2- Awakening and lineage

HEY THERE, abyss here. If you couldn't figure out who "oni" is, don't sweat it.

I just want tell you guys that the crossover is gonna begin.

Now then. Let's start.

_______________________________________________________

Saying that hiroki looked tense would be a understatement.

The reason for his predicament was floating right in front of him.

[You're watching a master at work!]

[Meet the oni and convince him to train you.]

[Rewards: (1) +5 enchantment tokens (uncommon)

(2) +5 experience tokens (uncommon)

(3) +1 Fortune token

(4) +1 item draw ticket(rare)

(5) +5000 credits ]

[Penalty upon failure: system will disappear along with all the effects provided by it.]

This was his third quest and from the rewards and penalty, he could tell this was gonna be really hard.

"Does this thing wants me to find a real oni? Like the ones from fairytale and folklore? No, from what I've observed the system wants me to grow stronger, and the conditions to clear the quest is to make this oni 'train' me. So that means this "oni" is a title."

[Due to user's correct deduction INT has increased by 2]

[Due to user's great intuition SEN has increased by 1]

Hiroki concluded and looked at the notifications and smiled.

Suddenly his pale skin turned even paler, his smile disappearing.

"What does one have to do to be called demon? I have a very bad feeling about this. "

Hiroki took a deep breath then stood up. He didn't want to lose this opportunity.

The moment he made his mind a silver arrow appeared in front of him pointing towards his right.

Hiroki began following the arrow and after walking for an hour and half, he reached a warehouse.

"Woah, a warehouse. This doesn't feel sketchy as fuck. Nope,not even a bit."

Hiroki thought with a deadpan look. His musings were cut short though.

BANG!!!

A deafening crash was heard from inside the warehouse. As if the sound was a signal. Sounds of banging and crashing started to be heard.

Hiroki gulped and slowly approached the giant gate of the warehouse but stopped as the door was ripped off of its hinges as more than 30 men came flying out.

Hiroki stared at the bloody guys. Their bones were broken as if they were hit by a wrecking ball.

He looked inside and froze. Hiroki could describe the situation in front of him with single word.

Massacre.

It was a Massacre, hundreds of mens with various kind of weapons were getting completely destroyed by a single man who had a mad grin plastered on his face.

In a matter of minutes the army was turned into a mountain of corpses. The man sat on top it, smoking a cigarette.

Hiroki was feeling like he was staring at death itself, the man- no the demon infront of him was the one he had to impress, which was confirmed by the silver arrow which floated directly above the monster, pointing at him.

The man suddenly stood up and jumped of the mountain of bodies and began walking away from a hole in the wall probably created by him.

Hiroki felt his throat dry up, he wanted to leave but...

[Penalty upon failure: system will disappear along with all the effects provided by it.]

Hiroki clenched his fist and yell.

"W-WAIT! WAIT A MOMENT!"

The man stopped and turned to Hiroki, his features weren't visible due to the shadows.

"A child? What is a child doing here?"

He asked as he changed directions and started approaching hiroki.

Hiroki's instincts were screaming at him to run away but he stood firm.

The man came out of the shadows giving hiroki the opportunity to look at what he looked like.

He was tall, taller than 6 foot, he was wearing a white formal pants, a black shirt with black business shoes and sunglasses with a white long coat draped over his shoulders. His black hair were slicked back and he looked...human?

Hiroki did not expect for the thing that could cause impacts as loud as a wrecking ball to be a actual human.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

The man asked, his voice was demanding and full of power.

Hiroki felt something inside and as if he was under some kind of mind control blurted out.

"Please train me. I want to get stronge- "

His words were cut short as the man suddenly grabbed him by the throat.

"Train you? What nonsense are you spouting? I should kill you instead for being a witness."

Hiroki looked at the man's sunglasses, previous fear now replaced with determination.

" you won't, because you wouldn't gain anything from killing me, from the way you look and how easily you kill indicates that you have a backer big enough to handle the government."

Hiroki said with cold determination swirling in his silver eyes, making them glow.

"I would grow stronger from your training but you won't gain anything from my death, just another kill on your list."

[Due to user's correct deduction INT has increased by 1]

Seeing the look in his eyes and listening to his words the man let go his neck.

"Fine, I will train you If you're able to impress me. But if you aren't able to, then I'll kill you."

The man said, removing his glasses revealing his eyes. His sclera was pitch black while his irises were shining silver just like hiroki's with the only difference being that the man's eyes didn't have pupils unlike hiroki's who had black pupils.

Hiroki stared at the terrifying yet beautiful eyes for a moment but regained his focus and threw jab.

The man simply swatted it to the side like swatting a annoying fly.

"Boxing? Your stance isn't bad."

but that was only a feint as hiroki spun and landed a devastating heel on oni's left cheek.

Instead of stumbling like a normal person the oni took it and didn't even budge.

"Taekwondo too?"

He said as his hand gripped the boy's leg and threw him with barely any strength yet causing hiroki to fly from one end of the warehouse to the other.

Hiroki turned his body and skidded to stop at least 20 meters away from the demon.

"His durability is insane, the blow I just landed could easily disorient or knockout even a trained athlete with the strength I currently have. I need to create a opportunity."

Hiroki thought while keeping his eyes focused at the oni. he then glanced at the pile of corpses and formed a plan.

