Chapter 2: Atomic Manipulation
—On the road, full of light pillars are standing, lightening the way for three students that have just left school. Feeling free and budging, everyone was having it consecutively. Days by days pass and the road has been greener and greener, the road is flattened, and the stage beside the road leads down to another big poem ground, having children and their parents joking around, making the scenery seem the right place for joy only, theme. Kites flew in the sky, and the children played soccer noisily there, which Kinter, Fevis, and Pew saw. They felt gifted and grateful for this brilliant road, given to their journey, “way of home”. The school is directly opposite their houses, and looking from afar allows them to see the windows of the classrooms, light or darkness is independent for each. When school events happen, you can hear the congestion, the crowd makes itself special, becoming a center of attention in an almost rural area.
Heading back to myself…
I am thinking about the incident. The figure said it chose me to be the person it needed for a great event, foreshadowing. I forced myself not to think because the doctor said I should think less, but now I did again. I want to litter myself for that, wanting to get rid of the ongoing thoughts grappling in my mind so much.
I distracted myself and listened to the environment speaking itself. Voices sneak in my ears simultaneously as soon as I open my head for it to come. Birds chirped, people talked and greeted others, and a handful of sounds disturbed my thoughts efficiently, leaving me a hard time adjusting despite having two long years of training. It reduced the effect when I was in a place full of vibrant procedures.
“I still see our houses in front of the school, which is kinda gothic to look at from ours to school at night,” Fevis said.
“Do you want me to tell a ghost story?” Pew glanced and met his profession.
“Go ahead, Pew. I will not be scared if you publicly read it to us.” I mentioned
“Are you sure? I hope to not hear you cannot take it ever from you.” Pew sliced back, reasonable and logical of the means.
“Can you start it?” Fevis impatiently said
“Once upon a time, A new merchandise was transferred by an old man, seventy-three years old, still working for his family which was still in poverty. He had a son and a daughter, they both share a similar appearance, slightly different because of the genders…”
“A twin?” Fevis exclaimed
“Yup, and they were growing up being the same height and interests, playing together in childhood to the point that they understood each other very well. The girl was a top-tier student at her school or probably the best in her town, having an intelligence quotient over one hundred eighty, considered a genius, she won many tournaments for the sake of their parents, gained a lot of money for them, becoming rich and privileged. The boy was a generally normal-looking student, he had no special achievements or a raw talent of something, he was ordinary, not as smart as his sister, but, he understood people and his surroundings, and was able to interact with things and others that well due to him having a high emotional quotient. He could control himself very well, however, he was sensitive, thinking everyone was talking about him, probably true but with a very low chance of it being true. With high emotional statistics, he could manipulate other people, making them do things for his desires. He spent a lot of time observing people, acknowledging more about humans, enabling him to understand “instinct”. Not forget to mention, he is considered lucky as well, not all of his manipulations were working sincerity, he always got over seemingly relevant phenomenons getting in the way, it was like rules were made for intruders, stating that this person was a ruler or an empire or something like that. Getting away so much, he continued living…”
“Umm, it looks like you are not telling a scary story, Pew.” Fevis stomped it out.
“Wait! This crucial introduction will explain the actions and progression later on, Fevis. Be patient,” Pew responded.
“This seems to touch my interest, the boy’s characteristics are strange. I have never met someone like that in real life.” I noted it.
“Keep going, Pew.” Fevis nodded
“The old man rented an accommodation for both individuals. The sister studied at Harvard University, living in a school dorm, despite having a scholarship but it was just for two years, he rented for the other two years for her, buying full features so she would not lack anything. All of the budget went to the sister. The boy lived with the old man, studying at a university not far from their houses. The university’s name is Penn University…”
“He is no ordinary person —he is a monster as well! Studying at Penn University is not normal at all.” Fevis spoke the truth; I cannot disagree.
