(Some time passes and the group starts doing preperations for the attack...Uyeda and Jeron were set on the street, Chloe and Chris on the roof and the teachers as backups on the street..The time slowly came..
People were still moving around the city thinking the announcement was a joke...Jeron hears something in the sky...He whistles at Uyeda and he nods...Its 00:00:00 on the timer...
The sun was slowly coming up as the corrupted started landing from the sky...Jeron uses his powers to make a huge blade and dashes at some of them..Uyeda summons his wings and starts cutting up Corrupted with them...
Chris and Chloe look at the fights below and start thinking why they only landed on the streets...)

"Chloe:True..."
(Chloe feels footsteps approaching them...Chloe turns around and almost stabs the person...)
"???:Heh...Bad timing..?"

It almost lands on a building but it gets hit by a purple orb blast..They dont focus on whos up there and just keep fighting..Toda and the others arrive and start helping Jeron and Uyeda...)
"Uyeda:Theres too many of them!"
"Jeron:Your right...There are.."
"Toda:Don't worry guys..We will be fine.."
(They keep fighting then off until the corrupted freeze in place...They look in the sky and see a familiar face...)
"???:Shadowy...Void..."
(Everything goes black for the corrupted and the group...They open their eyes in the void...A disturbed figure is in the distance...It snaps it fingers and turns around...)

"Kikuchi:You know...Having one of the ancient traits isn't easy...They are harder to use than normal ones.."
"Jeron:Kikuchi...?"
"Kikuchi:Well Its time to return back to the real world.."
(Kikuchi smiles at Jeron, Uyeda, Chris, Chloe and Toda..He snaps his fingers and they appear in the real world..The corrupted are in a collumn..While the group is behind Kikuchi...
He starts charging a purple and blue blast in diffrent hands..He puts his hands together and shoots the blast at the corrupted..They all get disfigured and explode...After thr blast ends the corrupted slowly start turning to dust...)
"Kikuchi:Yay! We did it!"
"Uyeda:Your..Alive..?"
"Kikuchi:Oh...I never died..The stab and gunshot didn't do alot of damage..Chloe can you heal me now..?"
"Chloe:Sure Kikuchi.."
"Shou:And this is..?"
"Toda:Jerons classmate and childhood friend..Kikuchi Shibata."
"Kikuchi:Hi there!"
(Kikuchi hears another building collapse...They look to the way the sound came from...Its a 8 m corrupted...)
"Jeron:Heh...Kikuchi stay here...Uyeda, Chris come with me."
(They follow him as Jeron starts turning into his demon form...It tackles the corrutped..Chris and Uyeda start to attack it while Jeron is beating it up..)
"Chloe:How are you feeling Kikuchi..?"
"Kikuchi:Good Chloe..Were they worried when they thought I died..?"
"Chloe:We all were.."
"Kikuchi:Oh alright.."
(The corrupter gets up and throws Jeron into a building and almost impales Chris with a spike..Kikuchi gets up and teleports to the shadow void...)
"Kikuchi:Heh.."
"???:Why do you always come back here...Just leave me alone to finally die..."
"Kikuchi:Oh..I thought we were still friends..Alright then..."

(Kikuchi floats to another island...)
"Kikuchi:Oh your injuries still havn't healed..."
"???:Well yeah..The fight was hard.."
"Kikuchi:True..I saw you struggle alot..Sad that you died thought..But we already got a replacement for you...Alright I have to leave..Bye.."
(He teleports out of the void and appears in the real world where they still are fighting the corrupted..He looks around and sees more corrupted come..)
"Toda:More corrupted incoming!"
"Shou:Cool..We get to fight more!"
"Kikuchi:Yeah.."
(Kikuchi dashes in and kills 10 of them in one swipe..Toda summons clones that start killing them..Shou grabs the ground and it seperates between some corrupted...)
"Kikuchi:Shadow Absorb!"
(Thousands of shadows grab some of the corrupted and pull them to the void...Kikuchis eyes glow from the people going in..He starts to laugh and keeps pulling more in...Chloe looks scared at Kikuchi..)
"Toda:There are so many of them..."
"Shou:Well the guy did say..Thousands of corrupted.."
"Kikuchi:I AM GONNA KILL THEM ALL!"
(The shadow arms start throwing the corrupted at eachother...Jeron snaps the corrupted's neck and throws it onto the corrupted fighting Uyeda..)
"Uyeda:Jeron be a little more careful!"
"Jeron:Its fine,brother! I won't hit you!"
"Chris:You guys might hit me.."
(Kikuchi turns the ground into a void and even more fall in there...He holds out a blast and smiles..)
"Kikuchi:Toda, Shou..Duck!"
(He fires the blast as Toda and Shou jump away from the path..The blast goes thru hundreds of buildings...The corrupted died...
Tokyo has been saved...Kikuchi falls over and falls asleep..Chris walks up to him and starts carrying him...
They make it back to the HQ and see the news report..Over a hundred thousand civillians died...And the damage was in billions..They show a clip of Jeron getting thrown into a building and Kikuchis final blast..)
"Uyeda:Well...We protected our home...Hopefully the other countries trait users can take care of the other ones...Our main priority now is William.."
"Chris:Yeah..This is gonna be hard.."
"Jeron:Heh...Atleast theres 8 of us and one of him.."
"Toda:He might have friends..."
(They think of a plan on what to do...They first need to think where William is..)
"Toda:Is there any place he liked to go in Japan...?"
"Uyeda:Well yeah..There is this one old temple..He likes being there alot.."
"Shou:Then its the first place we are gonna look...Do you know where it is..?"
"Uyeda:Ofcourse..."

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
