《The World Destroyer》Chapter 1: I Was Wrong
Advertisement
"Hey! Watch where you're going!"
"S-Sorry."
"You know who that is, right?" "Am-am I cursed?! Hahaha!"
The train finally stopped at the next town over, where my school is located.
"My Twitter followers finally reached 10,000!"
Whether it be fame, fortune, or getting someone you "love", it reeks of this fact. We were taught of this subconsciously since our childhood, from celebrating birthdays to resolutions at New Year's.
I enter the school grounds and head to my classroom, Class 3-A.
"You should totally dye your hair blonde! You'll look like Taylor Drift!"
People aren't satisfied unless someone special notices them or they become the special one. Of course, this is all for naught. And they know it too. When someone dies in the news, you don't hear condolences. When people fail at their love, they say "There's plenty of fish in the sea."
Inferring from the name, 3-A, it is indeed full of the “top” people in this area.
"Sorry, I have to go to the music club later."
Nobody knows the national musician of some third-world country. No one remembers the average Joe of the 5th century.
In the end, everyone is the same.
Different cliques such as nerds, jocks, and the popular exist too.
"Hey, what are you writing for your future career?"
Everyone who tried to reach their dreams and failed. Everyone who just tried to lead happy lives.
They die.
But, I don’t belong to any of them.
This is my realization, my epiphany of humanity. And I have to thank every single worthless trash beside me whom I had to call my "peers". Adolescence must be rough for the common people. A time where they most desire this "individuality". Some burn the midnight oil and some delude themselves in their circles, hoping for the unique. But I am not like them. I was already born different.
Because all of them are mediocre.
"I'm home."
"Welcome back, Pacific!"
These eyes of mine. One red and another blue. Mom always described it as, "A fiery volcano beside the calm sea." And that's why I can sense this aura around me. A swirling wind of envy and lust where boys confess to me with the same excuses I heard over and over again like, "I fell in love with you when I saw your eyes!", and girls around me secretly whine and envy me about how tall I am and how exotic my eyes and nose are. But it isn't my fault. I was born this way. If I wanted something, I could probably get it. I was always called beautiful. My school performance is superb. My family is rich.
Unlike them, I'm perfect.
Nobody is supposed to be perfect.
"That's why I'm just the same as you, Catsuragi. We only exist because we're mistakes. If you had normal eyes, you might have had a normal life. Instead, you're here with me." I finally lie down beside the peaceful cat on the bed. I closed my eyes wondering when this will end. Before my consciousness faded, I found my answer.

Light knocks at my eyelids, I open them, and daybreak arrives. I fixed my bed, tooka quick shower, and wore my school uniform. I sat with my mother at the dining table, did a quick greeting, and ate. This was my daily routine so far, but today I have different plans.
"Mom. Do you have hair ties?"
"My, My. You're planning to change up your style?"
"Yeah. Where is it?"
"It's inside one of the drawers in my room."
"Okay."
So I went inside the room, searched each drawer, and got what I needed.
"Found it. I'm just gonna do it at school. I'll be going now."
"Okay. Have a good day!"
I walked the usual path. A long, winding road downhill facing the sea. Just walking straight along the road, you'll reach the station I ride to school. But that's not where I'm going today. Before reaching the station, there is an alley that leads to another road. That road passes under a tunnel.
"Ah, young miss. You're here again." said a ragged old man lying inside the tunnel.
"Yeah." Before the hobo says more things, I walked quickly and following the road, I ended up at the beach. Walking along this beach, I finally reached this perfect place, the cliff. Below are calm waters, and above is a clear morning sky. It's a very beautiful day.
*ding-dong*
..is that... bells? It must be my imagination because there's no one near here. Anyways, from here, I can see the whole town. Built on rolling hills overlooking the ebbing tide. I sat near the edge of the cliff and opened my bulky handbag. Moving aside my books and such, I get what I searched for earlier. There's still some ammo inside. Safety's still on.
"SIG Sauer."
This is my answer. Since I already have everything, doing it now wouldn't matter at all. We're all going to die anyways. Might as well speed it up? I held up the gun and pointed it to my left temple. Why was I born? Right now, I feel neither happiness nor sadness. I feel empty. I slowly pull the trigger. I blinked as the world fades into darkness. If only...
"If only I was normal."
Huh?
Wait….
I do have a wish.
*BANG*
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH FUCK!"
"There we go."
I collapsed on the ground and trembled from the agonizing pain, writhing from the burning sensation in my ears with blood gushing out while high-pitched ringing and nauseating pain takes over my entire conciousness and I kept panting and panting and despair is all I could think of. Nothing is entering my mind except chaos. Everything started to fade into a blinding white.
What is this? It feels... I don't know. One moment everything hurts then suddenly there's this pure warmth in my chest while everywhere... is this never-ending brilliance. Fragrance. People with smiles. People with wings and haloes... Beyond is a colossal gate. I see someone. Someone lying at the ground. Pale skin. Long black-haired girl. Her eyes... Red and blue. That's right... it's me. Me? Huh??

