Years ago, before the wheel had yet been found, mankind fought each other for an arrow believed to come from another universe. So, what was the specialty of this arrow—that everyone fought with each other—and why didn’t anyone form a team? This arrow has the potential to grant superpowers to anyone with their last name if the person who gets it stabs them. This arrow is one of a kind, and awakening this superpower within yourself is not that easy. Going back to the present, an ancestor of mine got this arrow, and most of the people with the surname “Lightning” have superpowers thanks to him. I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it, but when my family showed me a few examples, I believed it. The only problem was awakening this power…
I forgot my purpose in life and focused on this power within myself. I worked and trained for hours every day, and one day I felt a change in myself. Looking in the mirror, I noticed that there was a tiny, pink, alien-like thing on my right back shoulder. “6 seconds.” he said to me and never spoke again. That was his name, but why does he have such a name? I used my strength to find out and went back six seconds in time. I was looking at the thing on my shoulder in the mirror. I understand everything now; my power is to go back in time for about 6 seconds, and that’s why the thing on my shoulder was called “6 seconds.” I would use this power to my advantage, and everything would be much easier. I was very happy to have such power until I was told that someone with the last name “Lightning” was abusing his power and that I had to stop him. No one knew what his power was, but they gave me the address of where he lived, and I went there. When I went to the address, there was a villa in front of me, and frankly, it looked quite normal. When I walked in, the lights were off, and all I could see was one table. I would not have seen that table without the candles on it. I approached the table, and what happened was right at that moment, while I was blowing out the candles. I fell asleep and started dreaming. It must have been his strength because this dream was not a normal dream; it was as if I hadn’t slept at all and the dark room around me had turned into a different place. I found myself in front of a Ferris wheel in an amusement park. Even though I looked around and tried to escape, everywhere was the same Ferris wheel, and that’s why I tried to use my power as a last resort, but I couldn’t use it because the thing on my shoulder was not in place. I got on the Ferris wheel and sat down. The Ferris wheel began to move, and finally, the possessor of this power appeared in front of me, suspended in the air. I was not surprised because I already understood that its power is to control the dream and trap people here. After a little talk, he said to me:”I’ve reached the limit of my power; you’ll be out of this dream soon, and that’s when you can catch me, if you can remember.” What does that mean now? Of course I will remember him and defeat him with my strength.
After a few seconds, it got dark again, and I found myself inside a villa. So where was this place, and why did I come here? Then I remembered that there was someone I had to catch, and he was living in this villa. But if I came out of this villa, it means that I entered here before. I didn’t remember anything, but because I had no other choice, I went inside again. It was dark inside, but suddenly I fell asleep, and the dark turned into a amusement park. I remember this place; I was under the influence of that man’s power and had to ride the Ferris wheel. But when I came out of the dream, why couldn’t I remember? Everything was settled then: “…if you can remember me.” The bad guy meant it when he said that. I had to find a way so that I could either beat him in the dream or remember what happened when he came out of it. That’s when an idea came to my mind: I couldn’t remember anything when I came out of the dream, but any change in my body that happened in the dream was not erased. That’s why I took out the knife I had saved for difficult situations and wrote down what was happening on my arm in very short words. But we had a problem because the guy I was after didn’t look like the last one… He had a huge scythe on his back! He came close to hurting me with this, but I immediately jumped down and started to run away. But what was good about the dream was that it was under his control, and he could go wherever he wanted in a short time. Fortunately, luck favored me, and he had reached his limit.
I found myself in that room again, but this time I was able to remember everything thanks to the notes on my arm. So how would I find him in this dark place now? As I was asking myself questions, he suddenly appeared behind me and thrust the scythe into my chest. He started talking and cheering like he had won, but I looked up, smiled, and shouted “6 seconds.” Time had been pushed back six seconds, and that man was unaware of it. Knowing what was going to happen, I caught the man before he even appeared and said, “It’s no use attacking me, because I’ve already experienced this once.” After that, he also understood my strength, but it was too late; I had defeated him. I continued my life with this power from where I left off, and everything was easier as you would expect.
