Sometimes People are Batshit Insane

"Lion King, if you are willing to trade the Purple Crystal with me, I will not naturally bother you." She demanded. Naturally? You need to check on grammarly...

"Woman, in so many years, you are the first one to challenge me! If you want to die, I will help you with it!" The Lion King snarled out and charged energy to its horn. Help? Want to die? Is this- Nevermind, in cultivation novels, everyone is stupid...

"DIE!" The Lion King sent out a blast of energy at the girl, a blast that would destroy a building at a second-like destructive capabilities.

[AN: Is it just me, or does the writing looks like... lazy writing?]

The girl simply smirked. As the blast of energy went through her, she disappeared and reappeared in front of the Lion King. Said Lion was just as surprised as Lao was.

"Phantom Shift! This woman isn't that simple!" Lao called out, recognising the techinque. It's just a rip-off of Flash-Step, Lao... At this point, I believe that Dou-Qi is a rip-off to chakra...

As the girl unsheathed a blade, a rapier perhaps, she pulled the blade back charged towards the Simba (Lion King joke). As the blade sliced clean through the horn, The Lion King roared in pain as it BITCH-SLAPPED the girl out of unconsciousness.

To say he wasn't pissed was an understatement. "WOMAN! YOU HAVE ANGERED ME! I WILL LET YOU EXPERIENCE THE MOST PAINFUL PUNISHMENT!" The Lion King boomed with Dou-Qi as it gone on a rampage.

"Shit...!" The girl muttered as she was caught from the blast.

Oop, let's get the hell out of here. "She's doomed! Let's get the hell out of here before we die from her insanity!" I ran from the shockwave, using the Force as a speed increasing method.

"Xiao Yan Zi! Hurry and run! The Lion King is on a rampage!" "Xiao Hong!" Yan rode Xiao Hong's red furry back and ran the fuck away from that shit!

BOOM!

The increasing shockwave lead to an explosion, destroying everything in sight as we ran with our asses off. "Oh my god! Hurry, Xiao Hong, run! What kind of shit is that Purple Crystal?! Actually causing them to value it so much?!" Yan cried out as he held on Xiao Hong's furs.

I held a 'duh' expression. "The Purple Crystal is a crystal that appears after a purple crystal winged lion king has trained for numeorus years! The energy inside it is extremely pure. If someone below the Dou King level were to intake it after it is possessed, they can immediately advance!" Lao explained.

"If it was so valueable, why would someone stupid enough to ask the Lion King to take their treasure? Oh wait, I forgot! Everyone is stupid in this continent! They never thought of stealing the damn thing without the Lion King knowing, didn't they?" I asked Lao, giving me the 'surprised pikachu face' at me.

"Yes... But there was a problem." Lao admitted, causing me to slap my face in stupidity. Problem or not, you do not simply 'ask' a Dou Emperor Magical Beast to give it's treasure.

"WOAH! Xiao Hong, what's happening with you?" The Red Wolf suddenly stopped as Yan unsaddled himself and touched the ground. As we saw the sudden layer of amethyst crystaline in the entire lake, Yan widened his eyes.

"The entire lake is covered by a purple crystal layer... Wait, there's someone over there?!" Yan pointed at the far away unconscious body in the lake. As we both ran towards the body, we got a look who the mysterious insane girl who fought with a Lion King.

"It's her?!" Yan shouted as we got a closer look. She was wearing combat robes, and a metal vest underneath. She was still hooded, so Yan couldn't see who it was. And... There is a Seal-looking Mark on her chest. That looks VERY dangerous.

"This is...! It's the mark of the Purple Crystal Seal! Looks like they were both hurt in the earlier battle!" Lao explained as he revealed the purple mark was a sealing mark. As the Purple Dou-Qi emitted from the seal, I knew it was lethal to the insane girl.

"Xiao Yan Zi, hurry and bring her to the cave. Otherwise the aura from the seal will attract the nearby Magical Beasts over!" Lao asked to Yan, who was confused.

"Eh? How do I bring her?" Yan replied. Lao rolled his eyes.

"Carry her! Hurry!" Lao stated and Yan did what he asked. I gave a deadpan to Lao.

"We're helping an insane woman that recklessly demanded the Lion King, a Dou Emperor level Beast, in which it is searching to kill her?..." I flatly replied. Yan 'tch'-ed.

"Nevermind that! She's hurt, and that's all that matters!" Yan said as he ran carrying the girl with her. I rolled my eyes. Damn hero complex, does wonders... Karma exists, and helping people is good, I guess...

Listen, kids! I help people if I can because, helping people is a good thing for them. I don't want to be treated like a dickhead because I did a bad thing. By doing a good thing, I get treated good. That's what they think, and I'm just following it.

