《Hatred: The Journey of the Madman [Old]》Ch 17: Pain
Advertisement
The is opening and what I see is not what I have expected. Verrona was linked into a man's arm. Ha... Ha...Ha... I should have known. I am such a fool, to think I would get the love of my life. Fuck love it is all chemicals anyway.
Verrona was surprised to see all the roses. Well of course the great me arranged all that.
"Thorus did you decorate the room?"
"Who else could have done it? Who is that man ?"
Verrona was about to answer when the man answer in her stead.
"I am Gadoron her fiance."
No, the thing I didn't want to hear had been said. This bitch, she played with me. She thought I was just a kid fooling around. She didn't take me serious at all. She raised my hope and shattered it in an instant.
"Hahahaha, I understand. Now it is all clear. I make a great effort to impress you. I even set up this embarrassing shit and now you are saying you are engaged to such a fucking wimp."
"Watch your wor-"
Before he could end his sentence. Verrona came up to me and slapped me.Of course it didn't hurt all.
"You bitch, you like to play with the feelings of man so much? I won't ever believe you. You find me interesting? You want to know more about me? All that shit you told me. Treating my advances to just as a child's thing."
Verrona had a sad expression on her face and his fiance was angry for talking to her in such way.
"Watch what you say." he grabbed me by my collar.
"I won't allow you to bad mouth my woman."
"Gadoron let it be he is just a kid."
Verrona begged him to let go.
"I am kid huh? This kid has reached his limit concerning you assholes."
I grabbed Gadoran's wrists and applied a strong crushing force. His wrist cracked and he screamed in agony.
"Thorus stop it or I won't forgive you."
"As if that matters anymore."
Gadoran collapsed on the floor and called me a bastard.
Ignoring him I went to the music player and choose a title.
It was Love's Sorrow by Fritz Kreisler. Ah, this certainly suits my mood right now. The both looked at the music player dumbstruck for a moment.
Ignoring the tense situation Verrona asked what kind of music this was. As she never heard such sad yet beautiful music.
"It's Love's Sorrow by Fritz Kreisler. Funny isn't it, how this music suits the situation."
Gadoron who was also stunned by the music came back to his senses, almost forgetting what I did to him.

"You bastard I am not finished with you. You will pay for what you did to my wrists."
He stood up casting a magic spell.
"No Gadoran don't" Verrona tried to stop him but she was kicked.
Seeing that I became enraged. He finished casting, he fired multiple water balls at me. I didn't even bother to dodge.
"What why didn't I do any damage?"
Without saying a word and with the music still playing in background, I came up to him and hit him into the stomach.
Salvia and blood came out of his mouth as he collapsed. I gave one punch to his head and his nose broke. Another one, his jaw broke.He became unconscious from all the hits. Verrona begged me to stop, as I looked at her face I saw a crying sad Verrona.
"So you can cry for a bastard that kicked you. Hahaha. Have fun with him. I am sure he will threat you right" I said ironical.
"You are lucky, weren't it for you,I would have killed him. My time is done here."
I went to my room put my helmet on and took all my things with me.
Before I was about to leave Verrona said :"I-I am sorry."
I stopped and looked at her.
"For what."
"For not taking you serious and treating you like a child"
"I see. I am going."
As I was about to leave Sheena blocked my path.
"You asshole what did you do to Sir Gorodan"
"Nothing, now move out the fucking way."
She unsheathed her sword.
"You don't even have the guts to slay a person. How do you want to stop me with this."
I ignored her and moved pass her.
"You bastard don't take me lightly."
She charged me at my back.
"Master watch out"
Before she was about to slash me Verrona screamed.
"Let him go!"
She stopped her charge and me without saying anything left the village. The people looked at me with disgust.

With me being at the Forrest I thought of many things. The unrequited love of my. That Godoran bastard. The things I accomplish thus far. Nothing was satisfying. I fell a void in my heart and in my very being. A void which seemed endless.
I pitied myself.
'Master are you alright?' Aldea spoke to me.
'Does everything look alright to you?'
'I am sorry'
'Don't be. I am at fault for being this naive.'
'Do you need anything?'
'I appreciate your try to comfort me but now I want to be left alone.'
'I see. Tell me If you need me'

