a crossing right toward my defender to go right, as regarded it was left for my defender. I was about to surpass him, he tucked his leg out to tackle the ball. ¡°!?¡± All defenders will do this if they are moderate defenders, but they are geniuses so I just know what they are going to do. Not trying to say that I am smart, It was just my experience kicking in. Immediately, I pulled a La Croqueta, passing my defender. I thought I went by him but then he reached himself enough to nearly catch the ball. However, it was all in expectation. I nutmegged him and went through him this time. It is not that simple since all of the guys here are geniuses. I used my head because it is the most useful thing in a battle with geniuses. Unspokenly, I always use my head in a normal state. The next obstacles came up¡­ Two guys were running toward me, yup, it will be often that one guy or two guys going straight up to cover the other person after making a mistake or getting went by. I nodded my head, surely this is a common challenge for strikers, then I must take this as a side quest to upgrade my fame. First, I noticed that the situation was not separate from a person on a person, it was two guys on a person, which meant I had to straight up going for a fight with two guys, going in for the steal. I knew what to do. I started to run back from my defender, I saw him getting confused and asked. ¡°Don¡¯t say that you are scared man, I know you are more than that.¡± ¡°Of course not, I am examining you.¡± ¡°...¡± Because I was far enough to let the other person think I would not go up. This is what I was planning and hoping for. If two guys ran up, I would have used my pace instead. Experience is such a wonderful thing that I appreciate I have, Thank you for being there so I can bring up the solutions from my full-of-ideas head. Fastening, I did a Sombrero Flick. The ball was rolling over the opponent¡¯s head, leaving him in perplexity. I breathed and went for the next guy. This time I did not think this would come up or have a visual solution. At this rate, it depended on my reaction ability. Sure, the reaction is my strongest ability, however, the guy¡¯s reaction was as good as mine¡­ Not letting the defender have time to react, I juggled the ball up over the guy¡¯s top. I went by him, ¡°Why is he so good ?!¡± he whispered and I guessed he would try to catch up to me again¡­I was getting used to this similar situation over and over. I pulled a stop and then left him in bewilderment due to being unable to stop me. After I got through them, I could hear everyone cheering for me. ¡°Nice, you are the shiniest player now¡± ¡°Go!¡± I have to continue, I cannot stop the feeling which is excitedly pouring into my body. In front of me, there are three cornerbacks left. ¡°You cannot surpass us, we are the final walls.¡± ¡°Who said I am going to surpass you ?¡± ¡°Huh!?¡± Fooling him, I posed a shooting posture. Thinking I was going for a shot, he ran all his might to make the last action, stopping the ball. I faked my shot, he was sliding as I went for the right. ¡°No, it can¡¯t be!¡± ¡°Stop right there!¡± I stepped into the forbidden zone, this is where I would have a guarantee of ninety percent of scoring a goal. They were going for me, of course, or it would be an easy goal. Unfortunately, I shot the ball the moment I surpassed the cornerback I faced, making them look at the ball with an expression of despair. The ball was out of reach, the other two cornerbacks could not block the shot. I shoot the ball, going straight to the top left corner. Scoring an unbelievable goal, determined the final score that is five to four. My teammates and the audience yelled in harmony, so loud that I could not even bear the sound, it almost broke the barrier of my ears. After getting patted by my teammates, I and my team started to clap hands with the other team, saying something nice to the other team such as you can get it next year, you can get it next time. I was the one told to lift the cup, no hesitation, I accepted and lifted the cup as high as I could. This was my first time lifting the cup, I knew others in my team had it all since the left striker in my team scored three goals. The tactic, my coach gave, was about two strikers on the top board, the left guy was more honored. Just kidding, they are both great but every match is not the same. He offered to lift it so I happily accepted it, thank you very much. ¡°Great job, my vessel.¡±Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Huh!?¡± The voice appeared and said something seemingly nonsense to me, vessel? It sounded like something lurking on your body and it chose you to be its master or a puppet, waiting for the day to destroy and take your body or wanting to cooperate. I do not know, I read many mangas, and some manga have the details that seem relevant. Anyway, the voice did not say anything from that day after a week when I came back to school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________********************************************************************************** I am walking on the floor, the path, leading to my classroom. Hearing everyone talking about me, especially the girls, it looked like they were saying something nice to me since their reactions said it all. I knew the performance that day was impeccable, there was nothing to complain about. But I feel very shy because I do not like attention, I do not want people looking at me like they expect me to do some sort of thing to relieve them, or I was thinking negatively. This trait has been magnetizing to me for a long time, it is time to get used to this as things are starting to change since the football event. I went into the classroom, and the thing that got me looking was my friends chattering about a newspaper, held by Pew, a chill guy, also, the guy who always brings up information he gathered to tell us, he knows everything in my school because he has learned at this school for seven years. I respect Pew for his curiosity and mild personality, he would often be the one to free the conflicts if an argument broke out. He was holding the newspaper, saying something to the other two. Fevis is an introverted person, he was watching the other two talking while he was standing looking at the newspaper held by Pew. Fevis is the type of person who makes the atmosphere seem boring because he is quiet every time he is in the squad, he speaks randomly, surprising us, thus we cannot know when he talks. I would guess his speeches by looking at his emotions from his expressions, which gave me an idea of when he talks. He would speak if there is something seems wrong, also, when things are looking nice, he starts to compliment ¡°beautiful¡± and many other words to describe the scenes. Despite being quiet around us, I recognized him as a ¡°good¡± friend due to his personality, generous, kind, and friendly, with the reasons listed, I do not hate him. Yusuke, a Japanese dude, transferred to the school last year, meaning, he has learned at the school for two years. He is funny and kind, commonly, it is always the foreigners who are hilarious and talkative. He was talking to Pew about the newspaper, I heard some of the compact words, ¡°A stone with supernatural habitant in it? Haha, this is insane if it was real¡­¡± saying something like that¡­ Wait, the stone has a supernatural habitant? What the hell? This is getting more fiction than I thought. Compelling my mouth shut for the amusing information, I walked toward them, trying to add something to the joke. This must be Pew¡¯s curiosity again, I knew it because sometimes Pew will make jokes by showing fake news to us, Usually, it cannot happen and is casually humorous. ¡°Yo, what is it you guys are talking about? I heard you guys are talking about a¡­¡± ¡°Joke, I knew it¡± Fevis applauded, disrupting my last sentence ¡°Oh did Fevis just speak? What made you speak can you tell?¡± Yusuke asked in surprised ¡°No, I was answering to Kinter, just it.¡± ¡°Kinter, Kinter, check this out, look at this news.¡± Pew eagerly waved his hand to me. ¡°...¡± Holding the paper in hand, I was reading the news as I started to feel like I was living in a manga world. The text was written by the famous newspaper Kuseley producer, always giving reliable information, the text will be deleted immediately after if it is considered fake news. Right here, the newspaper I am holding cannot be mistaken, it was approved to be posted. The text was this ¡°Wandering in Zalek, a place full of rough stones and blue rivers flowing. Our search continues to the point where we find a destination on this new land we discovered. We have found a huge statue made from rough stones, a wonderful sculpture made in the middle of nowhere. It started to get blurred, and we gained the information that the statue will start to transform into a person varies from person, analyzing simpler, the statue changed its form to look like the person looking at it. The pedestal below the statue has a square sign carved in the middle, showing a circle of seven sins, pride, wrath, envy, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. At the center, it showed four dots connecting through the center, two lines intersected at the center, giving it a x-cross image. Underneath, the sign is a board with small words ¡°Instinct should be discovered and preserved for the right person, the center is the original as it tells where everything begins¡­¡± I stopped reading, Feeling interested. Then, I woke up from my unconscious mind, being conscious, I put the interesting in the back, giving comments. ¡°This cannot be real, a whole new mystery was discovered on this planet, I think this is just a starting point of an upcoming apocalypse¡­I do not feel right about this.¡± ¡°Well, people could find a way to prevent it from happening; they have not found anything that could be harmful.¡± Pew nodded and spoke with a regular low tone about the phenomenon. ¡°Let me guess this, seven sins shown symbolize humans, which means something lurking might know about human nature. In other words, humans are disgusting in their eyes, possibly preparing for an exorcism. That means we might get cooked.¡± Yusuke said If an exorcism happens, then the world is going to finish since people do not have anything to insist against magical attacks, therefore, an awakening would grant people supernatural power to fight back, it is just to balance. If humans do not appear to have any superpowers, then the world of fiction cannot happen, its universe and plot will collapse because, in the end, humans are always the winner. This is common in fictional and fantasy books, where imagination is the main point in building up a world or creating a mystery out of nowhere and was just discovered recently. In conclusion, this is where I am living in, a fantasy world. ¡°I am wondering about the word ¡°instinct¡± written on the board. What is it about?¡± Fevis got into the conversation I do not know anything about the ¡°instinct¡± it was saying. A superb theory popped up in my head. To explain what I mean, through generations, we humans learn things, saved into our DNA, an ¡°Instinct¡± to protect and do things without thinking. Everyone is distinguished from each other, and what we usually do will imply our ¡°instinct¡± which generations would claim, doing bad things could be saved, therefore the statute represents the cure of purity and clearness, wanting to save those who are cleansed. While I was thinking, I also heard a mixture of waving and vibration sounds flowing in my stomach. It was loud and noisy, making me stumble. It seems I was the only person who heard the noise. The bell started to ring as it told the class had started. Me, Fevis, Yusuke, and Pew left the newspaper behind. Focusing on the lessons, I was able to forget everything, sitting for hours. Having a lecture about Polymer, I worried I would not learn it well for the semester test which is four months later. Anxious and anxious about the test rather than folklore-like¡­ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ¡°The lesson was hard, I am scared I cannot keep up next topics.¡± ¡°Do not worry, we have Fevis, he will teach it for you.¡± Yusuke sighed after eating his full big course lunch. burped by Pew ¡°Yeah, is it obvious?¡± ¡°Pew, You should watch your manners when eating. Also, I do not have much time to teach you guys one by one. You guys should learn the habit of self-learning.¡± Fevis complained ¡°Well, it is easier to learn without looking at the screen. Focusing too much on that makes my eyes droop.¡± ¡°Then ask the teacher!¡± Fevis was arguing with toughness ¡°That is the point. The chemistry teacher explains the concept too complicated for us to understand,¡± Pew said. Yusuke nodded, showing he had the same opinion. ¡°Haizz, you guys always find ways to persuade me and I always fall for it. Damn it!¡± Fevis grunted ¡°Come on, we have been friends for two years now, we can classify ourselves as bros,¡± Yusuke said ¡°What Yusuke said is not wrong, brothers should help each other in difficult circumstances,¡± Pew added ¡°Alright¡­Come to my house on Saturday morning.¡± Fevis claimed the loss and decided to help ¡°Thank you! You are my savior!¡± I, Yusuke, and Pew said together. A spacious silence occurred. We were looking at each other like we had found something awkward. Me, Yusuke, and Pew said in melody ¡°Fevis, you started to speak more!¡± ¡°Yeah, I knew, I wanted to be affable. I want to speak more about my opinions.¡± Fevis responded ¡°Just be it, we love this change of yours. Sharing will enable us to understand each other more.¡± Yusuke giggled with his eyes closed. I and Pew had a jubilant facial expression, agreeing with Yusuke. At this point, we completely forgot about the newspaper article. We had the usual chat every day in the school cafeteria. Having a friendship like this makes me melancholy, and I am scared that one day, we will not see each other again. My friends went back to class and I went into the library. Knowing I read books, so they do not say anything. Well, the first we met, I was always in the library, they got used to seeing me going to the library after lunch, whenever I had time, I would go to the library just to read books. Going into the library, as usual, eyes looked at me but I was already used to it. Opening a book named Harry Potter And The Sorcery Stone, I started to read, and I could hear the people talking, having a space in their sentences, making me feel disrupted and disturbing my reading flow, However, I got used to it after two years. Currently, I am vulnerable to my weaknesses. Reading through the fiction, I asked myself about the parallel worlds. Is there any chance to link the universes together? The universe I am living in is a fantasy world, using my assuming head, there must be a universe with no strange things as my verse. I want to live in a world with no battles, I do not want to survive in chaos. The characters in fictional stories must have thought the same if the world was peaceful, creating the world by killing the evil. After reading the book for straight minutes, I picked my head up to look around. ¡°!?¡± I saw dust, with a large amount of it traveling in the air. I could see the dust carrying a charge that looked like an atom. Several of them carry a positive charge and the opposing went for the rest. ¡°What the?... My eyes must have got a disease, I should go to the school¡¯s medical clinic. After telling me that, winked again, and the cloud of dust disappeared. ¡°What is the actual fuck happening to me these days?