The Laughing Swordsman

Only when all the living perish, will there be peace ... Apollo was a bratty noble. Using the power of his father, he did many mischievous stunts. However, he would never go too far. The worst he did was steal someone's shoe, while on the average, it would be poking them in the back and running off. That's why he found it so absurd that someone would assassinate him, in his own room no less. He was stabbed in the back and left to die... But then he was back in his room, completely fine. Yet, he was stabbed in the back once again. Once he was stabbed in the back for the third time, the cruel reality began to sink in. That this would repeat itself for an eternity. The only thing in his room was his bed and his bokken, a wooden sword. At some point, Apollo picked up the bokken. He took his first steps to break out of the cycle. And swore to bury the person who called for this assassin with his own hands. ...But also calls a lot of things mommy for some reason.

Skeletal Dragon

Otis hesitated.

His father had told him many times before that it was fine to back off once he reached the third step. After all, the reward was not bad while the danger was immense.

He already got quite far, no?

Even if he backed off now, it wasn't like he didn't try.

Otis looked at the ceiling, then closed his eyes.

He mumbled something to himself.

"Coward..."

He laughed bitterly.

"Why... Why am I always so scared?"

A blanket of red energy wrapped itself around Otis, altering his body. His perception of the mana in the air changed.

Normally, mana felt like a hazy mist to him, but now it felt like droplets of clear water. So clear, that he would be able to see his reflection.

His magical affinities had increased.

However, Otis didn't realize this.

Instead, his mind had delved deep into a memory.

...

Otis was sitting on his bed.

He was in his room, lit up only by the moonlight coming in through the window.

His mother was patting his head with a forlorn smile.
