Bad Times.

Bad Times.

Feb 14, 2023


It hurts. It was so painful that I couldn't even scream, and now it's all dark around me again.
Suddenly my eyes opened, and I froze in terror, the Cerberus was looking straight at me, I thought I died but how, " I healed you" I heard a voice, I looked up to see who spoke those words, when I noticed the rune marking on his body changed to hundred.
" ... This......is how it feels like talking in human language" It was Cerberus who was talking.
" You can speak?" I asked .
" I was able to, after eating you" he seemed like he was thinking of something when he suddenly said " Now run"
" Huh!" My body reacted to the voice and I started running on the opposite side but again the Cerberus' power froze my legs. I looked behind and just saw a flash of shadow before it striked me , this time the Cerberus pierced its nail through my chest.
Arg! 'Why are you doing this to me? Is it wrong to finally have a dream of my own?' I wanted to ask these questions but no words came out of my mouth . All I wanted was to be there for Solis. Instead of being there with him,I was being sent to oblivion again and again, each time the pain increased.
The Cerberus chewed on my lower half like it was some sort of delicacy. I lost my consciousness once again.

Everything went black and I couldn't even feel my toes. 'Awww! Is this afterlife, I imagined an oasis kind of heaven with a whole bunch of girls with arabic dates and kind of holiday suite but this black hole was never expected', I groaned but like seriously I die in Elysian just when I find out that this world is Elysian, maybe i'm the unluckiest person alive ,ugh I mean dead.
'Ughhh!'After what felt like hours in this dark oblivion, I tried touching the left side of my chest because I could feel my heart thumping, but pain is all I feel there. This pain is nothing compared to the pain I ever felt before, oh wait I felt it after that one-eyed-wolf bit my legs.

Something's wrong about this place. I feel like I'm being watched but the pain is so much that I don't care about anyone staring at me.
'I don't want to stay here! I wanna help Solis and I wanna do so much more!', I wailed even though I know no one's listening.

'Bwahahahaha! What a cute and adorable child. How did you end up here huh? Someone hugged you till death or someone threw you away heh?'

What the f*ck was this!!! The moment I heard this voice, My body literally felt like it would crumble any moment now, and my heart started thumping harder like it would blast right now. This voice was so so sc..scary.

I could hear someone laughing , arg the force of the Sound of his laughter is also really creepy and heart wrenching. My heart started racing faster, is it because of the voice, just who it belonged to ?I tried to say something but why can't I move my tongue! I literally feel like I would shit my pants right now.

'I guess you don't belong here, you aren't allowed to stay here longer! It is my, LUCIFER'S wish that you don't get to enter this abyss ever again. You won't die anyways so you have no need to be here in the abyss. It would be painful little child but your body will break and repair itself again and again. Bwahahaha!'

Lucifer? My body froze just at the mention of his name. I don't know what's going on,the pain I was feeling up till now increased . Everything around me started spinning, every cell in my body felt like they were bursting , I've never felt anything like this before,I just want to die. All I know that it was LUCIFER 's doing .Why!why!why! Why is he doing this to me?!? And what did he mean by ' I won't die anyways?'

' Why..why are you doing this to me?!', I finally uttered some words out of my throat.

'Teehee', came the reply of the so-called great LUCIFER. 'Just for fun! Hehe!'

I felt being kicked out of this -whatever this black place was- and this is a feeling I felt while entering Elysian which I remember very well. F*ck this hurts.
I returned to my small body inside Cerebus' cave but only my heart and some of my ribs are here. Where the fuck are my body parts!! It feels like only my consciousness is here.
Ughhh this really hurts and I can't even utter a word. What the fuck is happening with me.
This pain is really killing me! But I can see my bones getting formed again. I can literally see my body getting formed again, huh am I Immortal or something?but this pain is , gosh I want to die!!

***********
How long has it been since my body started forming up? .
Cerberus didn't enter the cave since that day , atleast. I'm a bit hungry, no ,it feels like if I don't eat anything I might die, ok now the term ' I'll die' seems somewhat sarcastic but still I don't know the reason why I'm still not dead, maybe I'm immortal....haha there's no way that's true, right.
I have to get up, with my liquidy fleshy body,I tried to get up, ignoring all the pain that came along with it , reminding myself that it was all for Solis. I was practically using Solis' name as a chant at this point.
As I got up, I saw another broken branch just a few steps ahead, woah I'm so lucky aren't I. I have to get out of here, meet Alice so that she could heal me up, she must be worried sick by now.
So with all this in mind, I started heading out of the cave cautiously, ' that monster could pop out of nowhere any moment now.
After a few minutes of walking, I was finally out of this stenchful cave. I was standing near a cliff path with green and purple bushes covering both sides, the two sun were setting down , side by side . Elysian is a beautiful place , I remarked looking at this beautiful scene.

