Chapter 5

"..."

The minister of Judger sits on his couch and taps the table impatiently.

He looks at his watch and clicks his tongue. "That bitch... Can she hurry up and absorb all those people? Everyone is getting anxious..." He mumbles.

He readjusts his fat figure on his couch and pinches his moustache. The atmosphere is very hot.

The tallest tower in the middle of Judger is the residence of VIPs and the leaders of Judger. At the top is a 5-floor space dedicated to the luxury of the head minister of Judger, Kent Lops.

Kent sighs as he snaps. A blonde maid enters the room and bows to him.

"Search for Lorraine and give her a signal. Tell her to stop playing around with those corpses and hurry up. The citizens are anxious about the "raid" result and the chance of my deal with Lorraine being exposed is increasing."

The maid bows in obedience and leaves the room.

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

"MMMMPPPHHHH!!!" Lorraine groans in pain. Her head is covered in a plastic bag with the end being tied with a rope around her neck.

I loosen the rope to let some oxygen in.

"UGH!!! *huff* *huff* "

"Now answer my question," I say as I tighten the rope again. "You have 20 seconds."

!!!!!!

Lorraine tries to struggle again. Looks like she is not broken enough.

I smirk.

I take out a dagger.

Once Lorraine sees the dagger, her eyes widen and she once again tries to struggle to get the rope around her hand loose.

I touch her right, long, and pointy ear.

"I'm growing impatient..." I mumble as tighten the rope around her neck more to secure the plastic bag. It starts to choke Lorraine.

!!!!!

"Mmmpphhh..."

Lorraine throws a glance at the piece of flash on the floor, her left ear I cut off.

I place the blade against her right ear.

"...Will....Tell..." Lorraine finally attempts to speak after gasping for air. Her face has gone into a shade of purple.

I loosen the rope and she takes several deep breaths while coughing.

Lot's of blood is still spraying out of what looks like her remaining left ear and Lorraine seems to be enduring it.

"Stop my bleeding and I will talk." She demands.

"This bitch." I take my dagger and immediately grab her arm.

"!! You can't kill me! If you do, you will never know where Carlo is- AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

She screams in pain as I slice a vital vein at her wrist.

"The blood!! It hurts!! Stop!! Please, help me!! I'm begging you!!"

I let go of Lorraine and throw her to the ground.

She groans in pain as she grasps her "fountain of blood" spewing out of her hand.

...

...

"P-Please...I will tell you everything..."

Lorraine struggles to move. The puddle of blood has engulfed her entire robe. I squat down and look at her in the eyes before smiling.

"What did you do when Carlo sacrificed me to that monster? What did you do when I was on the brink of death?" I say with a smile.

Lorraine widens her eye in despair and my smile becomes a smirk.

...

"I..."

She slowly loses strength. To shout. To struggle. The pain she felt cannot even be expressed, for her body had no strength left.

A few minutes passed and her breath stopped.

...

!!!!!

There's someone nearby?!

I quickly conceal my presence.

From a hole at the upper layer of the cavern, a maid appears and jumps. She lands perfectly from that height without a scratch. Probably an expert assassin.

Looking around, she gasps in shock when she discovered Lorraine's body. I immediately move in to seize her.

!!!!!!

Unable to react to my speed, I punch her in the stomach and grab her shoulder to prevent her from launching due to the impact. She coughs out a little blood before fainting from the shock.

"*huff* *huff* This woman..." I mumble.

Blonde, shoulder-length hair and amber eyes with a sexy curve body figure. This maid is probably serving a noble or someone of importance with this beautiful look.

Then...for the only noble to be cautious and curious enough to send a maid to check on Lorraine. The main ruler of Judger, does he have anything to do with this?

Heh...

...

I look at Lorraine's corpse. 

Keldon practices some dark magic like necromancy and tried to revive his lost love ones. He perfected the art but it was not what he expected.

The results will be successful, you can revive someone as long as their corpses are still almost intact.

But they will become mindless zombies, waiting for a command. And they feel nothing, no fear, no despair, nothing.

...

I extend my hand out towards Lorraine's corpse. Dark flames engulf my entire hand before shooting towards Lorraine and consuming her.

Soon, the flames dispersed and Lorraine stands up.

!!!

I slowly approach Lorraine.

"She" stares at me and just stood there.

Wait this is...

I start to feel something, for a moment I could see myself.

"Awaiting orders," I mumble out. That's what "Lorraine" is thinking.

Not only am I able to know the thoughts of this zombie, but I can also share consciousness with it.

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

Memory.

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

Would you like to inherit the memory?

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

Yes.

...

!!!!!!

I quickly leaned against the rocky wall behind me for support. A piercing sharp sound starts to ring in my head. My vision becomes blurry slightly.

...

*huff* *huff*

Let's see...

Her memory from a year ago is a bit blurry. To think she has short term memory. But special events can be recalled very clearly.

Firstly, Carlos is a popular playboy. He messes around with whatever woman he finds attractive. Thus, travelling around the world to add more girls to his harem.

