Chapter 3 - Anakiss is a Murderer

Anakiss... He killed me. That bastard killed me. He had to kill me when I was having the most fun I've ever had. 

Death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death, death. 

I wake up to the satisfaction of a fire sizzling, and cooking a piece of steak. I look to my right and see a man, estimated to be about 18 years old, sitting there, eating a half eaten apple. I assumed he gave half of the apple to his german shepherd that was sitting next to him, panting. 

I look around, scanning the environment. 

Then it hit me, "WHERE'S ANAKISS?!" I say in a frantic tone, getting up and shaking the man, genuinely worried about people's lives. 

"I'm right here, kid." A voice could be heard. 

"Anakiss..? ANAKISS, WHERE ARE YOU, MOTHERFUCKER?!" I yell out in frustration. 

The guy eating the apple taps my forehead with his index finger and says "He's inside of you." 

I reply with, "Oh yeah, that's right..." 

"WAIT, HOW THE FUCK DID YOU SUPRESS HIM?! HE'S ANAKISS, A COLD BLOODED MURDERER, WHO LITERALLY (MIND YOU) DESTROYTED A BUILDING!!" I say, breathing heavily when I finish my sentence. 

"With my ability." The man says, taking another bite out of his apple and giving the rest to his dog. 

"You have a Spectral?" I ask. 

"Yeah" He says. 

"After I defeated Anakiss (as you call him) I went up to check on you, thinking you were dead. But there's a 1 in a million chance that Spectral users get healing tendancies. So imagine my surprise when I looked at your body that was already in the process of healing." 

The man grabs his phone and turns on a news podcast. 

"Breaking News, a group of four boys were found dead in a public bathroom. Their bodies were bent in ways that weren't possible, along with hundreds of cuts all over their bodies." The news lady says. 

"Do you happen to know these boys by any chance?" He asks me as the news lady shows photos of the K.O.K.K brothers. 

"Those were by bullies." I calmly say. 

Why? Why am I back to being the boy I was before? I thought I had changed... I... I want to feel that rush again! I don't wanna be the boy I am! I finally have something to live for! 

The moonlight shines on the man, allowing me to get a better view at him. 

The man had long, flowing, yellow hair that stretched down to his back. He had red, gloomy eyes, with an ear piercing on his left ear. He wore a black suit with chains all over it, and a metal collar. His pants were pitch black. I thought to myself; how did he get his pants so dark? His shoes were black, and squeakly clean. He held his right hand in his pocket, and his left hand was occupied with petting his dog. 

"How did you defeat Anakiss?" I ask. 

"It wasn't an easy battle, I'll tell you that for free." The man responds, his tired, red eyes pierced my soul. 

-Flashback- 

"Shitty brat." Anakiss would say, smirking at my split in half corpse. 

Anakiss would look over at the city of Tokyo, saying to himself "What a wonderful sight! So many people to murder! This'll be fun!" 

Before he could jump off the roof to kill thousands, a blade was sent through his chest from behind, catching Anakiss by surprise. 

"Another annoying brat to try to stop me..." He said as he turned around, facing the yellow haired man. 

"Before I kill you, state your business and why you're here to kill me." Anakiss frisks. 

"My name's Yoji, and I've got some unfinished business with Luke. So if you'd just give him to me, we'll be all good." He said as his blade disappeared. 

"I'm not too good with blades. I only use mine so I can gather info on my target." Yoji adds. 

"What do you mean?" Anakiss asks. 

"Whoever I stab with my blade, I can fully observe their life time." Yoji responds. 

"Hahaha! You amuse me, Yoji." Anakiss laughs. 

Yoji looks up with a serious face and says "I'm resistent to this blade. Normally, if a normal individual used its powers, their brain would fry, as they couldn't comprehend that much knowledge at once. But for me, I'm different. It usually takes me 1 or 2 seconds to comprehend their life time." 

Anakiss goes in for a kick, as he launches Yoji 100 or so meters away, knocking him into several buildings. 

Yoji lands in the middle of a sky scraper, laying on the floor. Anakiss goes in once more to slash him in the face with his claws. 

When Anakiss was 3 meters away from Yoji, he percieved everything in slow motion, and everything was in a blue font. 

"Additional Ability: Spectrals Sing, Spectrals Cry: Innate Blue Sea World." Yoji muttered to himself. 

"T-This bastard... I... I can't move! What did this brat do to me?!" Anakiss growls, trying to move his muscles, but the blue environment seemed to nullify all movements. 

"Is this his Unique Ability?! No, it doesn't seem like a Unique Ability. It's more of an... Additional Ability!!" Anakiss smirked, knowing he could only use his Additional Ability once a day. 

Suddenly, a list of rules came flowing into Anakiss' head. 

Rule 1: This is a Sacred Spectral Ability. 

Rule 2: The user of the Sacred Ability (Yoji) can enter anytime they want. 

Rule 3: Those who enter this fabric of time cannot move (This rule does not apply to Yoji) 

Rule 4: A creature will spawn somewhere within 50 meters of the designated target. Depending on your luck, the creature could spawn 1 meter away from you, or 50 meters away from you. 

Rule 5: You will be given 36 seconds to survive the creature (Yoji's favourite number) Good luck! 

A Sacred Ability. Spectral Users can awaken their Sacred Ability if they're worthy enough. Sacred Ability users can use a Sacred Ability as much as they want, but it requires a chunk of energy to use. (Note: A Sacred Ability is basically Domain Expansion. This story is a mix between Persona 5 and Jujutsu Kaisen.) 

"I was wrong about this being an Additional Ability. Should I lay out my own Sacred Ability?" Anakiss asks himself, as he hears a creak. 

"No... With the current state I'm in, I doubt I even could." 

The creature appears in front of him and punches Anakiss in the jaw. 

Anakiss was knocked to the floor. When he looked up, his vision was a bit hazy, but adjusted after a few seconds. He saw the creature standing above him. 

The creature didn't have skin. It was a ball of black flames with purple flames outlining it, with a humanoid form. 

It was winding up a punch, when Anakiss jumped up and dodged it. 

"U-Uh..." Anakiss said, wondering why he was able to move .

Anakiss, in that moment, thought that maybe he could slightly move inside of the barrier, but he stopped moving! 

"Wait... What if I can use my unique ability in here?" Anakiss asked as he fired off a slash towards the creature. 

But it was futile, as the slash passed right through the black and purple flame abomination. 

"Yeah, I'm pretty much screwed if I stay in this Sacred Ability much longer." Anakiss said to himself. 

In the heat of the moment, Anakiss muttered "Sacred Ability: Absolute Obliteration."
