Chereads / Why am I the hero!? / Chapter 11 - Peacefulness

Chapter 11 - Peacefulness

POV: Morrigan

As he continued to run towards the light, what felt like nails dug through his brain. High pitched screaming could be heard as he fell to the ground clutching both sides of his head. "GET OUT. GET OUT! WE DONT WANT YOU! GIVE IT BACK!!! YOU'RE HURTING THEM!" It almost sounded like a toddler throwing a tantrum. When he looked behind him he would be confused to see a child with horns, long black wavy hair, and a small frame. She was crying? She kicked the ground through intervals of three. Sending out earsplitting sound waves as she screamed. Not even looking in his direction.

"Please stop! I don't know what I did to you but I'm sorry!" Suddenly her screams stopped, as her red eyes settled on him. Immense hatred emanated from her. "you. YOU DID THIS." Storming towards him she would extend a arm, as she opened her hand a scythe the size of both their bodies combined appeared. As it's full weight was held by her he would realize just how physically strong this child was. It could easily cleave him in half. Oh shit, it can- "FUCK IM SORRY OK. I DONT KNOW WHAT I DID TO YOU IM SORRY."

Without a second thought he would try to run away. But only she made progress, the hand not holding the scythe was outstretched and her hand had a insanely complex rune on it. "YOU HURT THEM." The entire mind scape around them started to shake. As it started she stopped, a happy smile forming on her face. "It will arrive soon. Your days are numbered… Hero." Her body started to fade, but before she faded completely she swung the scythe at him. Fazing through him he would be sitting on the ground in a ball. Hoping he wasn't about to die.

"For fucks sake! You're following me into my head now?" Rolling his eyes he would look at the status update. Staring in sheer in disbelief. He hasn't done anything to her! Yet she cursed him so easily!? Taking a look at the description his jaw would drop. 'Well I might as well sign my death certificate now- I'm so dead.' The crack of light glowed brighter than before. Calling him, it needed him to follow it. "Why do you need me? Why!?" He was yelling at light, he's surely lost it. Too many crazies have been near him as of late. His mental health has just gone down the drain because of them. "Fuck it! What do I have to lose?!"

Getting up he would start running towards the light again. This time a little less interested in knowing why he felt like he had to. Reaching towards it he would get a feeling that urged him to run faster. He was sprinting at full speed, he physically couldn't. Everything around him started to crumble and fall apart. Adrenaline started to rush through his body and mind. An idea popped into his mind. "Status!" Seeing as he wasn't getting tired he could just up his speed stat! Putting his three remaining stat points in speed he could feel his body move much faster than before. Jumping towards the light as the space beneath him crumbled away. He would finally be able to touch it.

Returning to consciousness, he would see a thief rummaging through what he had. He scoffed, when he only managed to find 45 Nexus. The thief looked at Morrigans face and saw a very angry looking man. Quicker than he's ever been before, he would smash his left gauntlet into the thief's head. Taking back all of his Nexus he'd spit on the thief.

"Next time you steal from someone make sure they're fully asleep." Turning to the street he would start to walk towards it. Spotting someone he was thinking about not too long ago he would try to hide his face. But it was too late, he was spotted. "Morrigan wait! Let me talk to you please!" What could Bennie possibly want from him now? Oddly enough he didn't want to leave, he wanted to hear what Bennie had to say. "Spit it out. You have five minutes." Wearing a sour expression he would wait for some stupid reason as to why the lie Bennie kept hidden for so long was ok.

"Listen… This place isn't really the best place to say it. Could you come to my place and let me tell you there? You also need a shower-" His sour expression would be replaced with a flustered one. "Shut your face. I'm perfectly clean." Smelling himself to verify it he would almost puke. But he'd try to make a neutral face, failing miserably. "See? Cmon let's go, you've got blood all over you too. I have some extra clothes for you."

As he followed Bennie, he'd feel like a puppy that just got scolded. 'AGHGG THIS FUCKING SUCKS. He's probably going to try to kill me or something.' Just in case, he'd stay on guard until they reached a fancy car. "Where do you live? I'm not getting in until you tell me." With a sigh Bennie would turn towards him "I promise I'm not going to try to kill you, if it makes you feel better I live on 1007 Park street. The fifth floor in room 230." Feeling like a open book he would huff and get into the car before Bennie could say something else.

On the way there Bennie would try to strike up communication. But most of his attempts were futile. Morrigan ignored him, the only reaction he had to what Bennie said was a sharp glare. Making sure the information he was given on where they were going was correct. He would confirm that Bennie lived on Park street. Once they pulled into the lot, they would get out and awkwardly walk to Bennies apartment. "So you live here huh. It's… Small." Believe it or not the apartment was on the nicer end, because Bennie got a good sum of money for surviving the orc attack.