“Yeah, and so on, the boy went missing. The old was anxious about his son, seeing where the boy could be going. Carrying a heavy bag and merchandise on him, he wondered everywhere he could find his son. One night, he was stepping into a formidable place, full of mist, he was stepping in because this was the last destination he could think of the boy going in. Having a paper with written words by the boy, the old man was in anguish, determined to find his son and punish him because of his bullshits. The old man went deep into the forest, he looked around for any sign that could be his son, the creepy sound and white mist were disturbing him, and his steps created cracking noises. A sudden big howl behind the old man appeared, then, he looked back. A person with dark veiling on his body was standing still, looking at the old man with malice. The dark figure was laughing with a head looking diagonally down, its eyes were completely black, and a bowl haircut. The body was well-balanced, and an ordinary person's image was shown in it. The old man was horrified, he ran as far as he could from the figure. After running for a while, he relieved himself that he had run far enough. A sound of someone coming, he got goosebumps, hoping it would not be that thing again. He was comforted, it was his son whom he was looking for, sighing, he scolded his son for putting him in a situation like this. Not using any curse words, he met his son, and that made him happier than ever.
“Dad I am the starter.” said the son
“What are you saying, son?” the old man asked in perplexity.
“The starter of everything, the black figure chose me.” the son responded
“Son…What are you talking about?”
The figure showed in front of the man, making him scared as…”
“Alright I have heard enough, I do not want to stay up all night again.” I stopped Pew from telling the story because I could imagine the figure’s appearance and how the jumpscare would scare the fuck out of me. I want to have a peaceful sleep at night. You could joke at me whatever you want, I do not care.
“Haha, you are still scared of ghost stories, Kinter. Whatever, let’s go home already.” Pew spoke
“The story was very ears-catching today. But it had too many details, especially the boy. He sounded like Kinter anyway.” Fevis spoke
Yup, it does, the boy in the story shared several traits with me as well. It was Pew who created this, did he want to joke about me?…or it was something elegant to fulfill the role of being in the “main character” position?
I thought…again, damn it? How can I debunk this habit of mine? The advice the doctor gave me was thrown in the garbage many times, just like water dropping on a potato’s leaf, “Nuoc do la khoai” a Vietnamese idiom.
Why did I think of Vietnamese idioms? Oh, I read some Vietnamese novels, I got this and put it in my dictionary. Vietnamese novels are great though, I mean, shit! I did it again. Thinking “Stop!” while I was disabling my mind simultaneously.
A voice raised, it was Pew.
“Guys, do you want to play games tonight? I got this new soul game. It is very excellent.”
“Yeah, I will hop on…”
“Kinter, do not forget that I am going to your house and we have to start to work on that project. It is due tomorrow.” Fevis said and made me feel bored as fuck.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, we need that to be done tonight…I will hop on when I am finished if I have much time left. Fevis decided to stay in my home tonight.”
“That was cool to hear I guess, you have a PS5, you should share it with him so he can play with it.”
“Yup.”
“Great! Now I have to go home for extra learning time with my professor.”
After he had finished his sentence, he started to face the direction which led to his house. His house is far from the two houses beside. Then, I and Fevis went to my house, which is a floor house, and does not contain any stages.
The door was two-sided. The house was painted in cyan. The darkness from the afternoon made it darker, and its original hue darkened, losing its freshness. The roof was painted gray, and the outer line got a whiter version of gray, making the house look like an ordinary house.
We emerged into the house, and a widening view of darkness ran all over the humongous dimension. Switching the lights on, an enormous room appeared in front of me and Fevis. This is my house, the inside looks more anticipated than the outside, this was what I called “Do not judge the book by its cover.”
“Your house looks very different from the inside, a person who does not know this place would be astonished when they go in here for the first time,” Fevis said
“I agree, Fevis” I flattered myself.
Being silent, I put my backpack in my room, my room took up a little space in the entire area. Meanwhile, Fevis took out an A2 rolling sheet in his bag, spreading out on the empty floor. After everything, I went to the refrigerator and took two bottles of fresh orange juice.
The project was about human evolution, we had to use pictures and explain the themes in detail. The description contained human relatives and how humans survived and hunted, pretty much it. I had a printer, convenient for printing pictures. At least, I had the printer or we would have to find a printing place.
Inner monologue: Interestingly, humans are the smartest species in all of the species. They used everything from its finest and built up an entire civilization. The whole world is immersed in modern technologies now, however, their nature is not progressing at all…
It was not my thoughts, I know. It was the “unknown” inside me, thinking all of this. My mind and its synced, therefore, I know what does it think? And this is the first it thought of something.
