ya'll know me 

still same big joe

with no living foes 

and none of these bitches around me 

can come even close 

to the strength 

of my big toe

cause I'm the real and baddest hunter 

the rest are for show

man I'm coming on top

that high school kid's gonna drop

this time I ain't gonna flop 

you no big Joe's got the job 

usually I'm here 

just for the thrill 

but I can't ignore 

'two hundred mill'

there is no way I can chill 

or have time 

to get a meal 

all you fools 

don't get ahead 

of yourselves 

you should instead 

go back and 

lay in your beds

cause this kid's 

already dead

It doesn't matter 

where he fled 

I'll catch him 

and paint him red

I'm the best man Genji's got

all of you 

can just go rot

I've beaten 

all those I fought 

my only rival's a robot 

***

I'm not a robot 

I'm a cyborg 

isn't it obvious 

or should I hang up a signboard 

I've got the brains and smarts 

that my body's built for 

if you try to mess with me 

then I'm getting you floored

I've got a lot hunting tools 

that you can't get 

I'm gonna win two hundred mills

so I can't let 

these mudafukaz lay their hands 

on my target 

I'll take out those in my way 

on that you can bet

I've taken tons of missions 

and completed them all 

so watch yourself thunder kid

cause you're really gonna fall 

you left a maze trail 

but that won't work at all 

cause I've got these eyes 

and they can see through walls

my gadgets and skills 

are quite exclusive 

kid, your running style 

is hardly elusive 

they say my fighting style 

is quite abusive 

cause I don't need no honor 

or sense of duty 

I'll win this race 

because I'm a fighter 

in technology's face 

I am the piper 

there's no algorithm 

that I can't decipher 

I'm not just a cypher 

I am the Cypher 

***

Who needs strength and gadgets 

when you've got all the swagger 

I've got the speed and skills 

like a slick Nobunaga

they're here for money and kills

but I'm here for the latter 

I'm just here to have fun 

you can call me double dagger 

compared to my skills 

you all are quite shallow 

cause within my presence 

is where death hallows 

I'm bout to beat a kid 

and torture him till he's gallowed 

and all I've got to do 

is chase the white shadow

*****

I know that I fucked up

but that's not the problem 

these guys are too slow 

I can easily get away from them

I know on it's weighing on you readers 

like how did this start 

so let me explain to you 

how I got on this path 

at first I was born 

later there was a storm

of people trying to kill me 

all as if they had sworn

they chased me day and night 

under the moon and the sun 

it made me feel as if 

the world looked at me with scorn

then I found out in a book 

which only spoke of a dude

whose purpose in life 

was to kill me for good 

his name is Genji 

though I only know half the reason 

but this bitch ass keeps chasing me

all days and all seasons 

and then there is Shin 

a guy I've never seen 

they mistake me for him 

so much it's kind of obscene 

I know he's my ancestor

and I came from his seed

but why am I paying 

for all the things that he did 

and there is Dave 

who's kind of useless in life 

he's my amnesiac dad

who abandoned his wife 

who doesn't want to recall 

until the time that is due 

so all I have from him

are genes an some clues 

and then the armoured man 

who the first time we met 

beat me to a pulp 

and allowed meet death 

we'll surely meet again 

on that you can bet 

and just thinking of it 

makes me choke on my breath

so back to the present 

I'm quite drained feeling 

a little uncomfortable 

from all of that fleeing 

but what's this fear that I sense 

what is this that I'm feeling 

and where would Yang be going 

every time that I need him 

  "I'm right here" Yang said, as he slithered out of Shiro's shadow. 

 "so what do you want " he asked

 "I need a smoke screen" Shiro replied 

 "Is it that serious?"

 "yeah, about five people sensing my energy"

 "I need power for that that"

 "about how much?"

 "hyaku man (1,000,000) volts "

  Shiro shrugged a little then said "okay " as he held his brother's hand and began passing power to him. It took a few seconds and afterwards Yang was fully charged, glowing as if he was about to explode. then he smiled and took a few steps away from Shiro, and at the top of his voice he yelled

 "OVERSHADOW !!!"

