Anonymous' POV:
As I was walking in this vast desert, a dense amount of killing intent was directed upon me. I used my Mystic Eyes' ability, Clairvoyance. But there was nothing to be found in that area. I used another Mystic Eyes ability.
[Mystic Eyes of Versatility: Infrared Vision]
The black halo on my iris emits a red nebula color. I can now see the heat signatures of my surroundings. And yet, there were no heat signatures of a person to be found anywhere. I also tried using Aura to sense its life force, but I wasn't able to sense anything. It was as if the wind itself was directing the killing intent. I tried to think carefully and then..... I activated a Unique Ability of my brain.
[Probability Precognition]
This ability enables me to predict 10 seconds of the future, although its ways of predicting the future are more complex than you think. To be specific, my brain simulates numerous possible outcomes. Every one of those outcomes will be given a probability to happen. After that, the possible outcomes will be gathered into one, creating the final result of the prediction.
In a mere millisecond, I was able to simulate 1,000 possible outcomes. At the same time, my mind was calculating the probability of each outcome. After the excessive amount of calculations, I was able to discern the most possible future.
And I saw..... My death. The prediction showed my head and limbs being severed one by one by the wind. The severed parts of my body flew away due to the strong force of the air. The wind blades cut me so swiftly that there was no sign of blood coming out. My chest and abdomen were perfectly cut open that it didn't damage my heart, intestines, or any delicate organs. What's odd, is that there was no trace of the enemy to be seen.
My ability seemed useless as it never helped me survive in this situation. It only showed me, my inevitable death. Although it's not actually inevitable, it is because there are 3 types of Future Predictions. The Root Prediction, Fate Prediction, and Future Guider. The Root Prediction helps you see some of the roots of the Time Tree, which has infinite roots. To make it short, the future can be changed depending on a person's choice. Fate Prediction, on the other hand, is very tricky. You can't escape it no matter what choices you make, the only way for you to change it is by using Anti-Fate Magic. And lastly, the Future Guider, which is the most unorthodox type of Future Prediction. It is because it doesn't predict the future, it helps you create it. Meaning if you desire something to happen, it will let you see the steps, actions, and procedures to achieve that future.
On the other hand, my Future Prediction is the former. Meaning I can still change this situation depending on the choice I make.
How? With the information that I have gathered. As we all know, we can't see him physically, and he has no heat signatures. We also know that in my prediction, he severed my limbs, but he didn't damage my internal organs. With all this information, I can conclude that he can use a Wind Type Concealment Magic. This Magic can perfectly conceal one's physical body and heat signatures. It is very good for morning and night assassinations. Although, the part where he didn't damage my internal organs, makes me wonder that he isn't human. I can make a hunch on what he is, but I'm not 100 percent sure. Let's see what he truly is.
I activated a Unique Ability of my Mystic Eyes.
[Heterochromia Mode]
This Unique Ability enables me to use two Abilities of my Mystic Eyes simultaneously. I proceeded to activate 2 Abilities of my Mystic Eyes.
[Mystic Eyes of Versatility: Mana Vision]
[Mystic Eyes of Versatility: Accelerated Perception]
In a split of a millisecond, the black halo on my iris was sucked by my pupils. As it came out and gone back to its original position, both my iris glowed in different colors. The color of my right iris became a blue nebula color while my left iris became a silver nebula color. Both the effects of the ability were activated. And I can now see the pure mana and impure mana in the atmosphere, while also perceiving the world in slow motion(attoseconds). By changing the rotation of the black halo in the middle of my iris to either clockwise or counterclockwise. I can adjust the time magnitude of my perception from seconds to attoseconds without disabling my Accelerated Perception ability.
And there, I was able to see a figure. But I wasn't able to discern what he is, because I was only able to see his crude mana(miasma) that was engulfing his body. He was also gathering Impure Mana to create an Empty Circle and was about to cast Magic.
I adjusted my perception of the world back to seconds and the black halo on my iris constantly rotated clockwise. I gripped my two bone daggers tightly and utilized Aura.
[Weapon Augmentation]
A dark purple aura engulfed my bone daggers increasing its sharpness. I then proceeded to activate an Aura Skill.
[Aura Burst]
I focused it all on my feet. And as I dashed through the figure, a dark purple Aura burst through my foot propelling me to the figure.
