《Everlasting Struggle》Chapter 62 - Domain; Skyward Bound!
Advertisement
Shin slowly opened his eyes, his dark night coloured eyes shined brightly as it gazed upon everyone.
The moment Shin opened his eyes, everything turned quiet. No one moved, it wasn’t because of strength, but because of Shin's eyes, they were way too beautiful and shone like the night sky.
“Oh, seems like you are finally awake.”
Anaj smiled as he spoke casually while patting Shin's shoulder.
“Umu.”
Shin nodded, even when he had his eyes closed, he could sense everything that had been going on.
“Thank you…”
Shin tried to express his gratitude, but Anaj stopped him.
“No need to thank me, just do what you need to do. We can talk later if you want.”
Shin nodded gratefully before putting his gaze on Marvin.
“Can I try?”
Shin didn’t wait for an answer before walking towards Marvin in the air.
The Guardians moved away, Ker'Vrak rushed and grabbed Lola before retreating. The others could escape Marvin by themselves.
“Heh, do you actually think you can defeat me?”
Marvin said in a deep voice when he saw that everyone was retreating besides Shin.
Shin stopped moving, tilting his head before glancing at Kali and Aria.
“Is he really stupid?”
Shin was genuinely asking, as he really felt that Marvin should at least not be that stupid.
Kali's golden eyes stopped rotating and turned into a deep purple once again, her lips were curved upwards as she stared at Shin.
“Yes, he’s stupid. Therefore, go and beat him up.”
After thinking about it for a moment, Kali opened her mouth again.
“I will give you a very nice reward after this.”
Kali's mouth became slightly dry as she stared at Shin with a fervour filled gaze.
“Don’t you dare touch my son, you old witch!”
Aria's cold voice sounded out as she stared at Kali.
Shin shook his head, he never understood why Kali and his mother would argue that often. But, Shin was expecting Kali's reward to be good based on her expression.
After shrugging, Shin walked towards Marvin once again.
Shin flicked his hands, making the katana and dagger enter his ring.
He felt like that they would get in his way as Shin wasn’t proficient in using weapons.
A dark aura covered his left side and a silver aura covered his right body. After Shin opened his eyes, he sensed another aura in his body. And, that silver aura wasn’t weaker than his own dark one!

“It seems like I managed to calm down and I can think clearly again.”
Shin muttered a little bit as he still walked towards Marvin.
Marvin wanted to attack, but he had a premonition that if he did attack, he would get crushed…
“Humph!”
When did I start getting afraid of mere mortals!?
Marvin leaned forward and pounced towards Shin with a sword in his hand.
Shin’s expression did not change, he calmly watched Marvin nearing him. As Shin thought, it would be for the best to evade, therefore Shin slowly leaned his body to the right, evading Marvin’s slash without any difficulties.
Marvin knew that it would never be that easy, he swiftly moved his sword towards Shin once again like a snake.
In return, Shin leaned his body backwards, evading the sword once again.
“Do you only have speed!?”
Marvin roared as he tried to attack once again, but to no avail.
“Only speed…?”
Shin muttered for a second before smiling brightly.
“No, I don’t have only speed.”
Shin stopped evading completely, rather than evading, Shin closed his right fist. Like lightning, Shin appeared right in front of Marvin, Shin used his fist to punch Marvin’s chest with his silver aura.
“Bang!”
Marvin’s body flew over five kilometres away, his chest was dented and his internal was ruptured, bleeding and his lungs punctured in several places.
After seeing this, Shin shook his head and spoke clearly that Marvin could hear.
“I don’t only have speed, I am just not good at holding back my strength.”
Seeing this, everyone sighed in relief. They clearly knew how strong Marvin was, and now Shin could overpower him. This was great!
“Hihi, this feel great…!”
Kali laughed happily as she saw Marvin getting his ass kicked.
“You’re right.”
Zura responded with a nod, but her eyes were staring at Shin’s body.
“I feel a lot happier now.”
Shin heard them speaking, but he tried putting it off his thoughts as he was still facing Marvin.
In the seven seconds Shin didn’t move, Marvin had recovered his body.
“Isn’t that fast?”
Shin furrowed his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.
He recovered in around seven seconds. Does that mean that he can recover his body as many times he wants?
Shin shook his head before thinking more about it.
It must be taxing on his body. Then that means that as long as I send him flying a few more times, he wouldn’t be able to recover again.

