The End of His Life - Again

"..." (???)

Is this really the end?

"----, we should go now." (???)

"..." (???)

I remained silent, only staring towards the large dust cloud approaching us.

"----, are you alright?" (???)

"...I'm sorry." (???)

"What are you saying? The boat is about to leave." (???)

"...This was all my fault. And I have to put a stop to this." (???)

"...----, what about our child?" (???)

I turned around to face my wife.

She gently caressed her, no, our child, as tears start to streak down her face.

"...He won't be born without his father. I swear." (???)

I took out a letter and handed it to my wife.

“...If I don’t make it, pass it to our child.” (???)

My wife said nothing.

“...Goodbye. Until we see each other again.” (???)

“...Until we see each other again.” (???)

I turned and ran towards the oncoming monsters.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Monster War.

A legendary fight between the monsters and humanity.

It is said that when humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction, the war will mysteriously end.

As he ran to meet up with the army fighting back against the monsters, he thought back on his past adventure.

He was known as the strongest warrior for a long time, until he was defeated and a new champion took his title.

From then on, he lived his life as an adventurer.

He faced many challenges along the way, but he overcame them all.

Even when the new strongest hero when rogue, he chased after and killed him, ending his reign of terror.

With his final challenge in front of him, he swore in his heart to survive.

Survive for the sake of his family.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(???)

“Retreat! Retreat!” (???)

Catching my breath, I used my sword to support myself.

Everyone had been fighting for about… five hours now?

The army has taken on at least fifty to sixty percent casualties, while the monster army has taken about forty percent.

The monsters have stopped for now, but there’s no time to rest.

I sat on the floor of the battleground.

“...” (???)

I would never want my son to know the harshness of the battlefield.

The amount of suffering it brings, the pain given, I will stop it even if it takes my life.

A horn blows out from the base camp.

“Shit! They’re coming again!” (???)

I hurriedly got onto my feet and grabbed onto my sword.

A scout riding on a horse shouts out a message I wish I didn’t hear.

“The entire monster army is charging towards us! Retreat! Or none of us will make it out alive! I repeat! Retreat! Or none of us will make it out alive!” (Scout)

Are you kidding me!?

If this army is routed, the last of humanity will perish.

...I can’t let this happen.

This time, I won’t let things be like my last life!

“...Berserker’s Cry. Light Steps.” (???)

I casted some slight buff magic onto myself.

I slowly walked towards the approaching army.

The scout spotted me and called out to me.

“Oi! Are you insane?! Retreat now!” (Scout)

I ignored him and kept walking.

I don’t want anyone to die anymore.

...no one will die anymore.

...die anymore.

...die.

Die.

I increased my pace as I lifted my sword.

“DIE!!!” (???)

I charged into the approaching army, my roar spreading across the plains.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I fell onto my knees.

“Shit, I might really die now…” (???)

In my fury, I’ve somehow managed to destroy twenty percent of the remaining army.

From head to toe, I was covered in blood. Whether its mine or the monsters, I don’t know.

As the remaining monsters approached me, I suddenly remembered something.

My last resort.

Or so it seems.

Dark magic is very rare and has a high chance of failure.

During my travels, I’ve picked up a Dark book and learnt the spell by accident.

According to the book, I can use a spell from a creature of myths and legends, a monster which should never exist in this world.

In return for using this spell, I will die.

...If my life can make the world a better place for my child, I will do it.

I pushed myself up and raised my hand.

“...Oh beast of myth and legends, I ask of you. The one who seeks death and soaks everything in its path with blood, I request to use your power.” (???)

My heart begins to pound wildly inside my heart.

My mind begins to fill up with information.

...So I get to choose which ability to unleash.

“...Of darkness and blood, death and destruction, to trap my foes with thy darkness manifestation.” (???)

Shit, I feel like my body is going to explode.

...This is the end!

“...DOMINION!!!” (???)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the soldiers retreat towards the docks, they spotted a large black mist appear in front of the monsters.

The soldiers were frozen in shock. All they could do was stare as the monster's’ death cries could be heard.

A few minutes later, the black mist disappeared.

A few scouts were sent to investigate the mist.

All they found was one man’s corpse, and a field of blood.

Hey guys, IAmTheKroc

I hope you like this new prologue.

The story change is going to be a bit huge because I need to give 'the main character' a reason to do things in the next life.

Stay tuned for more Re:ptile!

Thanks for reading.

Peace
