2024-10-29 19:42:56The world got twisted. Twisting morality and turning the abnormal to normal.
With her deceiving appearance, the little girl steadily looks into me. She regrew her severed arm back. The giant rabbit's head hit into her right arm and stretched forward. Its movement is so fast that dodging is impossible.
I forcefully resisted, sticking my sword between its two giant teeth. Stopped its mouth from crunching me down. A gleam of blue orange shines right inside the rabbit's throat. The blue light got bigger and bigger. I leaped sideways, immediately sensing danger.
Freezing cold wind blasted. Coating everything in ice on its range. The whole eighth floor got so cold for the moment. The coldness is going through my muscles.
I have to endure this coldness and continue fighting to survive.
“Mister, don’t make this so hard… There is no way you’ll win against us.”
(Kukukuku… Rio is correct, no way you’ll win against us… I kind of regret not eating you immediately. Rio becomes interested in you because you’re very kind to help others in need. She likes to extend her life a bit.)
“Should I be grateful for some few minutes to extend my life?”
“I can sense kindness from you, I do feel bad eating you. But this is my job or else I don’t have a place to go anymore.”
The girl said and chanted, “Spell 16: Dimensional cage.”
A transparent screen covered the whole floor.
(Woah, what is this? What is this? Rio! Could it be you wanted to play for a bit with him before eating him?)
“His kind and I wanted to play with him. So that when we devour him, we can have some few memories to recall.”
(I don’t get it but it looks and sounds fun.)
A cage to lock me down. The holes and huge crack that I can use to escape are now useless.
I tried to step into a crack hole but I didn’t fall down.
“Mister, please play with us nicely.”
“Is it really fine? The exam supervisor and some other exterminators with him are on the first floor. Some examinees are also on the first floor. It won’t take time before they notice that something is wrong.”
(Kukukuku… Foolish human… Well, everyone here is destined to be eaten by us. We have the supervisor's child in our hands after all.)
“What?”
I muttered with bewilderment.
The supervisor knows what's going to happen. And this one with the people behind this setup.
“We kidnapped his little daughter and had some negotiations with him. In exchange for his daughter's life. He needs to give us plenty of food.”
(The exam is taking place in a far away place. No one would know exactly what happened to the examinees. He immediately said yes after seeing a video of his daughter crying.)
“Well, the girl doesn’t play with us nicely and we…”
“What did you do?”
The girl rubs her belly in a circular motion and with a satisfied expression she replied.
“Of course, we ate her. The young ones are so delicious. Too bad for her. I have to savor her. Don’t think I’ll be out of me. I stabbed her head with an ice pick first, as fast as possible, and chopped her down. Some of her parts are still in my fridge. The people we eat today have a ‘Bleh’ flavor, having her flesh to wash down the people I just eat would be nice.”
(Kukukuku… The supervisor thinks that his child is still alive. What a moron.)
“I know right.”
Disgusting. These people… Is this thing even a human?
The more I live in this world, the more I believe that I’m already in hell.
This place is a place for the vilest creature in the universe.
“Let's go and have some fun mister!!”
She attacks her rabbit again. Rushing forward, desperate for a chance to get a bite.
(Munch! Munch! Munch! Munch!)
I continue running around dodging the rabbit by all means.
“Mister, are we playing tag?”
“Play on you’re own dumbass.”
She pouted her cheeks and cutely sobbed a little.
“Calling me your playmate dumbass. That means… Playmates should be nice to each other, you know.”
“I don’t care!”
I rotated my path while running and going straight toward the girl. Getting closer, I brandished my sword for a strike. Before my sword hits her, my foot slips on the frozen floor.
I slid down and slammed into the concrete pillar.
“So close… But cutting me is not enough to kill me.”
She said.
I turned my eyes to her left hand that I cut. It just regrows back. Does that mean she doesn’t have a weakness? Everything in this world has some kind of weakness. I should find it.
Consumed by my thoughts, I was unable to dodge a tackle coming from my side.
My body flew and got slammed to the wall. After the first tackle, it was immediately followed by another forceful tackle to my stomach.
Flipping my intestine, I threw up some of the meal I’d eaten this morning.
