" Brother".
I open my eyes.
With my head resting on my arm, I just look at the roof.
" What do you need?".
My voice sounds like it doesn't care.
It has no emotion.
I keep my head empty and devoid of thoughts.
" Brother, what's with that reply?".
Vaelthor smiles.
He walks closer to my throne.
" Today's your birthday!?".
I close my eyes.
" I stopped celebrating my birthday long ago".
" You had to disturb me for this?".
My brother's face suddenly becomes serious.
" No, I need you to use your most powerful but consequencial ability*.
' You people stopped caring about me long ago'.
' You only care about my power'.
' Only mother still cares'.
" I'm tired right now" .
" Come back at nightfall".
" Okay brother".
He turns.
" Rest well".
He starts walking to the exit.
I open left eye slightly and look at my brother.
' I don't see any emotion of hate, envy, jealousy'.
' He thinks I don't know about everything he does'.
I close my eyes.
But the throne room doors open again.
I hear the guard that has entered panting .
He kneels below my throne.
" What?".
I don't move or open my eyes.
' The guards thought are' He doesn't look surprised''.
' Did he know I'm coming?'.
" I of course knew you were coming and I know the reason you have disturbed my rest"
He shivers.
He bangs his head in the floor.
" My king, I am sorry!!" .
" This foolish guard deserves death!!!".
" Yes you do deserve death".
" What you have come here to disturb me for can be handled by you simple guards".
" But you can't do it because you always rely on your king to solve everything".
" And you have disturbed my rest".
" Just tell those who have attacked the castle that the king is currently resting in the throne room".
" Yes my king!".
He bangs his head in the floor yet again.
He turns around and walks to the door.
But before he could leave, I speak.
" And just tell the loudest shouter you know, to shout throughout the city that the serial killer enters the prison in an hour, that is the king's order".
He kneeled while I was speaking.
" Yes my king!".
And he leaves.
' They always want me to personally move'.
' Why are you guys so useless'.
' Don't I have friends?'.
My thoughts go quiet when I think about friends.
' I expected me to suffer the moment I reincarnated'.
'.I was right'.
' I expected to end up lonely or loved by all'.
' I can be hated by all, feared by all, but that has never given me what I truly want'.
' And the rules would never allow me to just alter history like that'.
' When I used to read novels, I thought if I reincarnated, life would be far better'.
' But I grew up'.
' Novels at the end of the day are fiction'.
' Even if reincarnation is real and you go to another world'.
' You might not learn magic, be strong enough'.
' And the most likely thing is you would suffer as much as you would enjoy'.
' Or maybe suffer more'.
' Master told me once that characters in fiction think they are real, but they are not'.
' Even we can just be characters in fiction, and in the end think we are real'.
' I wonder why he was always in his phone when poasible'.
' That is still one of the mysteries even I haven't solved'.
I just think random thoughts as I wait for nightfall.
After a while, the throne room door opens.
Vaelthor enters.
" Brother nightfall has come".
" I know".
I open my eyes.
I look at Vaelthor.
' His not telling me to use it for and evil purpose'.
" How long should it be active?".
I sit straight on my throne.
" Ten seconds is enough brother".
The smile on his face becomes ever brighter.
' Expectations can be the reason you and the reason you fall'.
I say that in my heart.
" The skill is active".
My brother looks at the wall on my left.
He throws a fireball at it.
BOOOOOMM!!
The palace shakes.
' One'.
I start counting seconds in my mind.
" Hahahahahahahahhhaaaaa!!!".
My brother suddenly starts laughing crazily.
' Two'.
I then sense the presence of some evil beings I sealed not too long ago.
' Three'.
" Brother, you have given me what I want!".
" So I will show you".
The last sentence is said quietly by Vaelthor.
' Four'.
I see the indescribable evil beings appear behind Vaelthor.
' Five'.
I feel something off.
' Six'.
I don't stand up of my throne, but I look around.
And what I see makes my eyes go wide.
My face pales.
' Seven'.
I look at the evil beings near Vaelthor.
The expectations of the people.
' Eight'.
I stand up.
For the first time of the day, I stand up.
I look at the position of the sun.
Its almost gone.
' Nine'.
" Vaelthor".
' Ten'.
" Selarion".
" My plan is complete".
" Your plan is complete".
We say it at the same time.
I then look down.
But I don't see just Vaelthor and the evil beings.
I see mother and father too.
Bloody, teared clothes, severe Injuries and in the floor.
" M..m.mm.m.mother?".
My lips quiver as I talk.
" M...mother, a..re...you okay?".
But she doesn't answer.
" I told you brother".
The smile on Vaelthor's face becomes cold.
" I will show you".
The beings just stand there.
Vaelthor just stands there.
But I just stand there.
Tears start sliding down my face.
' The fourth time I have ever cried in this life'.
" Why are so set in taking my parents away from everytime".
I lift my hand.
I don't look.
" Prepare to attack!".
My brother shouts at the indescribable evil beings.
The smile on brother's face disappears.
" Where are his attacks?".
One of the indescribable evil beings ask my brother.
" You wouldn't believe me if I told".
