I got out of the bar and walked away from Fei Xue, I cleaned my clothes with my magic item and started to walk towards the castle, in the way I found some guards patrolling, so I informed them about strange noises and screams coming from the bar I purged.
The guards didn´t take long to ask for reinforcements with a circular crystal hanging in their shoulders and immediately marched to the establishment.
I kept my way while submerging in my thoughts.
Now that I think about it... How the fuck am I supposed to show this? I thought looking at the gallery on my phone.
I classified the pictures as an R-rated gore movie.
If I directly showed this to Fardan, questioning about how I got them would just be the beginning of my lockdown.
I guess I´ll delete them, those guys were are already going to the crime scene anyways.
In the end, I took some nasty photos for nothing, sometimes my plans were not as good as expect them to be, but as long as the end is satisfactory, it didn´t matter the method.
Let´s see what´s up with you. I mumbled pulling out a book from my suit.
I pick it up from one of the fanatic´s corpses.
The cover was completely dark and the sheets, of a dull yellow color, were stained in blood.
I thumbed the book a little, what I found was a collection of depraved rituals to invoke amorphous creatures.
I could only understand half of what it said, something about creatures with great power that could be used by the summoner to fulfill its wishes.
But again, the source of this information is a book of a fanatic cult, all the texts, and videogames that I´ve seen always agree on something.
Demons do not grant your wishes, but theirs.
...Maybe I should destroy it.
The knowledge that these dark texts granted shouldn´t exist, they were nothing but a trap for poor desperate, and pitiful bastards in search of happiness.
-I think if I had this before... I would be part of those freaks.
I took a quick decision.
-Freeze.
I froze the book and with the force of my hands, I crushed it until its little pieces flew with the winds.
Then, I pulled out my pack and to my tough luck, only one cigarette was left.
-Haaaahhhhh*
I just gave a long sigh after accepting the cruel reality.
I searched for a good place to sit and started to smoke, of course taking care not to bother anyone with the smoke of the cigarette.
Am I getting too involved? I thought looking at the endless blue sky.
Making a retrospective of all that has happened, my plan of living inside the castle until I could return to earth didn´t sound as convincing as before.
I was brought to this world as one of the heroes, but I neither have the title or the class that proofs it, quite the opposite, I have a class and title that sounds useless and my blessing is of a villain.
Although it has sense if you know what I´ve done.
I closed my eyes and remembered my first home.
My home was... gray...
I lived in a small house made of old wood.
Putting it in simple words, my parents were stupid people.
Dad was some kind of entrepreneur or salaryman, but the business failed, he became an alcoholic gambler and owe to the wrong people.
I had to pay for it.
Mom was a prostitute, when I was five she abandoned my father and me.
Ten years after I saw her again in... very peculiar circumstances.
Love was something that my home never had, when I gained consciousness the only thing I heard from my father were complaints about society.
"They don´t understand the magnificence of this, no one does, just me!"
He said that like if he was some kind of misunderstood genius, but the truth is that he was an immature idiot.
I rarely saw my mother, the few times she arrived home she reeked of tobacco, alcohol, and other fluids, since she knew that father would stupidly spend the money, she gave it to me.
"Buy something to eat and don´t tell the loser of your father".
After exchanging some words with me, she walked out of the door again for who knows how many days.
Until one day, after giving me more money than normal, she looked at me and said: "You should go soon".
She never returned after that day.
I never had the opportunity to go to school, I always spent my time searching for a job to survive, fortunately, I found a lot of good people willing to help me.
Thanks to them I learned how to read and write, along with a bit of arithmetic.
I was the sustenance of my home until I was nine.
At least until I was sold by my father.
***
Tock* Tock*
-García! Time to pay!
-C-Coming!
While I was counting the money to survive the month, the voice of a furious man almost breaks the door, dad woke up from the couch and went to his room.
Fuck, To whom owes money this time?
