Warning: this chapter will be the most extreme one I have made up to this point. There will be graphic scenes about a child under the age of 18 being tortured. Please read with caution.
I wander the green fields full of cows, elk, and wild animals, perfectly kept.
As I wander, I find a small town. As I walked in, it was cozy, it was small but nice and calm.
But that calm was weird if it was quiet to quiet, no kids playing, just a dead calm silence like a vacuum where no sound could exist or escape. It was fresh but without a smell, no food, no rot, just nothing.
But then I hear something faintly painful scream, if you were in a group talking with someone, you wouldn't hear. I knew I should leave.
But I just couldn't, so I walked towards the sound. It was ear-piercing, then I saw a girl, barely seen 10, I watched in pure horror as I heard them screaming, "YOU DAMN WHORE SEDUCING EVERY MAN YOU SEE."
Then the comments appear.
[rotten luck for that brat.]
[who told her to sneak into the male MC's room at night.]
[But guys, their rooms are right next to each other. She could have just made a mistake]
[mistake my ass, she knew what she was doing]
My eyes widened even if she did sneak into his room, which equals her being skinned, then I puked from not only the stench of blood but her body, then they stopped and stared at my hiding space.
"HOW'S THARE? COME OUT!"
I step from behind the bush and stare at them, "What the hell are you people doing?" I knew what, but I wanted to hear it from them.
"We're teaching this whore a lesson that she thinks she can seduce men.
Then the little girl screams out, "I DINIT," then she gets kicked in the chest. "QUIET YOU WHORE"
I step in and push them away. "SHE'S A CHILD FOR GODS SAKE SHE KNOWS NO BETTER!!!"
Then I checked that 90% of her skin was torn off. Her face was the only thing still intact.
"Why do you care? Maybe she seduced you, too."
Holding her hand, she goes limp, and I check her pulse… nothing, she was dead. "LOOK, YOU KILLED HER. ARE YOU HAPPY?!"
None of them looks ashamed.
"It was her luck."
I started to hear a ringing in my head. My breath got heavy, then that old man walked over. "Hand her over, she's dead, we will cast her away in the water; she doesn't deserve a grave."
My mind breaks, and my arms split apart, turning into a tentacle wrapping around his head, then I hear loud crunch sounds, all other noise stops, then a thud.
When I looked up, everyone had a shock on their face. I set the girl down. My arm was now filled with sharp teeth, then screaming and blood bones crushing sounds of kids crying, and I couldn't stop time passed, then it stopped.
No scream crying, just quiet like it was at the start. I look down and see nothing but blood, guts, and carnage, and I slump on the floor and cry
"No no no no no NO! I-i didn't mean… I didn't mean to, I was just so mad I… FUUUUCCCKKK!!!
I sat there crying. I never killed anyone, mainly just zombies, but never a human. I stood as I threw up again. I slowly picked up that poor girl.
[What happened? Who is this?]
[he killed them all in a minute flat]
[wait, I read a BL novel with his name and description, why is he here?]
[Really, he was in a zombie novel. What's going on?]
I ignore them as I bear them all, even if most don't deserve it. I was born to respect the dead, then he pops up.
"Good shit"
I jump back, "h-how?" he looks at me like I'm dumb.
"You just killed like 20-30 people, so I absorb their souls, one ability I have, it makes me and you stronger."
"YOU DID WHAT I NEVER WANTED THAT!!!"
"Sigh, listen, kid, this world we live in is evil, and good people die. You need to learn when to have a heart. I'm not saying you need to kill babies just to get stronger, but you need to learn not to be a baby."
I take a breath as I head to the village and find some new clothes and wash them off later, after I go back on my journey.
As I walk, my body feels better than it ever did, nowhere near what it once was, not even a fraction.
But moving until I see a desert in the distance, I speed up as I trip over something, looking back. It was a gourd. I picked it up, and I could feel the energy coming off it. I shook it and heard water. I opened it, and it smelled like pure energy.
Taking a sip, the liquid tasted like pure spring water. It was so refreshing, I clipped it to my belt and continued on my way.
