Chapter 1 - First Fall

One day there was this huge wave of energy that spread across universe, causing a huge disruption. Some powerful beings happened to feel the immense amount of energy, so anomalies across the world came to our planet which is protected by Tar so anything that tries to come into our planet would not be able to. unless you could just warp into the planet. Portals open which the Hunters have to close and destroy. These portals are commonly called Dungeons. In a special case, there would be a tower that is created for the Hunters to clear. The towers are much more dangerous then Dungeons. Being in the towers makes time move differently. Days in the towers could be hours in the real world.

Sasaki woke up to his alarm blaring for him to get up too

As Sasaki slowly woke up, he stared out his window like as if he remembered something

"According to my parents, when me and my brother were born, the whole world shook, which was very hard too believe at the time. Because, how does a newborn have that much mana?"

"But later on i realized that people could use magic due to something within ourselves called Essence."

"I slowly learned to control magic. but due to my essence not being able to conjure anything, i had to use a lot of mana to even use outer space level powers at such a young age."

"My brother had the same problem, but since he had been born first, his mana capacity far surpasses mine."

"I live in the country side even though the kingdom is huge"

A small white-haired boy with a big grin on his face

"hey Shigura!" Said Sasaki

A small but fierce look from a boy with silver-hair

"what?" Said Shigura

"lets fight to see who's stronger" Sasaki

"Alright, just don't get hurt" Shigura

"He then preceded to absolutely destroy me during our mock battle, but it was expected that he would win since he has more strength behind his attacks."

"I also have a sister, but i rarely see her, but whenever i do she usually does something nice, i don't think mother or father ever told me sisters name, but i heard that she's a really strong sorcerer who could control all types of magic. i wanted to control more magic too, but i couldn't."

"Whenever i tried to ask my parents about my essence, they would just brush it off saying things like"

"you just haven't unlocked its full power yet!" or "your Essence is just extremely special."

"I didn't believe them at first, until i turned 5 years old."

A white-haired boy waking up from what seems to be a good sleep

As Sasaki wakes up and yawns, out of nowhere a bright light started to surround Sasaki 

And then he falls down onto the floor

Thud

"Ow!. what the hell was that?" Sasaki yelled

The sound of Sasaki falling down made the Palace Guards rush up to see what happened

After they rushed up to help Sasaki, a huge blinding light started to form, but if i didn't react quickly it would have destroyed the entire place.

Sasaki's energy was completely depleted and he could barely move. as Sasaki dragged his weak body back to the kingdom, everything went black. He woke up to his brother carrying him back to the Kingdom.

He wondered to himself, "how far did i get pushed away?" he then passed out due to the lack of energy.

Sasaki woke up to the sounds of crackling fire and a warm presence, As he slowly opened his eye. He saw a glimpse of a small silver haired girl, with her warm eyes looking down at him, but with a faint cold touch that felt soothing.

Then he shot back to life, only to see his older sister, and he was laying down on her lap. She said with a soft voice "are you okay sasaki?. you look pale"

"My sister, a elf woman who has long silver hair."

As she fiddled with my hair i asked. "where is Shigura?" she responded saying that he is in his room probably asleep. 

"hey sis" said Sasaki

"yes saki?" she replied

"what's your name?" Sasaki asked

As she softly giggled. She said "its a secret" with a small smile on her face as she made a silence signal over her lips.

After that incident I found out that I was definitely not your average kid, my parents had to seal off my essence until I learned to control It.

On a random day, something spoke to me.

As Sasaki was casually walking in the city of Volgsina.

"Hello there Young Master!, care for the top selling toy?" Toy Man asked

"Sure!, how much for two?" Sasaki asked

"Usually its 20 bronze coin for each. so ill make a deal and you can get two for 25. how bout it?" Toy Man said

"yeah, thanks" Sasaki replied

As Sasaki was walking he then felt great power surge upon him

Thump, following up with a sharp gasp from Sasaki. "what the..."

coughs out blood.

As he was slowly crouching onto the ground i asked myself "what the hell is happening to me?"

I started to see quick flashes of light of a mysterious person holding two daggers with fire everywhere, and dead corpses that seem to never end.

Then a great burst of wind engulfs the entire forest with Sasaki floating unconsciously.

As Sasaki hovers above, he was pulled in to the Dream world. Then a voice spoke

"I Am The Coalescent"

"you are my successor, Sasaki Oyuki"

"A great terror will come back soon. The Calamity, you must stop its Incarnation before its too late"

"wait!. how do i-" Sasaki then gets cut off by his brother, and comes back to conscious

 "you good bro?" Shigura asked

"yeah... i'm fine" Sasaki replied

Thump. Thump. Thump. Sasaki's heart started to beat quicker every second, his breathing became quick.

He then slowly looks up at his brother with fear and nervousness. Shigura upon seeing this, crosses his arms in confusion in why Sasaki seems so scared. Then Sasaki tries to kill Shigura.

Slash!

He cut Shigura's stomach open

"..." 

With a surprised look on his face, he slowly looks down at his stomach seeing blood everywhere.

"the hell was that for... Sasaki!?" Shigura yelled

As Shigura groans in pain Sasaki realizes what he's done then rushes over to his brother.

"Shigura!" "I'm so sorry, i don't know what prompt me to do tha-"

"DONT. BE. FOOLED" popped up in my head.

"if you wish for the world to prosper, you must eliminate all that stand in your way."

"I'm so confused, what's happening to me?"

"i don't want to hurt anyone..."

