Right, I have no time to be worrying about this monster. For you to consider this monster's actions as mere " playing " terrifies me.
I only pray that I may never experience this same hell you have, Marcus.
Furthermore, how strong is Hravati anyways? I have known her for quite a while now, and I'm positive she is powerful, but for someone like Marcus, who can single-handedly take on a beast of this stature easily, I cannot begin to fathom how far her strength goes.
What the hell is she able to do?
Please excuse me for my incessant rambling. I am afraid of this woman I have slept in the same house in!
I always knew she was a gorilla on the inside! This beast's beauty will trick me no longer! I will stand for what I believe in; I will stand for what is right.
I swear to my name, Ars Von Silverwood, noble abuse will stop!
And so I continued this freedom speech for just about an hour or so. Little did I know, I was unconscious and was brought to the hospital by Marcus.
Once I woke up, he explained that I had pissed my pants to sleep. I don't believe it, and I hope you don't as well.
What's weird is that I adorned the same clothing I had before. Don't patients usually get changed into hospital gowns? Or have I been misled by these doctor movies I've watched?
In contrast to my usual style of extending the story with my non-humourous dialogue, I spend my time alone in this hospital bed with no one to converse with, not a single soul.
Marcus went back to the station for work, and the nurses were all male.
Did this guy seriously bring me to an all-male hospital? Or did he bring me to the females-only patient hospital instead? Either way, both sound horrendous.
" Today has been a long day... And now that I know I can't trust my very own mother and sister, it makes all the more stressful. "
That is to say, they are still alive, of course.
It's been thousands of years, and even my father is dead. It's safe to assume that my mother and sister have passed away. I can't hold on to the idea of them being alive. I'll admit, there is still the possibility that they haven't awoken. However, there is a flaw to this possibility.
My father's diary. He mentioned that those two were not to be trusted, a sign that they had already woken up at some point.
It's also unlikely for them to be alive.
They are enigmas.
Trust me when I tell you this. I have no recollection of those two having prior combat experience. I rarely see my relatives at home other than my father. Although, I could write that off as my fault since I'm often outside.
Once I'm released, I'll adequately confess to Hravati- Wait, no.
Wrong line. Until I have more than one woman at my side, my confession will have to come later.
It makes the scenario more impactful, no?
If you will all excuse me, I will now take a nap.
.
30 minutes later.
.
A long, long sleep later.
.
A whole week later.
.
" Gwahh!! That was some nice shut-eye. It feels like I've been sleeping for an entire month! "
How odd. This hospital feels way older than it was before. Not only are the lights flickering, but the walls' layers have scraped off.
As perfect as perfect timing could be, a raging storm began to pour its anger from the heavens as though great despair was about to befall me.
I don't have a good feeling about this.
I looked around my surroundings to see if anything else was out of place. To my honest surprise, I see a familiar beauty right beside me. Odd, I don't remember hiring any nurses to sleep with me?
This person is using me for money!
Just kidding, it's Bastia.
Though, I wonder why she's here? I'm pretty sure Hravati or Papivrana would have been the first ones to visit me after one day. I should ask her for some details. This situation does not seem normal whatsoever. Who knows? Maybe we did something fun, but I didn't remember.
" Hey, Bastia... " I say. I nudge her a bit to wake her up. It doesn't wake her up, though. It seems as if this one's a heavy sleeper. Surprisingly enough, there seem to be no evident signs of drool on me.
She's a very prim and proper woman, as expected.
As I nudge one more time, her eyes shoot open. She looks at me and seems to be in shock even. I'm not quite sure what her expression is supposed to mean. I've only been asleep for one day, so it wouldn't make sense if she would react like this unless somebody important has died.
" Ars! You're awake! How have you been? What happened to you? " She cries.
After her brief and abrupt cry, she promptly ran her fingers through my wrist, checking my vitals. I appreciate the gesture, but you're too beautiful to be this close to me! I'm not sure Junior will take this lying down.
