2023-09-24 01:44:22"Hey! Wake up!" a huge and terrible voice echoed and deafened Aji's ears.
Aji, who was sleeping, woke up instantly.
"Yes, sir, Remon," said Aji, who had not fully awakened. His eyes were still half open. And when his eyes were wide open. Aji was taken aback. In a panic, he turned his head right to left.
"Where is this?" asked Aji as he looked at his surroundings darkening.
Aji got up. He was still looking around him. There was nothing he could see but darkness. But he can still see himself.
"Where is this?" said Aji, still panicked.
"You're in the boundary realm," the voice that had made Aji wake up, came back and answered Aji's question.
When the voice sounded again, Aji immediately turned his head to his right side. Aji felt, the voice came from that direction. However, as long as his eyes squinted to look that way, Aji saw nothing. All seemed to be swallowed by the thick darkness.
"Who is there?" asked Aji trying to fight his panic and fear.
Observed from his voice, Aji felt that the voice was the voice of a large monster.
WUUSSHHH
The wind suddenly blew quite strongly from the front. The wind was cold.
"I am a part of you. We are bound by an eternal contract to unite when light determines our destiny," the voice came back.
Aji's forehead frowned. He didn't know what those words meant.
"What do you mean? What contract are you referring to?" asked Aji.
DEMMM
The sound like a boulder falling freely into the abyss sounded quite loud. Aji immediately convinced himself that it was not the sound of a big rock falling. It's the sound of footsteps.
"The contract that happened 8026 years ago!" the voice replied again.
Aji, who was frightened by the sound of galloping steps just now, decided to take a step back without turning around. He took steps little by little so as not to make a sound. But just stepping 4 meters, he tripped over something and made him fall backwards.
"What's that?" asked Aji, rubbing his slightly painful buttocks.
Aji took a good look at what tripped himself. Although it was filled with darkness around, Aji could still see.
"What is a tree branch?" thought Aji. But after paying more attention to the details, Aji realized that it was not a tree branch. It is a tail with jet-black scales. Which is the size of a coconut tree.
Aji's soul seemed to be separated from his body when he knew that. Makes it difficult for him to breathe, let alone scream.
Aji's fear has not subsided, from the front, a muzzle is visible. Then the muzzle puffed a breath that felt so cold.
"Where are you going?" this time the owner of the voice revealed his face. And it was a dragon with a height of 10 meters.
Aji could no longer hold back his fear. He was unconscious on the spot. However, it did not last long. Unbeknownst to Aji, he immediately woke up 5 seconds after he was unconscious.
And when Aji woke up, the scene he first saw was not darkness. But the face of the dragon that was only one meter away from his face.
Aji screamed and immediately covered his face in panic.
"Only this time, I encountered such a cowardly successor of the shadow clan. Woi, my face will not be able to surpass the cruelty of the world that you have been experiencing. So stop being a coward and look at me!" exclaimed the dragon.
Aji, who was still shrouded in fear, slowly began to calm down. At first, he peeked at the dragon through the cracks of his fingers. After thinking that he was safe, Aji began to dare to lower his hands.
"W-who are you? What is this place? Why can I be here?"
"Me, Skotd. You are now, on the limit. The boundary between your soul and your mind," replied Skotd.
"The boundary between the soul and the realm of the mind?"
"That's right. It's a place where we interact with each other."
"Then, why can I be here?"
"Because it's time we fulfill our contract agreement. Contract, which will be active when the Light will dim."
Aji didn't understand.
"What light?"
"Goddess of Light. She is the reason we fulfilled this contract. When she is reborn, we too will be born. And the birth of the Goddess of Light always happens when Xyroz is threatened."
Aji thought for a while. He tried to digest all of Skotd's words.
"Does that mean, it has something to do with this Ragnarok?" asked Aji.
"That's right. I'm sure, you've heard a little bit of past stories from the Goddess of Light, right? The story is true. Although, there is some that he hides."
"When she told the story, I felt something strange about the story. She said that I suddenly appeared after she prayed. It sounded strange in my heart. I feel like there's a bit of a lie to the story."
"Then ignore it. You don't have to find out. The most important thing now is our contract. You, will fight for the survival of this planet. And I will help you."
"How to do it? I just can't protect myself. There is no way I can fight, let alone to protect the planet. After all, I would rather have this planet destroyed. “
"Do you think so? In that case, kill the goddess. That way, our contract expires. And I will be free from the shackles that have been chaining my neck," Skotd said without hesitation.
Aji is shocked when Skotd orders him to kill Cecilia.
"Killed Cecilia?" said Aji.
Skotd smiled mockingly when he saw the look on Aji's face.
"Why? For a person as weak as you, it is certainly not difficult to kill that woman. She can die even if you stab him once. Moreover, she can't walk."
Aji was silent for a few seconds and then asked.
"Why kill Cecilia? She was so weak and helpless. Although she is the Goddess of Light. But she couldn't do anything. Without having to kill her, I could refuse to participate in the battle!"
Skotd laughed loudly.
"You're really stupid. If the planet is destroyed, how do you think Cecilia will live? And anyway, you won't be able to refuse anything that girl says. Just like when you jumped off that tree."
Aji was instantly torn apart. He just remembered the incident.
"Now it's up to you. Whatever decision you will make. I'm just going to enjoy it."
A second after Skotd said that, Aji's eyes suddenly became glare. The darkness that was around him was also gone. And at that moment, Aji woke up.

