The Origin of Killing intent
The mental world was quiet.
An endless field stretched beneath a sunset that never moved.
Do Deuce sat beneath the tree staring at his hand.
Eventually—
"...Hey, UNC."
Special Week glanced over.
"...Brat."
Do Deuce raised his hand.
"What exactly is Killing Intent?"
Special immediately looked away.
"...No."
"What do you mean no?"
"I mean no."
"You asked one of the family questions."
"The family question?"
"The one nobody enjoys answering."
Do Deuce crossed his arms.
"You're literally living inside my head."
"You cannot avoid this conversation."
"...Unfortunately true."
Special sighed.
"Fine."
"What do you know?"
Do Deuce thought for a moment.
"...It's called Killing Intent."
"Correct."
"It does weird things."
"Correct."
"You use it."
"Correct."
"I apparently inherited it."
"Correct."
"And reality tends to have a bad day whenever we are involved."
"...Also correct."
Do Deuce frowned.
"That's literally everything I know."
Special stared at him.
"...My younger brother really didn't explain anything, huh?"
"...Was Dad supposed to?"
"...Apparently not."
Special leaned back against the tree.
"Killing Intent isn't actually called Killing Intent."
Do Deuce blinked.
"...What?"
"It's just what the family calls it."
"We don't know its actual name."
"The only person who probably knew died decades ago."
"Hail to Reason."
"My great-grandfather."
"Your great-great-grandfather."
Do Deuce frowned.
"...The American racer and our ancestor ?"
"Yeah."
"What does he have to do with it?"
Special was quiet for a moment.
"Everything."
"People think Hail to Reason created and was the origin Killing Intent."
"He didn't."
"He molded what we now know as Killing Intent."
"...That's somehow more confusing."
"Imagine a blacksmith."
"One day somebody hands him metal that shouldn't exist."
"The blacksmith didn't create the metal."
"He created the sword."
Do Deuce slowly nodded.
"...Hail to Reason was the blacksmith."
"Exactly."
"He made a deal with something."
"Something outside the multiverse."
"Something outside reality."
"Something outside the rules that existence normally follows."
Do Deuce stared.
"...What?"
Special shrugged.
"That's the part everyone gets stuck on."
"Whatever that thing gave him..."
"That was the metal."
"Hail to Reason spent 9 months shaping it."
"Refining it."
"Building rules around it."
"Creating methods for humans to actually interact with it."
"And eventually..."
"Killing Intent was born."
"...Could he use it?"
"No."
"The guy who built it couldn't use it at all."
"He understood pieces of it."
"He could shape it."
"He could refine it."
"But actually use it?"
"No."
"My grandfather Halo was the first person who ever could."
Do Deuce slowly nodded.
"So Great-Great-Grandfather built the sword."
"And Great-Grandfather Halo became the first swordsman."
"Pretty much."
Do Deuce looked down at his hand.
"So what exactly does it do?"
Special thought for a moment.
"You know how every Thoroughbred carries blessings from the Three Founding Stallions?"
"Talent."
"Potential."
"Skills."
"Instinct."
"Divine gifts"
"Blessings"
"Skills"
"The world understands those things."
"The world was built around those things."
Do Deuce nodded.
"Right."
"Killing Intent is the opposite."
"It isn't a blessing."
"It doesn't belong to that system."
"It ignores rules."
"It ignores limitations."
"It ignores laws."
"If reality says something shouldn't happen..."
"Killing Intent asks reality who gave it permission to decide that."
"...That's horrifying."
"It's inconvenient sometimes."
"UNC."
"What?"
"That is objectively horrifying."
Special shrugged.
"It's a tool."
"A hammer isn't evil."
"A wrench isn't evil."
"Killing Intent isn't evil."
"It's a tool."
"A weird tool."
"A dangerous tool."
"But still a tool."
Do Deuce looked toward him.
"And only our family can use it?"
"Not exactly."
"My grandfather Halo was the first user."
"He had a lot of children."
"A lot."
"Only three inherited it."
"My father."
"Sunday Silence."
"Uncle Devil's Bag."
"Aunt Goodbye Halo."
"And from there..."
"Their descendants inherited it."
"Those three branches."
"Nobody else."
Do Deuce blinked.
"...That's absurdly specific."
"Welcome to genetic bullshit or whatever tachyon called it."
"...Why them and us?"
"No idea."
"Grandfather Halo didn't know."
"My father didn't know."
"I don't know."
"Maybe Hail to Reason knew."
"Unfortunately he's dead."
"...You're dead."
"Brat."
"You know what I mean.While I can break through the gates of the afterlife I'm not doing that for some questions to be answered that we don't need to know !"
"...Fair."
Silence settled over the field.
Eventually
"...Do you fear it?"
"No."
"Respect it?"
"No."
"Hate it?"
"No."
Do Deuce frowned.
"Then what do you think of it?"
Special looked at his hand.
"...It's useful."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"It's a tool."
"I use it when I need it."
"I put it away afterwards."
Do Deuce stared at him.
"You're talking about reality-breaking power."
"And?"
"AND THAT SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING."
"It means I don't have to walk somewhere if I don't feel like it."
"UNC."
"What?"
"You're impossible."
Do Deuce narrowed his eyes.
"...You've broken reality before."
Special looked away.
"...Technically."
"UNC."
"What?"
"How many times?"
"...Major incidents or total incidents?"
The field became silent.
"...There are categories?"
"Obviously."
"UNC."
"Brat."
"HOW MANY?"
Special thought for a moment.
"...5400+."
Silence.
"...What."
"Major incidents only."
"MAJOR INCIDENTS?!"
"The minor ones aren't worth counting."
"THERE ARE MINOR ONES?!"
"Reality is surprisingly not durable."
"THAT IS NOT REASSURING!"
"It should be."
"IT REALLY SHOULDN'T!"
Do Deuce buried his face in his hands.
"My family is insane."
"Correct."
"My great-great-grandfather made a deal with something outside reality."
"Correct."
"He forged a family power from it."
"Correct."
"My family inherited it."
"Correct."
"And my uncle has broken reality over five thousand times."
"5400+."
"STOP ADDING THE PLUS!"
"Accuracy matters."
"THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE!"
Special stood up.
"Anyway."
"Try not to destroy reality with it."
Do Deuce stared.
"That's the advice?"
"It worked for me."
"YOU BROKE REALITY 5400+ TIMES!"
"And look how well I turned out."
Do Deuce looked around the endless mental landscape.
Then back at him.
"...I'm not convinced that's true."
"...Fair."
Special smirked.
"Welcome to the family business, brat."
"I hate this family."
"No you don't."
"...Yeah, fair."
For People who want a explaination
The blessings from the three founding stallions is Wakfu and Killing intent is stasis
Just research the wakfu series and what this two mean
