BAMM!!..*
BAMM!!...*
"Damn...half-breed...if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck in this stupid dungeon!!" (Unknown)
BAMM!!...*
Some time has past since I had reincarnated into the body of young Gallant, it was also the time I had made a promise of vengeance for his unjustly death before falling asleep and resting my mentally fatigued mind
BAMM!!....*
After getting some well needed rest I had woken up feeling refreshed and somewhat full of energy a little hungry but better than I did before, I felt ready to start planning on ways to get stronger moving forward
BAMM!!.....*
However even after all this time my situation has barely moved an inch compared to young Gallants, my dire circumstances haven't changed all that much...regretfully
I'm still a punching bag....
BAMM!!...*
I'm still weak...
"9 months...of guarding the same filthy half-breed and allowing myself to even breathe the same air as this stain is such a disgrace!!!" (Unknown Guard)
BAMM!!....*
As of right now the same routine is currently taking place, with one of the guards taking turns to release their anger and frustrations towards me through violence and abuse
Thier actions disgusts me...
BAMM!!.....*
"Ahh!...Cough...Cough...ugh!" (Gallant)
However no matter what I think about their actions towards a child, if I allow myself to remain this weak my thoughts could remain air for all they care
BAMM!!....*

"Pui* Disgusting." (Unknown Guard)
After spitting directly onto me and mouthing out those words the guards footsteps slowly echoed further away until...
BANG!!*
"Seems.. cough...like he's had...ugh..his fill of fun today haha...cough." (Gallant)
I laughed trying to uplift my mood while coughing out a mouthful of blood
It's safe to say that my second attempt failed miserably...
Feeling the amount of damage throughout my body I could tell that the guard really did a number on me
'This ugh...could...take some...time..ugh...to fully heal.' (Gallant)
After some time later my body felt somewhat healed as the unbearable pain slowly subsided enough for me to move which I took advantage of by crawling towards the nearest wall and leaning directly onto it
If there was someone else in this dungeon cell they would have noticed a small smile appearing on my face which is kind of weird considering the beating I had just gone through
'Haha...I sensed him better this time.' (Gallant)
Although I had barely made progress on gaining strength, I did make some progress towards one of the aspects that had unfortunately placed limits to my future
Which was the Curse of {Eternal blindness} which blinded my eyes and to be honest is kind of hard to get used to, even though I had inherited young Gallants memories and experiences, my past life experiences, vage as they are, are still the deciding factor of my instincts, I can't just change that in this short amount of time
Sigh*
Anyways the progress I've made towards this problem is the utilization of one of the passive skills I possess, that skill being {Enhanced Senses}, this skill may not allow me to see things though my eyes but it does enhance all my other senses allowing me to feel my surroundings up to a surtain degree almost reaching superhu-...ah...wait... uh right!...supervampire level
This skill from what I've noticed allows me to sense my surroundings in a somewhat blurry perspective with living beings like the guards appearing as red coherent glowing figures, they were hardly detailed which basically made them look kind of like moving red glowing mannequins, while on the other hand inanimate objects like the walls of the dungeon I'm in for example is a...uh..how should explain it, a uhm..a...transparent something?
'Uh...oh they...look kind of like...transparent blurry versions of the...objects...I am sensing?' (Gallant)
Anyways the point is that even though I can't see things directly I can sense them enough to not accidentally bump into something or die a horriblely gruesome death from some unknown enemy
However while this skill may seem amazing and all, it does come with its own apparent downsides as a matter of fact, with the worst of them being the enhancement of my sense of touch reaching the threshold to almost supervampire level which also unfortunately enhanced my sense of pain by just as much
Meaning an ordinary punch to some, will feel like a knuckle sandwich right to my face
Sigh*
'It's an annoyingly painful downside but if it gives me a way to 'see' my surroundings, it's a worth while tradeoff for me.' (Gallant)
Other than that I did have another skill I could improve which is actually the only active skill I currently possess
{True Synthesis} sounds like a really good skill despite its awful description which really got me excited to test out its uses, unfortunately during my stay in this dungeon I had not made any progress on how to use the skill...regretfully
Sigh*
'How do I even activate this skill in the first place...hmm?.. from the sound of it...this skill seems...like one of those alchemy oriented skil-(Gallant)
CLANK!*
'!!!' (Gallant)
As I was trying to figure out the uses of this skill, the door was suddenly swang open for...some reason? which was honestly unexpected
'Did...one of the gaurds not have enough 'fun' today or-' (Gallant)
Step...
'!!!!!' (Gallant)
As soon as I heard the first echoing step coming from the presumed gaurd, my blood instantly ran cold as my heart started beating a harmonious beat...of pure and utter fear
Step...
I don't k-know how...b-but this-s person i-is different s-somehow...they s-sound t-they sound-d
'Dangerous.' (Gallant)
Step...
Instincts I had no knowledge of started blaring out waring me of the danger this person holds towards my life which caused me to hallucinate my death, happening in multiple gruesome ways
Visions of my death kept repeating in my head over and over again as my small body kept shivering nonstop
'Who i-is t-this?' (Gallant)
I thought with my head bowing not even daring to 'look' at the person directly
Step.
Moments later the persons steps stopped echoing throughout the dungeon walls and allowing silence to prevaile the surroundings...well almost, as only the sound of my heart could be heared echoing into the dungeon
Shing!
'!!!' (Gallant)
In that instance I felt as if the eyes of a predator were locked onto me, staring as if I was nothing more than prey that could be killed without much effort
Bump...pump...
I felt small
Bump...pump...bump...
Weak
Bump...pump...bump...pump...
Insignificant
Bump...pump...bump...pump...bump...
'I'm g-going to d-die.' (Gallant)
Even though I felt the fear of death hovering from above right at this moment, I also felt a ting regret
'I'm sorry...for failing to fulfill my promise to you...Gallant.' (Gallant)
I don't know how it happened but the next moment I felt my consciousness drift into soundless slumber unaware of what fate had in store for me