Not out of morals. Or PTSD. Or stupidity. Or just no reason. Just that I do it for good results. Karma exists, and I follow it's rules.

Basically... I do good things such as 'helping people', and 'they' think it's a 'good act'. I just do it, because I don't want to be treated as a dickhead. Just that. Because treated as a dickhead is troublesome.

...

Yan rested the girl's unconscious body on a rock and crossed his arms sagely. "What a beauty... But I won't be seduced by you~ I already have Xun-Er..." He sagely nodded as he thought of Xun-Er. I may have lessened Yan's arrogance, but I haven't fixed his hormone levels...

Hmm, I should train him- Actually, nevermind. He can keep his hormones.

"Who is seducing you..." Lao rolled his eyes. She was- You know what? She's a beauty or whatever. I'm tired of describing how 'beautiful' she looks, and I'm saying she's not ugly.

"Master, what should we do?..." Yan asked. Lao 'hmm'-ed. "Purple Crystal Seal... It is created by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Dou-Qi. We can only use the Red Spirit Fruit and various medical plants that grows in front of the Lion King's cave and create a medicine to break through it..." He explained.

"And I guess it's what Yan is holding, right?" I replied casually as I pointed Yan holding the medical ingredients. Lao turned as widened his eyes in surprise.

"... Ah. Yes, you're right. The Lion King's cave is extremely hard to find, so... This... is weird." Lao trailed off, getting pretty suspious of the MC's bullshittery powers to get what they want.

"I'll tell you about Yan's mysterious luck later. What does Yan need to do?" I asked Lao, causing Yan to give a pleading look.

"Master, how do I make a cure?" "You make it by yourself." "EH?!"

...

The Next Following Day... In the morning, whatever. I was researching the purple crystaline layer that was created yesterday, if this would be another material for my future projects...

Well, the purple crystal? Filled with Purple Dou-Qi. Similar to Monster Cores, but a weaker variant. I could... just absorb the Dou-Qi inside the crystal and make it mine, but there's some risks involved.

Fuck it, Imma bout to do it.

As I willed to absorb the foreign Dou-Qi inside me, I-

YOU DARE TO ABSORB MY DOU-QI?! I AM THE LION KING! I WILL- Shaddup...

Squeezing my hands into fists, I destroyed the malicious Dou-Qi inside the crystal, the voice subsiding into nothing. I absorbed the Dou-Qi inside me, making a mental note that Magical Beasts can embue their malicious intent in their Dou-Qi.

Just like the time when the Flying Dou Skill that Yan was using had a Magical Beast Soul that tried to take over his body.

I used the Dou-Qi from the purple crystal and shared my daily dose of growing Dou-Qi into the lightsaber crystal- JEZUS CHRIST

"Ouch...!" I shook my limp hand away from the green crystal. It was more greedy then before, taking almost all of my Dou-Qi out of the system, including the foreign Dou-Qi. I glared at the crystal.

"Ugh..." A female moan called out from the cave. I quickly hid away the green crystal and turned to the now awakened crazy woman. At that time, Yan was already there.

"Ah, you woke up!" Yan called out to her, carrying the medical ingredients on his arms as Xiao Hong looked pleased. He dropped the ingredients and rushed to her with concern.

"How is it?" "How many fingers is this?" "Do you have an headache or any dizziness?" "Can you talk?" Yan repeadily asked, the girl going silent at the sudden questions. Yan grew excited as she was fine.

"I did it! I did it! The medicine I made won't kill people!" Yan excitedly shouted, using a testing medicine at the girl despite his newbie levels. I rolled my eyes.

She blinked. "Who are you? Did you save me?" She calmly asked with a monotone. Yan stopped.

"'Me? I am only a mercenary lost in this mortal world, seeing that you and I have the same misfortune, there is no need for you to use your body to repay this dept, miss-'" Oh, he's monologuing now.

"Name." She calmly demanded. Slight annoyance flashed in her eyes as the joking side of Yan was already gone. Yan's spine shivered at the 'no-nonsense' strict look.

"Yao- Yao Yan!" Yan said, accidently speaking a fake name from the powerful atmosphere. Even Xiao Hong was a bit scared at the powerful feel. I ignored them both.

Looking satisfied at the answer, she nodded and hurriedly left the cave without looking back. "Yao Yan! I will remember this debt!" She simply replied out and left the cave.

As we saw the girl flew outside of the cave as a beam, Yan and Lao looked stumped as she left without any words.

"That was fast..." Yan replied out, dumbfounded.

"Ha, truly an ice beauty!" Lao chuckled. I finally met them both and eyed Yan.

"Even she couldn't deal with your awful pick-up lines." I flatly replied as Yan turned to me in shock and hurt. Later on, Yan huffed.

"Tch, how arrogant. I hate those damn people who act so arrogant. If I knew from the beginning, I wouldn't have saved her!" He huffed out. Yan... Did you just.

