"AAAHHHHHHH–! M-MA' ASSSSSSSS–!"

—In front of my bloody shrieking roommate who was being entered by a disgusting pillar-size human-centipede monster up his ass, most likely converting him to be one its part, as another kid among the hundred somewhat familiar faces already on it.

Well, that's disturbing.

I just got here, who the fuck starts like that?

It's a good thing I instinctively put up an impenetrable barrier around me that protects me from the thousand tentacles heading for my ass(literally) belonging to another abomination behind me, possibly the eldritch kind.

I've long rendered all metaphysical attacks futile on me which only now proves itself as I'm not at all bothered by the presence of the hundred Eldritch Things all around me even though I once shit my pants by just having a glimpse of their paintings before, only disgusted to the point of freezing Time for a break and mentally dispelling the thought of puking a rainbow.

So, what the actual fuck's happening here? Asking Ms. Reality about it as she filled me in, it seems like the situation I'm most dreadful of all these years I've been livin' here has come — a high-level Gate opened inside the island city, the people's power could do nothing, and the barrier that protects it from external threat was no used and now acts against the very people it was designed to protect.

I steeled my stomach and gaze around at this moment which I froze in Time, at the abomination entering my roommate and the other monsters who are fucking all the holes they could fuck on my hairy roommate like mouth, ears, nose, and even the tip of his penis, possibly searching for 'life essence'.

And he's just one of the many others.

Diverting my gaze away in utter disgust, once again dispelling the thought of puking which I made now to be permanent otherwise, I would probably need to keep doing it as I gazed around at the broken structure of the burning orphanage, the view of all the children letting out a blood-chilling scream of torturous pain as their flesh slowly melts from the hell flames of monsters made out of fire with the same color and animated viscosity of its victim's blood.

I could endeavor to run in futility while desperately dodging the many appendages of the abominations…

But even if they have super speed or teleportation, the automatic function of the barrier now works against them, preventing anyone and anything from getting outside and inside. Perhaps it was also made as such so that the monsters from the Gate would not go outside and terrorize beyond the island.

Worst of all, the Gate hovering above replacing the sky of the island is an ominous Dark Red in color, signifying a high enough threat to expect the destruction of a thousand kingdoms — their sacrifices are all for naught.

It's a scene straight out of Hell.

This shit got dark real quick.

I forced myself to calm the fuck down as I steady my disturbed breathing with closed eyes. I already knew that such a scene would unfold in front of me at some point the very moment I knew what sort of fuck-up world I live in. But fuck, no matter how prepared you think yourself to be, when it came, it'll smack you in the balls like a trillion tons of proverbial brick...

The only difference is, unlike then...

I'm no longer powerless.

Otherwise, I would probably be one of the first ones to get entered in the ass and turn into a human centipede.

Man, this shit's fuck up...

Sigh...

I guess I should not let this be my nightmare.

Having seen enough of Hell to develop ten PTSD at once, I employed the 'little trick' I learned earlier, I reversed the unreversible, ignoring the highest form of Logic, and turned the proverbial hourglass of the most abstract form of Time that contains all within its play including the Mind's Narrative...

I watched how the horrors unfolded in reverse.

I watched as the human centipede and tentacle abominations fucking my roommate and the other unfortunate-ass kids slowly unfuck them, which looks like they were still fucking them with how many repetitions of the action the abominations have done if it was this slow so I speed it up a bit and the world blurred to my perception as I vaguely saw the tentacles fucking the roommate real fast and the human centipede exiting with great speed as its disgusting lobe fluids returned to its body.

Well, who was it that said that something that's been fucked cannot be unfuck? I suppose they're wrong after all.

The ashes of children gain their flesh in succession as their melted bones unmelted and their charred flesh uncharred, their organs once again function, skin returned as it was, and their hair or lack thereof returned on top of their head as they all return to life, their memories and awareness return from blankness, one by one being placed to the moment they were killed along with the abominations that killed them as the abominations unkilled all the children they've killed then return to whence they came from, undestroying the inanimate things like walls and internal structure of the orphanage, restoring the same way they were destroyed...

