Chapter 1: A World of Chaos
Opening into a world where the sky wasn’t blue; it was the color of a bruised lung, heavy with the soot of a thousand dissolved and destroyed cities. A man Kael pressed his back against a slab of crumbling concrete, listening to the wet, heavy thud of his opponent’s footsteps drawing closer. In the distance, the shimmering edge of the Sphere hummed—a battle that promised a wish to the winner and a nameless grave to the loser.
His lungs burned. Every breath tasted like copper and old smoke. He reached into his tactical vest, searching for a grenade, a knife, anything—but his fingers found only a heavy, rusted scissors he had scavenged from the ruins of a school.
The footsteps stopped. “End of the road, Kael,” a voice rasped from the pullulated fog.
Kael closed his eyes. He wrapped his scarred fingers around the jagged blade of the scissors. He didn’t see a piece of scrap metal. In the theater of his mind, he began to reshape it. He imagined the blade of it turning red and expanding into the size of his whole hand, held in the palm of his hand.
The scissors began to shine. The rust didn’t fall off—it turned into sparks. Making sounds of snip and snaps around sphere vibrating through all metal.
“You’re dead meat now,” Kael whispered.
As the scissors grew and shined, the man chasing Kael (Reiner) has a glove with a skull imprinted on it turns it into a skeleton body shield which out grows him and enhance his physical abilities also having a giant skeleton behind to fight for him. Kael shows a set of skills on close combat swinging the scissors around him and plunging it to ground as it cracks the floor, he stands on the scissors getting ready for the final fight between him and Reiner
As they stare at each other eye to eye; Kael thinks “what I am going to do after this fight, make another stupid wish like the other times, it’s world chaos outside this sphere, how many more do I have to kill , how many more do I have lose in this Hellscape of a world.”
The next move was Reiner’s, and he quickly throws a barrage of punches with his new enhanced gloves (which can break building in a punch) called Skullesta. Kael blocks the attack with his giant scissors and then swings it towards Reiner, Reiner dodges, and Kael ends up slicing a boulder into two pieces. Reiner’s giant skeleton then admits to smash Kael and fails. Reiner in the hast of winning the fight reveals one of his abilities, which is to summon skeletons of any size and number. Kael again, feeling cornered by his opponent goes in a frieze and starts cutting everything he sees. Reiner seeing this starts laughing and says “heyyyy dumbass you really think you can beat me , it doesn’t matter how many sphere fights you won or how many people you killed, in the end your just weak man and no one to go back other than your stupid sister maybe after i kill you i might take knock at her as well”.
Hearing Reiner talk about him and his sister like that made him even angrier than before. Now each swing of his cut through buildings and land without even touching it. Reiner then makes all his skeletons attack Kael from all directions. Surrounded by the skeletons, Kael uses one of his abilities from the scissors which was the ability to cut anything and everything in perfect symmetry with a certain range. This clears up a path for Kael to Reiner; he swings the scissors at Reiner and blows a direct hit. There was blood spilling from wound across Reiner’s body, Reiner spat out blood and got on his knees; as Kael was about end him screaming ‘Go to hell, you bastard’ a burst of flaming energy comes from Reiner’s body, and it heals the wound. Reiner stands up and says “Now you have done monkey” as blue flames bursting out his eyes and mouth. The giant skeleton behind also starts igniting in blue flames and then reveals it as his final ability. The heat from Reiner’s blue flames was unnatural; it didn’t just burn Kael’s shirt away; it scorched the very air in his lungs. Stripped to the waist, Kael’s ribs stood out like the bars of a cage. His body was a map of scars and malnutrition, held together by nothing but spite and the weight of his giant, glowing blades.
Reiner without hesitation starts attacking with flaming punches with his Skullesta. As Kael parries, all the attacks with his blades of the scissors start chipping away due to the heated punches. Kael, being cornered for the third time, decided to use his last ability called ‘REALITY FLIM EDITING’ which allows him to see the reality around as a film and cut certain portions out of it with his scissors. As Kael activated ‘Reality Film Editing,’ the world lost its color, turning into a grainy, flickering reel and using this ability he cuts off Reiner’s flames and giant out of reality making Reiner powerless. Kael quickly cuts his head off quoting “And that’s the end of this scene bitch“ which brings to an end of the fight in the sphere.
As Reiner’s body burns from the remaining flames, the sphere speaks and asks Kael, “what is that you wish for young man, i shall grant it to you.”
Kael after killing 73 people who were dragged into this fight without any will to participate in it, started to think about wish for hundred time is it for food, is it for water, is it for money or something else. He spoke to himself “Even if I wish for any of these things people outside the sphere will just attack us and take away from us, i wouldn’t have the powers of these scissors which were granted to me by the sphere outside it. What should I do, what should I do, what should I do, Damm it what should I wish for.”
Kael confused on what to wish for started banging his head on floor as it stared to bleed, he though what way was the best possible to protect his dear sister, the last remaining precious thing in this world to him. He suddenly stopped banging head covered in blood and said, “hey sphere i have decided on a wish to make, I wish to keep the power of the sphere with me outside the sphere as well.” The sphere repieled to Kael, saying that there was rumor about the people who have wished for the same disappear along with the sphere. Kael hell bend getting the powers made the wish get the powers, and sphere agreed to it as well. The sphere slowly started to deform and the walls of the sphere became clearer and see through.
Sadly, to sight of Kael had witnessed he regretted it all. The sight was a man stabbing his sister to dead for the bread in her hand. Kael tried to save her, but the walls have not fully deformed and so he fails he sits there crying and regretting making that wish, then wished if could make wish bring her back to life or he could wish to make her immortal or something like that. As he sits there in anguish the particles from the sphere start to move towards him and enters him; suddenly he feels as if thousands of spears pierced through him in an instant, his body started to burn up it was hotter than the flames of Reiner, the nerves started feel like they being electrocuted. He started floating slight of the ground as it shatters, small objects like rocks started attaching to him, soon after big buildings also came flying towards him as if he were some sort of blackhole, because of all the pain Kael blanked out.
Kael slowly opens his eyes to see clear blue sky and bright sun blinding him