¡± Seeing nothing unusual again, I ignored what I saw, assuming I was just imagining. The bell rang, I closed my book and went back to the classroom for the next period. This period was a self-learning, me, Yusuke, Fevis, and Pew gathered. I asked Fevis about composite materials, I noted some of the common materials. Yusuke was solving math problems for the test he did not take last week, in the next period, he will go to another class to take the test. Pew was scrolling his phone. After I understood the composite materials and started to solve questions, Pew got our attention by speaking up. ¡°Guys, there are more information updates about Zalek.¡± ¡°Oh, I completely forgot, so what is the news?¡± I raised my head ¡°They discovered a new profound. A gigantic pile of stones mesmerized them. Digging into it, they found a flat stone. It had a symbol of a crystal carved in the middle. The atmosphere inside was packed with energy. They felt contempt that it was their weak mind, but no, with the senses of humans, they recognized the magical power stacking in this environment. Discovering the paranormal, they immediately knew the crystal must have power, it was assumed, teleportation since there were no signs of discovery in this place yet.¡± Pew briefly unpacked. ¡°Now this is ominous,¡± Yusuke interjected while he was solving his last question. ¡°I guarantee this must be some kind of plot relating to monsters taking over the world,¡± I sighed ¡°Kinter, you read so much fiction. Well, it could be since the details are similar to the stories. Also, do not forget that we have not discovered everything on the planet yet. So, it was a new mystery discovered to us. However, it showed no sign of existing, meaning it could already be extinct.¡± Fevis made his point. ¡°Yup, do not worry, it showed no sign of living as what Fevis said. I was wondering about species that could be living there.¡± I spoke. ¡°Oh ya, what kind of species could already have been living there? I think we will know after they have found the fossils.¡± Pew spoke. ¡°It could have forms of dinosaurs. It is most likely dangerous animals. Luckily, it was already extinct or else we would already die. You guys know what I mean.¡± Yes. Me, Yusuke, and Fevis knew what it meant. If it is still staying alive, an incursion must have broken out due to flying figures, or civilization was built there, living and using the privileges of its place. There could be a species that looks like humans. If it had intelligence, I could imagine how powerful it is and humans would have to be extremely difficult to fight against something like that¡­ Have not noticed the others were talking about the the same topic. I heard another group was chit-chatting about it sincerely, showing the news has gotten to many people. Zalek, is a new place with strangeness going on all over, what could it mean about the signs and symbols? What exactly did it know about humanity? The answer will be given by the geologists. The bell rang, mentioning that another period had begun. We went back to our main seat and started listening to the geography teacher. She asked us about the new place that has been discussed these days. She said if people fully analyze Zalek, there could be special resources that are very valuable. If it is what I imagined, the resources should be harder than diamonds and have better traits than normal metals such as better electricity conducting, high-heat capacity, or everlasting energy, which is very overpowered if we have it. To have it, an awakening must have happened because no ordinary logic which already rooted in us may be able to mine the sediments. A superpower given to people is common sense. The class ended. A whole day of learning ended in peace, no one can argue about it as well as I am. I had club time, it was playing soccer. Meeting my teammates again, it was great that today they played amazingly, it was not like the previous days, from the football event, I can tell everyone has been improving their skills. The injured midfielder came up to me, his name is Jin, and he apologized to me for having me penetrate his position. I smiled and said I felt nice to be myself again, I thanked him for letting me fulfill the role, or I would not have had a chance to control, machiavellian, myself. After the hardest exercise the coach gave to my team, a break was given, I went to buy drinks from an automatic machine. Coincidently, Pew and Fevis were walking together in the lobby, they were learning marketing, and it was chosen to be their club time. I think they will become entrepreneurs in the future. Wait, why did I keep thinking about my friends? I guess it was my trait, both positive and negative. Accompanied by the coincidence, too. Pew and Fevis went toward me as I was walking toward them. This was the first time they were fortunate to meet in club time. My club is always later than other clubs, the practice would go straight for hours, it would have been noon and the sky was dark so we would have started to end. The coach also gives us stretching exercises after practice, thus it is impossible to meet my friends. Today, the course was short but very difficult, so my team was granted five minutes to rest. Going to greet¡­ ¡°!?¡± I was trembling, my mind started to spin around deviously. Getting in a state that looked like a seizure. Vomiting, eyes got blurred, glimpses of Pew and Fevis were fading away and asking ¡°What is happening to you, Kinter?¡±. No, I was losing my mind, wanting to rely on something for an explanation of the phenomenon going on inside me. I was clutching, resisting the urge of something inside me trying to take me away from the present, bringing me into an illusion. ¡°How dare you try to resist your nature, huh ?¡± ¡°You, who are you really? What exactly do you want from me? You have been bothering me a lot since that football event. Tell me who are you? Lurking inside my body like that¡­¡± inner conversation between Kinter and the voice. ¡°I am your ¡°instinct¡±, I chose you for my vessel because of your purity and circumstances,¡± the figure interjected ¡°Not only that, you are very strong, capable of being something that I foresaw. Hahaha.¡± ¡°Stop! I am not what you were expecting. Free my soul, now! I am begging you.¡± Kinter prayed to the figure. ¡°Alright, to be easier, let¡¯s get into my dimension first.¡± I heard something like a crystal falling to the ground, pulverizing into pieces. After that, my mind was completely crushed, it can be described as fatal. Falling into never-ending darkness. Gray clouds were very transparent, nearly invisible. Cold and wet were what I was feeling in the atmosphere made up here. ¡°I feel so tired.¡± talked in a lazy tone, looking at the nothingness. After a minute of free-falling, I finally land on the surface of the water, it does not make my clothes soggy, good for me. Impacted by the soft material below the water, I felt sleepy and began to take a nap. Standing over there, the figure was looking, laughing at the scene in front of its eyes. Doing nothing to it, it felt like the figure was empathetic or adoring, similar to a loyal pet watching its boss doing something whatever it is. Snoring and snoring, waken up by the brain told me to do so, my sleepy eyes opened its half, and I tried to rise and looked around. My body was so heavy, the exhaustion must have gotten into the core. ¡°Is it this place taking my energy?¡± I thought miserably. I felt this place was taking my mental energy, it could be the reason why I felt exhausted and not able to stand up. It was a hallucination experience, did not do anything but still felt tired. ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡± asked by the figure ¡°You know what am I thinking?¡± I asked to confirm. ¡°I am inside your body, fusing with you. Therefore what you are thinking will also transfer to be my thoughts.¡± ¡°So inconvenient¡­So everything I thought about you¡­¡± ¡°Hehe, yup, I knew it all.¡± I was surprised and was not. The fictions and mangas, you know what I mean¡­ ¡°Are you awakened ?¡± ¡°What is this place?¡± barely speak a word due to tiredness. ¡°This is my living habitat, I created inside you. Human¡¯s organs look so unpleasant and disgusting. Hahaha. Oh! I have not given you a proper introduction yet. I am the figure who is trying to search for a compatible partner, trying to save those from suffering. I will free you from what you are suffering, mentally and physically. As long as it was not for bad purposes.¡± the figure briefly explained the cause. Understanding its purposes, I felt there was something else, ¡°It is not the only reason, right?¡± based on the experience that everything is not as simple as it seems. ¡°...¡± the figure being silent, does not want to respond. ¡°Say something, is there anything bad that will happen¡­ah.¡± At this rate, my mind was unstable because everything seemed new to me. The cold was braising my body, intense cold, getting deep into the bones, making my body shake continuously. I was able to withstand this, it was because¡­my instinct? ¡°That is right, your ¡°instinct¡± is tremendously great, you can overcome anything that gets in your way. Your tactical mind and immense strength are the reasons why I chose you.¡± ¡°So? All of that is just used for fighting? I supposed.¡± ¡°To save the world.¡± the figure stated. Honestly, the first time I heard the voice, it was very toxic. The comments it gave were not easy to hear except psychopaths. However, the voice, the figure standing in front of me, gave me nice speeches as it wanted me to save something precious. The figure threw me a sword, making me astonished. It was malicious, speeding toward me, and looked like a strong attack. I was very frightened, Ching! The swords impacted frictional, and trailing lights of sparklings appeared. Not only ending there, it gave a combo of attack, constantly and constantly. I was mindless when the attacks landed on me, I parried and countered as it had already been planned before even though I did not. It continued to the point our attacks with swords, were so quicked that a spiral was what you can observe from the third party. ¡°Stop!¡± I grunted, telling the figure but it did not listen as well as my body. ¨C-A realization¡ª Wait, how did the figure create swords? I did not notice how it had happened, I just knew that I was thrown a sword and started to fight recklessly. If it was magic, it could explain the unknown. Or another cool theory I thought of, ¡°It was atomic creation.¡± ¡°Do you notice that you can fight back every attack that I landed on you, Kinter?¡± the figure spoke, bringing me back to reality. ¡°...¡± I did not say anything ¡°If it was someone else, they could not handle themselves. Interesting of you!¡± ¡°Uh-huh,¡± I responded ¡°However, more training should unlock the potential. This is not enough.¡± The figure ended the consecutive meeting. Bisecting me from the upper body, the world started to whitely tear apart. I did not feel pain, I was fascinated by the figure¡¯s ability. Laziness made me not want to bear anything¡­ Waking up, an image of my friends, Pew and Fevis was carrying me to the medical clinic. The medical clinic works until six thirty, meaning it is still open. Seeing that I was waked up and shocked, ¡°Are you ok, Kinter? You were vomiting at the automatic machine,¡± said Pew ¡°Yes, I am ok, do not be worried.¡± pretending to be ok but not. ¡°Whatever it is, we are carrying you to the doctor, to see if you have any health problems.¡± ¡°It was shown that you were thinking too much, you should take it small. If you have big thoughts then you can write it down for later use. Now, I advise you to start resting for tomorrow, ensuring efficiency.¡± the doctor spoke to Kinter ¡°Yes, thank you very much, doctor.¡± Leaving the medical clinic, I started to pack up my stuff. The coach heightened my mental up, joking ¡°Is this my Kinter?¡±, I knew who I really was, it was strange things that occurred to me unwantedly. I, Pew, and Fevis started to go home, our house is near together so we walked the same path. We were talking just as usual, just my friends but my mind was wondering about the incident that had just happened to me. ¡ª----- ¡°Interesting, so this is him, his energy is outrageous, I must take his body for examination.¡± said someone Expressing the face of a devil, he laughed and started to look at the profile¡­He looked at the guest he treated today, Kinter. The lights switched off. A chain of sounds of a metal glinting, the doctor set himself to a destination, started disappearing, and left with a flickering wind blowing due to an extraordinary speed. Interlude 1: Figures inner monologue Thinking back and forth, I am starting to like this brat. I did not know he could score the shot that well. From all the witnesses I have concluded, that everyone did not exceed in their field, generally, their issues when I was spectating them. Through my journey around the world, using my Senrigan, I have gained much information about humans. Humans are a species that likes to seek attention for relief, they can do whatever it takes to attract everyone. The worst that could happen is murdering for a dwelled desire. I was disgusted and irritated by these behaviors. Why do they do this? Is there any reason beyond that? Yes, it may be, The reasons can be classified into types, for fun and targets. The most normal and favorite I like is the one with targets, they have a reason to do something to catch the target¡¯s eyes. Take an example, a girl has a love for a boy, and she has done something that caught the boy¡¯s attention, by roaming around, disturbing him, and talking to him got her a big chunky chance to get his eyes. In my perspective, the actions were a bit childish and committed. However, it is targeted at a specific object or person except murdering for attention as serial killers do, corresponding to the second type of reason. The second type of reason is the reason I do not like and understand its purpose, people seek attention for nothing afterward, meaning they do it for fun and then leave, acting looking familiar and then fading away like a stranger has not ever met before. Why? Hilarious? I do not understand humans at this point.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. Kinter is easily distracted by just speeches, and he always gets the second type of reason of attention-seeking from people. Does he have an aura or something? No, it was just what people are doing nowadays in this world. The world is still spinning as many bad things are lurking in shadows, waiting for a day to prevail in this world. World War Three could happen at any time, with nuclear bombs, the world can get rid of easily, burning all living things. Everyone is the main character in their own story, you do not know what will come next. The future cannot be predicted as well as the accuracy of everything has the measurement factor. Through my adequate judging ability, With my precious gift, the ¡°instinct¡± I believe in him must convey and adapt to this enormous change I will chip in his well-being. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 2: Atomic Manipulation Chapter 2: Atomic Manipulation ¡ªOn the road, full of light pillars are standing, lightening the way for three students that have just left school. Feeling free and budging, everyone was having it consecutively. Days by days pass and the road has been greener and greener, the road is flattened, and the stage beside the road leads down to another big poem ground, having children and their parents joking around, making the scenery seem the right place for joy only, theme. Kites flew in the sky, and the children played soccer noisily there, which Kinter, Fevis, and Pew saw. They felt gifted and grateful for this brilliant road, given to their journey, ¡°way of home¡±. The school is directly opposite their houses, and looking from afar allows them to see the windows of the classrooms, light or darkness is independent for each. When school events happen, you can hear the congestion, the crowd makes itself special, becoming a center of attention in an almost rural area. Heading back to myself¡­ I am thinking about the incident. The figure said it chose me to be the person it needed for a great event, foreshadowing. I forced myself not to think because the doctor said I should think less, but now I did again. I want to litter myself for that, wanting to get rid of the ongoing thoughts grappling in my mind so much. I distracted myself and listened to the environment speaking itself. Voices sneak in my ears simultaneously as soon as I open my head for it to come. Birds chirped, people talked and greeted others, and a handful of sounds disturbed my thoughts efficiently, leaving me a hard time adjusting despite having two long years of training. It reduced the effect when I was in a place full of vibrant procedures. ¡°I still see our houses in front of the school, which is kinda gothic to look at from ours to school at night,¡± Fevis said. ¡°Do you want me to tell a ghost story?¡± Pew glanced and met his profession. ¡°Go ahead, Pew. I will not be scared if you publicly read it to us.¡± I mentioned ¡°Are you sure? I hope to not hear you cannot take it ever from you.¡± Pew sliced back, reasonable and logical of the means. ¡°Can you start it?¡± Fevis impatiently said ¡°Once upon a time, A new merchandise was transferred by an old man, seventy-three years old, still working for his family which was still in poverty. He had a son and a daughter, they both share a similar appearance, slightly different because of the genders¡­¡± ¡°A twin?¡± Fevis exclaimed ¡°Yup, and they were growing up being the same height and interests, playing together in childhood to the point that they understood each other very well. The girl was a top-tier student at her school or probably the best in her town, having an intelligence quotient over one hundred eighty, considered a genius, she won many tournaments for the sake of their parents, gained a lot of money for them, becoming rich and privileged. The boy was a generally normal-looking student, he had no special achievements or a raw talent of something, he was ordinary, not as smart as his sister, but, he understood people and his surroundings, and was able to interact with things and others that well due to him having a high emotional quotient. He could control himself very well, however, he was sensitive, thinking everyone was talking about him, probably true but with a very low chance of it being true. With high emotional statistics, he could manipulate other people, making them do things for his desires. He spent a lot of time observing people, acknowledging more about humans, enabling him to understand ¡°instinct¡±. Not forget to mention, he is considered lucky as well, not all of his manipulations were working sincerity, he always got over seemingly relevant phenomenons getting in the way, it was like rules were made for intruders, stating that this person was a ruler or an empire or something like that. Getting away so much, he continued living¡­¡± ¡°Umm, it looks like you are not telling a scary story, Pew.¡± Fevis stomped it out. ¡°Wait! This crucial introduction will explain the actions and progression later on, Fevis. Be patient,¡± Pew responded. ¡°This seems to touch my interest, the boy¡¯s characteristics are strange. I have never met someone like that in real life.¡± I noted it. ¡°Keep going, Pew.¡± Fevis nodded ¡°The old man rented an accommodation for both individuals. The sister studied at Harvard University, living in a school dorm, despite having a scholarship but it was just for two years, he rented for the other two years for her, buying full features so she would not lack anything. All of the budget went to the sister. The boy lived with the old man, studying at a university not far from their houses. The university¡¯s name is Penn University¡­¡± ¡°He is no ordinary person ¡ªhe is a monster as well! Studying at Penn University is not normal at all.¡± Fevis spoke the truth; I cannot disagree. ¡°Yeah, and so on, the boy went missing. The old was anxious about his son, seeing where the boy could be going. Carrying a heavy bag and merchandise on him, he wondered everywhere he could find his son. One night, he was stepping into a formidable place, full of mist, he was stepping in because this was the last destination he could think of the boy going in. Having a paper with written words by the boy, the old man was in anguish, determined to find his son and punish him because of his bullshits. The old man went deep into the forest, he looked around for any sign that could be his son, the creepy sound and white mist were disturbing him, and his steps created cracking noises. A sudden big howl behind the old man appeared, then, he looked back. A person with dark veiling on his body was standing still, looking at the old man with malice. The dark figure was laughing with a head looking diagonally down, its eyes were completely black, and a bowl haircut. The body was well-balanced, and an ordinary person''s image was shown in it. The old man was horrified, he ran as far as he could from the figure. After running for a while, he relieved himself that he had run far enough. A sound of someone coming, he got goosebumps, hoping it would not be that thing again. He was comforted, it was his son whom he was looking for, sighing, he scolded his son for putting him in a situation like this. Not using any curse words, he met his son, and that made him happier than ever. ¡°Dad I am the starter.¡± said the son ¡°What are you saying, son?¡± the old man asked in perplexity. ¡°The starter of everything, the black figure chose me.¡± the son responded ¡°Son¡­What are you talking about?¡± The figure showed in front of the man, making him scared as¡­¡± ¡°Alright I have heard enough, I do not want to stay up all night again.¡± I stopped Pew from telling the story because I could imagine the figure¡¯s appearance and how the jumpscare would scare the fuck out of me. I want to have a peaceful sleep at night. You could joke at me whatever you want, I do not care. ¡°Haha, you are still scared of ghost stories, Kinter. Whatever, let¡¯s go home already.¡± Pew spoke ¡°The story was very ears-catching today. But it had too many details, especially the boy. He sounded like Kinter anyway.¡± Fevis spoke Yup, it does, the boy in the story shared several traits with me as well. It was Pew who created this, did he want to joke about me?¡­or it was something elegant to fulfill the role of being in the ¡°main character¡± position? I thought¡­again, damn it? How can I debunk this habit of mine? The advice the doctor gave me was thrown in the garbage many times, just like water dropping on a potato¡¯s leaf, ¡°Nuoc do la khoai¡± a Vietnamese idiom. Why did I think of Vietnamese idioms? Oh, I read some Vietnamese novels, I got this and put it in my dictionary. Vietnamese novels are great though, I mean, shit! I did it again. Thinking ¡°Stop!¡± while I was disabling my mind simultaneously. A voice raised, it was Pew. ¡°Guys, do you want to play games tonight? I got this new soul game. It is very excellent.¡± ¡°Yeah, I will hop on¡­¡± ¡°Kinter, do not forget that I am going to your house and we have to start to work on that project. It is due tomorrow.¡± Fevis said and made me feel bored as fuck. ¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah, we need that to be done tonight¡­I will hop on when I am finished if I have much time left. Fevis decided to stay in my home tonight.¡± ¡°That was cool to hear I guess, you have a PS5, you should share it with him so he can play with it.¡± ¡°Yup.¡± ¡°Great! Now I have to go home for extra learning time with my professor.¡± After he had finished his sentence, he started to face the direction which led to his house. His house is far from the two houses beside. Then, I and Fevis went to my house, which is a floor house, and does not contain any stages. The door was two-sided. The house was painted in cyan. The darkness from the afternoon made it darker, and its original hue darkened, losing its freshness. The roof was painted gray, and the outer line got a whiter version of gray, making the house look like an ordinary house. We emerged into the house, and a widening view of darkness ran all over the humongous dimension. Switching the lights on, an enormous room appeared in front of me and Fevis. This is my house, the inside looks more anticipated than the outside, this was what I called ¡°Do not judge the book by its cover.¡± ¡°Your house looks very different from the inside, a person who does not know this place would be astonished when they go in here for the first time,¡± Fevis said ¡°I agree, Fevis¡± I flattered myself. Being silent, I put my backpack in my room, my room took up a little space in the entire area. Meanwhile, Fevis took out an A2 rolling sheet in his bag, spreading out on the empty floor. After everything, I went to the refrigerator and took two bottles of fresh orange juice. The project was about human evolution, we had to use pictures and explain the themes in detail. The description contained human relatives and how humans survived and hunted, pretty much it. I had a printer, convenient for printing pictures. At least, I had the printer or we would have to find a printing place. Inner monologue: Interestingly, humans are the smartest species in all of the species. They used everything from its finest and built up an entire civilization. The whole world is immersed in modern technologies now, however, their nature is not progressing at all¡­ It was not my thoughts, I know. It was the ¡°unknown¡± inside me, thinking all of this. My mind and its synced, therefore, I know what does it think? And this is the first it thought of something. No, from what I have witnessed, it is not that basic. The ¡°unknown¡± must have a superpower to hide its thoughts, meaning I cannot know everything it has thought of. Generally, it is one-sided. ¡°You really love humans topic, huh?¡± ¡°I am acknowledging you, humans. From what I gathered, human nature is just disgusting, far from what I expect of you filthy living things.¡± The first time, I had a chat with the ¡°unknown¡± inside me, it was giving polluted words, and blaspheming about humans. What did humans do to it anyway? I, myself knew it better than anyone else. ¡°I hope you are not one of the villainous characters, they are always the villains or antiheroes¡­¡± But it could cooperate with its vessels if the relationship has been prolonged, opening a greater strength like some manga. Do not worry, I am your partner, and you are me. I chose you, it is you who was created with me. I just gained the consciousness to speak up with you, Your Highness. ¡ª That would be great I thought, I was expecting an answer, but it seems it does not want to say back. Thus, I gave it a ¡°yes¡±, meaning it is harmless and it will help me whenever I have difficulties. Staring at the huge paper, I realized that I could get a high score for this. If we leave this alone and add no more words, it is still considered a high score no matter what. ¡°Hey Kinter, may I have more orange juices? Those taste great.¡± Fevis asked for more orange juices ¡°Sure, let me go take them.¡± Standing up, I stretched my arms and legs after sitting for a straight hour. My muscles and fibers were relieved, and my bones cracked, leaving me jubilant. I sighed and went to the refrigerator, which was at the end of the long hallway of my house. Stepping¡­stepping¡­and stepping¡­and stepping¡­. Stepping¡­stepping¡­and stepping¡­and stepping¡­. Stepping¡­stepping¡­and stepping¡­and stepping¡­. Stepping¡­stepping¡­and stepping¡­and stepping¡­. Stepping¡­stepping¡­and stepping¡­and stepping¡­. Stepping¡­stepping¡­and stepping¡­and stepping¡­. Step, step, and step¡­I heard the sound of my steps in bare feet, clear and loud. My hearing sense was always spectacularly amazing. The sound of the concrete floor kept playing in my head, and I felt like I had narcolepsy. Tired, I walked endlessly without reaching my destination. Then I realized¡­I was caught in a loop. ¡°Fevis!¡± I quickly went to tell him about the paranormal ¡°What is up, Kinter?¡± Fevis responded, getting up from his seat, and went to stand behind me. ¡°So, this is a real loop¡­¡± I was constantly walking, and I should have stayed far away from my original spot. Fevis¡¯s speeches were clear and close, making me suspicious. He stood behind me for a minimum of time, just confirming the fact.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°What in the real world is happening?...¡± Fevis asked in perplexity ¡°I cannot go to the kitchen room because I was in a lo¡­¡± ¡°Bullshit! This cannot be real, I will go to prove you wrong and you were just playing around I swear.¡± Not believing in me, he was going for the approval. From walking and walking to running and running, his feet were tirelessly walked because of willpower. Sweat fell from his head to his neck, his eyes were keen and sharp like eagle¡¯s eyes. He was bewildered, untrusted to the circumstance that got them like this. He turned back to me. His facial expression told me that he had given up. He admitted to the conference. ¡°What is going on?¡± Fevis asked tremendously ¡°What is going on?¡±; I wanted to know what was happening, too, not only you, Fevis. I was assured that a complicated inference was just about to happen; A superpower and mythology were what I was thinking of, it mentioned that I am¡­witnessing the unapproachable mysteries. The world is full of mysteries, I am in your body, also, considered a discovery. Many voyages were set off to explore the beyond. It was always meant to be like that¡­ It was thinking and leaking, wanting me to say something to it. But, I ignored it and stayed silent because of the upcoming face-to-face. Cling! A katana was thrown to the ground, mesmerizing us. It has a beautiful color, the sharp blade is painted purple, shiny, and smooth. You can see your reflection from the katana¡¯s blade, also, it gives a feeling of vigorous. Someone powerful owning this katana was attacking us. I felt like the guy must be a strong character nonetheless¡­ ¡°What is up, fellas?¡± A man covering his face with a hood said. ¡°Who are you?¡± was my response, asking for information from stronger players, also, it is my habit, a good habit of making friends and improving playmaking in soccer. I did not care, even though, I knew he was a man out of this world¡¯s common sense, a fantasy. ¡°You do not need to know who I am, because¡­¡± ¡°Finish your last sentence, you intruder.¡± ¡°Affable responding as always, huh? You are going to live another life anyway.¡± ¡°What?!¡± I asked in anger because of getting mocked by the hood man. ¡°I will kill you, Kinter.¡± the man in the hood spoke calmly about his intention. ¡°...¡± This was the first time I got threatened to be killed by a stranger in real life. It was scary as hell, you would be the same though if you got told like that. The Ordinary would be shitting themselves. Falling to the ground, kneeling on his feet, looking good. He held the katana, then, he raised his head to look at us. I saw a slight dim on his face, it was very familiar, feeling I had met this man before. Posing a posture, his appearance was like an archer, looking like he was going to shoot an arrow at us, alternatively, he was holding the katana for the arching hand. The left hand was pointing toward us, going for a thrust. He impaled his eyes on our humanly weak spot. It was our chest. ¡°I would love to see how your body reacted to the enormous magical energy the stone was given to you.¡± ¡°What¡­a stone¡­magical energy? What are you talking about?