Chapter 1 - volume 1 : Birth of the Glitch

chapter 1

Opening into a world where the sky wasn't blue; it was the color of a bruised lung, heavy with the soot of a thousand dissolved and destroyed cities. A man Kael pressed his back against a slab of crumbling concrete, listening to the wet, heavy thud of his opponent's footsteps drawing closer. In the distance, the shimmering edge of the Sphere hummed—a battle that promised a wish to the winner and a nameless grave to the loser. 

His lungs burned. Every breath tasted like copper and old smoke. He reached into his tactical vest, searching for a grenade, a knife, anything—but his fingers found only a heavy, rusted scissors he had scavenged from the ruins of a school. 

The footsteps stopped. "End of the road, Kael," a voice rasped from the pullulated fog. 

Kael closed his eyes. He wrapped his scarred fingers around the jagged blade of the scissors. He didn't see a piece of scrap metal. In the theater of his mind, he began to reshape it. He imagined the blade of it turning red and expanding into the size of his whole hand, held in the palm of his hand. 

The scissors began to shine. The rust didn't fall off—it turned into sparks. Making sounds of snip and snaps around sphere vibrating through all metal. 

"You're dead meat now," Kael whispered. 

As the scissors grew and shined, the man chasing Kael (Reiner) has a glove with a skull imprinted on it turns it into a skeleton body shield which out grows him and enhance his physical abilities also having a giant skeleton behind to fight for him. Kael shows a set of skills on close combat swinging the scissors around him and plunging it to ground as it cracks the floor, he stands on the scissors getting ready for the final fight between him and Reiner 

 

As they stare at each other eye to eye; Kael thinks "what I am going to do after this fight, make another stupid wish like the other times, it's world chaos outside this sphere, how many more do I have to kill , how many more do I have lose in this Hellscape of a world." 

The next move was Reiner's, and he quickly throws a barrage of punches with his new enhanced gloves (which can break building in a punch) called Skullesta. Kael blocks the attack with his giant scissors and then swings it towards Reiner, Reiner dodges, and Kael ends up slicing a boulder into two pieces. Reiner's giant skeleton then admits to smash Kael and fails. Reiner in the hast of winning the fight reveals one of his abilities, which is to summon skeletons of any size and number. Kael again, feeling cornered by his opponent goes in a frieze and starts cutting everything he sees. Reiner seeing this starts laughing and says "heyyyy dumbass you really think you can beat me , it doesn't matter how many sphere fights you won or how many people you killed, in the end your just weak man and no one to go back other than your stupid sister maybe after i kill you i might take knock at her as well". 

Hearing Reiner talk about him and his sister like that made him even angrier than before. Now each swing of his cut through buildings and land without even touching it. Reiner then makes all his skeletons attack Kael from all directions. Surrounded by the skeletons, Kael uses one of his abilities from the scissors which was the ability to cut anything and everything in perfect symmetry with a certain range. This clears up a path for Kael to Reiner; he swings the scissors at Reiner and blows a direct hit. There was blood spilling from wound across Reiner's body, Reiner spat out blood and got on his knees; as Kael was about end him screaming 'Go to hell, you bastard' a burst of flaming energy comes from Reiner's body, and it heals the wound. Reiner stands up and says "Now you have done monkey" as blue flames bursting out his eyes and mouth. The giant skeleton behind also starts igniting in blue flames and then reveals it as his final ability. The heat from Reiner's blue flames was unnatural; it didn't just burn Kael's shirt away; it scorched the very air in his lungs. Stripped to the waist, Kael's ribs stood out like the bars of a cage. His body was a map of scars and malnutrition, held together by nothing but spite and the weight of his giant, glowing blades. 

Reiner without hesitation starts attacking with flaming punches with his Skullesta. As Kael parries, all the attacks with his blades of the scissors start chipping away due to the heated punches. Kael, being cornered for the third time, decided to use his last ability called 'REALITY FLIM EDITING' which allows him to see the reality around as a film and cut certain portions out of it with his scissors. As Kael activated 'Reality Film Editing,' the world lost its color, turning into a grainy, flickering reel and using this ability he cuts off Reiner's flames and giant out of reality making Reiner powerless. Kael quickly cuts his head off quoting "And that's the end of this scene bitch" which brings to an end of the fight in the sphere. 

