The Echo of My Soul

From my childhood, I was living a mixed life. Was I blessed or was I cursed? I had a contrary view over my life. But I was never alone despite everyone around me abandoning me. Another voice was echoing through me, telling me to not be afraid. At one point, I almost succumbed into a life under the shadow, but someone eventually pulled me out of it and placed me under the spotlight. I thought I was freed forever, but the Echo told me that I was wrong. And it was all proven true on the day I discovered the true face of my beloved, who cheated on me without any shame. That day, I felt my world breaking apart. We were always together, I thought we would be together forever. Like some sort of beautiful fantasy. Silly, yet warm. Somewhere I could escape to. A home. It wasn't too much. But somehow, it all started that day. Or did it start before it? I don't remember. My memories are failing me. He told me I shouldn't stay. He told me I'll only get hurt no matter how I try to please him. He did not lie… Then, why did it hurt so much? Maybe because I truly loved him, seeing him with another had me broken to pieces. It wasn't fun, but… It wasn't the worst. That day, I finally decided. ‘Leave.’ It was as if a trigger had been pulled, and my life moved again in a hectic direction. I've met people I thought I won't be meeting again, and was stranded between so many fights of interests. I could only fight for myself there. This time, not only the Echo was with me. Another person was there, supporting me unconditionally. Giving me the confidence to move. Still, I will forever wonder… What choice is the right one? I guess I'll never know until I reach my destination.

I... (pt.3)

"Come on, Hero."

The taunt of the Overlord made Maximus enraged. The bodies of his party's members were now littering the ground, quite literally. 

Maximus had to force his gaze away from the mage, 'Useless!' he screamed in his head.

How could his party end up being so useless? They came here to overpower the Overlord, yet they only lived enough to attack him due to his pity?! 

His rage was not due to how his party members were no longer breathing but it was more about the disgrace he felt. 

Maximus, the hero who was hailed by all, had never been this humiliated in his whole life.

Thus, he threw his shame away and looked at the shelves the Overlord was offering to him. Despite stumbling upon standing up, the hero did not complain or throw a fit. 

Instead, he put all of his attention on the weapons and artifacts in front of him. Doubt and greed clouded his judgment as he looked at them.
