Chapter 4 - Newcomer [[Part 3]]

[Year 2024, November 1st]

[Seoul Jungbu Police Station]

Two officers were chatting about the sudden disapearence of a detective, that detective being Jiho Woo who had went missing for about 9 days [Time flows two times faster on earth than in the other world Arcadia.] "I heard the guy was pretty good at his job, such a shame that no one has heard about him in so long." Said one of the police officers ending his conversation with the other one walking away to get ready for a crime scene he's been assigned to.

[Year 2024, November 1st]

[Jiho Woo's Apartament]

The police officer arrived at the scene finding nothing interesting other than the same notes Jiho had analyzed before his disapearence he picked them up putting them inside a zipper bag for evidence. "My name is Jin Kwan, I am a police officer but I have never seen a case like this." Thought the police officer to himself before walking outside to smoke a cigarette a colleague of his squatting down holding his head. "Hey Kwan this really is confusing as hell, what will we do about Jiho." Said the other police officer sighing while looking at the ground. "We simply investigate and that's it, nothing else to do." Said Kwan as he looked up taking a puff and exhaling the smoke out using his pointing finger to drop the burnt cigarette residue.

"Unfortunate for sure...poor guy was actually fun to be around. But it is what it is." Said the other police officer standing up walking away with a file in his left hand. "Yeah...I suppose" Said Kwan as he trhew his unfinished cigarette away after extinguishing it on the concrete stairs of the apartment complex walking to his car driving off back home before being completely crushed by a reckless truck driver diyng on impact.

[Novograd, Capital City Of Novak]

Jiho would take his chance, slashing Yunshul from a point blank range, as it was successful Jiho only saw the world partially as his eye was blown off by Yunshul's ability.

"Fu-...what's the authority you gave me...you freak." Thought Jiho to himself as he started bleeding heavily. "Time" rang in Jiho's head as time reversed on his body healing his eye instantly.

"Round two!" Shouted Jiho as he rushed towards Yunshul jumping in order to not get hit by the strange ability to make holes.

"Don't be so sure." Said Yunshul with a calm voice as he continued "Hunting badge: Gutter Knife!" Dragging two of his fingers in a line for Jiho's position as the ground crumbled from a giant slash that went through multiple buildings.

Jiho had avoided it by jumping successfully closing the distance and slashing Yunshul, but he would use his "Gutter Knife" ability to cut into Jiho's shoulder.

Jiho would grit his teeth to get over the pain as he stabbed Yunshul in the chest, Yunshul smiled pointing his fingers at Jiho's head blowing it off entirely. But time would start to reverse itself for the entire world this time going to before Jiho stabbed Yunshul.

Jiho would now instead slash his right arm, cutting it right off.

"Damn you...but it's not such a easy achievement" Yunshul would say as his arm would regrow like tree roots forming itself again, shooting Jiho in the chest with his "Hunting Rifle" ability.

"Shi.... AGAIN!! " Jiho would scream reversing time again healing his injuries while backing off getting away from Yunshul.

"Are you scared? You're not even fluid in your movements but you keep regenerating which is annoying, you're stiff as a block of cement." Said Yunshul arrogantly as he smiled wickedly.

"Scared? Never I just have to analyze you first." Said Jiho as he jumped off the building and behind Yunshul, making a feint attack switching positions again going to Yunshul's right side cutting into his chest.

Yunshul would create a slash going towards Jiho but he would block it using his sword, dashing again going for Yunshul's head but he would be stopped by multiple slashes hitting his sword sending Jiho flying into a building.

Yunshul would start approaching holding his palm horizontally before swinging it diagonally slashing a portion of the entire capital this slash completely slicing and dicing everything that it hits

Jiho would reverse time again on himself standing up, rushing at Yunshul going downwards on his right side passing by Yunshul slashing his chest deeply.

"You're really annoying, pathethic shit"

Yunshul would say as he counter attacked using his "Hunting Rifle" shooting many shots at Jiho.

Jiho would be completely decimated, but he kept reversing time creating thousands of different timelines with many different outcomes.

Yunshul would rush at him swinging his hand continuously completely eradicating half the capital, while Jiho would swing his sword blocking most of the slashes but still getting cut.

Yunshul would get in Jiho's face holding his palm horizontally pressing against Jiho's chest releasing a series of giant slashes into his body exploding Jiho completely.