    As soon as Yang yelled "OVERSHADOW ", every inorganic material in the entire island turned pure white. clothes, shoes, walls, even screens, there was a total white-out and everyone saw it. Ranging from those who were out in the open to those who were enjoying the privacy of a public toilet, everyone had a momentary white-out. Shiro's presence and energy could be sensed throughout the island, it was as if he was everywhere at the same time. The hunters that surrounded the school were throw into daze because even after everything regained their normal colour Shiro's presence remained, they felt as if he was standing right in front of them and at the same time as if he was far away. Not just the hunters, the students, the teachers, even those that were taking walks at the edge of the island, felt the presence. when it finally stopped, Shiro was nowhere to be found, his presence was completely gone, not even the most proficient sensors could locate him. it was as if he had vanished not ju

    The individual barriers that protected the students were beyond every expectation, not even big Joe, the acclaimed strongest man in the world could break through it. For a few minutes it was just an awkward moment of hunters tackling impenetrable barriers while the students inside just had to keep their hopes up, it continued that way until Cypher found the energy source of the barrier and big Joe sprang into action. Meanwhile at Shiro's house, Mia had opened the door to see a lot of unwelcoming faces. For her it was quite obvious what they were after but it was the first time that they arrived in such a large group, they were about fifty in total and they all seemed to be well trained. "he's not around " she said, as she did her best to remain calm. Normally in situations like this, the men would try to force their way in and confirm if what she said was true, and then she would end up whooping all their asses, but the condition of this encounter was not the usual. First, the m

    the nature of Kojiro's ability was was quite simple. he had the ability to create highly impenetrable barriers in front of and around anything, but this great power had a huge flaw that many people knew. the barriers were so powerful that nothing except breathable air could pass through them, not even the transmission waves of magical energy, and it was worked from both inside and outside. so if Kojiro were to cover himself in the barrier, he would gain the ultimate protection but he would be unable to cover others, and if he covered others, he would be unable to cover himself. in this situation he chose the latter and put the safety of the school first. "so you're the barrier expert." Joe said as he walked towards Kojiro who slowly backed away and began to run. Joe was very built and strong with high endurance, but Kojiro was a lot faster with home ground advantage and he was quite dexterous. with just hand-to-hand combat,he was able to knock out a few hunters in the way while run

    Rin and Cypher remained in their initial positions, both pointing their weapons at each other. Rin had a Shin Sekai laser gun, which was known to be powerful. It had the looks of a revolver pistol but it was surely way faster and more powerful. on the other hand, Cypher had right his index finger. it didn't seem powerful at first, but as both of them fired and evaded, it proved to be much more effective than Rin's pistol. With just his index finger, Cypher was capable of mass destruction and rapid fire. Rin wasn't even getting a little chance for a return fire. all she could do was run, evade and frequently use energy shields to block the incoming shots. "This is going to be quite easy" Cypher thought as he added his left Index finger to the equation. but this thought was quickly overturned when Rin pulled out a laser cannon from what seemed to be nowhere. Cypher was hit by two things; a strong laser beam, and great deal of shock. he could block the beam but the shock hi

    The battles in both Shiro's house and school were settled. but let's not forget that some hunters were sent to his favourite restaurant (Tanaka's). In the words of Yamato who was there, "not really much happened". but when someone says such a thing while scratching his head and looking away from the questionnaire, it becomes evident that a whole lot went down. It was a rare sunny day unlike the other days that Fubuki island lived up to its name(Fubuki means snow storm). On days like this, a lot of people loved be outdoors, it also meant that a lot of people ate outdoors on days like this, and restaurants gained a lot more customers than usual. Tanaka's restaurant always took advantage of this and so did Yamato. He was was skipping school to run a whole day shift. the apparent reason was because other employees also wanted to get a feel of the rare warmth that came with the day, but the real reason was because of money. If he could could cover for his colleagues he would get th

  • SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD   The postponed battle

    While all the battles took place, Shiro was lying on a park bench staring at the eternal tower in front of him. it was called eternal because no one could really tell how old it was. even scientifically it was seen as something that was just recently built, but in reality it was present even before the island's discovery. it was even stated in the old tales of Nihon. no one knew the history of this tower and Shiro wondered "am I so bored that I'm thinking of this right now?" After that question, it didn't take long for his boredom came to an end. His situation got a transition from bored to endangered really quickly with the arrival of an unexpected person. Shiro didn't think, he didn't even stop to quiver in fear or come up with a plan. He immediately turned his back and ran. He just wasn't ready to die twice. from the perspective of normal people, the wind blew briefly, but from Shiro's point of view, it was a chase that lasted about twenty minutes in relative time and yet

