A few days later.
A handso white-haired man walked down the street with a pondering and longing expression.
"Hmmm...." I pondered quite deeply on if I should go to rescue her now or when she asks for it.
'How is she enduring so much? I can't believe Violet had this much endurance in her; she should have contacted or sobody that can actually rescue her, like . Of course, there are other options like, , or , or , nah?' I asked myself in confusion.
"Or has she already been rescued?" I halted in my steps and mumbled with a slight frown. I took a step forward to rush towards Violet's parents' guild building, but I instantly halted when I rembered the enlightennt that I received when I was unconscious for most of two weeks.
The realisation that I had was the fact that I am absurdly strong. Heh, of course, everybody knows that, but...
'I use none of it except for my brute strength, I have a sh*t ton of abilities in my arsenal, but I simply swat through everything without using any of my actual abilities....' I muttered in my mind, scolding myself.
I tried to manipulate aether into my eyes, just like I used to manipulate mana. Though I can't see my own eyes without a mirror, I knew for a fact that my iris should be glowing bright golden with vertical black slits, while my sclera would have turned black as well.
Now that I was able to "see" the mana flow and the different coloured attributes of mana, I looked down at my body and activated the mana veins that I copied when I fought against the werewolf in Sector One, before it turned into a gate. I manipulated the aether in them and felt a strange stinging sensation.
(AN: from ch 13: Sector One (3))
'Why is it hurting?' I frowned, because I knew that I wouldn't feel anything if it wasn't anything extre, though confused, I continued until aether was freely circulating in my lower half of the body.
'Wouldn't it be better if I just go through it all at once?' I pondered inwardly, but before I even reached a conclusion, I shrugged it off and manipulated the aether in all of the mana veins that were there from the start and the sh*t ton of new ones I created in order to move even one step forward, faster, so that I could survive and hunt down those whom I saw as my enemies.
"Argh???" I groaned in pain, as I felt a strong dose of pain after quite a while.
"Hahaha, argh, it's been a while...." I laughed rrily while groaned in pain, I received quite a few odd expressions from the pass biers, but of course, it wasn't a matter of any proper significance, so I ignored it and continued with keeping my concentration on manipulating aether throughout my body.
WHOOOMMM
"?" And with a strange sound, I suddenly felt comfortable, I glanced down and noticed that I was "glowing" in black (?), I looked around and noticed that the people who t my eyes froze in fear while those who didn't, didn't even bother to glance at , ! a man glowing in black!
"Or is it that they can't see this...." I mumbled under my breath. This conclusion was sothing that seed quite possible, so I went with it.
"Now, it's ti for my Trishul, guns, and finally THAT!" I rembered quite a few things I never used even though I kept them because I wanted to.
'Trishul, I'll take it out later, so, guns and THAT are remaining.' I muttered in my mind, took out an AR and the silver pistol that Louie gifted from my white parasite mask.
CLUNK
"It feels quite good to hold it." I mumbled under my breath, tucked the silver pistol in my baggy black trousers, held my AR in my right hand, and took a step forward while manipulating aether in my mana veins.
WHOOSH
"!!!!!" The landscape in front of instantly changed, and for the first ti, I was glad that I shot out towards the sky. I took exactly two steps: one forward to shoot up, and after reaching the height of a skyscraper, I took another step mid-air on a footing made of aether and shot out straight.
'Fast!' I muttered in shock.
SPLASH!
I halted right in the middle of an ocean, in a spot I have never actually been, and before my mind even realised what had just happened, I fell into the ocean. "Blubolbloubloub??" I mumbled underwater while swimming up.
"Phutui!! Cough! Cough?! WTF? Where am I? Don't tell that I left the human domain with rely two steps." I mumbled in utter disbelief and looked around; fortunate for , there was a pitch-black trail left behind which I could use in order to get back to the human domain.
"I never been this fast in both of my lives; sure, I was strong enough to destroy the entire world, but never this fast. Damn, I feel like sh*t when I say it out of my own mouth, no wait," I suddenly realised sothing.
"I didn't really destroy sh*t, I did absolutely nothing, did I? All my life, which I thought I did my best to survive, pushing through the limit, in ever second of my life! Nothing! None of it was actually true!! Hahahaha, Seol So-Young, Seol So-Young, Seol So-Young! I swear on my na that I'll kill you as painfully as possible. I swear."
"I was wondering why I was getting stronger and stronger without even trying; I can't believe all of that was just a delusion! Karma is the absolute weapon? Absolute my a*s! She couldn't draw or imagine a certain shape for that weapon, so she drew one long line and nad it Karma! And what was that? How did anybody believe that sh*t anyway? I disappeared without a single trace? Goddammit, at least make so, damn, sense! How can a healthy, normal person disappear without a trace?" I yelled out aloud, and though it may seem gibberish, I wasn't really finding the right words to describe all the things in my mind, about Seol So-Young's "reality" on the mana-less Earth. The sa Earth that gained mana and was destroyed by ! ! Because I couldn't handle my repetitive lives!
"Haaa....f**k." After taking out all the sh*t that was on my mind, I was slightly relieved and began to go through all the good things I saw in Seol So-Young's mories. My father, Vishnu, was alive and well, taking care of my mother, Elena, and my little sister, Luna, who had grown up into a fine beauty, even though she was working now, taking care of both father and mother; she was the one that gave Seol So-Young the permission to publish the remake of my book, even using my na and a small portion of the information about my "original" character.
Which was the "healthy" version of the current , a sh*t ton weaker too.
"But do I really have the right to complain about a thing like that?"
"I an, I am the creator and destroyer of the world I created, creator because, well, you know, because I am the one that created this world, and destroyer because, if I think properly about it, it seems like my existence, it is actually the cause for the laws of this world, changing. Maybe it is because of , that those laws are bending according to my wishes." I mumbled, closed my eyes, and sighed deeply, rembering what I actually wanted to do.
".... Violet...." I sighed again and disappeared from the spot where I floated as soon as I took a step forward, under the water.
