Skills, powers that allow you to bring peace to this world, or let you destroy it.

Each skill you use takes an amount of your stamina/energy away.

The stronger/better/useful the skill, the more stamina it takes.

Skills have a true name, either simple or complicated. But most people call their skills whatever they want.

Skills can be obtained in 2 ways.

Way 1, you are born with one skill or multiple. Everyone is born with skills.

Way 2, you kill people and steal a skill from them. You must know the true name of a skill to take it.

Skills, the only thing that keeps this world alive.

Skills, the core of this world.

...

Rinka, a 16-year old boy with sharp, curly, black hair wearing a blue sweater with some grey pants. His eyes are all black, with some grey at the bottom.

Next to him is Minaro, another 16-year old boy. He has long, black hair that reaches his shoulders. He's wearing a dark grey shirt with white stripes on it and dark blue shorts. Minaro's eyes are mainly baby blue with some dark blue at the bottom.

Minaro and Rinka are best friends.

They're getting prepared to head to a lake, where they're going camping for 2 days. But before they can go, Minaro has to complete 3 little tasks.

Rinka and Minaro walk towards their house, they spot a man standing next to a green van waiting diligently.

The man is Cap Driver, a guy in his 30's with black hair wearing a cap, he has jeans and a black button up shirt on, his eyes are all black, and have baby blue squares in the corner. He's one of the butlers in Minaro's home.

Rinka and Minaro walk up to him.

Cap Driver: Hey, Minaro, are you ready for your tasks yet?

Minaro nods his head.

Cap Driver: Okay then, your first task is to go to the backyard and move the rock that's on fire, it's in the way. I've been too scared to touch it.

Minaro: Okay.

Minaro and Rinka go to a part of the backyard.

They spot the rock, it has some burnt sides and the top of it is on fire and smoke surrounds it.

Minaro lightly smiles upon seeing it.

Rinka: How did you guys even manage to set a fucking rock on fire?

Minaro: I have no clue.

Minaro has a skill that allows him to create ice and manipulate it, so he freezes the entire rock, then picks it up. He starts to walk back to Cap Driver, Rinka right behind him.

Minaro drops the frozen rock in front of Cap Driver and it breaks a little.

Cap Driver: Yeah, that's it. Good job.

Minaro: Next task?

Cap Driver: Go in the house, Lady Rose will give you the next task.

Minaro: Alright then.

Minaro and Rinka walk to and into the house.

Inside the house, they find Lady Rose doing the dishes, she glances at them and stops washing.

Lady Rose, a woman who is in her 30's, is the maid of the house and is wearing a green long sleeve shirt and jeans. She has long blonde hair and her eyes are all black with some baby blue at the bottom.

Lady Rose: Ah, Minaro, I need your help.

Minaro: Yeah I'm aware. What do I have to do?

Lady Rose: In the backyard, one of my towels flew into the pool. I need you to get it please.

Minaro opens the kitchen door and walks into the backyard, Rinka behind him. The pool is right outside next to a table.

Minaro: I see the towel, it's in the middle of the pool… but it's really dirty over there for some reason. I'm not trying to get into shower again.

Rinka: Yeah, I don't want you in there either, you take like 3 hours to get out of the damn shower.

Minaro: Yeah.

Rinka: … What if you freeze the pool and walk over it?

Minaro: But then I wouldn't have a pool.

Rinka chuckles.

Rinka: You'd have a piece of Antarctica in your backyard.

Minaro: … I'm gonna try something but this could fail miserably.

Minaro tries to get into the pool but slips, the water splashes up. Rinka stares smiling while confused.

Minaro: I didn't even start to do the thing I wanted to do and failed miserably.

Minaro grabs onto the pool and then gets in a position where he can kick himself off the wall and he does.

Minaro has a skill he calls "Knockback Attacks", with that skill he can make any body part have immense strength when attacking, he mostly strengthens his punches and kicks.

So with his strengthened leg he is able to propel himself powerfully.

He zooms by the towel and grabs it. He stops himself at the other end of the pool and gets out.

Minaro: I didn't fail that though.

