Nameless King

Light Racer found himself in a strange, rather a creepy place. He had a lot of questions to answer, but first, he decided to take care of his wounds.

Scratch.

Light Racer bandaged his legs with bandages while sitting under a massive dried tree. There was an atmosphere of death and a strong smell of dead bodies all around, so this tree looked like the safest place to be.

"Shit. I was supposed to go back in time and save Mom and Dad! But, instead, I ended up where the hell I was! What kind of place is this? Purgatory? Hell? Heaven? Fuck!" The Light Racer exclaimed with an angry look as he hit the tree with all his might.

Bam.

The tree couldn't take that kind of force, so it split in two and fell.

"Okay. At least I was able to get here. That's something, at least I hope so." Light Racer sighed, shook his head, and moved on.

Light Racer didn't know where to go, so he just paced forward while small bones broke beneath him that hid the sand.

'How strange...' Light Racer muttered to himself, 'I've definitely gone over ten kilometers, but I can't figure out how much time has passed. This place is unusual.'

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Suddenly the ground trembled as a strong stream of wind blew towards Light Racer that blew sand and bones aside, so Light Racer had to cover his face with his hands.

"What the hell..." Light Racer muttered as he lowered his arms.

In the distance, he could see several silhouettes fighting each other, and after each skirmish, there was a powerful shockwave that made the sand go in waves.

"There are five of them... But... it's a one-against-four fight. Huh, that looks interesting. It's always more fun to help those who are outnumbered, isn't it?" Light Racer muttered with a sly smile on his face before going forward.

After a few seconds, Light Racer got close enough to engage and take a good look.

'Wait... That's Him...' Wain inwardly muttered while looking at those who were fighting.

The Dark Silhouette with a crown on his head and a long coat was outnumbered by four Skeletons in white robes with an hourglass sign and scythes on the back.

"Good. This is going to be fun." Light Racer muttered since his eyes sparkled and his hair glowed.

He wanted to join the fight, but something stopped him.

"Bastards. Why can't you guys get away from me?!" Dark Silhouette exclaimed as his aura intensified.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

A tremendous amount of energy erupted from the Dark Silhouette and turned into a huge jaw.

"Die!" The Dark Silhouette exclaimed as the jaw headed toward the skeletons and clamped down.

Crackling.

"What..." Light Racer muttered since he couldn't believe what he saw.

Part of the space just disappeared as well as half of the Skeletons' bodies. The jaw ate up all even space that should be infinite.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

The corpses fell down as they broke into bones, so the sand would cover them just like everyone else after a while.

"Well, those four were pretty annoying." Dark Silhouette sighed.

"Hey!" A voice came from afar.

Dark Silhouette prepared for a fight, but as he saw Light Racer, that waved his hand with a smile on his face, he relaxed.

"Have I finally met the man?" Dark Silhouette muttered as he raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm? Did you get here recently, too?" Light Racer asked.

"Recently? Are you kidding me?" Dark Silhouette grinned, "It's pretty hard to keep track of time here, but I'm pretty sure I've been here for weeks."

"A few weeks...?!" Light Racer exclaimed with a shocked look, "In all this time, you haven't met anyone else?"

"Yeah... That's it." Dark Silhouette nodded.

"Do you know what this place is?"

"Don't you?" The Dark Silhouette was surprised.

The Light Racer shook his head.

"Then how did you get here? I fought the Time Guardians, so they dragged me here on purpose to deal with me, but your case seems radically different." Dark Silhouette pondered.

"Well... You could say I was just running too fast. Some inhabitants have special abilities, so I overdid it." Light Racer said while holding the back of his head.

"Hahaha." Dark Silhouette laughed, "Good one. You're a pretty funny guy, aren't you?"

"Hmm? What makes you laugh so hard?" Light Racer asked with a confused look.

"Wasn't that a joke? I know a few guys who are real masters at speed techniques, but even they don't dare think about reaching a speed that would attract the attention of the Time Guardians." The Dark Silhouette waved his hand.

The Light Racer said nothing, he only smirked as his hair glistened.

Whooooooosh.

He turned into a golden flash and a moment later appeared behind the Dark Silhouette as he didn't even realize what had happened.

"Huh, it was pretty quick, but still not enough to shake time."

"Are you sure?" Light Racer said with a sly smile on his face while pointing forward.

"Hmm?" Dark Silhouette turned around, and his eyes widened as he stared at the tower of skeletal bones that he had just killed.

"You collected the bones, built a tower out of them, and ended up behind me all in a split second?" The Dark Silhouette spoke in a disbelief voice.

"Yes. Since you're convinced of my speed, tell me how I can get out of here. I still need to go back in time to do something." Light Racer said in a careless manner.

"I see. So that's your goal, unfortunately, that's impossible." The Dark Silhouette shook his head.

"What?! Why?" Light Racer exclaimed with a shocked look.

"Time cannot be changed, only slowed down. It is the rules of this world that we cannot ignore, so your dream is not destined to come true. You were able to come close to disrupting the flow of time, so you ended up here." The Dark Silhouette sighed.

"Then... Will we even be able to get out of here?" Light Racer muttered.

"Yeah..." The Dark Silhouette smirked, "There is one way."