Grrrr.
Ehehe my stomach just growled, I need to find something too eat. As I was searching for something to eat, the day came to an end, but I couldn't handle the hunger anymore so I just plucked out leaves, bushes and whatever I could find. The taste isn't that bad .It was faint ,but I suddenly heard something moving along the trees. I almost forgot,I wasn't on Earth, but in Elysian, there are supposed to be monsters more terrifying than anything seen on Earth.

Just then a small figure revealed itself. And I knew exactly what it was known as- Boxer Monkey - these monkeys are small and mischievous , with blue coloured fur covering its whole body and a red boxing glove like palms , a single monkey isn't that much of a threat but there was a case in novel that mentioned a swarm of these boxing monkeys destroyed a whole a*s kingdom .
But something was different about this monkey, according to the novel, they are supposed to have two eyes, or in rare cases three eyes at max, but this one had four - two on each sides.
The monkey suddenly started jumping up and down,maybe it was happy that it found someone that could match its height. I was so wrong, it wasn't happy but instead excited that it could now bully someone. This damned monkey started throwing pinecone at me, I never knew those could hurt so bad. Seeing me struggling,the monkey got more excited and threw whatever it could find at me.
I ran away from it ,as far as I could but I could hear it following me, and like this, the sun or sun's came up once again. I was in no mood to relish the sunrise, I'm tired, hungry, injured and what not.
Injured!? I knew I was injured both from Cerberus and this darn monkey but most of my injuries were healed up, the pain from the injuries were still there but still,it feels like my body is getting back to how it was.
As I focused on my body,I noticed the golden and white particles around my injuries but another pinecone came at me at full speed.
' ugh, the heck.....' I muttered. This monkey won't let me live in peace. So I ran again and hid away from him. I also searched for anything I could eat at the same time.
As I went through the bushes , I came across a small lake.
" Hmmm, atleast the water will give me some energy for a while,plus I'm tired of eating grass . "
The lake water is a bit salty but for real, that was the most refreshing water I've ever had.
I turned around,and started heading in a random direction,' just where am I? 'I thought. Just as I took a turn around the corner ,I saw a red fruit hanging down the tree. My eyes couldn't believe it, I've finally found something to eat. I rushed towards the tree, unfortunately the tree is quite big but I can't give up my only source of food right now, so I threw stones but couldn't exactly hit the target.
In the end,it feels like I'll have to climb the tree itself.
I touched the pointed part of the tree to get a grip and pushed myself up. I lifted myself up but as I thought, climbing only looks easier but it isn't once you actually try to do it. I'm almost there,I stretched my right arm to get in touch with the branch but my hand slipped and I fell .
Ugh , my foot feels like it's cramped, no , right now all I need is this fruit, this red , beautifully polished fruit, not only because I'm hungry but also this fruit has some extra benefits.
I got up and climbed the tree again, this time more cautiously , and my hard work paid off, the fruit it's finally in my grasp .
Kikiki*
Huh, this sound, I looked behind, but before I knew it ,the damned monkey snatched my fruit and pushed me down the tree.
Kikikikiki. The monkey screamed and jumped up and down excitedly and ran away with the fruit after showing me its tongue.
Ugh, no , I sighed, this fruit, it's called 'Dragon fruit',it's not only rare but also super rich in mana , even in the novel, only three of this fruit was found, but I'm not the only one at a loss here.
If the fruit is not eaten in the right way, then it will make the person who eats it go berserk until it drains away all the mana. Im sure this monkey doesn't know the right away of eating it, friggin animal.

**********************************
The day came to an end once again, I took shelter near a big tree .
I've only eaten grass and leaves for a while, now my stomach is acting weird , I really need to eat something. Anything.
I looked around and saw some insects in the ground , I bit my lips, I don't have any other choice do I .
I took a hold of some insects, they looked like small centipedes , and lift it up , closed my eyes and nibbled it up ignoring the disgusting feeling that was swelling up inside me.
I covered my mouth as tears swelled up in my eyes, I felt like puking. I couldn't help but cry .
After a while I fell asleep, when a sudden sound woke me up.
Krrrrrrr*
" Heh, you're back" I said with a smirk on my face " You look more stupid than you did a few hours ago "
The boxing monkey's body was swollen and had lost all its senses; he had gone berserk. It's still a baby boxing monkey so its likely that it wouldn't last long but , in sacrifice for his senses , he's been blessed with strength, according to the novel after going berserk,a baby's punch would feel like a bullet so I better act cautiously now.

Kggrrrrrr* the monkey screamed while slamming its swollen arm on the ground a few times.
" What! Are you blaming me for it now? "I said sarcastically.
