Same boy, different sanity.

Ender's eyes slowly opened while trying to get used to the light coming from the door. He yawned while cleaning his eyes and looking around the place, 'Nothing out of the usual.' He stretched his arms and got up.

[3:13 PM]

'Sheesh, I sure slept for a while... My schedule's going to get fucked...' Ender thought while looking at the digital clock. He went towards the bathroom to take a quick shower, as all the sweat has turned his body into a dumpster.

When he took off his shirt, he noticed a big scar going from his right kidney to his belly button. Of course, he also noticed how his muscles were getting more noticeable. He touched his scar and wondered what could have made it.

'It's exactly like Ren's... but he has a lot more than this.'

After some seconds he forgot about it and started showering, which took around ten minutes. After finishing he quickly dried up using a specialized machine and wore some comfy trousers and a hoodie.

'Now that's why I felt kind of different... Yet my HP hasn't increased... nor my Energy.'

Since Ender fought Derreck and won, his body felt a sudden rush of energy that he labeled as simple adrenaline. But now that he has properly seen his stats he concluded that he was starting to get ripped... somewhat.

'I still need to complete today's tasks as well.'

Just as he wanted to check the tasks, he heard the unlocking sound of the entrance door. He turned around quickly and saw Stella entering and throwing aside her coat while saying, "What's all of this about?"

"What's what about?" Ender quickly replied. Suddenly Stella's eyes glowed blue and Ender felt a massive pressure on his shoulders that almost dropped him to the ground, but he was able to remain standing while clutching his fists.

"Don't fucking play dumb with me Ender! How did you even manage to lay a single finger on Derreck's body!" She said in rage before changing her expression to that of confusion, 'How is he even able to keep standing? I tripled his gravity...'

"Dunno... maybe I was having a lucky day. What's with the anger, your boyfriend or something?" Ender said in a mocking tone.

"There's no such thing as lucky days here! And he is not my fucking boyfriend!!" Stella shouted after doubling the gravity on Ender's body.

Her nose leaked a little blood while Ender crashed to the floor.

After feeling the massive exhaustion and headache she had, Stella stopped her ability and said, "I don't even know how my mother can let you stay here... maybe I will have a quick chat with her..."

Ender spat on the ground before cleaning his mouth. When he heard Stella's plan he couldn't help but frown his head.

If he was out of this house he may be extremely fucked. Well not may, he will be extremely fucked.

"I won't have anywhere to go..." He mumbled

"Like anyone is going to miss you, fucking trash." She then kicked Ender on his cheek and went towards her room after taking her bag again.

Ender just stood on the ground on the verge of crying once again. It was the same shit every time they got into a discussion but he couldn't get used to it.

He sighed before going back to his room. He closed the door and lay in his closet with half his body out.

["Sheesh, didn't know it was that bad at home"] Ren appeared out of nowhere.

"Shut the fuck up please..."

["Have anywhere to go in case they kick you?"]

"... I'd say they legally can't but who the fuck cares about me. The moment they see my Element grade they're going to laugh their ass off..." Ender said while closing his eyes.

["Your grade improved after obtaining my manipulation."]

"It did but who cares... I might as well finish the tasks already..."

4 hours later...

Ender was eating inside a restaurant. He had already finished his tasks for today and wanted to just relax around the city. He decided to start storing Points in case any new stat decided to appear.

Now, with what money is Ender paying? Seems like after beating Derreck, most of the money got transferred from his bracelet to his.

When he asked about it, Ren said that the grey star glowed when they got into contact for one-tenth of a second. It was enough to transfer 2,893 Earthies.

Earthies were the main economy of the entire globe and galaxy. Since the spread of the Humanyc race started on Earth, they decided to name it after it.

This money would last him for at least 1 month if spent only on food, as it was extremely cheap.

'Good thing I don't give a shit about the economy, hard to understand...' He said while finishing his burger. He cleaned his mouth, paid, and left. Just as he did, he checked his pockets and bracelet hurriedly and then sighed.

He found a cute toy for Casper on the way toward his usual training place the abandoned warehouse.

He took it out for a second to appreciate that he was finally able to buy something, and was so happy that he forgot to take it back after finishing the tasks.

