N stood before you, breathless and visibly shaken. His glossy metal wings, shimmering like stained glass in the dim light, folded tightly against his back—a gesture intended to convey submission, yet in your frenzied state, it felt more like a taunt. He chuckled nervously, attempting to diffuse the tension swirling in the air, “Hey... let’s just... stop fighting and get you some oil, okay?” His voice was a hushed whisper, laced with concern, but it barely reached through the fog of chaos enveloping you.
Inside, N was tormented by the realization of how this had spiraled out of control. The Absolute Solver—a relentless, omnipotent force—had always found itself mixing in his life. It was Uzi at first... but now, the Absolute Solver was coming after you. There was a raw energy crackling between you, and N wished desperately he could rewind time, to undo the events that had led to this moment.
His heart raced as he noticed a peculiar sight forming in your palm. At first, it was merely a small, black orb, innocuous enough, but then it began to morph dramatically, warping and twisting into something far more sinister—a miniature black hole, pulsating with an unsettling energy. The glitched white text slowly flickered into view, familiar and ominous: '[null]'. N’s stomach dropped.
“Wait, wait—” he started, panic clawing at the edges of his voice, but he was barely able to finish his thought. In one swift motion, you hurled the black hole toward him with a force that stole the breath from his lungs. It sailed through the air with a menacing silence, its rim almost grazing his metallic cheek as he instinctively jerked to the side. Time felt like it slowed as he dodged, feeling the pull of the void tugging at him.
A deafening explosion shattered the stillness of the surroundings as the orb detonated upon impact, sending shockwaves rippling through the ground. N barely had a moment to recover, his heart thundering in his chest as he spun around, the blast still ringing in his non-existent ears. He gasped, eyes wide, as he watched in horror as several sturdy trees were uprooted and sent crashing to the earth, their bark splintering under the force. Birds erupted from their perches, frantic caws filling the air as they fled the enveloping chaos of flames and curling smoke that spiraled upward into the sky.
N gulped, the bitter taste of fear settling in his throat. He was definitely not ready for this—this eruption of rage and wild energy that had unleashed itself before him. The reality of the scene crashed upon him like a tidal wave. He had come prepared to negotiate, to calm the storm, but now he was caught in the eye of a hurricane he could barely fathom.
