Chapter 3:
This day was the first of many thundering crashes of my life.
Staring at the Lycan type monster, it was clear what had happened. My mother wasn’t able to gain her power and become a power bearer, meaning she became a mindless beast. I looked at where she was originally lying, but there was just a pool of blood there. It was blood of my father, so she must’ve already killed him.
It starred me down, it’s hungry eyes wanting to devour me. I smiled at it, “Come at me.” raising my knife to it. Without hesitation it began to run at me.
It swings it claws at me, but I teleport behind it. While it looks for me I rush up to it’s back, attempting to sweep it’s leg.
But my leg just stops at its ankle, it turns around me, staring at me. Grabbing me into it’s arms.
Dropping my knife onto the ground, instantly teleporting down to and grabbing the knife, “Crap, knowing how to move is way different than actually moving like that in a fight.” I smack the temple of my head and calmed myself.
I throw the knife like a dart across it’s face. It staggered a bit from it. Teleporting myself to the knife through it causes strike of electricity through it.
From the pain it lashes out everywhere, hitting me in the process across the chest and abdomen. I was bleeding very heavily from it. I fell to the ground.
It tries to jump at me in this moment, but I haven’t given up yet. I slid the knife across the room and teleported to it. In the same instant throwing it above it, teleporting, throwing it into the ground, passing through it.
I kept repeating this over and over, destroying family photos and more in the process. But something interesting had begun to happen, with each teleportation the energy kept getting stronger.
Dashing through it, all my happy memories with my mom flash in my mind. Making me hesitate at first, but then I stopped. Telling myself, “That is just a beast, not your mother.”
Finally after around forty teleports I dropped down with all of the energy in my hands onto its back. As I stabbed into a large strike of energy followed, letting out a large boom that resembled the sound of thunder striking.

I fell to the ground afterwards. Barely any strength left in my body from the overuse of my power. Blood still overflowing from my wound.
Seconds later the military stormed in.
“Entry into the Raiiki Household complete, reporting status now.” they rushed in, guns at the ready. Looking around at all the damage and holding me at gun point.
“Beast is confirmed to have been killed and the suspect is Hayato Raiiki, permission to neutralize the power bearer is requested.” three of them put their gun barrels at me. I smirk for a moment. “Well goodbye.”
With the little strength I had left, I teleported into the forest I used to train. Teleporting my bag and knife to me.
I staggered in the forest from all the blood I was loosing, barely limping towards a cave I found while training. “Fuck, it hurts.” that was all I could think about it.
Getting into the cave I dropped my bag and knife, laying down onto the floor. “If someone doesn’t save my damn ass, I’m done. Hope Yuki stays safe though.” I finally give out to the pain and exhaustion.
Passing out right there.
Chapter 4:
Two girls are walking through the forest where Hayato hid, they seemed to be looking for him and during this couldn’t stop chattering.
“Nina, do you really have to find this guy.” one of the girls said to the other. (She had piercing red eyes and long bright blonde hair.) From across her the other girl answered, “Yes Mari, we have to find him. The boss said that the energy has last tracked in this location.” she seemed more focused and willing to find Hayato than Mari was. (Nina had dark short hair, that had lots of white strands throughout it and bright green eyes.)
Mari sighs and throws a rock at a tree, “But why us, so many other could’ve had gone.” she keeps pacing around looking everywhere. Nina looks back at Mari, “You know already why, since there are two options of his current state. First being that he won’t listen and will attack us and second being that he is hurt, thus needing my power.”

Nina’s power: Vitality Transfer
Through her power she is able to transfer vitality from herself or from another person to someone. Greatly increasing their recovery speeds. If using her own vitality she begins to feel strain and weakness in her body depending on the injuries, the effects get stronger and stronger.
Mari’s Power: Vampiric Body
Like the name says, Mari has a body akin to that of a vampire. With the abilities as increased speed, strength and faster healing. Along all of those things, if she takes in the blood of another power bearer, she can use their power to a degree. But comes with the drawback of needing to drink blood once a day.
Mari stretches out a bit, “Yeah yeah I know, and I already got the scent of blood, it’s most likely from that guy. Let’s go.” Nina looks at Mari dumbfoundedly, “If you already had it, then why did we keep looking for so long with you complaining.” Mari giggles, “Cause you are so cute when get frustrated at me.”
They walk over to the cave where Hayato had hidden.
Nina walks over to Hayato’s body on the floor, lifting up his shirt to see the large wound he had there. “Holy crap, how has he hung on for so long with a wound like this. This is gonna take quite a bit out of me.” Mari places her hand on her shoulder, “Don’t overdo it, okay?”
She smiles placing her hands on Hayato’s chest and abdomen, “Don’t worry, I will do how much I can.” Then a purple green water substance begins to flow from her hands and onto his wounds. It seeped into the wounds, pulling them together and repairing them. During this Nina is barely keeping herself upright and she keeps getting more and more white hair strands.
His wounds almost fully close and Hayato’s eyes begin to open.
When I came to I saw two girls in my sights, one was standing at the entrance to the cave while the other was sitting down next to me. Her hand were on my chest for some reason, I wanted to move but the pain stopped me for a second. Even saying anything wasn’t possible.
Then in a singular moment my pains vanished but then the girl next to me began to collapse. I quickly caught her before she fell to the ground, “Are you okay?!” worryingly I accidentally said it loudly.
The other girl rushed in to her side, pushing me away, “Are you okay Nina?” So it seemed that girls name was Nina. “Let me go Mari, I just felt heavy.” she toke herself out of this Mari girls arms and sat down, putting her hand on her head.
Mari then dusted herself off and walked over to me, pushing me to the cave’s wall, “Ima keep this quick, were you the one that killed the beast that appeared and…” she took one of the daggers from its holster on her thigh and put it up to me neck, “What will you do now?”
This had surprised me, first they helped me and now I am being threatened with a dagger to my neck. Seemed like some weird behavior.
I raised my hands, “Look I don’t want to fight you.” I said attempting to defuse the situation. She wasn’t having any of this, pushing the dagger more into my neck, “Answer what I asked.”
Seemed like that wouldn’t, I sighed. “Yes I killed that beast and I don’t know what I am going to do, but…” then teleporting to the mark at the entrance to the cave, “I do not plan on dying.”
She smiles, “Oh good then.” she rushed at me after saying that, taking out her second dagger and swinging it right at my heart. I reflexively teleported back behind her.
Then Nina stood up, “Mari can you stop for just a single moment.” She walks up in between us. Mari puts away her daggers, “Come on I was just playing around a bit.” she seemed to be more of a free spirit than Nina who seemed at first like she is more serious.

Guerdon
The sheer vastness of the planes of reality meant that if a combination of laws is stable enough, then it probably exists. The protagonist encounters one such stranger than fiction world that he has a hard time wrapping his head around. He is left alone in an Alien Reality. To him survival isn't the most important after all that he had been through, but he refuses defeat in his pursuit to understand the strange reality he finds himself in. Join this journey of his new story in finding out the answers and secrets of this world. I like this Genre to put it bluntly but I've always found that illogical 'Science' and flawed laws of the world, typical in these stories. So, I've decided to fix that. I have tried my best to make weirdness make sense in this World filled with Magic. Short of simulating them to verify, the laws of this new world should make some reasonable sense and will be consistent (As much as I humanely can keep it that way). This might mean my story might vary in it's progression speed but as a compensation, I promise to have a lot more sensible Cliffhangers if I must put them in. Also, I'm not a big fan of over using vocabulary when telling a story. So, My Language will be very unsophisticated. Hope that's not a putoff. So, Enjoy your reading!
