Chapter seven

     <*yawn* that was a nice nap. Hmmm..are you the one who woke me up?>

     The strange voice was coming from inside of Nicholas's head and to call the thing he was 'hearing' a 'voice' was somewhat of a misrepresentation. Nicholas didn't actually hear a voice since there was no sound being made at all. The 'voice' was a direct stream of information that stabbed into Nicholas's consciousness which struggled to decode the foreign signal then when it failed to find a way to translate the foreign signal, it found the closest equivalent to match the signal and turned it into 'sound' that was meaningful to Nicholas.

     Nicholas didn't know any of this. He just felt like his head was being consumed by fire ants and then he heard something that was a voice and at the same time wasn't a voice talking to him.

     Nicholas's shadow suddenly started to distort and bubble in a very strange way. It slowly transformed from a two dimensional image lying flat on the floor into a three dimensional figure with no discernable features or gender.

     Nicholas stared at his former shadow with slack jaw amazement, "What are you?"

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

     The answer didn't come from the shadow but from the voice that wasn't a voice that was inside of his head.

     Nicholas remembered the previous announcements and asked, "Are you the new deity? The new god that seeks the destruction of everything?"

     "Wait, what? This doesn't sound like a storyline from the game."

     The shadow suddenly dived into Nicholas's chest and disappeared into his body.

     The last thing Nicholas felt before he passed out was an unbearable amount of pain that made him think that his mind was about to explode.
