This city revolves around two big factors - genes and spirit. One should have the genes to cultivate spirit energy inside them so that they can obtain a strong spirit. Higher the grade of the spirit the better. Luther lives a subdued life with his goal to keep playing VR games and maintain his number one position. He is a 16-year-old boy who stopped going to school and spending all of his time at home. But, whether he wants it or not his easy-going life will fall apart. He will have to become a part of something much bigger even if it's a pain in the** and maybe finally learn what it means to live. This is the story of how Luther, a shut-in along with Squad Zero become the unsung heroes of Genesis City who face all kinds of danger to keep their city safe but never get the credit for it. No one knows about their deeds as they have to suffer humiliation from others for being the most wasteful squadron in the city. This is the story of a city that has fragmented over the decades where strife and tension run rampant all around. Everyone is just waiting for the right moment to strike. When that moment comes, it would be complete mayhem and infinite chaos. -----------------------------------------------

@King_Sabre

12 masked people sat in front of a large oval-shaped table with every mask having a logo of an eastern dragon but different colours, their backs straight against the chair. All of them wore red cloaks covering them from neck to toe. The thoughts running through their mind were hard to fathom but occasionally they would look at the door as if waiting for someone to enter. This was the case as soon someone walked towards the door their feet making the usual, 'Kat, kat, kat sound' of a shoe striking the ground. 

The door opened to reveal another masked person, the mask having a design of an eastern dragon gold in colour with the addition of a crown signifying their power. Along with the mask, he also donned a golden cloak. There was a clear difference between him and the others in the room. As he entered, the 12 people in the room stood up to express their respect. The newcomer gestured for them to sit but remained standing even after all of them were seated. 

"My brethren and sisters, I hope all of you have been well." Everyone in the room nodded.

 "Good. It's been 2 decades since we started our mission of destroying our city, Genesis. All of us, lived separately rarely meeting each other but I know the people I consider as kin are strong-minded and resilient. Although there must have been moments when you needed to make tough decisions that brought a lot of pain, you were strong enough to overcome it. After all these years of sacrifice, we have gained enough influence and gathered forces to finally enact the end plan." 

A few people in the room sucked in their breaths in slight surprise. So, the time had come. They immediately digested the implications of the statement. 

The golden robbed person chuckled, " Yes, let it sink in that very soon all of you have to do the unthinkable and become the unlikable. Blue, you will be the first of us and truly initiate the plan." 

Blue stood up and bowed to the golden robbed boss, "I have been waiting years for this moment to arrive. I won't disappoint you for the trust you have put in me." The boss and others approved of such a reply. They made a mental note of outperforming the standards set by Blue. 

"The details will be passed down to you, follow the instructions step by step and I don't want any slip-ups." 

"Yes." 

"This much should be enough for now. Remember, we most probably wouldn't have a meeting such as this unless something very drastic happens. We are putting ourselves and the plan at a lot of risk by conducting such a meeting. But, I know it's important to tell all of you in the first person about this. Only then can all of us shake off our misgivings and doubt?"

 He paused for some seconds letting his words sink into their minds. 

"I am willing to answer a few questions if any of you have. I don't want any of you to be unclear about the plan."

 A masked person with red coloured eastern dragon spoke up, "When will my chance come?" 

"You haven't changed even after all these years. Always impatient. But I won't be keeping you waiting for long. The plan will be acted swiftly before our enemy can come up with a counterattack the damage would already be done and there would be no salvaging or saving." 

A sweet and melodious voice pondered, "Hmm, what comes after the plan?"

"Pink, let me tell you, once the plan is complete, we will create a city we always envisioned and become the leaders everyone looks up to with reverence."

We will become their saviour that saved them from the cruel world. We will live the life we have always dreamed of. "

--------------------------------------------------------

On one side stood a battered and bruised Sabreman supporting himself with his two sabres while 4 sabres surrounded him and pointed at the enemy. The Sabreman was bleeding from all the wounds sustained by his body, but still, he refused to stop his attacks. On the other side, stood someone who was the incarnation of the evil god. He represented everything evil and corrupt. That was the accurate description of the strongest villain, the Demon Lord. He also has sustained some wounds but he was in a better condition than the Sabreman. 

"You can not kill me. Not now nor later because no one has great powers such as I, The Demon Lord."

"Demons like to boast a lot about themselves. Demon Lord, witness your great confidence break and pay the price of overconfidence with your life."

