Chereads / An NPC Challenges the Dark Lord(LN) / Chapter 18 - Current State

Chapter 18 - Current State

It's been one sunset after being teleported here...

I don't like the sunset here. The surroundings are bright red before sunset.

The whole "sky" turns wine red. I don't even know if it's a real sky. Real skies are blue right with white clouds?

I'm beginning to accept a red sky with limbs floating.

So far I think I've stayed the same. Many of my fellow warriors have fallen...very badly.

I've been attacked by demons a lot but I've escaped most of the prisons I've been through. In one sunset?

I remember now. One Sunset here is pretty long but it's my only reliable way of measuring time when I used to look outside the dojo door.

Now I have to look at dead and dismembered bodies around me. Sometimes I see red castles too. It looks like brick but somehow I've been thinking...it could be demon flesh?

I've only stayed quite safe by looking for small spaces to crawl into. I think I'm about to die of hunger and thirst.

I wonder if I'll respawn back in the comfortable dojo if I die that way. Mag said I might respawn...I will respawn? I could respawn. I don't know anymore what Mag exactly said.

I thought I was safe in the world of demons because of my skill...

Now I understand I won't die but my skill of preventing death makes the demons happy.

I've met many Demon Generals now. They are not as nice as Lord Gen.

I've been cut in half but since a demon did it...I end up fine. No I'm not fine!

Ending up alive while witnessing the others' death makes me vomit.

I just spat blood for the 17th time out of disgust for the combined grotesque appearance of the demons and pool of death after the torture.

Is the old man evil? Why did he put us through this...

I feel like he knew the demons would toy with us...

The warriors who stood up to them inspired me to come out of small spaces and helped them fight.

They end up dead anyway after a few glory moments.

Just when you think they're strong, they lose their limbs.

Just when you think they have the resolve, they lose their minds. Some stop screaming and smile. Others lost their voice screaming.

I remember seeing a warrior continuing their agonizing laugh even after the head was gone. We were tortured together. Maybe it's one of those illusion things in the history book.

Some wars were won by showing false things.

When I was in the dojo...men and boys did not scream like this. Now I'm used to hearing noble men and strong men scream for...I think half a sunset.

Well that was the longest I've endured. Half a sunset. It was mostly common things the demons do. Repeatedly piercing us with spears, sometimes a battering ram would splat everyone.

I learned the word splat from another traveller.

I think I've defeated demons. High Demon. Great Demon. Higher Demon.

It doesn't matter. I'm sad.

It feels sad to be alone because...well everyone else is dead. Wouldn't that mean our Class battle is over?

Should I feel happy being saved then tortured immediately by a demon?

I remember a heavily armored warrior ready to hack me with a large axe...A demon cut its head off but the axe continued until impact. The axe was way behind me as it was thrown.

Another warrior died about to backstab me with a dagger.

So I was like saved by both a warrior and a demon?? I couldn't save the warrior.

The demon took off the helmet and armor of the fat warrior. The demon ate the warrior after burning it to crisp.

Fat...Pig nose...Brown robe while wearing heavy armor?!

No...It must be...Roark.

I don't want to think about my memories here anymore.

I think a warrior is behind me and I've lost.

I feel pain but I've experienced every pain possible. It's not a demon's spear....

Maybe a demon picked up a Hero's sword to end me?

Would that count as a demon hurting me or a warrior finally eliminating me?

Anyway I shouldn't really think...further...Just one more.

Father told me when you see the light it means...it's time.

I hope it's not time yet. Will the respawn work?