I opened my eyes wide open and saw a tall, slender man, wearing a plum robe and holding a long wooden rod. His mere presence is intimidating. It's as if his entire figure is radiating the entire spectrum of light.
"Good morning, Ms. Pacific Hanasaki."
"W-Where was... I?"
"Not 'Where am I?' ?"
"Yeah. That feeling of incredible... undiluted euphoria... what exactly was it?"
"Heaven."
"Huh? Heaven? D-Did I die?"
Reality started to kick in. I'm on the ground, holding a gun. Everything seems to be hushed and cold while fresh blood is dripping from my ears. I cover my ears first because it stings a lot. I tried to make sense of what's happening
I remembered now. I killed myself... so why am I alive? Why is there a mysterious man here? What is happening? It's best to get everything in order first. First of all:
"Who are you?"
"I am Raziel! Angel of Mysteries and the Keeper of Secrets! Most of this universe, knowledge and wisdom, I possess."
He opens his arms widely as if he's embracing the entire world. Huge wings of feathery silver appear on his back. Each mere flap dazzles my eyes. Right now, I'm massively confused. He's says he's an angel, which is absurd. That's right. I must be dreaming. Although everything feels real, I must be still sleeping in my bed, waiting for tomorrow to come. Nothing has happened. I still haven't done "that". That idea of mine... is a mistake. Knowing this is just my fantasy, I decided to play along for the sake of it. Probably Miyuki-san's eccentricity rubbing off me.
"As for your second question. Look." He opened his palm and on it are remains of a bullet.
"I stopped it by covering the muzzle with my own hands." I see... angels are invulnerable. Wait- "I never asked two questions."
"I just told you. I have immense knowledge about this world, including your mind."
"Of course. So-"
"And I know you think this is all a dream. I'll tell you right now. It isn't."
"That's ridiculous. I would never-"
"You tried to commit suicide, and you failed."
"Didn't you just say I failed because of you?"
"Yes. I did."
"Then, why would you save me?"
"For the last human was born."
The last human...?
"You heard the Bell of God, right?"
Bell of God... wait!
*ding-dong*
..is that... bells? It must be my imagination because there's no one near here.
"Remember it now? It signals the Last Judgment. Now that the 100,000,000,000th human is born, God decided."
Bell of God? Last Judgement? This is just ridiculous. When will I wake up already?
"He decided that all the living shall enter his kingdom... except people like you, who bear the greatest sin. You, who threw away the gift of life... well, almost did."
When did trying to commit suicide became the greatest sin? Am I going to fucking hell?
"You're right. You're going to HELL. You still have hope though. There is only one way to go to Heaven."
"Heaven... that absolutely magnificent place?"
"You need to purge this Earth. How? You think?"
He smiles widely and says, "You kill EVERY SINGLE SINNER OF THIS EARTH AND REMAIN ALIVE."
Me... kill... every sinner? Every-single-sinner-on-this-planet?! What the hell is this "angel" saying? Sinners are.... people who tried to kill themselves.... right?
"There are people like me?"
"Indeed. There are who attempted the same as you, but not for the same reasons. You are... peculiar."
I do know that.
“Abuse, depression, sickness, and such. Those are not my reasons. I merely arrived at the most logical conclusion.”
Or so I thought. I did have a wish. I almost made an error, but thankfully, I realized it in this dream. That's right. I'll just live my life like I always did, being Pacific Hanasaki: The paragon of calm and composure, envy of women and lust of men! The smartest and most athletic girl these people have ever known. Yeah... It's time to wake up now. This is not like me. This is wrong. I was wrong.
"You're still going with that ridiculous theory of yours?! You must be delusional. Hey... People wake up when they experience pain, don't they?"
I won't break from this dream of mine. Because I'm perfect... right?
"Then, I'll let you experience the greatest pain. You ungrateful child."
No... I made a mistake.
"Burn."
Suddenly, everything started to rise above me. Everything from all directions, the sky and the ground are one and the same.
Descending, I feel tinges of cold. Hotness. Black and white. Screami͞ńg͠. Iс wхaт hiьͣ̒́͆ͧsͫ ͂̐ͭͨ̎ͪ̎саyиnг евeн̀ ̴̷͞т͟͞р̀͘͘u͜е?

8 508Ebony Chitin - Adventures of The Hive
Ebony Chitin - Adventures of The Hive is a story centered around a Hive mind bug elf, and her favorite human-dwarf mutt Richard. The story will shift perspectives between the two, as well as other members of the Hive. Follow along on their adventures for; the friends they make, the enemies they slay, and the questions they seek to answer. Thank you for reading, as always. ^.^ Afterword: Hello there everyone, and welcome back those that have already read the first story. If you are new, don't worry too much about the first step of the series. Truly, this second part aims to cover most of what was done there. Those that have read it will know a few secrets and plot points before we see them. Though it shouldn't detract from your reading of this one. Honestly, the first one was a bit rough, but do as you will. I will warn that this will tackle some serious topics and might end up getting rather explicit in terms of what is done or seen by the characters. There is a bit to cover, so I'll explain what I can between chapters without overloading anyone, hopefully. -Cover Art drawn by Cozie [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

With finding him, she is forced to realize that her dreams overlap into reality, sometimes in frightening ways. The Dreamwalker Series was written as a number of short stories. Several of the stories are quite old so the writing style and mood of the pieces may shift in between each title. Some stories are flash fiction, and so may seem rather brief and abrupt. This story will be uploaded in a non-linear format.
