Darkness

How many days has it been?

How many hours passed?

I don't know, i don't know why I chose this path.

Did I choose wrong?

Did I foolishly choose to suffer this kind of hardship?

Am i idiotic enough to chase my own death?

...… I want to take a rest….

"Hey boy, get up, we are not done yet!"

Slowly Lou's eyes slowly open, he weakly look at Eva who look displeased while grabbing his neck

"You're too weak, you only get beaten for almost a couple of months and you are already worn out? Are you sure you come here just for my Legacy or you just come here to die?"

Lou, who inside of the testing area forgot the time, day or even the sole purpose of all of this, the only thing inside of his mind right now is an eternal piece.

His body is already numb from pain and hardship, his body is already giving up on moving, his organ is already in critical condition, while the only thing left from him is his numb mind.

"Why did you come here? Why did you choose Darkness? I can only say that only fools will accept this kind of test, and this is not even a test but a punishment for those foolish enough to want my Legacy."

"I don't know what kind of fool to accept darkness," Eva grabbed at him showing her vampire fang and asked.

"Boya, do you know what darkness is?"

"..." Lou only looks at him with dead fish eyes.

"The shadow opposite the light."

"The night opposite the day."

"Right and wrong,"

"Good and evil."

"Order and chaos."

"Reason and irrational."

"But from what I see, you come just for a little added strength."

"At the beginning of the time Darkness is everything, there's only darkness everywhere, you can choose to give up darkness but you will lose everything, in chaos, Darkness is always the supreme, so boy, what is darkness for you?"

"So boy? Tell me your answer or I will completely destroy you."

"But still, i'm pretty surprise that your mind did not break,"

"To sleep, run away or even death is not allowed in this 'Phantasmagoria'. You endured that much beating is a miracle. You have great determination but sadly.... Determination is not everything in this world."

"As I can see, your soul is approaching its limit just like how your body is already broken, so the question is, how much time can you endure all of this?"

She is right, Lou is already reaching his limit, for someone who only has a normal soul it's already a miracle for him to survive that kind of beating.

If not from the hardship he experiences from this couple of months, maybe just an hour of beating will make his soul collapse.

But everything always has an end, as for Lou, hisend is getting near, Eva doesn't have any shred of pity on him at all, she will kill him anytime she wants.

Eva starts to condense an icicle sword on her hand and mercilessly pierce Lou's chest, Lou only looks at her with numb eyes, slowly raising his hand trying to reach his chest.

Looking at the bright red liquid wetting his palm, Lou feels relief, as if a great burden suddenly lifted from his shoulder.

'Is this the end?..... So death is really not that painful..... I'm glad…'

'Don't give up!'

'Stand up!!.'

'Don't give up!'

'Stand up!.'

'Stand up for me boya!'

'Whos that?..... Let me rest.... I want to rest…..'

3 hours after You open the scroll he died peacefully, the only person to see it is Eva on her astral form, she sees everything, his hardship and pain he experiences, adn te relift on his face knowing that he is dying.

But for some reason, Eva felt pain inside of her chest, she didn't feel happy or excited that she usually feels from death.

She felt something lost, something that was impossible to replace or take back, she did something more important that even she didn't even realize.

She only dazedly looks at Lou trying to touch him for the last time but she can't, she is in her astral form, touching or speaking to anyone is impossible, the only thing she can do is look at him while letting a tear start to drop on Lou's face.

........

Beep ... Beep.... Beep... Host life reached 0

Beep ... Beep.... Beep... 'Host' has died.

System,'... So he died like that...… What a letdown...…

Beep ... Beep.... Beep... 'Host' Special Skill: Darkness activated.

........

Slowly Dark Matter starts to come out from Lou's body pores, shrouding his whole body until he becomes a dark looking creature.

Eva devilish grin sensing the incredible dangerous vibe coming from Lou right now, she even felt tingling inside from excitement seeing his form.

"That's right! That's it!! Show me!! Show me your Darkness!!"

She suddenly stops laughing when Lou's hand grabs her head, with incredible strength, Lou smashes her into the ground and stamps her head using full strength.

Bang!!

Lou cluelessly looks at his feet, while Eva who is safe and sound stabs Lou again multiple times, but it's useless, Lou's wound heals just matter in seconds.

"Good!! Finally!! I finally found you!! Come Boya, let's savor this kind of Darkness!!!"
