Chapter 2 - 2

It has been a few years since the incident happened

He thought for seventeen years that his life solely belongs to him however he was wrong he was a game character in this tactical game called [Ersoen]

He realized this when he did his second mission he had a hundred men left and a hundred thousands enemies

Their food rations have been stolen and their arrows and equipment are limited their fortress is damaged

The request for aid was denied

He lost all hope he sended of his remaining men in groups to retreat only a few group would survive but its better than nothing and he remain standing there by the forthress waiting for the final battle a few dozen men in his side willing to die with him

He drunk one final sip to the alcohol laced with poison he have before handing it over to his right hand man Ashley who took a sip and the liquor was passed around

When the enemy charged they too charged head on smoke covered the whole place as planned and they begun to swing around

It was a strategy to take down as many enemies as possible a last remaining aid to the future people who would fight the horde of goblins

He moved his body till he can no longer anymore panting heavily with the sword he held now more heavier and his arms aching and sore

He stab his sword to the ground his eyes growing heavy as the poison kicking in full motion

He fell to his knees as multiple spears and a sword pierced his body and he cluttered to the ground and there he saw face to face his men laying on the ground

Ashley lay stiff a few meters away from him she was missing an arm and mutliple goblins continue to piece her body making sure his no longer alive

Soon he saw in the middle of a battlefield a white butterfly flutter towards him

[Ah~ i failed again( つ﹏⊂ )]

[I told you there's no hope to elijah(◡︵◡)]

'That sound where is that coming from?'

[Still( ̄¬ ̄ヾ)]

[You idiot! Your just wasting gems on a three star character quest just do another character quest instead( °□°) ︵ ┻━┻]

[No!! I'm gonna do this quest no matter what! I want to know his lore(-'д´- 。)]

[You stupid nerd! Just read the fansite and you learn his lore( ¬ _¬)]

[I tried already no one knows yet.⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠'(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠'⁠·⁠. ]

[Really?(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)]

'Ah just shut up and let me rest' Elijah closed his eyes

"Well then Elijah let's do this one more time!"

When Elijah woke up to a familiar ceiling he can't help but panic

"Are you alright commander?" Ashley questioned him

Unable to stop himself Elijah embraced Ashley tightly, "are you? Are you really alive?"

Ashley shoved him away, "yes?" She raised an eyebrow

"I...i think i got a bad dream"

'It's not a bad dream' Elijah said to himself as he gulped seeing the familiar goblin horde once again with his spyglass

"Ashley, tighten the security of our storage" he commanded

"Yes, sir"

Elijah gripped his sword tightly and prepared for battle

"Collect some water by the river make sure its enough to sustain us for two months! Fish as much as you can!"

"Cancel the message for aid and send message to the nearby villages to stack on water! And food!"

"Gather all the waste and poison we had!"

The camp move swiftly on his commands and his eyes remain on the horde

When he lowered his hands the toxic waste mix with poison was poured down the river

The clear river was dyed and the battle has started

The river was the source of food and water of not just humans but goblins and with that cut off its a matter of endurance

The goblins who was large in number would not last very long they tried to steal from the villages and the fortress but was fend off by  Elijah's men soon they begun to fight for their remaining food and even entered cannibalism after a month the goblins have been weakened

It was nightime when they attack and it was successful

That time his men feasted for their victory and they kindly offered the clean up of the river and gave their remaining resources to the village

As they leave the are to return to the capital the butterfly landed on his shoulder

[i finally did it!! I'm so glad (⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ノ⁠*⁠.⁠✧]

Elijah smiled in return with this being by his side he would surely not lose. It was as if he was blessed

But blessing can turn into a curse

"P-please no more.." he pleaded to the voice as the butterfly appeared again

He did not know how many times he regressed already it has already confused him a lot

The bonds he created and those deaths it makes a mess in his brain

He can't think properly at times as he experience derealization

It's uncomfortable and he find himself lashing out on his allies who did him wrong in other times making him seem cruel

[I think i'm bugging again(⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠'⁠) ]

[Just restart its free anyway (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)]

"Ah...noo" Elijah woke up again in his bed

[I hope this works this time           ( つ﹏⊂ )]

"Haa..please just stop" Tears trickled down Elijah's face he can't do this anymore

[Hang in there Elijah(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠) ]

[We just need to fight couple more battles and after the battle against the queen of spiders i can finally unlock you ᕕ( ՞ ᗜ ՞ )ᕗ]

'Unlock? I don't know what that means but if thats the thing that would stop all this i take it'
