Beyond The Worlds: I'll Chase After You

A week had passed, it was enough time for Haruki's or to be exact 'Aizen's' work to be approved and to be publish.

Currently, the boy of the subject, was sitting in front of a school computer. In the legendary gamer position, playing the equivalent of this world's LoL. Controlling a character that is considered to be a cancer pick by the game's community.

"Huehuehhehue, I've finally gotten my last core item for this character. Now time for revenge!" He smiled sinisterly, he camped inside a bush waiting for the enemy's junger to pass by and initiate an ambush.

He waited and waited, all while his teammates chatted, and trash talked him with the following words.

*Fkin troll

*Report

*Useless 1/7/0

*Uninstall the game!

*Mage build on a tank role???

Those words didn't phase the boy as he waited patiently in the bush. After a few moments of waiting the enemy jungler. had finally appeared on his vision, and is in his way towards his precious bush.

The target entered his range, and in an instant, he casted a control skill on the jungler, which normally wouldn't do much damage if it was normal build. But because he had decided to focus on magic DMG build, his enemy had become easy to kill with just a skill and a basic attack. It was a perfect kill, there was no time for the enemy to get away, nor reinforcements to save the enemy jungler.

Since his position has been revealed, Haruki immediately bolted out of there, and stealthy took another spot to camp on. The spot was were most of the junglers would use to get their buffs and other stuff, so it was perfect for another ambush.

This went on for the entire game, Haruki spawn camping the enemy jungler, making it so that he couldn't farm or complete any important objectives that came. To completely making the enemy team lose in the gold gain department.

Meanwhile Haruki's team didn't know whether to apologize or continue to be furious. Thanks to Haruki's antics, they managed to win with a big gap in their farm, turning the whole match into a one-sided beating.

After the game, Haruki logged out of the school computer and left the premises, having been called into the principal's office for a certain misconduct that he has made yesterday.

*Flashback*

Somewhere in a certain part of the school ground where nobody would ever goes to, and where most wannabe delinquents hang out. Haruki, being surrounded by five kids who are nowhere near older than him.

"So I heard that you run these part of school?" A young bleached blonde boy walked up and tried to make his face intimidating to scare Haruki, his brown eyes stared onto the blues. The surrounding kids laughed mockingly, already betting that their boss would win without difficulties.

Haruki's face expressed annoyance, this sorts of situation had already happened for who knows how many times. Whether it was some highschool kids or some wannabe gangsters, he had already grown tired of delinquents picking a fight with him.

And just like all the other predecessors before them who picked a fight with Haruki, they were beatened black and blue, while some ran like their lives were depended on it.

——————————

"It's the third time this month..." A bearded baldman's figure sat in front of the window, the sun reflected on his oiled head, on the contrary, his form was given an overwhelming amount of shadow, that it makes one intimidated by his mere presence alone. His glasses shone even when there was no opportunity for the sun to hit it's glass. His hands clasped over the luxurious wooden table, and he began accurately assessing the young troublemaker from head to toe.

"They started it first." Haruki said dismissingly as he opened a bag of junk food, completely unfazed by the principal's effort of intimidation.

"But even so, as a role model of the other students, ESPECIALLY your juniors. Would it hurt to resolve your problems with words instead of violence?" The principal said, knowing that Haruki's grades and intelligence could already rival the top scorers in the highschool department. He wanted to continue fostering the boy, his potential is already eclipses even that of many known prodigies.

Haruki stopped for a moment, as if realization washed over him, but ultimately

"Naaahh" shrugged it off. A vein on the ever shining forehead appeared on the principal's, "Haruki-kun, you do know that this could very well be affect your grades? And where is your respect!?" He threatened, but to no avail as Haruki already heard the exact same lines multiple times. "Doesn't matter" Haruki said in a dismissive tone, which forced the principal to calm down after a sharp rise in his blood pressure.

"Anyway, can I go now?" The boy asked, already wanting to go home after a long day.

"No." The principal refused. "We are waiting for your guardian, and the beaten upped kids, which I happen notice were your juniors— along with their respective guardians." Haruki, couldn't help but mutter to himself "what a pain in the ass." Low enough to be not heard by the bald man.

Soon, parents and children walked into the principal's office along with the homeroom teacher that was assigned to watch over the lower grade kids. Elly was also present, giving the "what did you do?" Glare, which Haruki gave a simple shrug as a reply.

The meeting started off with everyone introducing themselves, before stirring towards to the serious matter at hand, which Haruki doesn't really find that serious at all. "I was only defending myself, they tried to mess with someone who's clearly older and stronger than them." Said Haruki. "Frankly they deserve it." All the parents turned their gaze on to their kids, who were bruised all over. They were all silent as they couldn't exactly deny what he had said, and the fact that they're still naive and couldn't come up with a good lie. "But even so," one of the parents spoke, the mother of the leader that started it all spoke, "couldn't you had held back? Child you are, as you said, older than them. You should have been more responsible, more gentle and kind to kids younger than you." She finishes before looking at Elly, as if wanting to know whether she raised Haruki that way.

