I think I'm dead. Actually I'm pretty sure I died, wanna know how I can tell?

'Status'

…

Nothing is happening. Yeah, that proves that I'm dead. 'Status' is a very powerful, yet simple magic spell, which can be used by everybody (especially since it doesn't cost any mana). It doesn't even matter in what situation you are. Even if all your bones are broken and your organs are missing, you can still use this spell.

But right now, I can't.

Yeah, I'm dead.

While pondering and thinking about more stuff that could prove the end of my miserable mortal life, a bright light appears. So that's the 'light at the end of the tunnel', huh? Well it certainly is bright and warm. So warm. What a pleasant feeling. I slowly drift to this light, but then I fell something else. Coldness. There is something cold behind me, something cold that feels very familiar. I turn around and see a small, cold and black flame.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Ah...

My hate.

I try to reach my flame, but small tentacles made out of light grab me and pull me away from it.

“Stop, small soul! If you continue on your path there will be no salvation! There will be no love, no warmth and no happiness! Only the cold of hate will await you!”

… is that so? So I have to either give up salvation or my hate?

…

Fuck you. I will not betray my emotion. Betraying my hate would betray my wife and daughter! There is no way I can do that!

I struggle and after a while I manage to break free and reach the flame. In an instant the flame bends toward me and starts burning whatever form I am in right now.

Oh it feels so cold...

After a bit it seems I was completely consumed and my consciousness kinda changed places as I become the hate. Then, something interesting happens.

Requirements for 'Path of the cold soul' fullfilled.

Have fun on your Path to true darkness, Cold lord.
