Rebellious Path

Somewhere in the depths of space:

"You…!" a man spoke as he coughed out blood. He had white hair and white eyes; he looked pale, probably the palest I've ever seen. He had black horns and wings, but blood dyed it red. His left wing was completely damaged to the point that it would probably be unusable. He was kneeling down on the ground, clutching his chest and gritting his teeth.

"Your time has passed, God of Time and Space… your existence, is a hindrance to my rule." A figure dressed in black said as it floated like an omnipotent being. Chaos was rumbling down the entire multiverse as this… creature attacked the man he called the God of Time and Space.

Planets, stars, moons, it collided as the figure raised its hand. A smile formed on its face as crazed laughter echoed all throughout the deep end of space. Even though this should be possible as no sound can travel through space, the power of this being is immaculate to break the rules of the multiverse.

Chaotic… its entire aura seemed it could destroy and annihilate anything in its path. Darkness emerged from its palm as he pointed it to the man. "Goodbye, God of Time and Space. It was your mistake that you ever crossed your path with mine. I shall take over the entirety of Gods… Chaos… shall rule…."

"I swear… I will destroy your very existence… you took everything from me, the lives of my loved ones, my status as a God, even my own life… I will destroy you… God of—" the figure didn't let him blabber anymore as he used the darkness in its palm to make his head explode. With a smile, the figure faded and vanished.

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

Earth:

"Urgh… my body aches…." A young man with bruises all over his body sat down on his bed as he woke up from his sleep. He had a below-average face, black hair that was long enough to form bangs, and a thin body full of scars. It just shows that he was the target of abuse.

His name is Ryu Akatsuki, a young boy who barely tasted any love. He was the target of bullying, not only by the people in his school but everywhere. Anywhere he goes, he would be treated like a beggar who deserved no life. He would be kicked if he got any closer, and various rumors spread about him.

He has never done anything wrong, yet fate decided to poke fun at him by making him live through a living hell. His eyes were burning with hatred, yet he could do nothing. After all, without power, you can't do anything.

He stood up from his bed and thought to himself, 'Why is this world so cruel to me… I'm hated even though I did nothing bad, my father abuses me every day for his own self-satisfaction, just why… Only my mother, sisters, and my best friend shows me respect and love. Everyone else just treat me like I'm livestock.'

"Fucking bastard!" A loud voice echoed as the door the Ryu's room was kicked open. Right in front of him was a man. His entire demeanor was not pleasurable, and he looked as if he'd been mentally insane for a couple of decades. 'This drunk bastard!' Ryu thought in his mind as the man approached and kicked him in the nuts.

"URGHHH!" Ryu groaned as he experienced the pain any man can relate to. Tears started to form in his eyes as he fell, clutching his hands between his legs.

"WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING WAKE UP WHEN I TELL YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" He kicked Ryu a couple of more times and stepped on his head. Ryu's father's face was filled with enjoyment as he tormented Ryu.

"How about you fucking kneel and beg for forgiveness, you dickhead? HUH!" He lunged his foot to Ryu's chest, causing him to cough out blood. Although he was experiencing great pain, he was thankful that this bastard didn't treat his sisters and mother this way.

Without any trace of anger in his voice, Ryu kowtowed in front of his father and said, "I'm sorry dad, I'm an insolent brat who never knows how to respect anyone, please forgive me."

Ryu's father laughed loudly as he proceeded to stomp on Ryu's head some more, "That's good! That's good! Now leave!" Ryu was knocked to the side with a kick. With that, his father decided to stomp on his face once more. After a while, his father left his room with a sadistic smile. Ryu couldn't help but cough up more blood as he stood up from the ground. He then proceeded to walk while limping towards the bathroom.

Tears started to well up in Ryu's eyes. He cried with anger in his heart, blaming the gods of the curse that had befallen before him. He rinsed his body with the water dripping from the shower. He couldn't help but punch the wall as he mindlessly spoke, "Why do I have to live this life? If there is a god out there, why did you make me, only to suffer?"

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

The moment Ryu went out of the bathroom, he noticed that his family was already eating. Although his stomach was rumbling, He just decided to skip the meal as he didn't have any appetite due to what happened earlier. 'Why do people like him exist!?' Riku thought to himself as he sneered his way towards his room.

