Ryujin began to look around.

*nothing but darkness where is this*

he couldn't see anything and then he heard a voice

????“so you finally came to be the king.”

Ryujin “who are you and where is this?”

???? “ you don't need to know. I won't let you be the king that easily”

Ryujin felt a pain on is back. He decide to touch the pain. He only touch blood

Ryujin “if this is how you want it then come at me.”

???? “i doubt you can even see me. Your hearth is so dark even i have a hard time seeing in it.”

Ryujin stand on is feet and lift is sword to protect to guard against the incoming sword.

Ryujin “ what is this sword it's not my sword.”

he felt another pain ran through is left arm

Ryujin “ what do you want from me?”

he heard a voice behind him

???? “ i want you to die”

~slash~

more blood flow from his back.

That is when Ryujin turned around and slashed

he felt a resistance on his first strike.

???? “ so you decide to attack without knowing the situa...”

another two slash cut trhough him.

Ryujin “ if you don't talk and just attack me of course i will. who do you think i am?”

???? “ HAHAHA i wouldn't expect less from the original.”

after that Ryujin didn't feel any resistance from his slashing

???? “ you are quite good. Very well i will tell you the truth before killing you.”

Ryujin “ go on i am listening.”

???? “ first thing first. Pleased to make your acquaintance i am Rei miller.”

Ryujin “ you how do you know that name? No wait i understand. Earlier you said my hearth. But how? This is a game they shouldn't know my name. So i guess you are me?”

???? “ HAHAHA ha i wouldn't expect no less from me. But you are only partially correct. I am your dark side or the be exact something more dark than yourself as you are already quite dark in life. Not that i don't know your circumstance.”

Ryujin “ so they even know my past. The creator of this game are quite scary.”

???? “so you still think you are inside the game? This is your hearth. The reason why it is so dark is because you keep your dark though sealed. You never faced what happened. I have been with you since your birth.”

Ryujin “ nonsense. If you talk nonsense like that i am going to kill you.”

???? “ now now, let's not  be hasty to our dead. I am going to tell you why i want to kill YOU my friend. As i said before i have been with you since your birth always growing seeing you. At the beginning i respected you. You faced your situation with bravery. But after that incident you never even showed an once of love. Even your sister. She was precious to you. But you. What did you do? You created a false love on her. She was your sister but you used her to escape your trouble and even faked your love. You are not worthy of being the king of this body. And even less of having a life. You know that you don't love her like a man. How could you? You never even look at her eyes since that accident. You even made her dependent to you so you won't lose her!”

Ryujin “NONSENSE i will NEVER do that to her not ... to ...her.”

He began thinking

* did i only look at her? Remember. IT CAN'T BE TRUE. That time when we were young after THAT? No. Not even once. What the heck was i doing. Do i really love her? Did i really made her my puppet? How did i not realize this. I am worst than even my father. If it's like that even him who accepted the darkness is better than i. *

Ryujin “ what will you do once you have my body?”

Rei “ i will do what you should have done. I will tell to her “im am sorry Mia you should forget me”. Even if i am your dark side i lived with you. You where already dark to begin with so viewing your life like that i promised to myself that if i have the opportunity, i will do the thing better than you did. But i can't be with her you already made her suffer like that.”

* he is right a man like me is not even worth living. I hurt everyone dear to me not even able to save my mother. But it is really alright like that? *

~slash~

Rei “ that is why I WILL KILL YOU RIGHT THERE!”

~SLASH~

Ryujin if this was not agame is left arm would be gone by now.

* do i really want someone else take care of what i did wrong?*

~slash~

Blood was flowing from his chest.

* what can i do anyways i can't even see him. It was all my fault i should have assumed everything. I killed my father. I couldn't save my mother. I made Mia like a puppet. Why did i sealed theses thing? I sealed them to not get hurt but look at all the people i hurt. Am i really better than my father? *

~slash~

* NO! I can't just stand there i must do something anything*

Rei “ what's wrong? Cat got your tongue. You are just trash you have no right. I WILL do the thing you couldn't. I will save Mia from yourself. I will assume what you did.”

* even him can see what i did. I never even assumed the kill of my father. Even if i didn't love him it was still a murder. I understand now i should have accepted everything. My mother won't come back. And mia is not my puppet. I will repair what i did *

Ryujin “ you think i will let myself be killed like that.”

the room was becoming more and more white. It was still dark but he could still see.

In front of him was himself all in white with a white blade.

Rei “ i see you have accepted your wrong but you are still not worthy of being the king.”

the blade he had was red with disgusting black energy within it. It was more accurate to say a dark blade with chunk of red but if you looked close enough you could see that the dark energy was on top of the red trying to devour it.

Ryujin “ what is this disgusting blade?

Rei “ so you do find it disgusting. You shouldn't because this blade is yourself. This is what it become after year of being around all that dark energy. It is originally your soul but it became corrupted.”

Rei ran toward Ryujin. The two sword clashed. But Ryujin jumped back and made another swing. Seeing this Rei prepared himself to swing his how sword. When the sword of Ryujin touched him he slashed him.

Rei “ your soul is so dark you can't even cut me. What a pathetic man.”

Ryujin was cursing himself

* why did i have to be like this i was acting all my life manipulating everyone around to not get hurt. I made all these person be hurt. I acted all kind to make girl fall for me and made guy respect me but i never did anything for those i made fall for me. Even my sister. And i never looked at anyone in their eyes. I will beg them for pardon on my knee if i have to. But it doesn't change the fact that because of all i did my soul became like that. I will lose because of my own stupidity.*

he was becoming mad. Mad at himself for being trash. But he tried to overcome himself. Slowly but surely his sword was becoming more and more red.

