《Hatred: The Journey of the Madman [Old]》Ch 28: Just another day in the life of a madman.

AN: Sorry for the long wait. University started and with that came a lot of work. Anyway I don't know if I can realease as much as in the past but I will try my best. A strong enemy will appear soon. Maybe even in the next chapter. I will try to make a huge ass battle scene. Thanks for reading and for your support.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Holding the letter in my hands my hands begin to shake slightly.

"Your Highness?"

"Finally an answer. Quick gather the elders. I'll be waiting in the thorne hall."

"As you wish your Highness."

Without further ado I flap my wings and fly to the tower.

Sitting on my thorne I open the letter. While holding the letter in my hands I begin to read as my excitement starts to grow. The letter states that the king Franz von Velen of the Kingdom of Velen will come personally. The Kingdom of Velen is a human Kingdom. It is the Kingdom were I lived.

The letter further states that they will hear me out, without resorting to force if not deemed necessary. He will try to convince the other leaders of the kingdoms to hear me out at least. It also says that he will set a date of the visit.

Seems like they might be a bit more cautious, since a I made that tower. They probably try to see if I am a treat.

_ _ _ _

The elders arrive and and bow to me.

"Your Highness. You asked for us?" says Alvin the sinister looking elder with black hair.

"Drop the courtesy for today is a joyous day."

"If you wish so, your Highness." the elders bow.

"Ahh, don't do that, never mind, old man get us some wine."

The old man bows and leaves the room to get some wine for this happy occasion.

"Please elders have a seat."

We sit down at the table and the elders look at me.

"Your Highness for what reason have you summoned us?" asks Adrien the profound looking old geezer with white hair and beard.

"Good that you ask Adrien."

I take out the letter and wave it around.

"This-" Eric the youngest of the elders gets excited from anticipation.

"Is this what I think it is?" Alvin raises a brow.

"So someone finally answered, this was quick. As excepted of our King, even they can't ignore your might."

"Nicely said Adrien, this is a letter from the Kingdom of Velen."

"Your Highness, I bring you the wine."

"Ah old man perfect timing please fill every one a cup."

The old man nods and fills everyone a cup of wine.

"Is there something else you need?"

"I will call you when I need you."

He bows and leaves the hall.

Taking the cup in my hand the elders also take theirs.

"For the Kingdom of Furor cheers."

We begin to drink. In just one move I empty the cup, a warm feeling emerges from my stomach.

The elders just took one sip at first but seeing me taking it in one hit they also quicken their pace.

"Well back to topic"

I take the jar and an refill my cup, then take a big gulp from the jar.

I gave them the letter so that I don't have to explain everything.

"So what do you think elders?"

"This is great." Alvin's eyes widen.

"This is better than expected. I hope the King of Velen is true to his promise. Else I will fuck his grandmother." says Eric.

I look at Alvin, he seems to be lost in thoughts.

"What do you think Alvin?"

"Hmm, isn't this too good to be true?"

"Right on, I thought the same. This could be trap. That is why we need to raise an army as quick as possible. How many men do we have?"

"About 300 warriors and 120 mages. More people are being recruited. There currently 240 soldiers in training."

"That to few. If they come with their whole might we are doomed. How much ore did we mine?"

"Currently we have about mined half a tone of ore."

"Prioritize the mining and the training of the soldiers."

"It shall be done your Highness." Eric salutes.

"Good." I take one sip from my cup.

I begin to feel a bit of tipsy. This is some profound wine.

"Tighten the security, If some sucker tries to scout the area get his ass in front of me."

"Will be done your Highness."

"Okay, you can go."

The elders bow and leave the hall.

"Darling I am back"

Verrona comes in to the throne hall.

"What is wrong you look kind of pale."

Yea everything's spinning.

"I have overdone it with the wine. This body is not accustomed to such amount."

"Do you need something? Maybe some tea? Should I cast a detox spell?"

"No, don't, I am not such a pussy that needs to resort to magic. I will take care of my self."

Looking displeased Verrona scolds me.

"Don't be so stubborn and let me cast a detox spell."

"Humph, don't take me lightly. I have an ancient technique to deal with my misery."

"What technique?"

"It is a profound finger technique called "Drunken man's last resort"."

"Is that a material arts?"

"Yes and no, anyway I will use this ancient teqnique.You better wait here for the this is unsightly to see."

"No way I will come with you. I am curious what kind of profound technique this is."

"Don't regret it."

"Never."

Walking to the one of the many restrooms of the tower I came to halt in front of a door.

"It is your last chance."

"Humph, what could happen? Just go."

Entering the toilet I try to walk in a straight line only to fail.

"Why are we here?"

"This technique has to be used in a profound place."