I lower my hand quickly.
' I guess I should just at least try even if this is hopeless'.
And suddenly the whole castle explodes.
" The rain is falling!".
I say quietly.
I teleport a short distance away.
I look at the where the castle originally was.
All sorts of things falls where it was.
Fire, Ice, earth and many other things.
And they come in all shapes.
And they just fall like rain.
BOOM!
CRASH!
KRAK-KOOM!
SHWISH! SHWISH! SHWISH!
THOOM!
CRACK!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
And they drop continuously.
' I did a good job by taking us to a dimension I don't give a damn about'.
Planets, space and it all are getting destroyed by the attack.
' I guess I shouldn't restrict it to one area of this dimension so they can't escape it'.
I let the attack fall like rain.
Explosions, things disappearing, space cracking is happening all around me.
But I don't care about anything here.
' Let me sit down and drink tea or something'.
I summon my throne and personal table.
I sit down on the throne.
Food then magically appears on the table.
' Well, I haven't eaten in a long time'.
" Brother, you think this is enough to kill us!!!".
" Of course not".
I talk quietly,but my voice reaches every single corner through all this.
My brother appears at the opposite of me .
He summons his throne and sits down.
Suddenly many of these world shaking attacks get directed towards me and move away from my brother.
We start eating.
" Brother, do you think you can do all you want in this fight".
My brother throws swords and spears at me as I eat.
As well as redirecting some of the world shattering attacks.
" Of course I can".
The world shattering attacks don't reach me as they disappear before they do.
" You won't be singing the same tune for long".
He abruptly stands up and throws a punch at me.
I dismiss the table and throne before they can get damaged and catch his punch.
" Do you really think I don't have a way to counteract the ability?".
He didn't flinch at my words.
" Use it and you finish us off quickly?".
Then one of the indescribable evil beings comes and attacks me from behind.
I try moving away as fast as I can from the indescribable evil being's strike, but I move sluggishly and get hit.
A long diagonal slash on my back from my left shoulder to my waist.
' Doesn't matter'.
' It will heal'.
But that is when the another one of them uses a long range beam as big as twenty metres aimed at the left side of chest.
But I dodge and my just gets slightly grazed.
' Poison in an attack like that'.
' Inpressive'.
I smile.
My brother rushes at me.
" This is getting fun brother".
I pull out a mask from my independent space.
I put it on my face.
I get all my weapons from my personal space and make them float around me.
" let me show you a real fight!".
. . . . . . . . . . .
After the battle
Selarion is on the ground as his brother pulls him by the leg.
In the brothers other hand, there 9 wooden figures shaped as people.
"Selarion, you always thought you were above all when you got the power".
Selarion doesn't respond.
He jingles the wooden figures with a piece of string that he hanged on top of them.
" These people were the closest but furthest from reaching your power".
He brings up to his face.
" If it was not because of that wicked ability of yours, I would have killed you and them".
He smiles.
" But I will kill you the moment you leave the ability's protection".
He reaches the end of the world.
Normally even if you reach the end of the world, you were supposed to see the skies and more of the world.
But, this time, there seems to be a portion of this world cut long ago.
Vaelthor looks down at the infinite black space.
" The nine of you are useless".
He dangles them at the edge of the land, right on top of the infinite space.
" Make sure you never return".
He then lets them go without any hesitation.
They fall.
And using a bit of energy, he makes them go far away from the planet.
" Brother, you will be hunted soon when you arrive".
He lifts Selarion up by the leg and positions him at the top of the infinite space.
" I just hope you don't...".
Many figures flash in his mind for a few seconds, making him involuntary shiver.
" I just hope you land anywhere near those cursed individuals you call friends".
He then lets go of Selarion.
" I hope you die by the fall, as it will spare you the consequences".
He then kicks Selarion with a leg infused with energy, sending him flying far away.
He then turns and leaves without looking back.
As Selarion drifts off into the endlessness of space, a specific energy starts guiding him in a direction.
He looks to be dead.
He's not moving.
Nor is he breathing.
After 10 minutes, he wakes up.
. . . . . .
I open my eyes to see the vast regions of space.
I am also floating in the direction of a place I know all too well.
" I lost".
I start dusting my body.
' Why did you have to make all this dirt come in my body and clothes'.
But that's when the velocity in which I am traveling at increases.
' Okay, so what is happening right now?'.
I look where I am heading to.
' Barriers upon Barriers are there'.
' Should I go back?'.
I turn my head to the area of my planet where my brother threw me out.
' Nah'.
' There's nothing there anyway'.
But that is when I remember how she was injured and bleeding.
' How did brother injure her?'.
' That is not poasible'.
' Other than me, noone else can Injure them except...'
" Sigh".
' Brother won't harm them anymore'.
' It's likely he will just imprison them in a place they can't escape'.
' But I doubt the treatment they will get will be bad'.
I lock my body in place.
' But what is it is bad?'.
' Should I just go back?'.
I just stand on empty space here for a long time.
Before a suitable thought enters my mind.
' The amount of time passed is quite little, so I can go to that world and come back to mine later'.
I resolutely fly in the direction the energy is guiding me to.
