What he realized was something true. 

The weeping boy and this struggling boy... 

from the beginning itself... 

Was him... was his younger self. 

Was Marcus G Orno.

.....

The boy before him cried and cringed back, holding his aching hand on the other. 

Marcus looked at him in shock. It was, after all, his younger self. 

"So this is my hidden memory?..."

He inquired himself. 

"But what's so traumatic about this... I mean I still remember this."

Just as Marcus finished his words, blood splashed on his face, drenching it in warm, red blood. 

HIS BLOOD!. 

Marcus's eyes were wide as he witnessed the Ogretto pulling back its ax from the decapitated boy's body. 

Even though he had seen blood before, even though he had killed literal Gods before, the scene before Marcus almost made him trip over himself. 

Because the one who got killed

    "... I died... I... I died!!" The boy's words were trembling as they met Marcus's ears. Marcus was 5 meters away from the weeping boy, who was convincingly his younger self. Marcus was pretty sure that he could not hear anything, anything at all!! besides the ringing cries of the boy which echoed deep inside his eardrums. Oddly, he was not able to take his eyes off the weeping boy and focus on his inner demon, who seemed to float above him, shouting something at him. But all the connotations and shouts from the Demon did not reach Marcus as it got inundated under the volume from the cries of his younger, whimpering self. He felt that his demon was telling him something very serious. His intuition never lied to him, but as it was now, he couldn't move the way he wanted, instead, he could only keep his eyes straight towards the weepin

    "I'm not afraid of you anymore... Because I have something else I'm scared of." "Just take me to the next one" "Sure thing" ............................................ The demon turned his back towards Marcus as he stepped closer to the very edge of the land inside the abyss. "I hope you realize what you are supposed to do inside this hidden memory of yours, Marcus" The demon spoke as he walked over to the edge. "Yes... I think I do have a rough idea of what I am supposed to do here" Marcus replied, his voice had greatly changed. It was no more the same voice that leaned a bit on the high pitchside. Instead, his voice which he uttered made the demon feel like he was talking to someone mature. Well, it made the demon feel like he was talking to someon

Marcus seemed more interested than the demon as he took the first step into the void less portal.The demon who comprehended Marcus's interest was surprised, just minutes ago, the man before him was crying for petty reasons. Now just after enduring the hidden memories of his first dungeon which was supposedly one of his biggest traumas, he had started acting how an 18-year-old would.The light inside the portal was a bit too blinding,it was a bit too lustrous for Marcus, who had lost his powers for the time being. But he didn't wince, Instead, he stared into the exit point which was, now just a few meters away from him.The demon grinned to himself as he watched Marcus dive

    On the very center of the screen was a familiar 'Play' button.Marcus, without any hesitation, clicked on the button.*Pant* *Pant*It was a movie... It looked like one.What played before Marcus was someone panting heavily while walking through the familiar dungeon of the nine tails. But the viewpoint in which it was exhibited was, oddly,in the first person.The experience, for him, felt like he was dwelling inside the movie.Just like Virtual Reality!!.And with the 8D sound ringing inside his ears, it was ultra realistic.The man, who could be probably Marcus as he thought, was walking through the woods.Suddenly, the bushes beside him started crinkling. Marcus watched as the man on the screen tried to start running.....&nb

I wonder what it would be... but I'm more interested in the perk I was supposed to obtain after clearing this dungeon"Marcus said as he tried clicking on the perk which was shaped as a science lab vial.But it didn't seem to react. It could've been probably because the system obstructed it for the time being or it could've been because he still had to finish the hidden memories and regain his powers back first."I kn

You boost me up and I'll jump and grab one of its tails"Marcus pointed upwards as if accentuating his point."But you only have your right hand freed. Did you forget your left hand which is still chained? How will you even manage to pull yourself up there with just one of your hands?"The demon shrugged.It was a fact. Marcus still had a memory to clear, which meant he still had to break free from the last chain which was refraining him from freedom."Don't worry. I trust in my hand.

