《My power is actually really OP you know》21. Sin
Advertisement
Everyone is seemingly invincible until the last moment.
It seems like that guy got kidnapped by Prismo. I wonder why that powerful ability holder choose that kind of name to be the trigger words. Whenever someone utter his name in proximity to an internet connected device, they would get taken to the world on the other side of the internet.
Sometime he tortures them too, but I think that guy just wanted to collect people like a stamp collector collects stamps or something.
Anyway, I guess that is what they are going to do. They were going to show my audio recording confession to that other guy with the strong super power. That seem likes a vanity type of guy, he looks like the kind of guy who posts on social media all the time. Even if he doesn't, I guessed that he would still have a smartphone on him.
So when my video recording speaks the name Prismo, the words were uttered near an internet connected device.
When that happens, Prismo will automatically takes them.
They may also get tortured in the virtual world too, but that is just a maybe.
Just as planned, if I dare to say so.
Prismo is actually a useful guy for me, because while he doesn't actually have anything on me, his power works on most other people.
I can always be an asshole like that time and sent an audio recording to the TV station under my parents' name and have them mass-broadcast it.
It was not my fault that they weren't prepared for a mass brown note attack.
Civilization ended for a single day before some of the more powerful ability holders sort thing out with Prismo in the other world.
Everyone was sent back, even the one that was kidnapped a long time ago.

The hilarious thing was that they didn't know who was the one that sent the audio.
Thinking about that, the masquerade kind of seems like a joke.
However...
"Angelica's Big bro, how do we get out of here?"
I forgot one thing.
We were locked behind a steel door with neither of us having the power to forcefully open the door.
Ah. Damn it damn it damn it. Just what the hell is this day.
I wish I was home right now, playing games and reading books.
Minutes before disaster
"Alright. What did you get?"
The business magnate Sin Artus who has regained a youthful body thank to killing an ability holder with the ability to regenerate says.
While Sin was at the end of his life, something amazing happens.
Ability holders. One of the employees at his company was the first to gain power.
He was caught in an accident, he was expected to lose his arm, however, overnight, the lost arm grew back.
That was the first person Sin Artus killed.
Sin too, has awakened a new power, he found that if he kills an ability holder, he gained their ability. It was after a night at a nearby hospital when he suddenly awakened that power.
It was as natural as breathing, he realizes it too, that every other ability holders was just his prey.
Sin Artus was never not an ambitious man. He uses the power he has to fake his death and instill himself as the new heir to be with an entire new identity. With his new leash on life, he uses all the resource of his company to research the identity of ability holder.
It is not hard being the leader in the computer technology world.
And slowly, more and more ability was his.

He couldn't even bless the deity that gives him this power.
However, one day he encounters something unusual.
He lost recollection of 30 minutes. It was one of those gaudy idol concert. It was just a whim. However, when he comes out, he found himself unable to remember anything in the last 30 minutes.
It was frightening that he the hunter was the subject of another power, who knows what was done to him in that short amount of time. So he keeps watch of that person.
During that time, his company finds someone else too.
A curious subject which he dubs Deadman.
The subject does not die no matter what is done to him. After a certain amount of time however, the subject starts to become uncontrollable.
Even Sin with his powers cannot bring him down, while Deadman keeps on growing stronger.
However, it was found that with enough damage, Deadman may weaken temporarily. All the inhuman experiments was done on him. As long as he receives another debilitating injuries before he recovers, everything can be done to him.
However, even that was not practical since Sin Artus wants him. Sin wanted Deadman's power.
It is true biological immortality, or something closes to it. He does not heal like normal but he just simply refuses to die.
Experiments to kill the man continue.
Drowning seems to be an effective tool.
Deadman is experiencing continuous "death" when he drowned. He is continuously dying while surviving, he never recovers that dangerous strength.
It seems Sin was in luck too, another ability holder appear in that time. It was a young girl, he was thinking about killing her later on his yacht after he has arranged thing with the local authorities.
Then another ability holder pops up next to Deadman.
It was the idol's mentally retarded brother.
Of course he was going to kill him.
However, currently, he is listening to the confession audio. That guy seems pathetic.
"... I know a guy who created the other universe on the other side of the internet. His name is Prismo. Anyone who speak his name in proximity of an internet connected device will be spirited away to Prismo's personal universe..."
Something tightens, Sin closes his eyes.
When he opens it, the sight of his yacht disappears.
He was in another place entirely, an office department.
"Welcome ye new sufferer."

8 105Wonderous Tales of the Northern Kingdoms
A short story collection set in a medieval Fantasy world, "Wonderous Tales of the Northern Kingdoms" takes you to the three kingdoms Seathornia, Sucellie, and Waldbergen. Follow their human and nonhuman inhabitants on their adventures. The stories tell the experiences of:- orphan girl Tilly and her water horse companion Domhnull, - healer Friedbert and his wood sprite foster grandmother Adalberga,- vampire assassin Dragomira,- mountain fairy Blanchefleur,- long-eared slave Otaspes,- King's brother Doderic,- and nightmare Princess Himiltrud. The short stories are interconnected with characters from different stories crossing paths and chronological dependencies. Nonetheless, each story can also be read on its own. The word count ranges from ca. 1800 to 2800 words. The story collection is completed with a total of fifteen short stories and two extras. Although a possible future continuation is generally an option, it is not too likely.*******This is my first time publishing one of my fictions. I am using this short story collection as a way to test the waters before I seriously consider publishing a novel. As English isn't my mother tongue, I would appreciate it if native speakers, anglicists or any other proficient users of the English language could kindly inform me about any mistakes in grammar or word choice so that I may correct it. The same applies to any sentence or paragraph that may sound unnatural in English.
8 119Through the Vortex
It all started when Howard walked in on a top secret meeting between the government and his childhood ‘friend’. This was the last thing he had expected, especially since he had just walked into his own house! The next thing Howard knew he was dragged along to an adventure he wanted nothing to do with, and even forced to play an important part. It was a simple deal. The gathered criminals, and Howard, would go out to space, take readings on a strange anomaly, and come back with their names cleared. All fun and games before they went through the vortex. (This fiction will be participating in the Royal Road Writathon Challenge)
8 159Nefarious Affairs
He broke free from the shackles that bound him for all these years, let go of the relations he had, and ran away from the responsibility that has become a burden to him. Boian did not have many expectations other than to live peacefully. What a pleasant dream? It's funny how a monster who should be crushing others dreams started to dream about peaceful life. He knew he couldn't live like normal humans. Living to old age with a loving wife and giving birth to a bunch of children was not possible for him anymore. He couldn't live in isolation either due to the food needed to maintain his Heart. The deeply rooted ideology and training he received in food consumption prevented him from doing so. He knew his very own existence did not allow him to live peacefully, yet he tried. But, everything changed when he met a strange girl in his peaceful way of living. A meeting that changed his expectations and pulled him back to the shackles, relations, and responsibility he tried to escape from but this time with no chance of escape. It was because, she gave him the fiercest stimulant that makes or breaks a man, 'Ambition.' He wanted to go back to where he was kicked out with his head high and beat the people who dared to look down on him. Even if it was the DEVIL himself. ***************************** Author half asleep: Simply put. A poor fellow gets messed up real hard by a chick and gets thrown back into the good vs evil cliche war he tried to escape from. Whether the chick be a blessing to him or a burden to him forms the story. Tags: Adventure, Heavy romance [No cliche harem but there are affairs(pun intended)]. Also a lot of action later on. I am a newbie...So be gentle with me plz.. (KiBiBiK's note - I have changed the title and synopsis so apologies to early readers)
8 213After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
