Yakame looks at I.A.W as he got teleported again in his room.
When he got there, there's no one there.
Screams echoed through the halls of the Inn.
Yakame, startled, started searching for Furukawa. While looking for him, he suddenly catch a glimpse of the outside using a window. He saw the buildings burning, dead bodies everywhere, and a guard pierced by his seemingly own spear. He realized, not only the inn is burning, THE whole capital is burning.
Yakame is shocked, seeing the horrifying scene, quickly goes to look for Furukawa.
Yakame: [WHERE THE HELL IS HE!?]
Even though Furukawa is missing, he isn't worried for his safety. Since his ability is called "The Curse of The Hated," and since Furukawa has an overpowered ability, he's confident to say that he's still alive.
He only needs Furukawa to fix this problem. Suddenly, a text appeared (And no, this is not a screen or something like from other novels. Just a floating text.) It said:
{Hello MORTAL, I saw that you are in such a pitiful situation. So I decided to help you, in exchange sign this contract.}
Yakame has a surprised expression when he saw the floating text, as he thought I.A.W only wants him as someone that updates him about the Outside reality while he's in his Pocket Dimension.
A paper suddenly appeared. It seem that I.A.W wants his... essence?
Yakame: [Did he means-]
Before he can think properly, the text changes. It now said:
{Yes, in exchange for me giving you a portion of my power, you will give me your very essence. Your life, memories, abilities, etc. I want it all, I want the very taste of your essence.}
Yakame looks at the text, he lets out a worried sigh. His eyes looking dead now.
In exchange for this Eldritch being's power, he needs to give him his essence.
(If you don't know, it means that I.A.W can still know what happen, when yakame dies and goes back in time/his savepoint. He can do by making yakame allow him to read his memories, since he seems to have an abnormal mind, a mind that nullifies mind reading, memory warp, memory erasure, etc.)
Yakame: "Yes."
Yakame says as the text glows white, and disappears.
After the some moments, screams can be heard. He looks outside and see the skies are... shattering?
Tentacles are appearing, yakame smiles. It seems that it's I.A.W, but it looks like he's screaming loudly. It started destroying everything. The fabric of reality, and since his reality is mirroring this reality. He's technically destroying his own reality.
I.A.W: "WHAT A HORRIBLE WILL, WHAT A CORRUPTED MIND, WHAT A TERRIBLE LIFE, WHAT A TWISTED SOUL!!"
Yakame is shocked.
Yakame: "WHAT ARE Y-"
Before Yakame can finish, he gets launch by one of it's tentacles, throwing out blood. Crashing through buildings and buildings, knocking him out.
After some time, he woke up. He see the sky turn to normal now, no cracks, there's still destruction ongoing on the capital.
Yakame groans as he tries to stand up, resulting him failing miserably.
Yakame coughs, smokes caused from the fire. The smell of rotten corpses or burning flesh made it worse.
Yakame: [Where did I.A.W go? But why did he attack me?]
As numerous questions runs in his head. He suddenly saw Furukawa, running towards him.
Furukawa: "Yakame!"
Yakame looks at him, having a mix emotions caused by his life and death encounter.
Yakame: "Furukawa..."
Yakame says softly as he groan in pain.
The rubble of the destroyed buildings made it more painful, as one the rubble fell on him.
But Furukawa swiftly made it into fiction.
Furukawa lets out a sigh, as he help yakame stand up.
Furukawa: "Let's go find a spot to rest on."
Yakame nods as coughs, the smoke from flames made it hard to breath, but Furukawa just made the fire into fiction.
Yakame: "What happened here?.."
Yakame says, seeing dead bodies everywhere in the Capital.
Furukawa: "Well, a war went out. The Hanaroshi kingdom used the capital as a source of income, since the capital is riched with gold, diamond, iron, copper, everything including hunters. The hunters here in this capital are mostly heroes, they fought strong foes including demons and god beasts like dragobs, making the king force the heroes to be a soldier the military, and it's also the largest capital in the Kingdom. The King forced everyone here to pay tax, and since they need more money for military. They double the tax with "inflation". Which is exactly 192,201.02 in total, which caused an rebellion. Causing this scene. To put bluntly, the king is a Dictator."
Yakame is surprised, this happened while he's in the other reality, are time and space so different in this and the other reality. He is also wondering why did I.A.W said those words, saying that he is Twisted, Horrifying, Corrupted, Evil. But right now, he need to focus what is happening right now.
Yakame: "What cause the war though?.."
Furukawa: "The King declared war to the Demon Lord, causing an uproar throughout the world. Since the Demon lord is rumored to able to destroy worlds with just a snap of a finger."
Yakame sighs.
Yakame: [Why did this even happen in the first place...]
Yakame he tries to walk, but he almost fall to his feet. His body is exhausted, without Furukawa he will not be able to even stand up in the first place.
Furukawa helps him walk, going towards the collapsed gate. Furukawa just turns the rubble into fiction.
Yakame looks at Furukawa as he questions him.
Yakame: "Why can't you just restore the capital to normal, you can manipulate causality right?"
Furukawa lets out a sigh.
Furukawa: "My ability right now can only turn objects into fiction, since my level is still 15. I can't turn people, places, and anything large into fiction. But I can turn monsters into fiction."
Yakame looks frustrated, but he can't expect there wouldn't be any limits to overpowered abilities like that.
Yakame: [Where's I.A.W though, I need to ask him why did he attack me. But more importantly, did I escaped his sight?]
As they go out of the capital, they saw a chopped off tentacles everywhere, and a giant eye melting.
It seems I.A.W killed himself. Yakame wonders, what did he saw in his memories that made him kill himself.
Yakame: "..."
Yakame softly mutters.
Furukawa: "Huh?"
Yakame: "Nothing..."
