Chapter 2 - 5,000,000,000 years (part 2)

(Year 200)

I can't believe it, I was quite surprised once I've reached 100 years here but to think that I've reached double that amount and I seem to have not age not even a single bit.

(Year 1,000)

It's been 1000 years since I've transported here, during the past 1000 years I have trained on martial arts. Although, I myself, don't have prior knowledge on martial arts, I've tried to imitate the moves I saw on my huge television back then.

(Year 10,000)

I am still keeping up with the records of my stay here, it's been 10,000 years. I have started to wonder what have gone wrong, my life was perfect back then. A smart student, handsome, rich, and always surrounded by women, just where did it go wrong for me to be sent here?

(Year 50,000)

I don't know why but I seem to be getting stronger each time I do my basic training and my imitation of martial arts.

"It's been 50,000 years, I've been waiting for this."

I then punch the cube again, my punch was terrifying, I can even feel the wind resonating with my punch but that did not even do a dent on the cube.

(Year 100,000)

I've been training every senses from my body, especially my imagination, my imagination has grown to a terrifying point that I can imagine an opponent to spar with.

(Year 1,000,000)

It's been a million years now, during the past years, I have imagined myself as my sparring opponent, it was tough, I have a hard time beating my own self but I eventually beat it.

"And now... Shall I test my strength again?"

I once again come to the walls of the cube and punched it. At first, I thought that it will be the same and will be left unharmed but I did it! I left a dent in it!

(Year 10,000,000)

I don't know how many years it's been since I keep focusing my attention on honing my body further beyond human limits, imitate different martial arts and spar with myself all day long so I can finally destroy this cube and get the hell out of here.

(Year 100,000,000)

Today is the day... The day that I've been waiting for, I've been longing for and it's the day that my freedom will prevail. I believe that I have trained myself to push the human limits and I believe that my martial arts is unparalleled.

"This... This is it! At last, I must destroy this cube, I must destroy it!"

I then stand against the wall and prepare my fist. My fist is gathering air from the surroundings and coated my fist with air as it launched towards the wall.

I did it! I finally did it! After many many years, I've finally made a hole into the cube but this is not enough, I need to punch it again.

As I've punched the cube the second time, it finally created a hole that fits my physique. I did not hesitate to peek out of the cube immediately and I'm greeted with something terrifying.

It... It was another empty cubical space. Then...! What the f**k was all that hard work for? I HAVE SPENT F***ING COUNTLESS YEARS FOR THIS?! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS S**T?!

I was angry, no, if I were to put it simply I was furious, I have spent endless years in this empty cubical space without humans to interact to, I have trained my body beyond the human is capable of in hopes of getting out of this hellhole but what I'm greeted at was another hellhole, this time a bigger one.

I proceed to run wild and vent out my anger on the cube but to no avail, my punches did not even do any damage at the 2nd empty cubical space, I was out of hope, my mind is blank, full of resentment and questions but whom do I resent? What questions are in my head? Why am I stuck here? Is this a non stop hellhole that I'm stuck at? Why me out of all the people on Earth?

Honestly... I don't know, I could not answer those questions, to be precise, I don't even know if I could answer those questions, I am lost... Really lost, perhaps I need help but there's no one who will reach out their hand to me and say "you've done enough." What a wishful thinking.

(Year 500,000,000)

I don't know what year is it now since I don't have a single ounce of care what time is it, what condition am I in right now or how strong am I right now? I only care about destroying this sh**tty cube and get the hell out of here.

So far I've only destroyed 10 cubes with each cubes becoming tougher and sturdier but I don't care, I trained my body like there's no tomorrow, sharpen my senses and improve my martial arts just so I can destroy each cubes that comes after the other.

(Year 1,000,000,000)

How long has it been? How are those bastards from Earth are doing right now? I could not care less since I have to also fight so I can at least see some mountains, trees or at least just let me feel the fresh oxygen emitted from the nature.

How many more cubes do I need to destroy to get to the end? So far I've only destroyed 48 cubes each different in sizes and durability.

(Year 2,500,000,000)

This is... The 11,567,432 cubical empty space that I have so far destroyed. I just want someone to answer my question on how long do I need to keep doing this? Forever? For eternity? I'm not sure but if I keep doing this, maybe I'll see the light at the end of this miserable hellhole.

(Year 4,000,000,000)

It's no use.... It's no use.... I have been destroying this cube endlessly now, I don't know when will this end. How many was it? 50,000,000 cubes? 100,000,000 cubes? Honestly, I don't know... I don't know how many cubes I've destroyed so far.

Is this the right thing to do? Have I lost my mind? What is my original purpose after going here? I don't know... I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW...! I only know that I must destroy cube by cube and keep moving forward.

(Year 5,000,000,000)

Precisely 989,672,145 cubes have I destroyed so far... Really... I really have lost it.

I then sat down facing the wall and closed my eyes reminiscing during those past countless years I've spent here.

"Haaaa... It was tough, no, it was hell to be precise."

As I sat there facing the wall, I could not help but smile with tears flowing in my eye.

"Really... I just wanted to quit this f***ing game."

Suddenly a burst of light then flashes before my eyes, similar to the one that I've experience back when I was transported here.

"Wha-"

Before I could finish, I was back... I was finally back after those gruesome years I've spent on that endless loop of cubes but why do I feel empty? I feel seriously nothing inside me.

A student then approaches the office and asking if someone is here.

"Hello, is President Cyrossa here? I am here to deliver the reports."

I was left shocked... This is the first time I've heard a human voice other than mine. It was overwhelming but I tried to act naturally.

"N-no, President Cyrossa has left for some reasons."

"Is that so? Then I'll come back tomorrow."

Cyrossa, huh? I don't know who is that guy but why do I feel familiar with that guy? I've also noticed that that guy's name is girlish.

"No matter..."

And with that, I jump off the window and sat on the grassy park all by myself.

"It seems that my strength back in that nightmarish cube still retains. I don't care about that, I just wanted to enjoy the scenery for now."
