《Life of the dark god》Chapter 26 Madness
Advertisement
Badump.
My best friend died in front of my eyes and I wasn’t able to save her. When I realised what happened, my mind kept working nonstop. Pictures of our time together were flowing through my head. My chest felt hot, it was a bursting pain, was it because of the injuries I received or because of the loss of Kylie? I didn’t know. I thought about how we first met in the village, how we travelled around, the fun we had, the memories we shared together.
I knew that this person was now dead, I got depressed and sad. I kept criticising myself for being so weak. For underestimating the enemy. I thought of things which had to do with Kylie, but when I came back to reality, she was dead and I would never be able to talk to nor see her again.
I realised that that was the end but I didn’t want it to be true. I didn’t want to let her go and before I knew it, tears were flowing down my face. Tears? I haven’t cried at my mother’s death, I haven’t cried at my brother’s death but now I am crying?
Why?
My brain stopped working, time stopped flowing and I stopped moving.
Badump
Why did this have to happen? Wait, what happened again? Why am I crying? What was I doing here? Why did I live?
Bad…
My heart stopped.
Was that the end? Didn’t I have something left to do?
When my heart stopped, I fell to the floor, with my head hitting the hard metal.
Death. What was that again?
…
I lied at the floor not moving. The thought that I had something left to do was flowing in my head. It was unbearable. I didn’t feel any pain but I couldn’t bear the thought of having something left to do.
I wasn’t able to resist anymore, so I stood up again and opened my eyes. When I looked down at my body, or what was left remaining. I didn’t feel anything when I looked down and saw that half of my body was missing, while the rest was in a really bad shape. My heart didn’t beat. I shouldn’t be able to live, but here I was moving. You could say I was a like a zombie.

Suddenly some of my memories came back one after another. I remembered the pain, the rage I went through.
Bad…
My heart started beating again slowly.
Badump.
Now it beat like it was supposed to, but odd enough, it increased its speed even further. Rage overcame me when I remembered the feelings I had. And before I knew it, my thoughts were transported into the white space. But that time it wasn’t the white space I was in. That time it was pitch black. It was darker than the mana sphere and filled with emotions like rage, hatred and bloodlust. A normal person would have received an instant mental breakdown but what was with me? I already had one so I had nothing to lose.
I was trapped in that darkness, but I was fine with it. I didn’t care. I gave away the control over my body to my feelings. I let the emotions which screamed revenge, kill them, and much more handle everything. I sat in the black space and just watched what was about to happen from then on.
I knew that my body wasn’t under my control anymore, because the dark energy I normally emitted, went berserk. When I fought before, I would focus my energy and mana to support me and would never let it leak out too much. But this time was different. The black mana was going wild as much as it wanted without restraint. My body was moved by the goal to kill, to get revenge on those who killed Kylie, on those who let me suffer so much.
Step after step, I gave in to the darkness for power. I went through the tunnel back to the room with the sword. My first aim was to kill everyone in there. Until my body reached it, I had a few thoughts.
Perhaps the SS danger level chaos dragon felt the same when it went berserk. Did it have to go through the same as me? I wouldn’t wish anyone to go through this.

My thoughts were interrupted by screams. Screams of agony and fear. When I focused to look through my eyes, I saw 2 humans who probably were the guards there.
Why did they scream? In my opinion they are perfectly fine. There are their bodies, over there are their limbs and I probably have 1 head in my hand. Nothing missing, right? No wait, 1 head is missing.
Their remainings were dispersed on the ground and I could feel that my hand was crushing something.
Some more humans were coming in my direction because of those screams. When they saw the situation, they also screamed but this time my body didn’t do anything.
“M... Monster! Hoy, we need help he…”(Human)
Now it moved, and his head was gone. The others just watched frightened. Now everyone knew that something was wrong. A lot of humans were moving in my direction and preparing to fight but before they could do anything, all of them died one after another. The favourite move of my emotions was to have mercy and just behead them.
The human leader, James with his comrade, as well as Matt and Rose also noticed the screams and walked over slowly. Before they reached me, I could hear a disgusting voice talking.
“We are almost finished with the ritual, what is it now?”(Human leader)
With James in the front and Rose in the back, they arrived at the scene. When they saw the pool of blood as well as all of the corpses they changed their expression. They stopped acting high and mighty and were on guard.
“What happened here? Who or what are you?”(James)
I know them. They had something to do with what I wanted to do. Now, I know, didn’t we fight a few minutes before? Why can’t they recognise me? It doesn’t matter.
I thought to myself. It was silent until I was awoken by a sudden statement.
“Is Kylie already dead or did you just leave her alone?”(Rose)
Everything went silent. Slowly, also memories of Kylie came back. I could once again remember some things we did together, like how we met, how we helped people with money and some more.
The people on her side just looked at her and wondered why she would provoke me further after what happened.
“You know I even had the chance to save her with that talisman here. It can heal 1 wound instantly.”(Rose)
She said and showed me something. After that she started laughing.
Was death something funny?
In the next instant my body moved with the intention to kill and Rose’s right arm with the talisman as well as the human leader’s head was missing. I stood behind the group and held those in my hands. I started smiling and laughing like an insane person and crushed them.
I remembered everything now. How they betrayed me, how they killed Kylie, how they took her away and now they even had the guts to make fun of her. When I did, my mind was blank and my body was filled with the intention to kill. The final sentence I could say was.
“I will make sure that no one will leave this island alive.”(Me)

Viridescent Core
Some mortals see dungeons as a plague to destroy. Some mortals see dungeons as a resource to manage and harvest. Some mortals see dungeons as a place to train and advance. However, all of them agree on something. Dungeons are unnatural and deadly. Places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive. What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all. Feel free to write any comment, suggestion, or criticism. I read and appreciate every single one! Releases are on Mondays and Thursdays. With occasional bonus chapters on Saturdays. Have a nice day ^^

Kreig Goes Apesh*t (An AU of Returning to No Applause)
An AU of my previous story, Returning to No Applause, that asks the simple question of "What if it all went wrong?" When Kreig first appears on Earth again, after being stranded in another world for 130 years, he finds himself faced with weapons and guns. In a fit of instinct, he accidentally murders one of the many Fighters, causing what can only be described as a massacre to take place. The story that follows this simple premise is completely opposed to the one told before, focusing less on character improvement and more so degradation. It should come as no surprise that I personally recommend reading the OG story before checking this one out, and if you've already done so, great! Swell havin' ya! Any such readers might remember that I mentioned writing a story like this a while back, and... Here we are. This is in no way a continuation or sequel, nor will it be very long. Expect around 15 chapters at most depending on various factors. All and all, the 5-page length will remain the same (apart from chap. 1) and so will the release time, Sundays at 20:30 EST (I think?). All that aside, I sure hope you'll enjoy this! It'll obviously be very different from the OG story, but I personally think that's a good thing. Cheerio!

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
