Chapter 2 - The second beginning

With the war beginning, Asanago Mortel fully awakens the power he created for himself:

The Reaper Form.

He is not a grim reaper—but a Reaper, a warrior who moves like death itself on the battlefield.

When the ability activates:

His skin becomes completely black.

His clothes and hair turn black as well.

His eyes turn fully white, glowing against the darkness of his body.

The transformation makes him look like a living The Descent From the Mountain

Asanago Mortel stands at the top of an enormous mountain.

The mountain is so massive that it spreads across land as large as five cities combined.

Without hesitation, he jumps.

He falls from the mountain at incredible speed and crashes down into the streets below, shaking the ground and blocking the road with the impact.

Soldiers nearby panic and open The First Demonstration of His Power

A bullet is fired at him.

But Asanago Mortel reacts instantly.

He deflects the attack and raises his hand. Instead of holding a weapon, he forms his fingers like someone aiming a gun.

Then something impossible happens.

His hand fires a bullet.

This is part of his special ability:

He doesn't need a gun.

His body itself becomes the weapon.

With just his fingers shaped like a gun, he can fire bullets made from his own power.

Even more tHis ammunition is infinite.

The Power of the Reaper

When Asanago Mortel fires one shot:

The bullet travels with overwhelming force.

It destroys three houses instantly.

A massive explosion tears through the street.

The energy is so powerful that the bullet itself disintegrates after the impact.

For the soldiers watching, it becomes clear immediately:

This is not an ordinary The destruction caused by Asanago Mortel alarms the rulers of the empire.

The majesty of the country—the government controlling the army—immediately gives a desperate order:

"Fire the cannons."

But these are not ordinary weapons.

They are ancient war cannons, weapons that the empire has been saving for nine years. Only seventy of them exist, and each one is powerful enough to destroy an entire mountain.

The soldiers hesitate for a moment… but the order is clear.

All cannons aim at Asanago MThe Cannons Fire

The ground shakes as the cannons unleash their attack.

Massive cannon shells roar through the sky, heading straight toward Asanago Mortel.

But this time, he doesn't dodge.

He doesn't run.

He stands completely still.

The Reaper's Defense

Instead of firing back, Asanago Mortel raises hisingle bullet forms first—

but it is far stronger than the ones he used before.

Then something incredible happens.

From that one bullet, thousands of bullets begin to appear, spreading out around him.

They arrange themselves in the air like a massive shield, forming a barrier around his body.

The bullets remain floating, rThe Impact

The cannons strike.

A massive fiery explosion engulfs the entire area.

Buildings shake.

Smoke and fire cover the battlefield.

For several seconds, no one can see anything.

The soldiers believe the attack must have worked.

But when the smoke finally There stands Asanago Mortel.

Completely still.

His Reaper Form unchanged.

Not a single scratch on his body.

The barrier of bullets slowly fades away.

And in that silent moment, the solAfter surviving the cannon attack, Asanago Mortel stands in the middle of the battlefield while soldiers stare at him in fear.

He raises his voice and announces to everyone around him:

"Doors, walls, and defenses are useless for my body. They are insignificant."

His words echo across the ruined streets.

Then he declares something even more terrifying—that anyone who tries to oppose him will become completely insignificant before his poMoving Like a Shadow

Suddenly, Asanago Mortel disappears.

He begins moving across the city building to building, faster than anyone can follow. To the soldiers, it almost looks like teleportation.

In just one second, he crosses entire blocks.

Within thirty seconds, he has already traveled half the distance toward the empire's central kingdom.

The empire realizes what is happening and desperately prepares another defense to protect the capThe Reaper's Shot

Asanago Mortel raises his hand again, forming the shape of a gun with his fingers.

He calmly says one word:

"Enough."

He fires.

This time the bullet is nothing like the others.

When it strikes, the energy exoutward with catastrophic force—

an explosion so powerful it wipes out the entire city in an instant.

The blast spreads across the empire's capital, destroying buildings and armies.

After the destruction, almost nothing remains.

Only the distant mountain ranges still stand.

The empire's strongest defender—the strongest man on Earth—was not there, because he was fighting a different war in another couSometime later, Asanago Mortel arrives in another land.

Before him stands an even greater mountain.

This mountain is enormous—large enough to cover the area of nine cities combined.

Without hesitation, Asanago Mortel leaps upward and lands on the mountain.

From its peak, he looks across the land.

Below him, another war is already raging in this country as At the same time, in another part of the battlefield, the strongest man on Earth is already fighting.

He stands alone against thousands of soldiers.

In his hands is a massive war hammer. When he swings it, the weapon releases a powerful energy beam, blasting through enemy forces and destroying entire battle lines. Explosions echo across the battlefield as soldiers are thrown back by the impact.

Emergency alarms begin sounding across the war zones. The conflict is spreading rapidly between countries, and more armies keep arriviThe Reaper Observes

High on the enormous mountain, Asanago Mortel watches everything.

Soldiers from another nation begin climbing the mountain, trying to attack the country below. They are so focused on the war that they do not even notice him standing there.

But Asanago Mortel notices them.

His expression becomes cold and dangerous.

He slowly raises his hand again, forming the shape of aAnother Reaper Shot

This time, the energy he fires is far more destructive—almost like a rocket launcher made from his power.

The blast tears across the battlefield and creates a massive explosion powerful enough to wipe out an entire large town-sized area.

Soldiers are completely overwhelmed by the force of the attack.

The mountain shakes as the explosion spreads.

Entering the City

After the attack, Asanago Mortel leaps down from the mountain and lands near the city where the war is raging.

His arrival alone creates another pshockwave-like explosion, devastating the surrounding battlefield and leaving destruction across the area.

Through the smoke and chaos, he sees something important.

The Strongest Man on Earth

In the distance, the strongest man on Earth continues fighting.

More soldiers are arriving from the mountains and firing heavy cannons toward him.

But the warrior stands firm.

With his war hammer, he swings again and releases another beam of energy, blasting the incoming cannons and soldiers apart.owerful gun.ng.well.ntry.plodesital.wer.diersclears…eady.s hand.ortel.warrior.errifying:fire.shadow.
