《The Final Light》Chapter 10: the dark side of light

Why are you here why, you are me but I would not do this to a person at all it is too despicable, well I am going to leave it at that I am the more brutal and action taking side then you are, the more Action taking side then I am, do you mean I just sit and discus things with people and you are a the person who does the killing if that is so that is wrong, you are also the side who is more into morals of not killing people, but we should stay together because of these times not fight each other like animals would, well we humans are animals like every other creature just more developed.
I walk to the door that leads to stairs and go down to the bottom level and leave the building stepping into the graveyard that most would want to forget including me, was he around when we went to through hell on our first expedition if so, he has a selective time to become in control. I just continue to walk away from that scene and meet my team at the meeting point, that’s it just meet them there and forgot about all of this, why would want to you forget it? I won’t and that means you won’t forget it, so get used to it he is saying how fun.
Few hours later
I am at the location and the voice has shut itself up and no longer talking why did it though only I can hear him right, is he doing this because he just wants to keep me in the dark about him or he is resting himself, “Sir, you are here are you injured did anything happen” I hear from behind, I look behind me to see the team cresting over the ruble, people running towards me and some still on standby watching for the Aku-no all I could hear was Sir this and Sir that, all I could hear was sir that made me happy a little bit.
“Yes, yes I am fine don’t worry” the looks of worry washed away knowing their leader is not disappearing anywhere anytime soon, “sir the reinforcements from High command are going to be arriving earlier than expected” Kimber said walking towards me, “they are going to be arriving tomorrow at 0900 hours they were not expecting to have a lot of men ready for the attack in this short of a time frame” this short of a time frame? It has been 2 hours and 30 minutes on the dot, since we contacted them and they are ready for an attack now holy, people wish to fight, I guess. “that is something, I never knew people after the speech were inspired to fight, well that is good to hear we are almost out fight power so I guess god is on our side this time” god could be on our side, I look up to the hole that is above us, “sir I have a question though, why are wearing a gas mask” well to be fair they have a good reason to ask “well look up I am not sure if you have noticed yet but when we acted on the plan I noticed well remembered that there is holes in the dome to the outside” they all look up to see the hole and realize why I am wearing one, one of the guys then go ‘ahhh we see now’ then they take a few seconds to process it and they all rush to acquire gas masks “that is one thing that is needed to be passed on to high command” “yes that is sure sir, get me a radio for the commander so he can pass information to High commanded” Kimber yells so that the people who operate the Radio, after a little bit the radio comes to me, I thank them and wave them off, “High command this is UTC, Richard thorn we have information, we recommend that you have access to gas mask’s as multiple holes in the dome and the affects that come down from it is a sense of confidence and that of voices speaking, Over and out” with what I said done it took a while for them to but when they did it was nice to hear them I guess, “Copy that UTC, Thorn we will pass that information down to land team, out”

Now that I have time to talk and not focused on something I can say we did some good research, Aku-no are weak to highly concentrated heat, and there skin is somewhat made of a concentrated ice to form some kind of hard surface that will stop normal rounds but not heavy rounds from a fixed position weapon or just heavy vehicles, they seem to have a hierarchy system in place as different shades of Aku-no seem to represent leadership roles. That is all I have so far, I would hope they do not have a queen that just spews out more and have royal guard types as well.
All right now were to camp out for the being until help arrives, that place could do, actually no it will not.
Unknow Location in last light
Dark so dark, it is cold as well what happened if the place were to become extremely cold and hostile? “What do you mean Kyles men were wiped out the Aku-no should have been focused on UTC, Richard thorn not us” wait, what is going on “but sir, it does not seem impossible though as that squad has high amount of security on its information on what it has been trained in not even the low command that we have taken in has any clearance to look at it” why are they trying to get information on Richards team? Rhetorical question Beth that is obvious why they are.
“I don’t want to hear it, we need him and his team gone if it is to continue the high command will find out about the uprising I doubt they have found out already but time is not on our side” “yes sir we will try and act upon his removal faster” the talking stopped and a pair of footstep is coming toward the door of……… my room!
I rush over to the bed in the room and seat there and try to act like nothing happed and that I heard nothing they said, the door opens and Jacob walks in happy as can be, but a little while ago he was annoyed at what he heard from his subordinates, “oh, Beth thing are hard lately and it is getting really unfair towards me” he continues to walk over, adding in a small little jump here and there, then stops “say who do you think is better, Me, Me, Me or Richard. Obviously, me right it has to be” I move back as I just feel like something bad is going to happen and I just feel like he will just spring that bad something, Action? Words? What is planning to do, but if I do not give him an answer that bad feeling is going to get worse “I don’t know who I think is better, but”
Before I could finish, I was grabbed by my throat and lifted into the air slowly suffocating, “now let me be clear that what I say will be final and that I am the best man out of the 2 I give you” his tone of voice sounded so hateful and serious that I started to cry because I knew if this was the beginning I would be wanting to die and nothing else but just a husk.

