Chapter 2 - Limelight

His hands that were supporting him became weak, shaking uncontrollably and gave out as he face planted the ground and started crying

"I.. I don't.. have... powers"

"Please don't kill me"

He cried profusely with his body shaking

The adjon looked at each other with shock on there faces and laughed hysterical

"Who hates you so much?"

"How do you not have powers?"

"So, your worthless"

They said thinking of how unlucky this boy is

"Don't kill him" an adjon said

"Why not?"

Another member said

"Yes we won't

"We'll make you want to kill yourself every day

"We will make your life fun..

"For us"

They said with the biggest grin on there faces

SWOOSH**

As the founding adjon member kills the rest with one slash of his blade with the speed faster than light itself.

"Let me introduce myself"

"I am an actual adjon"

"These weaklings were goons for hire"

"I won't kill you like I said"

"But you'll be tortured"

He looked at me without a smile or without a frown

He was emotionless and wasn't doing it for joy or money but because he could and no one can stop him.

He held kenji by his head and moved so fast it felt like nothing happened but kenji's brain was still processing everything,he traveled over 10,000 kilometers in less than a second in a castle.

"We're here"

He said

As I saw 4 men standing in front with the stature of a nobles

"These are your dictators "

"These are the real adjon"

He took him outside and said

"You see that castle we just came out of? " ,"don't go over there we'll kill you"

"Stay here instead"

He showed him nothing but the ground to lay on.

The property stretched with no end in sight.

Kenji who has just lost everything didn't know what to think, he just steered into distance with tears streaming down his face. He didn't make noise, he just sat there with no thoughts in his head. The image of the faces of his siblings left a permanent scar in his mind.

"MORNING SUNSHINE IT'S TIME"

An adjon woke him up

"Alright here's what gonna happen you are going to try to survive a beast only people that mastered their powers can beat this"

"AANND GO!!!"

he shouted as he disappeared from the area leaving kenji by himself

**CRASH**

as trees fall down a beast 100x bigger than kenji appears out of nowhere ready to eat kenji l

the beast looks like a giant bear but with stubbed legs and a very small snout runs at kenji with full force.

"Survive?"

"Me?"

"No i will die "

As Kenji stands with his arms wide open preparing for the monster to eat him he heard an adjon member say

"This monster won't eat you in one go"

"It loves the screams of its victims so it will take your legs first if you decide to do nothing"

Kenji's eyes open and widen and realizes it's to late to move as the beast teats of his legs and eats it waiting for the scream

AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

As the pain surges through his body kenji cries in pain asking why him and why couldn't he just die painlessly

Then the beast came back and took his left arm for more screaming.

Then he took the right

Then stomped on him

Ending Kenji's life right Then and there

"Damn I expected him to run or something"

An adjon member said disappointed

As all 5 stand over his body and says "let's bring him back I guess "

BA-DUM**

BA-DUM**

BA-DUM**

As Kenji's heart starts again he jumps up having a panic attack as his body was regrown and is slightly stronger than before

CRASH**

as the beast comes back again to kill kenji

"If you choose to not do anything you will just die again painfully"

"No matter what we will revive you"

"Just don't do it too often because"

"One of us might have to step in"

Kenji thinks about it and just repeats what he did before suffering the sam fate

"He did it again " as an adjon is becoming frustrated with him already

"Revive him"

He breaths heavily as he's been revived again.

Kenji ran with tears in his eyes to use his belt to hang himself on a tree.

In doing so the beast came out and saw him on and took bite out of him

After he woke up again he say a adjon member infront of him

"Here's a sword, dong kill yourself with please" he said disappointed in boy knowing full well he's gonna do it.

And as the adjon left as expected he stabbed himself in the heart ending his life.

He was then brought back to life seeing the sword next to him again he them instantly cut his own throat

He woke up again looking for the sword to end his own life again he say an adjon standing menacingly infront of him

"Listen here boy, kill yourself again and we'll torture you" he said with a grin on his face

So kenji got up and said "well I might as well try"

As he looked for the monster ready to kill it

He had nothing to lose because he lost everything

Kenji found the monster eating away the bodies of the fake adjon members

Kenji snuck up on it trying to find a blind spot

But couldn't

He decided to climb a tree near to the monster and jumped on it

BUMMM**

As he stabbed the monster in its back and when the monster realized he shrugged him off sending him flying into tree

He wakes up again actually feeling motivated to kill the monster

He hunted the strong monster down.

He tracked its movements

He studied its every action just to kill it

And for the first time since recently he felt happy

He became confident in his skills

And final he attack in its blindspot but the sword didn't pierce the skin of the beast

The monster realized and swung his hands breaking every bone in kenjis body

Kenji woke up and instantly searched for the beast

"This is actually sad but interesting " and adjon member stated

"I know but his confidence is skyrocketing" another chimed in

Kenji started to think of different strategies to take down the monster developing the ability to think quickly.

After a thousand deaths.

"He has died a 1000 times now"

"That's crazy" one of the adjon members said

"He still shows no progress, this is pittiful"

Kenji hunted the monster again.

He stalked it like the prey watching it's predator

THEN HE STRIKES.

With every bit of strength he decided to kill this monster

He jumps with full force down on the monster.

Aiming for it's eye

**Gump

As Kenji stabs it in it's eye

**ROARRR

As the monster cry's in pain

"Hm that's interesting" the adjon member responsible for Kenji said

Kenji grabs a hold on the beast as it thrashed around in pain and running throw trees. Kenji held tightly to his sword raising it high, then plunged it

Deep into the monster skull then repeatedly stabbed it again and again in its head. Blood spraying everywhere on kenji's face . The monster screams in pain losing its strength as Kenji relentless stabs it without fail until the monster collapsed.

Kenji with blood covering his face looks up to the sky.

"I am free"

He said softly to himself

As the feeling of freedom swiped over him and at that moment he stopped caring about everything around him slowly becoming emotionless and then he became calm

Saying in his mind "I have nothing to care for, I have nothing"

He wanted to kill the adjons but knew he didn't have the strength to do so

"Impressive" the adjon member responsible for Kenji said "don't celebrate yet, this is just your first challenge" as grin formed on his face

"Where's the challenge" he said ready to fight again.