“Gross…”
I pulled all my all and grabbed the rabbit's head using my left arm. On the other hand, I stab the rabbit's head with my sword. The sword goes through like slicing butter.
The cry of suffering from the rabbit echoed. The rabbit shook its head around. Slamming both walls and pillars continuously. My hand slipped out and the rabbit caught me with his mouth. Then, I flew away, crashing down to the ground.
I lost my sword and it fell down on the floor’s dark side. All I heard was the metallic sound of its fall.
“It won’t be fun if we end this fast.”
(I’m kind of hurt… I’m just kidding… Kukukukuku…)
The wound from my stab closed down. The girl and the rabbit made a big smile, their eyes glowing scarlet red.
“Are we done playing?! Are we done playing?! What should we play next?!”
I struggled to stand up, but my hands and knees slipped on the frozen floor.
I coughed blood.
This is hopeless. There is no weapon or power to fight. I even struggle further. I would die.
However…
“I don’t want to die…”
(Idiot! Of course, no one wants to die…)
The girl caressed her chin and thought.
“Hmm… How about joining us instead? As you see, I’m a half-demon kind. I could see how kind your heart was, but this world is not very kind to kind ones. Kindred was always stepped on and looked down on by other people. I hate it…”
(Becoming one of us has its merits… How old do you think Rio was?)
“12 years old?”
I guessed.
“Kya! I’m embarrassed…”
(Rio is already 33 years old. Becoming, Demon kind, your life span will extend together with incredible ability.)
“With this power, no one can look down upon us anymore.”
Rio claimed.
Becoming a demon kind. I’m able to have access to incredible power. Immortal-like ability and strength. With that kind of power, I can go back to Paradise and kill that bastard.
I’m tempted… I’m allured to her offer… That is the only way to survive after all.
Before I opened my mouth, I agree.
The image of Kisara appeared in my eyes. I don’t know why, but her melancholic sleeping face. Her tears… Leaving her would be…
Rio walked closer to me and crouched down, reaching for her palm.
“Mister became one of us. I promise to become a wonderful playmate.”
I slapped her hand away from me.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t… I have two masters so irresponsible. I have to take care of them. If I become a demon kind, I won’t be able to see her again or hear her irritating claims. They are so irritating, I can’t leave without teaching them to become a better person!”
I said in front of Rio and cracked a grin.
“Hmm… Then, you can die now…”
The rabbit comes to swallow me whole.
The surroundings were then ignited. The transparent glass cracks down and turns into light particles. The ice melted and behind me, the wall was destroyed by a powerful blaze.
Just like the first time I met her.
Kisara appeared with her flaming scythe. Cutting through the rabbit's head diagonally and burning it into cinders.
Rio leaped back and re-grew her burned hand back.
“What is that supervisor doing?! That stupid! That stupid! Useless!”
Rio cracked her character and shouted.
“Half demon kind… I don’t like this. Weak opponents are my thing.”
Kisara said, observing Rio. She then shifted her glance at me and kicked my hand.
“Who are you calling irritated masters? Be grateful I’m here to save you again.”
She kicks me once again toward the huge crack in the wall. Making my body fall straight.
3-inches before I slam to the earth. My body was levitating.
“That expression of fear… I love it.”
Charlotte said.
“Ch-Charlotte.”
“Let’s leave everything to Kisara.”
A huge explosion happened in the building. A huge spike of ice manifested, destroying the whole building. Blazing flames swallowed the ice, turning it back into the water.
A huge white rabbit, not just the head, leaped away from the building. Mounting from the back was Rio.
“Mister, let's play again next time.”
She shouted and ran away.
“Hey! Come back here!!”
Kisara called her, but the girl was so far away she was unable to hear anything.
HarusakiThe tenth chapter already... I decided to refrain from giving every secret out and just tell fragments of the puzzle. I was happy that the novel got signed up immediately. Something I don't expect honestly, the first part would be called "Phantom Rage" (Estimated chapters 1 to 40.) Like one book. Thank you very much for your support! Returning the kindness of readers. I'll do my best to deliver stories with all of my strength. Thank you very much, god, bless you!! (May the force be with you.) (Star Wars fans know the reference.)