"The restroom is a profound place?"

"You fool, where do you think the most profound ideas originate from? Of course in the restroom while shitting."

"I see... Wait you are kidding me."

"Humph believe what you want. I need more room, step aside a bit."

Verrona takes a few steps back with crossed arms.

"I need to chant a spell."

"Uuuhm... Okay."

I get on my knees and start chanting.

"One must drink responsibly for he will embarrass oneself. Yet I failed to recognize my limit . Forgive me god of wine for I will waste the sacred juice."

"Whaat nonsense."

"Ahhhh, finger of relief."

I stretch out my index finger and put it in to my throat.

"Gag!"

"What the hell?"

"Not enough."

I go deeper in to my throat to make myself vomit.

"Gag. Ouhh. Gag."

"What are you doing? That's strange."

"I told you. This will be unsightly to see."

"Shit. It won't come out. I need to raise my power level. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh."

"Forbidden technique "Two dragon tails dancing in heaven."

I add my middle finger and go deeper swirling around

"GAG...BBBLLLLAAAAAAAAGGGGHH"

With a tremendous force my puke sprays out of my mouth like a pressure washer.

"Kyaaaaaaa. Disgusting."

Hahaha this is awesome. How come there is so much pressure? Is it because my body is changed? Well whatever.

After ten seconds the pressure becomes less till there is nothing left.

"Puuh. That felt great."

I stand up and face Verrona who has a shocked and disgusted face.

"Don't make that face, it hurts."

"Hehehe, you were right. I regret it."

Verrona tries to smile hiding her disgust.

"Well, I told you. Now come here and give me a kiss."

I stretch my lips to receive a kiss, yet I only see a fleeing Verrona.

"Nooo, wash your mouth first."

"Hah, you think you can run? Amusing."

I dash off to catch her.

_ _ _ _ _ _

??? Pov

"Hmmm."

"What is the matter Ethan."

"Some one used the ancient technique."

"Whaat? That technique?"

"Yes my friend, the technique of relief."

The face of my old friend shows hint of excitement and joy.

"How long did you wait for such a person to appear?"

"So long that I stopped counting. Except for earth no world uses such technique anymore. He even chanted the chant of regret and shame, thus I could find him. Even thought it was not the right chant his intention reached me. He is an interesting one. Hahahaha."

"What are you going to do?" My friend asks me.

I place my hand on my chin and think.

"Hmm. I think I'll pay him a visit."

"Are you sure. The world he is in is governed by the goddess Chadera."

"That bitch can fuck herself. I will hide my presence. Fortunately I know a back door to her world."

"Becareful my friend."

"Don't worry hahahaha."

_ _ _ _ _ _

Now I have done it. I got slapped by Verrona. She told me that she won't come back until I am sober. * Sigh* My head is still spinning and I can't even walk straight. Maybe I should annoy Neurocarnium. I haven't seen him lately, I wonder what he is up to.

I should be more careful when drinking alcohol. You can't underestimate such drug or else you will shame your self.

Well, I should listen to some music. A bit of slice of life can't be bad. Can't always be playing a villain.

I stand up to reach my music player. Going thorough my music collection I wonder what to listen too.

"Hmm. Beethoven? Nah, not today. Hmm what about this one."

I look at the the CD. On the cover it says "Death".

Now this suits me really well, since I am kind of a villain.

I put the CD in to the player and turn up the volume. Since the the player is connected to the tower's speakers it is really loud.

I choose the title "A moment of clarity" and sit back on my throne.

Doing the air double bass with my feet. I kind of lose it since I am drunk as hell. I no more look like an air drum playing metal head. More like someone who has a seizure.

Suddenly the whole scenery turns gray and it gets silent.

"Huh? Who turned the music off? What the fuck?"

"Hahahahahahaha. Hohohohoho"

I hear some laughter yet no one is here. Looking outside it is like the time stopped. The birds are stuck mid air. I turn around away from the window only to see some old man.

That old man wears a tattered robe and is about 3 meters tall. . He is a bit more on the fat side yet looks more like a strong man. Only his beer belly betrays his mighty look.

He has a bald head which is flushed and a brown full beard. Behind his back a giant gourd is strapped.

The smell of alcohol spreads in the throne hall.

"Who are you?"

"Hohohoho, I came for you my friend."

"What the hell I am not your friend. Are you looking for trouble?"

The old man only smiles.

"Wait I need a drink."

He takes his huge ass gourd and takes a huge ass sip.

"Aaah, that felt great. You want some."

"No thanks, I had enough for today."

"Ahahaha, I see."

"So what do you want?"

The old man puts his gourd back.

"I am Ethan Ol, the god of wine. I came hear because I find you interesting."

