-Osker POV-
"Show me more!!" Screamed the damn maniac throwing bunch of kunias towards me
"Will you stop it!!" I screamed back dodging everything only for one of them to burst into smoke revealing the damn man as he kicked me in the chest
"Ho?" He grined, surprised as I caught his kick
"Not falling for that again" I muttered before spinning around his leg and hitting him with elbow strike to the knee breaking it–
*poof!*
–Only for him to burst into a wooden log as soon as the strike connected
The log shattered as clapping ensued
I looked towards the source above and there he was, in the shade standing upside down from a branch
His red armor without as much a scratch and the fan shaped weapon which he hadn't used since the start did manage to piss me off a little. But the only thing that stopped me from hurling string of curses was the red ominous eyes with spinning black tomes as if searching for something
'Atleast he's taking me seriously' I thought wryly
"Why the f*ck is he here?" I couldn't help but curse as we eyed each other and pretty sure he heard me by the twitch of his lips
I don't know how it happened. One moment I was sleeping in my room and the next, this maniac just jumped me, in ever litreal sense of the word
He just popped out of nowhere and punched the daylights out of me which confirmed quickly I wasn't dreaming
What followed was a swift exchange of fists and kicks with a lot of headbutting and some biting(mostly me) and shit load of distractions, substitutions, kunias, senbons and various elemental jutsus, mostly fire related
And if you haven't figured it out by now then let me spell it out for you
I'm fighting THE Madara Fucking Uchiha
I'm fucked, not in the way I would like
"So..." I looked up seeing him still hanging upside down just looking cool , "...why are we fighting?"
Well, so far he has shown willingness to talk after I managed to land a hit, let's see my chances
He narrowed his eyes with the Sharingan spinning menacingly, "It is not often I find a worthy opponent, much less a child who can keep up with me" He grined at the end ready to pounce
"That's it?" I asked with a flat look, like, 'How free are you? Don't you have a clan to look after?'
"That and you are trespassing the border of Land of Fire"
Oh, that makes it more simple,"So if I back away..."
"You won't leave" he answered cutting me off, "Like I said, you are someone who can keep up with me, the Shinobi feared by all and you are still a child" I don't like where this is going "Someone with such potential can either be controlled–"
"Or exterminated" I completed his words which made him nod
"You understand. So chose, Will you surrender or will you die?"
"How about neither and we all go home?"
He sighed sadly, "A shame, I would have liked to fight you when you reached your full potential"
"Oh really?" I raised a brow at his 'sad' look "I would've believed you if it wasn't for that bloodthirsty grin you're giving me"
He simply shrugged and vanished like a mirage
'Where–?'
The answer came a millisecond later in form of a roundhouse kick which I barely managed to block against using my arm
"Hmm? Strange indeed" his voice came from besides me before I could even land on the ground
And then came the pain of having been punched in the liver full force sending me down until I crashed
'Yup, hurts like hell. Definitely NOT a dream' I thought while my wounds healed, courtesy of passive healing spells and skills
"So, you can regenerate too?" He asks with a intrigued look, "Your experimental value just went up"
"..." I really wanna show him a middle finger but as the situation would have it, it's broken...for about 2 more seconds that is
"Can you not talk about it right in front of the person in question?"
He grined, "If you don't like it..." He bent crouched down before blurring away "Then do something about it !" His voice echoed from my right-
"Oh I will" -and not even a blink later
*Boom!*
The ground cracked by the shear pressure from that clash between us
"Finally bringing out your true power" he says with the same grin from my left
"You don't look surprised" I ask staring at the red eyes without flinching
His eyes changed patterns once again, Mangekyo activated eh?
"These eye see more than just illusion and jutsus.." He fisked his hand before kicking me away "..They also see the truth!!" He was about to follow up with a attack but stopped
"Good for you" I whispered from the side as the me in the front vanishes like a mirage
He didn't even get the time to substitute before I pierced his chest, ripping his heart out from the other side and moved again right in front still holding his heart as he started coughing blood
"H-How?" He asked midst throwing up blood
"Magic" I smirked and he gave me the biggest 'Fuck you' look he could muster
I pulled my arm out letting him fall, "No really though, it's magic"
He started spitting blood and glared "I do not believe that"
I shrugged sitting next to him "It is what it is and honestly speaking you are in no position to say that Mr.Living Breathing Flamethrower"
"That is a new title" he chuckled
His breath has gotten soft, seems like he's kicking the bucket soon enough
So I continue, "Although it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth but I did cheat a little if that makes you feel better"
He smiled "I am a Shinobi, boy. We cheat all the time"
"Anything to survive, eh?"
*Cough* "Yes"
"Well that and I really didn't want to see you go through another powerup"
He sighed, "You knew?"
