*It’s been 2 months since Heikin met egao, they both have been living in egao’s farm, Heikin’s parents are still out of town, He was living alone in the house just because of his studies, but he hasn’t gone to school since 2 months.. Zenith has made a training schedule for Heikin to perform for the whole day, leaving only the weekends out.. It includes him waking up, eating, then helping out Egao, and doing atleast 51% of the field work, after which he jogs for 2 hours and then eats his first meal of the day, Sometimes there’s some optional stuff in the end, like punching a tree some thousand times and jumping with full strength till he potentially can’t stand, There have been times when heikin almost died, but zenith stood unfazed. He usually would give extra workout on days like this.

At this point, Heikin can easily do 200 pushups, before feeling the slightest pain. Egao doesn’t really get into their training and surprisingly doesn’t help heikin at points where he is close to death and zenith pushes him harder.. he just makes food for him when its time for meals and talks very less, which is weird as when heikin and egao met the first day, a bond could’ve been felt by anyone who would see them together.*

Just outside egao’s fields

Boshi: There’s the place!, that jogging bastard went straight up here that day.

Saru: I feel like you’re lying.. who even lives at such an isolated place.

Boshi: dude, this guy isn’t normal.. some kind of weird entity or some shit..

Saru: Okay.. tell me the whole incident that happened yesterday.

Boshi: so we were just biking our way at the pizza hub.. and this fast running dude barged into us and left us behind.. almost like teasing us.. that really got on my nerves and i could barely keep up with his tail, and see where he ended up.

Saru: What a bother.. well gotta respect the ego… Lets just end this quick

Egao sees them both and is shocked to see other humans on his fields.

Egao: Hello there.. um how may i help you guys?

Saru: Where’s the entity with the beard and uncut hair which is really fast…

Egao: I’m sorry guys! i told him to cut his hair!!, please don’t be scared.. he is a human just like you two. he eats too, a lot actually, please don’t think of him as a creature, i bet his unmannered look got you scared. Boshi: well well, we don’t really care man.. I don’t give a damn if he’s a human or a bearded fairy running from satan under bright sun.. I’m here to gauge his head out coz my friend here doesn’t like him

Egao: what? just because you don’t like him? you want your friend to kill him? Saru: yep, such is the rule of “Death Scouters”!!, if it hurts your ego, erase it.

Egao: Sorry guys, but my friend is working hard and doesn’t have time for this nonsense, i will ask you two to leave as i’m not free too-

Boshi: NONSENSE???

Boshi gets mad and comes at egao with his baseball bat, only to find himself rolling down the mountain the next second, with Saru just behind him.. Egao proceeds to go back and work in the fields with Heikin already at it.

It’s evening and Zenith calls heikin for something.

Heikin: Here.

Zenith: So. How were the last 61 days?

**Heikin**: Extreme.

**Zenith**: I see. Here are the results of your days..

Zenith lays out a sort of huge holographic in the sky.. it says

Field %

More than 70% field work done in a day = 14 days

More than 65% field work done in a day = 21 days

More than 60% field work done in a day = 10 days

More than 55% field work done in a day = 11 days

More than 51% field work done in a day = 4 days

Less than 51% field work done in a day = 1 day

Heikin is shocked, he thought he had given his best to not miss a single day..

**Zenith**: well.. not quite extreme i would say.. look at that.. you had one average day-

Heikin seems furious, and tries attacking zenith, only to find him transported to the very top of that mountain in a flash of a second, there he sees egao meditating..

Zenith: now now, it’s gonna take some decades for you to attack me and actually succeed..

Heikin: where are we?

**Zenith**: This is the peak of Mt. Hajime, this is where you have been living for the last 2 months, and this is the final day for you here.

Heikin: Okay. I’m ready for the task you’re about to give.

Zenith: You seem to be adjusted well to my regimen, alright then.

Egao slowly walks towards them.

Egao: This might be fun.

Zenith: Indeed.

Heikin: What?

**Zenith**: Fight.

Egao punches heikin 2 metres away.

Heikin: Atleast tell me I’m supposed to fight egao, and what the hell is with your power? Working in fields for a decade seems strength building but this much?

Egao: I'm sorry heikin, Sir Zenith told me to make sure i give my best

Heikin: I never knew you could fight, egao.

**Egao**: Now you do, show me everything you’ve worked so hard for here.

Heikin: Here i come.

Heikin unleashes some form of martial arts which seem totally unprofessional yet refined, almost like he made them by himself. Egao still manages to not get hit and dodge every single hit, there were 15 hits in 3 seconds to be precise.

Heikin: Unbelievable.. what is this agility.. you clearly possess skill, why did you never tell me any of this??

Egao: I’m sorry.

Egao punches heikin again, he is again unable to defend and gets dragged exactly 2 metres like before. Heikin lies unconscious for 10 seconds, egao drops his guard and the next moment we see heikin right behind him, this time he isn’t holding back and kicks egao off the cliff. Heikin immediately realizes it and rushes to somehow aid Egao, but zenith jumps in and stops him.

Heikin: what the hell? He is gonna die, let me go!!

Zenith: Calm down. Let’s have a look shall we?

They both see down, heikin is still rushing to go aid egao, but zenith is holding him. Egao almost touches the ground, but moments before it he transforms into a huge giant, with the size of almost 100 metres in height, and the whole city gets an earthquake, Heikin is shocked and doesn’t know what to say.