…

Minaro enters the house with all his clothes wet and his long hair covering his face. Rinka steps past him.

Lady Rose looks away from her dishes to look at them again.

Lady Rose: Oh, you got the towel?

Minaro moves his wet hair from his face so that he can see again.

He hands the towel to Lady Rose.

Lady Rose: Okay, thank you!

Rinka and Minaro exit the house. Cap Driver is still next to the van but now on his phone. He notices them walking towards him.

Cap Driver: Hey, ready for your last task?

Minaro nods his head.

Cap Driver: Okay! Last task! Minaro, go bring the supply bags from inside the house to over here.

Minaro: Okay.

Cap Driver: Rinka, you can sit in the van and wait if you want.

Rinka: Alright, I'll wait.

Rinka takes a seat in the van and pulls out his phone.

…

A few minutes later, Minaro delivers the last bag, he sighs.

Rinka looks at the bags then at him.

Rinka: Was this really one of the tasks? It was literally just carrying groceries.

Rinka looks around.

Rinka: By the way, where's Cap driver?

Minaro: In the restroom.

Minaro gets into the van and takes a seat next to rinka.

…

About 5 minutes go by.

Cap driver exits the house and enters the driver seat of his van. Minaro and Rinka wait for him to start the car.

Cap driver: Y'all ready?

Minaro: Yeah

Rinka: Yes.

He starts the car and they drive off.

After 30 minutes of driving, They get on the freeway.

Rinka and Minaro are looking out the windows. Cap driver yawns.

Cap Driver: There's a lot of traffic today. This sucks. There was definitely an accident up ahead or something. Someone just HAD to die today!

...

Two men get out of their cars and start to yell at each other.

"PAY ATTENTION BITCH!" Says one of the men.

"MAYBE DON'T CUT IN FRONT OF ME NEXT TIME DUMBASS!"

"Shut up, both of you." An anonymous voice cuts them off.

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAR!"

A guy with red hair and darker red highlights and pure cyan eyes wearing black clothing that has different shades of reds and patterns on it, walks up to the 2 men.

"My name is Rotob, I'll imprint it into your brains, never forget that that'll be the last name you'll ever hear."

"YOU'RE WEIRD MAN!"

Rotob's arm starts to quickly grow to an enormous extent, he swiftly lifts it and slams it into the 2 men, squishing them instantly, before they could even react.

He lifts it back up, blood drips from his forearms as his arm shrinks back to its normal size.

He walks past the smothered corpses of the men in a red puddle that gets larger and larger.

...

Cap Driver yawns again. Suddenly, an explosion happens ahead of him, it startles everyone.

Rinka: Oh shit! An explosion?

Rinka and Minaro could see the smoke rising into the air and the fire getting pushed by the wind in the distance.

Cap Driver turns the radio on and goes to the news station.

Rinka and Minaro can see people abandoning their cars and running from the opposite direction of the conflict.

Cap driver turns the radio on and changes it to the news channel.

"Breaking News! There is a dangerous man on Kaitch Freeway, everyone near the area please leave or and wait for authorities to arrive!" Exclaims a woman on the radio.

Minaro: Damn, I guess that means we're gonna have to wait before we get to the lake.

Cap Driver: Heh, not really… This is a perfect opportunity! All we have to do is beat that guy up and then boom, no more traffic for us cuz everyone left! I've trained you guys for this!

Rinka: But we don't know how strong this dude is.

Cap Driver: And? You guys are strong right? Rinka you've got a katana and Minaro, you've got strong ass attacks. I think you've got it. If you don't, then I'll back you up!

Minaro: I'm willing to try, if it means getting to the lake.

Rinka: I guess I'll try too.

Cap Driver: Okay! Good! I'll be waiting here.

Cap driver turns the car off. Minaro and Rinka open the van doors and get off. They run forwards, squeezing past cars along the way.

...

Rotob flings several cars into the air, his arm is huge again. He then spots Rinka and Minaro who have finally arrived.

Rotob: Woah, you guys have a lot of balls coming up here to fight me. You guys aren't even with the police.

Rinka sticks his hand into his pocket and pulls a katana out. The katana's handle is grey and it's blade is pale blue.

