Multiversal: The Shop

So I've re-read this story, to be honest I wasn't sure what to think of it, while it isn't exactly very terrible. It isn't a good story either as there's multiple occasions that cringed at some scene that I wrote.

Not writing for several months now made me see this story in a different perspective. I can't see how the fuck this thing got popular, but regardless of my feelings about this story, there's going to be changes in my writing like. I can't believe the story I made was this bad.

-A2- 

"S-sir…are you perhaps joking?" A2 couldn't believe what she just heard from the mouth of her creator.

The brunette human male stared at her with a serious look, knowing exactly that he wasn't lying about what he said.

However that kind of information was world shattering, any android would have thought the same as her.

"Is that really surprising..?" The man in front of her spoke as if what he told her wasn't anything important.

"Of course it is! Do you have any idea how shocking it is that other worlds exist and humanity still lives to this very day?!" A2 couldn't contain her emotion, making her feel ashamed that she shouted at a human.

"I-i, I'm sorry sir for shouting at you…" A2 couldn't look at the human in front of her because of her earlier outburst.

Thankfully the human didn't feel any offense at all, instead he smiled gently at her and said. "It's no big deal, really. It takes a lot to offend me."

It didn't make her happy at all, instead it made her feel more ashamed at her previous action, not to mention the fact that she almost made him a kebab.

"E-even so…"

"Look I know you guys are created to serve us humans, but you know we aren't as fragile as you think we are."

A2 couldn't help but be skeptical at that claim, if humans weren't fragile then they wouldn't have experienced extinction in the first place.

Her creator, no more like an alternative version of her creators, it doesn't really matter if he's from another world the fact that he's a human, the same species as their god as far as she's concerned.

The human noticed her skeptical look, he said. "I can see that you disagree with my statement."

As much as she didn't want to say it, however this is in fact the truth. "Humans are weak, they might have created us but they aren't stronger or faster than us in physical capabilities."

The human in front of her smiled at her words and replied. "I'm not exactly sure how strong you androids are but I'm betting that you could easily break steel with ease, am I wrong?"

A2 didn't disagree. "That's right."

"Let me tell you, while the majority of humankind is weak, there's always an exception like us." He pointed at himself and at the blue haired human.

A2 didn't know what to say, should she just agree with it?

However, lying isn't exactly her best suit, nor does she want to lie just to comfort someone, even if that someone is a human.

"You're not really good at masking your expression huh? It's kind of funny how open you are, not that it's a bad thing, at least you're honest."

Unconsciously she touched her face and thought. 'Is my face really that obvious..?'

"Either way, while I can understand you're skeptical about my claim, words are cheap. Why not try and duel with my friend here, I guarantee that he wouldn't disappoint you in combat."

"Hey, didn't agree to this.." The blue haired human grumbled.

"Oh, are you really going to be like this? Fine, If I recall you said something about owing me a favor, then I'm using that favor to have a match with her." The brunette shop owner said.

"I wasn't going to refuse anyway…" Himmel said with a sigh.

Then suddenly A2 quickly said, "No, no I can't do that!"

Alexander the human raised a brow and said, "Why not? Don't you want to find out whether what I said is true or not?"

Yes, she wanted to know, however if it's false she would harm the fragile human and might end up gravely injuring him.

It wasn't like she wasn't confident with her combat skills. A2 just didn't know how to fight humans without harming them.

It's an unknown territory, and something she refused to take a risk on.

To even hurt a human is a grave sin, and something she doesn't want to repeat once again, what she did with the brunette was terrible enough that she would probably have nightmares for years to come, knowing that she almost killed a human with her own hands.

As reading her thoughts like a book to read, the human said. "I see, you're afraid that you'll harm him in combat."

A2 was honestly surprised by that, was she really that easy to read..? Or….maybe it's a special human ability?

If it was the latter then, it wouldn't surprise her at all. 'As expected of humans.'

It is only expected of their creators, they are indeed special.

"Yes, while I'm confident of my combat skills, I'm not sure how to handle a human. I might injure him or worse kill him due to a moment of carelessness. I would never be able to forgive myself if that were to happen." A2 laid out her fears and doubts.

Alexander didn't say anything for a bit, before replying. "I don't know how skilled you are in combat, however answer this question for me, are you strong enough to slice a mountain in a single attack?"

