*Bam*
The kick was very heavy, I vomited almost everything I had for today.
"Why are you smiling! WHY ARE YOU SMILING!"
The monster in front of me, grabbed my hair and slammed my head on the wall.
Blood came out as my forehead skin was torn open and the flesh inside was visible.
"Is it funny huh!"
The monster frowned and grunted as he walked out of the basement leaving me alone.
Yes, it was funny.
Very funny.
"Hehe… hehe…"
Whenever I laugh, I feel better. The pain and injuries I got would always decrease with my smile.
"It's enjoyable to beat me, isn't it?"
I asked the one entity who was together with me from the very beginning.
Darkness…
Unfortunately, darkness couldn't reply to me. After all, it had no physical body.
I stared blankly, my eyes were regaining the little bit of light it had.
What more could go wrong now?
A meteor falling from the sky?
A volcanic eruption?
Tsunami?
Or-
* * *
*Boom*
I felt my body flying in the air while my eyes gazed at the scene of a huge cannonball.
The wall I was tied to broke apart into pieces and the chains were freed.
*Thug*
My body fell on the solid basement floor, the ceiling and walls around me also broke and collapsed.
"Damn!"
One pillar came right above me and stopped just a few centimeters from me as it was blocked by other large wall pieces.
*Boom*
"Ahhhh! Pirates!"
"Help! Save me!"
The screams of the people in the town were echoing far to the end of the island.
Pirates?
It seemed that the cannonball belonged to the invading pirates.
I tried to get up but the chains tied to my right leg got stuck between the pillar and the large piece of wall.
"Tch."
I wasn't feeling scared or fearful of the situation but was a little excited.
I might be able to escape.
*Boom*
Another explosion occurred right beside my house as all the cement and woods flew around.
Smoke raised and dust covered the town while the pirates started their indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people.
Also not forgetting to loot the houses.
*Thud*
Something fell near me, I looked at the fruit which had a very weird design and shape.
My stomach let out a growl as soon as my eyes caught the sight of this fruit near me.
I gulped my saliva and reached out my hand to grab the fruit before me.
It was big and heavy. No, I was weak and not very strong in condition.
"Is it edible?"
I thought but my stomach started to hurt even more as I shook my head and took a bite of the weird fruit.
Was it because I was dehydrated and my tongue had been affected, that the fruit tasted like mud.
But I swallowed it and ate the last of the fruit without wasting a second longer.
My stomach started heating up to quite the extremes as I clenched my fists.
"Ahge!"
My head was spinning, I looked at my hands which were going through a process of shifting.
Yes, my hands were becoming invisible and visible as it shifted from one side to the other.
Like a ghost but also very different.
*Thud*
The chains tied to my wrists fell on the floor, making me very surprised.
"What the hell?"
I was stunned and unable to speak further as my body completely shifted from below the pillar to the stairs.
"Ha… Ha… Ha…"
Panting, I had to use the side wall of the stairs as support to walk up.
It hurts!
Each step made my legs want to rip open. My body after so long period of torture was barely able to stick together.
Gritting my teeth, I crawled up the stairs and saw that the roof was no more and the sky could be seen through.
Bedrooms and bathroom were on the first floor but now, they all came to the ground.
"H-Help!"
A weak and fragile voice came from behind a wall in the living room near the house entrance.
I had a very difficult time crossing over the collapsed walls and ceilings.
"H-Help!"
Finally reaching the living room after a few minutes, I saw who the voice belonged to.
"Oh my dear little sister Lily! What have you become!"
I looked at the little girl trapped in a large piece of cement and metal rods.
Her right hand was crushed into mincemeat by the heavy cement while a few metal rods entered her delicate body.
"H-Help!"
Lily moved her head, eyes filled with tears and horror, stared at the person who came near her.
"B-Brother! H-Help me! I don't want to die!"
Lily's voice was shaking with fear of death and with time, she was losing lots of her blood.
"Does it hurt?"
I asked. I can say, I was grinning as I looked at my cute little sister's suffering.
"Yes! It h-hurts! A lot! Help me, brother!"
Lily looked very miserable. If nothing is done, there's no chance for her survival.
I turned my gaze ro looked at the table which was actually blocking the largest piece of cement from crushing Lily entirely.
Then my right hand unknowingly moved and touched my face which was once spit by her.
"Hehe… Hahahaha!"
Bursting into laughter, I gripped my face tightly as my smile grew bigger and creepier.
Blood dripped down my chin as the cut sides of my lips which were closed opened up again.
"Haha! Hahah!"
Lily stared at her crazy brother who was laughing uncontrollably as he was in a facepalm.
"B-Brother?"
Called out Lily in fright as she saw him grab the only table which was keeping her alive.
"No! Don't do that!"
I grinned even more as I pulled one of the table legs which looked the easiest to break.
"Damn you! Shit like you must have died!"
Suddenly, Lily seemed to become another person as she cursed loudly.
I knew it from the very beginning. And I didn't want to help her.
I was just thinking what could I do with this weak body to kill her.
"Ahh!"
But the fucking table leg was still very tough. And with the weight of the cement it had become even harder.
"Little more!"
I used all my strength to pull the table leg while cute Lily was in horror and cursing me.
"Please! I beg you! B-Brother, I will do anything you say please don't kill me!"
Seeing me not stop, Lily changed her tone and personality as if it was a game.
*Spit*
A sticky liquid landed on Lily's face, which she touched and her eyes widened.
"Bye bye! You brother will always love and remember you, my cute little Lily!"
*Bam*
The table leg broke as the table couldn't hold on the cement weight any longer.
*Boom*
The huge piece of cement fell down as the ground shook, I fell on my but gasping for breath.
Blood slashed around on me and the surrounding floor.
"How lovely a day, isn't it?"
I smiled as I looked up at the sky filled with black smoke and dust clouds.
"Hehe."
