ow can I help you?" He asks me with a smirk, just as I enter.
"Cut the crap and tell me where the fuck she is?" I slam my hands on his table.
"Who boy? I don't know what you are talking about." He tells me with a sly smile.
"Bullshit." I spit out. "You took her, you took my Victoria. Tell me where she is!!"
"Oh, the sweet, pretty girl." He hums. "You are talking about the beauty that was brought in yesterday by Matteo." He smirks. The vein in my forehead starts to throb.
"I won't ask again." I threaten him. And these threats aren't empty. If something happens to her, I'll kill every person who was involved.
"I'll give you a hint." He says while I stand here impatiently. "She is where you started it all, where it all changed. Matteo was pissed, he took her there."
That is enough for me to know where she is.
"If something happens to her, I'll kill you and that fucker, Matteo." I give him my last glare before blasting out of the door.
God please, keep my Victoria safe. I can't live without her. I'm nothing without her.
"Rico fucking get Luigi. I'll be back."
I ignore his yells towards me and Sprint outside jumping over the dead bodies.
Fuckers.
I get inside my car and hold the steering wheel with trembling fingers. My heart is hammering in my chest. If something happens to her, I won't be able to forgive myself.
I won't forgive anyone.
With sweat dripping down my body I walk aimlessly around the woods. All my worst crimes started from here.

Then I see her.
Victoria is lying lifeless on top of the big rock. Blood dripping down her forehead. Her white shirt is now mostly red.
Without wasting a second I run towards her and drop on my knees next to her.
Only looking at her makes me sob. I tug at my hair painfully. I place my hands in her cheeks. They are so cold. Cold as ice.
"Ria? Baby? Please wake up." I say putting her head on my lap. "Baby you need to get up for me."
I check her pulse.
There is no pulse.
No heartbeat.
Nothing.
She is not waking up.
She is not here for me to tell her that I love her.
She's not here for me to show her how much I love her.
"Victoria Forbes don't you dare die on me. You are going to be fine. Just fine." I sob out.
"Victoria. Baby, please don't this to me I just got you, you can't leave me." I cry on her chest.
Her beautiful tan skin is paler than ever. Her glow has been disappeared and her pink soft full lips are dry and cracked.
I can't believe he killed her.
It's all my fault.
All my fault.
A sound escapes me that is more like wail than anything.
I'm going to kill each person related to
I cry and cry on her chest. This is the end of the world for me.
I can't describe the anguish I'm feeling. I took the life of the woman I love. I can't live with this.
I continue crying but when I hear a sound my cries cease. I look up to see...

8 238The Normal Dungeon Core: Lethe
Just a normal, standard, no extra frills or gills, dungeon core LitRPG novel in a fantastical world. And as usual, a system exists! Prologue: You know all those stories about reincarnation? Where our beloved (or hated) protagonists are transferred to a new world to conquer, defeat the demon lord, rescue the princess. or are made into mythical gems of power with control over Monsters and Men (psst..a dungeon core)? Where they get a cheat-like ability, are special, granted privileges, or have knowledge from another world? Well, I read about them too in my spare time before I came here. At least, I think I did. Now, you might be asking, where is 'here' ? To answer your somewhat specific, yet vague, question my dear audience...I don't know! But what I do know is that...well nothing other than I had a past life...I think... Anyway...You are correct in assuming that I was indeed reincarnated into a dungeon core! But... ..I have no idea who I was. ...I don't seem to have any special powers or skills or cheats. ....And I was specifically told by Mr. S that I am not, and never will be, "special." Now, if you are confused, then I'm doing a great job, because you probably have no idea what I'm talking about, I haven't given you a background story, or taken you through the last few hours of my new existence. We will get to that! I promise! The main reason I am telling you this absurd and completely delusional preface, is to introduce to you the idea that I, as in me, the new dungeon core, am not "special".............. With that out of the way, how about we rewind time a bit to when I...developed my consciousness? Yes? Great! Lets goooooo! ---------