No, from what I have witnessed, it is not that basic. The “unknown” must have a superpower to hide its thoughts, meaning I cannot know everything it has thought of. Generally, it is one-sided.
“You really love humans topic, huh?”
“I am acknowledging you, humans. From what I gathered, human nature is just disgusting, far from what I expect of you filthy living things.”
The first time, I had a chat with the “unknown” inside me, it was giving polluted words, and blaspheming about humans. What did humans do to it anyway? I, myself knew it better than anyone else.
“I hope you are not one of the villainous characters, they are always the villains or antiheroes…”
But it could cooperate with its vessels if the relationship has been prolonged, opening a greater strength like some manga.
Do not worry, I am your partner, and you are me. I chose you, it is you who was created with me. I just gained the consciousness to speak up with you, Your Highness.
—
That would be great I thought, I was expecting an answer, but it seems it does not want to say back. Thus, I gave it a “yes”, meaning it is harmless and it will help me whenever I have difficulties.
Staring at the huge paper, I realized that I could get a high score for this. If we leave this alone and add no more words, it is still considered a high score no matter what.
“Hey Kinter, may I have more orange juices? Those taste great.” Fevis asked for more orange juices
“Sure, let me go take them.”
Standing up, I stretched my arms and legs after sitting for a straight hour. My muscles and fibers were relieved, and my bones cracked, leaving me jubilant. I sighed and went to the refrigerator, which was at the end of the long hallway of my house.
Stepping…stepping…and stepping…and stepping….
Stepping…stepping…and stepping…and stepping….
Stepping…stepping…and stepping…and stepping….
Stepping…stepping…and stepping…and stepping….
Stepping…stepping…and stepping…and stepping….
Stepping…stepping…and stepping…and stepping….
Step, step, and step…I heard the sound of my steps in bare feet, clear and loud. My hearing sense was always spectacularly amazing.
The sound of the concrete floor kept playing in my head, and I felt like I had narcolepsy. Tired, I walked endlessly without reaching my destination. Then I realized…I was caught in a loop.
“Fevis!” I quickly went to tell him about the paranormal
“What is up, Kinter?” Fevis responded, getting up from his seat, and went to stand behind me.
“So, this is a real loop…”
I was constantly walking, and I should have stayed far away from my original spot. Fevis’s speeches were clear and close, making me suspicious. He stood behind me for a minimum of time, just confirming the fact.

“What in the real world is happening?...” Fevis asked in perplexity
“I cannot go to the kitchen room because I was in a lo…”
“Bullshit! This cannot be real, I will go to prove you wrong and you were just playing around I swear.”
Not believing in me, he was going for the approval. From walking and walking to running and running, his feet were tirelessly walked because of willpower. Sweat fell from his head to his neck, his eyes were keen and sharp like eagle’s eyes. He was bewildered, untrusted to the circumstance that got them like this.
He turned back to me. His facial expression told me that he had given up. He admitted to the conference.
“What is going on?” Fevis asked tremendously
“What is going on?”; I wanted to know what was happening, too, not only you, Fevis. I was assured that a complicated inference was just about to happen; A superpower and mythology were what I was thinking of, it mentioned that I am…witnessing the unapproachable mysteries.
The world is full of mysteries, I am in your body, also, considered a discovery. Many voyages were set off to explore the beyond. It was always meant to be like that…
It was thinking and leaking, wanting me to say something to it. But, I ignored it and stayed silent because of the upcoming face-to-face.
Cling!
A katana was thrown to the ground, mesmerizing us. It has a beautiful color, the sharp blade is painted purple, shiny, and smooth. You can see your reflection from the katana’s blade, also, it gives a feeling of vigorous. Someone powerful owning this katana was attacking us. I felt like the guy must be a strong character nonetheless…
“What is up, fellas?” A man covering his face with a hood said.
“Who are you?” was my response, asking for information from stronger players, also, it is my habit, a good habit of making friends and improving playmaking in soccer. I did not care, even though, I knew he was a man out of this world’s common sense, a fantasy.
“You do not need to know who I am, because…”
“Finish your last sentence, you intruder.”
“Affable responding as always, huh? You are going to live another life anyway.”