He quickly started running towards the place not caring about the looks he was being given. Currently, his speed was equal to his age's average, maybe even a little faster. In less than 5 minutes he arrived at the warehouse.

'My body improved a lot, I don't even feel exhausted...'

It had a lot of excavators and a 3 meters tall fence, after all, it was being demolished. He effortlessly jumped over the fence and was greeted by even more construction materials.

Half of the roof was removed and there were beams dangling from the top, threatening to fall at any moment. Ender started searching around the place trying to find the toy, but it felt like a maze.

At one point, he just jumped on an excavator and quickly spot the red mouse toy. He walked towards it and stored it inside the bracelet.

Suddenly, a weak and transparent black trail appeared to his side, and the moment he noticed, he was sent flying to the side.

[-12 HP; 18/30 HP]

"Ugh!!" Ender grunted as he clutched his right kidney. He noticed something poking out, and looked down. There he saw a laser knife sticking out. He quickly activated Healing while taking it out. Healing made effect fairly quickly and closed the wound while slowly healing the HP.

He looked to the side and saw Derreck.

'Not again...' He thought while lowering his chin. He tried stepping backward but the sharp pain in his kidney stopped him from doing so. The black-haired boy quickly dashed towards Ender and punching him in his guts and kicked his face as well.

[-6 HP; 12/30]

"Did you think you could escape after pulling that off?" He said slowly, with his rage-filled, wide eyes staring right at his soul, "I can't get the pain out of my head still... I can still feel that shit..." Derreck said while scratching his face.

He began scratching it so hard that he was starting to pierce his skin with his nails, making it bleed, but he seemed like he didn't mind at all about it.

["Hmmm? Did he lose his mind already? Pfft, what a glass cannon."] Ren said while mocking Derreck.

Ender didn't care about what he said, as he was in a tough spot. He tried standing up and was almost done when another kick went toward his right side.

'Fuck! Dash!!'

[Dash activated.]

Suddenly everything started moving slower, including Derreck's kick. It went from impossible to dodge to slower than a turtle. Ender didn't expect such a massive boost in speed, but he decided to keep his head cool and start making some moves.

He moved out of the kick's way and started punching the shit out of Derreck. He slowly started drifting apart because of the punches but Ender didn't stop. After the five seconds wore off, Derreck suddenly blasted away, ending up at the other end of the warehouse.

"What the fuck?!" Ender exclaimed.

["Force equals mass times acceleration, imagine the force of your punches at such speed."] Ren quickly explained.

Ender quickly got his white and gray hair out of the way and started running toward Derreck. The kidney stab already stopped hurting, demonstrating how powerful Humanycs and his Healing skill were.

Just before Ender could get to Derreck, he stood up while coughing violently. His eyes were filled with nothing else but pure hatred.

He got a syringe from his bracelet and said, "Fine, you wanna play with Powerfuels... I will be joining the fun."

"Wait Derreck! I'm not us-" Sadly, Ender couldn't finish. Derreck stabbed the syringe into his heart and poured all the liquid inside.

Then, a massive amount of energy started oozing from Derreck's body, which made Ender take some steps back. The black-haired boy cracked his neck while saying, "I guess that 75% will do the trick."

The moment Ender heard '75%', his mind shut off trying to analyze the words again.

["Huh? Wasn't 50% the max for Powerfuels?"]

Ender gave a big deep breath, 'See, Powerfuels is the legal version. Derreck is a daddy's boy, meaning his arsenal is way more powerful... including the illegal versions.'

["Have fun then..."] Ren muttered.

Suddenly, Derreck blasted forwards in a way that Ender couldn't even describe. Luckily, he timed it perfectly and crouched at the best moment, making Derreck trip and fall forward. He screamed to the ground and grab a small metal beam, launching it towards Ender at a rail gun speed.

He dodged it by mere centimeters even though the distance between him and Derreck bordered the twenty meters. It was so close that it cut some of his hair off.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!" Derreck screamed with bloodshot eyes.

["He has truly lost his mind..."]

Ender, on the other hand, could only watch in pure despair. He knew what was about to come, but didn't know how he would get over everything in one piece.
