Loot
"Why do I somehow feel empty?"
This question was hard to answer, especially with his goals that would involve numerous people's lives. He looked down with a grim expression.
Despite having steeling his resolve, it was so much different when he needed to face it. And this was only a monster or a former human.
He thought he would be fine with it, considering he had killed a few people before and all of them were his enemies. Both wanted to kill him, but the lich simply followed its natural instinct as a monster.
It reminded him of a certain matter.
There might be a time where he needed to kill the innocent who he never met. At that time, could he do it? What if the person before him was a good guy that had helped thousands of people? Could he still kill him?
Many questions flashed in his mind, but more importantly, there was a slight change in his heart. Whether this change would be good or bad for Theo, he knew he still needed to step forward.