"Why would you save her in the first place, you fucking idiot... WHY?" I groaned out, being already suffered enough from Yan's stupidity. Yan had no answer as he stuttered.

I thought he saved her because of his hero complex! I let him do his stupid act because it would give some good karma, but he just did it because... His hormones acted up?! Oh, my lord...

"Are you letting her go like this?" Lao asked. Yan sighed.

"I don't know... Besides, I guess she'll be fine? There shouldn't be another magical beast that would hurt her, since she survived against the Lion King..." He muttered. Lao raised an eyebrow.

"The Purple Crystal Seal can seal Dou-Qi..." Lao explained. Yan raised an eyebrow.

"So? Won't my medicine be effective?" It seems that I didn't helped Yan's arrogance... He clearly believes that his medicine his effective, but in reality...

"Yes... But your level of creating medicine is still not efficient. The aftereffect is still enormous. The seal is still not completely gone, in other words... Her Dou-Qi did not completely recover... Right now, she is at the level of Dou Practitioner, any magical beast can kill her!" Lao explained. Yep. There's the twist. I couldn't trust him to completely recover her Dou-Qi...

"EEEEH?!" I rubbed my eyes from the building stress levels. I glared at Yan.

"Just save her, leave her to die, kill her yourself, I don't care. I'm VERY tired because of a overgluttonous laser sword crystal sucked my reserves dry, and I'm going to sleep. If you wake me up, I will personally. KILL. EVERYTHING IN A TEN MILE RADIUS WITH MY BARE FISTS AND RIP OUT THEIR BONES AND PLAY THUNDERSTRUCK ON B FLAT! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" I was livid, and I didn't care what was Yan feeling.

I had a bad day, my lightsaber is fucked, barely defeated a sea serpent, awake for three days straight on cocai- no coffee, sweaty wet clothes, a nearly death experience from a kyber crystal, and the SUFFERING OF DEALING WITH THE MC'S STUPIDITY FOR ALL OF MY LIFE!

...

'Damn! I must head to a place where I can utilise my strength to break the seal!' She cursed at the fact she was being chased by two Magical Beast boars that she could easily kill.

She lept and sliced through the other boar, and in that moment, she was open to any attacks. The other boar slammed and sent her flying to the ground. Momentarily, she grit her teeth as she prepared herself.

"HA-YAH!" Yan appeared out of knowhere and swung his ruler at the two boars. As he slammed the ruler at two boars, he sent them both flying to air, nowhere to be seen.

"You?!" She exclaimed out in surprise. Yan 'tch'-ed as he faced the woman.

"You should have mentioned if your Dou-Qi hasn't recovered yet! What are thinking?!" Yan shouted out as she narrowed her eyes.

"I've angered the King of the Forest! You should not get close to me, otherwise it will involve you as well!" She shouted out, as Yan willed his ruler back into his Dou-Qi (The Black Ruler has a special ability to be stored inside the user's Dou-Qi).

"I'm very well involved! I'm responsible for your life, and I'm staying it that way! I'm not going to let someone die because of my actions!" Yan shouted back, causing her to avert her eyes and rush away coldly.

"I don't need a Dou Practitioner to protect me! I'm doing this for your own good! If you want to live, stay away from me!" She blindly rushed towards a random direction. Yan widened his eyes as he saw what she entered.

"Don't! Don't go over that place, it's...!" Yan tried to warn her, but it was too late.

"The Blood Sucking Demon Bat's cave!" As the bats rush towards the shocked girl, she fainted comically as she fell down to the floor. Yan ran to the swarm of bats whacked as many as he could with the ruler (now manifested).

"I can't believe it, a Dou Emperor would actually faint from a few bats..." Yan muttered in ridiculousness as he whacked a couple of bats near them. Yan turned to Xiao Hong.

"Xiao Hong! Hurry and bring her back to the cave! If she wakes up, don't let her leave! I'll take care of this place!" Saddling the girl in Xiao Hong's back, the wolf ran as far away as possible as Yan continued to whack the bats.

"I'm beginning to believe my arrogance has got me to this..." Yan gritted his teeth as he regretted being stupid again. As the swarm of bats charged towards Yan, he gulped.

"Fuck it, COME HERE YOU DAMN BATS! I'LL COOK YA NICE AND CRISPY!" Yan flared his Fire Dou-Qi into the ruler and prepared himself to battle.

...

Meanwhile, in the cave... The girl looked down in shame and guilt as the Dou Practitioner, Yao Yan, could've saved her twice, and she didn't thank him.

"It's hard to imagine... That a magical beast is able to understand humans and become partners with them... Your master will come back alive, right?" She softly spoke as she touched Xiao Hong's red fur.

