Chapter 3:

Resolve

Ō No Monogatari|The Tale of a King


"I'd better get stronger, so i'll start off with this!"
Kibishi attempted to complete 40 consecutive push-ups, all he could do was 20 however.
He then moved on to sit-ups, coming to the same conclusion.
Three hours later the sun was dawning, and Kibishi was drenched in sweat.
He had never exercised before, it was still unbelievable he could do this much.

Germany, Berlin
"Hold the door!"- The man exclaimed as the AI shut the door with ease.
However, this technology may be advanced, but not enough to stop
him.
His hair was black, like a never ending abyss, he had the piercing of a cross on his ear
and gloves that matched his dark hair.
He let out a sigh of frustration, but unannounced to them, this man was an ADH.
He let out a fierce punch that took down the door instantly, but this door; made of titanium.
How could such thing be possible.
"The boss already told you guys, you're making this harder."
"Shut up Shinen! You know this is wrong don't you!"
"Huh, no?" He said in a snide tone as he dashed at the man grabbing his head and slamming
him down to the ground. A crater made due to this.

Back To Japan
"So, I need to buy some vegetables, but it seems I don't have any money, damn."
"Guess i'm gonna have to steal, no other choice. I need to get stronger."
The boy was confident, he had made up his mind and he was not letting go now.
This was his Resolve
The boy made an attempt to take the item from its place. What happened next was 
Shocking

Kishibi felt an immense power course through his body, it was too much to handle. The world as it was was shaking, each country, each city.
He feared the unknown, yet longed for it.
In a sudden moment, the surrounding area exploded, falling before his eyes, as ashes.
He fell to the ground and took a look around him, unbelievable. It was all ruined
Not just this store, but all of it, Kamagasaki was reduced to ash.
He only had one, single worry; family. He ran and ran and ran, along the way he saw the lifeless corpses, burnt and destroyed. The corpses of the very people who assaulted him yesterday. He had reached his house, however you could not call that a house anymore, it was a pile of ash. Sitting on top of it. The body of Kishibi's mother.
"No, no, no. It can't be true right, it's just a dream, that's not my mothers body."
His laugh echoed through the fallen city, it was one with a hint of insanity in it.
However, the newly found power is yet a mystery.
