Chapter 1 - Another Beginning

"Eh?"

She whispered in surprise, as the young lady touched her chest. Noticing that there was a wound big enough to fit a child's fist, she widened her eyes.

"Why…?"

She weakly turned her gaze at the woman before her, as she uttered disbelief that could be said shocking. Her friend had actually pierced her with a blade?

Miyuki was strong enough to contend against others in terms of Magic utilization. She was strong in long-range combat, but is weak at close-range combat, rendering her unable to fight back against strong practitioners of sword.

What's most is that the woman before her actually attacked her, with herself comfortable enough to not guard herself against ambush. Miyuki was confident that she could sense any magical attacks that were being activated, however, in terms of sudden ambush like blades, she wasn't prepared.

"Sorry, Miyuki. But I have to do this or… else my son will die. I really am sorry…"

She was Miyuki's friend, Erika. They could be said really close because they were bonded by her big brother, Tatsuya. They have parted ways since they have graduated from the First Magic High School. And, this time was the first time they have met since the last few years.

Although, they have aged for several years, their appearance haven't changed that much. Because, magic had already developed to the point that one can alter their appearance without much hassle.

"Erika… you will regret this- No, everyone will regret that they ever gave you the chance to attack me…"

Miyuki weakly confronted Erika, as blood continuously flowed out of her body. Normally, she would be able to cope against such wounds, however, the blade Erika used was equipped with an Anti-Magic chemical that would render someone unable to use magic for quite a while.

However, such 'quite a while' was plentiful enough to completely kill Miyuki. And, the conspirator behind this knew this fact, and precisely took advantage of this loophole to successfully laid this whole trap.

"I really am sorry, Miyuki…"

Her friend, Erika, cried in shame, as she dragged her body away and didn't dared to look back at Miyuki who was slowly dying. The latter looked at the former's back with a disappointed gaze, and it was the disappointment directed at herself. For being foolish enough, to trust someone whom she haven't met for years.

"I'm sorry, onii-sama…"

She sadly gazed at the blue sky, and weakly dropped to the ground. She tried to halt the blood flow coming out of her body, by patching it up using her teared-up dress, however, it wasn't enough.

Although, she was on the verge of life and death, she was relatively calm and collected. Miyuki just helplessly accepted her fate, as she already got the sort of hint that she would die. Everything fit so perfectly, as if fate was already interfering and helping her enemies in killing her.

"…"

She silently tried to grasp the sky, by extending her hand upwards. Noticing that her consciousness was slowly fading away, tears of despair finally came out of her eyelids. She knew that her big brother knew everything that was happening, and was surely on his way here.

However, even her big brother wouldn't be able to save her now. She knew for a fact that her big brother must've been panicking now. She quietly accepted her fate, as she just weakly tried to fight back against the urge to sleep. She knew that upon sleeping, she won't wake up again. She desperately tried to fight back…

But, it wasn't enough. Miyuki's consciousness completely faded away to the darkness, as her body lifelessly dropped to the ground. Her extended upward hand lost its strength and fell to the ground. The light on her beautiful pure-black eyes vanished into nothingness, as her life came to an end.

Miyuki is dead, that's what Tatsuya realized when he sensed his [Elemental Sight] automatically deactivating without his command. He urged himself to pour more psions into his Flying-Type Magic CAD, as his speed surpassed Mach 1, and produced sound waved during flight.

This was the first time that Tatsuya had felt anxiety, hopelessness, anger, loath, hostility, and sadness. He knew that these emotions were all connected to Miyuki. His last one emotion that kept him alive was his love for his dear sister, and it was something that this world was also holding on.

Unfortunately, it was slowly disappearing from his mind, as he desperately tried to fool himself that Miyuki is still well and alive. He, basically, already knew that Miyuki was already dead because of his ability, [Elemental Sight].

However, he kept fooling himself, and stubbornly rejected the idea of Miyuki dying, as he focused on flying towards the place where his ability last found Miyuki. He felt irritated that his Flying-Type CAD can't fly faster than Mach 1.

Time quickly passed, as more than 30 minutes have passed since Tatsuya last perceived Miyuki's Idea and Eidos from the Information Dimension.

From the above, he finally caught the glimpse of the island where Miyuki traveled together with that bitch Erika. He swiftly changed his course of flight and quickly landed where Miyuki's corpse could be found.

"Miyuki!"

The moment his gaze landed on her figure, his mind went black. Every single thought he was thinking about, vanished into nothingness. The gradual breaking of his last emotion, went up a notch, as it broke faster than ever.

Despair and self-blame was well-written on Tatsuya's face, as he quickly ducked and clutched his dear sister's dead into his embrace. He felt how his sister's face was cold enough to chill him a little bit. Confirming that she was dead, his mind went into a chaotic state.

A certain sound was heard within his mind, as Tatsuya felt something within him getting unlocked. And, what got unlocked was his usage for Material Burst. The Strategic Class Magic that could obliterate any objects by converting the target from mass into energy. It was even rumored to be strong enough to devastate the whole planet into a wasteland.

And now, Tatsuya unhesitatingly used it and aimed it towards this planet's core. His piling up rage and self-blame was now pinned into the planet itself. He knew that, there's no coming back. Once he really used this magic to detonate the whole planet, he and everyone within the world would die.

However, that was what Tatsuya wished for. The chance to die and reunite again with his dear sister. Although, she was already dead, the fact that she was once here remained within his heart.

He held her sister's body using his left hand and used his right hand in aiming at the designated target that he wished to obliterate. He murmured quietly, as his gaze contained a weak flame, threatening to disappear any moment.

"Material Burst, Activate."

Endless amount of psions poured from his body into his innate magic, Decomposition. The Material Burst activated, as his Elemental Sight completely analyzed the whole world's structure in an instant, and decomposed everything into energies totaling 26 Nonillion tons of TNT.

The heavy toll of this magic took effect, as his body bled so much that he almost lose all of his blood. Everything happened in an instant, as the world was engulfed with a blinding ray of light. The whole world decomposed into energy, as it carried enough energy to spark the space and time continuum.

Because of the extreme energy, it actually pierced through the space, as an unexpected companion replaced the whole planet. It was a black hole, gigantic enough to rival the planet Jupiter. It emitted an extreme suction force, as it rapidly devoured everything around it.

Upon looking from an omniscient point of view, you could see an extremely miniscule dot within the space. It was unceasingly flashing with blinding light, and it was actually Tatsuya's body with an empty soul.

His soul was dead because of not containing any emotions that would sustain his sense of self. He was now like a living being, the only hard part is that he doesn't exist at the same time. Tatsuya's innate magic, Regrowth was continuously sucking off his psions, as it unceasingly regenerated Tatsuya's body, preventing him from dying, at least physically speaking.

The black hole gradually produced a suction force directed at Tatsuya's body, as his body slowly hovered towards the humongous black hole. His innate magic, Regrowth, continuously protected Tatsuya's physical vessel from harm, as his body finally entered the black hole.

Shiba Tatsuya became the first man to ever enter the black hole, and maybe come out alive to live the tales. His innate magic, Regrowth, didn't halted its unconscious objective, as Tatsuya vanished into the black hole.

Even at the very end, this godly ability, Regrowth, didn't gave him the chance to fulfill his wish which was reuniting with his dear sister. Wherever his soul was, it would be surely irritated for being not granted by a ticket towards the Hell.

Tatsuya didn't knew that upon the end of life, what lies is a new beginning. A new beginning that would completely tire him to death, and would surely make him complain of all the troubles that would soon bother him.
