He was falling, deeper and deeper. It's dark, but the sensation of the air upon his ghost like body wakes him up into reality. One by one, his bones and full Skelton begun to structure itself together, while little by little, the muscles and skin begun to form around me. My body came back!

Landing in a barren landscape, he would begin to get up, his body aching from the situation prior. Taking a passing glance, I would notice a wooden charcoaled looking sign.

"Ok...the real problem is that I'm in a bad situation.....as the wholesome sign said, "Welcome to Hell". A little cliche if you ask me, but a.... WHAT?!? HELL!?!"

His voice echoed, looking around at the barren landscape in front of his eyes as his jaw dropped in horror, his senses going into a [fight or flight] stage.

"S-s-so this is h-hell? Huh?" He stuttered over his vocabulary, his body withering from it's own arrival. He would have regained his humanoid body during the time being, with his blood, bones and muscles being all there.

He would begin to hyperventilate, before he squeezed his hand tightly and picked up some sand on the ground. He would run his fingers across the gritty, soft sand before saying

"I- it's ok...I just got to understand what hell Is to begin make a living..first, what did onsei say again?" he would say as he begun to retrace his words. The words of "Mahāence" and "Kakaygins" struck his interest.

Standing up and looking at his body, it would seem he hasn't changed that much, besides his lack of clothing.

"My fucking dick and all are showing! What the hell!?! As if this so and so god can't even give me the decency of having clothes! This is ridiculous!!!"

He would yell, his temper raising by the minute before a sudden noise cut his voice off. A earthquake with the sounds of screaming would be heard. He would begin to fall and quickly looked over to where it was and raced through my thoughts, attempting to stand up.

{Come on Hotaka! Believe in Joshua and yourself! Hell,maybe if I can get out of hell, I can apologize and make amends to Josh in heaven!....that's my goal now. I gotta do it for my sake and his.} His mind thought. He would stand up and head begin his journey towards the sounds of death.

[Three minutes]

[Forty minutes]

[Three hours]

Three hours passed as he began his hike to the screams, my hands slightly sore from the mountain climb as my thumbs and index fingers were bleeding slightly. He wouldn't acknowledge the pain as my good willed nature kept me going. He would reach the peak of the small mountain side, as I finally caught a gloom of the horror he was about to see.

He instantly noticed the sky, it's light blue undertone with the clouds being of blood red..he thought he knew from what. Seeing the ground, he saw light green grass and hills and a small river filled with a dark red liquid. Oddly enough, from several miles away from the screams, he spotted a large village. It was composed of small wooden houses and shacks, with the top being made of needles of straw.

"That's where the screams are coming from!" He would remark, taking his steps down the mountain, each step feeling like it would collapse before, suddenly, it did. The ground would begin to give out, his body rushing down the mountain at high speeds, before he would trip and crash down the mountain at the speed of a moving car. His entire being would smash into boulders and small edges of the mountain, his body cracking and breaking from the fall before he reached the bottom.

While at the very low point of the mountain, his legs were completely split in half by its shins and his ribs were fractured into needle sized pieces. The outer reaches of his stomach was bleeding from internal injuries,which was extraordinary painful. But soon enough, not even three minutes later, his injuries begun to seemly fix itself back together. His legs and ribs injuries were being restored to its original form, as light blue Sparks appeared around the wounded area.

He would be surprised, and then mumbled "huh...my legs were restored from nothing after my tumble...that's impossible.... Could it be, the hellish atmosphere that's restoring me to full health?"

He questioned himself, staying to that conclusion for the sake of my mental state. He would pick himself up, and head towards the town.

[1 minute passes]

[An hour passes]

[An hour and 30 minutes passes]

he would soon begin to make it to the outskirts of the City, his legs in agonizing pain from the stride. A pile of dark clothes would catch his eyes as they shuddered in the slightest of breezes.

He would immediately snag them, and put them over himself. The clothing would consist of some dark underwear and red, shaggy pants that lurches down to his ankles. He would also find himself a Pancho that was greyish in color.

He would like the feel of it, the clothes were rather quick to move in, and gave off a small amount of strange Aura. The aura felt like a blood lusted aura coming from the clothes, as his body twitched from having it on.

"UWAH! what was that!?!"" His ears immediately perking up when he heard another scream. He would rush towards it, running pass several demolished buildings.

He would make it soon enough to the scenery, the aromatic air of blood mist surrounding the place was intoxicating. The feeling of kenopsia from the buildings would easily allowed him to judge where and what was causing the noise.

It was a giant overgrown lizard, the height of it being over 19 feet, and from its appearance, was reddish in color while covered in colorful rainbow like scales. The lizard would be covered in spikes while it's green eyes pierced whatever moved in it's presence. The lizard was covered in blood, while townspeople were surrounding the large reptile, while two children were underneath the large beast.

