After another long day of practice, It was once again ti to sleep. "Good night Edge." Both Tuskiyomi and Eri spoke at the sa ti.
"Good Night you two."
...
I had a dream a very realistic dream, I had no control of the dream whatsoever and in it, I was soone else a boy feeling bored of the world. I had won over a thousand battles in my own world and not once was I defeated. It was at that mont as despair and boredom have overco , I t an unknown person who I started to fight with.
The person I was fighting was strong, his techniques were equal to mine. For the first ti in a long while, I needed to go all out. I attacked the man with my real abilities, and he was still able to keep up, but then he surrendered. I couldn't take it, this wasn't right.
"Is this all? It ain't right? Please don't tell this is it! I wish for more! Didn't you co to elevate my boredom?! Haven't you co to answer my wish! So please, I beg of you, tell this isn't all!"
The words flew out of my mouth, my resentnt, my anger, my fears, I laid them all bare to the man I just t. It was my pain my suffering, I was the strongest in my world, but I was also the loneliest. What was the point of my strength if there wasn't anything to face.
"Boy, I have a suggestion. Would you hear out?"
The man then proceeded to ask if I would want to go to another world. Of course, I answered yes, without any hesitation. This world no longer has anything for . My family has died, I already avenged them, my enemies are too weak to do anything, and my friends do not exist. There was nothing left for in this world.
The man took my hand and transported to another world. In that world, the man told the words I would never forget, those were the words that changed my life of boredom. To a life full of excitent battle, and adventure.
"Welco to the world of mighty dragons, formidable Gods, beautiful elves, stomping giants, proud dwarves, enchanting spirits, mighty beasts, cunning demons, bewitching fairies, shining angels, and greedy humans."
...
In this new world, I got to fight Dragons, vampires, mythical creatures, armies of people. Every day was fun, battles were abundant. In this world, I was also able to have companions. People who would stand by my side through thick and thin.
...
The dream continued on and in the next scene, I was holding the body of a girl. This girl was my very first companion. The rage that I was feeling disappeared as I held on to her tightly. As I was panicking the girl spoke to .
"Hey you idiot, you were about to die but you still smiled." The sword that pierced her heart was retracted. The man that stabbed her retreated showing his respect.
"Why did you do that? Why Eli?" I asked in a voice that was surprisingly calm.
"You truly are an idiot. Fighting at the sa level as your opponent never going all out at the beginning. So this is what you get for being too lax..." She just spouted a bunch of random nonsense. I saw her body was trying to regenerate but it couldn't do so fully. She only had a few minutes left before she dies.
"Really Eli why did you die in my place?" I just couldn't understand it. I was the one who fought, I was the one who was careless, but I was not the one to die.
"Idiot! First, you leave behind, then you forget about , now you're asking stupid questions... Why did I protect you? The answer is pretty obvious, it's because you are important to ." Eli smiled gently at as she caressed my face. I could feel sothing flowing out of my eyes. Tears? I'm actually crying? I didn't even cry when my parents were murdered, never did I cry as I endured incredible pain, but now I'm actually crying.
"Heh, so even you can cry... It has been fun going to all those places, eting all those people, fighting side by side. I'm truly grateful that I have t you... I have no regrets... If we et again in our next lives please take on another adventure, so you may fulfill your promise to find a new ho..." Those were her last words as her body beca lifeless in my hands.
An unknown feeling rage filled as I gritted my teeth. How can I allow this? I do not accept this! No way would I accept this!
"I will save you from the grip of Death himself!"
...
The scene changed again and this ti I was facing Death. He spoke to with all the arrogance of a God.
"So child how long do you wish to continue this battle? It seems like neither of us can finish the other, at this rate this battle might actually continue for eternity. Child, I can actually continue fighting you for an eternity and do my job at the sa ti. You on the other hand can't continue for eternity because of your own mortality. Do you still wish to battle?"
Hearing what the God of Death said made laugh.
"HAHAHAHA! An eternal battle? Cannot continue? Limited by my own mortality? Who decided that? You? What I hope for, what I desire, is an eternal battle... But this battle that I yearn for will not co from you God of death."
I slashed the God of Death with one of my strongest moves, and as expected even a God could be killed, not even ashes were left. I then felt a new power surging from within , and along with it was information directly transmitted to my brain. It explained to that I am the new God of death, it also explained my duties and how to use my powers.
With this power, I could resurrect Eli, but as the new God of death, I will not be able to leave. Well, no matter, I owe her that much. I using my new authority resurrected Eli.
"Welco back my Queen."
"Leo, what have you done?"
"Nothing I just destroyed the God of Death and brought you back to life."
"... I already thought of that, but still hearing it from you actually gives it a sense of reality. Do you understand what has been done, Leo? Soone needs to replace Death and you who have acquired his title need to stay and do his job."
"I know..."
"Why Leo, didn't you have a dream of finding defeat in battle? Didn't you make lots of promises? What of our journey will you end it here?"
"No, I won't end the journey here. Only my original body a.k.a this one needs to stay, so one of my many current clones can go with you. It's a that's not ."
I showed Eli a carefree smile, but she shook her head.
"Leo there's no need for you to stay, give the scythe as well as the title of Death. It was and my clansn who originated from Death who should take the role if he falls."
"What are you saying, Eli? Are actually telling to leave you behind after reviving you? I can't do that Eli what of my promise to you?"
"You already fulfilled it, Leo, this, the underworld will be my new ho."
"Eli... Are you sure?"
"I am Leo, don't look at like that. It's not like this is our final farewell. As long as your alive we can et each other again, nay even if you die I will et you at your final monts."
"Fine then Eli, I grant unto you the title of Death, hear is the scythe."
"Thanks, Leo."
"Sure, it was a fun little adventure, thank you for being there..."
"No, thank you, Leo, for showing up on that day and reaching out your hand. Thank you for fulfilling your promise."
"Well then Eli, until we et again."
As I turned around and was about to leave Eli suddenly shouted at .
"LEO!"
Hearing her shout I stood in place waiting for her to say sothing.
"Leonard Tranor, I love you! The adventures we had, the day you brought out of the darkness, I will never forget them, even if eternity ceases. Stupid, perverted, battle maniac, kind, wonderful, Leo I will always love you!"
Hearing her say that I almost couldn't help but tear up. I did not turn around to respect her resolve, I must show her mine.
"Elizabeth Rogue, I will co back for you."
...
I then stood up from my bed gasping for air, I saw that I was surrounded by people. Tsukiyomi, Eri, Sarah, Willa, Terumi, even Ren-sensei was here looking at with worry.
"Onii-chan! You're finally awake!" Sarah hugged tightly.
"What's going on?" I asked trying to get my wits about.
"You were releasing mana out of your body, and it was flowing out violently. You've been asleep the whole day, and had a high fever just monts ago." Tsukiyomi responded to my question.
"Is that so..."
"Do you know what was happening to you Edge?" Rena-sensei asked . I couldn't help but recall the dream I just had. That was a dream of being the spirit Leonard Tranor.
'Did he do sothing to ? Or was that sothing else?' As everyone was looking at worried, I had no other answer but to say.
"I had a dream."
