Chapter 7:
I Keep Dying, But Life Won’t Let Me Quit.
Haruto really wanted to learn how to control avarice so, He went hiking. After a long hike, he stumbled upon a big mountain lake. "Woah.. It's so.. Beautiful.." Haruto was amazed. He then set up camp. "I'll stay for 8 days, i guess." Haruto fell asleep. The next day, he got up and started training early in the morning. Every single swing held power. He then slowly let avarice take over his body. His swings were getting stronger. Each time avarice tried to kill him, Haruto denied and with sheer will, kicked it out each time it tried to. "Yes! I'm getting the hang of it!" Haruto was proud of himself. After a few days, Haruto got closer to controlling it. Every single day was 1 step closer to controlling it. While Haruto was training on the 6th day, He accidentally gave it too much control. He swung, spitting the mountain in half. "That's the biggest achievement in my life now!" He was proud of himself. "Woohoo!" Haruto went into the woods, deciding it was good to use the trees for practice. As he went deeper into the woods, he found another camp. "Woah.. Other's are here too?" Haruto peeks inside the tent, seeing a girl playing with a magical creature. "Hello..?" Haruto asks. The girl was surprised. "Who the hell are you?! And were you the one who split the mountain?!" The girl screamed. "Uhm.. Yeah..?" Haruto answered her question. "You disrupted the peace here. You don't deserve to live anymore." Haruto was confused. "Huh?" Haruto asked confused. He looked at her spawning 10 magical wolfs. "Go, doggies." The 10 wolf's lunged at Haruto. "Think.. THINK DAMN IT!" He said to himself. Time froze and Haruto was teleported to another dimension with the God of Avarice. "What the.." Haruto was confused. "You have insane sheer will.. My son." "Stop calling me that and what do you want?!" "I grant you permission to use 200 percent of my power once." "WOOHOO! I'M SAVED!" Haruto ran around cheering. "Use it to win." He was slowly teleported back and time unfroze. "You're done for." He pointed up. "Destroy. A yellow beam with rings around it struck all the wolf's, killing them. "HOW?!" The girl was scared. "YOU... HOW?!" "I'm simply just better, that's all." The girl started shaking. "Don't worry, i won't kill you." "Huh..? Why..?" The girl asked, she was very confused on why he would spare her after she tried to kill him. "I'm a hero, not a villain." The girl fell down. "I.. I can't believe you! But i... I sense no malicious intent from you..." Haruto gave her his hand. "What's your name?" "My name is Aurora Frostbourne And yours..?" "I'm Haruto Shimizu. Nice to meet you!" "Nice to meet you too.." She took his hand and stood up. Aurora was a magical creature user, meaning she could summon which ever magical creature she wanted based on if she unlocked them. She was pretty young and short. Only being 13. Her hair was black, and she had styled it in a messy, shoulder-length cut. Her eyes are also captivating amethyst purple, large and almond shaped. "How about we move our camp near each other?" Haruto suggested. "That's a nice idea.. "Alright!" The next 2 days went by pretty quick. "Aurora, i have to go." Haruto said sadly. "Oh... Can i come with you too? The trip down is really scary.." Aurora said. "Alright." The two finished taking their stuff and started going down. "Careful!" Haruto grabs her hand before she can fall. "You almost died!" "Ah.. I'm sorry.." "It's fine, just watch out." The hiking trail was not very wide and was covered by slippery rocks. "Grab my hand." Haruto said to Aurora. "O-Okay!" "Concentrate!" The two finally reached a wider part. Haruto let go of her hand. "It's not bad now." "Yeah you're right.." After a while, the two finally finish. "Oh that was so scary.." "Yeah.." "So hey, Do you wanna join me and this girl's team?" Haruto asked Aurora. "Uhm.. sure i guess." "Hooray!" Haruto celebrated. "What do you guys do in the team?" "Nothing much, just exploring." That piqued Auroras curiosity. They both then walked to Vanessas house. Haruto knocked on her door. "Vanessa! It's me!" Vanessa opened the door. "Hi Haruto! Who's the girl?" Vanessa smiled. "That's Aurora Frostbourne! I met her in the mountain lake i told you!" "Ah! Nice to meet you Aurora!" And this is Vanessa Kurotsuki!" Aurora smiled. "Nice to meet you Vanessa!" They both smiled. A few months later, The 3 were getting chased by the religion that worshiped the God of Avarice, The Maw. "WE'RE DONE FOR!" "RUNNNNNNNN!" "HELP US!" It was quite a funny sight to behold, though for the 3, it wasn't. Haruto let's avarice take control. "Lightning!" A lightning strike kills half of the people chasing them, as well as creating a crater. "Since when could you use that skill?!" Aurora was impressed. "Don't worry about it! Go to the mansion! I'll fight them off!" "Alright!" The 2 said together. In the last few months, Haruto had forced Avarice to accept him as it's owner. "Now we can fight!" Haruto smirked. Haruto had also learned how to use Avarices special weapon, The Executioner. He summoned a pitch black sword in his right hand which was insanely sharp. I am Haruto Shimizu, i believe you've already heard of me, Am i right?" The Mawists all nodded. "Get ready!" Haruto lunged at them, splitting them in half with each strike. A Yellow particle absorbs everything, releasing it all back out. While it may have hurt Haruto and have destroyed everything in its way, it killed all The Mawists. "Too weak." Haruto then ran to his mansion. He entered. "Hello Haruto!" The maid greeted him. "Hello Kyoka. Are the others here as well?" "You mean Vanessa and Aurora? They're not here." "Huh..?" Haruto ran out, he was very scared. He ran, until he found a knight holding them. It looked like they were both dead. "Hey!" The knight looked at him through his armor. "Yes? Are these girls with you?" The knight asked. He was surprisingly very kind. "I saved them from some Mawists." "Oh, thanks for that!" "That's my job anyways." "That's true. So hey, What's your name?" "My name is Kaelen Vane, and yours?" The knight asked. "My name is Haruto Shimizu!" The 2 Girls then wake up. "Ah! Who on earth are you and why're you carrying us?!" The two girls say together, blushing. "I am Kaelen Vane, A Knight. Nice to meet you two." "I'm Vanessa Kurotsuki and this is Aurora Frostbourne.." "You both have wonderful names!" "Should we go inside my mansion? It's not that far from here. "Sure!" They all say in unison. "So hey, Kaelen, Would you like to join our team?" Haruto asks. "Sure. What do you guys do anyways?" "We don't do a lot, we mostly only explore." "That's fine by me then! I agree on joining your team!" "Hooray!" They all celebrate.