[ Kakaygins type- Reptile- Lizard of the depths. This kakaygin is a standard and one of the weakest of the inhabitants of hell. It has the "Balance" of "Analysis". Care to process the power into us?]

A voice spoke into his head, his head now pounding from the sudden shock and noise from it. He would look down at his clothes, blue Sparks appearing around it as it asked the question. He would huff heavily from the sudden shock before managing a small voice crack.

"OK! how do we do that?" He would ask, before immediately his body began to move on it's own. His body being controlled by the fabrics around his body, before he would take control of a nearby Gardening tool, a small scythe as his legs immediately bent and sent him into the air.

The impact from the launch broke both his legs easily, as he let out a yelp from the pain. The lizard, spotting him in the air would aim it's head at him before sending out it's large tongue at his head, intending to finish him off in one strike.

His body,reacting on its own, would handle the scythe with care before completely slicing the tongue into ribbons, causing a small gush of wind to break the windows in the surrounding area.

"KEYYYYHHHHH!!!" The lizard hissed,skittering back in confusion and pain.

Hotakas body, still under control would repair his legs and push the air around me as a large air current was under his feet, kicking him off.

He would immediately decapitate the lizard in one fell swoop,the head being tossed into a nearby building as blood gushed from the neck where he sliced it. He would land onto the ground before he begun to gain control of his body again.

The townspeople would stared at him with amazement and content as they Would roar with joyous cheers as they started to swarm him and look at his clothes upon his body.

"H- huh not to close please! I don't know what really is going on myself!" he announced, but in reality, he did like the attention. Not too long after, he heard loud footsteps approaching him, he would turn to see a rather small teenager with white, spiky hair and yellow eyes. He was wearing a black rugged shirt with greyish knightly armor on his lower half. He would come near where hotaka was, and immediately picked him up off the ground by his neck, and slammed him into a nearby wall.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU DID!?!" He declared, his eyes burning with anger and some content.

[Analysis Progress level 1: standard. Subject: Yomu Koto. Current title: Protector of village.] My mind mused, I wouldn't understand completely what was going on, before I understood what the clothes said. "Analysis", this must be that power. I would turn my attention back to Koto before uttering out a few words.

"I heard.... screaming! I came to help!"

"We didn't need your help you new runt! We had everything fine until you shown up! Now the damned imps will come cause of your disturbance!" He moaned, pacing back and forth as his hands held tightly on his hips before taking a glance over at hotakas Pancho.

Why are you wearing that?.... actually, where did you get..."That"?" Koto said, putting extreme quotations on the word "that".

"I got it right outside of town. I was naked when I came here so I took it. What's the matter?" Hotaka would respond as he stood up, being face to face with the boy.

"Give it to me." Koto would say, clearly having interest in this cloth as hotaka immediately refused his offer. Koto would then frown, and begin to threaten hotaka before he refused again.

Koto was clearly fuming from madnesses as he would come up with a proposal. "Ok...I got a game. We fight for it. If I win, you give me the clothes..."

Koto smirked, clearly cocky from his proposal, before hotaka thought it over. He would scratch his head in a thinking manner before immediately smiling at the wicked thought crossing his mind.

"Ok, that sounds fair...but if I win..you must be my faithful knight and teach me what you know!" Hotaka laughed, the look on koto's face clearly shocked from the sudden rebuttal. He would have a sweat drop from his cheek before clenching his fist and saying

"H-heh. Sounds interesting...fine, it's a deal. Let's get into a more comfortable battlefield." Koto would say, opening up his hand as a cubicle object spun in his hand. He would utter the words [Los Gato Ra Lunga].

As he pronounced theses words, the entire world around them would begin to spin wildly, before they would be teleported outside of the villages barrier.

The outside of the village was beautiful, with wild flowers covering acres of land beyond what could be seen. Koto would see me fixated on the flowers before he commented on them himself.

"Beautiful aren't they...to think such beauty could exist in such a horrid place..makes you think..." Koto spoke, his eyes dreaming into something more than theses flowers before he snapped back to reality.

"Ok...well enough bantering, let's get this going. Unleash your balance!" Koto would urge, as he lifted his hand into the air as he made this motion, a large demonic symbol would appear where his hand was, before it would spread across the sky itself. He would reach into the symbol, before pulling out a rather large katana.

The Katana was six feet in diameter and about six inches in length, the katanas blade was pure white that blended into his hair color, as the hilt of it was a dark red, with markings that were too confusing to read.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

He would point the blade at hotaka before saying "Come on, show me your balance!" He would mock, as hotaka stood there, stunned from the spectacle he just shown. I would weakly spit out the words.