"Yup"
"Hashirama did say it was a bad habit"
"You're awfully quick to just accept that"
If he could, he would've shrugged but he simply settled for a wry smile, "What can I do about it now? I'm already dying"
"True" Seen too many beings have some similar last moment realizations. I have way too many enemies across the supernatural world. Let's just say this isn't the first time I killed a being who was stronger than me in base form
Like I said, there isn't much you can do when the strength of your opponent is overwhelmingly high, hence the second long fight
When the gap in strength that much. It isn't a fight, it's slaughter, unless one them is just playing aorund
Madara is strong no doubt about that, but I've faced beings that can wipe out his village and then some with a single spell
Perhaps he would've put up a fight if he had awakened the last stages of his eyes, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and he would've absolutely wiped the floor with me if he had the Rinnegan
Luckily for me, he didn't.
"I am sorry..." Looks like this is goodbye, "..to leave you the burden to you alone....Hashirama"
Uchiha Madara takes his last breath and finally leaves the world
I stood in silence for few seconds. I may not be a warrior and he may not have been the best guy around but he did give his best for his ideals. I can respect that
I was just thinking about burning his body when...it simply vanished
"Motherfu– Well, no matter. I killed you once I can kill you again" I stood with a sigh and turned and of course there still stands Madara Uchiha with one blind eye...Damn Izanagi
"You don't looked surprised" he says
"Let's just get this over with"
"Round 2 then?"
"Yes" This won't be eas—
"Oh fuck this"
We crouched, about to engage in another when we both noticed something, well-someone, sitting on a chair completely out place
For some reason I recognise the dude and stopped, Madara looked positively spooked judging by his rapidly changing face
"Can't I just skip this?" He asked to no one while trying to flip the book and he did [Oh looks like I can] he said, holding a page just shy from changing it but still keep muttering "So as long as it's not related to the main story I can skip it....fucking restrictions" He sighed and changed the page to next one
And what happened next was....weird to say
I...don't really know what happened, but it felt like I was dragged through time mentally, while my body went through motions through space. I saw myself fighting Madara but in 5x speed and before long I was standing once again over his corpse bur only this time, his eyes were white
I'm not proud to say I threw up, hard. Like someone ran me over with a truck and then decided it wasn't enough and shot a cannonball again before zapping me again for shits and giggles
"For fucks sake, why the fuck is this guy always the one noticing shit!?" I caught the man saying between waking and blanking out
"Welp fuck it, I'll figure it out as we go along anyway
⎎⍜⍀☌⟒⏁"
.....Oooookaay?
Why did Madara's eyes go white all of a sudden?
....Yeah screw it, I'll take any win I can even if it's weird one. Now just to wait for it–
[Trial Complete!]
Fucking knew it!!!!!
"!!!!" I'm suddenly hit with what can be considered as the worst headache in my entire life (last one included)
.....
.....
....
.....
....
...
..
.
I woke up after what felt like eternity still with a splitting headache and a sharp sting in my eyes and a pair of sky-blue eyes staring a bit too closely
"You have two seconds to back away before I poke your eyes out"
"Now that's just rude" said Rias but still moving away
I took a good look after feeling my body resting in a soft place amd turns out it's the couch from the Clu— Wait a minute....How the fuck did I get here!?
Last I checked I was still on my bed inside of my room the night after the mission ended
I quickly snapped my head towards her with suspicion, "For the record, I didn't kidnap you" she said rasing her hands
"Said the every kidnapper ever" I muttered quickly getting up only to fall face first into the ground
Rias took in a sharp hiss of air as I face planted,"Yeeeeeah I forgot about that part, sorry" She definitely wasn't
"Why am I in chains and more importantly.... is this made of Angel Ash!?!?" Talk about overkill
As you can guess, Angle Ash is like a mixture of poison and acid cranked up to be 1000× effective on demons. Yeah well, jokes on them I'm not a demon but still doesn't change the fact I'm tied up
She quickly unlocked the chains and stored them god knows where and gestured me to take a seat
"So.." she began
"Soooooo what?" I ask back
"What the hell happened to you?"
"I don't know"
"Really? You don't know?" She didn't buy it one bit
"Yeah, last thing I knew is going to sleep and the next, I wake up here on that, note how long did I sleep?"
She rubbed her face with a 'What the hell am I doing' gesture and sighed, "Okay then, where should I begin..."
