Teammate..?

Days passed by, Kuramoto was now better with his aim and taller than usual because of the body refining techniques.

With his hair as long as his waistline, he has to tie it up with a hairtie.

A blue shirt, with a white robe above the short covering his legs and knees too with little patterns of flowers on the edges.

With the robe matching his hair color, he soon became a fan favourite of the nearby area because of his looks.

He was also good with kids, Having fun with them together, making them laugh, was part of his daily life now.

On a random day, he has a mental breakdown, remembering everything, suddenly feeling down.

"Dude, why do you look so depressed today?" Asked Shinzo.

"Ah, it's nothing, I just feel a little homesick."

"Homesick? You aren't from here?"

"Nah, I'm from the overworld."

"There's even an overworld now? Come on, you're just dizzy, rest for some time, you're spouting nonsense."

"I'm not speaking nonsense, it's true.." he said, resting his forearms on the table and slowly laying his head down on the arms to looking to the right, at Shinzo.

"This is you're home too, isn't it?"

"Well, yeah it is, but my friends in the overworld might be wondering where I was." He replied, "I might already be considered dead there because it's been 3 months there." He added.

Shinzo looked at him with a warm smile, reassuring him, "Let's not be thinking about our past, and enjoy the present, perhaps you might be able to go back there someday?"

Kuramoto nodded his head, closing his eyes slowly and falling deep asleep.

"You slept here? Ah it's bad for you, let me transfer you to your bed." He snapped his fingers and Kuramoto teleported directly onto the bed.

He woke up, startled about it.

"This... This is the same magic that Higashi used on me.."

"Higashi? You know him?" Shinzo asked quietly, leaning on the door frame.

"Yes...? You know him too?" He answered.

"He is my grandfather who disappeared randomly out of nowhere."

Kuramoto looked puzzled, as both of them were of the same age, how could it be.

"Are we talking about the same Higashi here?"

"I don't know, what's his full name?" Asked Shinzo.

He replied "Higashi Katsuo."

"Yes, we're talking about the same person" answered Shinzo to his previous question.

"It seems like you know something about him, tell me."

Kuramoto now explained everything to him that happened to his point of view.

"I see, I guess you travelled to the future by some few 60 years."

"God, He is too terrifying, to think he can make people travel into the future, I don't think I can win anymore."

"Win what?"

"Oh, No, Nothing.."

Shinzo walked towards Kuramoto in a curious and determined look to find out what he was talking about.

"Tell. Me."

"Fine fine, you know everything anyways, what's there to hide."

"That's more like it!" Responded Shinzo.

"So apparently, He and I are brothers, he is the older one and I'm the younger one, and our father is the strongest god, but because of us two, he couldn't decide which one would succeed him and ascend the thro-"

"Wait wait, so you're telling me, you're a god?"

"Well, practically yeah, But just listen, As I was saying, He proposed a challenge onto us, that we have to live in here for 20 human years with only 3 of our abilities that we can bring onto this world, This is the second year, according to the human literature in the overworld, that's why I need to get stronger than him, and maybe kill him off as soon as possible."

"Woah, This is super complex, How do you even plan on beating him."

"That's the point, as long as I know, he doesn't have the abilities that I possess and cannot use the sys-" he stopped midway as he was almost about to say something that he should not mention.

"Sys what?"

"No Nevermind, you haven't seen my abilities yet right?"

"Yea, Show it to me."

"Okay, let's go outside." Both of them get up from the bed and walk outside.

"Let's start with my weakest abilities to the strongest."

"Okay."

He opens his eyes, in a fierce way, activating divine eyes.

"This allows me to look at anything anywhere."

"Cool."

He changed his eyes by blinking, now it was the demonic eyes.

"This allows me to immobilize the target, while scaring their soul by summoning eyes with red pupils around it."

"It also allows me to instantly teleport to any place that I visited in my life before."

With another blink, he changed it to the ghoul eyes.

"This eye gives me a superior hand against all ghouls, because of it being the eye of the first Ghoul ever, It increases my strength and some more basic stuff."

"Enough with the eyes, let's start with weapons now."

He uses system secretly to bring all the swords that cannot teleport to him.

"This is Kuroka, or midnight blade, it has the ability to trap anyone in the dimensional rift, I can control it on my own."

"These, are the cursed dual katanas, these are probably my strongest swords."

He summons some swords behind him with a golden texture through his internal energy.

"These are the Qi swords, I can control it as I like."

"These are all the weapons that I have."

Shinzo was too flabbergasted to even reply back to him.

"Are you okay?" Asked Kuramoto

"Ah yeah, Let's continue later someday. I feel sick."

"As you wish."