Just the past week I talked with my father about his bets and clandestine business, I tried to convince him to stop doing so, but the idiot ignored me as he said: "You don´t understand anything about business, so leave me alone!" "I just need a small loan and we will be rich in no time!"
I never understood why I tried so hard to make him feel proud of me.
Crack! *
The wooden door fell with a thunderous creak, a pair of huge tattoed men entered the house.
-What the fuck?!
-It´s him? Asked one with a blue t-shirt.
The second, that was using a red t-shirt, pulled out a phone from his pants and wandered his gaze between the device and me.
-It is.
When the first confirmed the suspects of the second, they started to walk in my direction.
What is this?! What is going on?!
My heart began to race at undescribable speed.
-You come with us.
Feeling the danger I took a knife from my scrappy kitchen and with a shaky hand, swung it around to threaten the approaching men.
-Stay back! I don´t know who the fuck are you or what you want, but I´ll cut you if you come closer!
Both men looked behind me.
PFF* HAHAHAHAHA! *
And they burst into a laugh.
-Antonio...
By hearing the voice of my father my heart relaxed a bit.
-Explain it to me later! Give them what they want!
-... I´ll do that.
-All right, then-
Thump*
-Eh?
My back felt the feet of my father pushing me to the thugs, the hit was so unexpected that I dropped the knife and fell to the floor.
-Grab him!
Both men held my arms and restrained my movements, once they made sure that I couldn´t resist, they lift me.
I slowly turned my gaze to my father.
-... Dad?
-I-It´s fine son, Once the project is a success I´ll be able to buy you! This is just temporary!
-... Buy me?
I was wordless, I knew my father was a stupid loser, but I never thought he would do something like this, not after all I did so we could survive.
All that I sacrificed to have something to eat the next day, all the pain and shame I had to suffer from the people who knew my parents, how much I tried to not hate the people who had a better life than mine, how hard I tried to get us afloat.
-... D-Dad... Don´t do this... Please tell me it's a lie... Please... Tell me this is not true!!!!
Tears ran out of my desperate eyes, a hurtful knot took place in my neck.
-...
-Ohh, it is true kid.
Who broke the silence was one of the thugs.
-Your father here owed money to our boss, and since he didn´t have anything, he offered you as payment.
-... P-Payment?
A nasty sadistic smile emerged on his face.
-AHAHAHAHA! That´s right! Your father sold you to the mafia!
-!! The mafia?!
Both thugs started to pull me out of the house.
I tried to resist. but my nine-year-old body couldn´t against full-grown adults.
-D-dad!!! I- I´m sorry!!! If I made you angry I´m sorry!!! Please!!! Help me!!! I don´t want to die!!! Daaaaaaaad!!!!
-... I-Its something temporal son, I promise.
-... Something... Temporal?
.....
Creak*
Something broke inside me.
I didn´t know what it was.
But I swear to all that's good that I heard glass breaking inside my head.
-...Useless.
That man was beyond salvation.
Nothing but himself and his stupid business was important to him.
"You should go soon".
Now the words of that woman had sense.
If you knew that this was going to happen... Why didn´t you take me with you?...
The rage I held back all my life began to come out.
-C´mon, the police should be on their way.
-Ei, let's go kid, say goodbye to daddy.
The scum I called father didn´t even look at me, he turned his head aside and closed his eyes to not see how I was getting kidnapped in front of him.
Why?! Why is this happening?!
-DAMN IT! SHIT! FUCK!
I couldn´t do anything, no one was going to help me.
-IT´S YOUR FAULT! IT´S FAULT OF BOTH!
The thugs pulled me out of my house and took me to a black van in the outsides.
-I´LL KILL YOU! I SWEAR THAT ONE DAY I´LL FUCKING KILL YOU! I WILL FIND YOU AND THAT BITCH AND I´LL KILL YOU BOTH!!!!
-Shut the fuck up!
Thump*
They stamped my face against the closest wall.
I slowly lost consciousness.
The last thing I saw before fainting, was my father at the entrance laughing like a maniac.
-... Why?... Dad...
