Souls

They say "time waits for no one" and, usually, they are right. Time never stops for anyone. But, this world, completely changes that statement. There are a few laws that this world completely breaks. One person in particular does.

Ichiro is your average 17 years old third year in high school. Pretty much average in every subject. But these are just irrelevant details. He has a power which no one knows about, a power which controls every inch of this universe. The power to Reset.

March 6'th.

Ichiro woke up in his comfy bed, mumbling about how much he hated waking up at 5 AM for school. 'At least this is the last year', he thought lifelessly. He dressed up, brushed his teeth and started his long trip to school. Thoughts started rushing into his head, not letting him focus on the surroundings. 'I Reset 8 times up until now and each time got worse, both my health, and the reason I had to use the ability.'.

The Reset ability allowed the user(which was Ichiro only) to wipe out everything that happened in a time-line. Suspiciously enough, everytime he did it, the time wasn't reset to 0, where everything about the universe began, but 2 months prior to the present. Everytime he used it, his Soul decayed by a bit. Souls are the essence of every human and their magic abilities. Souls are divided into two pieces. Life Force (the thing that keeps you alive) and Energy (the Soul part that you use for spells). The vast majority of the spells use Energy as their "cost". But there are certain spells, stronger ones, that require Life Force. If your Energy runs out, you need rest, preferably in your Elemental habitat. If your Life Force runs out, you're dead. Life Force affects mental health as well. Now, Ichiro's Reset ability required a lot of Life Force and he didn't know any details about it because he was the only one using it. Whenever he talked about someone else about it, his Energy would instantly run out and he would pass out before saying a word.

Energy also has it's divisions. Spells are of 4 types. Water, Fire, Wind and Earth. There are rumors of Darkness existing, but nobody is sure yet. Water has the ability to heal, use shields and deal damage with various water-made weapons or spells, but it's not the perfect Element to fight with. Fire, on the other hand, is the offensive type. You have a large variety of spells which you can use for fighting. The weak point is that it uses a lot of Energy and has few shielding techniques. Wind is a balanced Element. You have plenty average offensive spells and some other shields and healing spells as well. The issue is that you need to master it really well for it to be efficient. Wind users also tend to be very fast. Earth is the slowest and strongest element when it comes to durability. You can use spells to create impenetrable shields and armor. You can also use Earth Gauntlets to punch your opponents in the fact and probably break their whole cranium. It's weakness is the slowness and the consumption of Energy.

There are some combinations like Ice(Water and Wind), Lighting(Fire and Wind) and some others but their consumption is immense and they're not so effective.

A lot of Dojos were created for people and teens, especially, to learn and master their powers and Ichiro was about to be spending his first day at one.
