Did that all really just happen? I can't think straight. That…poison is still flowing throughout my body. I…need to get back…to them. They're in trouble… I need…
No matter how far I reached, I couldn't grab at anything. There was nothing for me to reach for in the first place. Nothing…but a void. And endless void. No one is here. Nothing is here. It's just me… I'm…all there is in this place.
It took me a very long time for me to realize where I'm at. I don't remember how long I've been drifting for, but I've started to see millions of stars in the "sky." This isn't a sky. It's space. I'm not even on a world anymore. Not even a system. Maybe I wasn't even in a galaxy in that darkness.
How long has it been since I was drifting there? I don't even remember. It's kind've hard to keep track of time out here. Years could've past without me even knowing. I guess that's what happens whenever time isn't relevant.
Strange… I feel like I'm being pulled in. What did they call it again? A gravitational field or something? It's a faint tug, but I can feel it. I wonder where I'm gonna end up. It'll probably be a long time before I get there…
Remember when I used to be a normal Japanese college student? Yeah, me neither. So much has happened, I can't even remember most of what I did back on Earth.
Wait, who am I even talking to? I must be insane. Or maybe I'm just that desperate for someone to talk to.
…
…
Xylvia…Leonna…Shana…Dusk…Ray…Mom…Dad…Kagashi…Aria…Jaden…Sora…Norman…Kay…Wrath…
Please forget that I even exist anymore. I'm starting to doubt that I'll even come back. You might as well make it easier on yourselves. I can't bear to see you guys crying. Not again…
I wish things never turned out like this…
Was I being selfish? Is that why this is happening to me? All because I wanted a little adventure?
No, I almost forgot. I've been dealt a bad hand for centuries. Since the beginning of time. All because I made one mistake that started a rampage.
How was I supposed to know? I'm not Adam… I'm me. Hiro Satomi. A bored, short-tempered Japanese college student who just, from some chance, happened to get sent to another world. That's who I am, right?
…
…
That's…who I am…right?
This power must be what's keeping me alive. This faint power inside of me that I've been feeling lately. Adam's power (that's what I've started to call it). It must've also been what kept me from dying to that Screechers poison.
…
Unfortunately, it doesn't numb the pain.
…
It feels like it getting worse.
…
Hungry…thirsty…
…
Guess the tears have stopped flowing…
If I had the chance to kill those two, I wonder how I would do it…
I shouldn't think about killing… Xylvia…would cry… I can't…I won't… Don't worry Xylvia, I haven't stopped that low yet…
But…those two deserve it. They have to pay for what they did… I have…to make them pay.
They will pay… They will cry… They will suffer… They will die…
They will pay… They will cry… They will suffer… They will die…
They will pay… They will cry… They will suffer… They will die…
They will pay… They will cry… They will suffer… They will die…
They will pay… They will cry… They will suffer… They will die…
I feel so numb… I used to feel frozen, but not anymore… This poison is still killing me, but not completely… Every limb on my body is completely shriveled, as if there was no blood or flesh in my body… Nothing but bones…
I don't know how much longer I can go… This power is what's keeping me alive, but I wish it would just leave already…
…
…
I wish Adam was speaking to me… Even if it's inside my head, at least I wouldn't be alone…
Memories flashed inside my brain like a slideshow at school, but they weren't mine… It was that place I saw in my nightmare… First paradise, then dystopia… A booming voice cursing me…
Yeah, I get it… I upset you… Get over it already you big baby…
The mark on my face was the only thing I could feel, and it was sore… Pulsating… Breathing… It was a part of me that I wish was dead… I never wanted to be a part of this… I never asked to be this ancient figure that screwed up many years ago…
I just wanted to go on an adventure… What's so bad about that…?
Woah…I'm getting pulled… I've been asleep for what felt like two minutes, and now I'm…falling…?
I couldn't see anything but white flakes that violently blew in every direction. I free fell for what felt like hours through a snow storm until I eventually smashed through a rocky structure and into the snow.
My body was still numb, so I couldn't feel the cold. The little blood I had left in my body started oozing out of the cuts all over me. The dark red blended into the snow. It looked like a disgusting snow cone.
*CRUNCH* *CRUNCH*
I heard footsteps approaching.
"Hey, check that out," a man's voice said. "Is…that a kid?"
"What's he doing out in this weather," asked another man. "He's not dressed for this storm."
"He's still breathing," said the last one. "How in the hell is he even alive?"
"I don't know, but his entire body is nothing but bones. I don't think he'll…on second thought. He does have a nice face."
…
"Yeah, you're right. A little food and exercise into his system, he'll be the talk of the kingdom!"
"I doubt they'll even mind if he's used or not. We can borrow him for about a month, then we'll sell him off to a 'Collector'."
"Yeah, I haven't done anything since one of those little Wolfpack towns a year ago. Man, burning them was fun in all, but the sex was even better!"
…I'm so hungry…I'm so thirsty…I'm so angry…I just want to die…
But I can't die… I'll never die… I'll always be at the mercy of everyone… I'll just let them do whatever they want to me… At least…I'll feel something…
Even if it's painful or uncomfortable, I'm fine with that… Just let me feel something again…
…
…
"Looks like we're going on a little adventure kid." One of the men said.
An adventure…? Yeah…I'd like that… Anything's better than this…
"As long as you do exactly as we say, we won't kill you."
…
…
Why is everyone doing this to me…?
…I can't. No… I promised Xylvia…but…
This hunger…I can't take it…I CAN'T FUCKING TAKE IT!
It hurts…it hurts too much… I…need…something…
"Woah…will you really kill him," Another man asked. "We can at least break him a little more, right?"
"Of course. But I doubt there's anything left to break. He looks dead already."
I'm…so…tired… I'm tired of this world beating me down over and over again for being something I'm not… I'm not Adam, but if I can't be Hiro Satomi…
…then I guess I'll just be a monster then…
*CRUNCH!* *SHLURP!*
The spray of blood woke something up inside me. A new spark of power. Some disturbing creature taking me over, laughing hysterically as it feasted on the flesh from the neck of its victim.
The man who got bitten died instantly.
A felt a whole new side wake up. I…wasn't the same. I didn't feel the same. In fact, I still felt nothing… But that's fine. I can let this new side take over for a while. I just was to sleep.
The monster within me continued to feast on them. It grabbed them by their napes and tore off the meaty chunks of flesh from the front of all their neck. It then punched through their stomachs and feasted from their.
I felt my hunger gradually going away. The taste was horrid, but this monster didn't care. It was hungry, and it wasn't stopping.
I don't want it to stop. I'm…done trying… I can't do it anymore… I just can't…
I'm sorry Xylvia… I'm…so sorry…
Before I let this monster control me completely, I cried my last few tears. They were the most painful tears I've ever cried in my life…
And then…
"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
I screamed as loud as I possibly could, hoping that this entire universe knew how much I hated it.
Goodbye everyone… Hiro Satomi…is gone…
