According to his memories, there were two ways to gain powers as a normal person in this world.
One, was to become a Reality Walker— they could enter a Reality Master's Fractured Reality and pass certain trials to prove their strength, eventually becoming one of their believers.
In return, the Reality Master would "Bless" or "Mark" them, giving them special abilities.
Of course, these special abilities depended on the rank and authority that the Reality Master had.
The other path to power was to become a Reality Ruiner.
When a person discovers a Threshold Item and enters a Fractured Reality, they could complete the trials set there and kill the Reality Master before consuming them.
This would allow the person who consumed them to gain a unique ability by eating up the essence of the Reality Master.
The teenager who attempted to kill the newly born Reality Master obviously chose the latter.
'It should be safe to get out for now... The body of this Reality Master is quite similar to humans. Aside from my white hair and black robe, nothing else really stands out.'
Ivaim unsurely thought. He could not guarantee that the people in this world had special technology or abilities that would allow them to detect or tell who was a Reality Master and who was a human.
However, seeing as to how he knew too little of this place, he really had no other options unless he wanted to wait for another person to come inside his Fractured Reality and kill him.
With that, he touched the wooden door knob in front of him once again while the system prompted beside him.
[Would you like to exit your Fractured Reality?]
This time, he did not hesitate to say "yes" in his mind.
The door suddenly opened while Ivaim's vision blurred into incoherent images of black and white.
Then, the incoherent images started mashing together and slowly formed to what seemed to be a forest with fairly large trees.
While scanning his surroundings, Ivaim widened his eyes in shock as the sight of the teenager's dead body was in front of him.
It had blood continuously gushing out on its chest due to the stab wound. The teenager's eyes dull and lifeless as it laid there.
Ivaim covered his nose and mouth before looking away, not being able to stand the sight of a dead body.
'No— now is not the time to be so overreacting, my body is gonna self destruct in 48 hours soon!'
He quickly came to his senses as he scanned the boy's body.
On his hand, was the pistol he used to shoot the Reality Master, and behind him was a school bag that measured an arm's length.
Ivaim did not hesitate to grab the gun on the teenager's dead body and go to inspect the school bag.
Inside the school bag were miscellaneous items such as paper, pen, notebooks, and a pair of extra clothes folded neatly.
They seemed to be uniforms for a certain school.
Looking towards the school uniform and Ivaim's weird robe that would stand out amongst ordinary people, he did not hesitate to strip himself and start putting on the school uniform.
He then rummaged through the dead body's pockets in order to look for other items that he could possibly use.
In the pockets of the body's pants, Ivaim found a small silver coin which glowed an odd form of light.
'This must be the Threshold item he used to enter the Reality Master's Fractured Reality...'
He deduced before putting the coin in his own pocket for later use.
'Next, I should cover up the body a bit before going...'
Despite only having 48 hours left to live, Ivaim's morals did not let him leave the boy's body alone on the ground without giving it a somewhat proper burial.
After digging a shallow hole using a flat piece of wood he found on the ground, he tossed the body inside properly and hid it with the dirt he dug up.
"May you rest in peace..." He uttered softly.
Although the burial was definitely not proper, the police were bound to find the poor boy sooner or later and be reported to his family to give him a better place to rest.
After wasting an hour on doing a burial, Ivaim immediately started walking away to follow a certain path to get out of the forest-like place.
The direction he followed was ahead of him, as he could see faint smoke being emitted up in the sky which should indicate human activity.
'Time to look for so-called believers...'
'I should be careful when choosing someone to enter my Fractured Reality. Once they discover that I'm a Reality Master, they might choose to kill me and become a Reality Ruiner instead of a Reality Walker!'
With that, he immediately looked towards his system panel.
-----Abilities-----
[Coin of Fortune] : Allows user to create a coin imbedded with tiny amounts of good luck, anyone who wields it will find themselves a little luckier than before.
Looking towards the description of the ability, Ivaim thought for a second before activating [Coin of Fortune].
A small light pulsed through his hand as a small golden coin popped up out of nowhere.
'Dear lucky coin, please let me be lucky enough to find a good follower...'
He prayed sincerely.
After walking for awhile along the road, he stopped to look towards what seemed to be a subdivision under construction.
The smoke came from burning the surfaces of bamboo in order to cure the ones that were infected with fungi.
He was about to continue walking when a man's voice suddenly shouts towards him.
"Oi kid, it's 9 in the morning, classes are still on going!"
The voice shouted. Not too loudly, but enough to make it seem like Ivaim was being scolded.
'Ah, right.. I'm wearing a highschool uniform.'
"Ah sir, I sort of got lost and forgot where the location of my school is, can you help me with directions around these parts?"
Ivaim excused. He did not actually hope for his excuse to work, he just wanted the man to speak more so Ivaim could obtain more information out of him.
As he spoke, Ivaim observed the man's appearance.
The man was burly and muscular, wearing to what seemed to be a construction worker's uniform.
His face was unkempt and he had a beard growing out of his face.
He felt like the type of person who would aggressively punch people around once he became angry.
"Lost? Forgot? Ai ai ai, you think I'm stupid kid? Look at you, dying your hair white and escaping the school during class hours. You're even more of a punk than I was back when I were your age."
The burly man complained while laughing.
"Listen kid, I know you're probably lookin' around hoping to find some Threshold Item or whatever and become one of those superpowered people you see on televesion. But I'm telling you, it's like findin' a needle in a haystack!"
"If I were one of those Walkers or Ruiners, I'd sure be damned considered lucky as hell."
"I'd immediately register at a local Handler Group and start earning a fortune!"
"By then I'd be able to quit my job as a construction worker, and spend more time with my daughter, haha."
The man laughed heartily as he pointed east while patting Ivaim's back.
"It's over there. Go back to school for now kid. Stop skipping school and don't end up like me, someone who can't even give his daughter a proper home."
As the man spoke, Ivaim secretly tossed a silver coin in one of the pockets of the man's uniform.
"Alright, but even then, it's good to have dreams and hopes for a future, so try not to give up on yours kid."
"Goodluck on your way to school."
Ivaim did not answer, staying silent at the man's words before he started walking east.
Ivaim paused for awhile before looking back towards the man.
"You too uncle, goodluck."
He smiled.
