As I looked at their status, the looper seems to be lucky again as he quickly dismisses his window preparing for the oncoming horde already, well it doesn't matter, I'll still kill him along with the rest of the students and increase my power to a ridiculous degree in a few minutes from now.
"What is that!" shouted one student as we all looked outside the window to see the first rift with the orcs just like last time while I secretly sighed inside my mind on how many times I will have to redo this all over again.
"HOLY SHIT! THOSE ARE ORCS!" I shouted with wide eyes as orcs started to spew out of the rift in front of us while our classmates started to panic.
"W- what do we do!" shouted a student.
"Aki! Zoran! Do you think we could take care of those orcs!" shouted Sora as he looked at us with determined eyes.
"Are you insane!" shouted Zoran with wide eyes.
"There's no time to think! Many will die if we don't move now!" said Sora as he tightened his fist.
"Tch! How do we go down there!" shouted Zoran as he looked outside with a gleam in his eyes as a special aura of a hero donned on him as if he became something much more with that simple decision.
"You up for the task Aki!" said Sora to me with a smile as I sighed.
"Let's do this!" I said as my eyes glowed yellow.
"LET'S GO!" shouted Sora as he grabbed us from the waist preparing to launch up while I glance behind me to see Jong-ga looking at us with a glow in his eyes as if he witnessed something special.
(Jong-ga POV)
'T- the beacons of Hope, I- I can't believe they were like this since the start' thought Jong-ga with wide eyes as he bites his lips at how different the trio was compared to him, they were so… special that it just brings a sense of awe towards the trio who were willing to fight for others.
'I- I can do this! I know I can become just like them! I need their help and they need mine! If not… it will be just like last time' thought Jong-ga as resolve fueled his mind and he opened his mouth just before the trio fly off into the battlefield.
"W- wait! I can help you guys!" shouted Jong-ga as he stopped Sora from jumping out as the trio looked at him with curious eyes.
"You sure? You know we could die right?" asked Akihiko Tanaka towards him as he chuckled at what Akihiko just said, death might as well be something no one should fear as long as Akihiko Tanaka was in the world.
"I'm sure," I said with serious eyes as the trio nodded at him.
"Get on my back, hold tight!" shouted Sora as I nodded and got on his back, and with that, I watched him kick the window open and jumped out towards the battlefield as the wind fluttered our hair.
'I'm really doing this!' thought Jong-ga with steeled eyes as he prepared for their crashlanding but he saw something he wouldn't expect in all his life.
"Ha!" shouted Akihiko who was dangling on Sora's grip as they were grabbed by a hand of light which greatly surprised Jong-ga.
'W- what!? How does he have this power so early!' thought Jong-ga in shock as they landed safely on the ground and got out of Sora.
"Well, see you guys on the battlefield," said Sora as Jong-ga watched him jump towards the horde of monsters full of gigantic insects and monstrous beasts with each of his blows killing more than one with each hit.
"Good luck you two," said Zoran as two guns appeared in his hands and rushed towards the rifts.
"Good luck Jong-ga!" said Akihiko as light constructs appeared all over the battlefield with some shooting towards students that healed and even empowered them as his iconic presence has descended upon the battlefield with unrivaled healing and support prowess with his capability of attacking being no joke.
As Jong-ga look at those three decimating the monsters with each of their attacks even though they were still young, his eyes gleamed in resolve to become just like them and perhaps become even better than them.
After one last glance at his status, he took a deep breath and look at the monsters in front of him.
[Kim Jong-ga] [Title: Looper]
[Race: Human]
[Class: Hunter]
[Gift: Analyze(Mythical) …]
[Body: B]
[Mind: B]
[Energy: B]
[Skills: ]
With a grin, he's eyes glowed with a crimson glow as he muttered, "I'm not the same as before, I'll be the next beacon of hope and save this world from destruction, even if I need to die a countless amount of times."
He soon rushes into the fray while a red sword suddenly appeared in his hand out of nowhere while dodging all of the attacks of the oncoming monsters like a certain character from a certain anime who have tons of transformations that could even rival those of bosses with tons of phases.