"GOT YOU!" Said Yunshul smiling like the devil incarnated standing Infront of Jiho's severed and blown off limbs.

Time would reverse again reconstructing Jiho's body as he slashes off Yunshul's head, but like before tree roots would emerge from his neck reattaching the head.

"You really thought I don't have a factor to heal me? You NEED a regeneration skill" Said Yunshul as a quest like window appeared between them

"Kill Jiho Woo"

"Seems like you guys really do have game windows huh, even better." Said Jiho as he went to Yunshul's side cutting into him.

"Useless, my stats exceed the limit of the current year, I am not losing." Said Yunshul as he smiled wickedly, pointing two fingers at him, shooting him at point blank range.

Jiho would block it getting blown off into the iron gate completely destroying it, before being blown again creating a medium sized crater shaking the capital itself.

Jiho would stand up barely standing his vision blurry as he saw Yunshul approaching he would pick up his sword from the ground looking at him with his eyes closed before raising his sword upwards

[Two Days Ago]

[White Void]

"I simply can't even touch you...fucking hell how can I do it" Said Jiho as he looked at the figure now with a human form.

"Simple, the world has a system but you're outside of it, so you can't use the conventional energy they do but you outsiders have an advantage you can utilise your own souls." Said the figure as it sat back on it's throne pointing at Jiho's heart.

"My soul? How do I do that?" Asked Jiho as he stood up from the ground .

"Imagine your soul spinning like a ball, then take small portions of that soul and make them spin around in circles like it's an atom." Said the figure smiling at Jiho before continuing: "You will realise that power when you need it."

[Present]

"So that's what the figure was talking about huh... Intresting it feels awfully warm." Thought Jiho to himself as he opened his eyes.

Bringing his sword down Yunshul would be shocked unable to dodge the attack that went through the entire city and even into the forest inverting the world for a split second, and when it came back to normal Yunshul was standing on his feet his eyes white, not breathing like a statue.

"This is really useful..I guess I can now rest assured I'm strong enough if I took down this monster." Thought Jiho to himself as he fell on his knees vomiting a puddle of blood while holding his head.

[Two days Ago]

[White Void]

"But be careful, if you use this ability you will have major side effects until you master it" Said the figure as he slashes off Jiho's head sending him to the real world.

[Present]

"Right, it does have major side effects I didn't even think about.." Thought Jiho to himself once more before barely standing up looking at the giant destruction this encounter had made.

Nyx would approach the crater looking at Jiho before saying while smiling : "So you really did something amazing huh."

"Kind of I did." Said Jiho as he climbed out the crater starting to walk into the wilderness.

"It's time to go otherwise we will be caught" Said Nyx as she jumped over the crater walking with Jiho into the wilderness.

[Point Of View: Civilian]

I never thought, this much destruction could happen, so much death my friends, my family, even people I didn't know that well just diyng like that? What kind of awful world is that supposed to be.

We didn't have a fight on this scale in so long, and now our greatest defender of the capital city is now dead from that criminal monster.

I wish upon the great two badges of the Novak country! The Security and Justice badge...please BRING THOSE CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE! The man would cry, as he kept on hitting the ground.

[Narrators Point Of View]

The capital city of Novak, Novograd was completely destroyed with many casualties as our main hero "Jiho" would leave the city in shambles after fighting the tyrant law enforcer "Yunshul" in result breaking his soul and the insides creating organ failure all through his body.

What would come next is only to be told.

[Unknown Date, Year 1200]

[Wilderness Of Novak]

"Hey, Nyx do you think I have made a mistake just leaving the city like that after battling Yunshul?" Said Jiho as he really seemed troubled by his actions.

"Don't feel bad about it, Yunshul deserved it and it's more his fault for all the destruction caused, I watched the fight so I can afford to say this" Said Nyx as he looked at Jiho who's mood was brought back to normal.

Jiho would smile before asking "So what's next?" But before Nyx could respond a group of wolves would appear on there path.

"What's next? You'll see just let's have an adventure old man." Said Nyx as she summoned her bow creating arrows from nothing head shotting all of the wolves in a split second.

"I knew she was strong but such accuracy...I guess I got myself a good person at least." Thought Jiho to himself as he glared one last time at the city of Novograd before turning his head leaving it behind continuing to walk with Nyx.

To be continued....