The bright sunshine was already gleaming past the window. Turning my head into a digital clock hanging on the wall. I noticed that it was already 9:00 in the morning. I lay my head back on the soft pillow on my back with my eyes closed for a brief moment.Yesterday I nearly crossed the line of death. I thought I was a goner and everything would end at that moment. Or the possibility of me taking the offer is likely. However, I refused after seeing Kisara’s melancholic expression on my head.Her tears I want to reach out to her and wipe them out for her. Her words of “Don’t leave me alone…” that night hurt me.What’s wrong with me being sympathetic with a girl who nearly killed me and never respecting me as a human being?I opened my eyes again after reminiscing yesterday and trying to learn something about what happened.The concrete ceiling, a fan spinning and a light bulb. Surely, this is not the apartment. After the event, my body was so exhausted I lost unconsciously. I was brough

“Do you have anything you like? A girl? A hobby?”Asked the man named Luke.“I have none of that.”“How about Kisara or Charlotte? Who do you like?”“None.”They both have screws loose in their head.“Really? I thought you were dating both of them. For the first time, I saw them being interacted with a boy. Something I have never seen before. How about we have a duel? While we’re walking in this desert.”“How about shutting up for a second?”The sun is scourging hot moving too much will only increase my body temperature.“That’s completely rude of you. It's not like I wanted to come with you in this partner mission.” Luke shot back.Just like he said there was a reason why the two of us got partnered up on a mission.♦♦♦♦♦“Red this will be you’re official first mission. You must defeat the horde of mouse demons nesting near Area 10 shelter.

After seeing the huge fire in the village nearby, Luke and I immediately responded. Dashing with all of our strength.From the sight of it, the flames aren’t something from an accident. It was obvious that the one behind this fire had intended to erase the entire village. Desperate civilians running for their lives are gunned down by unknown people in red robes.I could say that we’re too late already. Seeing how many people laying on the ground lifeless.Terror first comes into my mind and is then replaced by fury.“Don’t be overcome by your emotions. There is still hope… There are still people needing our help.”Luke said.His movement speed increased. He kicks the ground, launching himself forward. Slash and hack down enemies on his way. Three red-robed men blocking his way were immediately defeated.I agree with his statement and followed his lead.A red-robbed man landed in front of me and with a spear he thrust forward. I used the sword to block his spear and immediately move to

After that, we move to rescue the village's remaining survivors. They are alive but their eyes are filled with despair, seeing their home village turned into oblivion before their eyes.Tears are shed and grieving for the people who lost their lives.Having plenty of time, Luke and I decided to help the people by giving the killed people proper burial. Digging through the soil, gently putting each body down.Two hours after burying the people, the survivors and us put our hands together to offer prayers.“Would you like to come with us?” Area 14 shelter is a safe place to live.”I said to the survivors. They turned their heads to each other in confusion. They looked at me with hopeful eyes.“Are we really allowed to come with you?”Asked a woman.“Sure--”“--No.”Luke cut in and pulled my shoulder away and took the lead.“It’s something we’re not in control of.”“What are you saying? These people need our help. It was better if they were living in protected areas like shelters.”“Shel