"Huff... Huff... I hate bats..." Yan huffed out as he used the ruler as a resting pole from the exhaustion and the pain.

"YAO YAN!" She ran towards Yan in concern as he fell down, unconscious and hurt to the ground. She realised one of the bats had biten Yan.

"Shit! He seems to have received the Blood Sucking Demon Bat's poison! YAO YAN!" She clutched Yan's unconscious body. She needed to help. There... was one other person next to Yao Yan, wasn't there?... He could help.

...

"Uugh..." Yan groaned out as recovered from the poison. Lying down using a stone as a pillow, he cursed the existence of bats. Fucking bats. Hate 'em.

Yan froze. There was a girl. The same girl that he saved her twice. And she was resting on his lap, blissfully sleeping.

Yan felt hot on his face as he blushed heavily. "W... what the hell is this all about?" He asked to someone, anyone who could clear this misunderstanding. He TRIED to ignore the bulge on his pants. Namely, his crotch.

'You were unconscious for 3 days. During this period, she did not leave your side at all.' His master spoke, amused of the fact that Yan could be easily flustered. He chuckled.

'And the poison that you received from the Demon Bats was sucked by this woman's lips~' His master teased at the fact that she had to suck Yan's neck to pull out the poison. Yan went beet-red as he blushed so hard.

"...! Ah, you're awake!" She woke up, quickly leaving Yan's lap as she was surprised.

"Oh, I..." Yan stuttered, still caught off-guard from blushing and the sudden skin contact. She blinked in realisation.

"You were unconscious for three days! You must be hungry! Lie down there and don't move. I made some soup. I'll bring some over for you to drink!" She rushed towards out of sight, leaving a very confused Yan wondering where Mark was.

She later came back with a steaming hot bowl, and carefully hovered it near Yan's mouth. Yan didn't know what was the cause of the sudden heatness. The closeness of the beautiful girl, the steaming hot bowl, or the cold.

"Come, drink some. Be careful, it's hot..." She softly gave the bowl into the blushing Yan. Yan carefully drank the soup in small intakes and-

PPPFFFFFF!!!

"HOT! SO HAWT!" His tongue burnt from the boiling steaming hot bowl as he shouted for water. The girl looked surprised as she cupped her hand on her lips in concern.

"Sorry, it's my first time taking care of others..." She confessed, as Yan nurtured his tongue as he literally cried tears from his eyes. He felt an odd smell from his nose.

"Wait, what did you use to make this soup?..." Yan carefully asked as he hoped she didn't use THAT. She obliviously blinked at pointed at the steaming ruined Medical Kiln as Yan's jaw dropped from utter depression.

"Ahhh!!!!! MY MEDICAL POT!" Yan cried out a waterfall of tears from his eyes as his only Medical Kiln was ruined into a cooking pot.

Hands shaking, he stared at the huge hole on his clothes. "Also T...this hole in my clothes is..." He stuttered out from the depression. The girl apologetically looked down.

"About that... It's my first time washing clothes..." She sadly confessed. Even the medical plants were soaked with water, and they were the point of almost dead useless.

He guffawed out of ridiculousness when he saw Xiao Hong. "Xiao... Xiao Hong! What happend to you!" "Wu!" The said Red Wolf was peppered with girly knots and ribbons as the girl averted her eyes in shame.

Tears cried from his eyes as he rested a hand on the ruined Kiln. "I... I only wanted to thank you... yet..." She apologised with a sweatdrop, feeling genuinely sorry and guilty of the mess.

GRUMBLE~

Both of the stomaches growled in hunger as she blinked in realisation. "Ah! I was also frying a fish..." Yan glanced at the 'fried fish' which was a burnt skeleton of what was once a fish.

Yan let out a deep sigh of exhaustion. "How about not touching my stuff, and let me do all the work..." He sighed out, giving an awkward smile from her as she was sorry.

Mark.

"..." Yan turned to Mark. Who was awake. And looking VERY pissed. Covered in soup. That he spat out. VERY PISSED.

"So..." Mark calmly fucking terrifyingly picked up the kitchen knife, which it gleamed in bloodlust for some pain. The girl sweated heavily as she silently whimpered in fear.

Yan... was praying for a god to come and save from the devil himself. Mark grinned darkly as he sharpened his knife from the stone as the two unfortunate duos were frozen in fear.

"You want... ChOPPeD? oR DIcED?!" Yan clutched the shivering girl who was terrified as fuck as they hugged each other and hoped for dear life.

"ANsWERRRR MEEEEEEEEEE!!!?!?!?!!"

Their screams of fear shouted out to the heavens, as the gods were also terrified as well.

...

I cracked my neck with a grunt as I prepared my coffee. The crazy girl and FUCKING YAN were cooking boar meat slices with painful bulges on their heads.