The Bargain
4 Days passed. Aji's health has fully recovered. The same goes for Aira. She has recovered. However, both of her hands have not been able to function again. Of course, Aira's hands were not damaged or injured. Both hands can be said to be healthy. However, her hands have no shadow. That's why Aira's hands didn't work. And because of this, the medical staff who treated Aira, came to Aji two days earlier. They wanted Aji to restore Aira's hands to function again.But when the medics asked Aji, Skotd was weak and could not be questioned. Because only Skotd knew the technique. And most likely, only Skotd can help. So right when Aji was fully recovered, she immediately went to where Aira was."Skotd, please restore both of Aira's hands. She can't compete if both hands aren't working," Aji pleaded through the Boundary room."I just woke up and you're asking for something impossible. Have you lost your mind?" Skotd replied lazily. Hearing that, Aji was a little surprised. But he still thoug
A Tantalizing Offer
Venus stood in front of Aji's recovery room. She wanted to go in but she was hesitant. For some reason she felt that her intention would disturb Aji. "Will it be another time? He and I aren't that close anyway. Why would I visit him?" Venus muttered.With that in mind, Venus was about to leave. But she had not gone far. The door to the recovery room opened. Suddenly Venus turned her head in that direction. She thought it was the doctor on duty. So she wanted to ask the doctor to find out Aji's condition. But Venus was quite surprised because it was not a doctor she found. Instead, it was a woman with a beautiful and gentle face. "Who is she?" muttered Venus.The woman, who was Cecilia, looked at Venus as well. She recognized Venus quite well. Because she had seen Venus in battle several times. "Do you have anything to do with Aji?" asked Cecilia. She became so defensive when she saw Venus. Because Venus would be Aji's opponent in the final round. "Not really. I actually want to vi
A Visit
Aji opened her eyes. Her breathing felt heavy. So was her body. He could not move his body at all. Even moving his fingers was difficult. "Where is this? Why do I feel so weak?" complained Aji. "You're being treated," replied someone whose voice he recognized.Aji looked to his left. And he saw Cecilia sitting there alone."Ceci-stop your trickery! I can no longer lie to you!" Aji snapped at Cecilia. He suspected that Cecilia's figure was Queen Nebula who was changing her form to look like Cecilia. So that she can deceive and do inappropriate things.Cecilia put on a confused face. She did not understand why Aji suddenly snapped at her."What's wrong with you?" asked Cecilia with a confused look on her face. "No need to pretend! I'll say it again! I won't be fooled a second time! My feelings! My love! Only for Cecilia! You can't force me to love you! Your love is just a fake anyway! You just want to make me your puppet!" Aji grumbled again.Cecilia was stunned to hear it all. Her f
Aji Vs Aira (part 4)
Aira was quite panicked. But she quickly calmed herself down so she wouldn't get carried away. Because if that happened, she would be easier to defeat. Aira tried to move her left hand. But her left hand was completely immobilized. "What did he just do?" Aira kept her guard up. She didn't want to miss again. "From above!" Skotd's voice rang out again.Aira looked up. She actually saw Skotd plunge from above. But strangely, the gamma rays she emitted could not capture Skotd's movements. It wasn't until Skotd made a sound that Aira knew Skotd's position. In slow motion. Aira felt that Skotd was trying to play a trick on her. "He really underestimated me! I'll make him disappointed!" Aira determined.Within reach, the two clashed swords. With her great strength, Aira swung her sword hard. "Die!" cried Aira.But when the two swords met, they didn't hit each other. Skotd's sword pierced through Aira's sword instead. With her eyes, Aira could see how Skotd's sword penetrated hers. An
Aji Vs Aira (part 3)
Aji was breathing heavily. The only ability she could rely on was her shadow shield. However, even though he had used one of his defense techniques. Still, Aira could still attack. Because the impact of Aira's attack was much greater than before. Even Aji still had to dodge to reduce the direct impact of Aira's attack."She's really perfect. She has incredible strength and speed. Moreover, she has very troublesome eyes. No matter what she shoots, if those eyes are active it's impossible to miss," Aji thought. "You're right. And with this ability, she excels in one-on-one combat," said Skotd. "Do you have any other ideas?" Aji asked. Skotd frowned. "Why do you always ask me for ideas? Look, my contribution is already huge. You've consumed at least 3 percent of my power. Use that brain of yours to think," Skotd said. "I still can't read. How can I read a situation like this? Besides, you have more experience than me. So help me!" Aji exclaimed.Skotd chuckled in annoyance."You are
Aji Vs Aira (part 2)
Aira continued to shoot at Aji relentlessly. It was as if the bullets Aira fired were endless. Aji, who was struggling, could only hold on and make sure his body wasn't pushed further back. "It's not funny if I lose because of an attack like this!" Aji thought.Aji immediately looked for a way out. He didn't want to be Aira's bullshit. But after Aji thought for a while he couldn't find a way out. Many of the shadow techniques he mastered were ineffective against Aira. "The only way to beat her is with speed. You need to be one level ahead of Aira's bullet speed," Skotd said. "Well, that's easy enough to say but impossible to do! There's no way I can increase my speed in such a short time, right?" retorted Aji."That's true. But there is a way," said Skotd. Aji furrowed her brow. She wondered how to increase her speed in a short period of time."How?""Swapping body parts," Skotd replied. Aji was increasingly unable to understand Skotd's too-brief explanation."Tell me clearly.