“Yes I understand, you are the greater person out of Richard and you” he started to loosen his grip on my throat when I said it, his face was filled with a smile, I just want to leave and be rid of him. He lets me go, I drop to floor gasping for air, he comes down to my level to look me in the eye, “why are crying my love, why are crying, did I make you cry, or was it Richard” I don’t answer him as if I do I don’t want what happened earlier again, “ahh, it obvious it was him and not me, did he say something that hurt you, if so I will kill him” if he tries to kill him I think he will die first then Richard but father in the future.
Sector: H-55
At this moment we have been walking for a good half an hour when it is pitch black, we can obviously see because of the NVGs (Night Vison), at this moment I well we cannot find a place to set up shop, but we will find a place.
“Sir, we have contacts, to the immediate left around 600 out” 600 out huh that far out we have some time before they notice us, I wonder how long before they notice how far does a Aku-no need to be to see us maybe around 400 or 300 meters away, after all they don’t have eyes so don’t see long distances very well I assume, “continue with the pace we are at, it is too far away to see us anyway” I say, after I say that the team continues to move forward to find a new home to call FOB go fuck yourself, and speaking of FOB go fuck yourself I think I have found a place that could work, although we need to move fast as the Aku-no is not that far away.
I give the signal to stop the convoy, “have two units check out that building see if we can set up camp in there tonight and find a place to make a FOB tomorrow, copy that” “copy” I hear from multiple Unit commanders, men pass my unit to head for the building and scout it out, after a few minutes they come back out of the house and give the signal for ‘good to go’, over the coms I hear people say move to the 5th house on the left and set up camp, but while waiting for those few minutes how did that Aku-no not see us by now.
We all head for the building to well do what we have been well I have been talking about, set up camp and get cosy for the rest of the night, although some of us don’t want to do that and set up fortifications so that when we are attacked we have places that we can fight from, and because we are wearing gas mask that must be really unconfutable sleeping in, I reckon this place will become FOB Go Fuck Yourself, although I don’t want it to become the FOB, and if so well it has to be a great day as FOB Go Fuck Yourself stand tall and will dominate the field of battle against the Aku-no or so that is what I like to think but alas reality am I right, Yes you are correct to think that. Oh, great Mr I am evil you but still is good is here, what do you need insane side of me, well nothing if you are being a dick like that, holy shit I just want to talk it is lonely in head. What is it you like to talk about how to fuck up my plan by trying to kill every noble possible if so, no I do not wish to talk, Ok someone is definitely angry, well I have been living for almost 21 years, and I have never and I mean never had anyone or anything talk inside my head and say they are me and wish to take over my body, I never said I wish to take over, last I heard you say was that we have limited time before we fucking die, alright I may have said that but not the part were we die part though, how else was I meant to take like oh cool I am going to die nice and peacefully, no, I meant it as we are going to have bad things happen if we don’t work together, that doe not help at all, well nether does your fuckery on how to do things, do you wish to talk to someone, yes, I will shut up now, thank you voice in my head, sounds like a very good cheap book title, Go shove a stick up your ass.

A blue marble floated in the unending void. On that marble, billions went about their lives, unaware that somewhere else, something had changed. Some requirement was met, and suddenly, a new type of energy saturated the universe. A mother closed her car's door and lifted a bag of groceries in an arm before vanishing into nothingness. Across the world, a teenager disappeared mid-word from a conversation with friends. In eastern America, Captain Octavius J. Asher of the US Army vanished from a mountain trail with no witnesses. People all over the Earth disappeared simultaneously. Such a thing would normally cause mass panic across the globe were it not for the fact that there wasn't a single person left on the globe to panic. Congratulations! Your universe has joined the System. Note: I wanted to read another litrpg apocalypse novel but couldn't find one. Thus, I decided to write one. The MC will be strong for a human but insignificant on a cosmic scale. No destroying worlds with a spell on chapter 25 in this novel. He will face challenges and be forced to make hard decisions. This serial now on hiatus for the time being :( Please rate and review. Constructive criticism is welcome!
