My Infatuation With Death Chapter 47 : True feelings
Perspective : Thor Gild"Eeek .. shhhih.... ".I experienced a sudden, unexpected quivering sensation in my body."Ha"."It's kinda funny... I can't feel much of my back anymore"."Well that's a small price to pay for someone's life"."I anticipate that it will return to normal soon after it is free once again".I shifted Ron up a bit. Cracked my neck, as it made a satisfying popping sound."I wonder how Falisha is doing"."Haven't seen her ... since I left the tribe"."I guess she is still taking care of those sheep, left behind by that wandering shepherd once"."Always caring... that one".It was a start of a new day, inside that god forsaken cavern.The only difference was,We had been walking and walking since we all fought those large swarm of ants. Inside that weird chamber. Followed by some occasional run-ins with other swarms of ants.But these times, we evaded them. Carefully, scouting even before we blindly rush an empty suspecting room.Turned out, our friend Robin here had
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 48 : Gold and Riches beyond our wildest imaginations
Perspective : Conrad Garnier"Just who is this guy?"."First that rare mana potion and now these healing potions..... Not even one, two of them at that?"."Is he an alchemist?"."Nope .... that's unlikely"."This forest is filled with plants that could have been made an excellent potion.... at least I think so, ... could have swear..... if I had seen him harvesting any of those?"."Nope he definitely isn't an alchemist"."Come to think of it .... that weird magic of his ... particle magic.... I have heard it's name mentioned some times but never seen anyone use 'em ....huh strange".I pondered, while I stood there unintentionally staring at Kyle.Kyle caught on,"Do you need anything Conrad?".He asked.I replied,"Nope".He responded, "Sure you do .... "."Look at that leg of yours .... that's quite a nasty wound you got there".(Huh)I had completely forgotten about that. My sudden recall of my injury came with a unsuspecting searing pain, followed by a throbbing, like a heart beat.
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 49 : Welcome back to reality
Perspective : Conrad GarnierIt's funny how human psyche works? The mere sight of gold makes us forget our sufferings, It makes us blind. It makes us oblivious to the obvious abomination that lay before us.There was a huge dead centipede, whose limbs were made of gold. Yeah, nothing suspicious or ominous about that, isn't it?Truth be told, the mere sight of gold to us was like a life-giving oasis to a person desperately parched with thirst.We can't help but be drawn to that sight, It was the reason of our sufferings, It was meant to be our reward.Because,Our greed was a guiding light, that kept us going, we never faltered, never lost hope. And, when we saw what we wanted, the beacon and the fruit of our labour. We became complacent.Full filling an unspoken commitment to our fallen comrades,"so, what if we let our guards down?""So, what if we became blind to the obvious truth around us?"."Atleast that much should be allowed"."Or does it?".Standing right there, I felt noth
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 50 : Well needed rest
Perspective : Thor GildWhile we kept walking tirelessly, without a moment to rest, our exhausted bodies were on the brink of collapse. Emilia, left with no alternative, decided to take a risk, knowing that the room ahead was our only passage. With one hand on her forehead, she exclaimed, "Ahhkk" in frustration. "Keep your guards up," she cautioned. Drawing her striking crimson blade,However, due to her exhaustion and the toll taken by her excessive use of Stamina potions, Emilia's body finally gave in, and she found herself on the verge of stumbling. Yet, in that critical moment, she reacted swiftly. Steadying her blade, she drove it into the ground, using it as an impromptu cane. With sheer determination, she hauled herself back up into position, refusing to let her exhaustion hinder our progress.As she said,"Never mind".Not only was Emilia on the brink of collapse, but everyone else also struggled to maintain their composure. Each member of the group could barely stand uprig
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 51 : Nature has it's ways
Perspective : Conrad GarnierWhen you see a guiding light of hope, beyond the darkness of that deep tunnel, blinded by hope and aspiration, do you ever think what hides beside those rays of hope. The light reflecting in your eyes shines so brilliantly that it overshadows that which lurks in the corner, It obscures its origins.Just like moth to a flame, we are lured towards it. Our perception blocked by the sheer illusion of"It's finally over".But when that illusion breaks, what will we see?When reality kicks in, what will we see?As we all regained our consciousness, a wave of apprehension washes over me. Dread filled every fiber of my being as I scanned my surroundings. My heart races, pounding against my chest, as my eyes lock onto the enormous crevice in the floor. It was impossible to look away, drawing me in like moth to a flame. My gaze was fixated on the small, tiny holes that covered its surface, each one resembling an endless void.But the horror didn't end there. As if ea
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 52 : Stranded