Ryu is slightly afraid to see his father. After all, he is weak: he has no connections, body strength, and even willpower to be able to overpower this sadist. This world still has its past participles integrated into it. In this world, the strong suppress the weak. It's no different from the jungle, where if you have power, you rule all.

Once he reached his room, he laid his back on the door to close it and slowly slid down. He contemplated about everything. 'Do I really wanna stay like this forever? Shouldn't I fight back? But… I can't even do anything since I am nothing but speck of dust.'

Tears started forming around his eyes, but he slapped his face to wake up to this bitter reality. He took a look at the mirror once more and saw a new wound on his face. Although he wasn't that ugly, people call him a perverted pig after being framed once. He just gritted his teeth as he placed a bandage on his wound.

Ryu tried to rush out of the house to get everything over with, but his mother chased after him. "Ryu! Please wait for me!" After that, he looked back and saw his beautiful mother rushing towards him with a loving gaze.

She hugged Ryu and kissed him on the cheek, just showing how dearly she loved her son. Her luscious brown hair bounced as she patted Ryu on the head. As she looked at her son's face, her hazel eyes twitched as it was filled with worry. "Did your father do this?"

Ryu didn't even talk back; he just looked sideways and silently gritted his teeth. He forced himself to not show pain on his face; He was just silently crying inside. His father wasn't like this before. In fact, he was a very loving father trying to do his best to help his family prosper, but ever since that incident, he changed.

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

Ryu's father was a hard-working man who did everything to support his family. He worked hard to be promoted in his company, and after years, he finally achieved being the branch manager of the company's main branch. Though, that was the part where everything started to crumble.

He got power-hungry and wanted more money. After getting the taste of riches and high-ranking sluts, he became crazed. He even did many illegal things, and not for long he was invited to join the yakuza.

The money tempted him, and the temptation led him to succumb to the power of the yakuza. He did a lot of things that shouldn't be done. He started gambling in large casinos, cheating on his wife, laundering money from his company, human trafficking, and much more. It wasn't long before all the things started crashing down.

He was caught laundering money from the company, causing him to get sacked. After that, he tried gambling all of his money in hopes of recovering the money that was cut off from him after the yakuza deemed him of no use. Though he lost the gamble and couldn't help but go insane after all his money was lost.

Without any more money, he did the thing that led him further to insanity, stealing money from the yakuza. With that, the whole entire yakuza started hunting him down after stealing millions of yen from them. He managed to escape, but he became mentally insane.

That's when he started to abuse his own son. Beating him up to satiate his hunger for power. He forcefully sleeps with his wife even though his wife refuses, and he even tries raping his daughters, which was avoided by Ryu blocking him, causing him to get even more beaten up.

(A/N: Don't gamble motherfuckers)

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

Ryu's mom hugged him tightly as an adorable figure came rushing up to Ryu and hugged him tightly as well. It was his little sister, Hina. She had a cute and petite body, medium-length black hair, and crystal-like purple eyes. She was crying on her brother's chest, feeling pain from what they'd gone through. "Big Brother… *sniff*."

Ryu's father didn't spare the girls from the beatings. Ever since they avoided getting raped, they got beat up like Ryu. 'Why do you also have to go through this, Hina… Aoi-nee-san.' Ryu thought to himself as he hugged Hina tightly. Ryu's mother just gritted her teeth as she looked at the room that her husband slept in.

Ryu patted Hina's head as he whispered in her ear, "It's gonna be alright, Hina. I'll protect you no matter what." He then looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, where's Big Sis?"

His mother had a dejected look as her elder daughter was mentioned. She looked down to the ground with rage in her eyes as she clenched her hands into fists. "She couldn't handle it anymore… she left while she was injured… No matter how hard I tried to persuade her, she didn't listen. She just said that she'll find a way to get rid of that bastard."

Ryu pecked his mom's and Hina's cheeks as he hugged them and said, "Don't worry, I'll find her. I don't want you to be worried about anything." Ryu walked out of the house with a bitter smile and walked towards his school wearing a mask. He had to find a way to hide the injuries on his face, somehow.

