"Where am I?"

"Did I win?"

"I wished the end of everything to stop my suffering"

"I knew that I was being controlled, like a marionette on strings"

"But for what reason? For entertainment? A story?"

"I would rather not exist than to be just a character in someone else's story"

"So, I wished for everything to end"

"My powers are gone. My abilities are deleted. My items are destroyed"

'No more fighting and suffering"

"No more puppet master and no more scaling of powers"

"I'm happy... Now I can finally rest peacefully"

"..."

"Nothing's left right?"

"Yeah, since everything has come to an end, not even nothingness exists. All concepts has been destroyed and no existences are still breathing"

"..."

"Hm?"

"But why am I still conscious?"

"I should not have the capability of thought if I'm gone?!"

"Where am I?!"

"Did I win?!"

"I wished the end of everything to stop my suffering!"

"I knew that I was being controlled, like a marionette on strings!"

"But for what reason? For entertainment? A story?!"

"I would rather not exist than to be just a character in someone else's story!"

"So, I wished for everything to end!"

"Wait... I just went on a loop"

Perpetual agony

"Is this supposed to be the end of the end?!"

Unlimited pain

"This isn't what I wanted!"

Limitless anger

"Get me out of here!!! The ending is fake! There is no end!"

Infinite torture

"The Absolute Wish is a lie!!!"

Continuous struggle

"I'm sorry! I should have never trusted anything!!"

Endless torment

"LET ME OUT!!!"

Eternal horror

"..."

Despair

"..."

You should have never tried to reach me and tried to end everything. You know that I'll keep using you until my own despair vanishes

Now, go back to where you came from and start from scratch once again. There are still more threats than you can imagine. Stop being selfish and think about everyone around you, you're not the center of everything because there are countless of centers everywhere

I suggest that you care for your loved ones because they cared too much for you, even without the Shard of Love

Besides, you have that "one" power that you received from the Original Body. You'll get your chance again

I am not your enemy nor ally. I only dictate what you can do and what you can't do. Without me, you're powerless even with Fate and Omega

...

It's time... Wake up and think more of your life. Don't try to end it too fast

~~~

"You're my son so you should always follow my orders!"

"He's been chosen by Fate!"

"I'm the Headmaster and this is..."

"Philip!!!"

"I don't want you to go"

"You're interesting... I like you"

"Master Philip"

"Do you love me?"

"Let's play a game!"

"Hathathat! Fascinating!!!"

"Who or what are you?!"

"Mortal! Why are you a Fate Controller?!"

"Thank you..."

"I will train you"

"S...ave... h...e...r..."

"Are you mocking me?!"

"Little brother!!! It's finally nice to meet you!"

"Who are these people to you? They're insignificant"

"This is the summoned guardian"

"I'm the Omega King"

"My name's Emily..."

"Whatever you want, it's your choice"

"It destroyed the universe except for Earth! It will now destroy the Infinite Globes and The One"

"Life and Death..."

"Corruption and Extremity?"

"A God that takes advantage of everything?!"

"Phoenix Might"

"The particle that can destroy anything"

"You left all of us for your seaech of power... We'll be leaving too, you're all on your own"

"Don't worry, you have us and we'll follow you all the way until the end"

"The left hand of God..."

"They are the guardians that protects the symbols... We're in trouble"

"You still have me... I love you till the very end"

"She's only a cap that covers the hole of your heart... She doesn't even have a physical body!"

"Is... That... Your opposite?!"

"Philip!!!! Nooooo!"

"Get a hold of yourself! Don't loose control!"

"A tournament that grants the winner an Absolute Wish?"

"Use the sword!"

"I wish to end everything and that this story will never continue anymore"

"As I said... It's not over, there are still more threats that are stronger than you can imagine"

A boy opened his crusty eyes. He smelled horrible that his nose almost crumpled the moment he tried to inhale due to the shortness of breath and uncanny nervousness and agitation

He breathed heavily and tried to catch his breath despite the polluted and contaminated air that he inhales everytine he breathe

His ears slowly regained the sense of hearing and he could hear engines roaring and boosters picking up energy

He looked around and saw himself lying down on a pile of rotten garbage that has been infested by flies, rats, and worms in an isolated alleyway that isn't passed by anyone

He felt itchy and he looked at his body

His bony and skinny body slowly inflated, like his body is reverting back to his healthy self. The worms that were feasting on his organs instantly died and crawled out of the holes on his body

His muscles regained its mass and his organs were repaired. All of his diseases, disabilities, and malfunctions were healed and removed

Slowly but surely, he regained his sense of sight. The blurry vision became clearer and clearer

A few minutes later, his dead body became one of the healthiest body in the world. His breathing soon relaxed and the smell of the garbage disappeared because of the blue mist swirling around him

He then looked up and so a high rise building directly in front of him. He confirmed that he is in the middle of a very tight alleyway that is surrounded by tall buildings

It was dark, but the light from the blue sky slightly illuminates the alleyway. He could also see flying machines, resembling cars and spaceships flying across the sky. There are even glowing lines passing through the sky

He then looked to his right because wind blew powerfully that it picked up light trash, leaves, and papers

He looked at the direction of the wind because it was unusual for wind to be blowing in this alleway

It was then that a large piece of paper flew with the wind and conveniently landed upright next to him, enough for him to read

[News]

[Date: January 6, 2100]

[HEADLINE: World Power Games (WPG) starts in a week! Will your representative country be able to win and get to keep their Power Holders? Find out all the Power Holders and learn the powers they possess in page...]

[A.E.I.O.U. (Aether - Enigma - Inoscensia - Overworld - Underworld) has peacefully signed the contract for the approval of the WPG]

He just looked at the news paper with no emotions and casually read it. It was then that a plastic bag containing a wrapped sandwich and a water bottle conveniently dropped next to the paper out of nowhere

He wasn't surprised and rested his head backwards. He then closed his eyes and took a nap

At this moment, visions from the past flooded his mind and replaced the empty parts on his memories and heart
