You are about to stab him with the dagger, but you pause.

You remind yourself that you are now stronger, and you should stop behaving like an ordinary human. You now wield the mysterious power of those balls, and your body is much stronger.

You use the power of your perception over this person. His muscles seem weak. The strength of his body nothing special. There is no way a weak person like him can hurt you, yet alone kill you.

You grin, and purposely let fall the dagger on the floor with a bang. The frightened man turns around and attacks with all his might, hitting you on your chest several times. But his sword can’t pierce your body.

He screams when he recognises your face.

“What the fuck is going on?!” He asks as he savagely kicks the coffin. It falls on the floor and opens up. It is now clear to him that it is empty.

You walk slowly towards him. “Why so agitated my dear advisor? It’s me, your great Monarch. I’ve come from the depths of hell, just for you. Hope you haven’t forgotten about me…”

He panics and launches a series of attack. But none harm you.

He retreats and begins yelling. “Is this undead magic? Show yourself you coward, where are you hiding?! Why have you resurrected the body of the Monarch?!”

You laugh at him. He thinks a necromancer is controlling you. How wrong he is.

You speed towards him and kick him in his face. Your kick sends him flying against the wall, then he falls on the ground and bleeds from his mouth. He struggles to wake up.

You are so enjoying this. You move towards him and then launch a series of punches. It doesn’t take that long to cripple him. He now lies helplessly on the ground.

You move closer to him, and ask, “Be a good man. Tell me where I can find your brother?”

He looks at you in disgust and spits in your face. However, you dodge it.

You are angry. You’ve had enough of him.

You decide to cripple him in the most humiliating way. You pull out his eyes and afterwards you slowly cut his tongue. You are still not satisfied though.

You proceed in severing off his ears, his penis, his arms and finally his legs.

Now you feel happy. This motherfucker finally got what he deserves. You also decide not to kill him, because he will be better off if you do.

You then check if there is anything useful on him. You take this sword and a bag of 50 pieces of silver coins. You can see your face engraved on the coins.

You then waste some time learning how to pocket the sword in your belt.

You also take the dagger with you, as a memento. A memento of your first murder in this world, even though you didn’t use it to commit the murder.

Surely, this was not the best way to start your adventure. Though you relished killing him and you don’t regret it.

You walk towards the door of the chamber, exciting yourself about what you will find out there. More importantly, you have a kingdom to save and another bastard to hunt down.