Perspective : Emilia Verdora"Where am I ?"."Right ... the floor crumbled, and we fell below?"."Where are the others?".I opened my eyes, only to find myself alone again."Doesn't matter, I was in it alone to begin with"."So, where are we exactly?".I looked around, my vision was limited, "Go figures ... This is below that dark cavern, It only makes sense ... that it's a lot darker".I felt a sensation of heat emanating from my head, accompanied by a gentle pulsation. Instinctively, I extended my hands to investigate, nothing unexpected, I encountered a wet substance. The thought crossed my mind, "Am I bleeding?" The darkness veiled my hands from sight, yet as I cautiously rubbed my fingers together, a distinct lubrication confirmed my suspicion: I was indeed bleeding from my head."More importantly ... how did I survived?"."Or am I the only one?"."I have to find everyone else... Or ... I have to end myself to reset the loop again".Even though it was dark, I felt the cold blad
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 53 : Perspective
Perspective: Thor Gild"Hey! ... Hey! ... buddy ... wake up".I felt jolts, someone was shaking me."Thor Gild.... Thor Gild"."Shit he is bleeding"."Give me that Cloth".I heard a sudden sharp and crisp ripping noise.Opening my eyes proved to be quite a challenge, as if an unseen force was resisting my attempts. Despite my utmost efforts, my eyelids felt heavy and unyielding.Keira's call reached my ears, and I yearned to respond. However, the position of my body restricted any movement, rendering me unable to even part my lips, let alone utter a word.[Maybe he is dead]"You shut up..... can't you see he is still breathing"."Come on man wake up".Keira kept shaking, gradually my sleep induced state weakened.Eventually, I opened my eyes, followed by a throbbing surge of pain on my chest, apparently one of my ribs had been broken, and It was poking against my insides.The pain was excruciating, but I wasn't going to give in, the fact that I was still alive meant Arngrim hadn't give
My Infatuation With Death Chapter 54 : Perspective - II
Perspective : Brandon VlodskyI carefully released the buckle of my belt, separating it from my trousers, and gently encircled it around my fractured right foot."It hurts".That's when Robin asked me,"How are you holding up ?" Noticing the severity of my injury, Robin added, "Your foot seems to be quite swollen." In response, I brushed off his concern, stating, "It's none of your business. I've dealt with worse." Robin quickly apologized, acknowledging his overstep, saying, "I'm sorry, I crossed a line." I replied calmly, "Just remember to be more mindful in the future."(Who does he think he is?)(I don't need is pity)(I don't need anyone's pity)With my fumbling legs, using my great sword as a makeshift cane, I stood up.Thanks to luck, I hadn't suffered much of an injury except for my leg. Because When we fell, the squishy floor beneath my feet absorbed all the impact.And if not for that Idiot Robin who fell right over me , I would be walking just fine.As I raised my gaz

Chapter 82 : Serpent's Gaze
Perspective : Lucius SinclairI still don't know why I did that. I guess I was too bored with the routine ass stuff I did all day.Talking to people bleh !Something new and exciting, just the thought of that, maybe, caused my legs to follow suit.Following the noise I reached the location of its origins.And what I saw?Those two people, that weird women and that man, were facing off with some nasty looking individuals."Wait! I recognised them! I know them"."That insignia"." That's the insignia of the group called 'Serpent's gaze' "."Or am I getting It wrong, No I don't think so".I thought out loud,Percival responded,"Indeed and that person wielding that huge cleaver, I think they call him Baldwin".Surprised that Percival knew of such people, I asked,"You know them"."How?".He responded,"Ah yes ... I witnessed him once, Killing and brutally decapitating one of his victims".I was honestly surprised, he never told me about that, just what else he was hiding from me, It's n
Chapter 81 : A knot
Perspective : Lucius SinclairThat was the most idiotic conversation I had ever heard, I thought the guy was dumb then damn, the woman buds in and guess what? she has got nothing on him. She own herself was in a whole new level of stupid.It's like they were caged birds, first time in the open, as if they didn't knew how the world worked. Now, that I think about it, they never did tell me and neither did I bothered asking, but sure as heck they acted like that.Witnessing that, Percival commented, "She is ripping them off."I responded, "Well, I'd say they deserve it."Percival observed their behavior and mentioned, drawing an assumption from it, "Must be new around here."I responded accordingly, confirming his assumption , "You bet, who says room with a view, every room has a view."Then Percival slowly whispered in my ears, his voice filled with hesitation and concern, "Should we intervene?"I responded sternly, my words laced with indifference and detachment, "None of our
Chapter 80 : Stupid World
Perspective : Lucius Sinclair"Violence" is the term ingrained in human nature. I will go as far as to say that's what defines our very being, our stupid self serving ignorant being.Violence is an act often used as a means of last resort, when all our efforts to get through them are useless, that's when violence is utilised and yet it's funny that, it's not used that way, it's never used that way.How utterly stupid, well that's humans I guess, an organism who puts their feelings above all else, an stupid organism who thinks the best way to exist is by becoming a "Cog" in a self serving machine.And yet they forgot to account for the fact that a "Cog" is nary a significant nor a remotely crucial component of a system, well not much crucial when there are so much to go around, how utterly stupid. They forget or simply ignore the fact that they are replaceable, and there are so many of them that replacing isn't even an issue, forget about having spares, it's one thing to have spares an