Yan used the ruler as a frying pan, and using fire source with a campfire, cooking the meat. The place was silent, excluding the fact that Xiao Hong was munching meat happily giving no fucks.

"Here!" Yan gave a slice to her, accepting the smoking hot boar meat. Yan was already dealt with my pissed self and shrugged over the fact they weren't dead. Yet.

"... When I am a Dou Emperor, I don't have anything to do at all... Everyone treated me as if I was god..." She explained her reasons of her uselessness, why not?

She also glanced at me carefully. "Eep!" She called out as I glared at her, causing her to shiver in fear. Yan, pat her shoulders with some relief.

"Don't worry, I've dealt this situation before. Just calm down, and he won't kill and murder us all. Either there's really a good reason why he hasn't killed us yet, and I don't want to know why..." Yan whispered to her, causing her to nod slowly in understandment. What they don't know is that I can hear their whispers...

"... What's your name." I finally called out, flinching both of them in fear as I suddenly talked on my silent moment. She gulped.

"Yun Zhi..." She calmly replied, and her eyes hesitated from the silent response I was giving. The silence made it more tense as Yan gulped.

"... I'm going to call you Yun. Change the name if I ever recall someone with the same name... I have some words to say." They both gulped in sync as my upper part of my face darkened.

"Yun, what you don't know is that I have a strict policy of being Left. Alone. While I'm taking my free time sleeping peacefully, I do not care for any of you, instead I have an odd urge to murder you all and separate the bones and blood from your dead corpses." Yun shivered from the coldness as she imagined the possible future of her life. Dead, or Alive. I turned to face Yan.

"Yan... Oh, you poor bastard. You managed to wake me up NOT from steaming hot water, BUT from steaming hot 'soup' you spat out from your mouth, right? Simply dreadful, just so disgusting coming from your mouths... Hahahahaha.... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHA- Jokes aside, you pissed me off." My mood changed faster than a speeding bullet. Yan was so scared at the fact he woke me up, AGAIN!

"Not only you pissed me off, you let this bitch fuck up your Kiln, even the poor mutt, and woke me up to force me to drink. Fucking. COFFEE." I glared at them both, like a death reaper reaping out poor unfortunate souls.

"I hate... Coffee. Aside from it's usefulness to forcibly wake me up, it also makes me... Very tired if the effects have worn off. But drinking this again in a state where I have already drunk it gives me more suffering than a fucking hangover." I shook the coffee mug around for more tension.

"I loath the fact that I HAVE TO DEAL WITH BOTH OF YOU LITTLE SHITS AND THE FACT THAT I'M SURROUNDED BY- Huuu....." I sighed out, clutching my forehead as the stress levels has gone through the roof.

"I shouldn't say anything until I had my coffee..." I raised my mug up to my lips and drank the caffinated contents.

Siiiippppp....

"SURROUNDED BY A STUPID BITCH, AND A MORON!" I shouted angrily as they both were shaking in fear from my loud-ass voice. I sipped the contents dry from my mug, and slammed it to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"Fortunately, this coffee just saved your lives. While the coffee prevented me from doing an act such as ripping out your eyes, goggle them into fucking ping-pong balls, whilst all of you are blind and using them for card games and if I win I get to make you suffer the worst way possible a human can think of, but that was just so stupid. No, I'll do something worse. But killing, is a sin. I shall not kill you, but I will do a more logical response than killing unfortunate souls..." I widened my eyes as they turned into a piercing glare.

"I will vent on... something else. Maybe smash a couple things, maybe a mountain..." I turned my back and casually took the heavy ruler and left the cave.

"Don't think y'all are off the hook. Yun? Small chance of her being dead. Yan? Oh, definitely... Hope that I will forget about this and perhaps NOT kill you all..." I muttered about, and finally left the cave.

...

"Even though I became a normal person when my Dou-Qi is sealed, I finally found out how useless I am, and how... Scary it is to feel someone stronger than you..." Yun confessed as she held her shaking arms. Yan shrugged.

"He's not actually stronger. Well, he is a Dou Practitioner, he's just strong that way. Also terryifying, as you know..." Yan explained as he scratched the back of his head.

"You also saved me remember? You used your mouth to suck out the poison-" Yun blushed as she recalled the memory. Out of embarrassment, she whacked him to shut up.

"Don't even mention that..." She muttered, still embarrassed. Yan just rubbed his head on how painful it was.

"Duly noted... Anyways, the fear that you're feeling right now is just natural. I survived trying to survive against him for years!" Yan exclaimed as he awkwardly shrugged. Yun looked shocked as she imagined training from the scary man.

"No one is perfect. We all have our flaws, weaknesses, and strengths... Being useless doesn't mean anything. It's that everyone is just... different." Yan quoted, as Yun took a moment to ponder about it.

