Checking the status of his progress, Takezushi smiled in satisfaction. Several years had passed since the incident between his mother and the man from the station, and with nothing else complicating his life, he had made comically outrageous amounts of progress when it came to cultivating his Quirk.
Now, as a fourteen-year-old, though it sounded ridiculous, Takezushi could probably conquer continents with his power. His physical strength rivaled some of the stronger strength-enhancing quirks, while his agility was on par with the speed type quirks. With Chakra added to the mix, he could further augment his physical abilities, yet that was barely worth mentioning as his Ninjutsu and Genjutsu cultivation was where his 95% of his cumulative combat prowess was stored.
With his perfected Base Element Nature and Shape Transformation, he could fire off Ninjutsu to level cities while his Genjutsu had reached a level that could be considered cheat-like as it was bolstered by his Sharingan. Add that the various Kekkei Genkai Nature Transformations that he had made considerable progress throughout the years as well and he was essentially a person with dozens of quirks; hundreds even, if you counted all the broken abilities under his arsenal as separate quirks…
Over the years he had been biding his time while training and the day to finally leave was decided. He had promised his mother that he would only conduct their escape from the life of slavery when he felt absolutely certain that nothing would go wrong and to the Aiko that had already been living a decent life when compared to before Takezushi got his quirk, her only response was to nod and smile; not at all in a rush to leave.

Thus as he guided his mother to the outside of the wooden cabin they had called their home for over a decade, Takezushi took on one last look before he sighed almost in hesitance to leave. He had already taken a period of time to send a final prayer to his deceased father by his mother's side in the grave he had helped her build all those years ago.
In the end, however, his attachment to the house couldn't restrain him and he grabbed his mother's hand. With his irises changed to red as he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, the shape of his pupils turned to evenly spaced triangles curved in the shape of a pinwheel, Takezushi said, "Kamui," and both his figure along with his mother's was warped by a spatial vortex as they entered his Kamui's Dimension.
As a Mangekyo ability that both manipulated space-time and unlocked an entire dimension for its user, Takezushi had to train long and hard to be able to master the ability and only recently did become confident in his ability to warp other people without causing them harm.
"So, where do you want to go, mom?" Takezushi asked as he looked in amusement at the reaction of his mother when confronted with the endless void of his Kamui's Dimension. They were currently standing on a rectangular prism with countless similar constructs stretching out in all directions. To those who came here for the first time, there would always be a look of astonishment.
"Where do I want to go? What do you mean by that?" Aiko didn't know the properties of the Kamui Dimension, thus it was a mystery to her why her son would even bring her here.
"I mean what country do you want us to live in. In this dimension, I control space-time almost perfectly and by superimposing it with Earth's dimension, I can make it so that we only have to walk a short distance to cross thousands of miles."
Gasping, Aiko grew wide-eyed as she looked at her son. His Quirk truly was absurd with a capital "A" and if she didn't already know him to be a good-natured boy, she would be scared to see what an evil person would do with his various powers. Thinking for just a second after the thought passed, she said, "We should go back to Japan… Its where we are from originally and since we only know how to communicate in Korean and Japanese, I think it's best we go back to our home country."