¡± Fevis, who was staying silent continuously, utterly spoke. ¡°You do not need to know, normie. I will finish you right after I take my prey down.¡± ¡°Huh? Prey? So, what you were saying to Kinter that you are going to kill him¡­You must be a thief!¡± Showing Fevis was just naive and did not read fantasies and light novels from Japanese. His mind was just as logical as a normal human being''s, which meant he was still thinking like many normal people. Everything was happening due to a thing I called ¡°mystery¡± or¡­you already knew what I meant. No other words were said, the stranger, already said his target, and escalated at an incredible speed, maliciously without mercy, against me. The thrust of a blade, sharper than anything, was aiming at my heart. Whoosh I dodged the attack in an instant, I was grinning and asking how I survived the attack. Fevis behind me was confused, his face was freezing, very funny. However, the situation was serious, there was no time to laugh. There must be something to balance, to balance, it must be! Or the fairness of a fantasy would be corrupted¡­ ¡°I still do not figure out what were you thinking, Kinter. It looked like you are just addicted to light novels and fantasies stuff,¡± speaking the truth, I had no opposing opinions to the speech. Ah! This must be it. The figure inside me! Yeah, it must be the missing puzzle! ¡°Do not think, be relaxed as much as possible.¡± ¡°Are you trying to save me? Do you think the option you suggested to me will¡­¡± ¡°Just do the damn thing! You will not die.¡± ¡°...¡± Getting scolded, I did the work. I was doing what the figure inside me said. Being nonchalant, I was dodging many attacks from the killer. He was fascinated. ¡°Oh, so you are chosen by the figure, huh? I wondered if it picked the right empire.¡± ¡°Empire?¡± muttered, I found a new keyword¡­ ¡°Do not listen to him, he was trying to catch you off guard by making you unable to think. He knew my strategy, intelligent of him. Interesting! You damn humans.¡± ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Kinter, what are you¡­¡± ¡°Haha, this must be you, you figure.¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°Great! Show me what you got, I want to know more about you, a discovery, and a potential threat to humans. I must convey the rumor for these days about Zalek.¡± Fevis''s point of view and mind What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? I do not know what is happening right now, I have lost my logical senses. What is this? This cannot be happening, fantasy? Paranormal? Or a mixture of both. Am I dreaming or something? The world must be normal¡­No, No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no, no! Am I freezing? yes! Am I confusing? Yes! Will I possibly arrange my mindset? Probably not. Superpower and abilities are human¡¯s rich imagination. They are only for entertainment and looks, and would not happen in any way. Simulation theory¡­This could explain but did not provide these unbalanced phenomena I guess. Kinter is fighting against a person who wants to take Kinter¡¯s life and mine. A fighter? His movements were an embodiment of a warrior, probably a yes. Kinter is dodging his attacks, meaning Kinter possessed it, too? While I have none, telling me this is nonsense. It is like reading an invisible text. happening right there but do not give a fuck! This represents it. I am witnessing a fight, a fight from any fictional action book that could build up details like this¡­ Thus, my role is to be a witness. Sitting in the corner like an innocent who was saved by a superhuman watching the fight of a savior or a vigilante, ahh! What the heck? I am thinking¡­what? In other words, my role is just sitting there and doing nothing¡­ ____ ¡°Countless attacks are vulnerable to you I guess. I must have underestimated you,¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°I will kill you with this last attack.¡± A direct horizontal strike landed on Kinter, Kinter (Figure¡¯s possession) flexibly dodged his attack by arching its back nearly at a right angle. ¡°I got you!¡± Giving a straight thrust to the vessel, leaving it no time to recover. Ching! ¡°Huh? How did you recover and parry? When did you even create a sword?¡± Asked by the man in the hood, in a state of confusion. The figure got up having a sword in its hand like it was supposed to be there in the first place. It was parrying the direct thrust from the man, The very thin blade edge made an extraordinary impact with the sharp point of the man¡¯s blade, a very very sweet contact. It would fascinate any fighters with swordsmanship, asking how it was done. The man in the hood was thinking in a flash, analyzing how it was done. He was trying to understand the figure¡¯s ability because he had never met any ability that could create a blade in an instant without any magical effect. He was thinking of a legendary ability, which is impossible to have. He was trying to acquire it in his life, and the discovery was deeply disappointing, it could not be found nor ancestry be found. Until a place named Zalek appeared on the television, he sensed this must be where he had to depart. He was the first one to step on Zalek, to be honest. He was the first person to find the enormous pile of stones covered upon each other. He displaced himself inside, but, the thing he wanted was not in its position. ¡°It was gone?¡±. Quickly analyzing, he claimed it must have its mind and intelligence. It had to be somewhere in this world, claiming the artifact must have an ability called teleportation, He knew he must be patient. He gave himself more time to travel around, he also found a statue that quickly changes to look like the person¡¯s appearance. He read those symbols and those words written on the small board. A conclusion was given in his mind. The artifact must have the legendary ability! He noted it and named the ancestry ability. It was¡­ ¡°Atomic manipulation!¡± Atomic manipulation allows the user to manipulate atoms and create something from the particles. It can be used to create different elements from the periodic table, which can then be used to create natural, real-life items. Atomic manipulation also has other curing abilities, such as removing dead cells and renewing them, making the owner never get old. I felt vibrations before his parry, so he was gathering the atoms to create a sword. Atoms are the basic units of life; they are so small that you cannot see them. This is the explanation. I want that ability! ¡°Ughh..¡± With a direct kick to the skull, the man was flying quickly, making an immense impact with a wall. A big sound of cracks from the wall fell into the man, white dust covered him in white. He was lying there as it was his entire life to find the legendary ability that was owned by a dark figure. However, he felt desperate because he felt excited and saw the difference in strength. He laughed and laughed; thought about his wife. A beautiful image of a young lady popped up in the man¡¯s mind. She was adorable, gorgeous, and had a beautiful smile. As always, he would travel anywhere with her, her vibe and energy made the atmosphere exquisite, fun, and enjoyable. He cannot live without her, his life is generally garbaged-like, and he gets bullied and called weird because of his personality. He loves to swing his sword over and over again, in school, he would bring a wooden sword, and in break time, he would take out his sword to swing constantly. At first, he was supported by those around him, they would join him in practice, and they thought it was cool to be a man who could hold a sword. But as time goes on, the boy gradually gets better, his peers cannot challenge him in a solo competition. Then, he would have a solo duo competition, a solo tertiary competition, and¡­ ¡°Stop! you are a monster, I knew it in the first place. Can¡¯t you have any other normal hobbies just like us?¡± ¡°Leave him be. I do not want to play with him anymore, I would get hurt every day because of this.¡± ¡°Guys, let¡¯s not participate in his activity anymore, we should go play soccer and leave him alone.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Sounds great..¡± He was not getting supported anymore, he became socially awkward because of not having friends. He only has a sword in his hand, swinging and swinging, recklessly. He thought he had submerged himself into a dark background of being ignored¡­ The cute girl appeared up, she started to spend time with the boy. Realizing the outcome, he thought she would leave at the end like his old friends. On the opposite, the boy was astonished and happy with the girl¡¯s engagement. ¡°What did she find something interesting in me? Why did she enjoy this activity so much?¡± Constant thoughts got him nowhere, he realized. He had to find the girl¡¯s intention. ¡°Why did you want to play with me? I am bizarre I knew it.¡± ¡°No, I do not think you are. I have been stalking you since you got into this school. Everyone talks about how weird it is to bring a sword and swing, saying that it is dangerous and what are you training for. But, I saw a deep passion for the things you love. I just want to be friends with you.¡± ¡°No, you would be left out by your friends, I understand this clearly because I have already¡­¡± ¡°I will endure all¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I will be your friend recklessly, I will be your friend so you will not hate yourself anymore. I will bring you out of the fog, bringing you everywhere such as malls, movie theaters, and more. I want you to live as a high school student to its finest.¡± ¡°Why? Why are you so sticking into this?¡± ¡°Because¡­I am compassionate for people like you.¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°Everybody has their weirdo side and bright side. If this hobby is your bright side then just be it. A true friend will never leave the person because of their flaws, they will stay there to help you overcome them. My friends are like that, they are not going to unfriend someone just because they have not found who you are.¡± ¡°So?¡± ¡°Come with me.¡± He gave his hand to her, confirming he had fallen for her. After a long time, they became lovers. They graduated from high school successfully. The boy became a doctor, working in a medical clinic at school, secretly an assassin with impeccable swordsmanship. The girl became an accountant, working in a bank. They progressed to marry each other, having a daughter and a son. It all sounds very jubilant and flawless of a happy ending. That fateful night, the house was attacked by dark figures. The girl cannot do anything to bear the supernatural occurrence due to her being a human with a normal human being¡¯s logic. She was forcefully killed when the husband went home simultaneously. He was shocked, he used all his might to execute the figures. He got rolled over, the impact made him coughed in blood. He realized his strength was weak against them. However, they did not kill the man, instead, they laughed at the man and disappeared. ¡°You filthy bitches! Kill me already!¡± He said and reached out to his wife¡¯s corpse. Cold and slippery, his wife was slaughtered as well as his son and daughter. The corpses lay behind the wrecking table. A traumatic scene was what he called it, their eyes were opened as well as their mouth, and their necks got cut deep into their throat. Blood stains around them, making it more like a homicide. He swore he would get revenge. He found everything he could about the dark figures, their original and species. He was seeking an enormous strength that could easily budge them. He found it, he finally found it, It can also bring dead people to life. What a festival it is! But at what cost? This character in front of him is one of the advanced species. Unfortunately, it is a highly ranked figure, which means its strength is massive, greater than his. ¡°You piece of shit¡­¡± The figure disguised in Kinter was approaching him, the left eye opened and the other closed. The left eye was showing positive and negative charges in the iris, representing electrons and protons of an atom, and had a hue of yellow color. Glowing beautifully, the eye was absorbing atoms, and felt it because of the vibrations. ¡°ahh..I cannot lose to you, I must seek revenge!¡± A strong wind was blowing around the man, his hood was floating in every direction, showing the face of a middle-aged man with black hair. he was¡­the doctor in that medical clinic. Shaking the dimension continuously, a green effect represents the wind, flowing into the man, meaning the man was gathering his power from the environment. ¡°Hehe, I also created a small copy of the entire atomic manipulation ability. I will use this to beat you!¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°Stay silent as long as you can.¡± After getting all of the possible energy from the environment, he started to read his ceremonial words, and a magic circle appeared below him. ¡°Dear god, the one I believe in. praying for an execution to erase my pathetic side. A pleasure to claim such a miracle¡­¡± ¡°Eclipse forbidden form: Half circle with void.¡± The man after the transformation has a half circle covering the left side of his face, edging out from the top was an arching blade. He wore a red-yellow armor, embroidered with mythical words. He has two swords, one is tiny while the other is gigantic, just like the sun and moon. The sun is taking the lead since it is bigger than the moon. The man¡¯s power is based on the moon, the weaker, is also, considered agile and quick-witted. ¡°My power is praying. I will pray to god, so he will lend me strength to defeat you.¡± Ending his speech, he jumped with spectacular force; the ground pierced with broken lines. He was striving toward the man he must defeat to gain his valuable power¡ªthe atomic manipulation ability. I should call someone for help, should I open the door to attract attention? No, the fight caused a lot of noisy sounds. The neighbors must have heard it and¡­should have said it out. But the continuous events occurred without anyone¡¯s knowing, which meant I and these people were trapped in another dimension! Boom! ¡°...?¡± ¡°Kinter¡± was flying at a supersonic speed to the two-sided door, he quickly gained his momentum, and then, he branched his sword onto the ground, an object to get him standing up. The floor slid hard, it created smoke. Feeling hot under its bare feet, it started to speak the first few words. ¡°Such ordinary¡­I was disappointed.¡± ¡°Shut up! You are not in a position to speak up to me right now. You are weaker than me, you will be counted as an honored figure that I was the first to defeat. I will acquire your fundamentals.¡± ¡°No, you are just a mere human like a stepping stone. You are not pure, your nature was not cleansed because of your hatred and the will to kill people without considering the reck!¡± ¡°Huh? So this is what you were seeking for? It sounded strange, very strange¡­¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°I love it! Someone finally matched my level of existence! This meant easier to handle, you would have the same mindset as me. Such fortunate!¡± ¡°What are you bitching around? Do not take me into your account with your mindless theories!¡± A wonderful amount of vibrations caused the area to shake up and down in exaggeration. There were no color effects, no magical figures, just logical phenomena, based on nature! ¡°To make this matching square and fair, I will create some clones to pair with your current strength,¡± Vibrations started again, and the organs and body parts started crafting in the air out of nowhere. It was built up until its accomplishment. The process was instant, twenty clones were invented. ¡°Interesting! It''s such an amazing ability. I would love to test myself out.