As if Jong-ga can see everything, he dodges every attack that went toward him while accurately hitting all of the monster's weak spots with his sword that was a wee bit suspicious with how sharp it was, and that wasn't even the end from the surprises he brought.
Out of nowhere, he grabbed the neck of a troll in front of him with his fingers turning sharp that pierce through the neck of the troll while tons of blood directly flowed through his body as his eyes glowed more crimson.
"Now I'm not that weak cannon fodder from before, now I'm the next beacon of hope!" said Jong-ga as blood started to gather all around him that becoming blood weapons ranging from swords to guns as 4 students went on to raze the battlefield.
One was a man who decimated hordes of monsters with each punch, one was a boy who brought destruction with his arsenal of modern and magical weapons with adverse explosions happening all around the area, one was a being of light that brought help towards his fellow classmates while decimating the monsters with his light constructs, and the last one was a being of blood that was a little bit like a vampire in some aspects with his pale white skin and crimson eyes.
After a while, everything seems to be going fine as Hope also appeared after a few minutes.
'Sigh, even Hope wasn't saved by Akihiko, by that point, Hope is guaranteed to die if even Akihiko can't save him. But there is still his successor' thought Jong-ga as he looked at Sora who was fighting side by side against Hope as they kept decimating monsters left and right.
"Sigh, with Hope, they might have been able to defeat that being" muttered Jong-ga while sucking the blood of another being as his muscles swelled up in power.
"Just a little bit more kiddos! Only a few rifts are left!" shouted Hope in the distance as he realized there were no casualties at all and sighed in relief as he was able to keep all Hope Students alive, that means more people who can potentially help against that being.
'Sigh, with my strength right now, I wouldn't even be able to see him, much less kill him' thought Jong-ga as he suddenly heard the shout of Akihiko in the distance.
"JONG-GA!" shouted Akihiko in the distance as he looked at him confuse until he suddenly felt something chomping his whole body from the leg up as his vision suddenly blacked out and he instantly knew what happened.
"I- I died?" said Jong-ga as he appeared inside a normal bedroom.
(Akihiko Tanaka POV)
As I looked at Jong-ga in the distance who surprised me a bit with his ability to control blood as I have a similar Gift like that in my arsenal which is called Vampire Physiology(Legendary) which I got from a random person a few weeks ago, and it's surprisingly powerful as it has tons of utility like blood manipulation, blood empowerment, and I'm not even affected by the sun as it seems like it being at Legendary rank takes away that weakness.
But I didn't care about that, all I know is that everyone inside this campus has been healed by me once including Hope and Sora, so with a grin, I pointed my finger towards Jong-ga in the distance while activating my power.
"JONG-GA!" I shouted while I revived a giant wolf behind him while also healing him in the same moment as his whole body got eaten by the beast and just before that happened, I activated the kill switch for everybody inside the campus as my careful planning has finally led to this one single moment, with a grin, everyone inside the campus died in a split second and plop down to the ground with their lifeless body including the all-powerful Hope with my power rising at a ridiculous degree as I wore a manic grin when I reappeared back inside my bedroom and felt my soul rapidly getting stronger.
"HAHAHA! IT FUCKING WORKED!" I shouted as my body felt like exploding from the rapid mutations that started to happen with extra limbs, toes, fingers, wings, physiologies ranging from real to mythological soon encumbered my body but I didn't care as the power I felt made me grin as I gained a huge power boost from that simple plan without dampening my other plans by mindlessly killing a school full of talented students.
"*Chuckle*, with the plan now finally completed, it's time to finally go forwards in time and get past that certain day and see what lies beyond it in the new era of rifts and monsters" I muttered while having a deformed body that was a bit eldritch looking which quickly reshaped itself as I went back to my Aki form.
AN: This is 1678 words, you're welcome.
If I don't derail my previous plans, many of you will probably love Jong-ga in the future, he's already a developed character at this point from his vague POV and I will of course slowly reveal his past to the occasional change in POV but holy fuck, he developed well once you read his past, but that's not the end of his character development that's for sure.
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.