Chapter 79 : Return Journey - III
"Halt," Ikbal's authoritative voice rang out, slicing through the conversation like a sharp blade. The intensity of his command reverberated through the carts, causing a shiver to run down the spines of those who heard it. As Ikbal firmly tugged on the reins of his horse, the animal let out a startled squeal, bringing the entire convoy to an abrupt stop. Confusion painted the faces of everyone present, their brows furrowing in bewilderment. Spotting Kyle slowly approaching on a separate horse, Ikbal's gaze locked onto him with a mixture of recognition and concern. His words spilled out urgently, the weight of the situation evident in his tone, "Stop.... halt! halt!" Kyle, caught off guard by the sudden halt, arched an eyebrow in confusion. His puzzled expression prompted him to ask, "What happened?" Placing his fingers against his forehead, Ikbal mulled over his response for a moment before replying, his voice tinged with a touch of uncertainty, "My wind magic is picking up on

Chapter 77 : Return Journey - II
Ustrax is the name of a legendary dragon who lived in these parts, not the name of the place. At that moment in time, the vessel state of Fasnijan' still existed, before the current Monarchy. However, the area now called the city of Ustrax, along with the snow-covered territory surrounding it, wasn't a part of it. It was an uncharted territory, with no man treading on it for centuries or decades. The frozen tundra was covered with towering trees that blocked sunlight from reaching the undergrowth. It was an area teeming with monsters, and leading them all was the legendary dragon Ustrax.However, after several centuries, during the reign of Edmund the 2nd, King of the 'Sovereign of Fasnijan,' his son-in-law, also known as the 3rd King of the 'Sovereign of Fasnijan' and famously referred to as the 'Adventurer King,' emerged. He possessed legendary adventurer skills and embarked on a perilous journey towards the salted mountain. The snowy mountains surrounding 'the city of Ustrax,' back
Chapter 76 : Return journey.
Conrad, his body weary and mind heavy from the battle, found himself compelled to spend the night at the monastery. Exhausted, he and the others set up camp, ensuring everyone had a chance to rest by taking turns on guard duty. As dawn broke, he was already awake, Conrad's right hand found solace in the familiar weight of his sword's hilt. His weary breath mingled with a silent sigh as his thoughts whispered, "Now let's return back home." The weariness of battle still clung to his bones, and a longing for the comforts of home echoed in his words. "I just want to go home and sleep in a real bed," Conrad uttered, his voice carrying the weariness accumulated over the past few days. The passing of time felt distorted, as he continued, "Can't believe it's only been a few days. It feels like years already ." The weight of recent events settled upon him, and Conrad contemplated his future. "Probably won't take any new jobs for a while now," he mused silently, contemplating the need
Chapter 75 : Echoes of Distortion
Perspective : Conrad GarnierMy mind a drift, My eyes encapsulated in that Muriel, at that depiction, the way they were presented, the way those pictures were drawn, who knows when? and who knows by whom?, it felt so ethereal, so life like, that I became completely lost in it.It was like, I am living that moment, as if those figures drawn would pop out of that wall, it was exhilarating.Surrounded by un readable text, in the middle of that moss covered Muriel, were the depiction of people or beings that lived long long ago, in this very village which is now lone and deserted, it was all so fascinating.Now, I found myself eager to delve deeper into that knowledge, so I consciously blocked out the conversations of others around me. My mind ventured freely, delving into the enigmatic secrets it sought to unravel. In that moment, I entered a trance-like state, completely oblivious to any external distractions, captivated only by the intriguing drawings and carvings before me. With unwave
Chapter 74 : Remnants long forgotten
Perspective : Conrad GarnierElkdrack's face transformed with a mix of surprise and temporary memory lapse, as he sheepishly admitted, "Ohh, I forgot there for a second. That's the reason I brought you here..." His gaze drifted towards a chest in the corner, a chest that seemed to radiate a certain majestic aura, adorned in what appeared to be metal though time had left its marks—the rusted edges and the curious growth of moss. Elkdrack gestured towards the chest and said, his words brimming with anticipation, "That chest over there contains your share of the treasure." With a blend of excitement and remorse, he proceeded to explain the origins of the treasure, his voice tinged with a mix of nostalgia and regret, "When we first entered this place, the altar was buried amidst a mound of gleaming gold coins, alongside an array of mysterious artifacts." He paused for a moment, letting the weight of his revelations sink in, before continuing, "Everyone took their share, and yours..
