Sweat draped down from my hair to the backside of my head in unceremonious fashion

I was soaked and drenched in a pool of regret and sadness and yet the subtle hint of optimism was embedded in my psyche

My screams had died adown and for the first time in forever, my mind was never clearer, I could see it

I could see everything. Feel everything and all the sensations that encompassed it. The core of cursed energy

If only for a mere glimpse but I saw it and from that perception I gained clarity and awareness, my body and mind no longer governed by rationality and logic but the serenity of the known

I was up, my being restored to the optimum, and my body overflowing with limitless amounts energy untold and unchartered by anyone else

I was up and moving, reinforced with the energy that led my wake, grasping hold of Haibara's barely breathing body I ran with the wind at my helm and the elation of it all trailing along

Two souls entwined to create something anew, something truly uncanny - something akin Frakenstein's monster, patched and stitched meticulously to fill the void of one another

I was more than Nanami Kento and Jonathan Saint.

I was something that could reach heights that none of them could ever dream of

An amalgamation that shattered an preconceptions of the body, mind and soul

A monster of untold potential

But none of it mattered in this overwhelming sense of euphoria that engulfed me, and yet the urgency of the second life called to me guiding me along telling me survival was our utmost priority

Jonathan Saint, a mundane man who walked the mundane path under the Sun who died abruptly as his rebirth. A man of little interests, fiction t be exact and one that knew of this as one of fiction itself

The man arrogantly made a deal with a God beyond the bars of death and reincarnated in the body of Nanami Kento a young promising sorcerer of Jujustu Kaisen

In exchange you may ask? Entertainment

In exchange for the blessing of life I would cursed to live out the next as entertainment for a bored God

A purpose given only to me and me alone. A less than ideal purpose but one that fits the criteria nonetheless

So I will say the exact same thing he said to the the being of unparalleled power

If you want entertainment then I'll give you some the likes of such you've never seen!

The rationality of my brain had finally caught up to my breeze of my mind bringing logic back into focus rather than ecstasy however the grip of delirious adrenaline still held strong

My body was stronger and more powerful than it had ever been before and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that behind the veil of mystery, something dormant lay

I ran, my movement speed empowered by the overwhelming amount of cursed energy as if my reserves had tapped into a reserve beyond current human comprehension

The cave-like structure of the environment grew narrower and converged into a singular path engulfed by spirals of darkness and the sombre regret of the fallen soldiers

Soldiers never meant to partake in a war as one sided cold as this and yet they did be it duty or sheer insanity or maybe a bit of both and yet they did

Without allowing the eerie sense of silence that pierced my ear to drag me back, I swiftly moved our bodies to where the exit we made our entrance from was with haste

I was close.

I could tell without even time to access the situation, all I had to do was escape this place and allow The Strongest to do what does best - save the weak

I had no chance of exorcising the spirit that reaped the life of former Nanami, it was too powerful too overwhelming it lacked nothing but the compassion of man and who's to say that's really a disadvantage in a world as cruel as this. It was a finger bearer something greater than the specification of the mission given to us by the higher ups

Something that shouldn't have to be born and yet it was. Something my current self wasn't willing to take the gamble of exorcising so with more distance behind me I trudged on feeling the breeze of sweet air caressing my face 

I'm aliv-

My eyes closed for a split second to take it on however that was my downfall.

There was a shift in the air that was unmistakeable tot eh alertness of my skin that had all it's hair perked up and straight at this moment

Call it intuition or precognition on an instinctual level but before I could process what the feeling of fear that I felt, the space seemed to warp and contort at my presence, throwing Haibara out of danger spontaneously

My eyes widened as I trembled even further the sickening metallic taste coated my tongue and body in an instant was propelled backwards into wall nearby

The world buzzed with motion, the irksome buzz of tinnitus entered my ears as my brain failed to catch up until a jolt of pain coiled around me and brought me back to lift

The eyelids opened allowing me to perceive everything and there I came face to face with it

Eyes. So many Eyes that peered into my souls

Eldritch and vile it's nature. It was grotesque every aspect, human skulls protruded for every orifice that decorated it's body along with monstrous faces that littered it's body. It took a form that possessed many limbs and yet it stood on two, and wore around arms and legs as if it was just as human as I

Had God forsaken this world so much to give birth to a monster

My thoughts were in disarray as it became even difficult to breathe let alone think. Every twitch of it's body or vile sound it made hammered in fear into my psyche

Sanity nor sound of my mind was allowed within it's presence as my mind dipped into madness at the bone chilling silence of it all and there I saw my body

I was nothing. My lower torso was gone once more, crushed between rock that had unnaturally shot out and compressed my torso into mush for my eyes to bare witness to

I had fallen into the very same state I was before my reincarnation

Replaced with a gaping, searing red that pushed my mind that was skating along the skirts of chaos into it to be submerged fully

Am I going to die? Was I really going to die here? What about the deal? Was that all I was good for? A lousy wasted life that barely even started? I was truly going to die this time for real?!

"God you hear me right?! Do something? You want entertainment right?! Save me!" I screamed with fervour 

I couldn't die like this? Right? Was everything for nothing?!

I was met with a resounding silence as if even the world was mocking me for my stupidity

My mind went blank with nothing before a laugh erupted from the pits of realisation

"How could I forget this world is a cruel one full of curses, I should know this well." I grinned in self deprecation, "...I was almost about to give up wasn't I?"

Digging my fingers into the stone crushing my body, I peeled back my skin until blood was drawn and crawled from the crevice I was wedged in. The entwinement of negative against negative to form something greater 

Positive energy!

I healed to my former state with a sneer, " Sorry but it's going to take way more to end my life !" I screamed

I did something crazier than I had ever done before, something beyond concepts itself, a idea that made up the fundamentals of the world

Positive energy fused with Ratio to create the reversal. To create a weapon of life as my sword

The rotation of the world conceptualised into the material plane

The Golden Ratio!
