10 Chapter 10

Hiro was sure he had been sleeping in what should have been called a king's palace. It was so big that it was kinda hard to miss and would leave a lasting impression on anybody who saw it. It had top models of many if not all forms entertainments including TVs , gaming set ups, pools, Jacuzzis, a personal bar and what seemed a complete set of every anime, movies and tv series ever released.

<Screen Freeze>

Hiro had taken his sweet time to see around the lavish surroundings. But when he saw the rather monstrous set of harmless anime, even he was taken aback. He himself had been called a huge Otaku because he spent all of his idle time watching anime. But this Origin Hiro's "Otakuness" dwarfed him with such extent that it was almost like he was a child in front of Him.

"Well who could have thought one of the most powerful entities who had ultimate power would turn out to be such an Otaku. No wonder that perverted old Geezer had created turned out to be anime worlds." If Hiro had heard right, long before the Infinite sets of Multiverse, which Vi had jokingly named Neoverse, were created, Hiro and zero simply existed as a concept. They had been receiving glimpses of the world even before it's creation. This had led them to wait for the right point and creation of the Neoverse.

"That perverted old geezer must have had his future anime waifus in his mind while he created these worlds. It might just not be an exaggeration to call him the king of Otakus. No wonder he had wanted to kill my ass if any got injured!"

Hiro had not realised that during his his internal realisations, he had magically come across what looked like the bed chamber while nobody had told him anything about it. He had decided to call it a day as his training would start from tomorrow.

Hiro could not keep himself from falling asleep any longer as he fell on a incredible soft bed.

Hiro's mind was engulfed by a momentary darkness as he felt as if he was falling from a great height while simultaneously spinning around at great speeds. The strange phenomena was extremely disconcerting and nearly made Hiro empty his stomach's content after he had that hearty meal. Though before anything further could happen, the darkness receded as quickly as it came making Hiro forget he was inside pitch black moments ago.

The surroundings were immediately met with light as Hiro had to shield his eyes. Hiro found himself in a strange white room, that was entirely unblemished and seemed to glow even in the abundant light. Hiro was certain he was in the palace moments ago as there were only a few places one could go after dying.

But all the curiosity which Hiro had felt had to pushed to the back of his mind as he ducked while seeing a elegant blue arc seemingly cut into the very air by a resplendent Jet black blade.

<Present>

Seeing Hiro take a defensive stance as the boy dodged the attacks not consciously but entirely out of instinct, Vi knew he had to train Hiro properly in future. Back while Vi first met Hiro, he had warned him of the dangers of seizure pain and wants for destruction. It was Origin's energy that had made both good and evil to further strengthen the balances of various worlds. Thus though he was never able to forget anything, he had 'forgotten' to remind the rather too young boy about the deeper effects. This thing also had been a test yet again to determine the strength and adaptability of Hiro's soul.

"You have done well dodging my blade but you did that completely out of survival instincts carved into you through all your previous incarnations. It's not your own capabilities that allowed you to pull off the feat! Sometimes a person needs more than brute strength and perseverance. He needs to have a developed understanding process, well developed decision making and strategy forming skills. "

Though Hiro had waned to refute by saying that he was the person that had dodged the attack, and not some other person, he surprisingly found himself unable to do so. He was aware that though Vi acted somewhat uninhibitedly, he was still an existence that was increasingly older and wiser than himself.

Vi seeing that he now held the rapt attention of Hiro, went forward with his speech, "I don't think you understand the meaning of falling in the seize, it's not a pleasant experience trust me. You are the conclusive existence that is the culmination of everything present. these seizes, which I personally like to call Soul Seize, is very dangerous. There is a real chance that something could happen to you during you go through this. You could very well become corrupt, Innate evil nd even a mad man that likes to cause pain to others just for pleasure all at the same time. That's why I am asking you to take your training seriously. Now come lets start your training for real."

<Screen Freeze>

Hiro had been listening to Vi attentively but after hearing he had to train even in this place(which he assumed was his mind), Hiro could not help but lament that he had to work hard even if he was dead.

<Present>

Seeing Hiro lament, Vi got amused and decided to tease the lost boy. "Though we can't do this often, training here will give you more time to think and perfect your powers. You could c=also come here to meditate once you manage to access this place. But be sure not to go overboard as this could cause your brain to burst like a watermelon."

Hiro grimaced as he heard about the outcome but push the thoughts into the back of his mind. What truly terrified him was the prospect of becoming the very thing that he was supposed to protect the world from. When he considered that he could potentially create unlimited number of miserable orphans like him , he felt like he was about to pass out. But this only made him more resolute to not let it happen. Steeling his mind against all his inhibitions, Hiro moved forward to the center to the room giving his enough space to work with.

Vi nodded at Hiro's choice of placement as he himself walked to the other side looking straight into Hiro's eyes seeing the resolute look in his eyes. Hiro himself started looking around to gain more information about the entire situation. He had known that knowing more and more about the surroundings could help a person a great deal. This was yet another information he had obtained from anime watching sessions. Any person who says anime is worthless should get their eyes checked. He had intended to use all the edge he could get just like Infi had said. Though he found Vi's sloppy posture to be strange, his eyes got fixed on Vi's sword. At first glance , all Hiro could see was an ordinary rusted katana. It looked very old and shabby but being covered in the elegant jet black and blue aura, it seemed to be able to slice entire mountains in a single slash.
