I See One Second Into The Future: Loner In The Apocalypse

I will not die. Not for someone else. ... For as long as Kairos could remember, he experienced things twice. Originally, Kairos believed that was completely normal. However, as he grew up, he realized that it was not nearly that simple. Kairos would experience things one second before they happened. At first, he used it to avoid stubbing his toe or having a plate fall on his head. But as he got older, he realized that being too different from other people was essentially a sin. And so, Kairos quickly covered his ability up and pretended to be a loner. He let himself get shoved around even when he knew he could avoid it, just to blend in with the crowd. However, things weren't just left at that. Along with his strange ability, Kairos always had dreams. Dreams of a rising red sun. At first, they were infrequent and more confusing than anything else. But as time went on, he had this same dream more frequently. And it also became more terrifying. Kairos would wake up in a cold sweat, not truly understanding why he was so afraid. That is, until one day. When the red sun rose. And the apocalypse descended. ... 300 Powerstones = 1 Bonus Chapter 800 Powerstones = 3 Bonus Chapters ...

Empathy

Kairos slowly opened his eyes, and laid his hands down at his sides. He opened his mouth slightly, almost like he was about to say something, but didn't in the end. Azami let out a small sigh.

"Hey, come on. Say it out loud, or it becomes unclear alright?"

He blinked a few times before taking a deep breath.

"I suppose the best way to put it is that I miss the simple times. I'm just really tired of always being required to overthink needlessly. It always feels like... nothing really needs to be so complicated. There are things you can't say, there are things you can't do. Ways you need to act, expectations of word choice."

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"Even though just being honest with each other would be better for everybody."

Kairos fell silent for a little while before flashing a bitter smile.

"I suppose... now that I think about it, you were right about what you said earlier. That the thoughts of animals are preferred. They don't overcomplicate things."