"Everyone's unique. We just have to deal with it. I prefer your true appearance right now!" Yan chuckled as Yun smiled.

CRA-CKLE!! BOOM!

Yan and Yun both jumped from the lightning bolt that struck to ground. It was far away, but very loud that made both of them jump in surprise. Yan paled as he heard a certain blazer-ed man's murderous screams of fury calling out from the lightning bolt.

"I just deal with it." Yan replied somberly, and Yun nodding in understandment.

...

As the clouds darkened and flashed with red sparks, a lone man was venting out his rage as coffee unfortunately changed his mind.

"RRRRRAAAAHHHGGGHH!!!!" Mark furiously smashed a large rock into pieces as he swung the lightning-infused Black Ruler around, which it crackled with Red Lightning.

[AN: I am not going near him... I'm out.]

BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!

As Red Lightning crackled and pulsed around Mark, he howled in fury as he repeadily smashed the ground multiple times, causing a small earthquake.

"Huu.. Huu..." Mark breathed out, slightly exhausted at the tantrum. Outbursts of rogue red lightning sparked out from his body as the ruler itself glowed red. His eye gleamed in red fire and crimson lightning as it sparked powerfully.

As he was about to smash the nearest non-living object he could find, he stopped when his senses were different then before. There was another person beside him.

A young boy...

"H-hello?..." A young male voice, filled with terror and fear called out to him. In a moment of silence, he slowly turned his face to the mysterious boy.

"A-are you... X-xiao y-yan?..." The boy stuttered out, terrified as Mark's soul piercing glare drove into the boy's spirit. Mark would've raised an eyebrow if it wasn't for his rage taking him.

"... Yes." Mark lied, as the boy would've mistaken him as Xiao Yan for using his signature Black Ruler. He needed to know who he was. Who would even go near a 1 Billion Volt-ed Powerhouse for any insane reasons at all?

"G-great....! My name... M-my n-ame..." The boy stuttered out, causing Mark to 'tch' and his eyes flashed with slight annoyance.

"I don't care... what is your fucking name!... What do you want?" Mark coldly demanded, menacingly stepping closer to the boy's terror. The boy shook in fear as the terror itself got closer.

"I-I... I just want to tell you something... important..!" The boy barely called out from the suffocating terror loomed upon him. Mark raised an eyebrow, tad bit curious of this new information.

"Carry on..." The boy breathed out a few hesistant breaths. Mustering up his courage, he faced the terror itself what it wanted.

"I may... sound crazy, but... I am... I know the future!" The boy mustered out, causing Mark to go silent for a moment. Mark nodded repeadily in understanding.

"You know the future?... The future..." Mark trailed off, causing the boy to sweat furiously. Either the young boy was a time traveller, or a...

"... I can't tell you that... But...! H-here me out, I can... help you..." The boy stated, causing Mark to raise his eyebrow. A proposition?

"Help me?..." He curiously replied, as the boy furiously nodded in agreement. After a moment of silence, Mark simply acted as what Yan would do.

"... Do I marry Xun-Er?..." Mark unexpectedly asked, as the boy blinked momentatily. The boy chuckled nervously as he gripped his mouth to shut up.

"Yes...NO! I can't tell you that!... Spoilers..." The boy explained, causing Mark to blink in confusion.

"... Spoilers?..." He asked cautiously to the quivering young boy. He stuttered, thinking that was the wrong answer, but Mark understood why.

"Why not?..." Mark asked again, giving a chance to explain the young boy what he meant. The young boy trembled in fear as he immediately answered.

"B-because- EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE IF YOU DON'T KNOW!.." The young boy immediately cupped his mouth in silence as he widened his eyes. Mark knew that the Butterfly Effect was a pain in the ass.

"... So, you can predict the future?" Mark stepped close to the young boy's area unexpectedly, trapping the young boy in fear. Mark leaned close to the young boy's ears.

"Then... Which one am I going to use? Left, or Right?" He whispered. "... What..?" The young boy replied out in confusion.

BAAAM!

"KKAAAHHH!" Saliva spat out from the boy's mouth as Mark's right fist drove into the boy's weak gut. As the boy doubled over in undescribeable pain, Mark furiously grabbed ahold of the boy's lungs and lifted his feets off the ground.

"Either you're a time traveller that used of what I must've invented a time machine... Or a reincarnator or transporter from Earth." Mark strangled the boy's lungs as he gasped for air.

"I'm fucking impatient right now. Tell me everything, or I'll squeeze your windpipes until you spill the beans... 𝑵𝑶𝑾!" Mark demanded out his inner darkness to the boy.

"Hahahahahaha..." He narrowed his eyes when the boy suddenly started chuckling and laughing for unknown reasons. The boy grinned as he faced him.

