All Chapters of Get In The Ring, Daddy.: Chapter 61 - Chapter 69

🦪 DALE LAZARUS 🦪“You killed him! Don’t stand here acting like the victim, you miserable bastard! Do you feel great about having deceived me? I didn’t even think you could ever be the bastard I want dead. I’m the fool for trusting you blindly, and I’m going to kill you, Reaper. I. Will. Kill. You. I don’t give a shit if you’re Dale or not, you owe me a debt, it’s time to pay up, you bastard!”I wake up gasping, my hand flying to my throat to check if it hasn’t been slit. That was Dora’s voice. I was trying so hard not to sleep so I wouldn’t have that dream, but I couldn’t stop it in the end.The cold breeze slaps my skin. I look around me, and I have fallen asleep on the bench in the backyard. Instead of going in, I drag out my phone from my back pocket and dial Samuel’s number.It is 2 am, and I call Samuel until 2:30 am when he finally picks up, yawning loudly and tiredly, “This could have waited until morning, Lazarus. I’m a doctor, I need to sleep well to understand my patients.

🦪 DORA 🦪The first thing I do when I reach the ring is look around. The reaper isn’t in the ring now, so I take my time to observe my surroundings.The fight with the Top 1 seems to be different, seeing how even the surrounding is different. It’s not the same as my other fights. We are surrounded by water, a water that would be at least 12ft deep. I had used a bridge to reach the ring; it’s as if the water is telling me, “You try to leave this ring… You drown.”I sigh, shaking my head and in the process shaking other unimportant thoughts.“When you get into the ring with the reaper, one of you actually has to die. No matter what happens, that shouldn’t be you! Never be the one who wouldn’t walk out of the ring, Dora. Kill the bastard who killed your father,” Dale’s words resonate in my head.As the door slides open, I see a shadow of a man; he’s tall and well-built, quite similar to the one of someone I know. I don’t focus on his physique. I feel my blood boil as he walks towards t

🦪 DORA 🦪I freeze as a part of The Reaper’s mask falls just right in front of me. Breathing heavily, my gaze slowly travels to his face as he falls to the ground.My heart is beating so fast, screaming in my ribcage as I take steps closer to the man.The air in the room doesn't just feel thin; it feels sharp, like inhaling shards of glass that refuse to reach my lungs. I watch the scene unfold in front of me, the way the light leaves his eyes, the unnatural stillness of a body that was standing just minutes ago, and my world begins to seize up. My limbs start to go rigid, locking into place as if my muscles are trying to build a cage to protect my heart from the truth. This has to be a glitch. A cruel, vivid trick of a tired mind. I squeeze my eyes shut so hard that stars explode behind my eyelids, chanting a silent mantra: “It’s not real. It’s a trick. You’re seeing things.” I am desperately trying to draw a blank, to wipe the image of the Dale on the ground, barely breathing, bu

🦪 DORA 🦪With one mission successful, my next mission feels harder. I thought it would be simple when I made the entire plan in my head. Like, I cracked a top-secret Russian message code.Finally out of the walls of Umbra, I barely have eighty seconds left for the poison to take full effect.What I pictured in my head was a city full of people as soon as I’m out of the darn walls, in reality, only swamps and monkeys jumping from tree to tree greet us.How do I find a way out of these… strange woods, it looks like the one you always find in a horror movie, where every character is warned not to go into.How fast can I actually see people and buildings? With Dale unconscious, it’d probably take me ten times the time in my head, if not more.“Should I give up?” I ask myself, looking at the deep blue sky before slamming my eyes shut. “This is mission impossible anyway.”Sixty seconds.My stomach turns, followed by a painful squeeze from inside, and I return its toxic reaction by releasi

🦪 DORA 🦪When I get to the gate of Umbra, I’m weirdly allowed to walk in. The men in red costumes and masks in front made way for me to go in, and I did. Knowing that if this is a trap, I’d be fucked.I keep walking down the hall until I see a door leading to a room, and I push it open. I step into the room, and it is like a void. Cold, silent, and absolutely black room. So dark that I can't tell if the door I just walked through is beside me or behind me. The only point of orientation in this room is the faint vertical glow coming from a slot hole carved in a door leading to another side of the room.“I knew you’d come to see me,” a voice echoes out. I shake, gawking at the slot hole, and I immediately know it’s Umbra.“Turns out that way,” I retort, breathing heavily as I try to stand tall and remain calm.“You broke the rule,” he says.“Which is why I’m here,” I respond cleanly. “Could you let us go? We promise to leave this country, we’ll live like we are dead.”Umbra chuckles.