As Reiner's body burns from the remaining flames, the sphere speaks and asks Kael, "what is that you wish for young man, i shall grant it to you." 

Kael after killing 73 people who were dragged into this fight without any will to participate in it, started to think about wish for hundred time is it for food, is it for water, is it for money or something else. He spoke to himself "Even if I wish for any of these things people outside the sphere will just attack us and take away from us, i wouldn't have the powers of these scissors which were granted to me by the sphere outside it. What should I do, what should I do, what should I do, Damm it what should I wish for." 

Kael confused on what to wish for started banging his head on floor as it stared to bleed, he though what way was the best possible to protect his dear sister, the last remaining precious thing in this world to him. He suddenly stopped banging head covered in blood and said, "hey sphere i have decided on a wish to make, I wish to keep the power of the sphere with me outside the sphere as well." The sphere repieled to Kael, saying that there was rumor about the people who have wished for the same disappear along with the sphere. Kael hell bend getting the powers made the wish get the powers, and sphere agreed to it as well. The sphere slowly started to deform and the walls of the sphere became clearer and see through. 

Sadly, to sight of Kael had witnessed he regretted it all. The sight was a man stabbing his sister to dead for the bread in her hand. Kael tried to save her, but the walls have not fully deformed and so he fails he sits there crying and regretting making that wish, then wished if could make wish bring her back to life or he could wish to make her immortal or something like that. As he sits there in anguish the particles from the sphere start to move towards him and enters him; suddenly he feels as if thousands of spears pierced through him in an instant, his body started to burn up it was hotter than the flames of Reiner, the nerves started feel like they being electrocuted. He started floating slight of the ground as it shatters, small objects like rocks started attaching to him, soon after big buildings also came flying towards him as if he were some sort of blackhole, because of all the pain Kael blanked out. 

Kael slowly opens his eyes to see clear blue sky and bright sun blinding him 

End of chapter one

Chapter 2 

As Kael wakes up to this strange place which so different from the world he was in, he notices that the skies are in weird color of which he has never seen, the orange ball in the sky so bright that he can't look at it, the so fresh that it hurts his lungs when breaths. Suddenly Kael remembers the pain his homeland getting destroyed, his stab to dead by man. Small droplets of water slide over Kael dry face as he screams 'nooooooooooooooooooo' 

A sudden sound from the trees next to land woke up from, a man yelled "I think i found her, that level zero rouge, I heard a scream ahead." 

It was the holy knights of the Auximon Kingdom known as the Silver-Vein knights. The knights run out of the forest as it seemed they were hunting some rouge. The knights run towards the sound to find it was crying. The captain of the knights Larnel says "Look at this man so shabby covered dust and dirt all over his body, it looks like he hasn't eaten for days. What poor man, Neil check his soul script and tell me his level." 

Neil responds, "yes captain!" as he pulls out a small staff out the bag attached to his horse. He starts reciting words that Kael couldn't understand. And final Neil says, "Project script". A blue hologram in size of paper forms between Neil and Kael as it reads error. Seeing the error in the script, Larnel gets confused and ordered Neil to do it again, alas the same result had occurred. Larnel raged and confused by the script calls Kael a demon because of the error. The hologram turns red and shows symbols that Neil has never before his life even after reading the scripts of person in the kingdom, junior knights seeing this felt a sense of terror running through them, wondering kind of creature could he be. Larnel pulls out the holy spear which is a holy treasure (which is the fifth highest rarity of treasure held by mankind in that world). It has the ability to amplify the force of the spear by condensing light according to the emotions of the user. Larnel in rage point the spear towards Kael while holding it above head with both hands, as it glows from light condensing on itself. 