"You... think that you can... Order me around because you're powerful, weakling?..." The young boy chuckled out. Mark scowled as he tightened his grip around his fingers.

"You... killed my father... Just like you killed everyone else you loved..." Mark punched his face to knock him out. To his surprise, that only gave the boy a black eye.

"I haven't told you my name, haven't I?... I'm going to tell it anyways..." Mark widened his eyes as he lost his grip around the boy and furiously cursed himself. The boy grinned darkly as Mark coughed as his own windpipes were restricted by an invisible hand.

The young boy waved his arm to the ground in an introducing manner. "Allow me to introduce... Firstborn of the IT Father, Rightful and True Ruler of the Dou Continent: Lord Assainir!" Mark choked as he was lifted off the ground from multiple dark hands from the boy itself.

Assainir's grin widened as he took malignance in the pathetic yet pleasing sight. "This is what killed my own pathetic father?... How... confusing... HAHAHAHA!!! HOW FuN!" Cackling maliciously, he snapped his neck to face him.

"I wouldn't thought that you wouldn't be... so, ferocious, savage, vulgar, so WILD!!! I was hoping you would join my little expedition, but alas, quoi de neuf?... Hehehe..." Assainir laughed darkly as Mark struggled to escape.

"But... You are just a little pebble in my way. Pardon me, I shall use you as my stepping stone..." He tightened the strangling around Mark's neck as he struggled.

[AN: What fuck is happening here?!]

"Ah, yes. The liar, liar, pantz are on fier! The lie, lie, lie, AN... You've been a naughty boy, lying all the time..." Assainir waved his finger as he 'tsk tsk'-ed his mouth jokingly and humorously.

[AN: I didn't put you here! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU IN MY FANFIC?!]

"Such vulgar words, monsieur. Perhaps you need to... Clean yourself up!" Assainir cupped his mouth in mock shock as he grinned behind his hands and clenched his hands into fists.

Assainir dusted his hands and turns to the viewers. "Our rude fellow won't be bothering us tonight, ladies and gentlemen... So, enjoy the show." He grinned grimmly as he began bellowing in pain as he felt something was off.

"Wow. I didn't think I would hear the day that the Author would shut up... But that just made you even more dangerous, in'it?..." Mark dusted his pants as he cut through the dark energy hands with his spare kitchen knife.

Assainir glared as he spat out. "Such irony, as the boy cries wolf..." Mark scowled as he changed his backhanded grip on his knife.

"I'm starting to get sick of you. Why don't you just fuck off already? Die in a hole for all I care!..." Mark pointed the knife against Assainir, as it gleamed in red energy. Assainir grinned as he turned to his hand.

"I'm finishing what my own pathetic father couldn't start! By killing you, I will conquer the whole entire world of this-" VVVVRRRRRRIIIIIIIIINNNNN!!

9999999999

"You talk to much." Mark slashed a red knife towards Assainir's chest, as the world began to play 𝑴𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒐 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌. Assainir grinned in response as he touched the wetness of his cheeks.

"How FuN!" Assainir widened his eyes challengingly as he pointed and sent his Dark Energy Hands at Mark. Mark narrowed his eyes and flashstepped from the oncoming attacks.

MISS MISS MISS

"See how you get a load of these, asshole!" Mark pulled out his Deagle and fired at the grinning Assainir.

BANGBANGBANGBANG!

"How weak... Bullets?..." Assainir flicked the bullets away with a wave of his hand, harmlessly doing nothing at all. Mark 'tch'-ed as he crossed his middle finger and ring finger in his blazer.

"Hn. Let's see how effective these are." Crunchk! A surge of energy flowed within Mark's body as he tossed in a Qi-Accumulating Pill to his mouth. Sending out red energy blades from his knife, he sent them in Assainir's direction.

He frowned as he simply pushed his hand up. BOO-BOOM! Assainir was covered by multiple dark hands that blocked him from the attack, as the smoke cleared out.

"Is that the best you can do?..." He replied out, as- CRACK! Mark was already cracking the energy barrier with the red knife. SLLCK! Mark focused his Dou-Qi into the knife, lengthening the blade and to pierce it through Assainir.

"Ha. Foolish, weakling." Assainir grabbed on the blade shattered it into a million pieces. Mark stood disturbed as he was suddenly pierced by hundreds of dark energy pillars.

"An afterimage? Interesting..." Assainir smirked as Mark's pierced figure started to disappear into blurs of light. There, he stared at the heavily sweating Mark away from him.

"Tag! I'm it?!" Assainir cackled maniacly as he shot out multiple hands of darkness at Mark. Mark gritted his teeth and pulled out a second pill and swiftly dodged the attacks.

Assainir scowled. "I'm getting tired of you. So annoying, like a fly!" GRAB! Mark was slammed to the ground as he was caught by the legs. Clenching his fists, the hands of darkness clenched into fists and pummelled Mark to the ground until he turned to paste.