Shigura stood up giving Sasaki his hand.

"Get up. little brother."

everything around me seemed to stop.

silence took over.

"I'm sorry for hurting you brother!"

Shigura softly grins at Sasaki.

"don't worry bro, i'll protect you"

"so wake up"

"Huh?"

A soft voice that seemed unfamiliar, but soothing at the same time. a soft voice of a girl

"wake up, Redacted."

As Sasaki slowly starts to get up. He looks around seeing tons of broken trees.

"w-what... happened"

Shigura cautiously walks away from Sasaki as if he was scared.

"Who the hell are you..."

Shigura says with a hint of fear.

"What are you talking about?, its me. your brother"

As Shigura backs away from Sasaki, He looks back at the Kingdom of Volgsina

Fire everywhere. The entire Kingdom was destroyed.

As Shigura turned to look at me one more time, he mouthed something that i couldn't hear. He then ran off and i never saw him again.

I was left there, with the burning Kingdom, the largest Elf kingdom. was destroyed, by me

As everything is burning, we see a glimpse of someone holding up, what seems to be a "Star" like object that emits far and wide. 

A man in a cloak was walking down a city road near street shops, but then bumped into someone

"hey watch where your go-"

As he turns to confront the man then backs away in fear looking at the overflowing mana

"oh I'm sorry i wasn't paying attention" said the cloaked man

"The person seemed to have seen my mana capacity and froze in shock" Said the cloaked man

Snatch

"huh" cloaked man

"come with me, trust" kid

teleports.

A dark place with a table with two other people.

"huh, who's this kid?" Says a man with glasses

pressure.

"who is this guy!?" 

coughs. 

"you got a name kid?"

"mm. My name is Sasaki Oyuki"

he says as he takes of his hood.

"someone has taken interest in me."Sasaki

sees elf ears.

"woah, your an elf!" says a short girl.

I slowly nodded in affirmation

trembling.

"d-did, you say... Oyuki!?" the man with glasses exclaimed

"wasn't the entire elf kingdom destroyed"

sighs.

"were basically talking to a myth" he whispers to himself.

"uhm quick question, why am i here?" Sasaki

"eh!. we kidnapped him!" the short girl shouted

"our sincerest apologies sir!" said Glasses

"why so formal?" Sasaki

"where are my manners... Let me introduce myself. I am Saru Yesei apart of the Yesei Technology Workers." A tall pale dude with glasses that look like there from the future, and equipment decades ahead of regular tools, and a smug look on his face at all times.

"hi!, I'm Yuri Keneshi, head of Keneshi Clans Agent!" she said with a stunning grin on her face, long black hair with short pony tails on both sides with a ribbon attached and dark blue eyes like the night sky.

"Hello, I am Kaito Arasane. Youngest Son of The Arasane Clan." said the Black haired boy. he has calm demeanor, eyes that look dead. and a cold stare that never leaves.

"well this is great, but uh. why am i here again?" Sasaki

"Kaito. why did you bring him here?" Saru

"because, i sensed something" Kaito

sigh.

"This boy always causes trouble" Yuri

"like your one to talk" Saru "your no better then Kaito"

"excuse my rudeness, anyways i see that you are an adventure, want to join our Guild?" Saru

"What's the name" Sasaki

"How about Crusaders Guild" Saru

Sasaki reluctantly agreed to this offer

"sure why not" Sasaki replied

birds chirping, soft winds, outside in a grassy hill, there under a tree, A boy lying down, eyes closed, hair flowing in the wind.

A few months passed when i first joined this party of hooligans. I learned that Saru is the captain, and his ability to control and create any technology is extremely useful in some cases.

Yuri is a energetic girl who thinks only the good outcomes, in other words, she's very optimistic.

on the other hand, we have Kaito. he always makes sure every move of his is perfect. and he's very aware of his surrounding. his ability to manipulate ice like a Master Class magic arts user, amazes me.

then we have me. Sasaki, hiding away his abilities because he could accidentally destroy whole kingdoms with a swift movement. At that time, i still didn't know what the origins of my powers were.

when i tested it at The Reader. It only said Abomination. It says that its my essence which kind of explains why I'm not able to control anything normal. otherwise, i possibly could be a prodigy like my sister. 

sighs.

"I'm nowhere near anything like my sister" Sasaki

"hm? did you say something Oyuki" 

"oh it was nothing!" 

the scenery changes to a training ground, pillars all around,

clash.

"your pretty good Saru"

"yes same goes to you Oyuki" 

Saru then charges up his attack, and dashes towards me

glowy effect.dashes.

"Core Slash!" 

Sasaki effortlessly dodge his attack and grabbed his skull then slammed it into the hard concrete floor.

weave. smashes head.

"your going to have to be faster then that dude" sasaki

grunts. "give me a break-" Saru

Before he could finish that sentence, Sasaki lunged towards him with a flurry of attacks

barrage of slashes. "going to have to try harder then that if you want to land a hit on me" Saru

As he said that, Sasaki had disappeared from his sight in the midst of taunting him, moreover he was behind him.

Flashstep.

gasp. slashes.

He then tried parry Sasaki's attacks, but as he tries to, Sasaki had already went out of range once more.

"right here" Sasaki taunted

He turned around to attack but he missed.

 turns.

"missed me" 

Sasaki then kicked him to the ground

kicks. "i give up" Saru

"what. come on Saru" Sasaki

"your going to hard on me" 

sigh. "fine..." "Kaito. time for training" "coming sir"