Zenith: see, that is the danger i saved you from the night you got attacked by the bear, It wasn’t the bear who almost killed you, it was egao’s instincts which almost transformed him into an uncontrollable giant. infact he had already half transformed.

Heikin: He can’t control it?, does he know about it or not?

Zenith: well, lets ask him.

Zenith touches egao and he reverts back to his original size, he didn’t move an inch this time, so the damage is only limited to the ground he fell on, and the earthquake. A few minutes later, Egao comes back to his senses.

Heikin: Are you okay?

Egao(screaming fearfully and loudly): WHAT DID I DO? NOT AGAIN, NO THIS WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, DID I KILL SIR ZENITH?

Zenith: Calm down. That’s not something that would happen in this existence.

Heikin: Everything is fine buddy, zenith made sure you wouldn’t do anything.

Egao: I’m glad.. Thanks sir zenith, I’m so glad you were here..

Zenith: Why don’t you answer some of my questions to return the favor..

Egao(looking worried): S-sure.

Zenith: Are you a human?

Egao: yes.

Zenith: What happened that night?

Egao: I- i don’t- I can’t- please, don’t-

Zenith: Well then, I’ll be glad to answer the question for you.

Egao: What do you mean?

Zenith: Let’s start from the evening 10 years ago.. It’s you, your father, mother, 2 small sisters, and a big brother.. all of you are enjoying a good dinner together, just like usual, then some loud sound comes from a nearby cliff, your father and brother get up to look what it is, No one is alarmed yet.. You with your sisters and mom still eating.. then you hear another bang, this time it’s you who runs towards it-

Egao: STOOOP PLEASE, I DON’T WANNA REMEMBER

Zenith(unfazed): You hear your brother and dad shout in a very painful way.. your heartbeat stops. You, not knowing what to do, make a rather strategic move to go back and rescue your mom and sisters with your life.. You indeed do that.. Until you wake up midnight, with no idea of how you were unconscious, you see no one in the hut, everyone is gone, no sisters, not your mother.. you run outside but no one is there, it’s very dark, in a lot ways.. you keep searching for something, you keep searching.. that something isn’t your family at this point, You just wanna find something which assures that they’re atleast dead, which you do find, your dad’s skull and your brother’s cloths covered in blood, in the morning.. you’re more depressed than anything.. but you still continue to look for your mother and sisters body, or just anything.. what you do find is another grotesque fact.. that you apparently possess the skill of body alteration. You can change the size of your body, individual muscles, parts or anything at all that is on that body, now you lie on the painful brink..

At this point, egao is facing towards the ground and doesn’t say anything, while heikin hears it all silently..

Zenith : You have a theory after realizing your powers.. You think that you were the one who killed your own mother and sisters that night, worst case, you ate them, or just threw them away in rage, or took them very far away to brutally murder them in that “uncontrollable form”.

Heikin(in utter shock): All this can’t be true…

Zenith: Egao. you’ve been living with all of this since 10 years… all alone in these fields, living in the same hut..

Egao: how…how… how do you know all of this… what are you.. wait.. are you the one.. YOU BASTARD YOU’RE THE ONE WHO KILLED MY DAD AND BROTHER, YOU MOTHERFUCKER-

We see egao in these type of emotions for the first time.. ever. as he punches zenith, with somewhat of a modified way of just increasing his right hand’s size, Which zenith stops without any hassle,

Zenith: I do not meddle in pointless behaviour, I don’t have anything to do with any of your family members egao.. the point here is… you did not kill anyone that night.. or anyone after that.. You’ve never killed anyone in your entire life.

Egao: I don’t believe it.. I’ve blamed myself for all these years.. i can’t believe any of that.. I’m a monster i never wished to become, I’ve the blood of my-

Zenith touches egao’s head and egao starts crying really badly.. But those tears aren’t of sadness, but of relief.

Egao(smiling while crying): Are you a god?

Heikin: What just happened guys? It’s too much to take.. are you okay egao?

Egao: Heikin.. i wasn’t the one.. i didn’t kill my own little sisters that night.. my mom.. i did not eat her heikin, i’m so happy heikin.

Heikin doesn’t wanna bother egao more so he doesn’t ask whatever questions he has and gives egao rest. Egao sleeps peacefully, it’s like a burden put away from him, He truly was smiling while sleeping. Heikin later goes to zenith to catch up on everything..

Zenith: Whatever i said.. was true.. and i know all of that because i know everything.

Heikin: The hell does that mean?

Zenith: I know infinity.

Heikin: I don’t get it.

Zenith: This is the first time i’m going to reveal any of my abilities to you, so listen up.. I have been granted the ability “Infinite knowledge”. simply meaning, I know everything. Whatever has happened, Whatever is happening, Whatever will ever happen, I know everything. I’m not the only one with this ability.. Several people, gods and demi-gods have been granted this power.. A total of 99 of them to be exact.. and the ones who survived the curse of knowledge were very low..

Heikin: How do you even die when you know everything?

**Zenith**: Indeed, but the deaths cause isn’t anything other than the fact that you know everything.. You see.. you know so much, it becomes almost impossible to stay sane or comprehend it all, It becomes a fight every second to just stay on the sane side.. and 95% of the people couldn’t take it..

Heikin: It’s hard to even take in the fact that something like that exists.. Do you truly know everything?

Zenith: Sadly, my disciple. yes.

Heikin: How did you survive it? the overwhelming knowledge?.

Zenith: hahahahahaha, some other day, let’s not fill you with so much knowledge in one conversation.
