"What?" I said in confusion as I appeared back in my room and hastily looked outside the window to see that it was morning.
After seeing the clear blue sky, I hastily took out my phone to look at the time and it seems like one of my questions are answered. "24 hours, the loop is 24 hours back in time."
"Fuck, if the person can loop infinitely, then… shit!" I said as my vision went back to the black void again and saw that I was back in my room 24 hours back in time once more.
"SHIT! The person is gonna repeat it till when!?" I said as I hastily tried to look deep inside my soul to understand how the loop works and attempt to stop this person's attempt.
As I rapidly got sent back in time at a rapid pace with only a few seconds for each interval, I rapidly noticed how my soul seems to get affected by the loop so this power is also soul related?
But that doesn't matter, a week has already reverted back and it seems like the person has a goal in mind that I don't know.
"Shit! Where is the power of loop contained in my soul!? Can I even control the loop!?" I said as I tried to stop the loop but with the lack of knowledge, I can't even see the chance of myself controlling this loop so I threw away that hopeless idea in my mind and just tried to better my understanding of the loop.
As I looked around my room that rapidly reverts back in time with my location rapidly changing from either the bathroom, the dining room, my bedroom, my place rapidly changes but I could slowly feel how the loop somehow works.
It's like my soul is getting sent back in time and due to that, it's not actually the whole universe getting reverted but just my and the looper's soul, but maybe there are multiple loopers, and that further scares me more because they might be years ahead into the future and I only entered the loop very late.
"Shit, it's already 3 weeks" I muttered as I saw my parents looking at me in confusion as they saw that I said some random stuff but these few seconds should be enough time.
So with a steeled heart, I pointed my hand towards them as it rapidly inflated, and with a single blow, the whole section of the house my hands were pointing to exploded into a cacophony of blood and gore as my family died just like that.
With no remorse, I rapidly felt their Gifts entering my body and chuckled with a sad smirk.
"Sigh, it seems like I won't be able to revive them in the future because I already healed them… tsk," I said with a sad tear dripping down my eye as my soul got sent back in time once more and this time, I just let nature takes its course because I can't do anything right now but watch as the days go by each second.
And in just a few minutes, I appeared back in my bedroom and waited for another loop but it seems like the looper stopped his loop.
With a sigh, I looked at the calendar to see that it was a few weeks before the start of Hope Academy.
"Hope Academy… do they plan to join Hope Academy? Why would they stop just more than a week before the start of Hope Academy?" I muttered and sat down on the ground while rapidly thinking of reasons why they want to join Hope Academy.
Monsters, rifts… What if they have memories years ahead into the future!? What if they somehow received an item in the future that allowed them to go back in time!?
Shit! What about my future plans! I'm pretty sure I have become a notorious villain in the future so the looper must have a grudge against me!
But why would the looper want to join Hope Academy, wait… does he want to befriend some future allies that are the beacons of hope in the future?
That's plausible, maybe he could become friends with people who are powerful in the future.
But those are on the basis that he is a few years ahead into the future and the looper somehow gets sent back in time and received the power to loop.
What if they only recently received it? Then they will probably plan to also join Hope Academy because it's the number one school in the world… It might also be the number one rift caretaker in the future!
As more thoughts filled my mind that further scared me at how dangerous this looper might be, because the looper might be my enemy or my ally, I might be the greatest villain or greatest hero in the future which further blurs my vision from the truth.
"Fuck, how do I even find this looper guy… I know, if they are smart, they would want to have a source of income so money would be important… but what if money has no value in a few months? Sigh, so the only way of me finding them is by the time school starts again… but there are tons of students in Hope Academy, heck, the looper might be a student already which will make most of my theories false and they might have another reason they went back in time so much" I said while scratching my head in confusion.
"AKI! It's time to eat!" shouted my mother from downstairs as I got out of my annoyance.
"Coming!" I shouted as I decided to just wait for the start of school or more appropriately the start of the appearance of rifts and went downstairs.
"*Deep breath* I'll deal with this in the following days, what I need right now is to gather Gifts, start to expand my army, and deepen my roots in society" I muttered with a gleam in my eyes as this looper has put me into desperation that forced me to do some morally wrong things.
