K., sitting down in his rocking chair, takes out a book while giving Asher a small grin.
"Hey Asher, don't worry; your siblings are fine. You are currently in my realm." K. starts pointing at the sky. "This is my realm. The realm you live in is all my doing."
Asher can only stare at K., his face becoming more and more blank.
"What are you talking about!? So you are the one that created all the suffering!!" Asher tries to stand up, but his legs are extremely weak.
"Well, in actuality, it's the doing of the superior being." K. closes his book; his voice becomes more and more deep.
"The superior being! Do you expect me to believe that? Fuck the superior being. Asher finally stands up and points at K..
"Believe it if you want." K. shrugs his shoulders. "Do you remember the large blue star?"
"Large blue star? What are you talking about!?" Asher, now more relaxed, mildly screams at K..
"As expected. I can't tell you much, but all I can say is that you and I are a part of the superior being." K. recreates the blue star but is now in a smaller form.
"Is this the star? Are we the ones glowing a golden yellow?" Asher grabs the star and sees a color calling for him.
"Yes. As you can tell, I am the golden yellow point." K., looking proud, responds.
"Then what about the rest?"
"I truly don't know the entire picture. All I know is that there are five of us, and I only have knowledge of Ink and ? the other two I have no idea about. But I have an idea."
"Ink and ?? What do they do, and what is the idea that you have?" Asher now finally calms down.
"Well, I do know Ink; we are friends. He is the creative and dreamer part of the superior being. ? is the mysterious and intelligent part of the superior being." K.'s mood changes when talking about Ink and ?.
"What are the other two, and what are we?" Asher is now very interested.
"Since you asked. I am the savior part of the superior being."
"What is the savior part?" Asher's mind starts to get confused.
"We are the good parts of the superior being. That is why you get stronger when you fight enemies with their hands tainted with human life. That is why I think I have an idea of the other two.
"That makes a lot of sense, but the other two?"
"Wait, I am going there. I think that the other one is the evil and selfish part of the superior being."
"So the opposite of us." Asher's brain finally clicks.
"Correct, I knew you had me inside you." K. changes the sky to a bright sunny day.
"So what about the other one?"
"The other one has to be the senses of the superior being. Or it's the spirit version of the superior being. I truly have no idea; I still haven't met them yet. You will be me eventually." K. stops himself from revealing too much information. "I said too much. Well, now you know the partial truth; also, now you understand why you said you were blessed to have me.
"I'm lucky; I am calmer, but that experience is too terrifying to ever be thankful." Asher's tone changes to indignation.
"Just wait until… yeah, just wait." K., with a sweep of his hand, disappears from the world.
…
Asher is back in his body, bleeding; however, now he feels a lot stronger, and his wound is starting to heal.
Asher slowly stands up, his aura now becoming orange-red, and with incredible speed manages to land a sucker punch.
The enemy turns around after stumbling due to the magnitude of the punch.
"So you are alive? I was sure that I gave you a fatal blow. Well, now that you are here, let the fun start." The room suddenly illuminates, showing one hundred people all ready to attack the man that Asher went to sit down behind everyone in the blink of an eye.
Asher sees the room appear like a palace, signaling that this is the king's room. Asher starts to look at the men surrounding him, noticing how their strengths are equal to his before this sudden surge. Look at the king.
"W-what?" Asher looks at the king's face, the same face of the young man he saw and became in the nightmare. It wasn't a dream?
Boom!
The one hundred men all start to calculatively attack Asher.
Asher starts to see the world move slower; seeing the enemies attack, Asher marks the pathway the five closest to him are going to attack; seeing a weak point, he decides to capitalize.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Asher's punches create a hole in the body of the enemies.
The enemies take a backward step for half a second; they now start to launch their full attacks at him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Asher starts receiving the attacks, his bones, and limbs all being ripped apart only to regenerate; Asher's eyes, full of rage, start pulling the enemy's bodies. Ripping their lips, crushing their throats.
Asher's mind is filled with pain and sorrow; every time he kills an enemy, his heart becomes lighter and lighter.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Asher gets his head blown off only to regenerate, a monster starts to instill fear in the enemies; they know that they won't be able to beat if a monster like him starts to terrify them.
Asher starts disappearing in front of their eyes; his strength is increasing in record time. It appears that the strength he lost is all coming back. Every time Asher manages to disappear, he takes a life with him.
Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The enemies are trying their best, launching attacks that a previous Asher wouldn't survive; now he is eating them and killing them in record time.
Snap
BOOM!!!!!!
Asher flies away due to the magnitude of the attack.
What was that? Asher opens his eyes to see a blood-covered room; every inch is covered in blood, and the king is standing on top of the fallen men. Asher realizes that it is all the king's doing.
"Join me or fight me. Those peasants are way too weak for you to waste your energy. Your attacks remind me of a frog, catching every insect they see." The king extends his hand, covered in blood.
The rotten smell makes Asher unable to rationalize. He had never seen someone so corrupted in his life before the simple thought of joining him repulsed Asher.
Boom
Both of Asher's arms blow up from seemingly nothing. Asher retreats gets into a boxing stance, and lets his aura consume him, the color now turning a light golden tone. His pupils become pure gold, the bottom of his dreads starts to become golden, and the thorn crown appears again, its color a light yellow.
