The Truth

Waking up to complete darkness, cain's eyes darted around the Room. 

He noticed something moving in the room, to which he leapt into the air to distance himself.

 Running towards a wall, cain touched a light switch and illuminated the room.

 Noticing what was in the room, he started laughing hysterically" it was a rat that scared him. 

Walking towards it, he stretched his hand outwards and grabbed it.

He held it by the neck and tore it off.Staring at him was a huge profanity fragment.

He quickly absorbed it and felt something was wrong. 

Falling to the ground, Cain clutched his chest and began breathing heavily. 

As someone appeared in the room, everything came to a stop.

The figure exuded a presence of chilling and utter dread.

Getting a peek at the figure's face, Cain began to sweat and shiver profusely.

The figure's face was covered with a hood, yet Cain seemed to know consciously that it was not meant to be seen by humans.

Steadily crawling away from the being, Cain began formulating scenarios as to how the being was here. 

The answer then clicked in his head, and anger started to surface.

'You're one of them' said Cain as he began to precariously grind his teeth. 

The figure slowly moved towards him and in humanely said "you've become an afflicted of the Rune".

Everything once again became calm, and Cain passed out. 

Waking up to the same boring ceiling, Cain rubbed his eyes to adjust to his surroundings. 

Whilst rubbing his eyes, he noticed a tab floating in front of him. 

"You have become an afflicted". 

"Core skill" 

Revergence 

Description - consume everything??? 

"Side skill" 

'Diavolum' 

Description - able to create weapons 

Internally Cain was in a state of chaos.

With him being chosen by the runes, it means his movements would be limited.

He also was uneasy with the fact, he had abilities even before he was chosen. 

Another mystery added to the list, huh? 

Time to formulate a plan in escaping this place.

3 days later 

Cain was now getting a hang of his abilities. 

Cain liked 'Diavolum' as it was like using another limb. 

He also noticed that he can make multiple different weapons. 

Although there was those that left him rather tired. 

So he decided to stick to the sword and the bow. 

Walking towards the wall he picked up his coat and left the hut. 

Running through the city, Cain was deep in thought.

 '3 days previously'

Going through the rune complex, it showed him a view of the current world.

Cain had a grim expression, as the world had changed considerably. 

Other worlds had merged into his, and had multiple death regions located throughout it. 

One of them was the city he was presently in. 

Jumping on top of a building, Cain observed the streets of the city. 

Multiple creatures walked through the streets, looking for prey. 

He noticed there was a very inhumane presence in a cathedral a few yards away. 

Quickly jumping onto a next house, he began moving again. 

The creatures took notice of him and began chasing. 

Realizing they were gaining on him, Cain summoned the bow and nocked an arrow. 

The arrow whilsted throughout the air as it hit a centurion.

The beast wailed furiously and began picking up speed.

Cain fired multiple arrows in the air, as they all rained down onto the creatures. 

'That should give me some time'.

Arriving on the rooftop of the cathedral, Cain looked for a entrance into it. 

His plan was to use the gateway inside, to reach as close as possible to the city.

Hanging from the side, there was a closed window.

It's not a though there's anyone here, as he broke the window and jumped inside.

Something immediately shot at him as he entered inside.

As the lights came on, what he saw horrified him. 

'Shit'.