The figure was able to notice my actions. And hurriedly disabled his casting and magic concealment. I disabled my Mana Vision making both my iris glowed in a silver nebula color. As I also readjusted my perception of the world back to attoseconds to see the figure, the black halo on my iris constantly rotated counterclockwise.
And there, I saw him. He had gray skin and black eyes engulfing even its sclera. His body was so malnourished that the bones can be seen through the skin. Its head had a symbol of a pentagram and its long tongue was hanging from its mouth, drooling. His huge hands and long claws were engulfed by a dark red miasma. And this figure was...... A Ghoul.
I wasn't 100 percent sure, but I guessed it right. I almost didn't believe it, as it was able to use Assassin Type Magic. But because he left my vital organs unharmed in my prediction, I was able to guess it. Every Ghoul will desire fresh and unharmed organs.
Although he's a Ghoul, he's a bit too powerful. A normal Ghoul can only have high physical strength and a demonic body. To think he would also be able to use a Buff Magic like Wind Concealment. By the way, Wind Concealment's effects make its wielder's presence, heat signatures and physical body completely disappear. But it can't make the pure mana that it continuously consumes disappear.
I adjusted once again my perception of the world back to seconds. And as I proceeded to propel to the Ghoul, I gripped both my bone daggers and prepared to slash his neck.
Clang!!
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
The Ghoul was able to parry my attack with his huge right hand. He screamed with his distorted voice.
Raahhhhh!!!
He then engulfed his left hand with a dense dark red miasma and tried to strike me. But before he could do that I stepped on his face using it to jump away from him, creating distance.
The Ghoul kept on screaming and his legs were engulfed in a dark red miasma. After that, he proceeded to charge at me with incredible speed.
As I was simultaneously adjusting my perception from attoseconds to seconds back and forth. My silver nebula iris glowed and the rotation of the black halo was interchaning from clockwise to counterclockwise, vice versa. I was doing this to comprehend the speed of the Ghoul. I also used [Probability Precognition] to accurately anticipate his attacks. And then, I further added another ability.
[Adrenaline Burst]
This ability enables me to manipulate my adrenaline at the right time. An extreme increase in strength, speed, and reaction time goes to my body. And I was able to parry all the attacks of the Ghoul with enough strength.
The Ghoul's attacks were fast and powerful. And even though he is a Ghoul, he is pretty smart. Because he was attacking me in every direction, not letting me escape. Although I was able to defend every attack he did with the use of my Abilities. The only problem is, that the fight is turning into a battle of attrition.
But I wasn't just going to wait around and get myself killed. I made sure to find an opening and then... I kicked the sands on the ground and let them splash on the Ghoul's face. After that, I concentrated aura on my feet and used [Aura Burst]. I made sure to create a large distance from the Ghoul.
And then I took something from my pocket. It was the skin of the dead people from the burned-down village. It was shaped like a paper talisman and had blood writings on it that I put. In ancient times it is called Skin Talisman and was used by the tribes from the past. Because they didn't possess any mana and asked help from the Authority of Magic. I tossed four of this and as the Ghoul proceeded to rush after me, I chanted.
“O hear me the Authority of Magic! I am the descendant of the Father of Mana. Please bless me the promised heirloom of our first parents. Now heed my command, help me bind my adversaries to change my destiny.”
The Skin Talisman glowed. And as I activated it, the Ghoul was right in front of me and was preparing to pierce me with his long claws.
"Bloodcraft Tribal Magic [Savage Chains]”
The Skin Talismans purposely flew on the Ghoul's hands and feet. It then turned into crimson chains restricting its movements. I took advantage of this situation and immediately attacked him using my bone daggers. I further enhanced the bone daggers with the use of [Aura Burst]. Furthermore, I rained upon him a dozen of slashes from every part of his body. Blood was spraying everywhere as I kept on attacking him, but his limbs were very tough. I wasn't even able to cut off his neck. It is probably due to his Demonic Body or.... He's a Demonic Ascendant.
Raaaahh!!!!!!
The Ghoul screamed with its distorted voice. He then proceeded murmuring something. And he then shouted once again, as if begging.
“Pleaaaseeee Hellllllp—Meeeee!!!! “
After saying those words, I felt something bad. But I still continued slashing him because I was close to cutting off his head. Then, the pentagram symbol on the Ghoul's head glowed intensely. After a few seconds, dark red flames burst through the Ghoul's whole body. The chains that was restricting its movements were completely broken and the bone daggers that I used, melted like butter. I immediately jumped away from the Ghoul and thought to myself.
