Chapter 21: A King's Entitlement
As a caged bird, Yufang flew free escaping the ocean's elusive grasp, launching himself far above, Yufang soared hundreds and hundreds of meters into the sky hovering far above an island where he reigns supreme.
Over this island his alone, Yufang breathed out, exhaling a sigh of relief. Never looking to the ocean below, he laughed, and screamed, "Hah-ah-a-ha-, you trash do you dare come up here to fight me?"
On the water's surface, dark spots began to appear, thousands upon thousands of dark spots hundreds of meters wide.
Smiling widely over the world, Yufang muttered, "A display of fireworks lights the sky above... Wait a display of fireworks lights the sky above?!" Looking closer Yufang in a great panic cursed, "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! No!!! I was joking why would you follow me?..."
This grand array of fireworks celebrating Yufang's escape... Unfortunately for Yufang fireworks they truly were not, for their in the sky above, tens of thousands of species of different fish and from these species, the sky was painted a myriad of shades, and colors. At such a spectacle, to be lucky enough to witness such an oddity, Yufang coughed blood.
Floating aimlessly in the sky, panic. Waving his arms around, and kicking his legs Yufang aimed to escape. However, this was the sky, being a caged bird, and flying free was only an idiom, to fly free Yufang could now only wish. Aimlessly he fell, an inadequate bird, incapable of flight.
Overlord, a being that falters not even in death. Overlord a name given to a man crazed, a man that looks death straight in the eye, with a smile upon his face.
Overlord, undoubtedly Yufang was none. For across his face, true panic, and like a flightless chicken falling to its death, he flapped and flapped his wings, but as a chicken, he flapped to no prevail, for even the flightless of birds, Yufang was not, he was a Human inept incapable of flight, and wings? He had not.
Plummeting to the earth's surface, a man feeble. Yufang's strength drained all he could do now was pray.
For salvation he could only pray.
His fall safe, but what was to come after, those thousands soaring high above. The beautiful array of fireworks above would soon fall upon this land cursed, and with their fall a Yufang below would be crushed into a state of no return, Yufang undoubtedly would be crushed into oblivion.
To this island, demonic a mere 230 meters sat between Yufang and it. Yufang a young man standing at 6'1 and weighing in at 119lbs (54kgs) forsaken by gravity fell hundreds of meters a second.
Between here and impact, Yufang had 2.3 seconds to think. 2.3 seconds to find a path new. No one would wait, his time-limited Yufang's mind was pushed to its very limits, "Tick, tick, tick, tick." Time waits for no one, the clock ticks without remorse.
Yufang was in a predicament, a second passed, and thousands of ideas had appeared, but none of which were viable, for each thought depended on the ability of his past self, truly Yufang was in a desperate situation.
...All that remained now a mere 1.3 seconds, Yufang now really racking his brain pushed himself beyond humanly possible, he pushed his brain to 4000% for an answer.
However, it was useless 5 meters from the ground, Yufang's time was depleted. Closing his eyes Yufang prepared for death.
To admit defeat, to lose heart, to surrender, Yufang would never. Yufang would never push himself so far as to demean himself by being crushed under overfed goldfish, regaining his composure Yufang panicked no longer, time slowed and in the depths of his own darkness, mere milliseconds away from death, Yufang thought of something, but sighing there was nothing he could do, his time was long gone.
Time. A mere concept created by mortals. To Yufang, this thing called time held meaningless, and although now 4 meters from the ground, Yufang put on a smile bright, and let time flow normally once more. To admit defeat, Yufang knew not of such a thing, across all of time life he reigned supreme, and all throughout time, only a select few actually dared to challenge him openly.
Landing on the ground here, mere fish dared at his life, Yufang was angered, he was outraged, his eyes glowing a fiery red, Yufang stood tall and observed these fish hundreds of thousands of meters above falling tens of thousands of meters a second.
He had to pull it off, he had to pull off something so insane it was incomprehensible, he had to pull off this bet to save his life, to show a measly fish who their God truly was, and to do as such Yufang had to overclock his brain to an amount unreachable, he needed to overclock his brain to 9,000,000%. Yufang needed to pass the limits of humanity, nay! Yufang needed to exceed the limits of even the one they call God.
Compressing every ounce of being he had inside him, concentrating everything on his brainpower, Yufang grew dreary, his vision fading, and within his veins his blood ran black. Ceasing to even breath, Yufang on the verge of self-destruction had reached 50,000%, a point that had already exceeded the limit of God, however, this...
It wasn't enough, Yufang had to push further, his goal still infinitely far away, Yufang needed to reach a level where he could calculate everything. To calculate over a trillion possibilities in mere milliseconds and to act upon them Yufang needed it, he needed to reach 9,000,000%.
Under dire circumstances, drastic measures are needed, and so at the edge of life and death, Yufang completely cut off everything, falling down onto his back, Yufang left only his brain and eyes to function.
Concentrating completely, Yufang's eyes ran black with blood, his blood vessels burst, and his muscles imploded.
And here, Yufang overclocked his brain past everyone known, Yufang had pushed his brain to 10,023,098% to calculate. To calculate at a level exclusive to only Yufang, he now did. For each fish above Yufang's eyes began to move, and his brain started its calculations.