¡± Each clone held two katanas, they started to gather around the man. ¡°Come! Or all of you should go at once.¡± The clones did not come at once, because, ¡°Kinter¡± was feeling sorry for the man. Each came up and got brutally slashed, however, one of them left an incision on the man¡¯s abdomen. ¡°...? This is nothing! Do not fucking underestimate me! Come all at once and I will finish all of you in one blow.¡± The man got in the spider web trap. He had to fight against each clone with a seventy percent power division of the original. The original must have been lurking in the thirteen-left, the man realized this and he decided to pull out an all-area technique that washes the area around him, he did it recklessly. ¡°Aura¡¯s second technique: Burst of radiation¡­¡± Before he could unleash his technique, he saw ¡°Kinter¡± standing in the middle because the clones had stood on two sides, letting him do a surprise. ¡°Kinter¡± kicked the blade going straight to the face of the man, the man dodged in revelation. As soon as he dodged, he felt the vibrations. ¡°What are you pulling¡­!¡± He felt a presence pressuring behind him, out of the blue. He immediately tried to turn back as fast as possible while his mind guaranteed something. ¡°Teleportation technique!...Damn it¡­¡± Too late, it was too late, the man could not parry or dodge in time. He insisted on a huge deadly horizontal cut, two swords combining, which made him fatal. His body fell to the ground along with his upper body; guts came out and flew due to gravitational force and other forces, causing them to fly undetermined. ¡°Just a stepping stone, you were doing a great job fulfilling the role. Compared to ¡°Oblivion¡±, you are just a piece of sand under the sea.¡± ¡°...uh¡­uh.¡± The man barely said a word, he was utterly saying something but it was unclear and hard to hear. The figure observed the man having a great desire to live. Thus, it started to claim the reward and decided to help the man out if it was available to the figure; where are its brothers? It was in its mind because it wanted to clean til¡¯ the root, it was its purpose in the first place. The figure started to absorb the particles of the unliving corpse in front of it. ¡°I¡¯ll use you well.¡± The man had completely vanished, leaving no sign of him being there at all. The figure transferred its sight aiming at Fevis who was silent the whole time, scared and unbelieved. ¡°Lucky for you, if I lose, you would be done, too.¡± Fevis did not say anything, he was agreeing to what it said. It was true that if it did not beat the man in the hood, he would not survive til¡¯. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I woke up from an eternal-like dream, it was very unfathomable to me. I took a look around the dimensions, of my house. I felt reminiscent, something had happened here but I could not remember what was it. In front of me, Fevis was sleeping on the other side of the paper; then he woke up and said. ¡°Did we just sleep? Oh! the project! We have to finish it by tomorrow or we will get a zero. Kinter! Why were we sleeping? We must have been doing homework since!¡± ¡°I¡­I do not know what happened Fevis, something¡¯s very dream-core in my mind. I felt like I was fighting against someone.¡± ¡°Fighting someone? That sounded strange. I felt like I also was¡­¡± ¡°Feel like what?¡± ¡°Nothing, I was just yapping.¡± ¡°Anyway, I will go take some orange juices.¡± ¡°Great!¡± I was staggering, my body felt exhausted somehow but my mind was working. In the end, I could not figure out what those faulty events were in my mind like an F1 race; it looked like I was the one doing all of them. ¡°Or¡­it was you?¡± Knowing something, I Knew what to do next. I heard a beeping noise from one of the cars outside of my house simultaneously. Leaving behind the thoughts and quests, I went to take the orange juices. ¡°It looked like I had walked this path over and over again. Why am I feeling that way?¡± Unknown like a brainwashing had happened. Chapter 3: Oblivion, non-logical World: Hell and Heaven Chapter 3: Oblivion, non-logical world: Hell and Heaven Running and running¡­Running and running¡­Running and running¡­ My footsteps are the main identity in this long hall; darkness and never-ending are what this tunnel consists of. I ran until I found something relevant to what I was searching for. The dim light of an enormous door with the smoke inside leaking out was opened, it was supposedly to greet someone it had found valuable and ethical. ¡°I want to get to know you, my comrade.¡± I ran forward to the white door that looked like a portal, similar to the entrance to a boss fight in Soul Games. I exclaimed, "This must be where the figure is prohibiting!". I reached this place through meditation, which trained my spiritual sense so that I could speak to and dive deeper into myself. It also strengthened my mind; I once experienced its place, high mental energy absorption. In addition, I did not only train my mind, I also trained another thing¡­ The portal sounded wistful as I entered. A figure covered in black but its appearance was¡­similar to me? Last time, I did not have a chance to see how it looked because I could not open my eyes. The figure showed an amazed face, it started to speak, ¡°So, you figured it out?¡± ¡°Yes¡­I want to know what you are trying to do, this whole mess gave me unusual feelings. And, this is out of the government¡¯s knowledge. But¡­¡± ¡°But¡­?¡± ¡°I feel interested, I want to be a vigilante. From what I witnessed until¡¯ this day, I want to immerse myself in these dangerous situations because my life has been boring since the day I was born.¡± ¡°You already had it, KInter. I chose you to be my acquaintance, and it was shown that I was right.¡± ¡°Do you hate humans that much? You said you want to clean and remove those who are not pure and good. Are you trying to create a world with only cleansed people? I felt this was a tremendous issue, erasing criminals and imposters like that is very cruel¡­I think¡­¡± ¡°Yup, if you save humanity, will they obey you as you hope so? Will they admire you, or, the other way inside?¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°You cannot change all mankind. Humans are a cunning species, you will not know everything until you can see the truths.¡± I cannot agree more, this is what I was always thinking about. Bad people are everywhere; real good people are just ditching on a small ground in society. For example, when you got helped by someone, did they mean to do it? Or could it be a type of copycat they learned to do? Never mind. This place is surely taking a hella amount of my spiritual energy. I started to get a bit kicked, but it was just an ant bite, after all. Holding a katana tightly, I did not know why¡­I was holding it like it was my sake. ¡°Wanna fight? I need to get an update on your current strength. Holding a katana, huh? Do not say that you¡­?¡± ¡°Yup, I learned the atomic manipulation.¡± I finished the figure¡¯s sentence off. ¡°It must have been the fusing occurrence¡­fortunate enough, I intended to give it to you after this conversation but you already exceeded my plans.¡± The training was flimsy, I took a week to understand how the ability worked, and I only produced some useless things to get it. After figuring all of it out, a week passed. I bet myself to meet the figure, which I do to see my potential, the ¡°instinct¡± of myself, my ancestors. ¡°Only a week, huh? Interesting¡­let¡¯s see what you got!¡± As usual, it read my mind, and then the vibrations began. I could see the particles, the atoms, small as dust; they carried charges, positive and negative. They were visible, probably because I have an atomic left eye, too. Specks of dust began to form around its hand, and the shape of a katana was shown. Elements such as iron and cellulose are gathered, woods are made of cellulose and iron is its blade, it is all I know, I am not an expert in chemistry, what a shame. In an instant, the figure already had its sword, ready to fight. ¡°Do not hold back, if so, I will not be able to know¡­¡± ¡°I knew, I knew.¡± ¡°This is our first time fighting each other right? Make this as memorable as possible.¡± ¡°Negative.¡± As the two remaining people in the cold and watery dimension ended the small chat. They gave a malicious look to each other, meaning¡­they would not hold back in this examination, Two swords clashed, spreading a loud noise over the area; water started to splash in the handful of each impact. I and the figure fought with intensity, each gave a powerful strike that could lead to fatal if not serious. Additionally, Small sparkling lights from parries looked like a blacksmith gearing his or her precious sword, making it a fight straight out of animated movies. ¡°Great strength, great speed, great endurance, great stamina, and great mind. All are over average. Magnificent!¡± The figure created a binary of attacks and kicks, a pseudo-combo. I could not know when it uses kicks or when it attacks, in return, I will dodge and attack, dodge and attack. If the strikes are too dangerous, I would retreat and create another weapon for range, a Kusarigama or a bow. After a while of dueling, I started to feel heavy in every attack I landed on the figure. My mind must have been sucked out, very outdated. However, my attacks were stubborn and brave, saying I would not give up on tiny issues. The figure noticed that my senses were getting dumped, it took the advantage. Teleportation was launched, and vibrations started beating up the water. The figure faded away, transforming into absolute atoms. I could not hear or spot it coming¡ªa higher level of hiding that executes sound! ¡°No way,¡± Not hesitating, it appeared behind me¡­bringing the sword up high, and it slashed down the corridor. A long path strike caused an earthquake¡­ ¡°I got you, apprentice.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Quickly parrying the attack, I stayed in the position with the figure. ¡°What you tried to do? I cannot understand¡­¡± ¡°This is what I was hoping for.¡± A glacier from the void flew at light speed toward the figure. I prepared it before the match because I was going here for a fight to know my current strength. What I did not expect was that it asked me for a duel beforehand. When I entered the portal, I created a glacier from a far distance. The figure could not feel it because I was consuming particles of the area when standing in front of it. The figure thought I was the main merchandise; good products are getting all the attention, a natural psychological fact. ¡°I did not only train my mind.¡± ¡°I got it. I got it. That is how you escape from me reading your mind, damn it!¡± Also, I did not think in my head about the plans. They came naturally from my muscle memory, which meant reflexes. That is why the figure could only read a part of what I thought but not the entire of it, creating a circumstance that puts me in the winning stance. But, the difference in strength was obvious¡­ ¡°You nearly got it, I admitted.¡± A shield was instantly made, and vibrations quickly shattered the sound barrier. Does this mean that the figure was frustrated? Its speed was supersonic, this is the first difference I saw. The glacier I prepared was pulverized into pieces. ¡°It was not my atomic manipulation.¡± I shot up, it was not atomic manipulation? ¡°....Magic?¡± ¡°It was indeed. This was the combination of magic and my talent, you must convey this level first to stand against me next time.¡± Because the speed of light made objects bring a lot of devious power; it could annihilate the Earth if an object such as a needle was chosen to. The magic enhanced the shield, but, I could not see how it was coated. It must be the invisible magical energy from the figure¡ª particle energy!This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°In this world, we have the ¡°antithesis¡±. Everything will have its opposite sides or multi-sides that are varied from each other, there must be. Take a look at the term ¡°logic¡±, logic is the basis for making up everything, and create ¡°sense¡±, it tells how this works or that works. While the antithesis of logic is imagination, apart from science and reality, it was made up of human visualization. Therefore, magic and others from imagination and visualization are made up from here, the ¡°Oblivion¡±...¡± ¡°So what you mean is¡­¡± ¡°That is right, this place is the dream-core but magic is the only thing that can be brought out and used. Particle energies are magic-relevant, it has color effects when unleashed, and it based on the user¡¯s characteristics, also, positive and negative charges are shown throughout the launch.¡± At that rate, I gained more information about the habitant of the creature staying inside my body; it is an imagined world with its unique philosophy and systems, it has a government and everything else, but, it was antithesis. Additionally, I want to know more about the systems and the mysteries lying beyond this ¡°not logic¡± world made of imagination. ¡°Also¡­¡± ¡°Yea?¡± ¡°After I know how humans work, I will live as a human but inside is a different species. However, humans are still dangerous, I need to clean and eliminate all the potential threats and upcoming apocalypses.¡± I thought the creature had something to say, but then it paused, ending the dialogue. Although the figure''s dreams and desires were interesting, something within me was irritating. ¡°Enough talking. Staying in this place so long will drain up all of your mental and spiritual energy.¡± ¡°Yup, it is time to get back to my realm. Thank you for determining my strength. I will meet you next time.¡± A white portal briefly opened in front of me, and then, the figure was backed up, looking at me with drooping eyes. It seemed cool and nonchalant. I stepped into the portal, a mixtape of sounds like souls traveling in movies and games, you can visualize what it is. I caught a glimpse of the figure looking at me with crossed arms, its left eye opened while the other closed. Stop looking at it, I stepped in completely, A gigantic lightning shined brightly, it made my eyes flash for a second. I popped into my room and rose from my bed; it was a lucid dream. The mystery was not yet fully discovered, and the feeling that I had felt a moment ago bore me. Thus, I thought it was¡­ The right eye. The secret I have not unveiled. ¡ª----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke up from my lucid dream through meditation. The room was nice and cozy because it was evening. I started to feel tired, but I needed to get something to eat. I picked up my phone and I found a piece of news that was straight out of fiction books. ¡°Monsters got found in Zalek, a pile of corpses were found dead. Scientists are examining the species¡­¡± I was astonished and wanted to know if they were alive. ¡°Monster¡± is just the name of a different species, it could be the other way around, maybe? It could potentially harm humans or ordinary figures to humans, despite whatever the reasons, humans would do something to greet and adapt simultaneously. Then, the room shook crazily, and objects fell, even my expensive computer. I did not know what was happening to me. It seemed that mysteries were showing themselves randomly and consecutively, and they wanted to attract a lot of attention to my eyes, just like the delusional thoughts that I had concluded. ¡°Why me?¡± After asking myself that question, no miracles were there to explain to me. I looked down at my bed and I saw a big circle surrounding it. I fell into the big circular hole. Falling for a while, I started to feel hot, but, it did not make me sweat, I started to recognize where am I falling but it completely different from what it was always telling of. ¡°A hell? But it is not a hell¡­What is this place?