Chereads / The Immortals Gambit / Chapter 6 - Himself

Chapter 6 - Himself

Ryn always was an emotionless guy seldom smiled or even laughed and when he did it was weird and crude like he wasn't used to it, but who could blame him he lost his parents at a young age, he doesn't have any siblings to his knowledge, and worked in an environment where even the smallest mistake could end his life.

He was always at the bottom of Society no one acknowledged him and no one respected him, so imagine his surprise when he discerned the emotion of the Stalker what do you think he did, did he use that chance to run away or did he attack it in using the stalkers fear as a way to deal a finishing Blow.

No no, and no he got out of his confused mindset stood up straight, and giggled maniacally

His normally emotionless face slowly made a smile while looking deep into the Stalker's eyes and let out sound escape from his mouth while standing there in a legion of scattered corpses of the people who tried to challenge this cave or got here by accident or maybe even was in the same situation like Ryn.

His Giggles slowly turned from giggles to laughter it was laughter so menacing and creepy that if anyone ever heard it they would get Goosebumps, the Stalker got even more on guard and took a step back even though he had a huge build ranging to maybe double of Ryn's height he still was scared.

From a different perspective, they would see a huge uneven area with stone walls rising to the sky with a big gap at the top letting the sun shine through on a specific place, there standing a shining naked non-muscular but skinny build Boy with messy Black hair and Deep ocean colored eyes and clear skin devoid of any imperfections but still not really enough to be called Handsome,

laughing in the middle of an area full of corpses with a rusty and old longsword smeared with aged blood in his right hand, in front of the boy was an atrocities monster who had a huge and malnourished body, you could even see his ribs if one looked closely dark gray fur covering his entire body and a wolf shaped face with sea-colored eyes the most eye-catching was his razor-sharp claws which shined in the light.

The Monster was in a beast-like attack position its claws and feet on the ground growling and making ready to strike but still wary in this position he had to look up to see his Prey but some people would think it was bowing to Ryn, blood spilling out of his gut making a little pool of dark blood beneath it while the dagger was still poking out of the monster.

'This is crazy that guy hunted me like a dog now it's scared this .. this what is this feeling what am I feeling this is addictive being feared by someone who thought of me as prey because of a lucky sh...' Ryn couldn't finish that thought because while laughing his ass off the Stalker rammed against Ryn and launched him to a nearby wall breaking it in the slightly in the process.

'Shit Shit Shit I have to stand up' Ryn thought while trying to greedily breathe through his probably crushed lungs after he managed to gulp a large amount of air he tried to ignore the pain and stand up with his longsword which should have been in his hand.

'where is it, it should have been in my hand !' he looked around and saw the injured monster slowly creeping closer while the longsword was near him on the floor 'I'm so dumb why did I let my weapon go OK OK think I don't have a weapon what should I do' he turned to his side and saw a skeleton corpse with webs on it and then he got an idea but it would be painful as hell.

'No choice either way so why not at least die while killing a high-grade monster will be better than dying for nothing'

"Hey!! Fatass come and get me you ugly piece of trash now I know why you hide in the shadows to spare your Victims from seeing that shit stain of what you call a face"

Even though the Stalker didn't understand what he said he recognized some of the words that his past victims used like fatass and ugly he put one and one together and noticed that this was an insult and what seemed like an effective one because it got clearly insulted.

It let out a blood-curdling roar and launched its wounded body against Ryn who surprisingly welcomed it 'That actually worked I didn't even know he could understand me this makes it easier and sadly more painful' Ryn thought while waiting for the attack.

The Stalker slammed against Ryn which resulted in Ryn gasping for air and biting deep into his shoulder, his claws digging in Ryn's body and his bite not letting go.

'Shit that hurt more than I originally thought but ok now I just have to' Ryn let out a loud scream "You Bitch"

Ryn hadn't recovered from his previous wound and overestimated himself also didn't account for claws digging into his gut but he gathered all his strength and took out a foreign object from the body next to him an object that he already used against the monster, a dagger.

*Ding* *Ding*

He Ignored It

He took the dagger out and plunged it at the side of the Stalker's body and twisted it, he thought that if caused enough pain it would let go and retreat or die from blood loss but neither happened it did the opposite it bit even harder, it had the same mindset if it's already gonna die then why not one more body to his closet.

'Wait this isn't what I planned it hurts it really fucking hurts I'm going to die I'm really going to die' Ryn thought while getting weaker and weaker, blood flowing out of his body and of the Stalker they both are going to die here together forever Ryn thought that while getting a flash of his entire life in a single moment 'I never believed that myth where you see your life flashes across my eyes but now that I see it twice there's no denying it now

I lived a shitty Life' Before this moment Ryn always tried to say that he had a decent life and that he was happy that he told himself every day, why you ask because it was a countermeasure to stop the greatest thing from ending his Life Forever

Ryn looked at the clear Sun for the first time in this life, water rising inside his eyes and letting out a single tear that thing was...

Himself

Then he felt something hit his leg and Ryn gained a moment of Clarity and thought ecstatically

'The dagger!!'

Smiling and gaining a will to survive once again he used all his strength and stepped right at the handle of the 90-degree dagger slicing the Stalker and giving it a deep cut downwards its organs fall out which looked disgusting and weird they didn't all look like normal organs found on earth somewhere confusing, others simple, and made of entirely different colors apart from the normal blood red normally found on Organ but that doesn't matter right now because Ryn didn't give a shit.

The Stalker's bite loosened and let go of Ryn's right shoulder completely, Ryn used that opportunity to gather his strength and pushed the Stalker away from him.

The Stalker monster wailed in pain and agony staggering back and falling on his butt with his organs almost disconnected from his body slowly dying it looked at Ryn with fear and black tears in its eyes, Ryn who was in no condition to do anything smiled maniacally, it saw the Human who appeared from nowhere in his cave and who turned his whole life view upside down lifting a hand with noticeable struggle showed a Hand Sign unknown to the abomination while saying another one of those Insults and still smiling brightly.

"Fuck you," Ryn said while showing a middle finger

The Stalker died

*Ding*
