“The main character is pretty normal till his 10th standard, he participates in sports but barely gets recognized, he tries studying but barely finds it interesting, his overall score in everything he has done in life sums about an average one. One day while walking back from another average day in school, he bought a can of coffee and sat on a bench, where a weird stranger was sitting already, he doesn’t give much thought to it, The stranger then starts talking out of no where, as if he just came back after finding out some secrets of the universe, he states several lines about space, time and the endless possibilities it could offer, the mysteries it holds, the vastness it has,
Stranger:“There are civilizations thousands of years ahead of that of ours, ready to destroy us in a matter of seconds, while we fight for the superior gender or race or country amongst ourselves, can’t we see that to this cosmic scale, our biggest concerns are like grains of sands?”, After listening to the stranger go on about all of this for some minutes..
Main Character:”it clicks. It all makes sense now, i feel like i had an idea of all of this, which made me lose the ability to give my all to these mundane daily activities, i always held back and couldn’t do what i actually can.” The stranger notices him and is surprised someone was listening to him,
The stranger asks “…what is your name kid?” . He replies “I’m Heikin Shige” ,
Stranger: ”Since you show so much interest in my talks, why don’t you come here tomorrow evening Heikin, I have some things I’d like to teach you.
Main Character: (looking at him with bright eyes full of hope) “You bet.”.
----------------------------------------
It’s the next days afternoon, as we see heikin in a class trying to think of things that could give him the advantage against any potential dangers to his planet, the physics teacher asks him a question about the ongoing topic with which he replies with a logical intuition, which fails to impress the teachers limited ideal, the teacher gives him a small lecture on taking studies seriously and continues the class. After class we see heikin head towards the place he met the stranger at, he sits there for some time, and as soon as he thinks that the stranger wont come, he somewhat teleports besides him,
Heikin:“i thought you weren’t coming old guy”
Stranger:“i make sure to do what i say kid, aren’t you shocked or something the way i just manifested myself in front of you?”
Heikin:“you want me to think you’re a normal guy in his 40’s?, hell no, i’m not that stupid..”
Stranger:“interesting”
The stranger takes him to a nearby area which is nearly abandoned by the city and its people, on the way, Heikin asks
Heikin:”Whats your name, mysterious old man?”
Stranger:”ain’t that old kid, i can still lift a planet or two if i tried”
Heikin:”what in the-”
Stranger:”never mind, just kidding”
Heikin:”ofcourse you were, muscles which can lift a planet?, i don’t think such muscles would fit in a human sized body, not possible”
Stranger:”You rely on logic a lot don’t you?”
Heikin:”It’s one of the only things which makes sense to me in this messed up existence, so i choose to hold on to it for my daily survival”
Stranger:”what if i said i can break logic apart in front of your eyes, mend it in my way and present to you a new reality?”
Heikin:”That would defy my thought process, you know.. i’ve been thinking about this, the way you talk, the way you made me strive for being better in a day.. it already is close to its logical limit.. in my entire life i haven’t been pushed like this, i haven’t done much yet, it’s only been 24 hours since we talked for the first time.. but i know one thing, I am ready for whatever lies ahead, for the first time in my life!”.
Stranger:”Those are some heavy words, Lets see you destroy that Rock there first, You have 4 hours.”
Heikin:”Destroy the rock?? 4 hours?? , i’m a goddamn 16 year old human.. what am i supposed to do? file a false case on him and break it apart with mental stress??”
Stranger:“I leave that to you, I’ll be waiting.. your 4 hours have started already” He tries to think of a way to do it, searching for other stones or pointy objects or anything in the field which could help him, but it feels like someone already cleared everything from the field, its just the huge rock, which is twice his size, and himself in the whole field. He thinks to himself
Heikin:”If it was any other day in past i would’ve easily said, that’s impossible, there’s no logic in human flesh breaking apart a rock, with so limited strength, and would’ve left the field or given up, but today, I’m giving myself chills, why am i stepping towards that rock.. why am i warming up my fists… what the hell.. this isn’t me… what is this feeling..”
He starts punching the rock with a limited power, not giving it all his strength, he keeps doing it for 20 minutes out of sheer will..
Heikin:”dang it, my bones will break soon like this, what i’m doing defies logic and sense, Theres enough blood to paint myself with on the ground.. why do i keep punching, fuck it, i don’t care. I’ll die due to blood loss soon anyway, if this is how i die, i’ll make it look like magic.. yes i’ll break logic apart with these bloody fists of mine, right here, before i die I”LL DO IT WITH THESE FISTS DAMN IT. he hits with all his power on the next punch, and the shock it gives him is enough to make him unconscious, an hour passes by and he wakes up, The stranger is sitting besides him.
Stranger:”My name is Zenith Gnarshaw, I’m the Commander of the elite group of the Voiders Guild, i have enough power to lift multiple planets with these small human like muscles and enough abilities to break apart your logic and reality itself, I accept you as my disciple and your protection is my duty as long as i live, you better be rested till tomorrows evening kid, see ya” He barely grasps everything and goes right back to sleep due to fatigue Next day, he wakes up at 12 noon,
Heikin:“Holy heavens, that was refreshing, haven’t slept like that since the old toddler days, sure brings back nostalg-”
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
He suddenly remembers last evenings incidents and tries recalling the things the stranger said, but can only remember the name of the stranger properly
Heikin:”Zenith Gnarshaw, that’s one heavy name, now that i associate him with it, he suddenly seems much scarier..”