Good, this is a good plan.
After having thought about the situation, Shin started moving towards Marvin. But, this time, Shin moved very fast, in less than half a second, Shin was in front of Marvin.
Marvin barely had any time to react, he could only see a fist covered in a dark aura in front of his face. The next thing Marvin could see was the sky…
Shin moved without stopping, punches rained down on Marvin and kicks trampled Marvin…
Marvin felt miserable, he would rather face the previous group rather than Shin. Marvin could barely move before he got sent flying once again, all that Marvin could do was to concentrate his aura on recovering his injured body.
“Stop!”
Marvin tried to shout, but the next second he got sent flying again like a rag doll.
“Why?”
Shin continued attacking Marvin without fail while voicing out his doubts. Shin wasn’t stupid enough to stop attacking because his enemy said so.
“There’s no reason to stop, continue kicking his ass!”
Mekina hollered with all her might, she was excited because the strong God in front of Marvin could only be treated as a doll.
“Yeah, don’t stop, Shin.”
Aria said with a smile.
“How brave…”
Eline muttered as she stared at Shin with awe, Eline could remember the first time she met Shin. His innocent eyes shined brightly, and his expression could clearly be seen on his face, none of that had changed at all, only his strength.
Eline was shocked because that Shin was still himself even when he grew stronger.
Eline wasn’t the only one thinking like that, Kali had a faint smile on her face as she saw Shin acting like himself even with a strength above everyone.
Hihi, maybe I should ‘eat’ Shin before someone else does it...!
Kali’s mouth went dry as she glared at Shin as a dear, and she was the hunter.
Not knowing why, Shin trembled, and cold sweat drenched his back.
Wh-what was that? It felt like someone was staring at me like I was some prey, scary…!
Shin tried his best to forget about that feeling, he quickly continued to attack Marvin.
The recovery of Marvin slowed down, at first, it took Marvin two seconds to recover light injuries, but now it took over five seconds. Marvin’s face was ashen, and his lips were blue. Marvin saw everything he wanted to obtain in front of him, but he couldn’t finish the last phase; killing the child. Slowly but surely, Marvin stopped resisting, only blocking, despair welled up inside of Marvin.
“Domain; Skyward Bound!”
Shin roared as his two auras covered the surrounding one kilometre with Shin in the centre.
A silver and dark aura storm attacked Marvin at the same time, slowly ripping away Marvin’s flesh.
Marvin gritted his teeth, trying his best to recover his wounds. But, it was treated like a joke in front of Shin’s aura.
“Noo!”
Marvin’s flesh vanished slowly from his body, next was the muscles, nerves, blood, bones…
After five minutes, only Shin was left in his domain…
No one could manage to open their mouths to speak, it was even hard to breathe. The strongest God; Marvin was killed in such a brutal way and he couldn’t resist!
Ker’Vrak had a faint smile on his face, he knew that the little boy they have been protecting is now finally able to protect himself and even them.
Ker’Vrak considered himself as Shin’s grandfather, joy welled up from within his heart when he saw that Marvin was finally dead.
You are finally free now, free from any worry, free to be happy. Master, you have fought for a very long time, and everything is finally over.
Everyone in one way or another, was happy.
Suddenly, the overjoyed atmosphere turned quiet and eerie. No one knew what was going on, but Aria and Kali had a very bad premonition.
When the rest was glancing around, Aria and Kali both set their eyes on Shin.
Shin had a bright smile on his face and his eyes were shining brighter than the night sky itself. He had sweat running down his face, but Shin was overjoyed, he could finally live with his family in peace. Shin smiled brightly towards Aria and Kali who was rushing towards him with worried expressions.
Shin’s expression fell, and his face turned pale like snow. Shin used his hand to touch his stomach, he felt something wet, Shin raised his hand and saw his hand was covered in blood.
Shin slowly lowered his head, only to see a sword pierced right through his stomach.
Trying his best, Shin turned his head slowly in disbelief. The only thing Shin could see was a girl in a maid outfit before falling towards the ground…

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