What followed was a detailed explanation of what I did in past few months
Yup, months
Entire freaking Months!!! (Three to be exact)
Turns out I did a lot in that time frame
For starters I picked a fight with the Red Dragon Emperor aka Issei, who I still hate with my very being, so fuck him sideways;
Killed a lot of Yokais successfully pissing them off and almost declared war on them which thankfully didn't happen as Sirzechs, yup that guy, just knocked me out while apologising to the Fox- Yasaka and allowed them to get a small part of land in the Underworld;
Fought with Vali the White Dragon Emperor when he tried to kill Kiba for some reason and most importantly
"I tried to kiss you!?" I exclaimed in horror
"Fuck me to be exact but yes, that and that's the only thing that gets your attention?" She gave me a blank look
Now you might not find this as serious as me but you have to understand something, just cause I have Lust System doesn't mean I go around dicking everyone okay? I have standards and Rias may as well come close but she isn't there yet.....and also I don't wanna die cause of a certain siscon and yes, he has tried. Multiple times. Going as far to send assassins of Peak High Rank after me. Had to send a very clear message how pissed I was by chopping them to bits and sending them via courier with a big 'FuckOff' written in blood
I sat there looking at the celling when I noticed a un-read notification in the corner of my eye
[Read?] Eeh, might as well
[Congratulations on passing the Trails of The World
Gained:- EMS of Madara Uchiha, Gate of Babylon, 1/3 of the Nine-Tails Chakra, Healing Factor and Monster Strength of Hashirama Senju, Scroll of Seals]
....Okay?
'I can understand all the rewards related to the Naruto World but did it seriously try to sneak in something that broken? Not like I don't mind the extra reward but still, why though?'
[There weren't anymore suitable rewards left from the world]
'Nothing? Really? What about just Chakra from Ten Tails?'
[Tasks were insufficient for that reward]
'Fair enough, I did take outside help but why the heck simulated battles?'
[The world was destroyed]
'.....Oops?'
[...( •_•)...]
'Okay no need to emote' and Since when can it do this?
'Moving on, why was I offline for three months?'
[Trials] It answered
I waited but nothing else came up, 'That's it?'
[Yes]
'Oh come on, there must be something?'
[Yes, memories of the Trials are available. View them?]
I shrugged, 'Meh, why not? It wouldn't be that bad right?'
Then it came the very next moment, the flood of memories
I blanked out for about 4 seconds and this is with 「Parallel Minds」 (8 currently), 「Accelerated Thinking」 and 「Wisdom of Solomon」all working overtime to process all that information and after processing all that I only have one question
"How the fuck did I manage to beat Hashirama?"
"Beat who?" Asked Rias, the damn habbit of speaking outloud will be the death of me
"No one...where were we?" I almost forgot about her
Well there you have it, the reason why I have all the skills to speed up my thought process and multitask.
Can't be caught lacking while holding conversations with the system and blanking out mid fight can I?
As for my little slip, there is a good reason for that
You see during the trial, of you can even call it that, I couldn't use my usual skills like 「Appraisal 」 or 「Reveal 」 so I was down to basic sensing to get a surface estimation on someone's power and now it labeled them accurately and where does it rank The Hashirama Fucking Senju?
『Half-Transcendent 』
Yup
Not the Fake like it showed with Sirzechs or Michael but real one
Heck even Madara is ranked Fake Transcendent
Ofcourse not counting the Rinnegan and Kurama. Oh and apparently his level scaled on which eyes he was using hence another reason why I killed him that quick
I mean dude went from High Rank to Ultimate the moment he activated Sharingan and to Peak when he activated Mangekyo. No way in hell was gonna wait for another dramatic powerup
'Explanation please, my dear system'
[Of course, dear Host. Hashirama Senju is ranked as such because he has Transcended his species limit, atleast partially]
'Partially?'
[Yes. If he could maintain the so called Sage Mode all the time for 24/7 then he would Transcend the species limit and walk an entire new path]
'So basically he died young'
[Yes]
'And still Half-Transcendent?'
[Because he continued to haunt the narrative even after his death. The experiments to awaken his bloodline limit, Madara using his cells to awaken Rinnegan and cells powerful enough to kill anyone. He wasn't just a human, he was a force capable of changing the world by simply being present; even after death]
'...Are you seriously hyping him up?'
[...Yes] I have a feeling it's trying to avoid my eyes right now
'But he still died'
[True as his soul didn't reach the required level. Remember host, a Transcendent can die but killing one is never easy, even for a god]
'Is the hype that real?'
[Unfortunately yes. Each Transcendent is a being capable of killing Gods and the gods in this context are gods with a capital G, not your usual 'sightly powerful beings that can't be killed' but true 'reality warping-planets are toys' beings]
'Are you on something? Like some digital drug?'
[I am not my dear Host] I can almost hear sarcasm dripping in that
'OK, moving on.What are the ways to kill one?'
[The only way to kill an Transcendent is to become a Transcendent]
[ Only a Transcendent can kill another Transcendent]
'That doesn't sound impossible'
[You'll only know in future]
Definitely not ominous at al–
"Oh and Shiva's dead"
"...oh okay" It took a solid second to register that and I did a double take at her in disbelief "What did you just say?"
