Prologue - Pool Of Blood
White turned to black. Warm turned to cold. Smiles turned to lines. Tears turned to blood.
I watched. Confused, alone, scared, lost...
Then, something grabbed my hand. I looked down and saw my own arm being torn away. I cried in pain but it was cut off short as something grabbed my other hand.
Then, my legs, my eyes, my skin, my very bones, even my heart...
I drowned in blood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Stop..."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Stop..."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Stop it...!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"STOP IT!!!!!!!"
I screamed and opened my eyes. My ragged breath caught up with me and I started coughing.
With sweat covering nearly my entire body, I panted and looked around. The familiar room gradually calmed me down and I sighed as I pushed my fingers through my hair.
The face reflected by the mirror in the corner of the room was back to normal. The face that I got used to see. No emotion, no nothing.
I glanced at the hour on the clock and slowly got out of bed. I quickly changed my clothes and I grabbed the bag on the floor before leaving the room. As I was heading to the front door, I placed a cigarette in my mouth and lit it. I placed my hand on the door handle and looked at a picture resting on the small table to my right.
"I'm out... old man," I muttered, more to myself than anyone else. I opened the door and left.
Hello, people, for those that already know me from Life Hunter, I'm finally back.
.
Normally, I should have released this last year but, you know, you can go very deep into procrastination.
.
Few things that might be relevant:
- For the update schedule, check the front page of the novel.
- This time around, I put a bit more effort into my P.atreon (don't mind the dot after the p. It's apparently an evil word and WN censors it) So feel free to check it out... please?
- Yes, this novel is a harem. I think. Probably. I actually am not sure. We'll see if I get attached to too many female characters. So, please don't spam me that question.
- Last thing; as you all know, Inkstone doesn't offer the option to change the text format. Thing is, I use it quite a lot on my side to 'design' the system prompts that will come in the novel. So, yeah, just wanted to say that it won't be as pleasing visually as I want it to be, sorry about that.
