2025-07-05 00:35:09Lucy had a sinister smile on her face, Xayn knew there was no way for him to fight and win. It was going to be the worst thing he would attempt to do. He looked at the wound and it was bleeding fast, he looked around to see that they were deep in the heart of the dungeon and it turned out they were in the beast’s cave.
“You know I wonder why someone will pay this amount of money to remove something like you, maybe your existence does piss some people off.” Luke looked at Xayn as he pulled out his sword, Xayn knew what was going to happen.
“Even if I am weak,” Xayn was pulling out his sword, he was not going to let them kill him that way. He was going to look for a way to make sure he fights back.
“Even though I don't have much power like the rest of you, I will make sure you don't kill me here!!” Xayn yelled at the top of his lungs, it was like there was something motivating him to fight back for the first time in his life.
‘I can't die here and break my promise to Kira, I will have to fight and make sure I run to the other warriors. I will have a better chance if I am with them.’ Xayn braced himself holding his sword firmly, he looked at the two people standing before him and he knew there was no way he was going to be able to win them but he stood there looking at them.
Xayn charged quickly at Luke trying to cut him, before he could do anything Lucy delivered one more blow to his back piercing the sword to his ribs.
‘Fuck, I am not going to be able to hold up.’ Xayn lost concentration for the minute he got the hit, he turned to push off Lucy when Luke delivered another blow, this one deadlier and heavier than anything Lucy had done.
Xayn fell to the floor in pain, he was losing blood fast and his vision was getting blurry he couldn't move properly anymore. His legs were going numb by the minute, he slowly looked at the wounds on his body and he saw there was no way out of this one.
“Why isn't this poetic? We are getting rid of the world’s weakest warrior, he lived a rather wasteful life and couldn't even take care of his own family. Why do I know they will find a way to survive without you?” Luke was looking at Xayn with a smile on his face, Xayn spat blood on Luke’s face.
“I hope the both of you die..” Xayn was cut short when Luke ran his dagger through his belly, Xayn could hardly scream anymore. He lost all the sensation in his body slowly giving himself up.
“You really think you will get anything from striking me? How pathetic, now die, die knowing you could never do anything in life other than be a failure.” Luke pulled out the dagger, Xayn laid down on the floor looking at the two as they looked down on him smiling.
“Well that’s done, I have spoken to the man. I sent pictures and he said that he was going to add an extra 20 for making the work a quick success.” Lucy smiled as she looked at Xayn, she walked closer to him and bent over. “I still dont know why he is trying to kill this one of all the warriors, but why do I care I am getting paid either ways.”
“You know, you were worth something in the end.” She smiled as she turned and followed Luke. Xayn watched them walk away, he couldn't move nor raise his hands. When they got to the entrance they broke it down, closing Xayn in to die alone.
Xayn had lost a lot of blood and he was slowly accepting his fate, he looked around to see that the cave was empty. ‘I couldn't do anything in the end, I was weak to the very end.’
[Host body detected!]
‘I broke my promise to Kira and was not able to go back home, I failed mom and I have lost everything.’ Xayn was thinking about his life and how it had been nothing but a failure since the beginning.

‘I pray Kira finds a way to survive me, I hope the doctors find it in their heart to take care of my mom. I can't go on, please God I pray in my second life I will be stronger than this.’ Xayn was accepting the cold embrace of death.
Suddenly a screen pops up in front of Xayn, hovering above him.
Do you want to become the host? All your wounds will be healed and your stamina will be restored.

Xayn looked at the screen and he couldn't say anything, ‘What the hell is this? Am I dreaming?’

Chapter 26
A blast of white-silver light tore through the cavern. Xayn stumbled back, shielding his face as wind howled from the center of the chamber. Stones ripped from the walls, chains snapped, and the torches went out one by one. Dust filled the air until he could barely breathe. “Lia!” he shouted. “Stop!”But it wasn’t Lia anymore. The girl on the floor rose slowly, her hair floating around her as if underwater. The marks of the seal blazed across her skin like living fire. Her eyes glowed pure silver, no pupils, no warmth, just cold light. The ground trembled. Cracks raced across the floor, spreading like lightning.System: “Warning. Unknown energy detected. Intensity, catastrophic.”Xayn took a step forward, his voice trembling. “Lia, it’s me. It’s Xayn. You’re safe now.”Her gaze snapped toward him. The air shuddered. When she spoke, her voice was layered, two tones overlapping, Lia’s soft one and another deeper, older, filled with fury. “You should not have freed me.”The mask pulsed
Chapter 25
The sky above the city was pale and gray, the first sign of dawn breaking through the night. A thin fog crawled across the streets, softening the edges of broken walls and burnt wood.Xayn’s footsteps echoed dully as he stumbled through the alleyway. His entire body throbbed with exhaustion. Dried blood streaked his arms. The Shadowglass still glowed faintly in his fist, pulsing like a dying heart. The mask was still on his face.No matter how many times he clawed at it, the iron refused to come off. The edges had fused to his skin, cold and hot all at once. He could feel it breathing, like something alive pressed against his soul.System: “Bond locked. Artifact stable at 99.9%. Warning: external removal impossible.”He ignored it. All he could think of was Lia. He had been gone for too long. Every second mattered.The streets looked different now. Quiet. Deserted. Even the stray market lights had gone out. He turned down the narrow road that led to the safe house, the one he and Ki