“What?!” I asked in anger because of getting mocked by the hood man.
“I will kill you, Kinter.” the man in the hood spoke calmly about his intention.
“...”
This was the first time I got threatened to be killed by a stranger in real life. It was scary as hell, you would be the same though if you got told like that. The Ordinary would be shitting themselves.
Falling to the ground, kneeling on his feet, looking good. He held the katana, then, he raised his head to look at us. I saw a slight dim on his face, it was very familiar, feeling I had met this man before.
Posing a posture, his appearance was like an archer, looking like he was going to shoot an arrow at us, alternatively, he was holding the katana for the arching hand. The left hand was pointing toward us, going for a thrust. He impaled his eyes on our humanly weak spot. It was our chest.
“I would love to see how your body reacted to the enormous magical energy the stone was given to you.”
“What…a stone…magical energy? What are you talking about?” Fevis, who was staying silent continuously, utterly spoke.
“You do not need to know, normie. I will finish you right after I take my prey down.”
“Huh? Prey? So, what you were saying to Kinter that you are going to kill him…You must be a thief!” Showing Fevis was just naive and did not read fantasies and light novels from Japanese.
His mind was just as logical as a normal human being's, which meant he was still thinking like many normal people. Everything was happening due to a thing I called “mystery” or…you already knew what I meant.
No other words were said, the stranger, already said his target, and escalated at an incredible speed, maliciously without mercy, against me. The thrust of a blade, sharper than anything, was aiming at my heart.
Whoosh
I dodged the attack in an instant, I was grinning and asking how I survived the attack. Fevis behind me was confused, his face was freezing, very funny. However, the situation was serious, there was no time to laugh. There must be something to balance, to balance, it must be! Or the fairness of a fantasy would be corrupted…
“I still do not figure out what were you thinking, Kinter. It looked like you are just addicted to light novels and fantasies stuff,” speaking the truth, I had no opposing opinions to the speech.
Ah! This must be it. The figure inside me! Yeah, it must be the missing puzzle!
“Do not think, be relaxed as much as possible.”
“Are you trying to save me? Do you think the option you suggested to me will…”
“Just do the damn thing! You will not die.”
“...”
Getting scolded, I did the work. I was doing what the figure inside me said.
Being nonchalant, I was dodging many attacks from the killer. He was fascinated.
“Oh, so you are chosen by the figure, huh? I wondered if it picked the right empire.”
“Empire?” muttered, I found a new keyword…
“Do not listen to him, he was trying to catch you off guard by making you unable to think. He knew my strategy, intelligent of him. Interesting! You damn humans.”
…
…
…
“Kinter, what are you…”
“Haha, this must be you, you figure.”
“...”
“Great! Show me what you got, I want to know more about you, a discovery, and a potential threat to humans. I must convey the rumor for these days about Zalek.”
Fevis's point of view and mind
What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on? What is going on?
I do not know what is happening right now, I have lost my logical senses. What is this? This cannot be happening, fantasy? Paranormal? Or a mixture of both. Am I dreaming or something? The world must be normal…No,
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no, no!
Am I freezing? yes! Am I confusing? Yes! Will I possibly arrange my mindset? Probably not.
Superpower and abilities are human’s rich imagination. They are only for entertainment and looks, and would not happen in any way. Simulation theory…This could explain but did not provide these unbalanced phenomena I guess.
Kinter is fighting against a person who wants to take Kinter’s life and mine. A fighter? His movements were an embodiment of a warrior, probably a yes. Kinter is dodging his attacks, meaning Kinter possessed it, too?
While I have none, telling me this is nonsense. It is like reading an invisible text. happening right there but do not give a fuck! This represents it.
I am witnessing a fight, a fight from any fictional action book that could build up details like this…
Thus, my role is to be a witness. Sitting in the corner like an innocent who was saved by a superhuman watching the fight of a savior or a vigilante, ahh! What the heck? I am thinking…what?
In other words, my role is just sitting there and doing nothing…

“Countless attacks are vulnerable to you I guess. I must have underestimated you,”
“...”
“I will kill you with this last attack.”
A direct horizontal strike landed on Kinter, Kinter (Figure’s possession) flexibly dodged his attack by arching its back nearly at a right angle.
