Everyone Else Has a System

As I was walking through the forest, killing monsters and testing my fragments' powers and limitations, I soon sensed a strong energy coming from a distance from here.

A smile formed on my face as I finally found her.

The Queen of Envy, the loner of the Netherrealm, was coming towards me slowly and slowly. Her power of mist soon started spreading all around the forest, which made me smile a little as I stretched a little before looking in her direction.

Soon she too came into my vision, walking with all that mist around her as she looked at me with a slightly tired look. Though her expression changed as she spoke,

"Fight me before you talk to me." I smiled as I nodded. I knew she won't allow anyone to do something if the other person wasn't stronger than her. While there was also something related to how she would rather kill herself than do an unreasonable demand, too.

She then let all those mists flow towards me and I too walked towards it as I muttered,

"Rejection Fragment: I reject the ability of…." My heart beat rose as I stopped speaking whatever I was saying. I felt like if I had completed my sentence, I would have died…

'Perhaps that mist is stronger than I believe. Well, it's the most used ability of an S6 grade monster, so I guess there is that as well,' I thought as I sighed before taking back all the energy I had lost trying to use my fragment.

Then… I decided to not use my fragment for a while.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "Daydreaming in between a fight? I wonder if you are a fool or just an idiot,"she spoke as her mist reached all around me and I looked at her with a bit of a smile as I spoke,"I apologise for my misconduct. I was actually experimenting with something. Now, I will get serious with you." I then smiled before piercing my chest with the Deaths of Duality before pouring all the death energy inside my body. Yeah… I was idiot enough to do that in the last timeline too…

"BLOOD SACRIFICE: SECOND MOON!!!" I shouted with my body turning misty… everything around me turned a bit reddish as my own blood started turning into red mist around the area.

With this much dark energy inside me, the surrounding dark energy started shaking heavily as well before mixing with mine. I just smiled evilly before my skin began evaporating little by little. The blood contained the elements of the Rejection fragment, hence they had the ability to cancel any harmful effects towards them.

So… as soon as Envy's mist touched mine… It evaporated immediately into nothingness, making her look at me dumbfoundedly. My power reached S6 immediately from S4. If I hadn't controlled my powers, I could have easily gone S8 or something, but then I wouldn't have been able to come back to normal again.

In other words, I would have died.

Then, I started running towards her, reaching behind her in a flash as I asked,

"Would you like to continue the fight, or we call it even?"

There was a slightly mocking look on my face and she narrowed her eyes at me before jumping away from me as she released more and more mist around her, though with my mist completely surrounding her and absorbing her powers, she was more or less lost.

She retracted all her mist that was left in the atmosphere and concentrated it enough to convert it into a dagger shape, which she took into her hands and began running towards me.

I smiled at her as I use my own blood to make a blood dagger while my Deaths of Duality were still inside my chest.

Using that blood dagger, I started parrying her attacks. It was easy because each time our daggers connected, my blood evaporated her mist dagger, making her force to use more of her mist.

Still, it didn't seem like she had given up as she kept attacking me faster and faster while I kept myself on the defensive as I looked at her, trying her best.

Time passed, and I kept observing her for hours and hours before I saw her going down slowly and slowly, finally beginning to lose her consciousness. She was on her last legs as she stood there observing me.

Then… her eyes closed and her body began to fall to the ground.

However, before it could touch the ground, I appeared right behind her, catching her before taking her into my arms.

I saw her sleeping face, and I then looked at a distance at a massive tree branch where the moonlight was shining a bit brighter than in other places. I undid my second moon and moved towards that place with a slight emotionless face before I lay her on the branch before laying her right beside me with her head on my lap.

I ran my fingers through her hair as I looked at the dark forest all around me. It was quite peaceful and nice around here as I recalled the memories I had made here. It was quite nostalgic to see the same scenery that I had seen in the previous timeline.

"Mmmm"

I hear Envy mumbling something before she began stretching a little as she stood up on her back and yawned a little before looking around with a slightly confused look on her face.

"Hmmm.. how did I get here? My head hurts!! What… Ah!" Looks like she finally recalled what happened as she stood up and started looking around cautiously as I kept smiling as I observed her with both my hands back, sitting comfortably against the branch on which we were.

She soon turned around with a sigh as she wiped her sweat in relief before her eyes turned on me and,

"Kyaa!!!"

I heard her shouting, which made me chuckle a little as I observed her observing me with an awkward smile before she raised her hand slightly and spoke,"Uh… hi?"
