My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death

In an unknown place on Earth, two human figures seemingly covered in shadows and strange auras stood beside each other in a large and spacious hall, seemingly made out of dark blue material and with an architecture reminiscing of ancient times. The spacious halls were filled with enormous pillars that supported the ceiling high above everything, as the two shadow figures stood there in silence… up until one decided to speak.

"So you've come… Late as ever…" said the figure at the left.

"Why do you care about punctuality, to begin with? We live for eternity, punctuality has no point in our existence," answered the figure at the right.

"Is that so? I still believe that time is gold, even after putting into account what we are. Perhaps humans have influenced me even more than before" said the figure at the left.

"Humans are what you're made most of, and humans, with their short lives, had always valued time above all else… This is why they wake up early, this is why they work up until late, this is why they constantly work their entire lives… for what? For a little bit of money to live the last days of their lives comfortably, right? Humans are so chaotic that by the time that they had finally reached that point, the money they accumulated would be devalued so much that they will live their last days in poverty… All their efforts will always be pointless, such are humans," said the figure at the right.

"You criticize me for such things, but you are just as influenced by them, are you not?" asked the figure at the left.

"Hmph. Enough babbler. Let us go to the point now," said the figure of the right.

"Oh? Didn't you care about time and punctuation? Now you are hurrying me up, how ironic…" said the figure at the left.

"I will cut off that tongue if you continue your petulancy," said the figure at the left.

"Hm, as rude and angry as ever… Anyways, here are what those lowly humans that you hate so much have gathered for us through the organizations we have settled up," said the figure at the right, glancing to the darkness of the spacious hall before him as a holographic window appeared within the nothingness, showing several pictures and images of a young man that had recently reached his late teens.

The young man had aquamarine eyes, chestnut-colored hair, a small and pointy nose, and a slim complexion, he was wearing a black-colored Japanese High School uniform, such pictures of him were taken while he was leaving the school while being accompanied by a fox-faced young man and a gloomy girl with purple eyes.

"Ah, the trio," said one.

"Oh yes, they had met for only two days, but they already made a good team, are they not?"

"Lucky kid, he should have died, why is he standing here and living happily?"

"He really should have died, the power he was given was something that he clearly does not deserve as a lowly human without any connection with the underworld at all, he was a simple insect a few days ago and now, he's the older of the power to change the world,"

"The turns of fate are always filled with such ridiculousness from time to time. He really does not deserve the power of Gaia at all,"

"Is the wasp amongst the ones going around the neighborhood of this kid?"

"Yes, the wasp is around as well as other more, they cannot contain their bloodthirst though, so they would often take one or two of the cattle walking around for entertainment and nourishment, nothing much that the media covers up easily,"

"Humans are so easy to deceive, it is impressive that we originate from them,"

"So? What are you waiting for? When are we taking the kid away and extracting the power he stole?"

"Soon enough, but for now, we must play our cards right…"

"Oh? Right, those two kids are no ordinary kids…"

"Matsuo from the Monk Clan of Tokyo, and Harumi from the Vampire Family of Tokyo… Those two are not strong enough to be a treat… but the families they belong to are a treat… at least a small one at the very least,"

"Since when has the Monk Clan not been a treat, my foolish brother?"

"Well, if we continue as we go, will there even be a family in the whole of Japan that could stand against us? If it is not part of the Fifth Shoguns, why should we care?"

"Sigh, you're reckless as ever, are you not? But instead of doing anything ourselves, it suits us better to move our pawns within the shadows as we had always done,"

"Indeed. Gaia and the other Celestials are truly imbeciles to even think that this kid taking on the 'source' was a good idea, it was an accident, yet they let him be! Truly foolish entities, can you remind me again why are they ruling this world?"

"There are various reasons why, but yeah, they're quite stupid,"

"Send the wasp and the others, it would be better to do this slowly, one by one. Though I doubt the kid will even stand against any of them, so it should be a quick job,"

"They should be capable of doing it as long as they don't make too much of a mess, they just need to find the perfect spot where he is completely alone… It should not be so hard. Two days had gone by and he seems just as stupid. He might have joined the Monk Clan, but so what? It was only two days, I doubt they even know his full potential, nor they see him as much of a valuable resource anyways,"

"As long as they trap him inside a Magic Domain and hide the kid's presence from Gaia, it should be easy,"

"Why should we even care about her? She is dying, it is the best opportunity we have to do what we please… Goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Sooner or later, we will become the new Gaia,"

"Quite ambitious, are you not? For all the long life you have, you had to be so impatient?"

"Well yes, that is what I like to be, impatient. You're here to be the calmer one in these things…"

"We should consider what to do with the source afterward?"

"Isn't it obvious? We use it and we become what we desire the most,"

The two shadow figures glanced at the pictures of the boy… Frank. Their shadowy figures showed wicked smiles as they savored within their empty eyes the moment they could finally extract out of his soul, the 'source', the power to accomplish their deepest desires, the ones that gave sense to their long lives.

"Foolish kid, you were simply a miscalculation in our plan, although we managed Celestials and Gaia to destabilize the source and send it flying across the heavens to the earth, it was supposed to be our gift, not yours…"

"Hm, he's so normal that it makes me quite angry. Are these the desires of the humans within my own self?"

"It might be that he's innocent face is rather irritating to even me…"

"It really fills us with frustration to see this stupid kid walking around with such power as if nothing… he does not even know how to develop it, yet he thinks it is a mere Ability,"

These entities were the culprits behind the mysterious thunder that hit Frank in the middle of the night, and according to their words, the rightful owners of the 'gift' or 'source', the ability that Frank had awakened after surviving the thunder from the sky.

"It is infuriating, but we shall bear with it for now… For now…"

"Haah… Japan shall change for the sooner or the later…"

"And the entire world as well, we are slowly spreading… Can the underworld, the Fifth Shoguns, or even the Four Empires do anything to us at the end?"

"I doubt it, but we still need many key pieces to accomplish our final goal… The kid is yet only one of them, albeit a very crucial piece… We still require the Philosopher Stone and the World's Soul Core Fragment… But I assure you! The day of Chaos shall befall upon thee world, and everything shall change for the better… or the worst!"

"Oh, you're such a poet, although that didn't rime at all, you actually suck,"

"Hey, give me a break, the only poet within me was rejected twenty times by the girls he wrote them for,"

"Oh, what a loser…"

"Such are humans, but I suppose this is why they are so amusing as well, are they not?"

"Indeed, and they are so amusing to the point of us doing so much for them!"

"Humans will rejoice when the day finally comes. No longer will they be seen as simple cattle, the underworld will swallow the entire world and the entire world will become the underworld! Not more hidden secrets! Chaos, pure and sincere chaos!"

"They will be able to do whatever they want! No more shackles from 'society'!"

"I can't wait, I am trembling, look at my hands,"

"Oh my, you're actually trembling out of excitement, foolish brother…"

"I can't wait, I simply… can't wait!"

The two figures kept their insane chit chat as they glanced with spite and wickedness towards the pictures of Frank… To their goals and minds, he was simply a small nuisance, nothing more than a fly that needed to be taken care of in the great scheme of things.