"B-Balance? You mean like standing on one foot or?" Hotaka would say, koto clearly annoyed by my comment as he would begin to rant.

"A BALANCE! You know! Your inner knowledge! Your inner power! Don't tell me you don't even know what it is. Your balance is your very being, without a balance, your nothing more then dirt underneath the people with it!" Koto would bark.

Hotaka would flinch at kotos seriousness as he felt bad at not knowing what he was talking about. His clothes would suddenly clingy to me tighter, as he felt his body being punctured as he heard in his head

[Due to Zero inability to process own internal power, backup plan auto inject is in progress. Please hold still.]

His body felt like it was being injected with lava, his veins glowing orange as his pupils begun to dilate before his body twitched, and in a microsecond, the pain vanished.

Hotakas body felt heavy, yet light. His being feeling like it just bathed for the first time as he looked at his hand. The Pancho would stop glowing as it sat upon his shoulders as a standard piece of clothing.

Hotaka would look at Koto, as me to stared at hotaka ready to fight, hotaka's senses were more refined for a odd reason, as everything was more crystal clear. He could feel each individual grass blade under his feet and each dust particle hitting his skin. His eyes could see the very wind itself as he could listen in on the townspeople's whispers, which were miles away.

"HERE I COME!" koto declared, as he rushed at hotaka immensely fast, the very wind around him tunnelling as he swung at him with his blade, cleaving hotaka in half along with the ground below him.

But near instantly, his body would regenerate and repair itself as I would begin my counter attack.

Hotaka would watch Koto recoil and step back, before taking a another overheard slice at him.

With hotakas immense senses, he would see this blade now moving slowly, with the sword Seemly moving at 3 MPH. He would grab the sword, with the kinetic energy behind it completely becoming null.

Kotos eyes widened in Surprise from this before hotaka took the opportunity to raise his leg and kick his blade out of his hand.

Taking this time, he would kick him away as he flew a few kilometers away. Hotaka would look up at the blade.

The blade fluttered in the air like a dancing flower before hotaka jumped and grabbed it in mid air, the meer moment he grabbed it, he knew how to handle it.

Hotaka would land back down and pointed the blade at him as he snickered slightly. "Kuhuhu! I win! You don't have a weapon to defend yourself." He Jested, only to hear a faint laugh from Koto.

"Kahahaha! Well done! And here I thought you were a being without balance. But, i'll have to take this seriously now..I'm sorry. [Weapon Road!]

Koto stormed, as several Hundreds of weapons would begin to appear from nothing. Most of the weapons were blades, but some were the likes of maces, halberds, Spears, shields, guns etc.

Koto would raise his finger, as four Spears raised from the ground before he pointed at me.

The Spears immediately shot off, breaking the sound barrier as hotakas ears rung from the deafening noise. His eyes still opened, but watering from the pain from the noise, would look at the trajectory of the Spears, before he used the blade in his hand to attempt to Parry the Spears.

Once the Spears hit the blade, the blade would shake violently, before the spear exploded in shattered pieces. The shards impaled hotakas skin as he grunted in mere annoyance. Considering the fact he felt more painful injuries, this simply felt like being hit by a cactus.

"Huh, I thought that would be worst..turns out it's actually kinda weak-"

hotaka would attempt to mock, only to be met with the electric shock of one billion volts flowing though his body, his entire being shaking violently from the shock as his eyesight begun to go blurry.

"W-What!?! Was that?!" Hotaka would sputter out while laying on the ground, shaking. He would hear the footsteps of Koto approach him. He would attempt to get up, only for his hand to be stabbed into the ground by kotos spear.

Hotaka would scream in a agonizing manner, before Koto covered my mouth before I continued. He would then sneer at me, with a wicked smile across his face.

"[Enchantments]...with this, I can enchant any of my weapons or items by a inserting natural energy into it and changing the components.....you severely underestimated me." Koto would remark, as hotakas head pounded in anger.

{Like hell I would let this brat beat me, I can't give it to a little shock...so...just pound his offence away!!!} Hotaka would think, before clenching his left hand.

All the kinetic force he kept in it from a moment ago from the sword swings, he would supercharge it unconsciously, his body reacting on instinct as he slammed his fist into the Rocky round, causing a massive uproar that shook the nearby mountain range.

The shock from the punch would cause the spear through his hand to shatter, along with his hand that slammed into the ground. His left hand was bloodied and broken into pieces, but it was not regenerating.

Koto would be stunned,trying to keep his balance as he yelled "What the hell! There is no way a snot nosed kid like you has this much power!!!" He would yell, stabbing his third spear into the ground and held on until the shaking resided.

