Blank Canvas

"Solum, that is the name given to me by God upon recieving this curse. In exchange for power and immortality, I was given the task to travel to different worlds and protect its inhabitants. After my job is finished, I am then forced to awaken in another world. I could say its an entirely different timeline or reality. Making friends, finding love and looking for a family would be meaningless for i will be leaving them after I have finished my task. I have two choices, protect the world that I have arrived in or wait until a stronger force destroys it entirely, either way i will still awaken in another world. But as punishment for letting a world die, my body will suffer unbearable pain, it feels like my soul is being torn to shreds lasting the for 24 hours straight and I can not do anything about it. After a few awakenings, I made rules. Firstly, is to finish the job as early as possible. Secondly, I will see the world as an empty canvas observing only on what is important and those importantant things is the road that I am standing on, my current sleeping place and my enemy, nothing more and nothing less. Based on my observation, collateral damage was allowed as long as I save the certain world from destruction." Martin then closes his journal for he is finished writing for the day. He took a look around the house he is staying in and glanced at the mirror, he stood up and took a good look on himself. "I am looking more homeless everday" he stated to himself, grinning at the man in the mirror with red eyes and average skin tone, not so dark and so white either. He sighs and went to bed. "I wonder if it will arrive tommorrow" he uttered and then closed his eyes and fell asleep..

Morning came and Martin slowly opens his barnicle filled eyes and wipes it with his fingers yawning with mouth wide open. He sits on his bed and slowly puts his feet on the floor. "What" he said with a surprised look on his face for he stepped on something unusually soft and warm. Martin was stepping a little girl's abdomen. As surprised as he is, Martin stared at the girl a few more seconds and admired her white pale skin, pink colored lips and purple short hair. The girl is fast asleep on the floor and under a blanket wearing red sleeveles shirt and a matte green pants. The weird part is, her whole body from the neck down is covered with bandages only revealing her fingers and toes. The girl slowly opens her eyes and Martin removes his foot in a panic. "Goodmorning, Solum. I apologize, I didnt realize that I too must abide with human needs if I am using a human body." The girl said with her soft, small and cute voice. 'Ugh....... I.. Wha..." Martin tries to speak but apparently, he is lost. "Who is this? What does she mean human body? Is she the world ending being that i must defeat to move on? Is she the god that gave me this curse? That doesnt make sense but it could be, she could be", Martin whispers to himself and the girl suddenly interupted saying, " I am the Leviathan". Martin's eyes went wide as sweat drips down in his face trying to comprehend the situation as memories floods his mind. The girl just stares at him with a blank face and then Martin's usual, normal look returned, a look that ressembles nothingness without a single trace of emotion is found, he to looks at the girl blankly and said, "If you are my enemy today, I shall defeat you once again. Martin's body released strong winds that scattered all the furniture, winds that ressembled energy overflowing from his body as the little girl just continues to stare at him. "If she is really the same Leviathan I once fought before then I must take you on at full power" Martin thinks to himself. "Why am I hesitating?" He asked himself with an ounce of confusion in his face and then he just gave up. The air dispersed and the furnitures fell down on the floor. The girl just sits their with no expression at all. Before Martin can utter a single word, he heard an explosion outside his house. He smirked and went out. A road, his house and a big muscle bound human shooting violet flames at thin air. This is what Martin sees, this is how he sees the world. But in reality, Martin is surrounded by screaming citizens, burnt cars, dead bodies and destroyed buildings. Martin slowly walks towards the villain without realizing the people running towards him in panic, escaping the havoc. In Martin's perspective, the villain is alone. As he walks closer he notices the villain's appearance. He is huge, way taller than the average human being, covered with scale like armor and a tail. He has sharp claws. His appearance almost ressembles like a dragon that has taken the human form. Finally their eyes meet. The dragon man looked at Martin straight in the eyes and smiled

"You must be the hero". The dragon man stated with his deep flamboyant voice and then continue saying; "This is proof that humans are utter trash, I came from another realm not far from this one. Our mages has sensed a strong energy from the human world and even had the audacity to state that said power is greater than my own. Well dont worry, such foolish garbage did not live to see another day. The sole purpose of my visit is to prove my strength." Martin sighs and said; "uhm if given the oppurtunity, can you wipe out the entire human race?" The dragon man laughed discriminatinglt and said; "who do you think you are talking to? clearly you are not the one that I am looking for. You are strong i must admit but your energy is not what our mages have sensed." Martin looked surprised after hearing what he said and looked at his house beside him. The dragon continue to speak; if the person that I am looking for does not arrive, I will burn this earth to its core and I..." the dragon man suddenly stopped talking for Martin grabbed the dragon man by the jaw covering his mouth. Martin then said silently; "you talk too much, but thank you for telling me the things I needed to hear. The dragon man's eyes was filled with shock. Martin grins and spoke calmly; "goodbye" as he palm strikes the dragon man to the chest so hard that it sent the dragon man flying straight through a couple of buildings. Martin may not notice it but the people around him was neither relieved nor scared. Yes, they are happy that the Dragon man problem is gone but terrified at the sight of Martin holding the Dragon Man's lower jaw in his hand. Martin realized that the fight is over and he casually drops the Dragon Man's jaw like it was a candy wrapper and casually walks back inside his house. He may not look like it but Martin is confused for the little girl is nowhere to be found. Martin sits on his sofa and said to himself" For a long time I only chose to see myself, my house and my enemy and all that is important, nothing else. But.... why did i choose to see her?" As he pictures the girl's face in his mind. "Well ill find out soon enough whether she is an enemy or not" Martin looks worried just by thinking about it as he remembers the dragon man's words about the fact that the girl is stronger than Martin. " it could be someone else and not the girl. Im just making assumptions, I will find that enemy tommorrow and move on to the next world" Martin stated as he closes his eyes and fell asleep. The next day, Martin awoken with a surprised look on his face. He noticed that he is now living in another house. The interior of the house looks old school like the houses he saw in a history book once. Martin rushes to the nearest window and looks surpised. "So, that dragon man was the reason on why i was sent to that world" Martin uttered as he is staring at a city filled with people dressed as the ones in greek mythos. As Martin confirms that he is indeed in another world, everything went blank again in his eyes. Seeing only his house, the roads and his soon to be enemies.
