Chapter 3 - chapter 3 - The Omni-king

The air filled with the rhythmic sound of flapping as a man with vibrant yellow hair and piercing blue eyes emerged into view.

"Who might you be?" he inquired.

"I am the Omni King, ruler of the universes, king of gods, Ko..."

"It matters not, for soon you shall perish by my hand."

With swift determination, he lunged forward to strike down his adversary, but the enigmatic figure had vanished.

Seated nonchalantly upon a tree branch, the figure with yellow hair looked down upon him.

"Ahh to kill a person you gotta catch them first ," he remarked with a knowing smile.

The mysterious figure's eyes blazed with fury as he pounced again. However, the yellow-haired figure seized him from behind, swiftly slamming him to the ground.

Undeterred, the mysterious figure executed a kip-up, rising back onto his feet and slashing wildly. Yet, his efforts were futile, failing to leave even a scratch on his opponent.

Amidst their struggle, the yellow-haired figure spoke, "That was rather entertaining. You possess strength, but..."

His words trailed off as the enigmatic figure huffed from exhaustion.

"...but not enough to defeat me. Though I could prolong this exchange, pressing matters demands my attention. Shall we conclude with a final, decisive blow?"

The mysterious figure's gaze intensified.

Taking the lack of response as affirmation, the yellow-haired figure prepared for the impending clash. His fist clenched tightly, radiating a brilliant golden hue. Similarly, the mysterious figure mirrored the technique.

"You're an adept one, but still outmatched," the yellow-haired figure taunted. "Now, prepare."

With an exultant cry, he shouted, "Ken Koshiro!"

Simultaneously, the enigmatic figure echoed, "Kylo Ken!"

The ensuing detonation engulfed the forest, veiling the landscape in a shroud of dust. The mysterious figure plummeted to the earth.

"Nicely done, Kylo," the yellow-haired figure remarked.

As the dust dissipated, an unsettling absence revealed itself; the mysterious figure had vanished.

"Wait, he was here a moment ago," the yellow-haired man mused, scanning the surroundings.

A curiosity drew his attention, leading him towards a sign of life.

"Hmm, a boy. What might he be doing here?" he pondered aloud. A sense of familiarity tugged at him. "Could you be...?"

Nick awoke, a whirlwind of emotions storming within him.

"Why? How? My family...ahhhhhh why am I still alive while they died why "

With a comforting embrace, the yellow-haired figure consoled, "It's alright. Let it out."

Nick's tears flowed as he released his pent-up emotions, eventually composing himself.

He inquired, voice quivering, "Who are you?"

"I am Ken Koshiro. And you... you are someone significant," came the gentle reply.

"my name is Nick well it doesn't matter anymore "

" Nick ,i know the feeling well i have lost a lot of things in life . Nick's life less eyes stares at him after a while nick faints because of exhaustion

Nick passed out of exhaustion, then he woke up in an unknown place.

"Where am I? What is this place?"

He walks down the stairs and hears a sound coming from the kitchen.

Koshiro says, "Oh, you're up."

Nick's stomach growls.

Koshiro says, "Are you hungry?"

He places the food on the table. "Come on, let's eat."

Nick replies, "No, I am not hungry," and goes back to his room.

Koshiro says, "If you were, you could have handled it way better."

He follows Nick to his room, knocks, and asks, "Can I come in?" No reply comes. "I will take that as a yes," and he enters the room.

"Hey, you know you can talk to me."

Nick's lifeless eyes stare at him.

"I know you're going through a lot. Your parents were eaten right before your eyes. You were almost killed. To accept the reality..."

There was a moment of silence.

"I haven't told this to anyone. When my... When my son died, I couldn't accept it either. I started to blame myself. If I had done something... anything, things would have been different. Even though I am the Omni-King, I was still powerless. It's hard to accept and even harder to move on. He looked just like you. Darkness cannot erase darkness, only light can do that. Hatred cannot erase hatred, only love can do that. Unless we become apart from pain, pain would never let us go."

He stands up and walks out of the room. After a while, Nick comes down and sits at the dining table. Koshiro quickly goes to the kitchen and grabs the food. Koshiro grabs the spoon, but his hand is trembling and he is unable to eat. Koshiro watches that, picks up the spoon, feeds him, and smiles

The passing weeks saw Nick and Koshiro's bond grow stronger, yet the shadows of their pasts remained ever-present. Nick found himself haunted by nightmares, his family's screams echoing in his mind. Koshiro's attempts at comfort sometimes felt futile against the weight of Nick's grief.