¡± Falling deeper and deeper, I saw a magma river, flowing constantly. I thought I could not evade that, so, I used my left eye: atomic manipulation! I was absorbing the magma, and its elements were shown from the particles: Potassium, phosphorous, silicon, and others. Transferring to my left eye like slurping, I felt very excited, and I did not know why. It could be that I improved my manipulation a little better. In an instant, the whole river was absorbed completely into my eye. I landed on the surface with a soft impact, then something came up to me. It was¡­a person. ¡°Outstanding of you, your ability is very awesome, hah¡­if I had your ability, I would¡­no, it would not turn out great.¡± ¡°Who are you? And what is this place? Are you living here?¡± ¡°Yes, I am living here as a free man, I have no boss to serve, I have no organization to participate. Overall, I am just a mere free man. And, this place is hell, but it is different from the hell you were told about; the temperature is cold and freezy. This realm branched from the imaginary world, ¡°oblivion¡±, it is based on the world of human philosophy, hell, and heaven. The imaginary world, which is a non-logical world, would have the same thing but different systems and ways of everything.¡± ¡°I want to know the reason why the circle appeared in my room and now I am standing in another realm without knowing what happened.¡± ¡°...Actually, I summoned you.¡± ¡°You summoned me for what?¡± ¡°For a crucial reason, there is a monstrous creature wandering in this realm, and it wants to massacre the creatures like us. You have to help me!¡± ¡°But what do you know about me? How can you be sure that I will able to beat it?¡± ¡°You were chosen by that stone, right? The first one to get picked by the high-ranked species in Zalek. It must have found something in you to save you.¡± So, it was the thing inside me. I did not know it is a high-ranked species and those creatures want to save humanity from pollution. They want to live with humans without conflicts and discrimination. ¡°I do not understand, the reason is so dubious and confusing to me. I have not yet fully understood about the ¡°instinct¡± it lectured me.¡± ¡°So, you already heard it. Do not worry, all you need is to enjoy the power you have now. This is my request, I need you to slaughter that figure, and the prize is a legendary bracelet.¡± Great! It was the first time that I became a bounty hunter, the excitement and joy brought me to think of different ways of using my atomic ability that I have not pulled yet to defeat the creature and back up for myself. But first, I need to do this¡­ ¡°Can you tell me what the bracelet was capable of?¡± ¡°It will make you use less energy for atomic manipulation ability.¡± ¡°Good, but why did not you fight it?¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°Give me a fight.¡± I maliciously threw a high-speed sword I created from atomic manipulation to the ¡°human¡± standing in front of me. The speed increased, so it must be from the last dialogue between me and the figure. The man immediately dodged, his reflex was ok. But, he flicked his middle finger and thumb together creating a sound to activate something. Whatever he pulled, I was assured he would not kill me because the summon would be nonsense. Creating another sword, I jumped toward him with extraordinary speed. I slashed down and horizontally continuously. ¡°Wow!¡± The man dodged all of my attacks but he did not attack and counter back. I asked myself if he was underestimating me, but the next circumstance told me the reason why he did not fight back. I froze the man¡¯s legs, he could not move. I gave a horizontal strike to see if what he did was relevant to the moment I was executing him. It turned out I was right. ¡°I cannot cut you, why did I stop my sword all of a sudden.¡± ¡°Let me tell you this, I am already not a fighter. It was my ability that stopped you from going to kill me.¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°My ability has taken your definition of killing and it also took your fighting spirit.¡± So that is why I cannot land a single hit on him. I knew the fact that his speed was not fast, thus I slowed down because my spirit and the definition of killing were taken. ¡°Your power is brilliant. As promised, I will take on this quest. Tell me what is it that I am going to fight?¡± ¡°It is a non-existent dragon. Its body is a mere human but the head is a dragon. I cannot stop it because it is vulnerable to the spirit taken, only pure strength will be the solution to fight it. Its power is tremendously great, it can slash through a whole mountain, which is very insane!¡± After hearing that, I was getting a little bit anxious. But I quickly squashed away the literal feeling that always stops me from being successful. ¡°This creature is no match to the strength of the figure.¡±, I concluded this because I already had a full match with the figure t so why would I be scared of a lower obstacle? ¡°Good. I give you its location.¡± The location of the dragon was transferred to me. I started to vanish to the destination. When I appeared, a scene of destruction was welcoming me; afar, a standing person with a dragon head was firing fire from its mouth. Noticing me, it looked back. I caught its malicious aura, very notched and exaggerated. It took its katana from the back, getting in a ready pose. I started to create something to fight it. However¡­ The monster played dirty, I was creating this weapon to test it but it did not let me finish. It blew fire at me so I instantly absorbed the particles and transferred them to the weapon to craft faster. I finished; it was a kusarigama, a long-range weapon from the Japanese. Not getting a moment of looking, the monster was holding its sword upward going to slash me into half. ¡°Calm down, buddy.¡± I vanished. Appearing far away from my position but still in front of it, I threw the tail that had a ball with spikes toward the face of the creature. It dodged and held the chains; it pulled the string backward thus I was flying toward it. Holding the sword in the pose that is going to slash horizontally, it gave a powerful radiation strike toward me. Because I could not absorb something magical and radiation, I left the weapon and created another one that I could create faster, it was a katana. I jumped at the monster with the sharp point of the blade heading to its head. It cramped the edge right away with its spiky teeth. ¡°Wow!?¡± I stunned The creature held my neck tightly and threw me down to the surface. The impact made me a little bit shocked. However, however,... ¡­ ¡­ It was what I was looking for! This position, this exact timing. Everything was according to my plan! ¡°Just kidding.¡± An invisible object stabbed into the monster¡¯s head, making it confused and suffering in pain. I rose and briefly explained, ¡°I used shadow matter to create invisible objects. Dark matter is not yet fully understood, but it had the property of dark and it meant invisibility.¡± Only those who have the eyes of atomic could see it swiftly. I gathered the particles around my right arm, it was pure dark, like nothing. The figure completely falls for it since the dark matter cannot be felt. ¡°I did not think something not fully discovered or remaining a mystery would work on mysterious figures like you. What I concluded is that this was the rule of life. The ¡°not expect¡± will exceed the outcome or change the situation completely. ¡°Gahhhhh¡­¡± the monster grunted ¡°Ready for round two!¡± I got into a ready pose, saying something that seemed like an energetic guy. Of course, the monster would feel that and be ready, too. Then, both went for the strike simultaneously. Chapter 4: Twins Reunion Chapter 4: Twin¡¯s Reunion ¡°Everything is going well, sir.¡± ¡°Good.¡± ¡°He is beyond my expectations, a raw talent.¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°I did not think he could open his left eye and learn how to use it. This is what you called ¡°genius¡±?¡± A woman is sitting on a throne, her eyes are closed. The black hair covered her face, leaving a shadowy area that made her mysterious. She slowly raised her head and opened her right eye; sparks of dust with charges: positive and negative flew in the air, meaning the girl was absorbing the particles from the air and possessing an elite ability: atomic manipulation Still, the right eye is not revealed yet; it is not necessary to do so. ¡°I want to meet him so much. It has been a long time since we separated. I want to see how my brother¡¯s life went and how he progressed toward becoming a ¡°purity. ¡°I knew he was shy; he never went out to express his thoughts.¡± ¡°Well, how did you know?¡± ¡°Because he and I have telepathy, and he does not know about that.¡± ¡°Anything is possible if that is ¡°we¡±.¡± ¡°I know what you mean.¡± Standing up with an attractive arching back, the girl looked at the unlimited sky. She shook her hair up, and a beautiful forehead was shown by the brightness of the sun. The sun was brighter than ever cause¡¯ where they were standing was on the forming clouds. however; due to the antithesis, the clouds were cold, which is different from the logical world. ¡°Because he has our ¡°water¡±, also, a good competent himself. Intelligent quotient was¡­¡± ¡°One hundred sixty-five, a real genius.¡± ¡°Well, he is my brother after all.¡± ¡°Both of you always dig the details and unpopular things.¡± ¡°Are not every genius like that?¡± ¡°Welp, that is right. But the ¡°common sense¡± applies to us about intelligence.¡± ¡°If we understand it, then, immeasurable concepts will be created.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it going to be unbalanced?...being called dumb¡­ahh, it made my head burn!¡± ¡°Imagination is still based on intelligence though, if not, then everybody will call it ¡°undefined¡± terminology.¡± ¡°I like how it sounded. Probably I engage in ¡°cannot understand¡± stuff¡­¡± ¡°Just keep the way you are like that¡­You are a novice anyway.¡± ¡°...¡± The figure standing there sighed. It was thinking about how he might achieve even more with Kinter, who it was betting, no, believing could achieve the outcome: the world would be cleansed, and humanity would be rescued. It believed humans will not have stupid reasons to fight over and kill each other; that is also the imaginary scene Kinter wanted. However¡­ They need to slaughter all potential threats, they need to use magic to change the inner, and they need power, strength, and resilience. Without strength, they are just clowns who try to be serious. Not only the ¡°instinct¡± should be saved, but the balance needs to be recovered. The beginning of everything is pure equality, without useless and dangerous creatures; blasphemous is mentioned. But the journey is still long and long; expansion is mentioned. The girl gestured with her hand, waving it a long way to the left shoulder (she was using her right hand), and the beautiful white color effect traveled into the setting point. A rectangular portal was summoned, and white ashes jumped up and went down like a cycle. Witting, a portal that led to the human world, was full of sounds that sounded like real humans chatting. ¡°It is time to see my brother. He would not remember me I guarantee.¡± ¡°Some people have super memorization. I do not know if Kinter has it, hasn¡¯t he?¡± ¡°Not every genius has the same ability but domination in their field, it is not necessary tho. I will introduce myself to him, again.¡± ¡°...¡± ¡°It has been a long time since his will has awakened.¡± The girl hopped into the portal, going to see his missing brother, which took such a long time to reunite. On the way, she was whistling unceasingly, being optimistic and impatient about how her brother would look like. She ensured that¡­ Her brother is a menace. The figure was fading away because it was just a shadow replacement, which could transfer the information to the original from a very far distance. The technique it used was a derivative of Kinter¡¯s concept of dark matter, it could be transparent through many objects; I heard Kinter¡¯s mind saying it is scientists had confirmed, that it was dark and invisible because the atoms did not have electromagnetic in it. ¡°Human¡¯s mystery is making me excited.¡± Saying that like it was hoping for something to happen if the mystery is discovered and new terminologies will exist in the imaginary world. ¡°This realm is created because of you, humans.¡± After emphasizing the statement, the figure faded away completely. _______________ Ching! Two swords impacted each other, creating a high frequency of sound. They were fighting to gain the upper hand. Kinter wanted to be rewarded, while the non-existent dragon wanted the opposite, which was destruction. No one gave mercy, the monster and Kinter. They were clashing to see who was more powerful, the monster had intelligence, on the opposite, Kinter had experience and the ability, and also, his battle intelligence quotient. However, who would win would depend on the individual¡¯s beliefs. It was heard that kindness would always take over evil. If this was true, then Kinter would be the winner relentlessly. The monster pushed Kinter back with its enormous power. Then, it turned back with the thrusting of the blade going straight to Kinter¡¯s abdomen. Kinter saw that coming, but the thing is the monster did not know the upcoming surprise. Kinter kicked straight up just like he was shooting a soccer ball. The monster immediately dodged while its form was still in the same position and pose. It was going for a stab again. ¡°It will not work on me twice.¡± Fast reflexes repealed the monster¡¯s sword, stunning it for one second. However, that one second would cost its life for the final action Kinter was about to take. Vibrations with high frequency made loud and robotic noises. Particles gather around Kinter¡¯s right hand with a quick flow, the object was showing its shape, heavy-looking and military-based. ¡°It was a good fight with you but I have to end all of your criminal activities.¡± The vibrations ended with the loading sound of a weapon that could kill a lot of people with only one shot within the range. Its destructive power was so great that it was recommended for use in a war. Its limitations were its heaviness and loading speed. So, the name of this weapon is¡­ ¡°How would you handle my bazooka, huh?¡± The monster was confused. It sensed that something tragic would happen to it. So, it jumped back and tried to run¡­ But the monster was already in its range, this weapon is known for its following. Wherever the target runs, the shot would follow and cause extraordinary damage to it, Boom! The monster knew that, it tried to slash the shot in half but what it did not know was that any impact would cause the explosion. Boom! A big explosion wiped out the area; rocks and dirt were agents for the explosion. An image of destruction and constraint was brighter than ever, making you feel empty and fateful. The corpse fell with many burns, it lay in front of Kinter, having no sign of living. It was ready for Kinter, like what he would do after winning against a tough enemy: An act of necromancer. Vibrations began, starting the process of claiming. After ten seconds, consumption ended, and the monster was in Kinter¡¯s collection and possession. ¡°An interference would make the creation quicker.¡± Excited about the ¡°reward¡± he had fought for himself, he went to tell the dealer. When teleportation started, Kinter¡¯s particles flew through the air and returned to where he was. ¡°Hey.¡± ¡°Yo, did you defeat it?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Well done, here is your bracelet.¡± Holding a legendary item in his hands, Kinter was very happy that he was able to use less of his energy to perform critical creations from now on. