JACK'S POV
As I laid down reading the news about my favorite novel online I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
I checked again and even asked my nurse to check it 4 me and she confirmed seeing the same thing.
And I couldn't help but sigh in resignation as I looked at the news posted by the author this morning *THE NOVEL (HEROIC SWORDSMAN) IS GOING ON HIATUS FOR THREE MONTHS WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED WE WILL BE BACK IN MAY TILL THEN 😊*
*SIGH* I sighed once again and dropped my phone, I had started Heroic swordsman novel a few weeks ago and I was hooked.
They were supposed to release the final volume today but it seems like the rumour I heard online was true about the author being Ill so the book was going on hiatus till he recovers.
Normally waiting three months wasn't supposed to be a problem but i wasn't going to live that long anymore.
I had a severe heart disease and so on the advice of the doctor I was admitted to the hospital.
And I only have a month left, 2 at most but that was it.
I wasn't going to live long enough to read the final volume.
I stood up and went to the bathroom to take my pills but as I got up I suddenly got dizzy and collapsed as my consciousness started fading away into the darkness.
I wasn't too panicked as this was one of the usual symptoms. It only occurred whenever I was late in taking my drugs.
So it would usually stop a while after I had taken them but I decided to just leave it be and let nature take it's course.
And so I stopped fighting and let the darkness consume me.
*******
A once beautiful planet somewhere in the universe was now in ruins with corpses everywhere and houses in ruin.
A figure in black could be seen walking amongst the carnage with no visible change in his eyes or on his face even while faced with all this carnage.
He stopped to look at a grotesque looking corpse of a mother covering her child trying to protect him but to no avail as there was a spear pierced through both of them.
There were dried marks on the side of her face indicating how hard she cried when the inevitable happened.
But the cloaked figure just continued walking seemingly unmoved by that heart breaking scene and continued towards a castle in the distance and entered.
Upon entering the castle he went straight to the center hall- the throne hall.
Inside the throne hall, there was an individual sitting on a black coloured throne with black hair and crimson coloured eyes wearing a black majestical robe.
He closed his eyes almost in resignation upon seeing the cloaked figure and opened them again.
Upon opening his eyes again unimaginable amount of pressure descended on the cloaked figure.
But the cloaked figure just stared at the figure on the throne and then proceeded to look around the castle.
The Interior of the castle was beautifully decorated unlike how it looked outside. The inside was painted red and grey.
The inside was just as u would expect of a castle except for a shelf that seemed like a trophy case with skulls as seemingly the trophys.
"Why did you do it" asked the first figure as he unsheathed a sword hung on hips and pointed it towards the figure on the throne and a huge pressure descended on the figure causing him and the throne to crack the ground underneath them.
Then the second figure stood up from his throne whilst saying "I did it cause it was necessary".
And then thousands of weapon consisting of swords, spears, halberds, and arrows seemingly forming from thin air appeared around the 2 and pointed towards the first figures direction.
"Go" and with a single word they all fired towards the first figure whilst the first figure summoned lightning and destroyed the castle.
BOOM
There were dust clouds and debris scattered everywhere. Even the houses and other structures nearby were not spared. Everything within a one mile radius was destroyed.
Out of the ten meter deep crater that was formed, the two figures emerged seemingly unscratched and unharmed by each other's attacks.
The first figure dashed towards his counterpart who summoned more weapons and sent it the first figure's way.
But the first figure nimbly dodged and slashed at the second figure but the second figure quickly summoned a sword in his hands and clashed with the first figure's sword.
The both of them were thrown back wards by a few meters because of the shockwave that occurred from their blades clashing.
And they almost immediately recovered from it and attacked each other again, creating more shockwaves as they did.
The ground started to shake, and the ten meter deep crater began to deepen even more. There were cracks all over the ground and all over the one mile wide crater.
The shockwaves from their fight was beginning to destroy the planet as each figure fought with more ferocity each second.
Even with the planet beginning to collapse around them, these two individuals continued their planet shaking battle.
