I was confused about what was happening, why was Saemi standing in front of me? This had something to do with the shadow present from before, no, her name was Aurora, after taking a deep breath I manage to calm down from the strange situation, thinking more clearly, I realize that I am in a kind of tunnel, behind me there was an altar, the place was a little dark but it was possible to see that there was a light ahead.
"Hey you worthless bastard, don't ignore me"
As usual, the only words that came out of Saemi's mouth were insults, not that I care, as I sighed at Saemi's attitude I remembered something Aurora had spoken earlier, that's right, she had told me to pray on her behalf, following the instructions that Aurora had given me earlier, I knelt on the ground and immediately began to pray on Aurora's behalf.
"Hey you idiot, what the hell are you doing, come on and get me out of here"
Saemi kept talking but I decided to just ignore her, suddenly an image started to form in my head, it looked a lot like a status screen.
[NAME - MAKOTO TATSUYA]
[AGE - 16]
[SEX - MALE]
[MAIN CLASS - APOSTLE OF GLUTTONY]
[ACQUIRED SKILLS]
After that I opened my eyes again and saw that Saemi was looking at me with ugly eyes, I'm sure she's quite angry with me for ignoring her for so long, but well, since my goddess sent me such a good gift, I'll use it as much as I can, I'll take everything that Shinji loves, a sinister smile appeared on my face as I thought about this, Saemi jumped back and looked at me in horror.
"Y-You, what was that behind you just now?"
I was confused by what Saemi just said, I didn't feel that there was anything behind me.
"What do you mean?"
"T-There was a black shadow with blue eyes behind you now"
By this I understood what she meant, she probably saw Aurora, although I don't know how or why, however this was not something she should know, the more afraid she felt, the more dependent on me she became, the better off she would be, ignoring Saemi I start walking towards the light in front of me, it's time to see where I ended up.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Hey, don't leave me here alone”
Saemi's voice was shaking, for some reason I felt a strange sense of accomplishment within me, even though it is little, I am managing to give back, as soon as I approached the light, I put my hand on my face as I continued walking, as soon as the light faded a whole new view was in front of me, a forest with several trees to the horizon, I felt a cool air hitting my face, the smell of grass showed that this place was real.
"W-Wow, but what is this place?"
Saemi said as she looked around behind me, remembering something, I decide to ask Saemi how exactly she got here.
"How did you get here? Did you also come through the door?"
Although I say I went in, clearly, I was pushed by Shinji, but I am sure that bringing this up now would not change my situation at all, Saemi seemed irritated by my question, her face turned sullen and soon she moved away from me as quickly as she had approached.
"Don't you think you're getting too cocky? when I meet with Shinji, you'll be dead for real this time"
At Saemi's words a vein popped out of my forehead, this girl really understands the situation she's in, I really don't have time for this.
"Sure, if you say so, good luck looking for him in these woods"
I said, starting to walk towards the vastness of the forest.
"Y-You really plan on leaving me here alone?"
I simply ignored Saemi and kept walking, to tell the truth I didn't really plan to leave her, she is a crucial part of my revenge, but I also can't show that I need her, one day she will see that if she wants to be useful, she will have to obey me, footsteps of grass being trampled could be heard behind me, as I had imagined Saemi was following me, looking back I noticed that she kept looking everywhere, her expression looks like that of someone who is waiting for something to happen.
And it doesn't take long for Saemi's thoughts to come true, a little further on I hear some rustling bushes, I look back and realize that Saemi has noticed too, her legs are shaking and it seems she won't be able to get out of the place, grabbing Saemi's arm I move to a nearby tree and hide with her, as soon as the sniffle for what was inside is revealed, a white rabbit with glowing red eyes, a horn was present on its head, I'm sure that thing would hurt if it hit.
"W-What is that thing?"
Saemi said in horror, while watching the rabbit eating grass a voice appeared in my head, I easily recognized whose voice it was.
"Be careful Makoto, although it looks harmless this rabbit uses its speed and horn to impale its prey"
I mentally thank my goddess for the guidance and think about what I could do.
Thinking for a while I decide to try to kill the rabbit, I take the knife that was in my coat pocket and prepare myself.
(Good thing I took the knife out of my backpack and put it in my coat pocket, that bastard Shinji didn't even give me back my backpack)
I thought as I looked at the rabbit.
"Y-You, where did you get that knife, don't tell me that..."
Saemi looked terrified, it seems she realized what I intended to use that knife for earlier, i look at her while keeping a finger on my lips, Saemi seemed to have understood the signal as she quickly closed her mouth.
"When you defeat the rabbit call for the gluttony factor, it will eat your enemy and in return give you an ability based on the main attribute of the enemy you ate"
Said Aurora in my head, I gripped the knife in my hand tightly preparing myself for what was to come.