Another day began, which means another work day. It’s not like I hate working. Having a place where I belong is not so bad.I turned my head left to right and still noticed the glare of other staff. Maybe saying that this is the place where I belong is incorrect., Currently, I am sitting in the cafeteria together with my masters Kisara and Charlotte. I was happily having good food on my table. Instead of stale bread which I was planning to have. Kisara lent me some money that I can use until my paycheck arrives.“You better pay me the moment you receive your paycheck.”Kisara said after she gulped the food in her mouth. She turned her spoon back to the plate and had another scoop.“Sure… There is no place for me to run away.”“So if there is a place where you can run away. You’re not paying Kisara?” Charlotte cuts in.“No… I’m still going to pay Kisara, even if the world leads to destruction.”“That’s over dramatic. If the world is going to be destroyed. Money would be useless. You s

What should I do? What should I do honestly? I thought while seating on the stone side of the fountain. There is a park inside the shelter, but I hardly think of this place as a park. Park in paradise is a beautiful place surrounded by several colorful flowers. Green trees and people smile.This park is nearly empty. No flowers, no decorations, no trees, etc. Just a chair and this huge fountain. This fountain was said to be the center of the shelter. Everything in this place is concrete. No soil for plants to grow up. Let's say there is soil, it's still impossible to grow plants because of the lack of sunlight.Multiple light bulbs aligned up above the ceiling are the main source of light inside the shelter. When the clock hits 6:00 PM, the light bulb will be turned off and only a few street lights will be turned on. The scale of the shelter isn’t as wide as I thought. 105 by 68 meters of land and building structures. The population of 950-1000.They only allowed people with permissio

“You sure are amazing...”I said in awe and touched some of the items laying around. What is this curved wing-like metal anyway? After looking for a minute, the item in my hand snapped out and fell. I immediately went into a panic thinking that I was the cause.“I’m not amazing like you think I am…”Chiwa said, followed with a heavy sigh. Walking to me, she took the snapped metal-like wing and continued.“... This is a homing boomerang… I design this to chase down the target no matter where they run… My design is not good enough. This item is a failure. Together with dozens of items here. Now, I feel pathetic boosting myself as a great inventor without any foundation.”“I do think some of the items here look cool. Like this mechanical spider. This one looks fine.”“That’s a failure too... I wanted to create something like Robbopi on my own. But they don’t have the intelligence I strive for. They are normal robots compared to Roboppi… Because of my failure, Roboppi is always alone here

There are lots of turn in the street I have no idea where Chiwa go. I pause and turned my head left and right. I lift my head and remember the time Kotori and Charlotte chased me.Channeling my strength on my feet. I jump u the wall and used the pipe as a stepping stone to reach the rooftop. Having the high ground my vision widens. There were not lots of people strolling around.Moving objects are easy to notice.I run around leaping on the rooftop searching for Chiwa.What am doing right? Chiwa might be his wife, but the abuse Chiwa experienced was wrong.Based on what I heard earlier, Chiwa is being sold for money. That’s why she becomes that old man’s wife. I never thought that her life is this complicated.If she is escaping there is only one place where she can go.I immediately headed toward the dark alley manhole near the fountain. I flipped open the cover and go down.In her workshop… That is the only place where she can hide.My intuition is right on the money.“Chiwa…”Chiwa

Chapter 340: True happiness (END)
I have a dream… A very very long dream. A dream about me in the past. For a weird girl like me, childhood is rough. My family wasn’t as caring, but still, I’m grateful for the life they gave me.Without them, I would be unable to experience everything I’ve been through.Life comes in many flavors. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's bitter. Sour days always come and there is a stale, tasteless day of boredom.Back in Japan I only care about myself. I never thought that I would need someone at my side. I always think that I can do everything on my own.I keep proving that everyone else around me was wrong. I accumulate money and live alone. It was fun being able to do anything without someone yelling at you. This freedom and loop of happiness. Being a slave to pleasure is for sure. If not made moderate, it will surely destroy someone’s life.Where am I again? I see, I’m back in my house again.Waking up early in the morning, there as I wake up Marie and Shuri playing with Shirone and
