[Dimensional Dream]
Asahi's breath trembled.
The air around him felt different. Heavier. Tighter.
His vision blurred, his body locked in place by something unseen.
This isn't real. It can't be real.
And yet—
A crack had been torn into the very fabric of the Dimensional Dream.
A slit of absolute nothingness splitting apart the world.
And stepping through it—
With a grin stretched wider than madness itself—
The Black Man had arrived.
A Presence That Shouldn't Exist
FA stumbled back. His voice shook.
FA: (Stunned, whispering) "…How?"
His hands trembled.
There was no way.
This was a dimension that couldn't be reached.
A world that shouldn't exist.
FA clenched his teeth. His breath came out uneven.
His voice broke into a roar.
FA:"HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND US?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!"
The Black Man tilted his head.
His smirk widened—
Like this was just another game.
The Black Man: (Casual) "Huh… I gambled."
His voice was lazy. Unbothered.
Like he had all the time in the world.
He took another step forward.
The crack behind him began to seal.
His only escape—gone.
And yet, his grin only widened.
The Black Man: (Low voice, dark amusement) "I traveled through dimensions… a million, a billion… all of them. Searching. Waiting. Watching."
Asahi felt his stomach drop.
This wasn't coincidence.
This wasn't luck.
This was a hunt.
A chase across infinite realities.
FA exhaled sharply.
His heartbeat—uneven. Erratic.
FA: (Eyes widen) "No… no way…"
There was only one in a billion ways to reach this place.
And yet—
The Black Man: (Smirking) "And then… I saw it."
He lifted his hand.
Pointed directly at Asahi.
The Black Man: (Voice dripping with certainty) "A dimension that could only be entered… by the three of us."
The World Holds Its Breath
Silence.
A suffocating silence.
Even the dream itself seemed to pause.
Asahi's heartbeat roared in his ears.
His fingers curled into a fist.
His nails dug into his skin.
"He… he traveled through millions of dimensions… just to find us? In this short amount of time?"
This wasn't just time travel.
This was something far worse.
FA Realizes the Truth
FA's hands curled. His eyes sharpened.
Then—his voice dropped.
Cold. Certain.
FA: (Low voice) "…I know what you're planning."
Asahi snapped his head toward him.
Asahi: (Confused) "Huh…?"
FA's stance shifted. His body lowered.
Ready for war.
His breath calmed. His movements steady.
He had figured it out.
The Black Man's grin widened.
The Black Man:"Hah… so you finally get it?"
FA exhaled sharply.
His expression was blank.
But his hands… were shaking.
FA: (Steady voice) "You can't kill Asahi."
His words cut through the air like a blade.
The Black Man's smirk twitched.
FA: "So instead, you'll kill me."
The Fight Begins – No Powers, Just Blood
The Black Man moved.
No hesitation.
No words.
Just violence.
He lunged for FA—
But something was wrong.
His speed—
It was slower.
Asahi's eyes widened.
"Huh…? His movements… they're slower?"
Then—
FA caught his fist.
Firm. Unshaken.
A sharp inhale.
Then—
FA took a step forward.
His voice, razor-sharp.
FA:"Got it."
The Black Man's smirk flickered.
For a fraction of a second—
A rare moment of hesitation.
The Black Man: (Frowning) "…Huh?"
FA's grip tightened.
His voice steady. Confident.
FA:"In this dimension… you can't use your powers."
Asahi's breath caught.
His eyes widened.
Then—
A realization crashed into him.
Asahi:"Ahhh… THAT'S IT!"
FA exhaled slowly.
His stance grew stronger.
His confidence rose.
FA:"After all—"
Asahi's voice overlapped with his.
Asahi & FA: (Shouting) "THIS DIMENSION WAS CREATED FOR US!"
A War of Flesh & Bone
The battlefield shook.
The Black Man slid back.
His movements slower. Human.
FA didn't hesitate.
A **right hook—**a perfect counterattack.
The Black Man dodged—barely.
But Asahi was already moving.
A punch—aimed at his chest.
The Black Man caught it.
FA followed up immediately.
A brutal strike—direct to the Black Man's head.
A loud impact.
The Black Man staggered.
His smirk twitched.
The Black Man:"…Not bad."
The Turning Point
Then—something changed.
Asahi and FA attacked together.
One from the left. One from the right.
A flawless duo.
Their fists—closing in.
This was the finishing blow.
But then—
Their punches stopped.
Mid-air.
Frozen.
Their hands—trapped.
The Black Man caught them.
A Hunt That Ends in Madness
A suffocating silence.
The weight of the air crushed them.
The Black Man stood firm.
Then—he laughed.
The Black Man:"COME ON! I WILL COLLECT YOUR FUCKING FAMILY!"
His roar shook the battlefield.
He charged.
Asahi charged.
A final collision.
Fists slammed into flesh.
Bones cracked.
Blood splattered.
Then—
Asahi grabbed his head.
His fingers dug deep.
The black jelly-like armor covering the Black Man's face began to tear.
It stretched. Cracked.
A shadow beneath.
A human face.
The Unmasking – The End of the Hunt
Asahi froze.
FA's breath caught.
Then—
FA clutched his skull.
A sharp, unbearable pain shot through him.
His body convulsed.
Memories exploded.
FA gasped.
FA: (Through clenched teeth, whispering.) "I… I REMEMBERED IT."
Who is the Black Man?
Who was hunted?
Who was cursed?
The answer was finally here.