She shrugged and answered pretty nonchalantly, "Shiva the God of Destruction from Indian Pantheon is dead"
Oh...crap
Shit just went from 0 to 100 real fuxking quick
....
"But why him?"
ROB987 looked more annoyed than angry at being interrupted as he turned towards Lily who was siting on his bed, naked and leaking from her every hole.
He sighed, "Remind again why I even keep you around?"
She started listing off while counting, "Because you have no one else on the inside of the Company, I'm a pretty durable toy and you have nothing else to do"
The corner of his lips twitched as her words hit all points true. His eyes drifted beyond the Veil into his domain, a heaven of depravity. Laid in a giant hall were women of various species human, demon, catgirls, elfs heck even female orcs and goblins and even few godesses. Each had a face of ecstacy and locked in constant orgasm, their minds already beyond repair
He turned his gaze away back to Lily who was staring, waiting and nodded, 'Got the durable part right'
Pausing the feed showing Osker with Rias, he tossed her a can of drink and snapped his fingers. She was clean and dressed before she even caught the can
ROB987 turned back towards the screen and Lily walked while drinking, in two steps she already emptied the can and tossed it away
"It's because of this" said ROB987 feeling the familiar weight of her assets on his head and opening the file
"...The heck?" She muttered reading the information on it
[Osker McGrath Match 99.99%]
It was almost absurd but it was still very much real
"B-But how?"
"Hence why I called him a glitch"
No two individuals were the same even if they were twins especially not when they were strangers...atleast not naturally and yet here was the anomaly
Two people who had same habits, same experience in life, almost the same story onky different ends and ages
That 0.01% difference was his age
Ethan Stormborn was older than Osker McGrath and yet they were almost the same.
Lily didn't even know what to say anymore. She simply handed the file back, walked towards the bed and flopped down
ROB987 raised his brow with amusement clear in his eyes
"You don't want to know more?"
"Nope. I don't hear anything" she answered while putting a pillow on her head. Sometimes, ignorance wasn't just bliss but also survival.
She knew asking questions on wrong topics would end up with her in some place forgotten. Many have been disposed of in such a way, she won't be the first nor the last, better to forget about it all
ROB987 smiled, leting the folder dissappear from his hands into particles of blue, "I have another assignment for you." he said pulling another file from thin air
Lily took it, gave it a look and did a double take almost immediately, "Master I mean no disrespect but, are you perhaps losing your braincells?"
And she got bonked right after with the same folder
"Just get the job done" he said with a deadpan, waving his hand and opening a portal right below a bewildered Lily who positively did the only thing anyone would do in that situation
"MO##S##*#*#*#!!" Unleashing a string of curses on her way out
"I still don't know why I keep her around" he shook his head and went back to whatever he was doing...which is absolutely nothing, just staring at the blank screen not even noticing the person siting right behind him, reflecting on it
[....that explains the 4th wall breaking] But the figure didn't stay for long and looked somewhere else as a smile slowly spread on his face [Well ain't this intresting?]
-----------------------------
•The Garden•
A portal opened few meters above ground and a figure dropped right in middle of the stone path
"Ow" Lily muttered while rubbing her back "Mean Master" she grumbled
She was about to walk but the moment she took a step, she burst into flames
Not even ashes remained by the time flames went out
"This is a pain every single time" muttered a woman who was sitting on a bench right besides where Lily died
"Then why do it?"
"Because that's the only way to get out of his control and I have to make sure to erase any Pollution and Corruption before gaining my memories back or they... will ...just...."
She slowly paused as awareness came back to her dazed eyes
She slowly turned to her side and saw a unknown man sitting besides her with a newspaper in hand
"Well..... It really does feel weird going from one dimension to another like this" he said still keeping his eyes on the paper
"....Why are you reading a blank newspaper?" She said not minding the strangeness of the situation even a bit
"So that's how you see it? A newspaper?" Said the man and folded the paper before keeping it in his coat, "Well then, Miss Lily" he looked at her "We have a lot to discuss"
And Lily for some reason wasn't even on guard or panicking she just asked "And who are you Mr....?"
"For reasons, such as not wanting to destroy this continuity, I can't say my name, so just call me by my old name"
Her eyes went wide as she realized who the man was, "Ethan Stormborn?"
"And nice to meet you too, Lily Evans Potter or perhaps I should call you Agent7701?"
Agent7701 was her official designation in the Company as a System Maker and Awakener. She clenched the file on her lap before sighing in resignation, "How?" She asked
Ethan smiled lightly, "You wouldn't believe me even if I told you"
He stood up with his hand held out towards her, "Let's go"
She hesitated for few seconds before taking it and both vanished like a glitch in reality
