"Smoke spear!" I shouted as I was falling from the tall building that is my school. The shadows appeared at the wall and broke into hard concrete. I grabbed one of the black, uneven spikes and saved myself.
A guy, with long, blue sword jumped off the building wanting to crush me into nothingness down below. Geez, he is so annoying, always going after me when I'm clearly much stronger than he is. I made more spears to break his fall and make him defend himself.

He widened his sword, making it a shied. Unlike me, who uses offensive techniques for attack and defense, he has less attack power but more defense. I could start climbing up now to get to the firm ground. Black spears I used as jumping platforms, dispelling them as I pass them.

Repeating what I have done, he starts following me while in proces throwing ice daggers at me.

The two of us aren't the only ones fighting. There are two more girls and everyone fights against each other. A girls with dark brown hair with wings of same colour versus a green eyed beauty with bow. The winged girls flew in front of me making her in perfect position for me to attack her. I made three daggers which I solidified to hurt her. Aiming at the place between her wings, knowing she won't be able to reach it with her hands to pull the daggers out, I threw them.

A white arrow hit the first dagger which reflected both of them hitting the remaining daggers in the proces.

"What the...!" What small chance was there for that to happen? And it happened. I cursed again as ice dagger scratched my hand. It's cold and sharp and instead of blood, smoke came out of the wound closing it fast. It angered me.

I swiped with my hand sending a black wave at Aaron, the guy behind me. He blocked it, probably... But, who cares, I'm at the roof observing the catfight. Lindsey, green eyed girl, had the advantage with her bow over the flying enemy. She fired her arrows quickly not letting Rea close to herself. Neither of them noticed me and I let transparent smoke cover the roof to unleash the Smoke web.

Lindsey again ruined my plan by accidentaly absorbing my smoke to her Arrow rain. The principle of Arrow rain is collecting air around the user then firing it widely. As smoke is partialy air,she was able to pull it as well. Her arrows got darker and her eyes widened realizing that if she hadn't accidentally decided to fire Arrow rain she would be badly injured. As my plan fell appart I made smoke explode near her throwing Lindsey backwards.

Rea flew at me seeing an opening. Before I was able to create Spear wall an icicle hit her.

"He's mine!" Aaron shouted throwing another icicle at her which she dodged this time while her left arm bled.

"Who cares? We are fighting alone and there can be only one winner." The blood dripped from her arm.

I didn't care about their argument, I prepared myself for Smoke web once again. This time it succeeded and they were caught in a net designed from spiders web. The sides of web jumped up and tangled with each other. Those two, Aaron and Rea,were pushed close to each other in an intimate position. My web alone made it hard to fight and their position made it impossible. That means they are temporarily irrelevant.

The problem I have now is Lindsey. She has recovered from the explosion. She aimed at me and her hair fluttered from the air she collected. Her arrow released sent her flying backwards. I made Spear wall and have sent it her way hoping it will intercept her arrow. My hopes weren't in vain as it crashed against it. My wall wasn't strong enough to stop it as it's power decreased enough for me to avoid the most of it. My Spear wall being similar to her Arrow rain in terms of look, attacked her.

Both her and I bled. My right foot was crushed and it became black from smoke so I could act like it never happened. Both of her arms were impaled along with her stomach.

This is nothing. There were fights when a persons skin was peeled off, body pieces burnt to charcoal and stung many times from a rapier.

The irrelevant ones broke out of my web and decided to pair up against me. That complicates things. I wanted to impale them together and quickly so.

Rea flew once again at me with Aaron's support from behind. He froze the ground which would usually work against other. My support skill, Nail shoes, allowed me to slightly break the ground, or body if needed, to be able to go over slippery places.

Because I got bored from playing with them, I decided to use soul takeover. Not a lot of people who can collect monster souls can activate soul takeover.

"May you choke in thick smoke! Come, Ghastly Reaper, finish our enemies with body of mine." With that incantation a takeover has started. Black smoke started coming out of my mouth and nose, twirling around my body. Some strands of smoke ripped off lashing at everything around like whips. It was scary scene, even more so because they are first time seeing it.

My two enemies fell on ground one by the other, paralysed by fear. Their eyes were wide open with sign of coming tears. The floor that was covered in ice has melted and the air filled with malice.

Takeover finished with an explosion which turned the sky black. Clouds amassed, fog rose and temperature dropped. Then it started raining making the atmosphere gloomier than it has ever been before. The King of Despair has awoken.

My face got a mask in shape of skull with missing chin, the clothes became robe-like with the difference of it seeming like smoke. It continued changing itself, sleeves would become shorter or it got wider, sometimes even a hood appeared.

"It's been so long since I last fought someone who can move in my presence and this scrawny kid always lets me finish his worms. Tsk, whatever." Reaper waved his hand horizontally  leaving slim trace of smoke floating. Then he picked it and walked slowly, soundlessly, toward his targets. While walking he reshaped what was line in a scythe. Coming near girl, he crouched, put his finger on her chin and collected her tears.

"I like tears. They are tasty. You shouldn't let me have them so easily." She couldn't answer, not even stop her tears coming out. Reaper stood up, pulled his scythe back and cut her thread of life.

"Oh, my, you are so pitiful. Men crying is a pitiful sight. I should have ended you first then I wouldn't have to suffer watching you cry for even one measly second. Die worm." Reaper decided to tear apart the thread of life of the guy with his own hands since that is more embarrassing death. With just one his hand he tore it.

"Kid, why do you leave the killing to me?" The Reaper asked me.

You make it seem more dramatic. You are better at it.

"So be it."
