"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
A kid, about 16 years of age was falling down from a bridge, into the deepest depths of the labyrinth after a roague attack hit him.
"SAKAZUKIIIIIIII!"
Screamed the othermembers of the party as they outstretched their hands to catch him.
Alas, it was too late as they couldn't grab his hand and he fell deep inside the Labyrinth.
The last thing he saw was the appearence of someone smirking as he fell.
He couldn't make out their appearence very well but he realised that it must have been deliberate.
All he could do was feel despair as he fell to his death.
...
Or so he thought, rather... he fell into a pond at the deep depths of the labyrinth.
*Splash*
As he fell a loud splashing sound rang as he started drowning.
Just in time, he started regaining his senses and started swimming up again.
He felt lucky for still being alive after a fall like that, as he came out of that unnaturally deep pond.
But, the moment he came out of the pond, he saw a hungry monster watching him as it licked it's lips.
"AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"
He shouted, in despair as he watched an unmatchable monster watch him like an easy prey.
He didn't know what floor he fell into but he knew it must be pretty deep for a monster like this to come out.
"UWAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOO!!!"
It roared as it leapt towards him.
He tried dodging the incoming attack but it was too fast as he dug at the young man, Sakazuki's stomach as it gave 3 claw marks on his stomuch.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHH! Shit, shit... why? Why is this happening to meeeee!!!"
He couldn't believe his insane bad luck.
He despaired as he ran, trying to get away from the monster.
It followed him in an insanely fast speed, which should be insanely hard for it's size.
He looked back to see if it was gone but... right at the moment he looked back, it clawed at his face.
Cutting a big part of his face.
Causing 3 claw marks on his face...
Luckily it didn't effect his eyes, since they appeared fine.
He ran again, without stopping.
He was confident in his speed, which was his greatest power but he was truly pathetic when it came to other things.
Now that the monster was faster and stronger than him... there was no way he could get out of this situation.
He was done for, he thought...
"Fuck, i can't die... not until i fulfill my promise to my parents."
He thought about the promise he made to his parents as a child.
He could never break that promise, he was the only one they were truly depend on.
They had no one else.
He realsied at that moment who he was and what he did in his past life.
He believed that at some point of his endless life cycles he was an Army officer and his delusions somehow made him think they were real.
Making him think like a real army officer, when faced with advisory... keep a level head, Don't let fear give in.
Find all necessary possibilities and find a way out.
'I am fast, but i am unable to use it effectively because i am not calm at all.'
He, suddenly found himself getting calmer and calmer.
He started seeing his surroundings better and better, he realised that this monster might not be intelligent.
I just have to lose his tail somehow.
And so he started running, this time more efficiently.
Effectively breaching barriers and running faster and faster, He started losing him thanks to the obsticles around him.
His Stamina wasn't eldless, his on the other hand was high.
He would use the remainder of his energy to efficiently lise his tail.
So he ran, sometimes straight, and sometimes taking turns near poles and pillers and big rocks and sometimes even running straight at him and leaping on top of him to leave his tail.
After an hour of running and running and running.
He finally found a small cave and leaped forward.
"Create"
He chanted, and smashed the somewhat hard rock using a very big hammer he invisioned and than broke the wall on the other side and jumped to his left.
The monster broke through the cave very easily and ran straight.
And than halted for a bit
"Create"
Sakazuki Chanted again.
"Kuhhh"
The hammer turned into a sword and pierced right through the monster's heart.
Before he could even react, his heart was pierced.
His other skill except acceleration was his ability to create things.
He'd taken the big boulder to turn it once into the shape of a hammer to break through the rocks in the cave and the second time changed that Hammer into a sword.
It was a stone sword but because he invisioned it to be the sharpest sword in existance, it turned into the sharpest stome sword.
"I wonnnnn!!! I FUCKING WOONNNNNNNN!!!!"
Piercings through the monster's body easily.
He used the tip because he knew if he used the edges, the edges would break and render him powerless.
The tip was always the strongest part of a double edged sword.
Especially one as sharp as this.
His single moment of delusions had turned him into a calm man, turning the tides completely in his favour.
He used the tactic, act weaker than you are and use your trump card when the enemy has underestimated you to a certainity that he thought you were worthless.
That was the essence of a dark duel.
And, anything is fair in love and war.
That was what his mentor said to him.
...
He found a safe place to inhabit for a bit as he looked at his stats.
"I can't believe it... that delusion actually worked. Who'd have guessed, I'd do something like that. Maybe i really am as cool as those dreams state me to be...
Like, saving the world, Becoming an army officer, destroying some organisation called world government, playing a game called cricket, Being liked by a billion women from different worlds... Well maybe that part is exaggerated."
"Still though... I levelled up quite a bit. Also, my creation magic went up too..."
He was excited about his prospect of leveling up but than soon went into a depressive state.
"Who am i kidding? I was almsot killed, is this my way of coping that someone tried to kill me."
In fact, he was trying to conveniently forget about how he was betrayed and fell here but was still somehow dragged back to reality.
"That's not Important, For now... my main motive was to get out of here."
For a second, a negative emotion surged in.
A pessimistic thought of 'Will i be able to?'.
