Noticing that nothing except us was moving, I asked what he did.

"I did something very fucking dangerous and stupid. Anyway, what I did was I condensed our mana into a small sphere and sent it all to our brain to speed up our thinking speed, the problem is that if we do at least one mistake we could become cripples, I'm praying that your luck will guide me, and also, don't fuck up" He seemed stressed and in pain, while I was confused about a lot of the stuff, but I was thankful that he would risk so much, just for my family.

"It's not like I did it for myself, I just didn't want you to get broken..." Blaze's sentence gave me only one thought, 'What a Tsundere,' but it seemed that he couldn't clearly read my mind and luckily didn't hear what I thought.

"Okay, so what's the plan?" I asked, looking that he wasn't talking and seemed entirely focused on something.

"Huh? Ah, you'll have to fight the corruption, while I try to keep our minds from collapsing. But, do note that we are definitely not ready for this and try not to get hurt too much as it could cripple us." He looked confused. It seemed that he talked to himself and didn't notice that he wasn't actually talking.

"What's going to happen there? And also I need weapons" He looked at me, and it seemed that it took him a whole minute to react to what I said.

"You will have to enter the corruption and fight it in your or mine twisted versions of memories. And for weapons... it will depend on the memories, while one could have you kill the other could have you concurring them." After that, he went into a bit more depth about the difficulties that I may face, and even he told me to trust no one, not even my parents. He also warned me not to get attached to that world of memories and not be a hero. Finally, after warning me of everything he could think of, he told me to enter the corruption blob.

"Wait! How much time do I have?" I asked, hoping that I would have a lot of time.

"Five days, maybe a one and a half weeks. It seems like too little, but it isn't, try to at least get rid of 70% before the deadline, and don't forget to make a plan to save your mom." As he said that, I smiled and got ready to enter the corruption.

Entering the corruption, I noticed that I was teleported(?) on a bed, it seemed familiar, but it wasn't mine. After a few moments, I noticed that the body wasn't mine, although it did look familiar. It also seemed that I was younger, but I couldn't really guess my age.

Later I heard a shout, "Dinner's ready!!!", So I instinctively went downstairs to eat, but what I saw shook me, and then I finally realized that this wasn't my family. This was Blaze's family.

"Cmon, the food gonna get cold," What seemed to be Blaze's mom told me. I tried to act natural as I got the food and sat next to Blaze's brother. But before I could think more in-depth about the whole situation, I heard a question.

"Oscar, did you do your homework?" Asked Blaze's mom, it seemed weird someone other than my mom asked me if I did my homework, but I ignored that and tried to act as naturally as possible.

"Huh? Yeah I did it in school" I used the excuse that I usually told my mom, but I couldn't get the feeling that my mom could die if I failed. My goal to save my mom only strengthened, and I only quickly ate and went upstairs to Blaze's room.

The room seemed quite lovely, with all kinds of technology and even books. Although the room's color seemed strange, it was bright green which didn't fit the space.

I wanted to learn more about this place and Blaze, so firstly, I started by checking my schoolbag and found out that I was currently an 8th grader. Next, I opened my laptop and logged in to the school's website to check my homework and what I found surprised me. Apparently, I was failing my grade and had tons of homework. It was so much harder because of the sheer quantity, it was similar, if not more, to high school homework. I also found out that only recently has he begun reading as a way to escape this stressful situation. All the things he read were action stories where the heroes overcame themselves and won against the villain.

Next, I found a journal that depicted his stressful situation and even his thoughts and demons. This journal was probably the key to getting out looking that it depicted all his enemies, bullies, and even some unfair teachers. Strangely all the names there were scratched out.

It seemed that I had to get rid of his demons, but it also seemed that instead of just killing them, I'd have to concur with them with force or knowledge, but he did say its a bit twisted, so I wondered what was the twist and even if all of this was his true feelings.

I noticed that Blaze didn't have many male friends and was more inclined to stay with girls. Although he didn't date them, he had a crush on one of them. She was a typical weeb girl, but she looked charming. He also liked hanging out with them because they preferred peaceful solutions instead of active ones. Plus, they also helped him release his stress by helping him with homework. (Don't dare get any funny ideas.)

The reason why he didn't hang out with males was that they were a bit extreme and were your typical hooligans. They smoked, stole, and even beat old men up for no reason. I understood why he didn't spend much time with them. They were fucked, I mean really fucked. It seemed this part of the memory was twisted.

So instead of going to sleep, I stayed up late doing homework and memorizing so I could get rid of the teachers. The problem was the bullies. While it was simpler just to beat them up and threaten them, I wanted to do a more challenging but more peaceful way.

I was going to ruin their lives, and although that was a bit hard, I would try to gather all the information I had on them and turn them into the police or the internet. I didn't like them for bulling and stealing and some abusing their power to hurt. I wanted to make them pay in any way I could. I also made a mental note to provoke them so that I could get more proof.

And my final goal was to get Blaze's crush to like him. Although it wouldn't really help me with my goal, it could help me get rid of a few of his demons and maybe decrease the corruption a bit.

Before I finally went to sleep, I started thinking about my life and my mistakes and finally noticed that I didn't spend much time with my family and promised myself that I would spend all my time with them in summer after all this whole situation was done.

Not long after, I fell asleep.
