Chapter 3: Time is mess

I don't remember anything so far. What really happened? I just remembered a few things. One is that hot boys—I mean Adam. Second thing is that weird Yusuke. He is really weird. Did he already predict this outcome when he told me to step back a little bit with all accuracy? What happened to him?

I was thinking that I would wake up in a destruction havoc if I had survived or I would be waking in beautiful heaven.

I only heard a faint voice that was weird. Maybe I am coming back to my senses.

"Wake up, lazy head" a voice said to me.

Maybe a voice in my head is saying this.

"I can't believe that I got summoned by a girl," the voice complained.

Now even voices in my head start to complain and speak bad words about me. I am very unlucky now.

"If you don't wake up then I will kill you" he told me.

His voice is very masculine. Very killing voice. My eyes slowly start to open.

"Finally, snow white woke up" he said to me.

When I see his face. He was standing whereas I was lying on the street which was dyed in blood. Maybe it is my blood pool.

"W-wha-what?"

He is a very weird guy. He looks young. He has short unruly gray hair and brown eyes. He is wearing black tattered cloak over his weird…farmer brown dress. He is wearing black air filled trousers and black metallic shoes. Very knight time outfit. He looks like a cowboy with a style of European knight who stole money from the poor and gambled with that money.

"What a weakling" he said in a very arrogant tone.

I try to stand up. My body feels like it is hit by a top heavy attack.

"Who are you?" I try to ask him my question by ignoring my pain.

"You summoned me. Didn't you?" He asked me.

"I didn't"

"But I feel the mana connection from you" he said something which shocked me.

"How can I do that?!" Before I spoke up.

I realized something. My mana. There is something different in my body. My body feels a lot stronger than before like I can outrun even Speedster Boastz.

"I awakened my mana core! I can't believe it! My regeneration ability also improved!" I quickly jumped in excitement!

"This girl is weird," he muttered under his breath.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I see that there is a band over my hand.

"What's that? How did this thing get on my wrist?"

Suddenly, that band started a holographic projector type of video call.

A giant TV screen itself. After some connecting signal thing. The person who appeared on the screen is none other than that mysterious Yusuke.

"A-Oh! Finally, I am connected to the signal" he says on the screen.

"What type of sorcery is this?" The man beside me spoke.

Yusuke's eyes widened, "Woah-woah! Who are you? How did you get here?!"

"I thought that nowadays humans are intelligent but I don't think they are," he replied back.

"Wait! It can't be!," He then looked at me, "Hikari, you summoned a spirit from the yomi!" He exclaimed in happiness.

"Spirit?" I am all confused.

"Well-" before Yusuke can solve all the problems as usual. Connection got cut off.

"So, can we talk?" I then said to that man.

"My name is Kaizo and…" he stopped himself from saying anything.

"And?" I ask with curiosity.

"Nothing. I don't remember anything related to my past. So, I only know my present so far" he told me.

So, here we are. No information. I am stuck with an unknown guy who doesn't know himself. For me, he is unknown and for him, himself is unknown.

Suddenly, I hear gunfire. Wait! What?

Suddenly, he got in front of me and surprisingly…bullets didn't harm him. This is a grade 2 on mana arts.

Okay! Now, I am sure! You are confused about what is mana art grades or something like this bullshit. Okay, let's talk in detail.

So, as I already explained, in ancient times, the universe had a large amount of mana. But now, it is not.

So, awaken is mostly a difficult task and when you awaken then you are grade 1. At this level, basically, you are an athlete level human. Because, universe doesn't hold any mana anymore. People can't get to a higher grade in mana arts. But there is one more method which is called the soul devouring method.

As I already explained before about the concept on which mana core foundation works. So, you have to kill the people and devour their souls. By doing this, you can gain their powers, concept and existence under your soul. The only way to absorb the soul is that your soul should be high quality. It is a matter of quality here. If your soul is low level and it devours a high quality soul then that high quality soul would devour your soul. You can absorb an endless amount of the souls you want only if your mana core is that of high quality. So, there are many grades in mana arts. Grade 2 is when your mana core evolves to the point, your mana core quality becomes on the same level of that bulletproof Superman, maybe he could tank hits from multiple tanks and maybe a nuclear bomb.

Back to the story.

I look at the person who had fired at us. There are two soldiers.

They are wearing Khaki uniforms and wearing field caps. Wait! They also got a band on their arms. Red in color. Also, the fact is that on the neck portion of their uniform, they have three stars which means they are a superior private class. I look at the tall building where…flag in white and a red circle at the center…with many rays scattering in all directions.

"Imperial Japan"

Author Note!

Kaizo means hack as he is a bug in the whole story. Believe me, this story will get more weird.

Yes, world war II. Welcome to this world. Forgot Nazi! Embrace Imperial Japan!

The Khaki uniform was first introduced in Japan in 1904 which was based on an 1886 cotton uniform with a short jacket style!

Yes, I am referencing Superman. He was basically first introduced in 1939 as a hero who fought against Nazi. There are many heroes who fought against Nazi. Captain America is the best example as his enemies are also world war II ones.

Yeah. Speedster Boastz is actually a fictional runner. You can say he is faster than Usain Bolt by 1000M times!
