"Oh. oh my god, I don't think.. I can stand now." The birds have already long stopped their songs, and yet it was only now that Lina was finally able to calm her heavy breaths. If it wasn't for the air conditioning in Kyle's room, then she would have definitely been drowned in her own sweat by now. "I think... I will need to visit my doctor later. I.. I don't think what we did was healthy." The sun outside was already harshly seeping through the cracks on the newspaper covering Kyle's windows as he lay on his soiled mattress... which he now definitely needed to replace. "I.. I'm.. tired, but I also feel refreshed for some reason." "..." Kyle turned to look at the woman who was resting on his chest, only to see her face completely red; the short strands of her hair, sticking onto her flushed checks. Lina also turned to look at him, before just leaning closer and casually placing her lips on his, "I... need to go, Kyle.. my phone's been vibrating like crazy for the past two
"Why don't you drink this, Kyle?" "Why... why are you doing this to me!?" "Isn't it obvious? You're a Lowborn dickhead." Kyle was once again on the floor of the lavatory-the familiar sncll of sulfur and ammonia, piercing his nose, but then again, it wasn't familiar back then. He wanted to lift his head, but every time, a foot stepped on his head to bring him back to the dirty floor. "Drink it. Don't worry, we boiled it so it's clean." "..." The only thing that Kyle could really do was watch as Rex spat on a glass filled with every dirty thing that one could find inside the school.. and the lavatory. "Drink it or we'll break your bones." "W... what?" Kyle could only hear the sound of his own heart as the glass was placed in front of his face-the smell, almost causing his stomach to implode there and then. "Oh, don't vomit.. or we'll make you drink that as welI." "Please.. please stop doing this," Kyle begged, but it seemed they liked it even more as they lifted him up
The second time. This is the second time that Kyle was seeing someone being eaten in front of him-and in broad daylight at that. And as he compared the two instances, Kyle couldn't help but think of how different the scenery was. When Arachnea ate Rex, she didn't look as... beasty as the arachne in front of him right now. It was obvious why, though. If you exclude Arachnea's spider parts, she was probably the most beautiful woman that Kyle has ever laid eyes upon. As for the Arachne in front of him, its skin was completely grey: its face, more akin to that of a dried-up skull. It was... ...Disgusting. "Brittany!" Kyle then woke up from his mild stupor. The girl he just pulled away from harm, now rushing toward the arachne. The girl stretched her arms to the side, summoning a set of daggers in each hand as she did so. "Let.. let go of her!" And while the arachne was busy devouring her friend, she stabbed it right in the neck. "...Kh." The arachne, bowever, still scemed
No knife. Words that Kyle most probably did not want to hear with his current predicament. He subtly started scanning the floor if maybe it fell down somewhere, but the only thing he could see dropping beneath his feet was the blood dripping from his right arm, as well as the blood of the Arachne that sprayed on him like a fountain. "..." Kyle then turned his eye to the arachne in front of him, before carefully glancing at the one behind him. And with the way they were just standing there, it would seem he wasn't the only one that was aloof-their seemingly lifeless eyes, squinting as they watched his every movement. Were they wary of him because he was covered in the blood of their kin? Although the intelligence of these spiderladies was obviously lower than that of Arachnea, they should still have enough brains to recognize him as a threat. But the thing is, Kyle wasn't exactly a threat right now. Kyle then very carefuly looked down the window, and as soon as he saw several a
"..You again?" "Eh?" Kyle and the girl stared at cach other for a few seconds, both seemingly confused but for different reasons-Kyle thought the girl would have been out of the building by now, as for the girl, she definitely thought she would be dying here today. "Have you seen Katherine? Dr. Halsey?" "Huh?" "Dr. Halsey, have you seen her?" She still seemed visibly stunned, unable to really say aything as she just stared at the dead arachne in front of her. "..." Kyle could really only wait for her to recover from the stupor she found herself in. He started looking around to see if there was anyone else there, but the only thing he could see were three other arachne blocking the way down to the ground floor-all dead. And judging by the dozens of familiar-looking knives pierced through each of them which made them look like a group of porcupines, they were killed by none other than the shriveling girl with her butt on the floor. They did say these Arachnes were of t

Kyle hadn't really felt anything from all the corpses he had seen and literally stepped over since the chaos started. Those deaths were out of his control, after all-he knew that. But this-their limbs were torn, necks mangled, and lives lost-This was his fault. Four people. Four people that could have still been alive if only Kyle had left Bob and his friends for dead back on the construction site. In the first place, why did he even ask Dr. Katherine to save them? Kyle already knew they were.. evil people. If it wasn't him they were targeting and bullying, it would have been someone else-that is the kind of people they were. He already managed to get rid of Rex, three more shouldn't have been a problem. "..." And even as Bob and the others ran and passed by him, the only thing that Kyle could do was watch and stare at them. "Kyle!?" And finally, as he heard Sophie's voice screaming into his ear, he finally woke up from his stupor and turned around. This wasn't the time t
"...Full Recovery." "..." "Full Recovery." "Full Recovery... Full Recovery." Kyle no longer knew how many times he had uttered those words-no, he wasn't even aware that it was escaping his lips. [Full Recovery] truly is a useful skill, the ability to instantly rccharge yourself and basically have unlimited stamina will always prove to be indispensable in a battle. There was, however, one thing that the Full Recovery skill did not recover and that was mental exhaustion. A minute. An hour. Maybe an entire day? Of course, Kyle knew it was impossible that a day had passed. He was just feeling it-like he was in some sort of trance, a lucid dream where he wakes up from time to time to see a never-ending vision of violence. He was blacking out, and each time his vision clears, he sees his hand swinging toward an Arachne's neck. He wasn't even thinking anymore. It was like he was a spectator of his own body-he was still in control, but it was more akin to someone control
