"Why...?" I questioned him silently, I couldn't even lift my head to look straight at his face."Why, you ask?" He spoke with an irked tone as he then placed both of his hands to the side of his head."Every day, every month, every year I did my best to make my parents acknowledge me. I tried and tried again, yet it was still not enough. Because of you, I desperately seek for help, I did every possible thing to improve myself to make them acknowledge me!""I know I don't have any 'talents' in particular that can make them look at me like how they look at you, and unlike you, I can only desperately cling to this label called 'son' while hoping they won't lose their love for me.""You can never escape your past... You've made my life miserable, but..." He placed his hands to my head, "What I hate the most about you is that all your life, you've wanted to run away from this fact... You're the imperfect, yet you dare go against your own creator!"I..."You're just a fake version of him, w
In some place that was outside of time, two transcendent beings was having a conversation with one another.The one that was shining brighter than the sun, this being called «Creator» spoke."To be alive, to have this rare and brief experience in an expanse of nothingness, is itself valuable. Without life, there is no possibility of happiness or suffering. And yet, it is for that very reason that the act of existence carries such tremendous meaning."The «Creator» raised it's tentacle-like arms and caught a falling leaf, that slowly crumbles upon landing, before continuing, "In this cold, meaningless and dead universe, we as living beings have the privilege, and the power, to create our own values and our own meaning. As we live, we create the meaning of our lives with our own hands. This is what makes life so valuable.""How tragic for someone like him go experience it's curse... No person should ever have to go through such pain."The mood suddenly turns bleak and silent.It didn't
As soon as the barrier had shattered, Arthur flew holding his sword on his hand and tried to slash Roche off."Roooooooche!!"Clang-!Before his sword could even touch Roche's face, Roche impassively blocked his attack by turning his whole arm into metal."Roche! How dare you!!!"Crack-!"!!"Noticing that his metal arm began cracking, Roche redirected Arthur away by making his sword slide past though from hand to his elbow before following up with a punch that sent Arthur away."Gah!" Roche hit him on his stomach with full force and enhancement. Arthur spew out blood from his mouth as he flew over and hit the wall."Arthur!" Lumine hurriedly hopped down to the center and helped Arthur get up. She took a brief glance to where Roche is, and saw him being apprehended by the teachers."Arthur.... You must die...." Roche mumbled under his breath. The teacher that was on top of him heard this as he glanced toward Arthur's direction, seemingly confused."Stay down, chil-!?" "Haaa!" The te
As soon as Arthur hopped down from third floor building, he hurriedly ran to where most people usually gather. To a place that was far from Roche, who was in the arena, and near the fountain and the statue of the Moon God.When he reached his destination,"«VIRUSES»...? How annoying." He abruptly stopped running after seeing five people, who had an unusual-looking clothes that look like from a modern place that was more advanced from Athan's previous life.Their clothes had an red lines. It was tight fitted and they wore black gloves that had red lines and a metal armor that was like the base plate for a robot. It had a red core in the middle; where the starting point of the red lines.It was at this moment his heart started beating faster. His heart pumped blood faster than it ever did before. Both of his legs filled with strength despite their wobbling.However."Is she here, too...?"Arthur looks at the five people and sighed heavily in relief after a moment."At the very least, hi
After reaching the academy,"Why..?I was left shocked from what I was seeing."No please do- Gah!"One of the unnamed students begged for mercy, only to be cut in half by a long-horned humanoid creature.They looked quite similar to normal demons, except for the color of their reddish horns from their foreheads."What is this...?"The moment I saw piles of dead bodies in front of the gate, I suddenly felt an unfamiliar feeling like a string was cut into two.Tak-!At the same time, I could hear the robotic voice in my head talking.[Hiatus Break : 14%]I slowly walked inside the gate. Everytime I turned my head to look around, I could only see students fighting a True Demons, or blood, or dead bodies everywhere... ቿሀቿዪሃሠዘቿዪቿ.Tak-!The second string snapped at the same time as the system inside me spoke up.[Hiatus Break : 17%]Why did this happened...? I subconsciously looked down, only to see myself being reflected to the blood of one of the students.[Hiatus Break : 20%]I went in
[2:52 P.M.]After taking the life of their companion, I went and flew forward to the guy from earlier."This planet doesn't need any more trouble, so go back to where you belong." Both our swords clashed at each other as I said so... Why does this feels like I've already said this before?He bought his sword up to the side of his face and deflected it to the side, the sword sparkled as they clashed."Haaa!! This is for killing Roxia!""I'll make sure to wipe the five of you off this planet." This too.... Just what the hell is going on?I ignored my thoughts and focused my attention forward. I wasn't planning on blocking his attack as I faced him head-on. "Take this!"I thrust my sword forward after letting his sword pass above my head, and aimed it towards his chest. However, before my attack could even reach him, I noticed a bright beam of light behind him coming towards us."!!?"Thankfully, after I hit the man on his cheeks, I was still able to react quickly as I slashed my sword d
"Sis...ter..."Seeing my hands penetrating Inside her body, I was stunned that my whole body froze in place like ice. What did I just do? Why just happened?Why am I trying to kill Arthur?My mind was filled with this questions. I slowly removed my hand, as the blood begun to gush out from the hole I made on her body, and backed away by a few step. "What a troublesome little brother..." Cossette mustered up the courage to say this with a smile. She approached me and caressed my cheeks with her bloody hands. "Don't cause some trouble next time... Alright?" She proceeds to let go. While holding her stomach with her left hand, she fell on her knees. She could no longer raise her head because of her weakened body. Pretty soon, she'll die from the amount of blood lost."N-no..." Stuttering, I hurriedly turned around and saw other students looking at me. Their eyes meant the same. They looked at my direction as if they were seeing a monster for the first time.The next thing I knew, I r
"Ah..."I stare over my mother's lifeless body for a moment, as I begin to feel concern. I feel the tears spring to my eyes, as I realized what happened. Her remains were only an upper part of her; his head and right arm were left. Other than that, her left arm and lower part are already eaten by the monster."Mom..." I fell on my knees as I nuzzle her shoulder, gently at first, wanting to wake her up... But the tears begin to fall, as I realized something terrible, and I begin to sob hysterically, as I stare at my mother's lifeless body."Mom!!! PLEASE, wake up... I BEG OF YOU!!! WAKE UP..."I begin to cry in earnest.The tears continue to fall, as I watch her eyes grow cold, and the light fade from them. I can't believe it... How could this happen? How could I possibly go on with my life, knowing that I will not have your warm, embracing arms to hold me, anymore?I know that I will never stop missing you, for the rest of my life. Even so, I continue to cry, as my life becomes a li