As he walked out of the house, he heard a loud shout, "Reika! Come here you little fucking bitch! Satisfy me!" Reika, who was inside the house, could only stare with anger at the door of her bastard husband.

At this point, people might say, "Report that bastard to the police!" Well, Ryu has undoubtedly tried to, but they only laughed. His status as a yakuza was scary enough to scare the police. That bastard managed to fool the police that his status was still of a yakuza despite him being hunted by them.

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

As he walked through the gate of his school, people's gazes were pointed at him. It was good if it was just a typical gaze, but their eyes showed disgust despite Ryu being completely innocent.

He walked to the sidelines without saying anything, afraid of getting picked on by the other students. Just as he was walking, someone grabbed him by his arm, causing him to tremble. But after he saw who it was, his body was filled with warmth.

The one who grabbed him was a beautiful young lady with ice-blue eyes and gorgeous silver hair. Her name was Yuki, and she was the most beautiful girl on campus. Despite her being so beautiful, she hanged out with Ryu since kindergarten. It's a very long time considering the fact that they are already seventeen years old.

She pulled down Ryu's mask and asked with a worried face, "Did, your father did this again?" Ryu could only nod his head as he pulled his mask back up. She was a very caring friend, and she never left Ryu's side despite losing a lot of friends because of it.

As they arrived at their classroom, some bullies decided to walk up to Ryu's desk and slapped him on the head. They were the most extreme of simps that ever existed on this planet, worshipping Yuki the first time she appeared here. Some of them even intendedly fail their classes so they could be classmates with her.

One of them slapped me on the face once more and said, "Hey ugly bitch, why are you standing so close to Yuki-sama? She must be disgusted by you!" Ryu's eyes were burning with rage. 'I've held back for so long… I wanna give them a taste of what they do to me…! B-but can I do it…?' He thought to himself as he prepared to launch a fist.

Despite everything, Ryu was pretty strong; he was just a filthy coward. He never tried to stand up for himself despite everything that happened. At that same time, Yuki's eyes darkened. She held the bully's hand and slapped him on the face. The bully just made a face filled with delight, the pleasure of getting pummeled by his beloved Yuki-sama.

"You have no right to call my dear friend an ugly bitch! You have no right to call him disgusting! Take a look at yourselves in the mirror! Just because you were blessed with that appearance doesn't make you an all-so powerful god!" Yuki shouted loudly, causing everyone to be silent.

Ryu's heart fluttered as he saw Yuki defending him. He released his fist and thanked Yuki, "Thank you, Yuki; thank you for defending me." I sat down on my seat, and the class started.

Time passed by quickly, and it was already time to go home. Ryu said goodbye to Yuki and rushed towards the gate, but she stopped him for a moment, "Ryu, come to my house tomorrow, okay?"

He tried to avoid everyone so he could at least not be beaten up for today and rushed towards the gate. Though, his wish was invalidated by faith. It was genuinely ruthless to him. The guys who bullied him earlier and threw him to the side.

"Fucking pig! Why does Yuki-sama hang out with a perverted piece of shit like you! WHY? You are ugly and a disgusting person! You should just DIE!", the bullies started kicking him and stomping on him. He tried to run away, but he was pulled back.

This coward didn't fight back, or to be more precise, he couldn't fight back. He didn't have enough willpower to do so. Ryu was breathing raggedly and looked at the guy angrily. 'He's smirking… this bastard is smirking seeing my state.' This burnt Ryu's last fuse. He finally decided to fight back! He stood up and kicked the bullies in the nuts. He ran as fast as possible to grab a stone and threw it at them, causing them to bleed out.

"YOU!", They tried to chase Ryu, but unfortunately, they were not fast enough. Ryu didn't escape unharmed, though; he had a dislocated arm, but fortunately, with a slight forceful push, he managed to get it back to its original state with a yell.

At that moment, Ryu heard a voice, "I thought you were gonna help me get rid of him! He was your target!" It was his elder sister's voice. Ryu rushed to see what was going on and saw two older men cornering her in the alleyway, "Oh, we will, but only after we get a taste of your tight little pussy! Don't worry, we won't break you."