(A Few Hours Later)
Deep inside a forest a few kilometers away from Hope City, Aki could be seen coated in blood while a horde of books and bloody bunnies were beside him.
"H- ahahaha! I could control my chances of getting a skill book! How can I control that in the first place? The system seems to control something to give me exp and produce the chance of creating a skill book from nowhere, but I could directly control it so it means I could do this" I muttered and looked at the skill books beside me that came from the bunnies I stole from a pet shop owner who is already under my control.
"Well, let's not make these skill books go to waste" I muttered and used some skill books from the giant pile beside me.
[Akihiko Tanaka] [Title: ]
[Race: Human]
[Class: Hunter]
[Gift: Blessed Light Manipulation(Mythical) Healing Light(Epic) Blessing(Epic) Hardening(Epic) Teleportation(Epic) Shape Shift(Epic) Bug Manipulation(Epic) …]
[Body: D]
[Mind: B]
[Energy: S]
[Skills: Danger Sense(F) Rabbit's Swiftness(F) Rabbit's Strength(F) Rabbit's Vigor(F) Rabbit's Senses(F)]
"Five new skills just like that, so these are all the skills I could get from a bunny. Danger sense is a really useful skill so that's great" I muttered and looked at the pile of dead rabbits beside me with a cold gaze.
"So skills won't be a problem for me in the future with this new ability of mine, skills will be easier to rank up but Gifts will still overpower them in terms of versatility. Well, goodbye rabbits" I muttered as a ball of light appeared in my hand that went on to swallow the pile of dead rabbits whole with the only thing left was burnt grass.
"Yawn, as long as I could find the looper everything should be fine, but that's hoping for the best, I should instead expect for the worse" I muttered and within a blink, I appeared at the outskirts of Hope City as my teleportation's proficiency has rapidly risen in just a day.
With a casual walk back home, I passed by a stray cat who looked at me with a nod as I just ignored it and continued walking home with a yawn.
"I'm home!" I shouted towards my family as I saw that it was about time for dinner.
"Oh, welcome back honey, go sit now, it's time for dinner," my mother said as I nodded and sat down on a chair while she shouted for Shiro to come down.
As we soon all sat in the dining room, we ate in peace as a happy family, but what they didn't notice was a person slipping into the room behind them as they were all knocked unconscious.
"Proceed" I muttered with a cold gaze as the person wearing a full black suit that covers their body went to touch each of my family's heads, I knew this is needed, it might be evil, but if evil is subjected to the views of humans, then it isn't really evil.
"Good job, progress on your new gifts?" I said towards the person.
"It has been going well sir," the person said as I nodded.
"Well go on now, you may rest with your family so we don't burden your body too much," I said as the person nodded and jump out of the window and disappeared into the darkness while my parents regained their consciousness.
"So Aki, how did your training go?" asked my mother as she proceeded as if nothing has happened.
"It's been going well, I think I should be able to enter Hope Academy easily enough," I said with a smile as we proceeded to eat our scrumptious dinner as a happy, loving family.
AN: This is 1653 words, you're welcome.
I fucking hate myself, like this is just the tip of the iceberg funnily enough. The worldbuilding I made is insane and so bullshit you won't even believe its real, like how the fuck does that work!? But everything important is connected due to my massive fucking brain, I'm literally juggling two different storylines in one novel because of something secret, the one is this written one and the other unwritten but its there in the back of my mind constantly growing into this unwritten coherent story line on what TGOH could have been if not for the certain set of events that happened in that storyline that led to this written one.
But beside that, you cumming now readers who like Evil MC? Yep, we're going semi evil now because I still need a big wide net to catch them all, and by all I mean every type of readers, too much evil will cripple me, I need to balance it so that his evil actions are viewed as acceptable because I don't want to get send to the shadow realm, I'm not contracted so netnovel could fuck me in the ass if they want to.
The Sword of Damocles hangs above each and everyone one of you with its ever present threat of despair, so send me some power stones with your power of friendship and save the thousands perhaps even millions to come who will read this masterpiece immortalized in the tunnels of time.