 

Kael looking at the spear brought back the survival instincts from the sphere where he had fight kill others to survive. As he looks at the ground to find a piece of thread on floor from his pants as he grabs it and imagines it as a tight black rope that ties around himself across his body like armor. 

The spear makes contact with the black rope surrounding Kael's body blocks it completely; the outlash force sends both of them flying in opposite directions. Kael looks at the black rope and gets confused as he doesn't see the walls of sphere around, but he didn't have time to worry about it as he is facing a knight holding a spear. The junior knight takes out the bows and aims it that Kael, Neil commands them to fire but Kael deflects it all, Kael then extends a portion of rope outside his palm to use it like a whip and lashes out on some of the knights. 

Larnel holds his spear in one hand while charging it with light and throws it at Kael, which is direct hit, even if Kael's body was protect by the black rope the force was too strong for the rope armor to handle and caused Kael to spit blood. Kael tries to stand up but his whole started to ache, it seems that the blackhole incident had taken a toll on Kael's body. Kael in this state uses one of ability which was amplification of strength by tightening the ropes around him, the tighter the rope the stronger his attacks are. 

Kael using the ropes like whips attacks the knights knocking them all out except Neil. Neil then pulls his shield out, which was also a holy treasure, protecting the target from all directions at once. Kael then makes an attempt to escape into the woods by using the ropes as a Grappler but was suddenly stopped by Larnel and his spear. Kael then spins like a top, creating a big tornado, giving him a chance to run into the woods. Larnel and Neil follow him into forest, Kael not being able to lose them in the chase decides to use advanced ability like the reality film editing but this time it was called connection threads which allows which to see all sorts of connections in the form of threads, it includes the connections between the eyes and the brain during eye coordination and etc. This ability aloud him move into the blind spots of Larnel and Neil but suddenly Kael eyes and ears start to bleed, falling down on the ground and the area around him started to darken and lose it's color, the tree started to collapse and decompose. A burst of sphere energy sends Neil and Larnel flying. 

Kael notices a scarf stained in blood beside his hand, as he holds on to Larnel gets ready to strike the ground with enough force to wipe out half the forest. Kael is currently too weak to move, and his black rope armor returns to being a piece of thread. 

In this moment of life and death, a mysterious figure emerges the shadow caring Kael away from the attack and him into an underground tunnel to escape the knight for good. Kael thanks the mysterious figure, the figure herself to be the rouge that the knights were chasing, and it was her fault that he got dragged into this. She reveals her name to be Vesper. 

Vesper notices the wounds on Kael and thinks it is from the fight knights so compensate she uses a healing portion on him to heal him to a certain extent. Kael notices the scarf on his hand which grabbed before the attack from Larnel, then realizes that the scarf belonged to his sister and stain on it was her blood from the stabbing. Kael again to cry but in silent manner as if honoring her dead. 

Vesper, confused by the sight of Kael crying, asks him what happened to him. As Kael wears the scarf around him, he reveals his name to Vesper and then said. 

End of chapter two 

 

Chapter 3 

"I'm the ghost of a world that didn't want to die... and I think I'm the only piece of it that refused to stay buried." 

Vesper responded with "A ghost, huh? Well, in this kingdom, even the dead have a Script to follow. If you really are from 'somewhere else,' you're the first thing in a thousand years that the Golden Ratio hasn't accounted for." 

"The Golden ratio, who are they?" asked Kael. Vesper answering "The Golden Ratio is the highest position a knight can obtain, as the mathematical expression golden ratio symbolizes perfection, The Knights of The Golden Ratio is also perfect in very way. A single member of this knightly order can wipe out entire cities without effort. The Knights of foundation or the people who you just fought were just the sub-unit of the Golden Ratio. Anyway, tell me about this world of yours." 