Minaro and Rinka look at each other and nod their heads. Rotob swings his arm at them. Minaro creates a wave of ice under himself which he slides on to reach Rotob.

Rinka hops on the arm and starts to climb it. Rotob quickly swings his arm upwards. Rinka gets launched into the air.

Minaro creates an ice slide for Rinka to land on, then he hops off his ice and slams his leg into Rotob who blocked it. Minaro then quickly punches Rotob in the stomach, launching him into the freeway walls.

Rinka slides onto the floor, Minaro stares as Rotob pushes himself off the wall and stands back up.

Rotob: You guys are strong, I'm not gonna lie. But I recommend you leave before I get serious about killing you.

Minaro: You leave, or we're gonna get serious about killing you. You're ruining the freeway. We have places to go.

Rinka: We're gonna kill him? I don't think that's a good idea.

Minaro: No we're not killing him dumbass.

Rotob laughs.

Rotob: You guys don't even have balls to kill me!

Minaro: I do! He doesn't.

Rinka stands up.

Rotob: Pathetic.

Rinka: Hey, I may not be able to kill but I won't hesitate to beat you up. Get off the freeway man.

Rotob: Nah.

The skin on Rotob's back starts to move, 6 small cannons appear from under his skin. They shoot 6 small missiles.

Rinka and Minaro are surprised. They run away from the missiles. The missiles hit the floor and blow up, smoke quickly fills the area.

Rinka and Minaro run out of the smoke, small ice particles form on Minaro's palms, the particles turn into ice balls. Minaro repeatedly shoots ice balls at the Rotob.

The skin on Rotob's arm starts to move, a flame thrower appears under it. The fire spewed everywhere melts the ice balls instantly as they approach.

Minaro stops launching ice balls and instead starts to run towards Rotob.

The flamethrower quickly sinks back into Rotob's flesh. Now a minigun comes out. Rotob sprays bullets at Minaro and Rinka who run around avoiding everything. Eventually Rotob stops.

"Holy shit!" Rinka thinks.

"This guy is annoying." Minaro thinks.

Minaro launches a wave of ice at Rotob. The skin on Rotob's hands opens up, a large blade sticks out of his flesh that he uses to slice the ice into bits.

Rinka runs towards Rotob and swings his katana at him. Their weapons clash.

"I'll cut him up a little, if I can." Rinka thinks.

Rinka and Rotob's weapons swing and clash multiple times. Rotob enlarges his other hand and throws a punch at Rinka.

Minaro dashes and punches Rotob's hand back, then 10 different Minaros appear around Minaro. This is Minaro's ultimate skill "Clones' '.

Ultimate skills are the most useful and powerful skills that take the most energy to use. When people are born with multiple skills they have the choice to pick their strongest skill and label it as their ultimate skill.

Minaro and all his clones summon waves of ice that combine with each other to create one big wave of ice that speedily slams into Rotob and carries him to a wall, where it pins him and the wall crumbles.

Minaro's clones dissapear. Minaro and Rinka stare at the ice wall waiting for something to happen, the ice is sliced through and Rotob steps out of it.

His nose is broken.

Rotob: Wow! You guys are really messing me up!

Rinka starts to run towards him, Rotob's skin opens and the minigun appears again but before he can shoot, Rinka slices the skin under the minigun off causing it to fall off his body.

The minigun hits the floor and breaks on impact, and then the sliced skin lands on top of it. Rotob is flabbergasted, so flabbergasted he doesn't notice Minaro dashing over to him.

Minaro punches Rotob in the face, knocking him out and breaking a bit of his jaw.

Minaro breathes heavily.

Minaro: Nice. We did it. I'm surprised you were able to do what you did.

Rinka: I just wanted him to stop, so I did that. you don't think he'll bleed out and die right?

Minaro: He'll be fine.

Minaro and Rinka hear someone honking at them. It's Cap Driver, heading towards them in his van.

He stops the car right in front of them and peaks his head out of the window.

Cap Driver: Good job you two, get in so we can get going!

Minaro and Rinka enter the car. Cap driver slams his foot onto the accelerator and the van zooms off.