Eventually, after something like a live reversed video in a timelapse, I found myself in the wholly intact shared room, the roommate was by the window staring rather shooketh at the ominous crackling Dark Red vortex entirely replacing the sky above and dwarfing the mall-sized orphanage.

And to completely rid me of the nightmare without just erasing my memory of it or altering my personality to how I perceive things as that in itself is a messy topic entirely that involves the Law of Identity, I made it so that the whole thing 'actually happening' erased and made it so that the scene I just witnessed is nothing more than a vision of an impossible possibility as the emotion I connected to scene became Nothing as the scene itself was Nothing more than mere speculation to begin with...

I mean, what would you say if I asked you how would you feel if this and that happened to you and your family in a hypothetical scenario?

Perhaps a bit put off, but that's just about it isn't it? A lot different than witnessing it firsthand in actuality. Also, maybe I would have felt more if I actually knew them. Fortunately for me, I'm an outcast and a grandmaster in the art of solitude so it may very well be the same as watching a horror movie in Full-Dive VR. I think there is an irony there somewhere.

With that, I also made it so that I wouldn't exist in two places at once hence again ignoring poor Ms. Logic and how that would pan out. Logically speaking, I should be in my 'private dimension' right now, but I'm here.

But no longer caring for logic — I resumed Time.

To the perception of the roommate, I should have always been here even if I'm not, so it's all in the mind I suppose. So standing on the other side of the window, I gaze above at the ominous sky vortex while eating a high quality 'inexistent to others' chocolate bar to make my monké brain once again happy with ample release of make-happy chemicals in the brain because of it.

The Gate hummed like a black hole and crackled like solar prominence as it chaotically spun around in no particular rotary direction, looking incredibly dangerous as if the end of the world was contained within and ready to pounce at the little island below it.

Of course, maybe I could just have erased it completely, but I think this would be a great opportunity to do some 'gouging' on the strength of 'real-world' problems like them so I could see just how apt I really am to face this very 'safe and peaceful' world of ours...

With that in mind, I made it so that I would seem I was still there in the room to the perception of others then erased and repainted myself in reality as I appeared floating above the skies in front of the Gate, now wearing a robe that fully clad and hide my identity, made out of a special not-harmful-to-Elexys abyssal material as it sucks all things that it touches at my will and turns them into Nothing.

Then to pair, I created two cool-looking abyssal swords with dark flaming looks made out of the same abyssal material with the same property which eviscerates everything that is not me and turns them into Null. I lifted the swords with great ease after giving myself the ability to instantaneously have absolute mastery with anything I consider a weapon...

Mn, like how I thought it would feel in my hands.

I didn't need to give myself strength so I could wear or lift materials made out of something like a Black Hole times a trillion, I could just directly make it so that they were light and perfectly made for me even with their properties. Nor do I need to give myself great strength now, I could be as strong as I want at any moment I think of it anyway. But to efficiently do that...

I made it so that I can think infinitely faster than infinity at will.

Having done my preparation, under the gaze of the hundreds of thousands of trepidating spectators, I directed my open palm at the Gate, and with great ferocity I closed it to a fist...

*SWOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

A wave of intense energy swept over the land. It probably had enough energy to dry all of New Earth's ocean and turn a continent to dust. So I suppose it's a good thing I made it intangible. And most importantly, with that—

*KIKIKIKIKIKIKIKI* *ISHISHSIHSH* *HMNHHHHHGG*

All the abominations within were released and now crowds over the island — Billions of them.

Well then, shit, there's more of them than I thought.

Though I guess it doesn't really matter when I'm the only one they could see, and I'm the only one that could see and touch them.

So I also turned myself invisible to others as they saw me disappear after that 'wave of bright light and the disappearance of the Gate'.

And so...

Let the Invisible War begin~!
