In the dim and quiet apartment, we now behold Yamikaze, looking exhausted with pronounced under-eye bags. He sits on his couch, indulging in a bowl of ramen while watching TV. By his side, his cat sleeps soundly. He consumes his meal and watches without any expression. As he continues his activities, he suddenly glances over and catches sight of his clock. Upon seeing that the time is 10:10, he raises an eyebrow ever so slightly.
Chapter 2 - the unforseen Event
After a brief moment of preparation, Yamikaze was now dressed. He wore a white sweater paired with long white jogging pants. As for his accessories, he had a black wristwatch and a Kanji necklace. He also sported a black beanie, and, of course, his glasses. We now see him locking the door to his apartment.
"Turns out, I didn't notice the time... I've been watching for over seven hours, so I didn't even pay attention to my surroundings," he thought. "In the words of mortals, wasting time watching instead of sleeping is a bad habit and can lead to health problems or even death... but I have nothing to worry about in that regard because I am the being behind the concept of those."
He mused in his mind as he locked the door and stepped outside
As he exited his apartment, he once again noticed the girl he had seen yesterday, the one who had hurriedly put on her shoes. Now, she was walking slowly and looked tired, her eyes half-closed due to fatigue. While she walked, Yamikaze observed her without displaying any expression. When she reached her door, she opened it, but upon entering, she stumbled and fell flat on her face. Upon witnessing this, Yamikaze just tilted his head in bewilderment.
While the girl remained sprawled on the floor, Yamikaze continued his walk, heading down towards the building's exit.
"When he descended from his apartment Building, he first glanced at his watch and uttered, 'here we go, socializing on a lazy day,' in a subdued voice, accompanied by a sigh. He then began to walk towards the bus stop. Upon arriving, he took a seat. While his wait continued, he took out his earphones and put them on. As his wait persisted, he began to notice the silence in the surroundings, as if time were standing still, and no cars were passing by. Thus, he temporarily removed his earphones from his ears and looked around, turning his head left and right, then suddenly closed his eyes gradually. When he closed his eyes, a fresh breeze blew. Upon reopening his eyes, he whispered, 'Time distortion..?'"
He quickly raised his left arm and concentrated on his fingers. With a snap, the surroundings suddenly turned black, resembling a glitching hologram with varying glitched structures. It transformed into a celestial realm where the upper part was the sky, and the lower part became a glitched hologram. In this altered reality, the glitched side of the hologram appeared frozen, while the left side expanded into a vast sky with moving clouds.
Yamikaze cast his eyes around to observe the surroundings, letting out another sigh. "This is more severe than I thought... it seems I need to handle not only Time Distortion but also this Back of the Real World where I find myself now... but how did this happen? What kind of phenomenon occurred, thrusting me into the Back of Reality while time is distorted?" He contemplated in his mind.
After a brief moment of silent contemplation, he rose from his seat. He looked upward to the sky and opened his palm. With a sweeping motion of his arm, hand extended toward the sky, a momentary hush ensued. Suddenly, the sky darkened, and a large white crack appeared, growing larger and eventually bursting open, causing a substantial rift in the sky shaped like a crack.
However, everything suddenly came to a halt, and the sky remained dark while the large white crack and its explosion froze in place. Upon noticing the pause, Yamikaze lowered his gaze slightly, conveying a momentary, serious expression. "So, the Time Distortion here affects the outside of Reality as well. That means this time distortion is occurring outside of both the original time and space. It seems like I'll need to simultaneously disrupt the Distorted Realm and the Back of Reality, and afterward..." he pondered all this in his mind.
After his thought, he looked around again. "It looks like I'll have to remove the Absence of Space in these two realms simultaneously. So, does that mean I'm currently stuck in a distorted Third Dimension...?" He continued his thoughts.
And here he began to levitate upwards, extending both his arms to each side. He closed his eyes, saying, "Overall, I need to destroy the Absence of Space in the Two Realms to erase the Existence of Distance in both realms. There's no time to chase the distance of destruction since time is distorted here... I might as well not have been born if this is all I'll be doing," Yamikaze thought to himself.
After his thoughts, with both arms still extended, he whispered, "Cataclysm..!" Suddenly, the entire surroundings turned black, including the Distorted Realm and the sky above, which was the Back of Reality. This was accompanied by the appearance of many large white cracks all around. While all of this was happening, the process started to halt again, but Yamikaze closed his left palm, causing a massive wave of energy to emanate from him. This wave continued the destruction process, accelerating it until he had successfully destroyed the Distorted Time and the Absence of Space in both realms.
After he successfully destroyed and escaped the Distorted Realm, he abruptly opened his eyes. He saw himself sitting at the bus stop, wearing his earphones. He looked around, thinking that everything had returned to normal. Cars were passing by, and people were walking around. He sighed again, closed his eyes, and opened them after the sigh.
"I wonder... how did such a phenomenon occur? Is it a sign of the world's end, or was it created intentionally? And if I'm correct, perhaps the attention of that being is focused on me," he thought to himself. After a bit of contemplation, a bus arrived, and Yamikaze stood up from his seat at the bus stop. He boarded the bus, heading towards his meeting point with his friend, Zabura.
