[In a arena built underground]
stood two men with many wounds.
one elderly with both hands on a katana and a stable posture, despite many wounds that bleed without stop he stood still and looked at his opponent.
Who was holding a long dagger and was in much worse shape, his left arm was missing, he had a deep wound on his chest from which blood flowed without a sign stopping.
But that didn't stop him from laughing.
"HAHAHAHAHA. I didn't think you were hiding so much!
and I've spent the most time analyzing you and your backstory for over two years!
but losing is losing there is no excuse for that!
it is even an honor to die by a master's blade!'
Without changing his expression, the old man replied
'So you kidnapped me, put me in the arena and made me fight to the death for what? to die?'
"no no no, human develops most in the most difficult conditions or die trieing. And what is the more difficult situation than a fight to the death?
I've always been interested in a human limit.
Where is the limit? how long will it take? how will the man that achieved limit look like?
it started with curiosity and ended with obsession!
And finally all my questions have been answered!
YOU have reached the limit of what a man can achieve in terms of bodily control and combat experience!
How many fights to the death did it take you to achieve this? 100? 500? 1000?"
"..."
'won't you answer?
hahaha well too bad.
the key to the exit is in my belly, so you'll have to kill me to get it!
well then let's finish this!"
I immediately dashed to him but he raised his katana above head level and waited for me.
when I was within range of his katana, he swing it at a speed I couldn't see, all I saw was a blur then I started to drop in two opposite directions.
*bam*
my body, which was so perfectly cut in half, fell dead to the floor.
====================================================== =
"Too bad my body was too badly hurt, maybe if I was at least without a punctured kidney and lung then maybe I could at least try to block this attack.
ha, let's face it, even if I tried to block it, he would cut me along with the dagger.
Avoid? good joke even if I been without any wounds it would be impossible!
but still even though he removed his natural body limit it was a bit of a let down, I could still see the blade blur in the attack where it was focused on speed.
Maybe I should focus on genetics and robotics and modify my body to make it invincible be it a gun or a bomb!
well now it doesn't matter when i'm dead.
It's dark everywhere, I can't even see my hands.
do i have my hands at all?
weird feeling.
some god will come and take me to hell or something?
because I'm not going to heaven,that for sure! haha.
hmm, well, let's wait, there must be quite a queue.
====================================================== =
"how long I have to wait?
how long has it been?
does god even exist?
does afterlife exist?
so all religions are pure crap huh?
only darkness awaits you after death!
no touch, no smell, no hunger, no pain.
I can't even sleep!
if it goes on like this it will go insane!
maybe this is hell?
Could there be a worse torture than living in eternal darkness without the senses of the body?"
While I was wondering if it was possible to commit suicide in this place, a small ray of light appeared in the vision.
"huh?'
witch was getting bigger every second and when he was in front of me he looked like a big hand made of light.
Without hesitation, the hand grabbed me and began to pull me in the direction it came from.
"What is it about?
where is he taking me?
hmm. well for sure to a better place that!
I'm sure I can't go to a worse place than this darkness!"
After an indefinite amount of time, dragged by the hand, we reached a large gate that was so bright that I wanted to squint my eyes but it turned out that I had no eyelids, so I had to withstand the blinding light.
That didn't last long, after mybody been drew in by hand.
On the other side of the gate I saw more gates, there were thousands of them, and which, unlike the previous one, were not made of blinding lights but of materials such as stone, bricks, iron, glass, clouds?
When the hand drew me in front of the gates and disappeared as if it had never been.
"Now what? will someone show up and explain something or should I choose randomly?
I waited for a while but no one showed up.
"so what am I supposed to choose myself huh? what a lousy service.'
But when I started to wonder which entrance to enter, I felt a huge pressure on myself that started to drag me to one of the gates, which was made of lava.
"huh?!"
"It doesn't look interesting!
sorry i was just joking about the crappy service!
this gate doesn't look nice at all!
I definitely prefer the one made of clouds or glass, it looks much nicer!"
but no matter what i said i was dragged to the gates and i felt a great sense of sleep i haven't felt in years.
