Galactic loophole(2)

"Come on,you filths!Don't keep me waiting"

With every kill his madness deepened.

He crouched besides a fallen creature and spoke to it as if it were an old friend.

"You thought,you could escape from me?"

"Hahahahhahahahahaaaahaaaa"

.

Aziel laughed like a maniac,the sound was relentless,a wild,frenzied symphony of madness that seemed to distort the very sir around him.

It was a laugh that hinted his mind teetering at the edge of sanity.

His eyes darted around,landscape around him was a chaotic blue of shredded bodies and stains,the air thick with stench of death.

Hind mind was consumed by a single,obsessive desire : to continue the carnage,driven by a frenzied addiction to the bloodshed that has become his sole source of pleasure and satisfaction.

"W-Where are they?"

His eyes widened in dissatisfaction as he searched for them-but no,he wasn't able to find any.

Just black empty night,moon casting an ethereal glow over him.

it was hauntingly silent.

.

The dark sky was dotted with distant stars, offering little light to the desolate landscape.

His clothes were torn and bloodied, and a dark, spreading pool of blood formed around him, blending with the shadows.

"I want blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood.blood~"

.

Aziel fell on his knees,scratching and ruffling his head,craving for bloodshed.

"Blood.blood.blood~"

Snap

Aziel jolted awake,his heart pounding as if it were trying to escape his chest.

He sat up in the bed,gasping for breath.

The shadows in his room seemed to look larger,twisting and distorting in the darkness.

"Mom?Dad?" He whispered,his voice trembling.

He reached out for the light switch but couldn't switch it on as his hands shaked uncontrollably.

The room was silent,the only sound was his erratic breathing.

Aziel glanced around,his eyes widened,his mind replaying fragments of the nightmare he just saw.

'O-oh right...I am not Julius anymore'

A quick sense of guilt and regret washed over him.

"After all...It was just a nightmare"

"But even for a nightmare it seemed rathe-"

As he tried to convince himself,that what has just transpired was just his mind playing tricks on him,a blue screen flickered into existence,casting on ethereal glow over the room.

Aziel wasn't in the mood of creating a skill right away nor was his mind willing to think,so he saved the slot for later and tried to find something.

Bur to his surprise it wasn't there.

'Where is the Galactic shop?"

Instead as usual,system shop approved in place of it.

'Strange...?'

"System... Dematerialize"

He closed the system screen as he wasn't in the mood to hink much and saved the mystery for the upcoming morning.

He wasn't in the mood to sleep anymore either.

Quickly retrieving his phone from the pocket,he took a quick glance at the time displayed on the screen.

2 : 37 A.M

.

As he was about to switch off the phone,he saw a notification.

Tapping on the notifiationzhe read the message.

.

Zephyr ~

12 : 08 A.M : Aziel,it is raining heavily outside,so I might not be able to return home and sleep in the living rooms. ✓✓

.

12 : 08 A.M : Oh! And don't worry Oliver and the others are also with me.Take care "_".✓✓

.

"Hmph...As if i care about you or them"

He threw off his phone on the couch,sleepiness still visible in his eyes.

He got up from the bed,exiting the dimly lit room,he headed towards the bathroom.

SPLASH.SPLASH.SPLASH.

.

He tried to energize himself,splashing water on his face removing any trace of drowsiness.

After that he approached the wardrobe.

Aziel quickly undressed his uniform and took out a new set of clothes.

It was just a casual wear,plain-black T-shirt and white sweatpants with a casually draped hoodie.

The lone occupant moved quietly towards the balcony in the deep silence of his house.

As he stood by the window,the cold night air greeted him.

His face illuminated by the faint,cool light of the moon filtering through the glass.

His eyes,wide and reflective,scanned the outside world which was surprisingly quiet,only faint sounds of people partying and music were audible.

The silence felt almost tangible,a gentle soothing presence in the darkness.

It was the only thing that could comfort him in this strange world.

"Sob...Sob...Sob"

Tears cascaded down his cheeks,without him even realising.

He raised his hand in front of his face and tried to grasp the moon,which hung high in the sky with his hands as he said.

"Why does it have to be so hard?"

"Would I really be able to survive here...?"

"Who knows...?"

Aziel muttered,his eyes fixed on the unfamiliar sky above which felt almost surreal.

"I just want to seen them again,one last time.I miss them so much"

"I thoughts things would be different here but all I feel is emptiness"

"It's like I am searching for a place that fell like home.I wish I could hear their voices again,see their faces"

"It's only been a day and feel like a lifetime ago,now that I know I am never meeting them soon"

"But i promise,I'll find a way to return,no matter how long it takes or how difficult,I won't give up.Just wait there for me...Mom...Dad...Sister"

He said with sorrow yet his gaze filled with determination.

He wiped off his tears and sat on the floor,supporting his back by the wall.

He sat there for what felt like hours,lost in thoughts.

As the minute passed,his eyes grew heavier,the distant horizon blurred into a soft haze.

Gradually,his head dropped,his body surrendering to the exhaustion.

Eventually sleep overtook him,and he rested there slumped against the cold floor.

This time,that nightmare or good to say system's feature didn't activated and he slept peacefully in solace.