Elly merely dismisses her gaze by rolling her eyes, wordlessly saying "what? You have a problem with how I raised him?" Haruki on the other hand completely ignored what the woman was saying, only giving some sharp glares towards the kids when they are giving him the infamous "young master" look. Which made them remember their place only for it to appear again when some of the mothers tried to scold him.

Elly made sure to defend Haruki, whenever he gets targeted by all the blabbers that came to him. Elly, instead of being disappointed by Haruki's actions, she was quite proud. After all, asserting dominance is and will always be the right and correct way to fight against the laws and people problem in this world. When the discussion got a bit too heated, the principal took the opportunity to interfere and regain his control over the meeting. "Though, I agree with Ms. Shuzaki, that Haruki-kun should have held back," the mother of the blonde kid, now known as Ms. Shuzaki. Smiled, the words the came out of the principal's mouth was exactly what she wanted to hear. "But, a cctv camera nearby witnessed the whole skirmish, and have evidence that the children except for Haruki-kun, have used their quirks on school grounds without permissions." Unfortunately the rest of his words were not what she wanted to hear.

The meeting ended with every kid getting 1 week of suspension, except for Haruki, who only got away with 3 days of suspension.

Another week passed, The manga that 'Aizen' asked to be serialized had already been released to the public under the pen name "Wakeru", and to the company that took in the manga's surprise, and to those companies that turned it down. 'Aizen's' manga became one of the top 100 new read manga in just under a week after being released.

The small hype that it created because of standing out compared to the different mangas of this era, is the new talk of a small otaku community in the internet. The new manga titled "Fate/Zero" by Wakeru, with 15 chapters upon it's serialization and weekly updates, received a few praises from different mangakas because of its creative and bold ideas.

Instead of having a quirk as a base to start a power system, the manga followed the old ways of making a new power system based on ancient stories, folklores and tales.

Instead of a fun Hero manga with a lot of comic relief. Fate/Zero focused more on the dark and complex story that explores themes of morality, sacrifice, and the nature of heroism.

And instead of Heroes fighting villains, it's Heroes fighting amongst themselves to attain a single wish. With people who call themselves "Magus" and chosen people that serves as masters that summons and supports different heroes of different eras in an all out battle royale called, The Holy Grail War.

At the center of the manga, was a man named Kiritsugu Emiya. A mercenary with heroic dreams and ideals, a man that believes in 'The end justifies the means'. A man whose methods are ruthless and controversial, sacrificing the few in order to save the many.

Though the manga did not reach the top 10, it did managed to sit on a respectable spot in the number 30. Which was huge when taking into account the many competitors that ranges from 100-1,000.

Of course, because of the manga being rated with the capital letter 'R' which is not meant for kids who idolized heroes and such.

While this was all happening, Haruki practiced his sword skills to the limit. Every swing of his wooden sword carried his whole weight behind it, though from the outside, everything looked as though Haruki was focused intently on training. But from the inside, he have a whole another thing going on inside his head.

'It's already been a few years, and I still haven't received any new leads to where to find the mastermind behind the murder of our mother and father.' Haruki thought 'The villains that were involved a few years ago had already been arrested, but I doubt that they planned the whole thing, after all it was a targeted attack to my family. Most likely that those villains were hired hitmen, The question right now is who hired them?'

There were only three possibilities at the time before Haruki began his personal investigation, the first being just a freak accident, which were quickly shot down after investigating all the villains and stealing data from the government with the help of [Great Sage]. The second was someone ordering a hit on them, most likely family enemies, but it had already been several years and there was no one that came to finish the job, and his parents don't have any enemies that he remembers making. The third and the most likely scenario, is All For One... Though Haruki doesn't have definite proof or any traces that leads to him, but from that incident, instead of finishing them off quickly with lethal actions, they go out of their way to send out non-lethal attacks first. Almost as if wanting to capture them instead of killing them right away.

Though deep in his thoughts, Haruki didn't fail to notice the sound of a footstep approaching his vicinity. Not because of his keen senses, no, it was because the sound that it came from, was from a tall and huge buffed man with bulging muscles of perfect symmetry all across his body, the definition of a perfect male physique that would put even All Might to shame. His perfect jawline would earn all the girls attention, and is second only to the alpha-est of the males, The Giga Chad.

Of course this man was Nikko, Haruki's twin younger brother, and the wielder of [Sunshine].

"Aunt Elly requested me to come and pick you up for lunch." With prideful tone in his deep voice, he spoke with authority. Even though Nikko is still 9, with his quirk he could already be considered an adult during the day. Hell, even the housewives next door would give casual glances at him before blushing profusely.

"Yeah, I got it, tell her that I'll be right there after I'm done taking a bath." Haruki said as Nikko turned and walked away. Nikko might be too prideful during the day, as long as he truly cares about the people he loves, he can at the very least, cast away a teeny bitty piece of his pride to fulfill some small requests that Haruki and his other family makes.

Nikko, Elly, and Ellen, Their grandmother, have already moved on from the incident. Holding no grudge against those responsible.

Haruki deeply disliked having things taken from him, especially those he loved. If bullied, he would retaliate with five times the force. If anyone he cared about was mocked, he would respond tenfold. And if someone refused to return something or someone to him, he would retaliate a thousandfold.
