Chereads / Ocular Menace: Misadventures of a Man with many Eyes / Chapter 20 - Tears of a Transmigrator

Chapter 20 - Tears of a Transmigrator

After walking outside the gate, Ruby sees a speck in the distance and approaches it. After walking for about 15 minutes, she see Johnathan standing alone in the rain, head looking up to the sky he noticed Ruby standing there and then starts talking out loud.

"What is a real warrior? Being the strongest, or being derived by tiers? I stand alone atoning for the mistake of underestimating my enemies. But a true warrior doesn't shed tears in the downpour, he can only cope with his sadness and frustration and joins nature's cry." Johnathan stands there motionless. Never blinking, just looking into the clouded sky.

Johnathan knew this moment would come, but that didn't make this any easier for himself. He feels that if he known this was coming, he shouldn't have spared the man, but this was reality, and he had just gotten any bit of naivety left in him crushed. He wondered what the man's name was, and if he had a family and kids, wondering how they would feel to have their husband or father dead because of a strangers naivety and mercy.

Ruby just stands there looking at him for a minute, realizing she shouldn't really say something yet.

She then decides to say something. "A true warrior is someone who always strives for the top, letting nothing stand in the way, feeling nothing but the desire for more power. But there was never a need for you to be a true warrior Johnathan, it's a mindset you've imposed on yourself. There was never a need for you to throw away your kindness or empathy. Your powerful now Johnathan, and with power comes the responsibility of others. You could kill an entire city or protect them from harm, either it being direct or indirect doesn't change the result. Lives will always be lost when you take action, it doesn't matter if it's a warrior charging at the gate, fighting for enough money to feed his family, or the mother inside the village, trying to find somewhere safe to hide her son. Everyone has a story no matter what they've done, and there lives are decided by you, the one with the power to change the situation."

Johnathan just stands there, never moving. After about 20 minutes, the sky starts to clear up, 5 minutes later, the sky clears, and Johnathan can be seen looking up, with dried tears on his face. He then turns to Ruby. "Thanks Ruby, really." She just nods her head.

They decide to walk back to town. After reaching entering the town square via portal in an alleyway, he then looks at his new quest.

After walking towards the north side of town, a giant manor can be seen, and the inside can be seen slightly. Ruby just nods and he teleports inside.

He's inside what he assumes is a study, as there's papers everywhere. He then quickly opens the study and sees no one. After wandering for a while he hears moaning. Knowing damn well what's happening, Johnathan decides to take his time around the mansion. He looks over his minimap, on floor 3 there's an area marked "Strange Moaning."

While two people are doing it in the room, he's standing outside. He opens the door slightly to appraise them. He sees them doing it, but he feels nothing.

Johnathan looks at them in a new light, he wondered if they could be left alone. He decides to come back to it later, he then starts looking for Andrews private dungeon. After at bit of walking around, he finds an empty shelf covering an indented wall. Clearly something happened here, he removes the shelf from the wall and sees a handle where hidden to the right side, after opening the, he walks down a spiral staircase. The further he goes down, the more pungent the smell of semen, sweat, piss and blood is.

After he walks down there he sees 15 cells, 9 of have women chained to the wall inside of them. All these women look dead, there eyes are lifeless, not really caring what happened to them next. Johnathan then decides to try something on them.

He brainwashes all the women into forgetting the things Andrew had done to them. After that, he heals them all, unchains them. He buys some spare clothes from the system and gives it to the women. He then opens a portal to where Ruby is. After they walk out, he telports to outside the entrance and fixes. He then decides to listen in on the conversation between Rebecca and Fredrick.

"Dear, shouldn't your son and husband be back by now? " Fredrick asks

"What do I care honey, that fat bastard and spoiled brat are always doing something immoral, it's probably for the better if they die. Besides, we could then get married."

"I guess your right Dear, getting married to you would be great."

They then start kissing again, so Johnathan leaves, deeming them "Manipulable"
