Infinity, hidden under a purple cloak, was standing in front of a river of blood and flesh. He was on a mountain in front of that river. Darkness was everywhere.
Infinity – At last, I'm here; now you're mine. Now no one can snatch you from me, Controlium. Vanetti.
Female voice – Yes, sir.
Infinity – Tell them, their clock just has a mere 4 years on their dial. So, prepare cautiously.
Vanetti – As you wish, sire.
Mike and Mars were walking through the streets of Gowntown. There were various houses, stalls, and restaurants for spirits. All the spirits were busy in their day-to-day lives in Gowntown. All the spirits were poor, and the currency there was blood.
Mike – So, what is this city?
Mars – It's Gowntown, the center of Controlium. It's the richest city in Controlium.
Mike – Even after death, greed still persists.
Mars – Yeah, but now you're a Shinigami. You have powers greater than other low-level spirits. Shinigami are the protectors of low-level spirits.
Mike – What kind of powers?
Mars – You will get to know soon, perhaps.
Suddenly, a ball came flying and landed on a shop, destroying it completely. A beautiful, adorable, 108 (sus), villain queen kind of girl appeared, and she started attacking Gowntown. She was throwing fireballs everywhere, burning the town.
Mars – Shit! It's Vanetti, assistant of Infinity; she attacked again. Go, Mike, you will have to fight.
Mike ran towards Vanetti, but she grabbed Mike's face and threw him towards a shop. The shop was broken. Mike stood up with resilience in his eyes. Blood was flowing from his head, but he was confident.
Mike – You know I can kill you easily.
Vanetti – My, my, such big words from a rookie. My powers are beyond an average Shinigami.
Mike – You think I am an average Shinigami, bitch?
Mike ran towards Vanetti and jumped to kick her in the face. Vanetti took out a huge sword from her back. The sword was huge and sharp. She cut Mike's leg with that sword.
Mike – Interesting, I wonder where you hid that toy of yours.
Vanetti – Let's see which toy makes you laugh then.
Vanetti summoned a huge hammer in her hand and attacked Mike with that huge hammer. Mike dodged the attack.
Mike – Well, your hammer slows your movement; use something lighter.
Vanetti – I don't need advice from a rookie like you.
Suddenly, Misa came there with a sword and cut off Vanetti's head. A fountain of blood came out from Vanetti's neck. Vanetti ran from there and disappeared in the smoke. Misa saved Mike.
Misa – How's the experience?
Mike – Pretty boring; it all went according to my expectations.
Misa – Aah, you certainly are something, but you are not well-trained. You need proper training to defeat Vanetti. She's powerful.
Mike – How quickly can she?
Misa – Uh, she can probably regenerate her head within a month.
Mike – What about my leg?
Misa – Every spirit can regenerate, but it will take months to regenerate as we are normal spirits.
Mike – MONTHS? Well, isn't there a way to boost?
Misa – No, but in the meantime, you can do mental training.
Mike – This is not what I thought it would be.
Misa – Really? Glad to know that you're suffering.
Mike – Are you a friend or foe?
Misa – Whichever way you want.
Two days had passed after all these incidents. Mike was resting in bed, watching Misa train through the window.
Mike – What the hell? Can't I train my body?
Mr. Popo opened the door and entered the room. He was no longer wearing any cloak, and his face was visible. He was an old man with a pig-like face and was really ugly. He sat in a chair beside Mike's bed.
Mr. Popo – How's your health, Mike?
Mike – What do you think?
Mr. Popo – Hmm, I can see your regenerating ability is faster than others. It took only two days to regenerate half of your leg.
Mike – So, am I better than others?
Mr. Popo – You could say that.
On the other hand, Vanetti came to Infinity with her head in her hands. Infinity was hidden under a cloak.
Vanetti – A new Shinigami has come to Controlium. He is really weak; I don't think he is capable enough to stop you.
Infinity – Yet he managed to overwhelm you there.
Vanetti – How?
Infinity – Think for yourself, Vanetti. I am not that generous to foster weakness.
Vanetti – My apologies, sir.
Meanwhile, the Devil was watching all these things in his magic ball, a demon beside him. The Devil started laughing.
Devil – That Shinigami is really interesting; he might be hiding his true powers.
Demon – I think the same, my lord.
Devil – Let's just watch the show now as spectators. Who knows, it might turn blue all of a sudden.