On such a mission, while befuddled and thinking beyond possible, no mistakes could be made.
Trillions of ever-changing variables within his calculations. For each of these tens of thousands of fish falling Yufang had to calculate, he had to calculate their very trajectory for each and every moment, he needed to calculate the very time each would meet the ground, and most of all Yufang amidst all this needed to calculate a path he could follow.
However, now Yufang needed to move, he needed to regain movement, with his brainpower falling for every millisecond, Yufang moved. Without a second thought, at the peak of intelligence, Yufang jumped tens of meters in the sky, and doing so he landed on the colossal body of a fish falling.
No time. Never any time to wait, and never having any time to think clearly, Yufang pushed forward doing the impossible, he had calculated it, he had calculated the very path that would lead to his greatest chance for survival.
This path however, ever-changing, but even with his greatly falling intellect Yufang continued to calculate from far below, he calculated thousands, no, Yufang had calculated trillions of steps in advance.
Jumping, climbing higher, and soaring to a place beyond the sky, Yufang traversed space by merely jumping from fish to fish. Yufang had made his way all the way to the top, where he was finally safe, and below him high above Yufang watched as the fish fell at a greater speed than he ever would, to their immediate bloody deaths upon impact with that land cursed.
At the peak of thought Yufang spoke, "Goodbye." As from the ozone layer, Yufang fell with a smile upon his face. His brain overclocked, nothing in this unforgiving world is free, a cost came with everything, and Yufang's price something great, to Yufang all notion of thought was lost. Closing his eyes, Yufang fainted, and no longer in control he plummeted down to a world chaotic. Losing consciousness Yufang entered a slumber, eternal.

Upon a land chaotic, a creature awakens, this creature opening its eyes moves not. A being incapable of thought it laid there in a bloodied mess... This creature without thought, it just laid there, this creature without bones, a horrifying creature that's body was merely a distorted bloodied mess just watched, as the stars above moved across the astral plane.
Think it tried but nothing. Move it tried but incapable it just laid. Scream it tried but no voice left its mouth. Hungered it cried out but no one came.
An abomination, a being that defied life itself. A creature clearly dead, but somehow it survived and around this creature unknown the remnants of a battlefield. Around this being thoughtless the rotting flesh and bones of countless remain.
Like this time passed by, first days, then months went by, and like this years had passed since the awakening of this creature upon this world, but this creature illogical it remained never to move, however throughout time within this creature something had changed, it grew feelings, it began to yearn it began looking for something more, but as time passed it grew bored, and to this world that birthed it trapping it to look upon the same sky night and day this being it began it felt hate.
Since that time countless years and eras were left behind, but this creature mindless it remained staring off to a world far away, but then a miracle... This creature in a bloodied mess, a creature incapable of thought, moved, this being without flesh nor bones had moved.
Revolting. Truly to see such a creature even show any signs of life, it was sickening, but when it moved... There were no words that could explain just what one would feel upon seeing such a thing.
Mindlessly it wandered, to the end of the island and back, but never once did it leave, it was scared, it was terrified to forsake this place it only felt hate towards.
However, as it moved, something had changed, the hunger that had plagued it for an eternity, lessened. Something on this island had provided it with sustenance. For the first time in its life this being felt happiness, and so began the feast.
Time although having passed, around the remnants, remained, and although now nothing but a rotten substance, to this being this is what fueled it.
Mindlessly it wandered, each movement in this bloodied world torture, and although unable to even comprehend thought, this being felt pain, wandering aimlessly he met the carcasses of those dead, rotting flesh, and blood spread in this world demonic further than all could see, here however this being wandered, devouring everything.
Its life had changed, from looking up to the sky yearning to devouring and traversing this land great, its life for the first time in countless years felt progress.
Devouring, and devouring, and devouring, and devouring. This being relentless, it moved only wishing to devour everything, and for this being facing eternal suffering, having lived its whole life in great pain, for its first joy, for its yearning of the night sky above it continued on persistent to live.
The eternal clock of time ticks and time passes by once more. To this being, it remained to do all it knew, it remained to devour, and within this creature something changed, deep within, a small flame lit, a flame consisting of chaotic nature sat devouring all of what this monstrosity consumed.
But then one day it just stopped, all actions towards devouring ceased. Its source of food it had run out, this creature sitting at the island's edge sat frozen it was scared, it didn't quite know why it was scared, but what this being felt fear indeed this was it.
It only knew one thing, no... It knew nothing, but somewhere deep within something fueled him, it called him, it told him to devour, it told him to destroy everything, it told him to devour the universe, it told him to enter the ocean for sustenance. As much as it wanted to it was scared, but it had to, something deep down told him this was its only chance, and so walking down this being dove into the ocean.
Unbeknown to this being, over time its form changed, this mass of organs and blood, grew blood vessels, it grew veins, it grew tissue, it grew bones, it grew skin, and it gained the process of thought, this being it had evolved, taking form. Entering this ocean it was no longer that monstrosity, but a devilishly handsome young man.
He didn't know anything, but he didn't need to. For, change he didn't need it, he was happy just the way he was, but his life of happiness permanent it was not. His horizon had to be expanded, he needed to search of a world new, he needed to hunt, he needed to feed himself, he needed to understand what it takes to survive and so the seas this young man turned, for survival.