Ryu felt rage in his heart. First his father, now this… He even overheard the conversation. 'Are they from the yakuza as well?' Ryu thought to himself as he picked up a metal pipe that was lying on the ground. He was not about to chicken out with his family involved. Nothing is more important than family, after all.

(A/N: Dom would be proud)

Adrenaline rushed in his body as he rushed towards them. Before they could even notice, Ryu had already swung the metal pipe. Unfortunately, they were strong and were able to block the attack, "Who the fuck are you, you fucking bitch."

"Ooh! I always wanted to try the taste of a little boy's ass", one of them said as they approached Ryu. Ryu tried his best to avoid them, but he had no experience in fighting. Fortunately, Aoi, Ryu's sister, was there and knocked them down with a kick. "YOU FUCKING PERVERT!"

Thanks to Aoi's help, Ryu slammed the metal pipe to their heads, causing blood to gush out. Ryu was shocked and couldn't move. He just sat down on the ground and contemplated. 'Did I… just kill someone?' Ryu thought as he trembled. Aoi rushed to him and hugged him tightly, "Are you alright!"

Ryu couldn't talk and just gaze at his sister's face. In just a moment, he fainted. It seems as if his body couldn't handle all the stress he has been in for the whole day. Aoi grabbed him by the arm and tried her best to walk him home.

As they arrived home, Ryu woke up and saw his mother's and sisters' worried faces as they treated his injuries in the living room. Just then, Ryu heard his father rummaging through his stuff as he shouted and distress. "Fuck… Fuck! How did they found out I was here? I already silenced all the people who knew and gave them money! Fuck! Fuck…!"

As he reached the living room, he looked at his daughter and laughed like a maniac, "Now I know… HAHAHAHAHA, it was you! I'm gonna fucking KILL YOU, YOU BITCH!" Their father grabbed a knife and rushed at Aoi. Aoi screamed as their father approached. 'Am I gonna die here? By my own father?', she thought.

Despite being the most injured, Ryu stood up and rushed towards his father, and punched him in the guts, grabbing his knife along the way and pointed it at him. "No, you are not!" The father fell down on the ground and groaned in pain as he looked at his son. "Fuck!"

Ryu didn't hesitate any more and tried to stab his father, but he was fast. Ryu's father dodged his attacks, but didn't counter. He rushed to grab a few of his stuff and immediately escaped. "Shit! I could've had him!" Ryu exclaimed as he tried to chase him but his exhausted bidy just didn't hold up.

"Why was he rushing out?" Reika looked at Aoi with worry. She was sure that Aoi must've been involved.

"I told the yakuza his whereabouts." Aoi said as she sat down on the chair, causing her brown hair to bounce. Her hazel eyes were filled with stress. She looked really similar to Reika; In fact, if Aoi was a bit older, they would look like twins.

"Are you crazy! Why did you get involved with those people? Is this why you brother is so injured?" Reika shouted. She was really worried about them. She didn't want them to suffer anymore, but she could do nothing. She was not strong, and all she could do was take care of them and help them go through a path where they could avoid what happened to this family.

At this moment, someone knocked loudly on the door. Without anyone being able to get close to it, the door was forcefully opened by the yakuza people. "Where is Hiroto Akatsuki?" The man wearing full black asked as he looked towards us.

"H-he left the house a few minutes ago," Reika answered nervously; after all, they're talking to the yakuza. "Tch, that bastard still has connections to be able to find out about us rushing here. Boys! Search the area! Don't let him escape again!"

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

The man sat down beside the four and waited for his goons to arrive. Ryu, Reika, Aoi, and Hina were all nervous to see the man. An hour later, one of his goons arrived and gave a report, "Sir, we searched the whole area, and he could not be found. He is swift and he somehow covered up all his tracks."

"That bastard is still as sly as before…." the man looked at the four and gave an exasperated sigh. Then his face lit up and broke into a smile. He seemed to have remembered something. "That's it! I could use this!"

He looked at his goon and seemed to signal him to do something. The goon just nodded and grabbed Aoi. "Well then, we shall take our leave. Since we couldn't catch that bastard, we will have to use that bastard's daughter! Since you are the one who said that he was here, you're gonna have to pay the consequences!"

