I woke up in the middle of the night. The tent was slightly ruffling from the wind, but there were screams coming from somewhere near. I quickly put up my new clothes which were still painted by blood but not broken like my old ones, grabbed my new sword out of the sheath. and run outside to see what is going on.
What the fuck is that noise? Did monsters attack or did someone just saw something
"What the fuck is going on" I said to the other people who ran out of their tents
"Seems like another person woke up from the battle" One soldier without an arm said.
"I am going to check. Anyone want to go with me?" I say while starting to head to the place where screams are coming from
All the people shake their heads one after another and start to head back to their tents.
Why did i go and volunteer to check? I though someone would say what he would check instead. Why are all these people pussies. I guess I'm fucked
I start to walk over the countless corpses. My boots stepping on heads, torsos, fingers and all other body parts. Some chunks stick to them. And the screams keep getting louder as i keep walking. Finally reaching the destination i see a soldier lying on the ground screaming for help. His body looks broken and he has no legs, only 1 arm and the rest of his body looks fine.
"Hey you please help me. I want to live, I have a family with 3 kids. Please" He says this with sorrow in his voice
"You look like you will die soon, you have no legs, you can't walk, and there are no wizards who can heal you around" I say looking at him, while standing above him
"Then please help my family after i die, there should be 20 gold pieces near my belt, please deliver them to my wife and kids. They live in the Vix village and my wife's name is Angela" He says as tears roll down his face, him already accepting the imminent death
I hold up the sword which i was carrying while walking and get ready to kill this man
"Thank you" he says in a weak voice
The sword pierces his chest, he lets out his last cream and then silence engulfs us. The wind stops gushing, the crows remain silent, and it sounds like the whole world stops just to mourn what just happened
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
What is that floating to the sky? It looks like his soul is travelling to heaven
"Absorb"
the soul stops in its tracks and it looks like its going down back to earth screaming, then in enters me and I feel a pain i have never felt before. Emotions start to go rampant. I feel agony, despair, death, sadness. Its too much. I fall down to my knees and start screaming, then i pass out on the spot.
I wake up in my tent, still with all my things, but Marcus standing near my bed.
"So what happened?" I say while trying to remember what happened
"The screaming stopped then we head another scream that sounded just like you. It was much louder so we all decided to check up on you. We saw you passed out, it looked like you were trying to take a pouch from a person you ended. Looks like you haven't killed many people yet" He says chuckling
"I have killed before but not in this manner" I say while observing Marcus
"So could you give me the pouch? I was told to deliver it?"
"Of course, here it is. Now I'll be heading out with everyone to gather some food. We'll soon be travelling out of this place back to one of the cities." Marcus says while leaving my tent
Finally he left, and i also got free gold from that nice. Now let's test out the ability
"Use soul" I say waiting for something to happen.
What the fuck, was i imagining that i got something? No it must be real
*** PLEASE SELEFT KEY FRAZE YOU WANT TO USE TO FULLY ABSORB THE SOUL ***
Your next words you say will be selected as the activation
I guess i get a choice. I think putting the same thing as when i absorb the soul and use it would be the smartest thing to do, but if it souls gain another function than i think i will miss our. I got it
"Consume" I say quite quietly as that people outside do not hear me
