At the limit

The crowd watched in shock as Kenchi and Viran stood on equal ground. The fight seemed never ending till, Viran's attacks stopped as blood started to pour out of his mouth.

Fuck, I'm at my limit, you win kid.

Viran collapsed

So you finally gave u-

Kenchi dropped to the ground and fell unconscious.

Kenchi awoke on the same endless landscape as before.

This place again?

So you pushed yourself too far this time.

Kenchi looked to his left and saw a blonde man with blue eyes like his.

You look just like me.

That's because I am you.

What!!? How is that even possible?

This place is the Astral Plain and the Dream World, when you die or fall asleep you end up here, also one other thing. You're dead.

Dead!!?

Sorry, I should have said that first.

What did I even die from?

You actually died because of the type of magic you have.

What do you mean by that?

Blood magic is still mostly undocumented in your world, the repercussions of using blood magic to a certain degree is that you shorten your lifespan and eventually die. You repeatedly pushed your magic and body beyond what it was capable of at the time, so it finally gave out on you.

So, all that work was for nothing?

When you blacked out you died for a minute, but I revived you. This time I'll have to put a limiter on your magic. Listen closely, You'll become an enemy to the (Ten Gods of the Holy Union) I don't know when they will come for you, so keep your guard up.

Kenchi was covered in a bright light and the beautiful scenery turned to a void. Kenchi awoke in a wagon.

Where am I, what happened to older me?

Wow, you actually woke up, and why are you spouting nonsense like a crazy person?

Suraki looked at Kenchi with a worried look.

Uh, It's nothing, wait where's Vellion?

You mean the guy sleeping beside you?

Kenchi looked to his left and saw Vellion with his mouth halfway open.

He's quiet, I didn't even hear him breathing.

I hope you don't mine me bringing a plus one.

Hi there, I hope it's not a bother that I tagged along.

The driver of the wagon was Viran.

Um, I don't think that's a good id-

Kenchi suddenly barfed blood and a shock ran through his body.

Are you okay?

The unbearable pain stopped abruptly.

Where did all the pain go?

A tab opened in front of him.
