《The embodiment of pain, sadness, and hatred》Chapter 3 The power of darkness
Advertisement
The sun was about to set and I understood a little more about my power. Whenever something entered any part of the darkness I will immediately know what it is and where it is. It seems the darkness is like a part of my body. Which made me worried (If the darkness is harmed will I feel pain?) Also I can create many tentacles from the darkness but it takes a lot of concentration which forces me to stop moving in order to do so. Also my skill can look out from anywhere that is darkness and I can see out of the darkness for up to 50 feet. The weirdest thing about my new powers though is how when any of the three things I feel inside (Pain, Sadness, Hatred) grows the darkness seems to grow tentacles, arms with hands, and what looks like string all on it's own. Then they proceed to lash out at anything, even me. They destroyed trees and caused holes in the ground. Even though the arms and tentacles caused a lot of destruction. The string cut through trees like nothing was there.
I discovered this when what seemed like a wolf with hair that looked like steel attacked me. It took me by surprise while I was testing my powers. It jumped out from behind some bushes as I was walking by and bit me right where my right shoulder meets my neck. I could immediately feel the pain and the next thing I know the darkness around me goes berserk. When it attacked me though it went right through me. Next thing I know the darkness around me rises like tiny streams of water and enters the wound I received from the wolf healing it almost instantly. After this was done the darkness seemed to calm down. After the darkness returned to the ground I immediately looked at the damage.
Not only were the trees destroyed and the ground riddled with holes but bit's of the wolf were everywhere. It's blood covered everything except the darkness. It's flesh and organs looked like a knife went through them non stop. The largest part of the wolf that remained mostly intact was half its head. I immediately had the darkness cover the scene of carnage. I felt the bits of wolf enter the darkness but the wolf parts didn't disappear in the darkness like the plants and bugs did. It just stayed there in the darkness. I decided to figure out what this means later and used . It seems the darkness only destroyed everything within a 1 mile radius of me. (I should probably figure out how to control this before it becomes troublesome.)

After thinking this I started walking and tried to figure out how to complete my job. After a little walking I felt something enter the darkness about a few miles back. The darkness quickly consumed it and like the remains of the wolf it didn't disappear. When I focused on it I could see a rabbit about half my size surrounded by the darkness. I was of course confused about why this rabbit was so big but then I thought (This means that I don't have to personally destroy things I just need to cover everything in darkness.) Then it hit me (This means I literally have to go to every corner of the world to complete my job.) This made me depressed immediately since this could take a long time to do. After a couple of minutes of complaining about this I then stood up started walking and began thinking about how to shorten the time needed.
I continued walking and thinking until sunset. During the time I was walking a few more creatures entered the darkness. 1 was a giant spider that had a few feet on me and looked like a black widow. It grossed me out a little. The next were a few more of those wolves with fur that looked like steel. The last two however were foxes with silver fur. One was bigger than the other. The bigger one was the same size as the rabbit, had 4 tails and was seriously injured while the smaller one was normal sized and had 1 tail. The darkness seemed to keep the bigger one alive. After I looked at each of them I continued walking. Before the sun went down I found a cave and entered. Inside I found an answer to a question I have been asking myself (Is this even earth?) In the cave I found 4 dozen little green creatures that had pointy ears, big noses, and a big mouth filled with sharp looking teeth.
(....Goblins?!) That was my first thought upon seeing these creatures. While I was stunned and confused by these creatures they almost immediately noticed me and attacked. Some had large sticks that looked like clubs a few had spears which were sticks with a sharp end and the rest had tiny bows. The ones with bows immediately fired and hit me but something was odd. While the arrows were flying at me they seemed to be really slow. Which gave me enough time to think (These things are really slow. I wonder why? Maybe I can avoid them?) To my surprise I was much faster than the arrows. I was able to get out of their path completely. But I wasn't paying attention and one of the creatures with a spear stabbed me from behind.

I immediately felt the pain but this was a good chance to keep the darkness under my control. I began to concentrate to force the darkness not to create a massacre. It proved quiet difficult and before I could completely regain control of it again a few of the creatures were already ripped to shreds. After the pain ceased a little I grabbed the spear in my back only to find out it was sinking into my body and the only things left of the creature that put it there were its arms. The creatures that could see what just happened, the darkness attacked a few, cutting out their eyeballs. The others stopped attacking and had a look of both fear and anger on their faces and in their eyes. I then walked around the entrance of the cave so that if they tried to escape they would be pulled into the darkness. I then summoned some tentacles and attacked the creatures.
Either the creatures were really weak or the tentacles were really strong because they were able to pick up the creatures like they were as light as a feather. The tentacles were also able to tear the creatures in two as if they were paper. The ones I didn't kill I dragged into the darkness. A few did try to escape but they fell into my trap. This continued until half remained when I heard (URAAAGGAAAAAA). I turned around only to see the same type of creature only it was fatter than the others and had a helmet and metal armor on its chest. In each of its hands their were what looked like tiny swords just above being called a dagger. It was in front of the others who seemed like they were backing away. (Guess he's the boss.) as I thought this I noticed how pissed he looked. He just stood there giving me the evil eye and so I did the same. I guess mine worked better when I noticed the sweat forming on his forehead. Guess I have the changes to my eyes to thank for that.
It didn't seem to like this since it immediately charged toward me screaming it's head off and sword's raised. However before it got near me I had the tentacles grab each of it's limbs limbs and lift him up in the air. (Let's see how my powers work on it without dragging it into the darkness.) I then proceeded to experiment on him. I discovered that the tentacles not only tore through flesh and bone but metal as well. The armor was destroyed instantly as I forced it off his body to get to his flesh. Also when I ripped off an arm then proceeded to pour darkness on the wound as if the darkness was water. This thought originated from when the darkness healed me after I was harmed. Because of my connection to the darkness I could feel the warmth of his blood as it rushed into the darkness. (Guess I can't stop the bleeding.) As I thought this I made the darkness rush into its body. I kept adding to the darkness inside his body and making it expand through his body. Until he stopped struggling and next thing I know I am being filled with visions. (....No wait! These are memory's! This things memories!)
It seems I was correct in guessing these were goblins. This one seems to have become the leader only by killing those stronger than him and taking their stuff. As I looked through his memories I was able to learn the goblin language. All of a sudden a rough voice said (Give me your orders master.) It was the goblin leader that said this. (It seems I can make creatures loyal to no other than me.) I smiled when I figured this out. Then I turned to the other goblin's, approached them, and for the next few minutes only screams exited from the cave.

Having a Common Game Ability In Normal Life
As long as i can remember, i can see something other people can't see Yes, on the top right of my vision, i have something that looks like a map, does it useful? how does something that blocks 1/32 of my vision to be useful? Does it have to be useful.. right? As i get older, this looks like "mini-map" in a video game that i played, so i decided to call this Mini-map at least I'm not the only one with this kind of thing.. from what I've found, everyone has different ability, for example my little sister can see another person status, there's a person that can heal wounds by eating meat, there's a person that once a day can spin roulette to get reward, there's a person that can jump twice in the air and there's a person that can throw fireballs..... wait a minute!? the story will be slow, since i just write this to train my english anyhow the idea of this story will be if someone can throw a fireball does their hand burns? if someone can jump for 30m can they survive the fall? if a bard play a song that can regen their allies, why’s the enemy isn’t regenerating? if a cleris creates a barrier can their allies attack from inside barrier? and About the first few chapter i know the grammar was really bad but it’ll help me if you guys read the first few chapter and go straight to the last and tell me have i improve or not P.S i hope The world has “common language” feature so everyone speak in the same tongue lol