Wait...

Why is my sister?..

No no...

I scratch my head in distress and try to dive into Lorraine's memory more clearly.

About 2 weeks after my "death", Carlos went straight for my mourning sister, trying to console her. My sister immediately notice his aggressive approach and knew he was trying to hit on her and rejected Carlos, telling him to fuck off.

And Carlos being a bastard, whenever a woman rejected him, he constantly pesters and goes after that woman, going from being kind to being aggressive.

And then...

AND THEN WHAT?!

WHAT DID HE DO TO MY SISTER!

Fuck fuck...

I glare at Lorraine, she stares back at me. Her memory is too blurry I need to focus more to dig deeper.

But I don't have time. I first need to find my sister.

Leaving the unconscious maid behind, I quickly rush out of the cave.

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

"Look! Someone wearing a mask is coming out!!" Shouts a civilian waiting near the cave entrance.

"Oh! Hey! How's the raid-"

I jump over the crowd gathering at the entrance.

?!

"H-He is running away?!"

Short after me, Lorraine jumps over the crowd as well and follows me.

"High sage?! Where are you going?!" Shouts her butler but to no avail.

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

My home is at the north of Judger, on a mountain at the outskirts of Timeas.

It is also the best place I could ever be at.

The front of my cottage faces the sea beside Judger, a truly beautiful sight to behold. With the calm and swift breeze, my sister would always be waiting for me back at home with a smile. We've lost our parents when we were very young and have always depended on each other...

Running across the greenery and climbing the rocky mountain, even if I manage to scrape myself and bleed, I still kept moving...

Almost there...please be safe.

Please be safe.

please be safe.

I turn a sharp corner at the edge of the mountain and stopped in my tracks.

...

...

My eyes widen in shock.

My home...

What used to be my home is now a ruin of charcoal.

This is...signs of burning?

My home was set on fire? By who? And it is not recent too.

Plants are already starting to grow in the ruin.

*thud* *thud*

!

I quickly turn around to see who it was. It's Lorraine...she followed me here?

...

I look at her wrist and twisted leg.

I healed Lorraine and sat down.

"Keep guard, do not let anyone come near me," I say.

"Understood."

I need to know the secret, I need to know what happened.

I calm myself and close my eyes, diving back into that jumble of memory.

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

...

"Carlos, why are you even going after that bitch?" Says Lorraine.

"Why? Because she is hot. Ken was always a hassle and now that the meat shield is gone, I can finally advance." Says Carlos.

Lorraine clicks her tongue in jealousy.

"But she has always been looking at you as if you are trash, constantly rejecting you, there's no point advancing-"

"I know... So I'm done being kind."

"Huh?"

Carlos places a finger on his lips and points at the cottage. My sister is sitting on a chair, staring out at the sea.

"That bitch has gone insane! Ever since that shit head's death, she has been staring at the sea and only moving to eat, sleep and drink!"

"It's okay. Anyways, Lorraine, do me a favour okay? You have that fire scroll with you, right? Burn that house down."

"Eh? Burn? Uh...okay."

Lorraine takes out the fire scroll and starts to chant. The fire scrolls disappear into thin air and suddenly, a bolt of fire thrusts towards the house.

*BOOOM!!*

!!!

"W-What?" Mumbles my sister.

She gets off the chair and checks the cottage. Only to her horror, there is a hole in the wall and the insides of her house are on fire.

"No no no."

She tries to run towards the well and pumps for water but nothing comes out.

"What...no...please...no... Ken... The doll that Ken gave me is still inside-"

Carlos finally shows up and smirks at my sister.

"This is what happens when you reject the hero."

"H-Hero? How are you a hero!? You are a fucking monster! Why are you doing this?!"

"Simply because you reject me..." Says Carlos with a sigh.

"You see... I've been very kind. But you threw away that kindness and step on it... Tch tch tch... So I have no choice but to be a bit assertive."

"A bit? You call this a bit- ARGH!"

Lorraine attacked my sister from behind and held her down.

Carlos walks towards my sister and smirks even wider, with saliva drooling out of his mouth.

He held up my sister's face and lick her.

"Hehe...tender and smooth skin. I will thoroughly enjoy you." Says Carlos. "For your information, that stupid brother of yours is killed by me."

!!!!!

...

My sister stares at Carlos in disbelief.

"No...you...you..."

Carlos knocked my sister out cold and carried her on his back.

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

....

Carlos...

Carlos...

"CARLOS!!! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs as the earth around me trembles and break apart, like an earthquake.

?!

Lorraine quickly appears and checks up on me.

...

I look at Lorraine...

!!!!

*BOOM!*

Lorraine was sent flying towards the mountain walls, crashing into the rocks.

I walk towards Lorraine and heal her.

"You bitch." I say

Lorraine did not reply but stared back at me.

I sigh.

I am taking out my anger on a dead zombie. Especially when she is under my control.

No... I shouldn't take my anger out on her.

I SHOULD SAVE IT FOR WHEN I MEET CARLOS.