'Crap! I just had to fight a Demonic Ascendant in this situation. And to. make matter worst, it's supported by a Pandemonium God. '
The Ghoul looks like it's being burned alive by the dark red flames. But it is actually being blessed by the Pandemonium God's Buff Magic called Feast. This Magic massively increases all the Ghoul's parameters while simultaneously giving it immunity to all forms of debuffs. Although the magic also has a detriment, it slowly kills the Ghoul and gives it an abnormal sense of hunger.
The Ghoul's body spasmed abnormally due to hunger. And he rashly looked everywhere for something to eat. Then, he looked at me and made a very delighted face. He made a stance to create momentum. As he was about to dash at me, I finished my chanting and threw 100 Skin Talismans. This Skin Talismans were different as it was written by Mana Essence and not blood.
"Heavencraft Holy Magic [One Hundred Holy Barriers]”
One hundred golden domes covered me, but the Ghoul still proceeded to attack. Due to the increase in the Ghoul's parameters, he was able to break through the Sound Barrier, easily breaking five Holy Barriers in the process.
As he was breaking the Holy Barriers with his speed, I manifested an Aura Weapon. It was made of dark purple aura, the weapon was a nodachi called the “Monohoshizao”.
I calmly closed my eyes and inhaled a large amount of air. I then exhaled and activated a Unique Ability of my Modified Body.
[Proto-Mimicry: Sasaki Kojiro]
After activating the Unique Ability, I opened my eyes. I activated [Accelerated Perception] and as my silver nebula iris glowed, the black halo in the middle of my iris constantly rotated counterclockwise. I then perceived the world in attoseconds and saw the Ghoul's burning claws 5 inches away from my head. Furthermore, I then thought to myself.
'It's all or nothing. '
And then, I proceeded to chant something in my mind.
'Reach INFINITY to create a Singularity. '
After a few seconds......... I died.

Extra:
Chibi N's POV:
Making a very dissatisfied face, I ragely said.
“Hey author!! What the fuck!! Why am I not in the main story?! Do you even know what I did on Chapter 2?!"
I immediately took my new phone out and searched Royal R*ad on Goggles. I pointed the 60 plus views and ragely said.
“It fucking hit 60 plus views!! How about you just kill off the Protagonist permanently and make a novel out of me?! How about that? Pretty good deal, right?”
The author was just completely quiet. I then jokingly said.
“Seriously? No? Well..... Your loss.”
I then looked at the readers and shouted.
“And you guys!! You read Chapter 2 for the nuke codes, didn't you!?”
As I head shake in disappointment, I said.
“I'm so disappointed...... Yet proud at the same time. But seriously, be a freaking decent person and read Chapter 1 first and then Chapter 2!! You know how hard it is to act funny and act cool at the same time and you only get 39 views?! So use your IQ efficiently and read Chapter 1 first then Chapter 2. Also, you can just freaking skip Chapter 0 cause damn it!! Who cares about magic mechanics!!”
I then changed the topic of the conversation.
“Ok let's talk about the good stuff.... So I watched Redo *f a Healer Episode 1 and 2. And it was still meh for me. Episode 3 is where the good stuffs happened my boys!!”
As I reminiscent the Chapters, I lewdly said.
"Ah.... Setsuna-chan you were so delicious. Demi-humans are just so different I tell you, they don't need oversized tits just to standout."
And then I snapped out from my lewd reminiscence and talked about manga recommendations.
"Ok you damned weeblets! Let's talk about some decent mangas. The Eminence in Shad*w is one of the best mangas I read so far. Imagine creating the Illuminati without actually knowing you created Illuminati. It also feels like One Punchm*n but the protagonist just have a high dose of 8th grade syndrome. But overall it's fucking decent so go read it right now. "
And I added a not so important information.
"Also the Author is pretty fucked up right now. He just asked me how to solve overpopulation. And I'm like 'Just convert everyone into weebs and hook them all up to 2D characters. But don't blame me if the birth rate drops. ' Also, you can just send the answer to your teacher meme style. "
What the meme looked like in my mind:
The World is Overpopulated:
*insert picture* People going into chaos
Weebs saving the World:
*Insert picture* Fat guy making out with his anime body pillow.
I whispered to the readers.
"If you have enough time, please make this meme and send it to me. Arigato guzaimuch for those who do it. (づ￣ ³￣)づ"
