49. Amen to Damnation
The belt around his waist began to glow and take on a different shape, but Kael barely noticed. Bigger things demanded his attention now. The realization mattered more than anything else. “It wants me strong…” 【 Obedience to the system has rewarded you with a one-time skill. 】 【 User can now harness the powers and abilities of a substitute Disc. 】 “... Because it's only the strong who survives.” What he had to do and what he needed to do had never been clearer. With purpose in his eyes, Kael pulled out the box Madam Kaname had given him and opened it. Inside was not the charm he'd expected… but a small blue metal Disc staring back at him. From its design alone, coupled with the intricate sailfish engraving, Kael knew exactly who it belonged to. Who better than Thessa to handle such an intricate piece flawlessly that he burned it into memory. It was at that moment the fear on his face turned into painful understanding. While it was true they were without defense, Kael co
48. Leveling Up
‘Pale, fragile… less than, I know what it means to be treated like a cockroach.’ ‘To be seen as something worthless… like you don't matter. I know that feeling.’ ‘All my life… I was the one people pitied.’ ‘Do you have any idea what that feels like?! DO YOU?!’ Kael drove the creature stumbling back with a rage even he couldn't discern where from. Emotion over Logic. Though his greatest flaw, there was also a quiet strength to it. ‘To stand there powerless while the universe decides for you whether to live or die.’ He moved forward, step by step. ‘To scream inside your own head again and again… because your body refuses to move.’ His fists tightened. ‘Do you have any idea what it's like to watch others protect you… not because they believe in you… but because they think you can't protect yourself?’ He walked through the fallen monsters the girl had slain in her frenzy. Some of them still twitched, making strained groans and noises at him. Death had eluded them, and f
47. A Hero’s Burden
Staring at Kael and how quiet he seemed through the ordeal, Lance couldn't have picked a more appropriate time to ask. “Are you okay?” He asked like he hadn't noticed how troubled he seemed. A response was all he needed to affirm, but Kael gave him none. Caught once more between two worlds, his own morality and that of survival, which could he choose? Stay true to who he was… or sink deeper into the madness this world demanded of him? And in that silence, his thoughts began to unravel. ‘I said I was going to save my sister… then go beat the living hell out of the assholes who took her.’ His fingers curled into trembling fists. ‘But I don't understand this power… this system. It asks too much of me.’ His breathing grew uneven. ‘Can I really do something like that again? Can I… kill?”’ The thought alone seemed impossible to fathom and just as it threatened to consume him whole… the voice broke him out of it. “What… does it feel like?” Kael blinked, startled. The que
46. From Dust We Came, To Dust We Depart
He expelled a mouthful of blood, the girl's armor fading into light. And for the first time since the battle began, confusion crossed her face. Life was too precious to squander on a meaningless death. She hadn’t asked him to step in front of her. She hadn’t told him to sacrifice himself. And yet… he had done it without the slightest hesitation. “Why…? Why did you do that? No one asked you to!” she cried. Then, like the final note of a symphony reaching its crescendo, his body slumped forward against her. “Decker!!!” Everyone abandoned what they were doing and rushed toward their fallen friend. At the same time, Lance pivoted and fired at the enemy, forcing the monster back and buying them precious seconds. The girl’s breath came sharp. “Why risk your life so pointlessly like that?” Cracks began to form along his skin. His body was slowly starting to crumble, yet through the pain, he managed a small, faint smile. “It… wasn’t pointless,” he murmured, blood streaking down
45. The Phoenix Step
The first monster lunged at her with a loud shriek, but it never finished the sound. The girl threw her sword, and the blade went straight through the monster’s skull, bursting out the back in a spray of blood and bone. Before the body even hit the ground, she suddenly appeared beside the sword. Kael blinked in confusion because she hadn't run or jumped. One moment she was standing there; the next she was beside the blade. She pulled the sword free as the corpse collapsed at her feet. Blood ran down the steel and over her hand, but her grin only grew wider. “Oh hell yes,” she said with excitement. She raised the sword and faced the rest of the monsters. “Come on then, you ugly bastards. Let’s fucking go.” The horde answered at once. Dozens of monsters rushed toward her with their claws and fangs, ready to tear her apart. She moved before any could reach her and swung her blade in an arc so brutal she cut one monster’s arm off and opened the throat of another. Both bodies
44. Pure Bliss
“That’s when he spoke. “Ah… if it isn’t the Phoenix Rider in the flesh. Remember me?” he said, baring a grin filled with razor-sharp teeth. “Hmm.” The girl slowed her steps, tilting her head slightly. One hand rose to her chin as if she were genuinely thinking it over, studying the grotesque form he had transformed himself into. Then she snapped her fingers softly. “Let’s see here… eight feet tall, a back full of spider legs, and a face that looks like someone carved a gargoyle out of shit.” She nodded to herself. “Yeah, of course I remember you. Vir Ossium, they call you, right?” There was no mistaking the foul presence. She had encountered monsters before, but few carried the same rancid aura he did. Then, with a casualness that felt almost insulting in the middle of a battlefield, she added, “So… how’s the family?” For a moment, the battlefield fell strangely quiet. Then Vir Ossium’s grin widened. “Great, thanks,” he replied as if they were neighbors exchanging p
