Akube crossed his arms, glancing at his best friend.

  Akube: “Hey… Dranexx. You’ve been quiet ever since we got here.”

  Dranexx didn’t respond immediately. His eyes were fixed on the distant horizon where fragments of light shimmered like broken stars.

  Akube: “You seemed ready to throw hands with the Grandmasters back there… Don’t tell me you’ve already got a death wish.”

  Dranexx scoffed faintly.

  Dranexx: “Tch. Don’t be stupid.”

  Akube stepped closer, lowering his voice.

  Akube: “It’s your mom… and Mina, right? That’s why you were trying to fight them.”

  Silence.

  The wind howled across the platform.

  For the first time since arriving in this new world, Dranexx’s expression softened.

  Dranexx: “…They dragged us here without asking. No explanation. No guarantee we’ll ever return.”

  His fists clenched.

  Dranexx: “My little sister waits for me every day after school. And my mom… she already works too hard.”

  A faint crack of dimensional energy flickered around him.

  Dranexx: “If anything happens to them while I’m gone… I don’t care if they’re called ‘Grandmasters.’ I’ll tear apart this entire realm.”

  Akube smirked slightly.

  Akube: “Heh… there’s the Dranexx I know. Always acting cold, but soft for family.”

  Dranexx rolled his eyes.

  Dranexx: “Shut up, Aku.”

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Akube placed a hand on his shoulder.

  Akube: “We’ll get stronger. Strong enough to force them to send us back. If this world thinks it summoned heroes…”

  His eyes sharpened.

  Akube: “…then it better be ready for monsters.”

  A faint smile appeared on Dranexx’s face.

  Far above them, unseen by both boys, a mysterious feminine presence watched silently… her divine aura stretching across existence itself.

  Dranexx:Yeah… but that’s not the case. As long as they’re fine, I have no problem with it. Because right now… we’re already dead in the real world.

  Akube:Wait… you’re serious? That means!!

  Dranexx:The Grandmasters were telling the truth. I felt it when we were in that realm. At first, only our souls were summoned. Our bodies remained behind… replaced with pseudo-souls.

  But the moment the explosion happened—our tragic end—our real bodies were summoned to us.

  That’s when I realized… we can now move freely in this world.

  Without a physical vessel, we couldn’t access our true nature. But once our bodies returned…

  The limitations were shattered.

  That’s when my Ultimate Ability awakened.

  …Never mind. I can’t reveal everything to you just yet. ??

  In this world, only the strongest survive.

  Akube:I noticed that too… but if we stay together, we’re unstoppable.

  Dranexx:Don’t be so sure. We’re not strong enough yet.

  There are beings out there capable of erasing us without breaking a sweat.

  Back at the Heavenly Palace… that Grandmaster of Truth

  and the Judgment Grandmaster

  they both possess that level of power.

  And I’ll be honest… if that Celestial your Grandmaster restrained hadn’t been holding back…

  I doubt I could have beaten her.

  Akube:So you were gambling with your life back there? ??

  Dranexx:Not entirely. I believe I could’ve held my own.

  But victory wasn’t certain.

  For either of us.

  Akube:So… a draw?

  Dranexx (grinning):Absolutely. ??

  But next time I see her?

  I’ll be far stronger.

  And then… I will win.

  Akube (looking around):Drane… is it just me, or does this world feel different from the one the Grandmasters ruled?

  The flow of energy… the laws… they feel weaker.

  Dranexx:I noticed it too.

  That realm was structured to contain beings like the Grandmasters. A higher plane.

  when I activated my dimensional break it shattered the bridge between the two realm

  This one seems to be a physical world ??…

  That one was something else.

  A High divine Realm, perhaps

  But I witnessed their presence firsthand…My calculations are clear,That realm was superior to this one.

  Akube (smirking):This is just like those isekai manga we used to read back in the real world.

  Dranexx (eyes gleaming): Yh…. This is thrilling.

  For so long, I searched for something that could truly entertain me.

  Now?

  I’ll go beyond this verse.

  I’ll shatter every dimension… every realm…

  Until I find an opponent worthy of standing against me.
