Chapter 2 - The Beginning

As I heard blood splatters, I realized I was sliced in half.

I woke up, but in the grasslands now. I desperately run as I hear daggers being thrown, probably towards me. I look at a person that seems to be male.

Yakame: [Why the fuck is he attacking me?!]

As I dodge the mysterious person's relentless attacks. I pick up a dagger and thrown it at him. But he dodged it and kills me by using explosives.

I woke up in the same location on the grasslands I was before I ran and died.

At the moment I'm in my breaking point. I started crying and crawled into a ball.

Yakame: [WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY...]

As I continue to think why is this happening to me. He kills me.

I died and started over. It was hell. I was scared, I keep saying when will I die, over and again.

I stopped crying after 20 deaths and became serious. I started examining and memorizing his attack patterns after 25 deaths.

Yakame: [I died 34 times already...]

I dodge every attacks, I picked up a dagger and throws it at him. He seems surprised by my movements. As he dodges it I throw another one but in a different that angle, making him have no time to dodge, piercing his stomach.

I was happy, but It seems I can feel emotions not express them.

I sigh as he I towards him.

???: "How-"

I cut him off as I throw a dagger onto the ground, almost hitting his neck, I look at him with empty eyes.

Yakame: "Let's get straight to the point, why did you attacked me, who are you working with, and who sent you."

He smirks as he laughs.

???: "Do you really think I will answer you? I rather di-"

I cut him off by slicing both of his legs, making him scream in pain.

I sighs as I look at in the eyes.

Yakame: "Answers only."

I said as he continues to scream in pain.

???: "Okay, okay! Just please don't kill me!"

I stayed silent, waiting for him to answer my questions.

???: "I'm Leo! Leo Vandstez. I was apart of the Border Control Scout, also called as BCS in short."

Yakame: "BCS?"

Yakame: [So there's a border, it must be the thing that's making the creature unable to enter.]

Leo: "Yeah! The Control group served the Kingdom Hanaroshi, I was patrolling the border and saw you and mistaken you as an intruder!"

Yakame: "What's the location of the kingdom?"

Leo: "In the west! But there's gonna be ocean there where the Leviathan, called The Living Void, it lives in the deepest part of the ocean and can swim fast, and I mean fast! That's why it's called the living void."

I sighed as he throw him out of the border.

Yakame: [I guess I don't need you now.]

Leo: "Wait, why are did you-"

Before he can finish his sentence, he was Decapitated by the creature. I pull him inside the border and started taking his item.

Yakame: [I don't care how inhumane that is he killed 34 times, my humanity was taken away from me, but good thing I can still feel my emotions.]

Yakame: "Daggers, a black cloak, a... potion? I don't know what kind? But food, water."

After I finished taking the body's stuff, I go travel to the west, still not letting my guard down.

I saw a lake, and I sighed.

Yakame: [Let's rest here for now.]

As I sat down and started drinking water that I've collected from the dead body, I saw that a cave is opening? No, it's a dungeon that looks like a cave.

Yakame: [I better avoid going there.]

As I think about my life choices while eating food. A leviathan suddenly eats me whole.

Yakame: [Shit.]

As I groan, I realized that it doesn't have teeth so it's trying to drown me to be able to digest me.

Yakame: "I need to think fast!"

I used a dagger to pierce the throat of the leviathan.

Yakame: [How does A leviathan even live in a lake?!]

As the leviathan roars in pain, moves and I fall deeper into its throat. I use a dagger to pierce a hole into the throat to get out.

Once I left the throat, I saw that I was in a ocean that is atleast as deep as the Mariana Trench. I realized that this isn't a lake but an ocean.

Yakame: [I guess I was so tired that I started to hallucinate, and mistaken the ocean where the void eater lives as a lake.]

As I lost focused about the leviathan, it tries to swallow me whole.

But I quickly reacted in time to dodge it, but I looked into my right arm and it was gone. The leviathan had eaten my arm!

As I was shocked and in pain, but I quickly tried to endure the pain and focused on killing the void eater. It wasn't the first time that arm was severed, but I can still feel the pain. But before I could react, something killed me.