Although A2 was confused, regardless she answered her creator. "No, I don't think anyone is capable of doing such a feat, well maybe except for a special unit machine called Grün."

With a smile, he said. "If that's the case, then you don't need to worry about harming Himmel."

"Huh..?" A2 titled in her head in confusion, however it didn't take her long to understand exactly what he meant.

-3rd Pov-

A2 couldn't believe it, as she saw the bluenette countered her attack with ease.

'How is this possible…?!'

A human, who they know as a fragile being was overwhelming an android like her who was specifically built for combat with such ease, the human didn't even look like he was trying!

Clang!

Both spear and sword clashed with each other with such force that it created mini shockwaves at each and every exchange they made.

"You're better than I thought." Himmel smiled at the white haired android as he continued his attacks.

Cling! Clang! Shiiiing!

A2 grunted in pain as she was being pushed back, this was unbelievable, unthinkable even!

'I thought humans were supposed to be fragile and weak! But what is this?! How is this human so strong, not to mention even more skilled than me in combat!' It was as if everything that she knew about humans crumbled before her eyes, what she knew about their creators was completely incorrect.

Without realizing it, she was already on the ground, completely overwhelmed by Himmel's strength.

Then the tip of his sword was only an inch closer to her neck before it could truly hit her, the bluenette said. "Do you yield?"

Absent-mindedly she nodded, then only to realize that she was utterly defeated by the being that she thought was 'fragile'.

"Are… are all humans capable of achieving things like this?" A2 couldn't help but blurt those words.

"No, not really but only a small minority could achieve something like Himmel did." Alexander, who was watching the fight, replied to A2's question.

And after he did he thought. 'But of course, it's depends what world we're talking about, after all different concepts and limits exist, while in my world is entirely possible to achieve Himmel's level of strength, but it would take special methods and enormous amount of effort, not to mention talent to even achieve that kind of superhuman strength.'

Well, that's how it is normally. But Alexander has the shop and Himmel's strength and combat skills aren't that hard to achieve with enough points.

But then again, his establishment is a cheat of life itself.

"Now, are you willing to believe that humans aren't as fragile as you thought us to be?" Alexander said.

"Of course, after that fight how could I not..?" A2 whispered her answer, but regardless Alexander heard it and was satisfied.

Suddenly Alexander moved his body for a bit, dodging an incoming attack from behind. "That was quite rude of you."

He stared at his attacker with no small amount of amusement. It was a white haired android with a short structure  wearing a blindfold who tried to hit him.

But sadly for him, he wouldn't be able to touch him as long as Alexander has his Observation Haki in passive mode, as he literally has a limited form of future sight.

Any attempted attacks would be null, and completely easy to avoid.

Despite the short man's blindfolded appearance, it was obvious to see that he was surprised that his attacks were easily avoided.

However, it wasn't just him that was facing an assault. Himmel was also blocking a blindfolded white haired woman's relentless attack with her katana.

It didn't take A2 to realize what's happening and shouted toward our attacks with disbelief and anger. "Wait! Stop! Both of you! 9S and 2B cease your attacks right this instant!"

And like a charm, her words made the two freeze, while the shorter male android stared at A2 with confusion. "Huh? W-weren't they attacking you?"

"No! They are not! Did you know what the two of you just did?! If they weren't so capable they would have…!" 

And so, A2 was completely enraged with the thoughtless actions of her subordinates and won't be stopping anytime soon.

A/N - Yayyyy, finally I managed to write a chapter of this fanfic, welp I'm satisfied with how this turned out.

Now, I'm not going to update daily like I used to, as I realized I don't have the motivation like before and mostly the things I write are crap anyway cause, there's no rhythm in the story.

Instead I'll update 3 times a week, 4 if I feel really motivated but that's it. Don't worry about me missing for a long time as I've already set a wacky schedule.

If I won't update within that week, then I'm busy, if I did it means I would keep updating until It has 3 chapters for this week.

And if I won't be able to update in a month, it means I'm dead, like completely dead.

Support me on [email protected], even if it's just for a month I'd be really grateful.

[email protected]/charlottes143

Right now I have 5 chapters in advance, and this number won't be going down cause, ain't no way I'm updating unless I upload a chapter advance first.