Aoi shrieked as the goons forcefully dragged her. Ryu couldn't stand it anymore as he body-slammed the goon. "You are not gonna touch my sister!" The goon groaned as he grabbed Ryu's neck and shouted, "You piece of shit! I'm gonna murder you!"

"Wait! The man wearing black said as he looked at Ryu's face. Ryu's eyes were filled with anger and determination to kill the person in front of him. He tried to fight back with everything he could, but he was powerless. The man wearing black was delighted with Ryu's expression and licked his lips. "This is the toy that I wanted!" he silently said.

"Bring him instead, I'm gonna have some fun for tonight!" Ryu was dragged by the goon. The three, Reika, Aoi, and Hina, tried to stop them, but they couldn't do anything. They were blocked by the other goons. The three of them shouted, "Ryu!!"

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

On the same night in some kind of dungeon, Ryu was tied up. His eyes were broken, and his body was filled with wounds. All of his fingers, arms, and legs were broken, and his body was bent in the most inhumane way. And what's worse is, he was still alive.

"That was the most fun I've ever had in years! I'm gonna see you again tomorrow, Ryu! HAHAHA!" The man wearing black laughed as he wiped his bloodied hand and opened the door.

"W...why are you doing this to me?" Ryu couldn't help but ask. The man simply laughed and turned around to face Ryu; his smile became sinister as he said, "The best way to break a person to obey you, is torture! Well, the obeying part is a bonus. Your father said that he loved his darling son so much that he wouldn't be able to stand it if he was hurt!"

"Bulllshit, that fucking bastard never cared for me and my family!" Ryu shouted. Although his whole body was in pain, there was simply nothing he could do. The man laughed maniacally as he spoke, "Is that so? Then I guess it wouldn't matter if I break you into pieces! HAHAHA!"

Days, Weeks, Months have gone by, and every day, Ryu was tortured by this man. Fate truly treated him as a toy. Despite him doing nothing, he had to endure so much pain, but there's nothing that he would get. He was fed manure and rotten foods. Even though it was disgusting, he had to eat it to survive.

He tried committing suicide, but he failed. He just wanted all of this to end. He just wanted to die in peace, but it seems as if the gods have something against him.

A giant meteor suddenly shone brightly as it fell down from the sky. Though, Ryu wasn't able to notice it after his eyes were blinded by that ruthless torturer. The atmosphere of the earth changed, and people couldn't react to what was going on anymore.

At this moment, Ryu felt a sense of wistfulness as he remembered that he still couldn't do anything to save his family. "Why do I feel that this is the end… Am I truly gonna die? But… I still haven't been able to help my family… I still haven't—"

The meteor reached earth, and destruction was prominent. Though, a new figure was born along with it.

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

Just then, the winds suddenly got harsher, the stars contorted. Asteroids, planets, galaxies, they all collapsed. With no one in control, the whole multiverse will end. Two figures, both red and blue, intertwined. They tried their best to keep the balance of the multiverse in order. But their power was nothing compared to the real god.

They were mere keepers of time and space, not the rulers.

"Sister, this feeling! The multiverse is about to collapse!" The blue figure shouted as she held the timelines and the continuation of time together. The red figure gritted her teeth as she willed herself to keep the universes from wreaking havoc. The red figure then said, "I can't handle it anymore!"

"URGH!" they both tried their hardest, but it was to no avail. The forces of the multiverse were too much to handle for mere Demi-Gods. The universes collapsed, and the worlds self-destructed. Meteors flew everywhere like it was the apocalypse, coming to end the multiverse.

The sisters wept as they saw everything fall apart.

"All of his hard work! All the people that he loved!" the blue figure cried out as the red figure hugged her. They hugged each other as they felt loneliness and sadness seep out of their eyes. "I guess this is truly the end…."

But then, suddenly, the multiverse shone brightly, and the stars realigned. The multiverse, which was falling apart, pulled itself back together as time flowed. The distorting space became clear, and everything came back to what it was.

The sisters were shocked. They didn't know what to feel about everything. It was all falling apart just a second ago, but now… it came to how it usually was. Suddenly, their faces were bridled with joy as they hugged each other tightly and celebrated. The blue figure then spoke, "Sister, does this mean—"

"YES!" the red figure shouted loudly as they both chanted the same thing.

"He's back!"
