2 Back (1/2)

Back.

darkness, I don't know how long I have been here, and I don't have any sense of time, but I feel like I've been here for thousands of years.

I..I I feel like I'll lose something important if I don't if I don't.....

I don't know what I must do, what is this place

my name, I can't remember my name, no I must remember I must.

'you really went all out there bro'

'yea cap, was really amazing today '

' Yea he was like woosh and woosh and instantly 5 Gobs dropped dead, his sword skills are seriously something else'

'haha it wasn't me that made the day it's our teamwork that did'

'hahaha modest as always cap'

'guys let's have a toast for the cap '

'Yeah for the cap'

”HUUUUUUUURPPPP”

HUUUUH HUUUH HUUUH,

taking in heavy breaths a teenager was sitting atop a cheap-looking mattress in very small and worn out apartment. His navy-blue eyes shined in the dark of the room and his hair was so black it perfectly fit in the darkness

With his hands clenched he stood up, his legs shaky and his vision blurry, slowly step by step he approached the mirror hanging on the wall opposite to him.

The reflection of his face, showed up, but it brought him nothing but the initial bit of surprise, and he just stood there, gazing at the reflection of himself.

if it weren't for the noise coming from outside,

it would seem as if time had stopped.

suddenly the teenager lifted his arm and punched the mirror.

the mirror broke down, some shards fell to the ground, while others penetrated the young man's fist.

tears started heavily pouring out while he mumbled.

”I can't remember their names”.

I can't remember their names, faces, nicknames.

Link fell to his knees knowing full well what that meant.

[Reversal] one of the few mythical skills in existence.

It could reverse any kind of damage, but its usefulness was not only in defense, rather it could do much much more, it could reverse death itself, but the price for that was very hefty.

And Link knew what price has been paid.

they were definitely wiped out from past, future, and present, for that was the price of reversal.

his friends for the sake of saving him sacrificed themselves, they used their very souls to give him one more chance at life.

The clock in the back ticked, unfeeling like the machine it was.

'I'm sorry everyone… I'm sorry I couldn't save you, I'm sorry I did not uphold my promises'

Link fell down, next to the blood and mirror shards on the ground.

Closing his eyes for a solid minute, he contemplated everything that had happened, the people that used them as a show, the dark abyss that hunted him, and the women that dragged him back to this moment of time and space.

He cursed them all inside of his head, slowly building his conviction, and as strength built up in his eyes, the rooms temperature fell down, Link's killing intent was seeping all around, almost solidifying to the shape of a reaper behind his back. But, he, seemingly unaffected looked around, slowly recognizing his room.

'it is just like he said'

he remembers when his friend told him about his ability and how it can reverse time to a certain degree.

'seems like I'm back to before that happened'

his hands went through his pockets, and pulled out an old crappy phone, to check the date.

He pulled out some money that would barely get him by as well, but he just ignored it for now.

Turning on the phone, huge numbers showed up which read out.

26/07/2017

His eye's flashed for a moment.

'I got one year'

After he confirmed the date. he started treating the light injury on his fist, right after, he grabbed an old dirty backpack and filled it with whatever food he found in his fridge, alongside some clothes and a tent with everything packed, Link turned around and looked at long box next to his mattress.

He approached it quickly, opening it carefully.

This box was the only thing his father had left him, inside it, rested a 90 cm katana, he had always wondered why his father had left him a katana, he wasn't even of Japanese origin which really didn't make sense.

But this one katana, played a huge role in his survive when the devil's descent had happened in the past, he couldn't have survived without it, but later on an accident happened, and he lost the katana, along with his arm to enemy that coveted his weapon, which caused him a lot of suffering later on.

And now, with the katana in his hand, he did not know if he was fortunate or unfortunate, but no matter, he had to use it once again.