I wandered the Forrest without any direction in my mind, without any destination.
I don't want to go home. I don't want anything at all.
I began to run without any reason. I run and run.
After running for five hours full speed. I became tiered. My legs didn't want to move anymore so I forced my self till I collapsed. I watch the skies full of stars. It was dark already and I was still in the Forrest. One would say it dangerous to stay in the Forrest at night without making a camp in a save place. I didn't care, I was love sick, depressed, suicidal, call it what you want.
I closed my eyes and fall asleep.
_ _ _
Darkness everywhere. I was in a place full of darkness floating around as if no gravity exists in this god forsaken place.
It must be a dream. Nice, not even in my dreams I can be happy.
A voice called out to me.
"Thorus...Thorus"
"Who the fuck is there?"
"That's not a nice way to talk to me."
"I am tiered, what do you want?"
"Don't you want to know who I am?"
"I don't care. Just state your business."
"Do you want power?"
"Hahaha, that's funny."
"What is so funny young lad ?"
"No nothing it is just so cliché" I chuckled.
"Anyway do you want power?"
"Let me guess you want something in return?"
"No, there are no conditions."
"Now you piqued my interest. Who are you"
"Ah, great that you want to know. My name is Urkras I was know as the god of pain."
"God of pain hahaha don't make me laugh. Then why are you here and not up in your divine place or were ever you are supposed to be."
"There are reasons. I upset a lot of gods and was punished by them. They destroyed my body and I was able to escape to this mortal place with my soul intact."
"So you want my body?"
"Yes and no. I need a place to stay. Even If I am a god I can't stay in the mortal realm forever. My soul will weaken and I will lose all memories. It would be sad if I were to lose all the memories of the pain I have caused on the living."
"I see but what do you mean by yes and no."
"I need a place to stay and your body seems to be able to hold my soul. I will fuse with your body but I won't take control."
"Now that's what I wanted to know. I have a question how did you even find me?"
"I was just strolling around looking for a suitable person then I saw you. Sleeping in the Forrest without any worries in the world. I thought how mad can a person be sleeping in the Forrest like that. So I became interested. As I came closer I noticed your red-black mana. You seemed to have a corrupted soul and was not a beserk. I knew it when I saw you, you are the right one. Even you body was not like the other living being on this planet."
"I see that makes sense. What a great coincidence."
"Pahaha, indeed. I have a question are you by chance acquainted with the god of madness?"
My eyes widen in surprise.
"You know my god?"
"Of course, he was my boss. In our best times we slaughtered many beings, until he was imprisoned by that bitch Chadera. I tried to free him, that's why I was punished."
"I am sorry if I was rude to you, I didn't knew you were close to him. I was reincarnated by him to fight for his cause."
"Hahaha, you can relax not need to be polite. It is great to see that my boss has such a capable man is faithful to him. With him being sealed he was long forgotten by the mortals."
"I see. I will gladly offer oyu my body. Just don't control of it. I don't like being controlled."
"I said that already."
"Will I become god like."
"Hahaha, don't be a fool. Even if I fuse with you, you won't become like a god.Your body right now can't handle the power of the mighty me. But the more you train the more you can utilize my power."
"That's fine by me. You can start."
"That's what I wanted to hear you won't be disappointed lad."
In front of me I saw the soul of Urkras the god of pain, his soul had a purple aura. He looked like an old man with a long brown beard. He had horns and a black wings like an angle. His tail resembled to a monkey's tail.
He blinked at me and went into my body causing me great pain. I screamed but no sound came out in the dream world. Damn why does pain always have to be involved when becoming stronger. So the saying no pain no gain is true.
After 30 minuets the fusing finished and woke up. My body emitted now a red-black-purple aura.
My body felt much stronger. I felt like I could do anything.
'Master what happened when you fall asleep I lost the connection with you'
'Don't worry Aldea.'
'Hello Aldea' Urkras joined the conversation.
'I am Urkras the go-'
'He is just a homeless old man whom I gave shelter get along you two'
'Whaaaaaat?'

8 70A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.

8 418The Third Spire
It has been decades since the Wizardly Order rose and helped the Realm to banish the monstruos Elfey from its lands by building the Five Spires. The kingdom has prospered greatly in the time since, advancing both in the magical arts and the more mundane technology. The Wizards have grown too, gaining influence and spreading throught the Realm, Wizards' Towers dotting the landscape on many regions. But as the Realm grows and starts looking beyond its borders, the Wizards are faced with one insidious enemy inside its own borders. Master Garner, a wizard in the scarcely populated far West of the Realm, feels the situation getting out of hand, and a violent purge forces him out of his beloved Tower. The wizard takes his apprentices and allies in search of uncertain safety in the Third Spire. Some sources of inspiration for this story, for variable reasons: Riyria Chronicles, The Wandering Inn, Gentleman Bastard series. Note: First dedicated attempt at writing. I'm looking for feedback, and I will appreciate if you point out any mistakes. Updates: Tuesday, and every other Thursday, as life allows it.

"You forgetting anything?" Her husky voice rasped at me, pushing back the lump in her throat. My eyes began to water as I looked down to the ground, watching a small ant crawl by my shoe. One foot was inside the small apartment we had shared and the other, the other was planted firmly on the cement step outside. Her words echoed around in my head. Am I forgetting anything? I was forgetting you I wanted to reply. Home to me was always a person. And now.... I was homeless. [-]Black Widow x ReaderParker!Reader(GxG)