He gives up on going school as its already too late, while brushing, realizes that his almost broken hands are totally fixed,
Heikin:”All of this doesn’t make sense.. feels like a dream, the way i kept punching last night, my hands are all healed like some magic.. this seriously is a big mess and my logic driven mind would rather ignore their existence than deal with it.. AHHHHHHH”
He suddenly rushes towards the mountain and finds the rock, he is shocked to see it completely broken apart, almost like a huge giant stepped on it.. at this point, he starts believing that he really is in a dream, and he’s most probably dead due to blood loss already..
Heikin:”Mom and dad are out of town anyway, nothing to do than just sit here with this breeze i guess.., these past 2 days.. sure were crazier than my entire life, i still don’t know if its reality or some nonsensical dream i’m having, if it is a dream, then the actual reality is gonna feel underwhelming enough to not live around.., SIR ZENITH WHERE ARE YOU.. I WANNA TALK ,
he shouts as loud as he can out of the overwhelming confusion he’s in. His voice echoes and echoes, but then succumbs into silence..
Heikin:”This is creeping me out now, i haven’t even talked to anyone ever since i’ve woken up.. am i even sane anymore?
Egao:“Stop questioning your sanity in the middle of nowhere after shouting like a hungry pig, have some standards will’ya?””
Heikin:”wh-who are you?”
Egao:”Someone who just encountered another wild pig while herding his own”
Heikin:”…”
Egao:”Now come on, explain yourself, why did you shout like that?”
Heikin:”It’s nothing, thanks for coming to me like that, you rushed here to help me, i’m really grateful!”
Egao:”Nah, i was just 2 metres away and still didn’t wanna walk here, but my piggy came running so i followed him”
Heikin:”Oh… I see 0-0 , aren’t you too young to be a farmer?
Egao:”Maybe, but if not me then who else?”
Heikin:”ehh, your father and uncle maybe?”
Egao:”Yeah they help me mentally, but thats all”
Heikin:”ehhh thats so weird, they won’t help you in the fields ?”
Egao:”I don’t think dead people can touch things in this world, under normal circumstances that is”
Heikin:”Oh crap.. i’m sorry dude, may they be resting in peace”
Egao:”I’m sure they are, why don’t you come and eat with me, i heard your stomach just now, and it’s time for me to eat too”
Heikin:”Oh right, i haven’t eaten anything yet.. i’ll be glad to do so” They both walk towards a huge field filled with greenery, it looks really well cared, but theres no equipments or anyone else in the whole field..
Heikin:”You really do it all by your own hands.. and are so good at it, this makes me feel like such a loser”
Egao:”If it does, then just get better”
Heikin:”Woah… you sure are rude”
Egao:”Life is too, hah anyways what would you wanna eat?”
Heikin:”Anything that your mom made works!, haven’t eaten any home made stuff for some weeks as my parents are out of town”
Egao:”I’m sorry but i’ll make the food, i guess it still fills the quota for home made?”
Heikin:” you know how to make food too? how old are you again?”
Egao:”I think i’m 16.. “
Heikin:”You think?”
Egao:”There’s no one to remember about my age or years, or even days.. i live isolated from the world here..”
Heikin:”What about mom dude?, you’re making the food yourself coz she is just busy right now, isn’t it?” (He hopes the answer is yes, he truly does)
Egao:”ah.. no, i haven’t seen my mom since a decade now"
Heikin is genuinely sad and shaken by hearing this, there’s 10 seconds of silence.
Heikin:”It must feel alone..”
Egao:”Alone? i have more company than you ever did HAHAHAHAHAHA”
Heikin:”hah.. yeah i guess so.. you sure love your animals huh”
Egao:”They’re all i have, this field, these animals, and this hut”
Heikin:”(with a sad face) how about i keep you company for a while?”
Egao:”…what?”
Heikin:”uh.. I feel like this place would perfectly fit the vibe i need for the next coming days.. plus there’s no one at home for me too as of now”
Egao:”Sure . Thanks for shouting like that, you’re the first human i’ve talked to since that night, I’m Egao, nice to meet ya..”
Evening slowly approaches, while Egao works in his fields.. Heikin is lying under a tree, thinking about everything that’s happened these last days.. and how much he has learned from all of these experiences.. and falls asleep, a while later, he suddenly wakes up coz of a huge bang, he rushes towards the sound in half consciousness, and sees a huge ape on top of egao, egao is doing his best to survive but the ape is just too big, Heikin jumps in but he adds nothing to the scene as the ape is too powerful for both of them, just when Heikin starts punching the ape..
Heikin (in his thoughts): I don’t have 4 hours.. i don’t have 4 minutes, I barely have 4 seconds before this ape tears egao apart, I can’t stand here delivering average fist blows and hope for it to fall down, much less die.. This ape.. I will kill it.. with these fists…” He starts punching with all his might.. the ape seems to be a little effected.
Heikin:”DIE, DIE, DIE, I WILL KILL YOU
” The ape which was 2.5 times their size, Heikin punches it to the ground, unclear if its dead yet,
Egao: LETS RUN AWAY, QUICK HEIKIN
Heikin:Wait, you go on ahead, i have-
The ape gets up and his claws almost tear heikin apart, but Zenith teleports on top of the ape and kills it brutally with one kick to the ground, there’s blood everywhere but zenith is clean.
Zenith:“You almost died there, my guy..
“ Heikin: “ZENITSU GARFIELD!, thank god..”
Zenith:“Couldn’t have ruined it more..”
Egao:“Who is this?”
Heikin: “Its a long story, lets just say he’s an old geezer who hates logic
” Egao: “ehhh”
Zenith: “…..”
