"Y-you can't die,"
"Why,"
"C-cause you can't! If you do, I'll be sad!" The little girl shouts, stomping in place.
"Then you're useless," I respond before slamming the door in the little girl's face.
"Wait! Don't go! Hold on; I'll get help!" The little girl shouts while I could hear slowly dimming footsteps running away from my house, leftover by my parent's inheritance.
Tup Tup Tup
I walked through the house's dark hall before reaching the kitchen, where I grabbed the sharpest knife I could find and pressed it against my neck.
My hands began to shake, and I spaced out for a bit, and I only ca back once I heard a banging on my door.
I sigh once before placing the knife on the kitchen counter and walking up to my front door without opening it.
"**** Are you in there?!" I hear a woman's voice say as she bangs on the door.
Huh? Who is she talking to? And what was that first part?
"Hello?"
"Ah, thank god… Sweetie, open the door. I know you're having a hard ti, so how about you stay at our house?"
Opening the door, I saw the sa little girl from before with her mother, but for so reason, my mind was cloudy, so all I could ask was,
"Who are you?"
"It's , ******'s mom," The woman asks with a worried expression.
Huh? I don't understand? I'm assuming she's this little girl's mom… but I still don't know who they are. It just feels like everything goes quiet when they say a na…
And as if sobody was listening to my thoughts, everything went completely quiet, even when the two humans in front of began to shout and shake my body in worry.
I just tilted my head in confusion as a ringing sound began to vibrate through my head.
The woman in front of began to leak tears as I just stared ahead of , only to be t by two glowing eyes. One had an X, and one had a Diamond. They blinked a dim yellow and gray color every few seconds.
Tup
The woman hugged while crying and giving a warm smile while the little girl next to continued to cry.
Huh? Why are they crying?
"So that's why I was created," I hear a woman's voice, suddenly causing to jolt my head up as I could hear nothing but her voice now.
"Who are you?" I ask the woman with pale white skin, lined to the brim with white and black tattoos, weird, unique eyes with an X and Diamond... and to finish it off, she had beautiful silky long black hair.
"You don't rember? Think harder…"
Why does she look familiar?
Suddenly, I began to rember who I was and my second life and how I was just about to die after getting all my limbs removed from my body.
"These people… they look familiar…." I mutter while staring at the two humans who just retreated from their hug.
The mother held out her hand, but I didn't know what she wanted, so I just tilted my head in confusion while staring at my clone behind her.
"How have you been?" I ask my inner demon who sat in my driveway.
"Seems you're back, and your past self was pretty interesting… You didn't want to kill yourself but wanted soone else to kill you because you're scared of the pain, I assu," The inner demon replies.
"Which one are you?"
"Isn't clear from what you just experienced?"
"Hmmmmm… Depression right? But I didn't feel like I was on the brink of depression before you showed this,"
"Oh, you were on track to depression, I'm pretty sure… But, doesn't that little girl right there look familiar?" My inner demon says, pointing at the little girl who took my hand and dragged out of my house.
"Familiar?" I mutter before glancing at the girl, but suddenly, her face disappeared… there were no facial features, no matter how much I tried to focus my eyes.
"I don't rember," I respond.
"Of course you don't rember… but how about this, if you let take over your body, I'll kill the mage in front of you, and you'll be able to rember who that little girl is," My inner demon suggests as she climbs on top of the woman's car as we all get it in it.
"Ah, this crushing feeling in my heart is nostalgic… I guess I was going down the path of depression… But I could've easily turned everything around..." I mutter to myself without thinking much of what my inner demon suggested.
"So, do you have an answer?" My inner demon asks as she phases through the ceiling of the car and stares directly at .
"Hmmmmm… Nah, I can do it myself. I'll instantly use [Forbidden Magic: Hers] and then fly over to-"
"Have you forgotten? He already knows how to counter everything… That is the difference between yourself, a weakling, and a genius. You have only lived off of my powers, so how about you try and return the favor once," My inner demon says, crawling onto my lap while pressing her hands against my cheeks.
"I just said to piss off, didn't I?"
"Tsk…"
The inner demon clicks her tongue before grabbing my throat and pressing into the seat of the car, causing my airway to be instantly cut off.
"More," I mutter subconsciously as if another being resided within .
"More," I muttered again while reaching out my hands like a child trying to grab stars.
"S-so close," I muttered one last ti before losing consciousness.
…
(Inner Demon: Depression POV)
tsk
This stupid bitch just won't let up… Plus, her terrible mories are overwhelming even with the few ntal barriers I had set on myself with the last of my power.
Just how much did this bitch suffer in her previous life...
Letting go of the little boy's face in front of , I then grabbed onto his throat and pressed him into the seat, imdiately getting a few satisfying choking noises that were like music to my ears.
But contradictory to the boy's suffering, he reached out his hand as if he was trying to grab the stars, and a smile streaked across his face.
Oh, her previous personality or just the boy's real mind is coming out… Did she already give up?
As soon as the idea of the woman giving up ca across my mind, I pressed even harder and gripped the boy's throat harder as he began to mutter words.
On the other hand, the little girl and woman driving the car were sitting down as if nothing was happening.
"S-so close," The boy mutters before being knocked unconscious.
"Finally," I mutter before hearing a ssage from the system.
[Host has lost connection with the body]
[Grand Mind Magic has allowed access to the host's body]
[Seal has been temporarily lifted]
[Main Objective: Save the host while sustaining as little damage as possible]
[Set Reward: You will have more access to the host's mind, allowing you to converse with the host if wanted]
"Thank god I made this system before dying; otherwise, I'd just be rotting in that fucking room," I mutter before feeling my mind go blank, and then once I felt like myself again, I saw that I was in Arpious's body.
She was currently gripping her head with two newly regenerated arms while crying profusely as what I assud to be Lan was staring at her blankly with disappointnt.
Everyone around her looked at her in confusion, but as soon as I took over, the tears stopped, and I summoned the massive scythe Arpious was granted.
…
(Arpious POV)
An out-of-body experience, I would call it.
I was currently watching myself slowly stand up with newly regenerated limbs, probably from Ichii, while wiping away the tears that were flowing from my eyes.
"This weapon is pretty good," My body mutters by itself before dodging the invisible swipe of Lan's hand, causing his jaw to drop in shock.
"Oh, you've changed-"
Before Lan could even finish his statent, my inner demon swung my scythe, causing it to rip straight through his baggy clothes as he just barely managed to dodge the almost invisible swing.
'You aren't using Hers, right… Hers isn't ant to slow down ti but accelerate yourself to the point it looks like ti has slowed down. This ans Hers can be applied to only specific parts of your body if you focus enough,' My voice rings through my head.
I see... This guy… or woman… I can't tell which one it is as it seems my inner demons borrow my appearance, but they also talk as if they are a separate person, so…
SHING
My inner demon swings my scythe again but with much less power as she managed to fake out Lan before slicing my resummoned katana down into Lan's shoulder.
"AH! SHIT!" Lan shouts before grabbing my blade and ripping it out of his shoulder before taking a few flash steps back.
"Weak," My inner demon mutters before shaking her head side to side as if she was disappointed in and not Lan, who began to sweat profusely.