Kael goes on explaining about his old world as follows "it was said that hundred of years ago the land was peaceful, beautiful and evergreen. No pollution, wars, or any other harmful things, but one day 10 people were caught up in a sphere. It had lustrous green colored walls; the people worried about the ones who were inside they tried to break it in serval ways but failed to do so. After a whole month, the walls started to disappear and only one man made it out alive. The man explained that they were forced to fight each other, and the winner will be granted a wish. As time went by, these spheres started appearing everywhere in the world. In this sphere, the participants get powers matching the weapons or objects they were holding. This brought chaos into the world, the population of the world decreased, there were food shortages, and this caused three great wars among the countries. I was born into a family of five: a small sister, a big brother and two parents, when I was eleven and my sister was nine, our parents and brother got into a sphere, after the sphere disappeared our brother was the last standing. He went and told as that he had kill our parents to survive. We three lived on even if our felt more distant, two years later our brother killed himself from guilt of our killing our parents. 

 

Until yesterday it was me and my sister against the world but then suddenly i got into sphere, which was not a problem, only thing was a problem that my sister had to wait for me outside alone. I won the thing with mutating a scissors into a reality film editor, but when the fight finished and the sphere was coming down, I witnessed my sister being stabbed to dead for piece of bread I gave her to hold onto and then the wish I made was to keep my powers outside sphere to protect her, so I think when I getting the powers I turned into a blackhole, sucking the whole world with me." 

Vesper was shocked by the whole story about a world full of chaos and tragedy and also the fact that Kael can convert any object into a world destroying power. She though using Kael as mean to kill the gods and stop this scripted world for good. 

Kael asks Vesper, "What's your story lady and is with this script thing the knights babbling about?." Vesper goes on explaining that this world is a world fully scripted by the gods from the birth of the first human to end of the world, every living thing is born with a soul script which tells them about their abilities. Some may be a level one baker and some maybe or some maybe level ten mage. I was born to a noble family and was raised by one till I turned five, it was a customary tradition that all children must check their script at the age of five at the holy temples of each city, I had really loving parents from birth but even the time come they left me. During my script reading day all the big nobles were invited to watch as well and when my script was shown, everyone was in utter disbelief that a child of a noble can scripted to be a level zero commoner. My family within a year disowned and put me in a faraway orphanage outside the country. Then I met my brother not related by blood but one who truly takes care of you. He was also expelled like me but for a reason completely different than mine. He was born to script as a master of dark magic and that of level he chooses to be in. The kingdom tried to kill but failed many times. With his magic he changed my script, but this also made me wanted like him. 

As Vesper finishes her story, she pulls out a staff that was of the same kind Neil was holding. Vesper does the same incantations as Neil then reveal her own script, showing Kael that whatever she said was the truth. Vesper then holds out a knife asks Kael show his powers to her. Kael tries to imagine it as something, and it starts to glow brighter but fails to do so. 

 

 

Kael tells her he is not able to make it into a stronger weapon, asked to use the script reader on him. Vesper does according to his wishes and again the same red hologram shows up with weird symbols. As these symbols are from his old world he understood that his power to convert things can only work on things from his world. Vesper gets the idea of taking Kael to her brother to change his weird script so that he fight with objects of this world. 

While this conversion was going, the knights recovered and one of them was sent the kingdom to report this incident and Larnel not being able accept the defeat or escape found the entrance to tunnels. He charges spear with light planning to crash Kael and the rouge inside strike the ground. 

As Kael accepts the plan of Vesper light burst out cracks in ceiling and the whole tunnel starts shaking. It starts to collapse and big piece of rocks were about hit them 

End of chapter three 

 

 

Chapter 4 

As the ceiling collapses and big rocks are about to fall on Kael and Vesper, Kael quickly grabs on to the scarf which he put around his neck using his ability on it. The blue scarf grows longer and thicker towards the ends; the color of blood stains takes over the scarf. The scarf raps around them like a cocoon protecting them from the rocks. The scarf had turned into extra pair limbs, Kael smells scarf which smelled like his sister and behind him a figure of a lady had formed. The smell of his sister had his survival instincts kick in, Kael uses his scarf which can extend to any length to safely land on the ground with Vesper in his hands. Neil commands the knights to active their weapon which are bows but the thread is made of the light condensed by Larnel's spear, the bows could make arrows out of light which were more powerful normal arrows and fire them at will. The knight starts shooting the arrows, Kael uses the scarf hands to clap create a strong wave defending against the arrows. 