[Used 1 enchantment token(uncommon)]

[18] -> [19]

"Just 1 more point. 1 more and I can gain a stat exclusive skill. I have a feeling that it will be what I need to put my plan in action."

Hiroki thought and began talking.

"Your eyes, they don't look like tattoos. Which can only mean 2 things."

On hearing hiroki's word the man grew curious and paid attention to his words.

"First being, genetic modification. Your strength is way beyond that of any normal human but from your grip I can tell that you gained this strength by put countless hours of training. So the first is out of question."

Hiroki took a breath then continued.

" second being, hereditary trait. If what I'm thinking is correct then that means you're shiro oni, the man who ended all the rogue clans across the Kanto after kuroda ryuhei destroyed the major clans."

The man smirked. He tried to not show it but he looked...a little satisfied?

"You have a sharp mind kid, I'll give you that. You know how to gauge your opponent's strength and a keen mind to read even small details. You have already passed half the test, but being smart alone won't help much in a fight."

Hiroki just smiled as a window popped up.

"Maybe, maybe not? It Depends."

Hiroki said as he took a boxing stance and started to move his right hand in a 'come here' motion.

The man's smile widen at his boldness, maybe this one will be able to kill him.

Oni suddenly disappeared from infront of his eyes and the next moment he was standing on his side, ready throw a punch.

BANG!!!

The punch sent hiroki flying, but that was what he wanted. Hiroki corrected himself midair and landed on top the corpse mountain.

He wasn't in a good condition as blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth.

"Thought I was gonna die there. Thank God I had activated marble shell."

Hiroki thought as he felt his ribs Crack.

Oni jumped and landed at the top of the pile which was baffling since the hight of the mountain was more than 30 feet.

"Now!"

[You have activated [Wind's grace] (5/5). Speed increased by 50%]

He dashed faster than before towards oni and pushed him off the pile.

The man was surprised at the sudden burst of speed.

Hiroki didn't pause and after building momentum, jumped after the falling man and then

[You have activated [Full bloom]. 50% Mana recharged]

[You have activated [Charge up!]. Strength has been tripled]

Hiroki with the boosts from all of his skills landed a mighty blow to the man's face, slamming him to the ground.

The impact was like 2 trucks colliding together.

The force created a 5 meters wide and a meter deep crater with the oni in the middle, his head buried in the ground.

Hiroki stumbled back and grasped the arm he used [charge up!] on.

His muscles were torn apart, his fingers were broken and his blood vessels burst.

Suddenly the man lifted his feet and jumped back on his feet, the only sign of damage from the hit was the a bruise and the blood flowing from his nose.

Hiroki was speechless. He stared at the monster with disbelief.

"That punch. It was one of the strongest hits I've taken. But it still won't be enough to impress me."

The man said, his eyes glowing even brighter. Then he disappear again.

"It's My turn!"

Hiroki was sent tumbling from the punch and before he could react, his neck was grabbed and he was slammed in the ground almost losing consciousness.

"It seems like I had expected too much. "

He said as he let go of his neck and lit another cigarette.

"Tell me. Why do you want to get stronger?"

The moment hiroki heard the question he thought to himself. Why did he want to get stronger? To defeat the transfer student? What was his motivation?

Hiroki gritted his teeth and began getting up.

"Strength."

"Hmm?"

The oni looked confused at the response but before he could question him any further Hiroki continued.

"I want strength! The strong goes to every situation with an advantage."

"All the weak can do in their presence is quiver, fear or stand around helplessly. The weak get looked down on. Doesn't matter how smart, creative or kind they are. The weak always lose! I...always lose....."

Hiroki finally stood up, his body was covered in a black and silver aura.

[Ding!]

[Your potential has began to shake violently!]

"I came here to get stronger."

[Your potential has broken free! Congratulations!]

"And I won't leave until I gain it!"

[ you have awakened! You have gained 2 exclusive traits]

Hiroki was suddenly flipped upside down then slammed back to the ground.

"I have no idea what you're spouting but all I can say is, give up. I'm saying that I can't teach you anything"

The Oni said but suddenly hiroki grabbed his hand.

Hiroki, without thinking, used the same technique that the demon just used on him and send him flying in the air.

"But What if I just copy you?"

Hiroki's eyes seem to become sharper and his body begin to heat up even more.

Hiroki:So what if I don't have any talent....I'll just take your techniques and fighting styles and make them my own.

The demon lands safely on 1 foot.

"So, there's another one huh. I didn't expect to find a third copycat in this generation."

The demon said as he looked at the boy, the maniac grin was back on his face.

Hiroki looked at the notification in front of him then at the traits he received.

"I will devour you, shiro oni. until there's nothing left."

"HehehehahahaHAHAHAHA! THEN COME BOY!! LET'S SEE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO SURPASS MY MASTERPIECE!!!"

The demon yelled as both of them dashed towards each other.

xxxxx

The demon walked out of the destroyed entrance, his body had some bruises but a gaint grin was plastered on his face.

The reason for his good mood was currently slung over his shoulder, hiroki hung unconscious. His body was bloodied and battered.

"Kid, you have more potential then even my masterpiece. Let's see if you can become someone I want to kill."

The demon stopped, his smile froze then grew even bigger.

"No. I want you to become more, I want you to become the next me. THE NEXT GUN YAMAZAKI!!!"
