"Are you soone I know?" I asked.
There might be a possibility that he is soone i know, but there is no one I should know.
"Oh? So you think you know from sowhere? Hmm, okay then. Guess who I am. Not that I am anyone you know"
"Just cut all this bullshit. I am tired and you look tired too"
"Do I look tired? How do I look tired? You can't even see my face"
"I can tell by the way you are acting"
"Ah! I am not tired, I am just bored"
My body had already started feeling numb. I could barely move my hands.
I was already sitting down. But now I leaned back to the chair grandpa was sitting in.
"You are the one who is tired" he said, kicking the sword.
The sword hit in the feet and it started bleeding.
"So. Who are you?" I asked.
"This must be the 10th ti you are asking the sa question"
"It's because you don't answer properly"
"I am Augustus! How many tis do I have to say it?"
"I thought we were playing a guessing ga"
"Fine. Fine! Guess then"
"I can't guess. You win, now tell "
"I am Ricky"
"...."
"Or maybe I am that Joey?"
"...."
"Or maybe I am your dad...though I definitely never wanted a son like you. Hmm, maybe I am your uncle Ady"
"..."
"Did I miss any male you know. Others would be too old. Oh! Maybe I am a girl and speaking by changing my voice? I an you can't identify with my static voice anyway"
"...."
"Maybe I am Elena? Though I would never date you. So maybe I am Lier, but I think you would recognize her. Then...Serah! I am Serah"
"I shouldn't have asked this question"
"Co on. I was being serious"
"Can you go now? If you don't want to kill then get out of here. I want to take a rest. A long rest"
"Careful there, soone might co and attack you. Like they did just now. And maybe this ti even kill all you lovers"
"That will never happen. I will protect"
"Again with that promise! You can't. You can't, Das Edens. You can't protect them"
"I will protect them"
"You have already failed once...or maybe twice. And you will fail again"
"I will be the one to die next ti"
"If you die then who would protect them?"
"I will die as many tis as I can to protect my loved ones"
He took a step back, as if he was surprised, or rather shocked.
"What's wrong? Feeling tired" I comnted.
"He said the sa thing once"
"Who...?"
"He...he said the sa thing. The sa thing. The sa thing, but he died, and he couldn't even protect them. No! He protected them or maybe not. I don't rember. What happened at that ti again? How did he die again?"
There he goes again.
He is making convince that he is so kind of delusional freak.
But if that's the case, then everything he said is wrong. But he showed so proof...argh! My head.
"Hey!" he yelled.
"Rember. Always rember. Make sure you protect your loved ones, because if they die, then you are just...just...you are just...nothing"
"..."
"You don't know how it feels like to lose your loved ones"
"I just did"
"You have no idea what true hopelessness is. All you can do is watch your loved ones die and you can't do anything but quietly watch. Then they will co to haunt you in your dream. Their whispers. Devil's whispers! They will eat you. It will consu you. And in the end, you will fall into darkness where nothing but darkness exists"
"I just said I will protect them"
What is wrong with him?!
"Hey, are you...could it be that you...no. It's impossible"
"What?"
"Nothing. I will go now"
"..."
"I will co back to kill you one day. Or my clones will"
"This was your last chance. You are not getting any opportunity like this ever again"
"We will see that. And that bomb thing was a lie"
"..."
"There is no way I would plant a bomb and kill that many people. I may want you Edens' dead, but the others are innocent. And they don't deserve to die"
"..."
He jumped down from the balcony.
Good thing he is gone.
If he had tried to kill then I wouldn't be able to fight back.
I was spared by an enemy because I am week. I feel pathetic but I don't care what anyone think about because I can't feel anything about what anyone thinks.
I can't feel anyone feelings now. Earlier, in all those years, I couldn't understand them, but now, I can't even feel them.
I still can't get over with this sadness.
"I forgot one thing!" He ca up again.
Is he here to kill ?
"Here" he said, throwing the key.
It was an eight-way key.
"It's the key of the tenth hallway of the eight lane side of the inner palace"
"You figured it out just by looking at it. As expected of Edens"
"I grew up watching these keys"
Daulla always had patrol duties in the morning at night. And I used to follow her around.
I rember I once asked her how she was able to rember the keys of every room and hallway"
She said there is a trick. I asked her to teach , and she said if I am able to fulfill my promise, then she would tell .
I asked her what the promise was. She forced a smile and said it was nothing.
Later she told the trick that the keys of every floor and every hallway have different types of pattern on them.
"Well then. Find the room"
"What is the key for and what is in the room?"
"Sothing that will make you rember every ti you think about it"
"...."
He jumped down.
I still can't move my body. But the pain is slowly fading away.
"Thanks Lily"
[....]
"Can you also make my body move? I want to check the room"
[You shouldn't move]
"I also have to inform mother and Lirole about all this"
I have no idea how I am going to explain all this.
[Try moving your body]
I tried moving my hand, and it moved.
[It can lose sync anyti. Be careful]
"Okay"
She is talking normally with now.
Looks like she isn't angry--
[I still haven't forgiven you]
"..."
=====================
Hey guys! Two Chapters today!!
I am writing this announcent to inform you guys about sothing.
You might have already seen it in my profile. I am writing another novel.
The na of the novel is, "Underrated Exorcist: The Legacy of The Supre's will".
By the ti you are reading this, 7 chapters should already be out.
I started writing that novel with this VR novel. I planned to stockpile the chapters to 120 chapters and then put it on tir to release it.
But plans changed, as busy as I am nowadays, it would be hard to stockpile 120 chapters, I would take 3 months. LOL.
Currently, I have about 50 chapters stockpiled of that novel, and it will be released daily by the sum of two.
I am asking you guys to add it in your library, read it. And if possible, drop a review.
And as always, thanks for the support. : )