Larnel charged up his spear for the next attack called lance frenzy which are hundred strikes from the spear within less than a minute, Kael knew he couldn't block the attack with the scarf as it would just pierce through it. Kael uses his first ability to change the material of the threads in the scarf toward it's ends, he the material into a hard metal his old world called Laritene which is the hardest metal in the old world. The scarf now blocks all hundred strikes, Kael took the opportunity to attack them by jumping up high in the air above and using both the scarf hands to smash them, Neil uses his shield and enlarges it to protect the whole squad. The smash was strong enough to break the edge of the shield. The knights shoot the second round at Kael who still in the air, Kael spins around in the air redirects some at the knights killing a few of them. 

 

Kael then uses his second ability which was grow more scarf hands out of him and use them to kill the remaining junior knights. One of the arrows had redirected at Neil leaving just few seconds to live. Larnel seeing Neil in this was raged, ignoring Neil who was to dead he grabs the shield and combines it's power with the spear's. 

Combining the powers gave Larnel three shields rotating around him as well as three spears to attack with. It gave him the prefect defense and offence; Kael did want to back down so used advanced ability as well which was called Scarf souls.  

The lady figure behind Kael was the soul of his sister and this ability infuses the soul into the scarf hands giving each hand a mind of this own but still shares same motive as Kael, it also enhances the physical abilities of Kael including his reflexes. This made Kael like a living monster with ten independent arms which carry the motive killing Larnel. 

Larnel doesn't waste time and charges all three spears and throws them at Kael; Kael uses three hands each to a spear. The force from throw shatters the ground, regardless of that Kael throws back all three spears with the same force, and Larnel uses the shields to block them. Kael uses the shattered rumbles of the ground and throws them at Larnel hoping it would do damage, but the shields block it. 

They both understood that only close combat could decide a winner to this fight to the death. Larnel fuses the shields into one and the spears into one, whereas Kael binds himself with the extra scarf and made them sink into his body, leaving him with two scarf hands and normal hands with blue and red lines flow through it. 

Kael makes the first move by charging in with a punch which was blocked by Larnel's shield in his hand, followed by Larnel swing his spear down with tremendous force, Kael dodges the attack but the hit ground splitting the land in two. Kael responds by holding both of Larnel's hands with the scarf and giving him a right jab, followed by Kael standing on his left hand and giving a hard kick on the face sending flying. Kael then uses his scarf on a tree and launches himself into the air and uses the smash attack from before but stronger on to Larnel. 

 

 

As Kael walks away thinking that Larnel is down from good, Larnel stands up getting ready to use his ultimate attack, Larnel's attacks are amplified by his emotions and right now what Larnel is feeling right now is beyond quite simple emotion, it is cluster of them. This that this attack is powerful enough completely wipeout the entire area maybe even kill himself in the process. 

Kael's mind worked faster when he sensed threat of death from Larnel, he thought of something that could have made him win the fight from the starting. Kael ran towards Vesper and raped themselves in cocoon again but this time he changed the material to crystal, as it reflects light which means completely defend against Larnel's attacks which were based on light condensation. 

The attack destroyed the area and killed Larnel, it sent the cocoon flying into tree because of the force. The cocoon opens and Vesper sees the bottom half of Larnel's body standing and the top part burned and, on the floor lied the broken pieces of his spear. 

Kael sits upright as his scarf turns back into the blue blood stained scarf of his sister but before it completely went away he was able to talk to his sister's soul, where she told him not worry and thanked him for what he had done for her all these years. The scarf turns back and Kael collapses from the fight. 

As Kael wakes away thinking that Larnel is down from good, Larnel stands up getting ready to 

Vesper notices the ground around Kael starts losing it's color and his scarf started to deform into particles and enter him. Also, when the scarf went away under it, there was a knife with blood stains on it. 

 Vesper not knowing what to do decides to go the town nearby so that Kael can recover from fight then go meet her brother