The clash still continued. Rei was on full offensive.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

Rei “ i don't fear you. You can't even cut me. Even thought i couldn't not see you in your game you didn't change much. I know you better that yourself. You can't defeat me.”

Ryujin was blocking with all he had. His sword couldn't cut his enemy and he was near dead.

* why do i even fight. It's meaningless. It may be better to just let him take care of everything. *

Soul sword * when did i become this weak? What is the meaning of all the training i did all this time? What did i even train for? Was it for losing like this?*

Ryujin * what the heck are you saying? You ask why did i train myself all those years? *

memories of his mother surfaced

tears begun flowing from his eye

Ryujin * i trained for nothing, that is what i was training for!*

soul sword *i trained to protect my mother but now she is dead. But i still have my sister i can't die here for nothing *

Ryujin* shut up what do you even know about me!*

soul sword * i can't lose here. There must be a way *

Ryujin was still blocking. Every attack he made was evaded.

Ryujin * you are right. There must be a way. *

Ryujin was concentrating on his sword

Ryujin * he did say that it was because of the dark that i couldn't cut him *

he tried to control the black energy. It didn't move an inch

Ryujin* there must be a way *

he tried to put his ki in it. A red aura begun forming on the sword. The darkness was pushed to the top of the sword. But it was not destroyed.

He tried controlling his ki pushing the dark energy to one side. The sword was 1/3 red and 2/3 black.

Rei “ what a pathetic attempt even if you can cut me you won't be able to touch me.”

Ryujin “ yeah it true. If i was the same as before the game. You did say that you couldn't see me in the game right?”

Ryujin focused his ki and took the dark side of the sword with his left hand. He began pulling the dark concentrating his ki to tear the dark side apart. A pain like he never felt before began piercing him.

Ryujin “ ARGHHH i won't lose to you. “

the pain was so terrible he nearly fainted. Even so he persevered pulling with all his energy

~slash~

Rei “ you though i would let you do.”

Ryujin finally pullet the darkness and shaped it in a sword with his ki.

Just in time to block a second attack.

Ryujin “ no i was not. You are me. I knew you would attack me.”

Ryujin used his pure red sword and cut where the hearth of rei was. Rei jumped back and slashed the sword of Ryujin using the knockback he pointed his sword toward Ryujin dashing with extreme speed toward him. Barely parrying with the other sword he began slashing with his sword at extreme speed however Rei evaded half the strike and blocked the other half.

Rei “ even if you use two sword you are still the same. “

Ryujin “ that is what you think.”

Ryujin began attacking like a beserker slashing everywhere. Making a barrage of hit and began falling in a dept trance. It was the style he developed in his master training. Rei was overwhelming by the barrage of attack. At the beginning he blocked every slash but with the brute strength behind each hit he was slowly overwhelmed. He received a little cut here and there. Soon scratch were all over his body. He was only able to protect his vital spot. His life was slowly being reduced. With the three surprise hit from the beginning he was at 3/4 of his life. Ryujin was only at 1/10 of his but Rei was feeling overwhelmed.

Rei * i shouldn't have toyed with him in the beginning.*

cold sweat was running on him.

Rei* is this fear? Do i feel fear from myself?*

Rei tried to fight back. But all he could do was defending.

Rei *nonsense our skill should be the same. It is because of the fear that i feel? It feel like i can't even touch him.”

their skill are at the same level but his judgement was clouded by fear.

Rei * i can't let this good for nothing be the king.*

he was seeing their life every thing the other him did.

Rei* even me who is darkness find him disgusting.”

he was remembering the time when they came to the CRP. The other him was being friendly with everyone making friend, making everyone love him just to not get hurt. A single kid who ignored him. Rei was still traumatized from his mother dead. He approached the kid.

Rei “ hi there. My name is Rei. Do you want to be my friend?”

??? “ leave me alone you two face.”

the kid did nothing. He was reading a book and wanted to be all alone. After that Rei made him live hell. They were still ten years old. The little guy was still a kid.

Rei “ hey guy do you know him?”

???? “ who? Ha you are talking about sion?”

Rei “ thanks guy.”

* Sion you will regret this*

after that he began to make story about him other began to bully sion. Stealing his book. Group on him and beat him. Several thing happened but no one know why. Rei was like a little angel so no one did nothing. After a while sion was transferred to another school. The Dark Rei was disgusted by that but the worst was that Rei didn't know he had done something like that. He was only protecting himself.

It happened other times too but this was the worst.

Dark Rei* i won't let him do something like that again.”

Rei was overtaken by anger his fear was gone.

Spark was made every time the sword clashed. Each of them parried every hit. Each was of equal force.

Then Rei was overtaken by the darkness. He began to sped up. Ryujin had a hard time to just see him. Rei was moving so fast that only spark was left from the clash. Only able to defend Ryujin shouted

Ryujin “ phantom rain!”

Ryujin decided to take a hit to counter. At the exact moment he was it he began attacking. Rei was fast but not enough. The first hit was a lucky stun. It was a stun of 2 second. Not much but enough for six hit. At the sixth hit it was only a barrage of hit cutting straight at the life bar of Rei.

The last hit was aiming directly at the hearth of Rei. Ryujin was on a all out offensive and didn't see the last hit of Rei a suicidal attack. Rei died first and soon after a notification appeared.

You have died you cannot reconnect for 24h.
