In a flaming world, plants are charred and blackened, rivers flow with lava, and a clawed skeleton hand reaches out of the lava. Their skin starts regenerating from the tips of their fingers as they pull themselves up. Satoshi then reveals himself out of the lava. Half of his body regenerates in a charred state, with a hole in his chest where he was stabbed. Chains are wrapped around his wrists and neck. The only thing on him is black pants. Satoshi begins speaking, "That went exactly as expected. I'm now in hell as planned. Now I can start the next phase of my plan. I need to get a specific artifact, and then I might as well take over hell while I'm here."
Two demons spot him and start walking towards him. "This poor soul. He was unfortunate to run into us first. We'll make sure to show him how things work around him," one of the demons said. He launches towards Satoshi, shattering the ground with the amount of force he launched forward with. He raises his fist in the air. He then stops, his fist one inch away as Satoshi's hand goes through the demon's head. He closes his hand and rips the demon's head off and throws it into the lava, along with the body. The other demon runs at Satoshi, enraged.
"Is that supposed to be rage?" Satoshi says. He lifts his hand. "Fekah's kbonahk." A trident made of black and red flames instantly forms in Satoshi's hand and pierces the demon. He lifts the demon in the air. "I've seen better." He dips the trident into the lava and burns the demon before cancelling the spell, causing the demon to sink into the depths. "I expected demons to be better. I guess only the strong ones actually go to the surface," he says. He starts walking around. As another two demons spot him.
"This poor soul. He was unfortunate to run into us first. We'll make sure to show him how things work around him," one of the demons says. He launches towards Satoshi, shattering the ground with the amount of force he launched forward with. He raises his fist in the air. Satoshi raises his hand in the direction of the demons and does a shortened incantation
"Aebks fmopaf," rock spikes pierce both of the demons. "What are these damn NPCs? They say the exact same things and do the same move." He walks a bit more. As he finally sees a street. An arrow points in the direction of a town with no distance, and he starts walking there. In the distance, he sees other non-demon beings wandering around off of the path. He keeps walking down the path until he runs into another two demons.
"This poor soul, He was unfor-" they try to say before Satoshi quickly kills them with ease. He sighs out of annoyance. He continues to walk down the path. He continues running into demons till he has finally had enough. He begins chanting as a magic circle forms in front of him. "O refk ksof fmay zoks ksire muzab ul lobire. Yak ksire nafkirkovire lyedire ruhfidire di meks: Lyedire Moyyeb." A giant beam of flames shoots out, completely eviscerating that path and any demons that might have been on it. He peacefully walks until he gets to the town. The time it took him is unknown due to there being no sense of time, but it was about a 29 thousand kilometer walk from when he launched the attack. A small portion of the town is destroyed by his attack despite being so far away, but he doesn't notice. He walks up to the gate as guards block him.
"You surface dwellers aren't welcome in this town. Leave NOW," One of them says. Satoshi ignores them and keeps walking. The guards both pull out their swords and swing down on Satoshi. He simply lifts his arm and blocks the attacks with ease.
"There's so much mana here that I'm starting to regain my strength with ease," Satoshi says. With one swing of his arm, he shatters both swords and cuts both of the guards in half.
The guards fall onto the ground. One of the guards looks up as blood streams from the edges of his mouth. "What the hell are you?" the guard mutters before he dies.
Satoshi continues walking into the city, completely ignoring the guards that now lay on the ground, dead. A smile grows across his face as he walks further into the city. He looks up at a castle in the center of the city. He puts his hands in his pockets as the people walking past stare at him. He begins to laugh. "It's time; let the games begin."
A magic circle forms in a forest as Dai'chi teleports there. "I don't really have much of anything to do now. I could go back to doing bounties, but that seems boring." He looks up at the sky and starts thinking back to the battle. "I used to think that I could easily beat anyone; I guess I was wrong." Dai'chi walks out into a small clearing. He opens a small dimensional storage opening. Out of it, he pulls a regular katana. "I have that crystal I got from the lab that I could use to make a better sword, but what good is a strong sword if I can't use it properly?" He holds the sword out in front of him and raises it. With a swift motion, he swings the sword down, causing a gust of wind. The leaves on the trees around him shake. When nature settles down around him, he begins to speak. "I need to go back to the basics, forget everything I currently know about the sword, and start from zero." He raises the sword up above his head again and swings down, "1". He swings down again, "2". And again, "3".
