Jacob is sitting with Mallory in the infirmary with N's corpse lying on an operation table.

Mallory: "Why did you bring me here again?"

Jacob: "Well...I figured if you're good with weapons...I thought you'd be good with organs."

Mallory: "...Those are literally two completely different things, but I guess I'll try."

Mallory starts to examine N's corpse.

Mallory: "Jesus, poor guy...was this from the-"

Jacob: "The wolf omen? yup."

Mallory: "Hmm, I'm seeing a lot of scratch marks, weird...his veins are popping all over his remaining left side, almost like he was in some rush? I'm surprised he didn't faint from this amount of blood rushing through his body."

Jacob: "What about the chunk of his body missing?"

Mallory: "I was getting to that."

Mallory continues to examine the missing right side of N's upper body.

Mallory: "It could be a jab? but assuming that this omen isn't that large in size, plus the impact looks relatively circular so it couldn't be the cause of a fist because the impact would have to be close to the shape of a fist...so if it's this circular could it be...some kind of beam?"

Jacob: "You're telling me this omen can blast a giant beam like Lizard globe?"

Mallory: "What's lizard globe?"

Jacob: "Nevermind, anyway, I have a theory about this."

Mallory: "Being?"

Jacob: "N isn't dead."

Mallory: " You do see the corpse in front of you, right?"

Jacob: "Yes, but, listen...let's just wait.."

N wakes up lying down on a bloody floor.

N: "What the?"

N sits up from the blood floor to see a shadowy figure sitting on a black tree stump with horns curving forward around its head and wings decaying ends and a tail with an arrow shape at the end of it.

??: "Howdy."

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

N: "What the?"

N slowly tries to grab his katana but notices nothing on his shoulder.

??: "No point trying, it's not like you're the one who got sucked into this stupid piece of metal."

N: "I don't know what weird fever dream you've got me in but I'm not going with it!"

N tries to move but can't move an inch.

N: (What now?)

N turns back to see a giant dark face with curved eyes and sharp triangle teeth.

??: "Listen here you little mortal, I'm not letting anyone order me around and I sure as hell ain't gonna start now. So starting now-"

The giant face pulls out a big black hand with claws and points at N.

??: "You're gonna be my new toy!"

N: "The fuck?"

??: "I'm gonna use your body, kill everyone in this shithole, and take back my name from our lord"

N: (Our lord?) "Look, I couldn't give a fuck about everyone around but there's no way in hell I'm letting you order me around-"

A finger appears in front of N's face.

??: "Don't care, didn't ask, BYE!"

The demonic figure FLICKS N causing N's head to pop off and be sent flying away.

??: "Now then, how do I get the fuck out of here?"

Mallory: "Okay, I think we've waited long enough I think it's time we-"

N's body starts to shake as his body and right arm start to regenerate as he wakes up.

N: "Where am I?"

Jacob: "Welcome back, dumbass."

Mallory slowly slithers away and SLAMS the door shut.

N: "What's her deal?"

Jacob: "Well I mean, you did just come back to life."

N: "What?"

Jacob: "Lemme explain, first things first, do you remember anything after we sent you kill that omen?"

N: "No..not really."

Jacob: "This is exactly my point. N, right now, you're being used by that weapon you found."

N: "What do you mean?"

Jacob: "That katana that you're using? it's possessed...by a powerful omen at that."

N: "So why are you just keeping this thing around?"

Jacob: "That's the thing, 500 years ago, when my great great great grandfather had a katana just like yours and when he encountered the omen that he couldn't defeat on his own, he used his SYN to seal the omen within his katana, and now 500 years later, a school was built on this katana...I was hoping that I wouldn't have any issues with this."

N: "And you let me just have this thing?"

Jacob: "It's strange...it was sealed under hundreds of feet underground and imbued in Syn-infused marks all over those chains...yet you picked it up just fine."

N: "I don't get it...how come it came out for me and not you?"

Jacob: " I was planning on destroying it once we found out the source of the omen, and I'm still trying to figure out why it's so attached to you. Which is why I didn't take it away from you and wanted to watch and see how the sword would react with you as its holder...and so far it seems to really like you."

N: "Is that why I'm not dead?"

Jacob: "Yep, you've basically died about twice now and you've come out just fine."

N looks at the katana and grabs it and shows it to Jacob.

N: "Can't you just break it now? and get one extra omen out of the way?"

Jacob: "Watch this."

Jacob grabs the Katana from N and holds it straight.

Jacob: "Shatter."

The katana BREAKS into hundreds of pieces and drops on the floor of the infirmary.

N: "That didn't look so hard-"

Jacob: "Wait for it..."

The piles of pieces burn in red flame and the katana reforms without a scratch.

Jacob: "As long as this omen is in the katana, the katana will refuse to break. So I think that with destroying the source of the omen, this fucker goes bye-bye too."

N: "So I'm just cursed with this thing?"

Jacob: "Seems like it. Now come with me while I-"

N: "Aren't people gonna freak out that I'm kind of a zombie?"

Jacob: "Relax. I got this."

Jacob walks up to everyone within the training room.

Jacob: "Hey everyone! let's have a quick breakdown, yeah?"
