Unlikely Hero

In the midst of chaos, Silence hung in the air like a heavy shroud as Haruto stood with a determined look on his face. Before him lay a terrified individual who had witnessed the gruesome aftermath of his wrath. Haruto's foot was stained with fresh blood, a reminder of the carnage that had taken place. Haruto had no intention of killing this person; he wanted to calm his fears.

As he drew nearer, the person caught a glimpse of Haruto's foot, stained with the crimson evidence of past violence, glistened in the dim light, horrific visage, and fell to the ground, sobbing in desperation. "Please don't kill me, please don't," they pleaded.

He knew that if he gave in to the impulse to end this person's life, he would be no different from a monster. Yet, he couldn't let those two individuals roam freely. A quick idea flashed through his mind. He raised his hand and began to reverse time, rewinding the entire situation. The lifeless body fused back with the living person, granting them a second chance at life and the horrific scene was undone. But Haruto didn't stop there. He continued to reverse time until he found himself outside the lab of the menacing scientist.

Haruto had a mission to accomplish, one that involved capturing the epic battle between a titan and Saitama. He knew that if he didn't intervened in the scene last time due to his anger, he would have already captured the battle. He knew if he let those two roam around a lot of people would die. As he rewound time, he quickly positioned himself in the heart of the city and started shouting to get people's attention.

"Hey, hey, everyone, run! There's a titan on the loose!"

But the people dismissed him, thinking it was a prank. Haruto realized these people would not understand unless he himself became a villain. He soared into the sky and unleashed a powerful attack on the ground, causing the earth to tremble and forcing people to take notice.

"Run, run, run!" he cried out, ensuring that this time, his warning was impossible to ignore.

Haruto continued to repeat his actions in locations where he anticipated the titan's path. In just 20 minutes, the city was evacuated. He erected protective shields in some strategic areas, providing refuge for those who couldn't escape in time.

And then, it began—the rumbling approach of the titan, its colossal feet obliterating everything in their wake. Haruto filmed the unfolding spectacle, knowing that Saitama would soon arrive to confront the monstrous threat.

The titan's voice echoed through the city, "I am the strongest, I am the strongest!"

"Yes, brother, destroy everything!" a chorus of voices echoed.

Yeah, how does it feel to be the strongest?", Saitama, perched on the titan's shoulder, chimed in.

"And put on some underwear," he added, a playful smirk on his face.

The scientist in his lab coat suddenly realized that there was someone on his shoulder,

"Brother there is someone on your shoulder, kill him."

Titan, unable to tell where Saitama was standing, he used his instincts and tapped one, only to find his brother's lifeless body in his hand.

"No, Brotherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Haruto, high above the battlefield, couldn't help but scoff at the irony of the situation.

The titan roared, "How did this happen? I just wanted to be the strongest, and I finally became one!"

Saitama, still grinning, was enjoying the show from his vantage point. Titan, in a fit of rage, blamed Saitama for his brother's death and hurled him to the ground with tremendous force before leaping upon him, consumed by anger.

"Behold the power of the strongest!" Titan boasted, punching the ground with earth-shattering strength, creating a massive crater.

*Huff* *Huff* Titan gasped for breath. "I am the strongest...so what? I feel empty."

Saitama, his calm voice contrasting with the chaos, spoke from the depths of the crater. "Do you feel it?

Saitama, leaped from the hole to the titan's height, delivering a single punch that annihilated the colossal foe. "Overwhelming strength... is boring."

"Oops," Titan mumbled as he fell onto the city of B, obliterating it in the process.

| B City: Destroyed |

Saitama, now in a state of shock, realized the scale of destruction he had inadvertently caused. "Oh no, what am I going to do? How can I possibly repay for all of this? I don't have that kind of money!"

Haruto consoled Saitama, assuring him that that he is here. Haruto had anticipated the destruction. So first he quickly teleported the titan's body to a location, near a black hole, to prevent any further damage. He then initiated a time reversal to rebuild the decimated cities. In just five minutes, the urban landscape was restored to its original condition.

Saitama, relieved and grateful, expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, you've saved the day."

Saitama's body fell on Haruto's arm like a feather.

Saitama's enthusiasm returned, and he suggested making a video to commemorate their heroic act. Haruto, always a step ahead, replied, "It's already done." He showed Saitama the footage he had captured during the entire event.

Saitama watched in awe. "I never knew I looked so cool. I think I need something warm to eat."

However, Saitama suddenly paused, a look of panic on his face. "Oh no, I almost forgot... my crabs!"

Saitama bought the crabs, but as he started fighting the titan, he dropped them somewhere.

Haruto reassured him, promising to buy him an even more delicious meal. Saitama, like a child, responded with heartfelt gratitude, embracing Haruto as if he were a lifesaver.

"Thank you, My Savior."

As the two friends returned from their food run, they passed by a television shop. The TV on display showed a news anchor on the display was discussing the hero who had saved the city from the titan.

"Is this another S-rank hero who will save the Earth from monsters?"

The person who recorded the video showed a distant figure using time reversal to repair the cities.

Haruto shouted in disbelief, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?"
