1 years later.
Right now, Kai is 19 years old now and it's almost 4 years, 6 months when Hirako left the world he becomes extremely handsome man with somekind of mysterious atmosphere covering his body. Which is the aura, he also become quite tall if before Kai is only 5'7 feet, right now, he is 6'1 feet.
He is standing Infront of graved with sorrowful expression, in his arms lay a bouquet of flowers.
The young man also has extremely perfect bod , his body only could probaby seduced countless woman around the world not because of how big it is, but because of how it suit their taste. he's still always visiting Hirako's grave, if before he is visiting her for like day by day, but right now it become 3-4x a week after all, the [Akuma] had suddenly skyrocket in number.
It happened a few months ago, just before Kai was able to make the aura effect the reality itself. For example, if he forms the aura into the shape of swords and uses it to cut something, he can cut that something, but not just with an ordinary cut. Like if he tries to cut a stone with a 'real' sword, instead of cutting it in a half, it will just destroyed. While if he tries to cut the stone with the use of sword formed from the aura, it will cut in half, and also the feeling of cutting is like cutting a pudding.
....
Few months ago.
A young man is running excitedly towards the grave with a lot of flower, it's standing on the other grave because it's extremely clean and full of flowers, the other people who saw the young man running towards the grave, they just smiled in sympathetic way after all , they knew the young man, that kid is someone who had lost an extremely important person.
He is always here visiting the grave no matter what, even if snowing, or in extremely hot day, or even in raining day , he's always here visiting the grave so it's not that surprising if those grave worker know about him.
If Kay isn't visiting for like a week's, they are the one who's cleaning the grave.
"Hey Hirako finally I was able to make the aura affect reality, and I discovered it like accidentally or rather I accidentally got an inspiration.
It's few weeks ago when I was fighting a [Akuma] an insane thought suddenly emerge from my mind which is, what if I tried to absorbed the energy from the core of monster again? Can it make my body more stronger? Can I used the aura much more freely? Can I gain benefits from it? Will it improve my body again? Will it make me more powerful?.
At that time countless question and thought appeared in my mind but that thought is worth trying after all, for like few months I haven't make any significant progress.
Btw, the reason why I haven't really think about doing it before is because of trauma, the trauma I had experience in that 7 days is ingraved in every part of my body even the cells of my body, making me unwillingly dodge the that thought but I guess because of how long I haven't made any progress, I become aware of that.
So I guess because of some curiosity or frustration for not making any progress, I attempt to do that, absorbing the energy inside of [Akuma] core and If I accidentally die, then I die, every person will eventually die no matter what so dying earlier wouldn't change anything rather, it would free me from this endless grief,sorrow, and longing for you.
Anyway I tried it, at first I thought there shouldn't be a problem however, that's all but a wish full thinking I didn't considered the fact that [Akuma] is vanishing along with their core so wouldn't it meant the core would also vanished with the body? And the body is also untouchable when it starts to vanished like if you cut the vanishing [Akuma] the sword would just slips within it's body.
And that's the first major problem I have to solved but I quikly manage to finds the solution by injecting my own aura inside the aura, it might sounds bizarre but the aura is intangible with color so it means even if I inject it within something, it would just passed through the object or tangible thing.
However, it's completely different when I tried it doing on the core, like it absorb my aura and when the core is tainted by my own aura, it didn't disappeared rather, it still continue existing in the reality without any sign of vanishing.
I'm excited at that time so I quikly tried to absorb the energy from the core, btw, the core isnt anything i imagine like in complete circle, sphere,square or what.
The core energy is just flowing rotately, I doesn't have any distinct form or what, just flowing rotately it can be circle sometimes, or Oblong or rectangle, rhombus, it doesn't have any definite shape, it's just need to be connected on each other.
And when i touch it, the energy starts to flowing from my hands through every part of my body like it's completely normal, it's probably because I inject some of my aura into the core that's why, it's completely compatible with my body however after the energy washed every parts of my body, then it start leak uncontrollably.
And at that time, I finally realized my second major problem, there's no such a thing as container in my body , there's nothing who would contained the energy I absorb from the core like I poured a cup of water on a table and after the water spread in the whole place, it starts to fall in every corner and sides of the table.
Something like that, I'm not really good at explaining something in a metaphor way. So let's continue at first I thought my body could become the container itself so I absorb energy many times from the core itself, trying to feel where is the leaking place. And when I finally feel everything do you know what I feel? I feel hopeless, It's because there's like a 1000+ leaking place in my body but still, if it's one of the essential thing I have to do so I could changed the whole timeline for you, then I wouldn't mind memorizing it no matter how hard.