"Right-oh~" Takezushi responded cheerfully as he rearranged the spacetime of his Kamui's Dimension before leading Aiko to a short walk. As they walked through the endless plane of prisms, Takezushi asked, "So mom, what are you going to do after we return to Japan?"
"Well, first we'll go to a police station to explain our situation and we'll go from there." Now that he brought up the question, she was at a loss… 'What exactly will I do once we get back? I'll have nothing to my name and with less than a university degree, It'll be near impossible to get any good paying job...'
By the time she finished her thought, they had arrived at the spot where Takezushi would warp them out of the Kamui Dimension and back to Earth. Grabbing to Aiko's hand once more, Takezushi said, "We're here. Are you ready?"
Aiko gave him a nod and in the very next second, before she could even blink she found herself falling from the sky; accelerating as gravity pulled her towards the surface of the Earth. However, before she could even scream, Takezushi had already acted to resolve the situation. He applied an Earth Release Technique called the Light-Weight Rock Technique to reduce the impact of gravity on their bodies and what would have been a dangerous plummet to their deaths ended up being a slow and controlled descent.
'Damn, I'm still far from mastering the usage of Kamui...' Takezushi lamented as his feet touched the ground. He released the technique and with their gravity returning to normal, both mother and son could move normally. However, before they could even gather their bearings and decided on which way to go, a distant yelling that was fast approaching brought them out of their thoughts.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing?! Using quirks without a hero license is extremely illegal!" A man wearing what looked to be a superhero costume straight out of a comic book appeared before Takezushi and Aiko. He was about to continue berating Aiko and her son, when Takezushi suddenly asked, "Um… Who are you?"
"Me? I'm the Icicle Hero, Pick Boy!" Now standing just a couple feet from Takezushi, the man proudly announced his title while staring at the family pair.
"Hero? What is that supposed to mean? Actually, don't answer that… Do you know where the nearest police station is?" Takezushi didn't want to bother with what he thought to be a deranged lunatic.
"Police Station?! I was just going to warn you to stop using your quirk. It's not like what you did warrants an arrest." Stunned the man explained. He had obviously jumped to conclusions.
"It's for a different matter, so can you help us or what?"
"R-right, I'll guide you to the station..." The man turned around and began guiding Takezushi and Aiko. As the group of three walked, Takezushi asked, "Hey Mr, could you tell us where we are in the country?"
"Where we are?" The Icicle Hero's bemusement of Takezushi only grew the more he spoke. "We're in Musutafu City, within Kanagawa Prefecture." He responded despite the odd vibes Takezushi gave him. Since the spot Takezushi and Aiko landed on after exiting the Kamui Dimension was rather close to the nearest police station, it didn't take more than a minute for the Icicle Hero to drop them off.
He didn't stick long after escorting them as there were still plenty of things he needed to do, but before he left, he was treated to Takezushi and Aiko thanking and waving him goodbye. Takezushi not knowing the concept of Heroism being a job only thought of his as a friendly, albeit oddball, personality while Aiko who knew about the profession was currently planning on telling her son about it. She only now realized that while she had told her son about Quirks, she hadn't really talked much about the world outside of their Slaves' lives in North Korea, which is how there came to be a fourteen-year-old in Japan who hadn't a clue about Heroes.
Walking into the police station, Aiko told Takezushi to take a seat as she sorted out their situation with the police. There were plenty of unoccupied chairs by the entrance as there didn't seem to be many incidents taking place at the moment, thus Takezushi obediently took a seat for himself and settled into a session of meditation as he waited for Aiko to finish. Now that he had completed his goal of leaving North Korea with his mother, while he didn't have another goal of similar importance in mind, there was always to never-ending conquest of mastering his Quirk to full capacity. So, by entering a meditation Takezushi did one of the few things his shadow clones couldn't; mold chakra to increase his reserves.

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

Devourer of Destiny
A wise old grandpa in a ring. An ancient weapon to unleash one's true potential. An unorthodox teacher who emerges from obscurity to provide heroes with enlightenment. In a cultivation world, those who would rise to the top usually have some sort of advantage that propels their rapid ascent. Things that many would offer their souls to obtain. Ebon Dirge, a fallen devil descended from the highest realms of the divine, is more than happy to accept their payment. Thwarted by the machinations of the mightiest beings in the universe, he is forced to begin anew in the lands of the weakest mortals. To prepare for the ultimate confrontation, he has hatched a plot to steal the best weapon of all: destiny. Whether it is a downtrodden youth in the savage wilds, a prince driven to desperation by the royal web tangled around him, or the students and staff of an illustrious magical academy... all should beware what they wish for. They just might get it. For a price, of course. --- PROGRAMMING NOTE This is a wholly rewritten version of the novel that originally began in 2018, not a copy-paste of those original chapters. ABOUT THE NOVEL Devourer of Destiny is an exploration of cultivation story tropes and foibles. It features: - Cultivation stuff. The story is a satirical take on xianxia and xuanhuan staples and tropes.- An irredeemably evil central character.- Multiple POVs. A lot of them, although the central character remains central and will always have the lion's share. POSTING SCHEDULE TBD. Still working it out.