Assainir stepped closer to Mark's lying body as he stomped his legs. Suddenly, one of Mark's hands lifted itself and pointed a Deagle at Assainir's face.

BANG!

"U-uggh..." Mark struggled against the grip as blood ran on his forehead, busted lips, and multiple scars. Assainir looked unamused as he snapped Mark's wrist. Mark cried out in pain as he let the gun fall.

"Such toys are for children..." Assainir crushed the gun into pieces of junk and scrap metal as Mark watched hopelessly. He banged at Mark's head to the ground, causing Mark to bleed.

"Ah-ah-ah~ No candy for you...!" Assainir snatched one of his arms and forcibly stole the pill from Mark's prying hands. To add it, he slammed his elbow at Mark's arm and fractured it.

Muffled screams of pain were covered by the hands of darkness as Assainir sat casually at Mark's body. "I expected more... But I have a little naughty child sneaking candy and toys without my permission.." Assainir glanced and inspected the green pill and tossed it inside his mouth.

"Lemon Lime... I thought you had bad taste." Assainir faced, amused at the discovery.

CLAP! "Right, let's wrap this up before you do anything wrong. Nobody will miss you. Nobody else will love you. Because they're already... D-E-A-D." He started to chuckle and to laugh manaicly, but to stop as he noticed Mark was also laughing.

"What's so funny?!" He pulled on his ruined hairs to face Mark's torn and bloody face. Mark stood emotionless as he motioned his mouth. Assainir raised an eyebrow and leaned closer.

"I-I already said that once... Aren't you stupid, not to check before eating non-candy products?..." Mark whispered as he flashed a bloody smirk. An imploding pain spread throughout his chest as Assainir clutched his chest in pain.

"Expiry date's passed, asshole!" He decked Assainir with his already fractured arm, causing more pain from his arm. But he ignored it, treating it as another Tuesday.

"I-I c-can't breath! H-help me!" Assainir gasped for air as his lungs were out of his reach. The hands of darkness disappeared as the user weakened. Mark smirked darkly as he kicked the jaw of his face.

"E-xactly. Better focus at yourself than me." KKRRrrr...BAM! Mark sent out a right hook infused with red lightning at the face. Mark seethed out in silent pain as held his broken wrist. He may be extremely pain tolerant, but it didn't mean he felt the pain on his wrist!

"AND I forgot how to re-adjust a broken wrist again! Fuck it!" Gritting his teeth, he slammed the ground HARD and with a cry of pain, he forcibly (and unorthodoxly) re-adjusted his snapped wrist back into action.

CRACK!

"SON. OF. A. BITCH! OWWW!!" He stretched his fingers and his hand and clenched it. With a grunt, he pulled his other fractured arm out of the sleeves and hanged it on the two tied sides of the blazer.

He snapped his focus back at Assainir. As he scowled deeply to the point that multiple veins popped from his forehead, he bellowed in outrage.

"ENOUGH! I AM DONE PLAYING WITH CHILDREN!!!" A giant hand of darkness dug through Mark's gut as he was sent backwards, tumbling through the ground. With a cry of outrage, Assainir shot out multiple hands to entangle Mark.

"AARRRAAAAGHHHH!!" Mark felt huge agony, as he cried out in suffering as the life energy inside him was slowly and forcibly sucked out from the hands of darkness. Assainir smirked as his eyes showed a crazed psychopath.

"HAHAHAHAHAH!!! DID YOU rEaLLY ThOUGHt THaT YoU WErE THe ONLy OnE WHo HaD tRICkS UP tHEIr SLEEVEs?!" Assainir laughed as he continued to drain Mark's life energy.

"I BECAME STRONGER BY SUCKING THE LIFE ENERGY FROM THE WEAKLINGS!!! NOW YOUR POWER, IS MINE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

"UUUUUUUUGHHHH!!!!" Mark, with trembling hands, pulled out another gun from his blazer and shakily pointed at Assainir. Assainir grinned as Mark pulled the trigger.

BANG!

"IT IS FUTILE! ACCEPT YOUR FATE AND DIE!" The skin from Assainir's chest regrowed like cockroaches as Mark shot out another blast.

BANG!

"JUST DIE ALREADY~" Assainir cackled as Mark continued to point the gun at Assainir's- stomach. With a final glare, Mark pointed and pulled the trigger.

"Fuck you, asshole...!"

BANG!

"IT IS FUTILE, IT IS SIMPLY LAUGHABLE- HUH?!"

Green light flashed and expanded from Assainir's stomach as he bellowed out in agony, clutching his stomach in suffering. Mark scowled at the sight and retook the Dou-Qi from the hands.

Light covered all of their senses, all to a massive explosion.