“I got you!” Giving a straight thrust to the vessel, leaving it no time to recover.
Ching!
“Huh? How did you recover and parry? When did you even create a sword?” Asked by the man in the hood, in a state of confusion.
The figure got up having a sword in its hand like it was supposed to be there in the first place. It was parrying the direct thrust from the man, The very thin blade edge made an extraordinary impact with the sharp point of the man’s blade, a very very sweet contact. It would fascinate any fighters with swordsmanship, asking how it was done.
The man in the hood was thinking in a flash, analyzing how it was done. He was trying to understand the figure’s ability because he had never met any ability that could create a blade in an instant without any magical effect. He was thinking of a legendary ability, which is impossible to have. He was trying to acquire it in his life, and the discovery was deeply disappointing, it could not be found nor ancestry be found. Until a place named Zalek appeared on the television, he sensed this must be where he had to depart.
He was the first one to step on Zalek, to be honest. He was the first person to find the enormous pile of stones covered upon each other. He displaced himself inside, but, the thing he wanted was not in its position. “It was gone?”. Quickly analyzing, he claimed it must have its mind and intelligence. It had to be somewhere in this world, claiming the artifact must have an ability called teleportation, He knew he must be patient.
He gave himself more time to travel around, he also found a statue that quickly changes to look like the person’s appearance. He read those symbols and those words written on the small board. A conclusion was given in his mind. The artifact must have the legendary ability! He noted it and named the ancestry ability.
It was…
“Atomic manipulation!”
Atomic manipulation allows the user to manipulate atoms and create something from the particles. It can be used to create different elements from the periodic table, which can then be used to create natural, real-life items. Atomic manipulation also has other curing abilities, such as removing dead cells and renewing them, making the owner never get old.
I felt vibrations before his parry, so he was gathering the atoms to create a sword. Atoms are the basic units of life; they are so small that you cannot see them. This is the explanation. I want that ability!
“Ughh..”
With a direct kick to the skull, the man was flying quickly, making an immense impact with a wall. A big sound of cracks from the wall fell into the man, white dust covered him in white.
He was lying there as it was his entire life to find the legendary ability that was owned by a dark figure. However, he felt desperate because he felt excited and saw the difference in strength. He laughed and laughed; thought about his wife.
A beautiful image of a young lady popped up in the man’s mind. She was adorable, gorgeous, and had a beautiful smile. As always, he would travel anywhere with her, her vibe and energy made the atmosphere exquisite, fun, and enjoyable. He cannot live without her, his life is generally garbaged-like, and he gets bullied and called weird because of his personality. He loves to swing his sword over and over again, in school, he would bring a wooden sword, and in break time, he would take out his sword to swing constantly.
At first, he was supported by those around him, they would join him in practice, and they thought it was cool to be a man who could hold a sword. But as time goes on, the boy gradually gets better, his peers cannot challenge him in a solo competition. Then, he would have a solo duo competition, a solo tertiary competition, and…
“Stop! you are a monster, I knew it in the first place. Can’t you have any other normal hobbies just like us?”
“Leave him be. I do not want to play with him anymore, I would get hurt every day because of this.”
“Guys, let’s not participate in his activity anymore, we should go play soccer and leave him alone.”
“Yeah.”
“Sounds great..”
He was not getting supported anymore, he became socially awkward because of not having friends. He only has a sword in his hand, swinging and swinging, recklessly. He thought he had submerged himself into a dark background of being ignored…
The cute girl appeared up, she started to spend time with the boy. Realizing the outcome, he thought she would leave at the end like his old friends. On the opposite, the boy was astonished and happy with the girl’s engagement.
“What did she find something interesting in me? Why did she enjoy this activity so much?”
Constant thoughts got him nowhere, he realized. He had to find the girl’s intention.
“Why did you want to play with me? I am bizarre I knew it.”
“No, I do not think you are. I have been stalking you since you got into this school. Everyone talks about how weird it is to bring a sword and swing, saying that it is dangerous and what are you training for. But, I saw a deep passion for the things you love. I just want to be friends with you.”
“No, you would be left out by your friends, I understand this clearly because I have already…”
“I will endure all”
“Huh?”
