Badump.

My best friend died in front of my eyes and I wasn’t able to save her. When I realised what happened, my mind kept working nonstop. Pictures of our time together were flowing through my head. My chest felt hot, it was a bursting pain, was it because of the injuries I received or because of the loss of Kylie? I didn’t know. I thought about how we first met in the village, how we travelled around, the fun we had, the memories we shared together.

I knew that this person was now dead, I got depressed and sad. I kept criticising myself for being so weak. For underestimating the enemy. I thought of things which had to do with Kylie, but when I came back to reality, she was dead and I would never be able to talk to nor see her again.

I realised that that was the end but I didn’t want it to be true. I didn’t want to let her go and before I knew it, tears were flowing down my face. Tears? I haven’t cried at my mother’s death, I haven’t cried at my brother’s death but now I am crying?

Why?

My brain stopped working, time stopped flowing and I stopped moving.

Badump

Why did this have to happen? Wait, what happened again? Why am I crying? What was I doing here? Why did I live?

Bad…

My heart stopped.

Was that the end? Didn’t I have something left to do?

When my heart stopped, I fell to the floor, with my head hitting the hard metal.

Death. What was that again?

…

I lied at the floor not moving. The thought that I had something left to do was flowing in my head. It was unbearable. I didn’t feel any pain but I couldn’t bear the thought of having something left to do.

I wasn’t able to resist anymore, so I stood up again and opened my eyes. When I looked down at my body, or what was left remaining. I didn’t feel anything when I looked down and saw that half of my body was missing, while the rest was in a really bad shape. My heart didn’t beat. I shouldn’t be able to live, but here I was moving. You could say I was a like a zombie.

Suddenly some of my memories came back one after another. I remembered the pain, the rage I went through.

Bad…

My heart started beating again slowly.

Badump.

Now it beat like it was supposed to, but odd enough, it increased its speed even further. Rage overcame me when I remembered the feelings I had. And before I knew it, my thoughts were transported into the white space. But that time it wasn’t the white space I was in. That time it was pitch black. It was darker than the mana sphere and filled with emotions like rage, hatred and bloodlust. A normal person would have received an instant mental breakdown but what was with me? I already had one so I had nothing to lose.

I was trapped in that darkness, but I was fine with it. I didn’t care. I gave away the control over my body to my feelings. I let the emotions which screamed revenge, kill them, and much more handle everything. I sat in the black space and just watched what was about to happen from then on.

I knew that my body wasn’t under my control anymore, because the dark energy I normally emitted, went berserk. When I fought before, I would focus my energy and mana to support me and would never let it leak out too much. But this time was different. The black mana was going wild as much as it wanted without restraint. My body was moved by the goal to kill, to get revenge on those who killed Kylie, on those who let me suffer so much.

Step after step, I gave in to the darkness for power. I went through the tunnel back to the room with the sword. My first aim was to kill everyone in there. Until my body reached it, I had a few thoughts.

Perhaps the SS danger level chaos dragon felt the same when it went berserk. Did it have to go through the same as me? I wouldn’t wish anyone to go through this.

My thoughts were interrupted by screams. Screams of agony and fear. When I focused to look through my eyes, I saw 2 humans who probably were the guards there.

Why did they scream? In my opinion they are perfectly fine. There are their bodies, over there are their limbs and I probably have 1 head in my hand. Nothing missing, right? No wait, 1 head is missing.

Their remainings were dispersed on the ground and I could feel that my hand was crushing something.

Some more humans were coming in my direction because of those screams. When they saw the situation, they also screamed but this time my body didn’t do anything.

“M... Monster! Hoy, we need help he…”(Human)

Now it moved, and his head was gone. The others just watched frightened. Now everyone knew that something was wrong. A lot of humans were moving in my direction and preparing to fight but before they could do anything, all of them died one after another. The favourite move of my emotions was to have mercy and just behead them.

The human leader, James with his comrade, as well as Matt and Rose also noticed the screams and walked over slowly. Before they reached me, I could hear a disgusting voice talking.

“We are almost finished with the ritual, what is it now?”(Human leader)

With James in the front and Rose in the back, they arrived at the scene. When they saw the pool of blood as well as all of the corpses they changed their expression. They stopped acting high and mighty and were on guard.

“What happened here? Who or what are you?”(James)

I know them. They had something to do with what I wanted to do. Now, I know, didn’t we fight a few minutes before? Why can’t they recognise me? It doesn’t matter.

I thought to myself. It was silent until I was awoken by a sudden statement.

“Is Kylie already dead or did you just leave her alone?”(Rose)

Everything went silent. Slowly, also memories of Kylie came back. I could once again remember some things we did together, like how we met, how we helped people with money and some more.

The people on her side just looked at her and wondered why she would provoke me further after what happened.

“You know I even had the chance to save her with that talisman here. It can heal 1 wound instantly.”(Rose)

She said and showed me something. After that she started laughing.

Was death something funny?

In the next instant my body moved with the intention to kill and Rose’s right arm with the talisman as well as the human leader’s head was missing. I stood behind the group and held those in my hands. I started smiling and laughing like an insane person and crushed them.

I remembered everything now. How they betrayed me, how they killed Kylie, how they took her away and now they even had the guts to make fun of her. When I did, my mind was blank and my body was filled with the intention to kill. The final sentence I could say was.

“I will make sure that no one will leave this island alive.”(Me)
