"I am alone…"

"People keep betraying me, hurting me, and my friends even left me…"

The time shows 9PM, the room is pitch black and he is alone in his room. Un Taiyou, laying on his bed, cries.

He turns to the side and has an annoyed, angry, and sad expression on him. He loudly whispers to himself.

"Nobody cares about me! no one sees me as a friend. I'm just that random kid that just exists…"

He stares blankly into the walls. Then he closes his eyes and goes to sleep.

* * * * *

Un Taiyou wakes up in the middle of the night. The clock on the shelf shows it's 1AM in the morning. His expression turns to excitement. He gets up from his bed and heads to his parents room to check on them.

He nods and smiles as he sees his parents are deep asleep.

He quietly comes back to his room and closes the door behind him. He chuckled and seemed excited as he then reassures himself

"Time for another odyssey."

He goes through his wardrobe as he then grabs his outfit. He wears black training pants and a black shirt that has a text that says 'Bloods' in the middle of the shirt with gray sleeves that reach to his wrists. 

He climbs his bed and reaches to the top of his wardrobe, a cardboard katana and a plastic toy bolt-action rifle that both use a sling made out of ties tied to it. Lastly, he wears a black makeshift ninja mask out of a black shirt.

Quietly, he sneaks out of the house and heads to the nearest park. The park is empty, the air is cold, and there are no signs of life. Un Taiyou gets on top of the nearest bench.

He holds out his right arm with his hands opened and shouts

"I am Nightmare Realm, formerly known as Night Hunter!"

"From the depths of hell in silence, to the night of eternal darkness. DESTRUCTION - OVER - WORLD!" He then proceeds to pose like the average Chuunibyou.

Taiyou jumps off the bench and starts pretending to shoot at imaginary enemies with his toy rifle.

"Die! backoff you Night Imperium scum!" He shouts

Un Taiyou is fully immersed in his imagination. He does not notice much of his surroundings. He crouches behind trees and continues pretending to shoot down his imaginary enemy.

He is immersed in his fun. Suddenly, someone wrapped his face with something from behind.

"What? What's this? a bag? a shirt?" Un Taiyou thought to himself.

Whatever it is, he knows it's made out of cloth. 

Un Taiyou struggles to break away from it. The cloth is pulled tightly, not letting him go easily. Taiyou is caught by surprise and is strangled by the kidnapper. Taiyou screams and shouts for help but it is futile. No one hears him as the cloth covering his face dampens his voice.

Taiyou is slowly getting dragged by the kidnapper. Taiyou manages to elbows the kidnapper's ribs hard enough where it hurts him and accidentally lets go of Taiyou. Taiyou broke away and took off the cover on his head. He looks back to see the kidnapper's face only to find he's wearing a mask. 

After seeing the kidnapper, as he's about to turn back…

A gun is held to the back of his head at point blank range.

Standing there in disbelief, Un Taiyou starts crying at what has come undone. He feels the pistol directly against his head. In the midst of his current circumstances, a thought occurred to him.

"Should i?! But it's too risky! what do i do, what do i do? it's dumb too but what are even my options?!" He thought to himself, scared and panicking.

Taiyou swiftly crouches and places his weight on his back. He kicks off with his feet off the ground, and his fists are poised to strike blindly. He is hoping that by hitting the armed man's vital spot, he would have enough time to flee. When he lifted off the ground, he delivered a direct hit to the stomach, and both tumbled to the ground.

In a state of panic, 

he shoots Taiyou.

After hearing the gunshots, Taiyou utters his final words in a tone of fear and grief.

"No…"

The bullets fly through the air, in milliseconds it quickly reaches Taiyou's head. Taiyou's last tears go out. The bullet is only centimeters away from Taiyou, it is the end of him. Taiyou is waiting for the bullet to pierce through his head. 

But something is odd. It's been more than 10 seconds. Curious, Taiyou looks back and sees the bullet frozen in the air. 

"What?" He's surprised to see everything seems to have frozen in place.

Taiyou stands up from the ground and observes his surroundings. He then slowly approaches the armed kidnapper.

"Did everything stop moving? no way… that's impossible! is it?"

He keeps mumbling to himself unsure what had happened.

"How… Why… Did I do this?"

"Things like this… only happens in anime…"

Everything that was in motion around him had also frozen in place. A falling leaf, flying bat, car passing by, and trees getting blown by the wind.

"i… stopped time?!" Taiyou is still baffled

"It's gotta be me right? I'm the only one who could move so it only makes sense."

He stops upon realizing something

"Wait, does this have a time limit?!" Taiyou panics

"Does this take away my energy?! or does it make my life shorter?! no no no, there's no way! there's no way an ability this overpowered doesn't have a time limit or have a side effect when using it!" 

Taiyou holds up his head with his two hands as he hesitates about what to do. After a while, he makes up his mind and shouts to himself.

"There is no time!"

He points at the armed kidnapper

"I'll beat you up first, then your friend, then I get away!"

Taiyou approaches the kidnapper and kicks him as hard as he could. The kidnapper only moved a bit from the momentum of the kick, indicating he'd fall towards the ground when time moves again.

Taiyou doesn't stop there, he kicks down the kidnapper many times. The kidnapper bleeds on multiple parts of his body from the impact to the hard ground that Taiyou forcefully hits him at as the time is still stopped.

It's face looks like it got stung by bees. Taiyou then steals his gun and puts it in his own pocket. Satisfied with what he did to the armed kidnapper, Taiyou turns his attention towards the other kidnapper.

Taiyou runs towards him and punches it's face as hard as he could. He does the very same thing he did to the other kidnapper. Taiyou piles up both kidnappers on the ground, all beaten up by him.

 Upon finishing, Taiyou grabs back his stuff and swiftly runs home. He runs as fast as he could as he worries that time could start to move again soon. He then arrives back home, quietly goes to his room and changes back his clothes to his previous one. He looked at the time as he did this. Time has not yet moved again.

"What do I do? How do I make time get moving again?"

"Maybe if i…"

He holds out his arm with his hand open, he focuses on continuing time. He closes his eyes and then…

The clock in his room ticked.

"i… I did it!" he said in excitement

"I stopped and resumed time! i didn't even have to say a word to do it so i guess this is helpful." he shrugs it off

"i'm not sure how this works but as long as it works then i'm fine by it"

Taiyou smiles, relieved of what he had done. Taiyou lays on his bed, happily thinking about the excitement of what had happened. 

He laid down on his bed, excited as he thinks about what he could do with his new superpower. He then grabs his phone and watches anime until the sun comes up.
