Jujutsu Kaisen: The Traveler

Chapter 1

Somewhere within the ever-expanding cosmos, a certain planet exists. The people that live on this planet call it, Earth.

*crackle!*

*BOOM!*

Unfortunately, as beautiful as it was, that world is currently on its way to destruction. Lands filled with greens are now being shattered. Volcanos that used to be an attraction are now erupting at the same time. The sea that used to serve as the source of life is now dying. And skies that were once a jewel, are now filled with stains of darkness.

To say that Earth had become the very image of what one would think of hell is, is pretty undeniable at this point. Fortunately though, or unfortunately, depending on how one can see it, no one is left to witness and experience this hellish scene anymore. Meaning, that for a lot of reasons, the people or any living beings that used to occupy this world are not there anymore.

As of now, they are all... gone already.

Actually, except for one. Cause in a certain part of the planet where the nation called Japan used to exist, a certain guy can be seen. He is lying down on the ground while silently gazing at the darkened sky.

This guy is Yuki. The sole survivor, and the only one that was left to witness the world as it met its final moments.

But a survivor he might be, branding him alive is quite a stretch really, one might say. Cause currently, even though his expression doesn't make it obvious, his chest, has a gaping hole big enough to fit an entire hand in there. And to make his situation much worse, as if it wasn't already, his right arm and the entirety of his lower body are also missing.

A bloody mess, that's one way to explain his current situation.

To make the long story short, he was now as good as dead. And the only thing that was keeping him alive right now even though a lot of his blood was lost and his heart wasn't there anymore, was due to a strange energy he possessed called 'Aura'.

To explain what the Aura is, it's a complicated but strong source of energy that Yuki has full control over. He can use it in unique and various ways, enough to make him stand toe to toe with this world's strongest beings, making him one of the strongest in the process.

But alas, all this feat doesn't mean much when you are finally nearing death's door.

*sigh*

Yuki could only sigh as he noticed that his Aura reserves, is depleting at a rapid pace. This isn't really a surprise though because normally, using Aura as a substitute life source isn't the best idea. One of the reasons why that's the case is because it consumes so much Aura.

But of course, given Yuki's situation, it's not like he has much choice. At this point, he could do nothing anymore other than control his Aura as efficiently as he could to minimize the consumption of the technique he's currently using.

Allowing him to stay alive much longer.

"Roughly five minutes... I guess that's the best I could do." Yuki laughingly muttered to himself as, after making a quick calculation, found out that he was just a couple of minutes away from seeing the other side.

Though, given the severity of the current situation, Yuki wasn't actually scared or angry. At least not so much, cause his frustrations alone... overpowered all those emotions combined. And he could only sigh as he started remembering the thing that frustrated him the most in the past.

"If only that guy didn't die, this world would not have ended like this."

Well, this world, even though it was filled with strong humans called heroes, Yuki being one of them... turns out it's still not enough to defend against much stronger beings that seek nothing but chaos. Originally, this world has someone who balances everything out. Someone who serves as the beacon of hope when all hope seems lost.
