Shonen was taken aback by Plot Armor's response. "You sure you won't regret it after I drag him out of this story?" he challenged, his voice laced with a mix of disbelief and irritation.
Plot Armor laughed heartily, the sound echoing through the air. "Shonen, if anyone I feel bad for, it's you," he replied, his tone dripping with amusement and confidence.
Ignoring Plot Armor's words, Shonen stormed into Alex's house. The door creaked open, revealing Alex sitting in the hall, calmly reading a book. The room was filled with a serene ambiance, a stark contrast to the tension Shonen brought with him. Alex looked up, his eyes meeting Shonen's with a calm intensity. "I think we know each other, so why don't we have a talk first?" he suggested, his voice steady and composed.
Shonen sat opposite Alex, his expression stern and unyielding. "I'll get straight to the point. You have to come with me," he demanded, his eyes narrowing with determination.
Alex raised an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in his gaze. "What if I don't?" he asked, his tone challenging yet calm.
"Then I'll drag you with me," Shonen replied, his voice unwavering, filled with a sense of finality.
Alex sighed, a look of resignation crossing his face. "There's no other way, huh?" he murmured, more to himself than to Shonen.
In the next moment, Alex's world shattered into pieces, the fragments swirling around them like a storm. They were now in the Fictional Vortex, a realm of swirling colors and shifting realities. Shonen looked around, realizing what had happened. "So it was you, Plot Armor. You teleported us to the Fictional Vortex. Well, whatever, it makes my job easier because fictional beings like him have no power here," he declared, his voice echoing in the surreal landscape.
[The Fictional Vortex is a mystical and boundless realm that serves as the nexus connecting all fictional worlds ever created. It is the place where all stories are present, containing every fictional world crafted by the creators. This space between different stories, allowing characters, settings, and plots from various fictional worlds. Within the Fictional Vortex, contains everything that is made in fiction, enabling the coexistence of diverse genres and the seamless transition between them. It is a place of infinite possibilities, where the imagination reigns supreme.]
Shonen unleashed his technique, "100 Sword Style: Eternal Void," his movements swift and precise as he attempted to slash Alex. But Alex disappeared in a blur, reappearing behind Shonen with a speed that defied logic. Surprised, Shonen exclaimed, "How did—" before he could finish his sentence, Alex punched him, the force of the blow knocking him away.
Shonen quickly got up, his face a mix of shock and determination. "How can… doesn't matter, you will reply with 'because I can' anyway," he muttered, his frustration evident.
Shonen then released an energy beam, the air crackling with power as it surged towards Alex. But Alex met the beam head-on, punching it with a force that dispersed it effortlessly, the energy dissipating into the vortex.