Because of that memorization, I end up not going in your grave for like a week, sorry about that, btw, I was able to memorize the entire thing in 1 week, I guess you would asked something like 'why so long?' when you're alive, well to put it simply, it's because even my organ, blood veins, partial parts of heart, brain,hair,some part of pupils,Nail, etc has a leaking place so it's really hard to memorize them all.
And when I finally memorized them, I guess because of excitement I quikly seek a [Akuma] fortunately, I found it very fast because of I didn't waste time on finding those things and quikly tried to absorb the energy from the core while I covered every possible way where the energy would leakout however ranother unexpectedly thing happened, the energy after it spread in every parts of my body, it become extremely wild and chaotic, like it's trying to break free from my body or breaking every parts of my body so the energy can get out.
Fortunately I quikly sense the problem and removed the aura covering every leaking place before it could break my body or before my body explode because of the chaotic energy trying to destroyed my whole body.
Then again, it's another failure, the theory that my body could possibly become the container of energy from [Akuma]'s core is now impossible.
Because of frustration, look like I become crazy for a days at that time, because of it I'm not able to visit you, I'm sorry again hehe, do you know what I do? I just go hunting every [Akuma] in the whole town, killing them like somekind of insect , the difference between the [Akuma] and insect is, they are strong and can fight toe to toe with human unlike ants.
That is also the time when I finally got my inspiration from fighting one of those [Akuma], not just ordinary one, but stronger, probably the most strongest I Akuma I had ever face, I'm at the disadvantage in the whole fight, fortunately, i was able to clutched the fight in the last seconds.
Which is by going in extreme resort, destroying the whole building where we're fighting with, making it collapse I meant, luckily there's no one who get hurt in that accident, I'll admit I'm really reckless at that time, I didn't even considered if there's a person in the building.
But in the end, It success, the [Akuma] got crushed under the building pressure.
If you we're alive, I think your thinking something like '[Akuma] cannot be hurt by mundane thing so how did the [Akuma] die from being crushed to death with the building?' well, it's by spreading the magic installed within the sword I was using which is the made with your earrings, I spread it in the whole building until I marked everything.
Then just like that, I make the whole building explodes off with dynamite, I'm really such a lucky guy after all, I have a dynamite with me when I was fighting with that [Akuma] and because the whole building has a magic installed within it, it means the whole building now is a weapon, a dangerous weapon for [Akuma] that capable to killed him but as a result, the magic stored within the sword had almost depleted.
But it's still quite usable unless I activate another magic abilities and completely draining the magic within it. when the monster has die, there is something he left or rather, there is a drops like those rewards we can get in the game when we killed a npc or complete a task.
The difference is, the thing he left is a sphere objects, emitting extremely profound and familiar energy, it's the core of that monster who I just killed but unlike normal core, the core Infront of me at that time had transparent barrier, preventing the energy inside to leakout.
As I stared at the core for a minute, an idea struck my mind like what if, I make my own core within my body? A core that can contained the energy I'm absorbing with? A place where I can restored the energy and make it mine?.
Furthermore, the aura can stop the [Akuma]'s core from disappearing along with the monster, then does that mean, aura can also restraint or confined the energy from the [akuma]'s core in my body?.
However there's this problem, where would I place the core? It's not like I can place it alongside my hearts or anything within my body right? so I thought can I place the core inside the depth of my soul?
But is there even a soul to begin with? Or the soul is even true?. Well I don't really know but I was able to create my owned core within my body, or I guess within my soul.-
As he said that Kai, slowly lifting his upper body clothes and place his index finger at the left side of his heart, there he said again, continuing his story on how he obtained the core.
-my core is right there you know?, no, I feel that my core is right there but at the same time, it's also not in there , because my core is within my soul. Btw, I name it as 'soul core' well the reason Behind my naming was,because the core is within my soul, just like that it's really simple.
I can't really put in words what's different between me before and now that I had a core except, I was able to manifest the aura into tangible form and my sense about those monster become even more sensitive like I can [Akuma] in the distance of 200-400 meter."
As he said that, Kai slowly stand up, turning his body towards the space break within his back, he slowly stuck together his two finger then Kai made a small gestures of slicing the air in front of him then with just that gestures the ripples of space was gone like entirely gone without even leaving any sign of its existence.
After that Kai turned his head towards the grave and he lower his gaze slowly looks at it for the last time. he said in low deep toned.
"I'm sorry looks like I have to leave now, those [Akuma] is starting to runs wild again btw, I place something in your tomb so even if some of those creatures descends here, they wouldn't be able to destroyed your grave. Ah right, I would continue my story on how I form my core I guess tommorow or the day after that.
See ya"