The world was black. Not silent, though. The mask laughed in the darkness, its voice echoing like a storm in his skull. “You’re mine now. All mine. No more pretending. No more fighting.”Xayn tried to speak, but his lips wouldn’t move. His body felt heavy, trapped, as if he had been chained in molten iron, then another voice cut through, smooth, steady, calm. “Not yet. He’s still useful.”Xayn’s eyes snapped open. He was no longer on the blood-soaked streets of the Black Market.Instead, he stood in a strange void. The ground was black stone, cracked with glowing veins of red. Shadows swirled like smoke, wrapping around him. Above, the sky was endless and empty, yet alive with whispers, and standing in front of him was the red-eyed man.The cloak around his body swayed though there was no wind. His hood shadowed his face, but his glowing eyes cut through the dark like twin blades.“You’ve walked far,” the man said softly. “Farther than I expected. Most who wear that mask don’t last a
Chapter 23
The night was silent now. Too silent. The bodies of Sean’s soldiers littered the street, blood pooling around broken armor and twisted spears. The torches guttered in the breeze, their light flickering over the ruined stones. Xayn knelt in the center, his chest rising and falling heavily. The mask still clung to his face. It pulsed with heat, its hollow crimson eyes glowing faintly, each beat in rhythm with his racing heart.His hands trembled as he reached for the edges of the iron. He tried to rip it off, as he had before, but it didn’t move.His fingers scraped against the cold metal. His nails dug until they bled. Nothing.The mask laughed softly inside his mind. “I told you… this time, you don’t take me off.”The system’s voice crackled in his ear, weak but urgent.Warning: Host identity collapsing.Bond stabilizing at 99.6%.Immediate removal required.Xayn growled through clenched teeth. “Then help me! Tear it off!”Error: External override blocked. Artifact resistance too st

The stones cracked under Xayn’s feet as he lunged forward. The black iron mask clung to his face, burning hot, its hollow crimson eyes blazing with power. His blood-red vision tunneled onto Sean, every muscle surging with violent strength.Sean didn’t flinch. He didn’t raise his weapon. He simply stood there, smiling, and that smile made something deep inside Xayn shiver.The mask hissed in his mind. “Kill him. Crush his skull. Tear out his heart. He dares to laugh at you!”Xayn’s fist roared forward, the air splitting under its speed. At the last instant, Sean moved.Steel sang. Sean’s blade flashed like silver lightning, parrying Xayn’s punch with impossible precision. Sparks exploded as fist met steel, the shockwave rattling the buildings around them.Xayn staggered back a step, his crimson eyes narrowing. Sean had stopped him. The mask hissed with anger. “Impossible. No man can match this power.”Sean tilted his head, his smile never leaving. “So it’s true. The mask accepts you.
Chapter 21
The night wind carried the faint smell of smoke and blood. Xayn stood at the end of the alley, his chest heaving, his body still trembling from the battle with the assassins. His hand clutched the Shadowglass tightly, while the satchel containing the cursed mask pulsed faintly at his side, and there, standing in the torchlight with his men, was Sean.Sean’s polished armor gleamed even in the dim night. His eyes were sharp, filled with amusement, as though the entire world was nothing but a game for him. His cruel smile widened when he saw Xayn’s bloodied form.“Well, well,” Sean drawled. “The rat returns from the gutter. I half-expected the Black Market to chew you up and spit out your bones. But here you are.”His soldiers chuckled behind him, the sound grating like metal scraping stone.Xayn’s jaw tightened. His body screamed at him to move, to fight, but exhaustion weighed on every limb.Sean’s eyes flicked to the satchel. “And look at that. You even brought me a gift. What’s in t