“I will be your friend recklessly, I will be your friend so you will not hate yourself anymore. I will bring you out of the fog, bringing you everywhere such as malls, movie theaters, and more. I want you to live as a high school student to its finest.”
“Why? Why are you so sticking into this?”
“Because…I am compassionate for people like you.”
“...”
“Everybody has their weirdo side and bright side. If this hobby is your bright side then just be it. A true friend will never leave the person because of their flaws, they will stay there to help you overcome them. My friends are like that, they are not going to unfriend someone just because they have not found who you are.”
“So?”
“Come with me.”
He gave his hand to her, confirming he had fallen for her. After a long time, they became lovers. They graduated from high school successfully. The boy became a doctor, working in a medical clinic at school, secretly an assassin with impeccable swordsmanship. The girl became an accountant, working in a bank. They progressed to marry each other, having a daughter and a son. It all sounds very jubilant and flawless of a happy ending.
That fateful night, the house was attacked by dark figures. The girl cannot do anything to bear the supernatural occurrence due to her being a human with a normal human being’s logic. She was forcefully killed when the husband went home simultaneously. He was shocked, he used all his might to execute the figures. He got rolled over, the impact made him coughed in blood. He realized his strength was weak against them. However, they did not kill the man, instead, they laughed at the man and disappeared.
“You filthy bitches! Kill me already!”
He said and reached out to his wife’s corpse. Cold and slippery, his wife was slaughtered as well as his son and daughter. The corpses lay behind the wrecking table. A traumatic scene was what he called it, their eyes were opened as well as their mouth, and their necks got cut deep into their throat. Blood stains around them, making it more like a homicide.
He swore he would get revenge. He found everything he could about the dark figures, their original and species. He was seeking an enormous strength that could easily budge them. He found it, he finally found it, It can also bring dead people to life. What a festival it is!
But at what cost? This character in front of him is one of the advanced species. Unfortunately, it is a highly ranked figure, which means its strength is massive, greater than his.
“You piece of shit…”
The figure disguised in Kinter was approaching him, the left eye opened and the other closed. The left eye was showing positive and negative charges in the iris, representing electrons and protons of an atom, and had a hue of yellow color. Glowing beautifully, the eye was absorbing atoms, and felt it because of the vibrations.
“ahh..I cannot lose to you, I must seek revenge!”
A strong wind was blowing around the man, his hood was floating in every direction, showing the face of a middle-aged man with black hair. he was…the doctor in that medical clinic.
Shaking the dimension continuously, a green effect represents the wind, flowing into the man, meaning the man was gathering his power from the environment.
“Hehe, I also created a small copy of the entire atomic manipulation ability. I will use this to beat you!”
“...”
“Stay silent as long as you can.”
After getting all of the possible energy from the environment, he started to read his ceremonial words, and a magic circle appeared below him.
“Dear god, the one I believe in. praying for an execution to erase my pathetic side. A pleasure to claim such a miracle…”
“Eclipse forbidden form: Half circle with void.”
The man after the transformation has a half circle covering the left side of his face, edging out from the top was an arching blade. He wore a red-yellow armor, embroidered with mythical words. He has two swords, one is tiny while the other is gigantic, just like the sun and moon. The sun is taking the lead since it is bigger than the moon. The man’s power is based on the moon, the weaker, is also, considered agile and quick-witted.
“My power is praying. I will pray to god, so he will lend me strength to defeat you.”
Ending his speech, he jumped with spectacular force; the ground pierced with broken lines. He was striving toward the man he must defeat to gain his valuable power—the atomic manipulation ability.
I should call someone for help, should I open the door to attract attention? No, the fight caused a lot of noisy sounds. The neighbors must have heard it and…should have said it out.
But the continuous events occurred without anyone’s knowing, which meant I and these people were trapped in another dimension!
Boom!
“...?”
“Kinter” was flying at a supersonic speed to the two-sided door, he quickly gained his momentum, and then, he branched his sword onto the ground, an object to get him standing up. The floor slid hard, it created smoke. Feeling hot under its bare feet, it started to speak the first few words.
“Such ordinary…I was disappointed.”
“Shut up! You are not in a position to speak up to me right now. You are weaker than me, you will be counted as an honored figure that I was the first to defeat. I will acquire your fundamentals.”