" What do you mean? I've been sleeping for one day. I should be asking what happened to you, and why are you here? "
" One day? You've been asleep for a whole year! More importantly, Miss Hravati and Miss Papivrana have been missing for months! And now that they're gone, this city, we've been invaded by monsters... "
As she says this, tears well up from her eyes and come streaming down. I want to believe her, though, I've been in these kinds of situations before, and I don't want to be caught in a prank video for people's entertainment.
" A whole year? Missing? Monsters? Surely you jest. This isn't some joke you tell someone who's been hospitalized, you know? "
She doesn't say anything. It's starting to make me worry and think she could be telling the truth. I rummage through my pocket to check my cellphone, seeing the date.
March 31, 3026.
It's been well over a damn year!
" Wait, please explain this to me, Bastia! "
" Y- "
But before she could continue to speak, time had stopped. The hands of the clock stopped. Bastia's lips were frozen in motion. How am I able to perceive such a thing? I don't know, but this looks like one of those intense anime moments I've seen before.
[ Heh, are you his son? Your face passes the test, but your physical abilities are nowhere near his—what utter dog water. This ' hope ' that worthless bimbo was spouting about was nothing but shit. ]
" Who's there!? " I scream.
This voice is sinister, even for my tastes. It seems to be that of a female, but I haven't heard someone as obnoxious and rude as this one. I thank her for the compliment, but I'm not so delighted by the insults she just threw at me. What does she mean by his? And who is this worthless bimbo she mentioned?
[ Haha, you don't need to know who I am. But very well, I shall tell you so that you at least have a chance of doing something to save someone. Oh, I forgot that you've already failed at doing that before! ]
" COME OUT, NOW! YOUR TRICKS AREN'T FUNNY ANYMORE! "
[ Ah, I so dearly wish I could tell you, but I can't. I'm enjoying your anger, something you somehow surpass your father at, impressive. Don't worry; I'll be giving you a nice treat if you manage to finish this game I've given you. Kill a few monsters and save your princesses, yeah? In the end, you may even get me as your prize <3 ]
" Cut the crap. You're telling me you're the one who's caused this invasion and the disappearance of my two beloveds? What are you, my mom? my sister? "
[ Ew, I would never want to be your mother or sister. Those disgusting creatures have nothing to do with me. I'm disappointed that you even thought of that. No matter. Let's say I'm that special someone you shouldn't have mentioned. I'll see you at the City Dome, okay? ]
" T- Tanirava...? I thought you were supposed to be my ally? My father's diary said so! "
[ How can I ally with someone so weak? Besides, the beast and I couldn't defeat your family. What makes you think a deadweight could help us? If you can at least solve a problem like this, we'll spare your life. You needn't be involved in such a matter; you aren't required. ]
" I'm not needed? This is my family. You're the outsider. I have every right to confront them. "
[ I never knew the son of the most remarkable man could be so vain, disappointing. If all you can do is complain and whine, I'll end your life here and now. You are both incapable of saving lives and saving your girlfriends. I've changed my mind. Do whatever you want. You're useless. ]
" Wait! "
However, all that is left for me is dead air. A non-existent response. As the lord of demons disappeared, time began to resume.
" SHIT!!!!!!!! "
" Wha! What happened, Ars?! "
" She got away. Tanirava, she got away! Please, Bastia, tell me the closest place for me to grow stronger. "
" Right- Right away! "
I won't let her get away with this. My family won't get away with this either. The disrespect I've received from these two parties is too much; I've had it.
I will get stronger, and I will kill them all. I will make both of these assholes regret ever messing with me.
I swear on my name, Kaizer Molifars Siegfried Karionis Von Silverwood, will find the truth about my father's words and the actual cause of this Grand Sleep that has changed humanity.
( If you're going to ask why my name is longer now, I wanted to make this line cooler for when I would say it. I have the right to conceal information. You'll have to deal with me making adjustments to my lore and background every time something noteworthy happens. )
