Episode 2: Spicy

“May we know your name, Sir Savior?” Asked a young noble girl towards a young man wearing a white shirt, dark green pants and a cowboy hat.

“Hm? My name is Owen Sparks.” He said as he stuffed himself with more food.

'He’s very gluttonous…' She thought as she stared at her savior that devoured an entire family worth of food in a matter of minute.

"May I ask what is your adventurer’s rank?” The noble girl asked.

“Adventurer’s rank?” Owen repeated what she said.

“Yes, are you an S-rank? Because only S-ranker are the one capable of defeating a dragon all alone and seeing at how easy you did it, you might even be an SS-rank adventurer.” She said.

“I’m not an adventurer.” Owen asked.

“Huh?” The noble girl was stunned.

“Alright, thanks for the meal.” Owen said as he ran away from the mansion.

“Wait—ah, he already disappeared.” The girl muttered to herself.

***

I am the fastest man alive, Nihon Kayuki.

Nobody can surpass me in speed when I still have my ability.

Outpace.

The ability to always be faster than your opponent.

That explanation was the truth, at least until that boy appeared.

When I was just calmly walking around, confident with my unparalleled ability to dodge I have my guard down, that was until I was bumped by that boy.

In 4 decades of me living, nobody could ever physically touch me outside of my will, that boy just did something I had always thought to be impossible.

Owen sensed a killing intent as he positioned his left hand to receive a slash.

The blade upon coming in contact with Owen’s skin, shattered.

“Even destroying my blade, you’re something else huh, kid?” Nihon was behind Owen about to unsheathed his second sword.

Plucking one of his strands of hair Owen mimicked Nihon’s fighting stance.

Slash That Move In Zero Time!

Slash That Move In Negative Time!

Just as Nihon’s sword come in contact with Owen’s face, it shattered once again.

'It broke again, but as expected nobody could just copy my technique from a glance—‘ Suddenly a surge of memories entered his brain.

“No way…” Nihon’s voice was shaking.

He ripped apart his clothes and revealed multiple scars.

“You… you… attacked my past self…? How could that be possible?” Nihon’s face turned pale.

“If you slash fast enough to the point you slash in zero time, that means if I go faster then I can slash in negative time aka going to the past.” Explained Owen before yawning.

Seeing an opportunity, Nihon threw a high dosage of fire poison into Owen’s mouth.

“Hahaha! Die you monster! Burn away from my sight!” He was fully expecting Owen to just burst into flame and disappear.

“Spicy!” Owen’s face contorted.

‘Spicy…? Only spicy…? When I only taste 0.002% concentration of this poison I was left half-dead… crazy… this kid is too strong!’ Fear seeped into Nihon’s heart before he ran away.

“Weird guy…” Owen muttered as he noticed a mighty black dragon on the sky.

“Cool, should I go to a mountain for camping!” Said Owen as he ran to a mountain range known by the natives of this world as the Heavenly Mountain Range that holds countless demonic beast.
