Until death: Chapter 25
Theme: "Surprise or Shock."
I felt proud in front of everybody. The ball I was standing upon was now rotating around the small ridge. My superiority was now in the blink of lashing out and I felt invisible. I am now the champion of the arena. I became the centre of attention, and everyone stood eagerly waiting for what was going to be happy next. I can feel all my friends looking at me with shock, surprise, and disbelief. I knew they were finding it out to believe me. They all stood still on the dirt, their mouths open wide in stupefaction.
Well, I couldn't blame them. Who will believe the story that a two-month-old corpse came back to life, and is now more powerful? The venom woman was now crawling down the ridge. She was sneaking around the other side, hoping to catch me by surprise, but only if she knew that I had now acquired a new sight. It was like I could see everything that was happe
Until Death-chapter 26 Theme: Surprised or Shocked, part 2 "How is that possible?" I asked no one in particular, my mouth still open in incredulity as the scene in front of me unfurled itself. Surprise is the military soldier's transformation that just turned into a reaper's warrior. The second is Ryan, so he was the reaper's leader all this time. That means he killed both my foster and biological dad. Lastly, my team. "So, you are the veiled man." I snarled at Ryan. He had just hopped down from the high place he had been sitting in earlier. He was now a few feet away from me. "You are a green snake, the black sheep that made my life miserable," I yelled, and I could feel my voice cracking. However, I managed to hold back my tears. "You can blame it on the soul nectar," he replied nonchalantly. "If I know you are the last Smith, I will have killed you, ripped your chest open, and removed the
Until death-chapter 27 Themes: Genesis and Revelation "You want to know how it begins, right?" Ryan screeched at me, and I could see the streaks in his neck rising. He sauntered towards me and shoved me in the mouth with his boot. Not allowing me to take a siesta, he raised me with one hand, my feet dangling in the air, and he punched me in the jaw. Still, he didn't release me. "You Smith caused everything," he snarled again, his eyeball protruding out due to the way he was speaking. "None of you should interfere in what doesn't concern you." He hit me twice more before tossing me away, and I went flying in the air like a baby toy. I could feel blood on my tongue. My whole mouth had been bruised due to the way he had tortured me. Each blow felt like he was hitting me with heavy metal. Before I could blink, he appeared in front of me, grabbed me by the neck again, yanked me up, then sped towards the cliff and made m
Until death, chapter 28 Theme: Genesis and revelation, part 2. "In the beginning, I invented the nine rings of gloom and distributed them among the selfish men. Three were given to the dwarf, and five were given to different men who were seeking more sovereignty. Ryan begins his speech. He has now returned to his previous position, and my mom is sitting beside him. The moon's casting is reflected on them, and they look flawless. If not for the certainty that they are betrayers and bloody suckers, I would gladly accept them as my parents. My team has also joined us, all of them waiting eagerly for the history they have never heard before. Not that they have any choice. Besides, we are in his region, and he could do anything he wanted to us. There are thousands of Nazgul sailing in the night, under the dreary atmosphere, all of them waiting for their emperor's order. I know that with a whistle, they will descend on u
Until death-chapter 29 Theme: The Chase Instead of loitering for them to charge at me, I attacked them rather. I whack at Ryan, and he deflects it with a sword that mysteriously appeared in his hand. He whacked at me, his sword aiming for my throat, and I quickly bent low. The bitch, my foster mom, slashed at me from behind with a short knife, and I quickly stepped aside. I retaliated by directing a kick to her abdomen and then using her body to perform wall flips. It's just that I used her body instead. My leg hit her on the jaw, and the effect made her stumble backward. I swashed it aside to circumvent another attack from Ryan. Wheeling back, I faced him, my eyes blazing with fury. He swung at me, his blow growing fiercer with each second. All thanks to the nectar, I was able to deflect all the blows expertly. I whacked at him with my silver sword, and he quickly parried the blow with his blade. He grabbed my ank
Until death: Chapter 30 Theme: unexpected assistance Twisting back to check the new male voice, I was met with something unimaginable. It was a squirrel cat. A talking cat. Releasing my guard, I hissed in annoyance and directed my gaze back to the incoming armies. One of the skeletons directed a boulder at me, but I quickly jumped to evade it, then curled my body to avoid another incoming strike. I heard a painful groan behind me, followed by the hissing sound of the squirrel cat. "As if infesting my solitude wasn't enough, they even have the guts to attack me." The animal complains, and the resentment in its voice is visible. I wanted to stop and ask the strange animal with red hair how I was able to understand what it was saying, but the incoming armies didn't allow me to as they charged straight at me. Letting out a rudimentary roar that surprised and even scared me, I met them in a
Until death-chapter 31 Theme: The Road Warriors Taking different corridors in the tunnel, I was sauntering after the squirrel cat, who I have now named after my foster father. I intentionally do it to honour his name. We have been running for what seems like an eternity, taking different twisted turns. Thanks to the giant red sun, I am sure that I would have lost sight of Reed. He didn't even pause to check on me, despite how I was breathing heavily. "Faster, lazy boy." He snapped at me, which prompted me to increase my pace. Behind us, I can hear the voices of Ryan and my foster mom shouting orders to their army, warning them that I mustn't escape. If it was under normal conditions, I would have conjured my skate ball and whooshed out of the tunnel. However, doing that will not only endanger my life; I will also be lost here forever, and I am sure Reed won't stop checking on me.
Theme: The Plan I stared at her eyes, wondering if she had just spoken balderdash. The processor also looked surprised, but she was quick to conceal it. I can feel Reed looking at me with curiosity, waiting for me to begin my explanation, but I am just too tired to speak. No wonder they didn't look stunned when they saw me returning from Gondor. Even after I show my power and the transformation in the arena ground, they don't look surprised. After what seemed like forever, I finally found my speech box. "What did you mean by saying you are a specimen?" I asked, still flabbergasted by what they were saying. "I know you might be confused, but that is the truth." Kira retorted blankly. "Nasar," she said while pointing to the new guy with low-cut air. "He has been our eyes ever since your dismissal. There is not a week that goes by without him dreaming about you and your ret
Until death, chapter 33 Theme: "Getting Ready" "Let's go and chew some ears," Reed chittered on my shoulder, his tail wiggling in excitement as if the battle we were about to have was for leisure. "That bitch and her boyfriend," he chittered again, and I knew he was talking about Ryan and my mom. "Don't fucking stop me," he growled, and I could feel the anger in his voice. "Their ears, eyes, and nose belong to me. Then you can do to their body as you like." "Okay sir," I simply said, knowing fully well that delinquency to reply to him would only lead to another argument that might lead to a fight. That is Reed for you. He loves talking, just like a parrot. He likes to show off his hunting skills, and he believes that your enemy shouldn't be spared. It would have been easy if he wasn't dragging me in his dilemmas. However, he would insist that I should be translating his speech for my friends, and failure to follow