The demon lord laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke of his life, "What a bunch of nonsense. I am going to separate your body into so many small pieces, that you will be completely unrecognizable. "

@King_Sabre immediately appeared in front of the demon king engaging it with his six sabres. His moves were elegant, sublime, beautiful and footwork like a dance as he crumpled the demon king's defences. The demon king countered such attacks using his fists and corrupt magic pushing the @King_Sabre a step back after each clash. 

The demon king gathers his strength and releases a deadly lighting attack 'Lightning Storm' and dark corrosive powers of suppression at the @King_Sabre. The dark power stopped his movement as the lightning concentrated on his heart intending to blast it to smithereens. @King Sabre simply used the black sabre to cut the dark powers and his purple sabre to cut through the lightning. 

"I enjoyed this battle, demon king. I must admit you are strong but I can't tolerate your existence any longer. I am going to kill you and you will stop existing."

Before the demon king could reply, @King_Sabre launched an onslaught of attack at speeds even it couldn't follow. This had never happened to him before and made him panic. It released all of its overpowered skills at him together wanting to crush him with the might and magnitude of the attacks. It was its first time using all of its powerful attacks together and was confident of killing him. But, he simply struck the attacks with his sabre disappearing it.

Fire attacks were countered by red sabre, lightning by purple and so on. None of the demon kings' attacks were able to kill him. 

Terror set in the demon king as he realized what was about to happen. He increased the intensity of the attacks but it was too late, his situation did not change, @King_Sabre waved his saber nulling the attacks. 

A crazed expression appeared on the demon king as he sacrificed his life in exchange for an extremely powerful skill. 

"Haha, you must have thought you could kill me unscratched but if I am going to die then I will be taking you with me." 

@King_Saber released the sabre in his right hand and picked up a flawless metal-coloured sabre with extreme sharpness. He appeared in front of the demon king and pierced the metal sword through his heart not stopping there as he pierced all his 6 sabres through the heart. 

The demon king struggled for some time, his expression filled with bitter resentment and disbelief before dying. @King_Sabre immediately picked up on something and made a mad dash for the exit. If he was inside the dungeon when the explosion offset he would be gravely injured. 

Luckily moments after he left the dungeon, the explosion was offset destroying the dungeon completely. But when he turned around he was welcome with a grand and majestic sight. 

As far as he could see fighters were gathered in the nearby mountains, sky, and water bodies. All of these fighters were armed to the teeth with weapons pointed at him. They were here intending to kill him. But,@King_Saber was unfazed by the sight nor intimidated by it. He accepted his situation as if it was normal for him. 

One of the fighters came a little closer to him but still maintained a considerable distance. 

"@King_Saber, I applaud you for your great feat of defeating the final boss of the game, the demon king." 

"Of course, it was my pleasure killing the demon king. Surprisingly, he was able to provide me with some entertainment. I am thankful to him for that."

Lycan felt his mind go numb from @King_Sabers's remark but quickly stabilized himself. 

"But with the strongest villain dead, do you know is the next biggest villain?" 

King_Saber replied nonchalantly," Me." 

Lycan was surprised by the response but didn't show it, "You are right, it is you. So, me and 10,000 of the strongest fighters have gathered here to put an end to your story. We can't let someone as powerful as you live. It's too dangerous for the world." 

"So, all of you have come here intending to kill me?" 

"Yes. " 

"Then I wouldn't have any qualms about killing my fellow fighters." 

Lycan was alarmed and ordered everyone to immediately attack @King_Sabre. This guy was extremely powerful and unpredictable. Anything was possible if it was him. It was a magnificent sight to see 10,000 fighters release their attacks together but then something even more magical occurred. 

King_Saber arranged his 6 sabres in a straight line and then fused them to form a single sabre. The power contained in the combined weapon was terrifying and he released this power at the 10,000 fighters. 

There was a massive explosion, the likes of which had never before been seen. Compared to such an explosion the previous demon king sacrifice explosion was nothing. Once the dust settled, the landscape of mountains, water and sky had changed into barren land with a sword cleaving from right to left. It appeared like someone had cut the area apart with a sabre, which was what happened. 

All the 10,000 fighters had died in the massive explosion and @King_Sword still managed to stay alive. He smirked at the result of the attack. It was his first time combining the sabres and attacking with it. He was satisfied with the result. After looking again at the destruction, @King_Saber disappeared.