One evening, as the moon cast an eerie glow over the landscape, Nick and Koshiro sat in a dimly lit room, their silhouettes merging with the darkness.

"I thought that being with you would make things easier," Nick confessed, his voice trembling. "But the pain... it's still there."

Koshiro's eyes held a somber understanding. "I can't take your pain away, Nick. No one can. But I can stand by your side, a reminder that you're not alone."

A bitter laugh escaped Nick's lips. "And what good is that? You're the Omni-King, yet you couldn't save my family. What makes you think you can help me?"

Koshiro's gaze remained steady. "I've known loss too, Nick. And I know the guilt that comes with it. But blame only binds us to the past. We can't change what's happened, but we can choose how we move forward."

Nick's eyes held a mixture of anger and sadness. "I don't know if I can do that. The darkness inside me... it's consuming."

Koshiro reached out, his hand finding Nick's. "You're not alone in that struggle. I've felt that darkness too. But I've also seen the power of resilience. It's not about erasing the pain; it's about finding a way to live with it."

As the night deepened, the room seemed to shrink around them, the weight of their pain palpable. The echoes of their conversations lingered like shadows in the corners.

"We can't go back," Nick whispered, his voice heavy. "We can only go forward."

Koshiro nodded. "Forward, one step at a time."

In the midst of the darkness, a fragile sense of companionship began to form. It was a bond forged in the depths of pain, a testament to the strength they found within themselves.

koshiro whisper to himself " even though i couldn't be your light cause i myself am engulfed in darkness but i will be there for you by your side "

Days went by, and Nick's demeanor began to shift. From being an empty shell consumed by grief, he slowly started to show signs of improvement. The weight of his pain wasn't gone, but it seemed more manageable than before.

One night, Nick woke up in the middle of the night. While heading to the washroom, he stumbled upon a closed door. A soft beeping noise emanated from within, piquing his curiosity. Nick leaned closer to the door, trying to decipher the sound. His hand reached for the doorknob, only to be suddenly grabbed by someone else.

Startled, Nick turned to find Koshiro's serious gaze fixed on him. In a stern tone, Koshiro said, "This room is off limits."

Feeling a mix of emotions, Nick nodded, agreeing to Koshiro's command. He returned to his room, but his mind was fixated on the mysterious room and the beeping noise. As he lay awake in bed, his thoughts swirled around the forbidden room, a puzzle he couldn't solve.

The night passed in restless contemplation. Nick battled the urge to investigate the room, torn between his curiosity and his growing respect for Koshiro's wishes. The enigma of the room tugged at him, a testament to the layers of secrets that still surrounded their lives.

And so, as the night faded into dawn, Nick remained haunted by the allure of the room, wondering what it held and what stories it concealed within its walls.

One day, seated at the dining table, Koshiro turned to Nick and said, "Nick."

Startled, Nick looked up and asked, "What?"

Koshiro's expression turned serious as he spoke, "There is something I have to say to you. I will be gone for a while. I have a few matters to attend to."

Nick's eyes widened with surprise. "Gone? How long will you be away?"

Koshiro replied calmly, "I will be back soon. And don't worry about food; I've made enough to last."

"and remember do not leave the house no matter what , understand"

"yes"

"by the way koshiro what is this place"

"oh you Don't know oh yeah you have been living like a zombie , well this is the god realm well it's a place for gods but there are mystical beasts living in this place too ,I'll tell you more wait monsters you "

"hey no need to worry there is a strong magic barrier that will keep the monsters away so nothing will happen to you "

As the day turned into night, Koshiro departed on his journey, leaving Nick with a mix of emotions. Nick eventually went to sleep, but in the middle of the night, he was jolted awake by a strange noise. It was a sound emanating from the very room Koshiro had warned him to stay away from.

Curiosity got the better of him. Nick quietly made his way towards the forbidden room. The closer he got, the more he realized that ...he turned the knob and opened the door he saw a beautiful red haired woman laying on a bed attached to the life support system "who is she ? , Is she in a coma or somethi...Boom and explosion takes place knocking nick on a wall