Here goes my slow paced peaceful night of sobering up. judging his time stopping power he must be the real deal. What does he want.

'Wait did he said he is Ethan Ol?' Urkrass asks. He is kind of excited.

'Yeah, he said that.'

'I can't believe it.'

My body begins to glow and Urkrass the god of pain appears before me. He looks as mighty as ever. His spirit body is connected to me with a silver threat.

"Ethan, hahahaha long time no see."

"Urkrass? What are you doing here my friend. Hahahahaha. I didn't expect I would meet you here."

Urkrass and Ethan looked happy to see each other. Looks like they didn't see each other for a long time.

"So they seem to have some history." I say to myself while sigh to myself.

More and more gods appear in my life. This is somehow crazy.

"Look what happened to me. The god of pain is put in to this miserable state. I could barley escape with my life. The other gods destroyed my body."

"When I heard that you where in trouble I rushed to your aid but came too late as your body was already destroyed. I am sorry that I couldn't be of any help my friend. I thought you were dead for good. Oh, how happy I am too see you again."

A heart warming smile appears on the old man. He looks sincere and seems to truly regret not helping Urkrass in time.

"Don't feel sorry buddy. The thought is what counts. It is good that you didn't help me or else they also would have destroyed you. But how come you are here?"

"Ahh right. I came for Thorus."

"Why?" I ask.

Urkrass also seems like he wants to know.

"You used the technique of relief and even chanted the words of regret and shame. Even thought it was a bit different, your intentions reached me."

"You mean the chant I did while forcing myself to vomit made it possible to reach you?"

"Yes my friend."

This is like when I killed that cat and did a ceremony. These action even woke up the god of madness and made him have his eyes on me.

"I see. So why me? Isn't this technique common?"

"No, not on this world or other worlds with magic. Since with magic you can cast detox spells, this technique was long forgotten. Only on earth where there is no magic it is still a common practice."

"I see that makes sense."

So that is why Verrona was so shocked.

"Still why me. What is so great in me doing the finger of relief and chanting the words of shame and regret."

"I am glad you asked." he smiles.

"Your actions are worthy. These people who cast magic to detoxify them are trash in my eyes. They escape shame and regret by simply using a spell. Alcohol can make one happy, forget one sorrows or make one have a sociable night with friends. Alcohol can be you best friend and also your worst nightmare.

If you over do it you can regret a lot of things. This makes one make drink responsibly. Yet these fools drink and if things go out of hand detox themselves.

They avoid head aches and sickness. These things are suppose to happen. They are breaking the balance.Such pussies. Now my beloved alcohol is treated like nothing more than a thirst extinguisher."

Thinking for a while I kind of understand his pain. On earth we would have respect for alcohol, since drinking it recklessly could lead to death. But these people her just can avoid all the negative aspects alcohol has just by casting some magic.

"I understand Ethan. It pains me to see that your beloved wine is treated like a mere sports drink. I share your views. I didn't want to resort to magic because I would be sober in an instant. I wanted to enjoy my intoxication a little longer. I might have shamed my self, so what? I won't die from shame."

"True words my friend. You are worthy. I am glad to have met you. I will give you a little present for your mindset."

"My friend I am truly grateful."

"Hahaha, Thorus seems like Ethan has taken a liking to you. This doesn't happen to often. You better cherish it."

"Ethan I am going back. I need to rest to restore my power. I hope we will meet soon."

Ethan nodded while smiling.

With Urkass going back in to my body Ethan the god of wine snaps his finger and a green appears mid air. It is floating and is about 30 cm big.

"My friend this is a gourd is not your average gourd. You can pour water in it and it will turn in to wine. This wine is not your normal wine, it is divine wine which has medical properties. By drinking it you won't feel any pain and your injuries will be healed. But becareful this is some strong wine."

"Such a great treasure, I am great full my friend."

"Hahahaha for you my friend I don't mind. For me this is nothing but a toy. But for a mortal this is a treasure. I also give you a blessing."

With a wave of his hand my body begins to glow.

"What kind of blessing?"

"Nothing much. The blessing is called iron liver. With this you can drink a lot of wine before vomiting. But becareful you won't be immune to alcohol you only can drink a whole lot more before passing out."

"Thank you very much."

Ethan nods and the gourd comes flying to my hands.

"I need to go or else that bitch might Chadera might see me."

"I see Becareful my friend. Have a safe trip back."

"Hahahaha. Make me proud my friend. I will observe you from now on. I can't wait to see what will happen in the future."

I give a slight bow and raise my hand to say good bye.

Ethan nods and vanishes.

The times goes on and I am standing there with the gourd in my hands.

Just another day in the life of a madman.