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. ¡°What are you intending to do after?¡± ¡°I will continue wandering while protecting this realm. The fortress full of veteran warriors is near completed.¡± ¡°You sound like a guy who works in darkness.¡± ¡°You are right.¡± ¡°Wait¡­¡± All of a sudden, he remembered what he did when he first came here. ¡°I was absorbing a creation here, is it destroying anything?¡± ¡°What did you absorb?¡± ¡°A river of magma.¡± ¡°Well, that is not going to do anything. You can have it if you want.¡± ¡°A pleasure for such claim.¡± Absorbing the unusual particles would be beneficial for later use because Kinter could invent a new object with new particles. ¡°I thought of many ways to use them already.¡± ¡°I will transfer you back to the real world.¡± A circle appeared in front of Kinter, it looked like an Uzumaki, moving circularly. So it was the portal to the realm, it does not make any sound but looking at it is very bizarre like a smooth game with one hundred twenty frames per second. ¡°We could meet each other again later.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you teach a way to go to your realm? It would be faster.¡± ¡°It is because the portal would need a lot of energy to connect between realms, and the energy you had from the original would reduce by the amount of needed energy for the creation. Therefore, I and people have obligations to create packs that have energy in them, they were used to create a portal like what you are witnessing. When bringing them, you will gain extra energy that transcends the original, and the energy statistic will increase. If you use abilities that cost energy would be unfortunate for the time you want to summon a portal. A reduction will occur in your original statistical energy. I could only bring three of them due to the limitation, it would be very inconvenient to always go back and take them, you know.¡± ¡°Wow! So is there anything to keep in touch by the way?¡± ¡°Fortunately, yes.¡± Creating something in his hands, the shape of a book with a hardcover and golden written words on it. ¡°Write on this book and the message would be sent to my book. The notification would do its job to mention me.¡± ¡°So it is just like a telephone.¡± ¡°Yes, but we do not use that thing because we are the imaginary concepts.¡± ¡°I think so¡­But how did you not lose energy when running from the monster?¡± ¡°Well, I used two packs for the energy. That is why.¡± Kinter thought he felt a little dumb after asking the question with full analysis and what his physical could do. ¡°Anyways, the portal is ready. Come in before it closes.¡± ¡°Right!¡± Throwing the book to Kinter; Kinter held it and started to go into the portal, the Uzumaki portal. Kinter stepped in and started thinking. He felt like he was getting a lot stronger than before because of the amulet and information, which upgraded his mindset. ¡°Bye-bye, I will definitely text you.¡± ¡°Bye, I am interested in what you are going to text me.¡± ¡°You would not expect how it is, hehe.¡± ¡°I sensed a sophistication.¡± ¡°Hmmm¡­¡± ¡°Go in already! The portal is starting to close!¡± ¡°Oh ya! Sorry for the blabbering!¡± Kinter took himself completely into the portal this time; the face of the new friend he made disappeared due to the portal closing. He looked forward to the light, which led to his world, and stepped forward. ¡°This dude¡¯s personality amuses me.¡± No one heard what he said, the words traveled into the flow of the atmosphere where atoms are omnipresent. Flowing continuously into nothing, the words of a person who was creating a connection with other people faded into non-existence. _________ I did not think everything was that easy-going, every encounter I met was letting me have a great time development, or was it settling for me to do so? It could be like that since I am not the type of person who is intelligent and clever. If I met a real-life situation, I would be already broken. You know what I mean. Or I am not a narcissist like confident people. Beep! Beep! My mom sent me money for me to survive the next month, but, paying online constantly will be bothering so I started to go to the bank. ¡°This is what I called ¡°A life of an abroad student¡±.¡± I went to the bank and took about two thousand dolas. Then, I started to go home but while walking home, a girl bumped into me. I did not know why I felt familiar with this person; I guaranteed she was a stranger but something like a knot was tied between us that bore me. ¡°Are you okay? My bad that I did not look forward so I did not know you were running in my way.¡± ¡°It is alright, I was in a hurry so I ran without looking at the surroundings, and now this is the consequence I get. Sorry! I have to go.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ok.¡± This was just like a manga scene where two characters fall in love with each other at first sight. Do not get me wrong, I did not love her, and the bump was just a coincidence. [I finally meet you, my little brother. We will reunite soon.] Vibrations began and made the leaves of the trees swinging. Yes, I had enough money for a new computer. I have been working a part-time job in a convenience store to earn extra money. This was the day I ordered a new PC, it was exciting that I thought of becoming an academic weapon to earn more from tutoring other students; a high score and good comments would make my parents buy anything for free, thus I will do this to get both. I went into my house, went into my room. I opened the room¡¯s door firmly, and I saw¡­ A stranger! This stranger has straight dark black medium-length hair, this says the guy is a girl. Her skin is white, she wore a white shirt and green shorts. She has dark-brown eyes and a normal forehead, giving a sense of a demure and pretty woman. Her body is well-grown like it was trained but the reality is unknown about how she got that dreamt body. Overall, she is gorgeous, an outstanding appearance, this would attract a lot of men for sure. However, she was the girl that¡­ ¡°You are¡­the one on the street I remember?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± So this girl was the girl I met on the street! What was she doing in my house? I guessed she was the robber but I executed that possibility since she was jumping on my bed up and down like she was my sister or something. And, how did she even come here before me? I bet she was going in the opposite direction, and the only road that led to my house was the road that I was going toward. How did she get there before me? did she have teleportation or displacement ability or something? ¡°Also, I am your elder sister, Kinter.¡± ¡°I am your little brother? Wait¡­you know my name, too!¡± Wait, wait, wait, wait¡­what is going on? I could not tolerate this heavy information about the family relationship, it is too sensitive! She is my sister? Wait¡­ my parents said they have a daughter but she was staying somewhere in this world, also, they stuck many missing papers around the street, and no one was able to find her even the police. Everyone thought she passed away and gave up on finding her after three months, my parents are still finding her, believing she was still alive, and continuing to find her. ¡°The parents you are thinking about are not your real parents.¡± ¡°Huh?! My parents are not my real parents? Do you know about my parents?¡± At that rate, I could visualize what this circumstance was called. ¡°So I am adopted by¡­¡± ¡°Yes, and they are hiding things about this supernatural phenomenon. You and I were not born here, we were given birth in the imaginary world.¡± It sounded interesting, what the hell? I could not understand myself anymore, is this some kind of instinct that stopped me from being conscious? I did not know if I should believe what is this stranger saying but the familiar essence pulling me on the edge¡­ ¡°And what made you think I would believe it then?¡± ¡°Let me explain the whole context.¡± Vibrations began. I could see the particles were gathering around her; she was consuming particles onto the other eye, different from the eye Kinter was absorbing, it was the right eye. The radiation was far superior to Kinter¡¯s current strength, it was dense and heavy, enough to scare the beginners. The ability she was using was no mistake, it was¡ªatomic manipulation. Not forget to mention, she must be an expert at using it. ¡°Every species is born with its unique instinct, also, each varies from animals. One individual has DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that can be passed through generations, while there are so many individuals that have unique genes, a balance must take action, therefore competition, natural selection, and mutation are factors that reduce weak individuals. Chosen individuals will continue to live on, what they did to survive will be saved by the thing called ¡°instinct¡±...¡± ¡°This is like learning biology from school.¡± The girl ignored my commentary, and she continued explaining (yapping). ¡°The skills acquired are saved in the instinct, therefore abilities will be passed on to the next generations, and a high chance of unlocking ancestry abilities including the abilities from other ancestry branches, mutations could occur to make the person weak but mostly make the person stronger. No other people could acquire the same ability if they do not share the same blood and genes. As generations of breeds expand further, the more dilute blood of the original will fade. As long as people have the same soul and instinct, the same ability will be given to their birth. Fortunately, our ancestors got along very well so I thought they were connected to the soul I guaranteed that they must have similar abilities, and from there they started to have the next generation, our grandparents did the same and the cycle continues to this day. You and I shared the same blood, therefore, we could learn atomic manipulation and enhance it just like playing games, is it your favorite field? ¡° Just like what she said before, a whole paragraph was explained to me, and it seemed they were bullet points, reasons, and evidence (must have learned in books) to prove that I am her little brother. I have heard enough, so what she said in simpler terms is that I share the same blood, genes, soul, and instinct that enabled us to have the same ability. Our relatives will be able to unlock the same ability, also, another ability if one of their parents has another ability. If the instinct and soul were the same, the blood would not be diluted but still stay original. Interesting! I will call her sister from now on because no stranger would explain to me that deeply, especially their abilities if she can change the senses of people then I would be able to break out because I have improved my mental strength a lot to withstand the oblivion. What if she was stronger than that? Well, the beginning of everything should not be overpowered in the introduction. The routes could be different but if I was chosen to be the protagonist, I could have a chance to develop; this was what I concluded from reading fiction. From the interactions I had with her, I think she is the type of character that looks silly and energetic outside, but, inside is a serious, smart, and careful person. ¡°Enough talking, should we have a battle first?¡± ¡°I was thinking the same, sister!¡± ¡°You are just going to lose anyway, hehe. Fight with all your might and do not hesitate so I can know what you need to improve.¡± ¡°Sister! Hesitation could be a part of my strategy¡­¡± ¡°Just use what you had I don¡¯t care.¡± ¡°Thank you, sister.¡± ¡°First, I need to create a dimension¡­¡± Creating a dimension must be her magic ability; what a convenient ability for fighting. ¡°Do not be mad if I surpass you somehow.¡± ¡°Like I let you do it.¡± Lasing sounds were her magic¡¯s sound effect, this told the magic particles started to build and cover the room; they chose to fight in Kinter¡¯s room because it is big enough for a battlefield. Magenta walls finished its three-dimensional square building, and the last joint of construction made a satisfying sound because the building was too impeccable. ¡°Wait! We have to do something with my stuff.¡± ¡°Do not worry, look!¡± The objects in the room disappeared because of her¡­magic? ¡°Everything will appear at the exact position after the fight.¡± ¡°Ok¡­ok.¡¯ I sighed ¡°Shall we begin?¡± ¡°Yes! Sister.¡± A sword was instantly created and held by Kinter¡¯s right hand. The last scene was Kinter holding position as well as the sister. They waited for the moment to start attacking. The intense faces of the two were sweating, showing a similar in some parts. That told they were surely brother and sister, a reunion out of nowhere. The examination of the two, no, the sister began. They both attacked simultaneously, and sounds of clashing echoed throughout the area. Chapter 5: Time Reversal; First Apocalypse, Fallen Angel Chapter 5: Time Reversal; First Apocalypse, Fallen Angel In outer space, where it seems to look like a void. Everything was just giving humping sounds as if you are sitting on an airplane at a very tall height, zooming out would see a whole galaxy, the Milky Way. But extending zooming out would give an overall look of every shiny beautiful star, in other words, it is a universe. It is a domain where almost everything is just dream-core and mysterious; humans can never reach this because it would take billions of light years. Even if humans could get it, a bunch of threats would pose out there since only zero point zero percent of the universe was explored or maybe not. The universe is expanding at an incredible speed, to the infinite point so contacting another civilization will take a very ridiculously long time. But, we can never know what other civilizations have¡­ ¡°P SA WIDNS AWKS FWBAWK WADN¡± ¡°WAD DSIJW OAWJD?¡± ¡°WAJD DAWJDWS¡± ¡°ASJW WOADSJ OAWDJ¡± A language that cannot be understood yet, it is from outer space; surely there must be a highly evolving civilization out there. The day has come, the day in which another powerful civilization comes to greet us without giving any appointments. Classifying into two types, one will make a contract with us, in other words, they do for good purposes. While the other¡­brings the end to the world, an apocalypse by invaders. What mentioned was not applied in this case. Five white figures were indeed talking together, planning something while watching their supreme monitor with a¡­probably four generations ahead or further imagining than what it was like. The monitor was showing a rural and foggy place, it seemed that they were going to head for an exploration to that place to progress something. ____ ching! A big sound echoed from two swords frictioning. I exchanged a lot of strikes with my sister¡¯s maliciousness. She was very serious with her examination, it made me have no words to say in order to keep silent as much as possible because talking would ruin our concentration. I was searching for her weak spots so I could end with one fatal blow; it was just like searching my opponent¡¯s weak spots such as foot position, mindset, and other specific stuff in soccer. I was able to make connections with soccer but not able to execute the play, it was because I had very little experience in using a sword. Looking at my sister, she must be an expert in the battlefield, which meant I had no chance against her at all, her fighting skills were just impeccable, from striking and defending, those looked effortlessly, yet accurate and powerful. I did attacking at normally weak spots of a human body, I took every chance I could when these appeared but my sister already figured out and guessed I would land my attacks on these spots so she parried as fast as sonic speed; not forget to mention, her speed was extraordinary quick, I guess she was just using two percent and it was already nearly outlashing my eyes. Then, she spoke the first words after five minutes in this on-going match. She was feeling empathetic towards me. I felt a little irritated, of course, she has much more experience in fighting, and she choked me like that, which seemed very unfair. ¡°From what I am witnessing, you have to train more, Kinter.