Koto would now stare at hotaka with chilling eyes, he would then open up another portal to pull out a giang 14 foot halberd that fell to the ground with dust clouds arising from it falling.

Koto laughed a bit before he picked up the halberd like it was a feather before pointing it at hotaka, he would then utter "Enchantment: Atomic Freezing weapon innovation!" He yelled out, as the entire halberd suddenly glew white, mist coming from the very weapon as he lifted it with one hand, ready for a final clash.

Hotaka would lift himself up, taking the blade he had in his hand and readied it. Blood spewing from my destroyed hand as be got into a unorthodox battle stance.

Before the flower petals could fall off the flowers, they rushed each other a final time, both battle ready warriors attempting to win the fight.

They could clash blades, the connection of both weapons causing the air to make a spherical dome around them, the oxygen around them going away due to the sphere shaped dome. The freezing aura of the halberd quickly freezing hotakas blade as he saw it spread.

Rearing back, hotaka would take one final swing, as it connected to the blade of the halberd, causing it to shatter in a icy Explosion.

Koto would cover his eyes from the blast, as without thinking, hotaka would rush koto with all his being, rearing back his right hand back, and clenching it before extending his hand forward, completely connecting hotakas fist into the face of Koto!

As he connected, the air around his fist finally caught up with it, as a wide swirling whirlwind of destructive wind would hit koto in the head, sending him several kiometers back and into the ground.

Hotaka would of broken his fist during that punch, looking at it to see it was flash frozen during the encounter.

"D- damn....he was a tough bastard...I hope he's ok...I need him for my quest." He would weakly mutter to himself, heavily walking over to him.

After walking a few moments towards him, hotama would catch a passing glance at his face. Blood was gushing from his forehead as he looked peaceful, looking at the blue sky and the red clouds before he busted into laugher.

This took him back, frightening hotaka from the sudden burst of joy as he muttered "A- Are you ok?" Hotaka asked, as he jumped back up onto his feet.

"Of course I am not! Your punch damn near killed me, but thank you for not doing so! Kehahahaha!" He howled in laughter, his demeanor much more lax and calm, before he spit up some blood. Hotaka would attempt to grab him to help, only to be stopped by his broken and frozen hand.

"Oh! Sorry pal, I should heal that for you...but before I do.. I got to know your name. I'm Yomu Koto, Knightly Guardian of Wine Gate, which is that town over there..and you are?" He would question hotaka, his eyes has lit up with more hope as he looked at him like he was some sort of angel.

"I'm... Hotaka Takahiro, a new arrival to hell it seems. It's nice to meet you." Hotaka would say, before energy suddenly rushed through him, his body feeling alot better as he didn't know what was happening. Hotaka would think back to where the Pancho done that whole analysis thing before he tried it myself.

[Analysis Level 1: basics- since it's uncommon to make friends in this hellish atmosphere, the bond of two in unison will both increase your physical and mental strength.]

"Huh, that's odd....how Koto, I need you to answer something for me." Hotaka would ask of him, as he sat down and begun to heal his arm with a enchantment of heal strength. Koto would look up to hotaka and nod his head, awaiting a response as he would soon queried him.

"What Is a balance?" Hotaka would ask, before koto looked up at him and chuckled, he would immediately reply

"Huhuhu! Your hilarious! Pretending not to know what a balance is!" He would mock as hotaka puffed up his cheeks in a angry Manner, turning bright red for not understanding what he meant. He would soon recognize hotaka was being serious before he huffed and replied

"A balance is your inner and outer being. It's the process of taking in your own Mental, physical and Spiritual being and making it into reality. A prime example is my Enchantments and my Weapon Road, to believe in your own power, you must first concentrate on what your gonna make. After knowing your full idea, use your physical body to attempt to create said idea. After that, give it your energy from your immortal soul, and done, you have a balance. This is elementary stuff for kids, I don't know why you don't understand it by now." He would rant, hotakas head would be spinning from the information.

Hotaka would stand up, and brush his hair back, as he felt his heart beating, he would realize what the idea koto was meaning. Hotaka was using it in his fight after all, but that's when he was unconscious and battle hungry due to this... Wardrobe.

Hotaka would feel the Pancho, and realized finally it was emitting natural energy, feeding off it and pushing it into him to allow hotaka to use the so called "balance" power. It did the same thing against the lizard, but it absorbed the lizards Special trait and sent it into hotaka forcefully.

Hotaka would scratch his head, before looking at Koto, who stood up with him as well. He would point to the Village, before smiling in delight at the new challenge ahead of him and declared to koto

"I'm gonna get out of this hellscape and help everyone here. It's a promise! But first, show me around!"
