"Miki let's go!"

I already forgot how many days I have been here, but right now it doesn't matter, it has been 2 days since I beat the eye of chutulu, and right after that night me, and Miki have enjoyed the lantern nights.

it was beautiful and mesmerizing, I don't usually go out of the house because I hate the overcrowded area with strangers.

the last two days are used to practice with slimes, specifically with Miki she has been really good not only she's tanky but also deals quite good damage the only downside is she can only float and jump.

that's why I teach her how to dash and jump continuously, she also loves to eat or rather digest sweet foods like day bloom.

I also have upgraded my base, adding an open garden to farm herbs, health potion might not be that helpful but I accidentally feed miki one and she seems more energetic after that.

right now I have prepared myself to face the brain of chutulu, I already covered the whole cave with light and clears a big area to fight.

right now there's is total of 10 crimson heaths, destroying 3 will summon the boss I still don't have the resources to mine the corrupted stone so I blew them with bombs.

the red hearths that are floating are still beating and whenever it beats it gives me a headache.

but this time I have already beaten the eye and slime so it doesn't hurt like the first time I found these.

as I go near one of the orbs I smashed it with an iron hammer, it breaks like glass and I heard ominous screams that echo through the whole cave system.

it dropped an undertaker, a revolver that fires a single shot along with it is the Musketeer bullet a universal bullet for all guns, it's not a bad gun but the design is cool, I head to the 2nd crimson hearth and did the same thing, this time it dropped a panic necklaces.

it will increase my movement speed by 50% after I got hit for 8 seconds I equipped it, I'm also wearing a band or generations both red and blue for mana and health as I recently raided living trees.

that reminds me, I should have built the greenhouse with a living wood wand, I could use a stone slab as a material and it will look like wood when placed.

anyway back to the topic, I head to the third crimson hearth, and then I drank all the buff's iron skin potion, swiftness potion regeneration potions danger sense, etc.

I manage to grab a few moons that glow in the jungle and a cactus and replant them to grow more.

as I broke the third crimson heart another scream echoed but this one is considerably louder than the last one, with a few quick jumps and hooks I manage to land in the arena I already prepared.

the arena I prepared is as big as a four basketball court enough space because not long after that a giant brain appears, its size already covering half of a basketball court so I thank myself for that.

it also has long tentacles where the spine should have been as I look at it more it didn't waste more time by summoning hundreds of eyes.

I then also summoned my army of slimes while being led by Miki, the eyes encircled us with their speed it one-shot my normal green slimes.

but the best part of this boss battle is if you have a water bolt you already win, I held the book and started firing at random directions the projectiles pierce easily through the crowd of eyes and when they hit the wall, they will bounce again.

it was a quick and easy method, and after that, I cleaned all the mobs the brain suddenly split apart revealing what was inside, a heath.

it began to teleport around, it started to hurt my head as it keep getting faster and faster everything turned white.

"×××××, it's because of you! I will fucking kill you!!"

I was greeted by my uncle, he was always angry at me both of my uncles hates me for some reasons like I will be the cause of destruction to their family, by family I mean their family with my mom and grandma, and grandpa.

I don't remember any reason for them to hate me, I even avoid them because I hate them, why? just like my grandfather when they got drunk they tend to be aggressive even hurting their wife, and family.

I developed this trauma that I will never be like them and never be around that kind of people, but one day one of my uncles drop by at my grandma's house where I was living with my mom and sister.

he was drunk, which made my mood worse, he was also loud and noisy he confronted me, and because I was already 20 at that time I also fight back.

I remember my mom didn't even protect me, he punched me, my heart was beating crazy I was ready to fight him, so when he punched me I also retaliate.

my cousin who drives for him breaks our fight but instead of my uncle being told to move out, my mom told me to move out.

at that time there was a certain thing that broke, but with a respect to my grandma, I do what they wish for.

I even unconsciously grabbed a knife, I take shelter from my neighbor at that time, then where got a call from my dad, and finally feel safe that's when I started to feel my stress.

I cried, but I choose to bear with it and made a promise to my heath, after that I moved with my dad.

"Stop it"

no, it's not because I'm scared.

"STOP THE FUCK OUT"

you dare to use my past against me huh...

I trash around, all of this is an illusion!

"pyuu!!"

"m miki?"

that's right, I promise myself on that day I will get my revenge someday.

but this day, I don't need to do that it's not like I forgive them or anything it's just that I have the new world around me and I right now, I can't lose miki.

*glass breaks

the illusion disappeared and I found miki hugging me with its tendrils.

"sorry miki, did I worry you?"

"Pyun, pyuuun~"

"hahaha"

I could not even understand miki right now but it makes my heart complete again.