¡± ¡°I know sister, I have just learned how to use a sword for a month. I have not trained my strength, yet. This is my pure strength without any practice.¡± ¡°Great potential. Right now, you are just a piece of meat.¡± ¡°¡­¡± That is how my sister responded to her missing brother after a very long time, a sense of humor I felt unexpectedly. Knowing that I cannot beat her, I nodded. ¡°This is just an examination, not a real fight anyway.¡± That got into my mind as soon as I released the tension from my head, breaking out of a short period of time from over thinking habits. ¡°That is why you will never make any long-term relationships.¡± ¡°¡­what do you mean sister? You can read my mind, too?¡± ¡°It is a secret. Leave it aside, you cannot articulate your feelings well enough so people cannot understand you.¡± I knew it must be a type of telepathy prosthetics like the figure lurking inside my body. I just did not know how the system worked, it was like hiding the truth thus I must be the one to get left out, similar to me in real life. People might stand in front of me while I was sitting there, feeling invisible to them. To me, it is nothing to be serious about, I just do not what is the point of having a person blocked in the middle way? I know that I might be delusional, I just do not feel comfortable about being in that circumstance, or was it ¡°instinct¡± making me feel that way? I always have a bad feeling when staying with someone for too long, it would make me uncomfortable to reveal my true identity. Because all I was trying to do was avoid the other person¡¯s madness. I thought it would be better to avoid conflicts, then, I realized the covering was just destructing my self-consciousness, taking away my ability to think clearly. Now, I can get rid of these surroundings, but the process of healing will probably take long. Since the day the figure told me to get over, I could show who I am without the fear of getting hated. It writhed all the way around because I realized playing alone was so much better. But when someone tries to interact with me, I would say all out what I thought and what I felt, if the person shows a grimace face, then be it. If they try to do something to me then I would love to see what they are going to do. But one thing I can assume is that¡­they cannot hurt me, even if they can, I would not let everything be so easy. But mostly, everything would not get that worse. Open up your right eye, Kinter. I heard the figure telling me to open up my right eye; the eye that I cannot open since the left eye awakening, it felt drooping and hard to open when I tried to do so. What I thought was another ability must be lying on this side, an ability, which is more benevolent to acquire. The fusion has gotten far into me, I exclaimed. Opening up my right eye, nothing was too special, I tried to discover what was the feeling that embraced me. My vision is just as ordinary as before, neither enhanced nor hue changing. ¡°Oh you had that already?¡±My sister asked in revelation ¡°What did you see sister? Normal isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Your right eye¡­¡± The moment I heard her, a tick-tack sound adjusted my span of attention. A clock, it sounded just like a clock running on the wall, a circular one, commonly present in every family¡¯s house. Thus, its ability¡­must relate to control time, I suppose. A cool ability, relating to the atoms, no, everything. Time is the condition law in order for everything to happen, develop, or annihilate. In other words, everything begins with time. ¡°The ability has the opposite meaning.¡± ¡°Reversing right, sister?¡± ¡°It allows you to travel back from the present, depending how much time you want to go back.¡± My sister stopped to explain for a brief moment, then, she maliciously held the sword tightly and jumped with the speed I cannot keep up. I looked at her in amazement but her motion suddenly accelerated slower and slower, then stopped completely. Trails of colors in a rainbow together went through my ears, my eyes, my whole appearance. A moment of witnessing such a non-logical and dream-core phenomenon, I felt funny. So, this was my ability¡ªreturning from the past. The past, the present I wanted to redo. I was standing at the time when my sister was explaining, similar to before, she jumped at me with incredible speed. However, I saw that and dodged the devious attack, looking at her back. A moment of her shirt flapping in the air made me fall in love with her posture; a true expert in dominating the word swordsmanship. This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. ¡°You can still stand until this moment, meaning you saw it coming, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Uh¡­uh¡­so this is the power of my right eye. It coordinates with how everything is created. Atomic manipulation and time reversal, huh? Very interesting.¡± ¡°Alright, shall we continue?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± No hesitation, I gave her a horizontal slash, a powerful frequency, which broke the ground with dust and rocks flying, pairing with the way the slashing traveled. She arched her back ultimately to the ground, Magic particle energy coated the backside part of the slash, creating a surface. She used that as a momentum to jump on and quickened to my face. A direct vertical strike with unbelievable speed almost took me out because I dodged to the side, dodging it. My heart was beating so fast, which told me that I was scared. I quickly slashed her while she was in mid-air, she parried my sword back with higher force. I was sliding back a bit because of the parry. I was frightened, frightened, very frightened. She created a dagger for the close range; She closed the gap between me and her, then, she started to give me multi-slashes to break my posture. Oh my days, this was the hardest fight I¡¯ve ever had, she was on another level, I was defending the whole time, searching for an opportunity to flip the table. However, it is not over yet. I kicked her in her chest, pushing her back just¡­a little bit, ¡°What a masculine hit.¡± ¡°Shut up! I couldn''t do anything else.¡± ¡°Tell me when you give up and I won¡¯t attack you anymore.¡± ¡°What do you mean? I will never give up! I will never give up until I pass away!¡± ¡°Oh yeah, I nearly forgot that you have this stubborn personality. Well then! Show me more!¡± I summoned the non-existent dragon from the encounter I had in ¡°Hell¡±. Its role was to support me in strength. It was beneficial about having two on one, it was always like that; quantity dominates. But she seems careless about what I did. She stood there watching the whole summon, grinning with a dark face, which I cannot see what she was looking at. I guessed she was just so confident in her power that these things appear too normal for her, or easier I assumed. ¡°Are you really sure about this? Do you think that two on one would give you an upper hand?¡± ¡°I like to test anything even if this doesn¡¯t work out, it would give me more experience so I can adjust later on.¡± ¡°Well bullet point, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± ¡°The experience between you and me is too great. I might just pull out all the tricks I had.¡± ¡°Pull whatever you want. But remember,¡± ¡°Ye?¡± ¡°I have time reversal, too¡± ¡°...¡± Reminding me that she had the same ability as mine, I felt like this is not going to end well for me. She might just have more experience in using it, when and who to use. But I didn¡¯t really care, I just wanted to utilize myself. ¡°That thing didn¡¯t scare me as much as you want anyways.¡± I and the dragon jumped to her, both standing at a different position. I stood in the front while the dragon stood behind my sister. We slashed her simultaneously. I and the dragon jumped to her, both standing at a different position. I stood in the front while the dragon stood behind my sister. We slashed¡­Wait! She used¡ª the time reversal. Showing off her ability and knowing what we would do, she quickly did a tornado kick, throwing out our weapons; her shirt almost revealed the pleasant sight, quickly covered down. I got the neck held by her as well as the dragon, the fight didn¡¯t begin long, and she ended it just in a minute. ¨C I tried to reverse the time before the catch but it did not work. Trail of lights appeared on her left eye, the tick-tack sounds of a clock walking slowly with its yellow dusty three-dimension clock showed in front of my face. That meant¡ªshe reversed time. She used time reversal to counter my reversing time, she used the concept of taking poison to kill poison. I ran out of tricks. At that moment, I thought I would accept defeat for the first time. But¡­an unusual occurrence happened. Behind my sister(I would be given her name after this rivalry) appeared a circular portal, a figure I thought was looking half-human-half-alien going out from the portal silently. It focused magic particle energy onto its hands, creating a majestic blue purple dimensional square, In the next second, the diabolical but beautiful magic launched directly at my sister who was still facing me. ¡°Sister!¡± ¡°I know! Who do you think I am?¡± Fastening the process of creating something, particle energies quickly got into the shape of a sword; however, that sword was different from any different aspects of a Katana(Katana is the best looking sword, right? So I chose the Katana for comparison). It looked huge and long from the frontal, the hold was small enough for the person who wielded it. It looked just like a sword from classic combating games similar to soul games. But her sword must be an artificial type because I saw her separating the attack into two different routes going aside my sister¡ªI guess it was a specialist for parrying I assumed. ¡°HAJDWDNASJ¡± The half human said something I could not understand, it has its language I guess, well, it was obvious since its appearance was not something in this world. While I was looking at the figure, she did something to me and her. I could see the lights like smoke disappearing after a second. ¡°Such nonsense¡­This world is a ridiculous creation of our father, how can he let this world continue to live? It was a good choice that we betrayed him¡­¡± ¡°Excuse me, may I ask how you can get into here? And that attack wasn¡¯t saying that you are a good person.¡± My sister cut his line of speech. I can understand what he was saying, probably my sister used a translating magical ability. ¡°Oh? Pardon me! I was trying to assassinate you, I just want to end you softly as well as your¡­another person I guess?¡± Trying to assassinate us? I once had this kind of thing with that medical clinic doctor, and¡­the thing inside me must have killed him. ¡°Now it¡¯s clear. You are an enemy, and that means¡­I have to kill you.¡± ¡°Such big words, I just don¡¯t have feelings for creatures in this world, especially you, humans.¡± ¡°Why do you hate humans that much? I know that somebody deserves to be hated. But, I threw that evil thought away because we can change it, we can get rid of all negative feelings human beings have. With my power and my little brother¡¯s efforts, we could change this world for the better.¡± ¡°No! They are just a cunning species. Humans have infinite possibilities of causing anything. What do you think all humans have at first? It was the ability to think! They have the choice to be kind and friendly. Instead, they destroyed many things which were there to be conserved. They destroy ecosystems, biodiversity of animals, having them to be extinct, awful right? I know they have to do it to develop, to grow but instead they used it for worse purposes you know all of it right?¡± I didn¡¯t know where this alien came from but I was assured it had an amount of knowledge of a secondary kid or maybe higher like a high schooler. I agree that humans did a lot of destruction that caused extinction for many animals; however, is it the only reason? ¡°The era of dragons and the era of dinosaurs, all disappeared just for that one species which is smaller and weaker took the lead, it sounded like a setting, right? Human era is the worst of all because of the destruction it has given to this world. Nuclear bombs are an example of this point, with these missiles, it could restart this world in no time. Humans have the ability to adapt and change, what made you possibly think the clearness of hatred and conflicts would stay forever? That humans won¡¯t compete again? Humans have infinite possibilities, they could think of impossible things even getting rid of the concept of hate because some freaks may just find it out, and we call that psychopaths or geniuses . All living things occur simultaneously, and they have to fight for their habitat. Competition was made for balance, and you humans were too good at it. Many people living in this world will later take all the lands, and the next wouldn¡¯t have chances to live. Before the complete destruction, I must start an exorcism because human¡¯s extinction will definitely rescue this world, everything will go back to its place again. I will prove that my point is right, my dad will have to admit it.¡± Ok ok, I kinda understood what this extreme garrulous freak with an autocrat personality was saying. It was crazy to think all of that but because it was obvious that the thing in front of me wasn¡¯t a human, and anything that has an unusual look and mind would be the most dangerous thing ever. This is something relating to mangas with apocalypses; then I think I and my sister are the main protagonists in this story, not being narcissists or something but why everything happened consecutively to me like this was something that a main character could interface with. I forgot to mention, this alien has blonde hair, its eyes are white completely just like ghosts, it wears a white cloak covering its hands and lower body completely. A crystal in the middle of the cloak with four lines intersect, creating a sense of god-like thing. Its power was still unknown, I wasn¡¯t the one who took its strike. So, my sister was the one who knew it the most. ¡°Careful Kinter, this is not easy as it seems. The power from the first strike made my special sword for parrying get a little broken. We must take this thing out before it erases human mankind, humans can still change I believe it, its desire is just extremist.¡± Huh? My sister said to be careful and made me anxious nonstop. My sister has a speed of light, her strength can destroy the Earth if she wants and she hasn¡¯t given her all yet. So the thing in front of me could be stronger than my sister? That is ridiculously difficult for the two of us. I can use my head to fight with stronger opponents, just that. From its story, I thought the alien is a god, and this god had some problems with another greater god who is its father I guess. It betrayed its father and came all the way here, just to start its thing. The type of god that has lost its trust in a major event like Satan, it started to betray and revolutionize its concept, just for one day that it could prove to this world that it¡¯s right. I called it, ¡ªFallen angel, and this is the first apocalypse I have to face. Creating dual swords, each hand held one. I started to get in the flow, which was to eliminate its concept.
