END OF BOOK 2 CHAPTER 201 FIRST CHALLENGE

END OF BOOK 2 CHAPTER 201 FIRST CHALLENGE

I was in a wide open space. By wide I meant massive. The floor was black glass and the sky was painted gray. I couldn’t see any clouds, it was like I was in some massive room. No walls to be seen, the sky looked to be miles above me. I looked around, trying to get my bearings as I powered up, channeling chakra into my body.

There were plenty of tricks I could do. I had to remember I couldn’t make as many shadow clones, but I had Kame Mode. If I could catch a break anywhere, I needed to remember to use it to replenish my chakra and strength. I could use my quirk. I had to remember to try to absorb strength. And of course my Berserker Mode. Trying to stay level headed may not be the best strategy.

I turned as I sensed a presence behind me. He was a kid about my height and age. Blonde headed, he had dark blue eyes. About 100 feet away he and I stared at one another. Sizing each other up. I was in my Gantz armor. He appeared to be in a simple shirt and pants. He looked American, but that was my narrow thinking. Everyone looked American. A notification popped up.

I wanted to win this. The Reward was too good. I had been through too much pain to plan on forfeiting. But I was sure he did as well. I couldn’t help it. My curiosity got the better of me.

“Death Note huh?” I asked. “You wouldn’t happen to have the book, would you?”

Daniel smiled at me. Pulling it out of his screen. The Death notebook was as I pictured it. Black with the words ‘Death Note’ written on the cover. “I hadn’t thought they would announce the worlds we beat the canon of. Was hoping to trick you into giving me your last name. But I don’t see the point now.” The kid had a British accent. Slight, but there. He put the notebook back in his screen.

“So fighting to the death then?” I asked. He frowned but nodded. “Fair enough. I’m curious though. Was Pokemon worth going to?”

“It was,” he said. “Probably spent more time there than I should have.”

“Did it follow the canon of the game or the manga?” I asked. There had been a few attempts at manga. All never really took off.

“For me it was...not what I expected. I’ll leave it at that,” he said calmly.

World Choice

Weakness Eliminator

I thought about it for a bit. I was tempted to pick World Choice. That would let me find out where I wanted to start in Comics or Books. But for now I wanted a Weakness Eliminator. I needed to use it on Berserker Mode. I was still missing Aiko, Setsuko, and Jun. Then I could use the other on a devil fruit or a Titan form. I picked Weakness Eliminator.

Rewards:

Weakness Eliminator

Challenger Bonus Slot

I was curious how the hell that worked, would the Weakness Eliminator be in all the worlds? I looked at my status screen but nothing appeared. Another screen popped up.

Congratulations for winning your First Challenge. Please pick a Path

Those Saved

Those Killed

“What the hell is this?” I mumbled, staring at it. I didn’t know anything about a path. I hesitated for a moment. Thinking on what I would rather choose. I ended up with Those Saved. Maybe it led more into the Protagonist Path.

Please choose 1 perk from those you have saved.

Regal Presence

Business Acumen

First Blood

Helpful Hands

Increased Reflexes

Pure Heart

Fiery Passion

Hard Stare

Explosion Quirk

Search Quirk

Water Gun Quirk

I was confused at first but then saw the quirks. Explosion was Bakugo’s, Search was that cat lady’s, and Water Gun was Khota’s. I had saved Bakugo and the cat lady from being kidnapped, as well as Khota from Muscular. It started to make more sense as I moved down. The top was maybe from High School of the Dead. Then MHA. Then Nico Robin’s Devil Fruit from when I saved her from the world government. Then Gantz.

Thinking them over I really wanted Bakugo’s quirk, but I kept being drawn to Search. I could have sworn that All-For-One or somebody used it. It sounded really tempting. The skill also might be exactly what I needed to find my girls in Naruto. I clicked it. Nothing changed.

I waited in the expanse of the gray skyed area. Daniel’s body was brought to my attention as it disappeared. His intestines laying around I felt bad, but he hinted that this was where things had to go. I hoped my next challenge would be with someone I could talk with. Maybe push them to forfeit. I sure as shit didn’t plan on quitting though. I liked it in these worlds too much. I had too much to live for. Too much to fight for.

I planned on going all the way until the end. I wanted my wish. I just hoped by the time I got there I knew what to wish for. As time passed it all faded to black. It wasn’t long until the familiar red glow appeared around me. Showing me the worlds I had yet to beat.