I'm coming... By the way, you won't believe what I just got"Marcus said as he jumped from the 15 meter statue. He landed safely on the ground and seemed to grin smugly.But that was then when he realized something.He realized something that he ignorantly let go through his mind.He was oblivious of the fact that he had no powers... Which meant if he landed from that height, then his legs should have at least sprained if not broken.He recollected his memories back to a minute when the Demon called him down. It was as if he knew, Marcus would jump without hesitating. It was as if some part of his plan had worked successfully.

    As Pii fell to the ground he looked at the person who had whispered to him just a second ago.It was without a doubt Marcus, who had the same haughty grin Pii had a moment ago. ..."How did this happen?" Pii asked the air as he fell, his eyes switching from the Marcus on the tree to the Marcus on the ground. "Have I been fooling the clone all along?" Pii asked as he landed safely on the ground. Dust arose as his feet touched the 'slightly grassy but slightly barren land'"Oh poor Pii," another voice whispered behind him. Pii heaved his hand behind him to knock down the being who was whispering, but it was in vain as he found no one. Soon, he started to hear multiple laughs from all around the jungle. Marcus was nowhere to be found. Both of them had disappeared. All Pii was surrounded by now was the jungle and the echoes of Marcus' laugh. "COME OUT MARCUS!" Pii shouted, his body suddenly glowing an eerie but bright red. "You weren't fooling anyone Pii," Marcus' voice said as P

    Marcus began walking towards Pii. Pii turned around completely as he saw Marcus walk towards him, but did nothing else other than glare at the redhead man who was taking slow strides towards him. Marcus now had his hands in his pocket. "Let me see how entertaining the power of a God is"...Just as Marcus spoke, PII vanished from the spot he stood. But this sudden disappearance of his creation did not surprise Marcus.Not even a bit. Marcus grinned as he dodged a thunderous fist that was meant to cave in his face. Dozens of after images of the new demon appeared before Marcus as PII moved at unbelievable speeds, attacking from multiple positions simultaneously. This power that PII demonstrated could've easily taken down 5 legendary seed revokers as easily as someone swapping bugs. But it still wasn't enough to even bruise Marcus, heck! Pii wasn't even close enough to touch Marcus. "Not bad, Not bad for a higher God," Marcus said as he played around with Pii dodging his attacks l

    [Combat level prowess is being calculated] *Ping* [Calculation complete] *Ping*[Combat prowess: Higher God]....."Phewww, I sent him flying huh" Marcus covered his eyes slightly from the sun which was glaring at him. Not like the incredible brightness of the sun was able to do anything to him or his vision. He just wanted to pretend that his eyes hurt. Marcus whistled as he saw PII's inanimate body crashing down. He slowly began smiling as he sensed something. Being the one who created PII and the one who dominates over him, Marcus was able to sense the sudden spike of power gain PII had received.He could feel that his puppet had gained some crazy power up. "It's going to get more fun now, haha" He let out a small chuckle as he stretched his hands. He performed some lunges to stretch out his legs as well. "Pheww, I guess it's time for him to land"Just as Marcus said this, PII's body crashed into the ground. The landing definitely created a crater as a lot of earth and d

[Severe damage has been dealt] [Releasing power seals] [Seal released][Power output level has been increased][Current power at 70 percent]"You also have awakened a system within you, haven't you PII?" Marcus laughed. "A crazy one which gives you insane strength to the amount of damage you receive. This is what your power is" Marcus was speaking as PII's body zoomed toward him and appeared right in front of his face. PII's eyes were still white but his body was in control. His thunderous fist drove straight into his right cheek bone of Marcus and this time, his fist didn't receive any sort of damage, not even a minuscule one. Marcus's face had got swept under the damage of PII's revamped punch, which carried three fourth of his entire power. His head was turned to the right. But he was still smiling. "That hurts better than the previous one" said the monster of a man who turned to look PII in his eyes. "Give me more" were t