“No, you are just a mere human similar to a stepping stone. You are not pure, your nature was not cleansed because of your hatred and the will to kill people without considering the reck!”
“Huh? So this is what you were seeking for? It sounded strange, very strange…”
“...”
“I love it! Someone finally matched my level of existence! This meant easier to handle, you would have the same mindset as me. Such fortunate!”
“What are you bitching around? Do not put in your accountant with your mindless theories!”
A wonderful amount of vibrations caused the area to shake up and down in exaggeration. There were no color effects, no magical figures, just logical phenomena, based on nature!
“To make this matching square and fair, I will create some clones to pair with your current strength,”
Vibrations started again, and the organs and body parts started crafting in the air out of nowhere. It was built up until its accomplishment. The process was instant, twenty clones were invented.
“Interesting! Such an amazing ability. I would love to test myself out.”
Each clone held two katanas, they started to gather around the man.
“Come! Or all of you should go at once.”
The clones did not come at once, because, “Kinter” was feeling sorry for the man. Each came up and got brutally slashed, however, one of them left an incision on the man’s abdomen.
“...? This is nothing! Do not fucking underestimate me! Come all at once and I will finish all of you in one blow.”
The man got in the spider web trap. He had to fight against each clone with a seventy percent power division of the original. The original must have been lurking in the thirteen-left, the man realized this and he decided to pull out an all-area technique that washes the area around him, he did it recklessly.
“Aura’s second technique: Burst of radiation…”
Before he could unleash his technique, he saw “Kinter” standing in the middle because the clones had stood on two sides, letting him do a surprise. “Kinter” kicked the blade going straight to the face of the man, the man dodged in revelation.
As soon as he dodged, he felt the vibrations.
“What are you pulling…!”
He felt a presence pressuring behind him, out of the blue. He immediately tried to turn back as fast as possible while his mind guaranteed something.
“Teleportation technique!...Damn it…”
Too late, it was too late, the man was unable to parry or dodge in time. He insisted on a huge deadly horizontal cut, two swords combining, which made him fatal. His body fell to the ground along with his upper body; guts came out and flew due to gravitational force and other forces, causing them to fly undetermined.
“Just a stepping stone, you were doing a great job fulfilling the role. Compared to “Oblivion”, you are just a piece of sand under the sea.”
“...uh…uh.” The man barely said a word, he was utterly saying something but it was unclear and hard to hear.
The figure observed the man having a great desire to live. Thus, it started to claim the reward and decided to help the man out if it was available to the figure; where are its brothers?
It was in its mind because it wanted to clean til’ the root, it was its purpose in the first place.
The figure started to absorb the particles of the unliving corpse in front of it.
“I’ll use you well.”
The man had completely vanished, leaving no sign of him being there at all. The figure transferred its sight aiming at Fevis who was silent the whole time, scared and unbelieved.
“Lucky for you, if I lose, you would be done, too.”
Fevis did not say anything, he was agreeing to what it said. It was true that if it did not beat the man in the hood, he would not survive til’.

I woke up from an eternal-like dream, it was very unfathomable to me. I took a look around the dimensions, of my house. I felt reminiscent, something had happened here but I could not remember what was it.
In front of me, Fevis was sleeping on the other side of the paper; then he woke up and said.
“Did we just sleep? Oh! the project! We have to finish it by tomorrow or we will get a zero. Kinter! Why were we sleeping? We must have been doing homework since!”
“I…I do not know what happened Fevis, something’s very dream-core in my mind. I felt like I was fighting against someone.”
“Fighting someone? That sounded strange. I felt like I also was…”
“Feel like what?”
“Nothing, I was just yapping.”
“Anyway, I will go take some orange juices.”
“Great!”
I was staggering, my body felt exhausted somehow but my mind was working. In the end, I could not figure out what those faulty events were in my mind like an F1 race; it looked like I was the one doing all of them.
“Or…it was you?”
Knowing something, I Knew what to do next. I heard a beeping noise from one of the cars outside of my house simultaneously. Leaving behind the thoughts and quests, I went to take the orange juices.
“It looked like I had walked this path over and over again. Why am I feeling that way?”
Unknown like a brainwashing had happened.
