The Last Damning of Remnant (or: How 2 OP idiots screwed the plot)

I sigh, and settle down near the Wellspring, looking at it. "Jonny, I think...That you're right. It is the canon ending, and since this would be the Nightfall Age of Dark...it would indeed be perfect for humanity." He grins, smiling widely "Yeah!" I look at him. "Let's train today, and meet back here tonight?" Before he can respond, I hand him an Umbrus Effigy, a Prismatic bottle, and his Light Sprite. I see him smile as he gets the popups, and checks his grimore, as I do the same with my menu.

{[New items]}

Locket of Gwyn (Revert time to the moment it was closed. It was closed the moment Alexandros received it)

Umbrus Effigy (A twisted root capable of extracting the Dark-Light from within the dark and storing it from a Wellspring) Heals 1/5th HP. Current total uses: 5

Prismatic Bottle (An etched glass bottle, made to store souls of slain beings. Some souls are too volatile to hold within oneself and must be carried with a special vessel such as this. It glints oddly, even when in the Dark) Contents: Empty

I sigh, put my stuff away, and stand up. "I'll go off, hunt for stuff, and train my magic." Jonny stands as he speaks, grinning as he looks at me. "I dare you to explore down the road." I grin and nod as I get up. "I'll go do the same, then! And I accept your dare!"

I walk away, and leave the station, exploring the decrepit streets for hours and hours. The streets are empty aside from old, rusted cans, rubble, and the occasional broken down, rusted-to-hell car. I walk down the street, looking at the abandoned buildings and stores, before I notice I can 'sense' the darkness around me, the negativity lingering in this place...and then I sense an utter void, a complete lack of, well, everything, around 5 feet behind me. I turn around, and gulp as I see a Beowolf there, looking back at me. I feel more 'voids' approaching all around me. "Well...this is bad."

I run right at the Beowolf in front of me, and activate [Dark Hand], gasping at the feeling. Darkness my shadow coils around me, manifesting a clawed hand as I instinctively jump over the Beowolf in front of me as it lunges, grinning at its empty eyes as I make the hand rip into its back. Then I hit the ground hard. I scramble to my feet, and RUN. I use the balls of my feet to push forward, outright sprinting away from the grimm, as I race down the street, towards the Police Station. I don't get too far, before I see more grimm coming for me, and realize it is the same beowolves from before...they had circled around and cut me off. I slam my fist into the Beowolf's face, before using Observe on it.

I snarl at how little damage I do and use my senses to detect how many more there are. There are 10. more. fucking. Beowolves. and Ruby no-diffed these cunts in her Trailer! How are we supposed to compete?! Well, I could try...

"KAIO-KEN!"

PAIN-

{[Semblance; Kaioken: Kaioken is a technique that is multi-faceted in Remnant due to being a semblance. By enraging vital energy and flowing it through the body, the user doubles their physical attributes and gains a 35% output modifier on top of that. This also forces the body to its limits, tearing muscle fiber, burning nerves, and boiling blood. Due to being an Ancient, Alexandros's Kaioken's out modifier is 50%, and it effects all outputs, instead of just physical ones. During Kaioken, Alexandros feels both a clear mind and agony. Costs 100 Aura/s per stage. When kaioken ends, the modifier lingers for the original duration, before the backlash hits the user.}}

"10 SECONDS?! Damn. Well, thanks for the infodump, jerkass, damn!" I snarl, as the fire-like aura roars through my body, each nerve and muscle feeling like they're on fire and laced with molten steel. I uppercut the still-stunned Beowolf. I'm shocked to see its head snap backward and crack, killing it and making it begin to dissolve.

The others look at each other, before charging, and I charge right at them. Each step feels like my bones are being squeezed, and like I'm being shredded apart. Something inside me refuses to give in, and I push through. Must be the 'clear mind' the description mentioned. I kick one of them in the side as it lunges, and I scream as I feel my shin crack. I backhanded another, and in a panic, headbutted the one I'd kicked. I lift the one I backhanded over my head and toss it down. "C'mon! Let's g-" One of them lunges at me from behind, and I barely hear it before ducking and punching it in the stomach, making it blow open. Thank fuck these are level 1 weaklings-

I look at my hand, and despite my aura, it's badly broken.

"FUCK! [Show my HUD], or something?!"

HP- 200/200

SP- 50/200

AP- 100/1,000

"Fuck! FUCK!" I run away again, sprinting as fast as I can, trying to recover as much as I can, before taking a breather as Kaioken runs out. I sense 6 of them coming back again. I turn, and shoulder-check the lead three of them, getting 3 hits in before my SP hits 4, and my arms droop as I stumble backward to take a good look at them.

Beowolf 1: 600/1000

Beowolf 2: 500/1000

Beowolf 3: 700/1000

Beowolf 4: 750/1000

Beowolf 5: 550/1000

Beowolf 6: 850/1000

Beowolf Alpha: 1500/2000

wait what-

I yelp in pain, as it slams into my back, its refined form's claws nearly shattering my aura, and cutting into my unarmored belly.

AP: 01/1,000

"FUCKING OW! CUNT!" I jump back up, and quickly punch out the last 7 normal Beowolves, desperately slamming Into them, and with the lingering modifier of Kaioken, I barely succeed. I notice the Alpha just watching me beat the weaker Beowolves, and I glare.

HP- 402/402

MP- 4/764

AP- 80/764

SP- 64/94

I turn to face the Alpha. "Observe"

{[Alpha Beowolf: the refined fangs and claws of darkness]}

"shit. I'm dead-" I feel a wave of calm over me, for a moment, as I feel my aura repair itself a tiny bit, and my SP recovers.

HP- 200/200

SP- 200/200

AP- 300/1,000

I grin, activating Kaioken again as I rush at it. It grabs me, and I let it. I yell and scream as I wail on it, throwing haymaker after haymaker into its chest and stomach. It bites down hard on my shoulder, but with the armor and its bonus, it barely scratches my aura. After 6 agonizing seconds, it slowly slumps, dying. I collapse beside it, whining as my body is wracked by the agonizing backlash of Kaioken.

{[You have leveled up x6!]}

"...a-at least I got something f-f-from this...fucking ouch..."

I look up, and see a crow sitting on an old streetlight, looking at me.

"caw caw..."

End of Chapter

Each Beowolf gave 30 EXP, and the Alpha gave 300 EXP.

He'll level up in the next chapter