    In accordance to Victor's predictions, Shiro began to experience his opponent grow in strength. In a comparison of actual strength and energy levels, Shiro would have no problem defeating the armored man but the circumstances surrounding the postponement spell makes it difficult. It was as if the universe itself would do anything to keep the man alive until his fated battle began. It didn't matter how weak he was everyone that wasn't his opponent would be made weaker. As the exchange of blows continued, so did Endo's growth in Strength. Shiro was still landing solid blows but he kept getting back up like a "shonen MC" while Shiro kept his usual pace. soon enough, Endo's counter attacks began but Shiro was yet to be in danger. He stepped up pace, becoming more agile and delivering a double counter. "you're not the only one that can move abnormally" he said with a smile "now come at me you age old anomaly" Shiro had little hesitation in his movements, instead he

    "Why noww?, why now?" for some reason, Tanaka's car seemed to be facing some major technical difficulties. She had turned the key multiple times but the engine wouldn't even cough. "Why aren't you using a Shin Sekai brand?" Yamato asked out of curiosity. Tanaka's restaurant was quite successful and it didn't didn't seem like she was financially lacking. Also, Shin Sekai products were very affordable and much more efficient than others. The reason she chose to distance herself from them was not something one could easily guess. "It's a long story" she answered as she opened the bonnet and started looking for what was wrong with the car. It didn't take long before Tanaka started panicking. "Oh no no no no no no" "what's it?" Yamato asked "It's fried" she answered "what's fried?" Yamato asked "everything....everything's fried" she replied in panic it didn't take Yamato long to guess that the cause of the breakdown wasn't just due to poor quality "this was a sab

Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours.

  • Still standing

    Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t

  • The bird and the beast

    From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h

    "This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ

  • Silver blade

    Chris Vanadium. The only reason he didn't make it to the finals as much as Cal was that he faced Waramaki in most of the semifinals. He is one of the few people that have been able to beat Cal in the previous tournaments. He is also a one time champion and the one he beat to earn that title was none other than Fuji Waramaki. There were many reasons to fear him, but most feared attribute of his was the speed of his blade. Yes, he fights with a sword and he is really good with it; so good that a large percentage of his matches end in less than a minute. Anyone that saw his previous match was immediately reminded of how dangerous he was, even some that had faith in Orie in the previous match lost it for this one. To sum things up on how dangerous he was, the chance of him making it to the final match of the current tournament was ninety-nine percent. Though Orie's match was the first of round one, in round two, his match was the third. Not many had high hopes for this match beca

  • The doubt of many

    There was complete silence in all parts of the stadium. It wasn't that people had nothing to say but what could they say that could explain what just happened before their eyes? They just watched as the referee ran in to confirm the outcome. It took longer than usual as the referee also had his doubts but in the end he had no choice but to declare Cal unable to continue. The silence broke immediately he stood up to declare Orie the winner. The doubt of many began to flow out in words. "IT'S A LIE!!" "THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" "THIS GAME IS RIGGED!!" There was no word of doubt that was not spoken at that moment. Even when the medics came out to put Cal on a stretcher, people still thought it was an act. What could Orie do? He had just won a match and no one believed it. There was hardly anyone cheering for him, all the loud voices expressed nothing but doubt, hate, and disbelief. Despite all the hate he was getting, he just cracked a smile and walked out of the arena

  • Fight like me

    You never truly appreciate a miracle unless you heard of it before it happened. That moment when the thing you thought was just too impossible begins to unfold before you for the very first time. There is no look more precious than that of one who has had such experience. Miracles happen only once. After that, it becomes a possibility. Cal and Orie were initially rated on a seven to one ratio. This meant that the officials of this tournament believed that Cal was at least seven times more powe6r than Orie and seven times more likely to win. At the current time the ratio had become ten to one. It seemed hopeless for the few that had put their faith in Orie. The match wasn't over but the situation made them feel the winner was already decided. "What is he doing in there?" "Does he have a death wish?" "Just give up already!!"even some of those that were on his opponent's side felt pity for him but Orie was not one to dwell on pity. He could not hear their words, al