    PII scanned the area yet again only to fail. Marcus was nowhere to be found. He was still in his fight when his senses tingled. The air behind him had shifted and now pressed against his back. *BOOM**CRACK*PII even with his fast reflex was not able to dodge the kick that broke his spine and sent him down to the ground, slamming him back first into the ground. The impact of the explosion caused him to plummet rapidly. He groaned and grunted in pain all the way till he hit the ground, his body fluttering, his hands performing vain actions, trying to grab the air around him. There he lay down, his eyes looking at the sky and the small silhouette of the man behind the actions.It was Marcus, who else could it be?Marcus loomed hundreds of feet above PII for a couple of seconds before he went all out kamikaze and began suicide diving toward PII. His face was clouded over as the sun shined vigorously behind him. The sight from PII's perspective would make one think that Marcus was la

"Let's get a hang of your strength"And with a boom, he jumped toward PII and punched him into the sky. "and mine as well" ...... PII flew into the sky, Marcus squatted, his leg muscles worked up as if they were being charged. He stuck there for a second and then let his legs loose. He flew into the sky with tremendous force that the land below him cracked. He went head first into PII's torso and hit his half obsidian half flesh body, breaking the obsidian armor of one and breaking the bones of the other. But PII had countered by the time he was sent more into the stratosphere. He simultaneously lifted his knee and landed his elbow. His knee came first and then his elbow. His elbow found the middle of Marcus's skull and his knee whacked into his steel body. It sent Marcus crashing back into

    "I have to name you, naming you makes you my property," Marcus thought for a second before he smiled, "PII, from now onwards you are PII, as in the mathematical term," A gold light was soon produced within the white space and the birth of the strongest monster. ..."Aight, time for this boring background to change," Marcus said as he snapped his finger. The white nothingness soon skipped and was replaced by green scenery which was somewhat familiar. and it brought back memories.The new scenery was the forest Marcus had cleared in his second dungeon trial. The home of the nine tails.PII was on his knee, his head bowed down as if he was bowing to his king. There was no change to his appearance, but the aura around him had multiplied and it gave off a powerful intent to destroy. "Stand up PII," Marcus decreed. PII listened to his orders and stood up on his legs. He then looked at Marcus waiting for him to say it already as if he had been expecting it from the beginning. "Not go

    "IQ has been increased to 150 and total physical strength and output have been multiplied by 10 thousand folds" Marcus nodded, he was impressed, "I can say without a doubt", he paused, "that you are my strongest creation"....."So we've been merged into one now?", The entity asked in Its calm voice which had the duality of Pyraze and the inner demon. Marcus raised his eyebrows, "Your temper subdued pretty fast and well", he took a step forward, "The points it cost for you seem worth it till now""I don't know why, I want to get angry at you, but I simply cannot, my mind seems so relaxed", it spoke, "You fucker!" it roared the other second. "Haha", Marcus laughed, "Guess only one of you developed the temper restraint, I believe it must be you Pyraze, who got that. I guess the inner demon salvaged his aggression during the merge""So, If I'm right, which I should be, your bodies merged but your thoughts didn't", Marcus took another step forward toward the entity, he was the same heig

    "Huh?", The Inner demon could only blink as Pyraze vanished right in front of him. His sharp eyes caught Pyraze reappearing before Marcus in a flash. But what surprised him more than the demon's speed was Marcus. It all had happened in a second but his eyes had caught Marcus' grin before he caught Pyraze's heavy right hand within his left palm and tore it off and then fix it back. The Inner demon was too slow to react to Pyraze coming flying back to him. "Keughh", the air left Inner demon as both of them got sent back due to the jolt in which Marcus fixed Pyraze's arm back."I can even heal others too, How convenient", Marcus smirked, he skipped the distance between him and the two demons who were still two projectiles being sent back to an endless white void."Hey, I have this great idea. Why don't I put you guys together?", Marcus asked as if the other two were listening. No reply came from both of them, they were stuck in flight, flying at a speed that could break the sound bar
