Chereads / The Hanged Man Insanity / Chapter 2 - Grant my wish

Chapter 2 - Grant my wish

I look at the nothingness in front of me, there is nothing around me, there is nothing for me, there is just nothing.

"Then how are you? Why are you here? How are you here?" I look at the being in the nothingness of everything.

His eyes glow red, his mouth becomes more wider showing his white sharp teeth and then he said "many questions and not much time to answer, tell me what do you gave to get out of your own hell? Well you gave me your body or will you gave me your soul? What do you think do you worth?"

I could see my own reflection in the his eyes, it was full of malic, full of hate, full of death it's like I'm looking at myself in the other form.

"Tell me are you me? Will I be you? Or is there even a me anymore?"I stared at him or it he stared back at me.

We reamed silent for a moment until his smile can only described as horrifying, his mouth unhinged his eyes were popping out as a scream of millions were heard.

I could feel I'm dragging deep into nothingness, hands of millions come to drag me, to break my body, to stop me, to make me feel pain, to make me stop existing, I could see there faces, some had eye for a mouth some didn't have a face some were a horrified faces some had fingers growing on they face. It's horrifying ended.

I look at him his smile wide, his eyes goshing out, but I could only say one thing to it

"I gave myself. " The screaming became more unhinged as millions more drags me down to nothingness.

The last thing I see is that smile and eyes but that is what I get for what I do, what I did and what I well do because...

***

I wake up from my dream, looking around the unfamiliar room I can say it's a humble room with a desk, chair, mirror and bed. Nothing fancy at all. I walk to the mirror and in the reflection I see a face I never seen before, a being with long ear and dark skin with red eyes and long white hair... is this me? It looks like it.

But I don't remember ever being a dark elf or ever seeing this room, I was suppose to wake up in the hospital to start my life again... was my wish granted?

[System is activated]

I look at the floating red letters in front of me, and remembered, this is like many novels I've read over many loops. Was it reincarnation? Uh yeah it was reincarnation... yeah yeah it was...

"..."

"Hehehehe... Hahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ISN'T THIS FUCKING FUNNY?! WHAT A WISH! WHAT A REWARD! A REWARD?! THIS IS MY LIFE?! I CAN FEEL IT—I'M LOSING IT! WHERE IS SHE?! I DIDN'T WISH TO LEAVE HER! YOU FUCKERS, FUCKERS, FUCKERS! I'LL KILL YOU ALL, WHATEVER YOU ARE!"

***

It took me few minutes to get it together . I almost killed myself out of rage, I should control myself more but look at my smile! It's ear to ear. Just like me. Just like him. Just like us.

I shouldn't show my face like this, there is no mask around either, I guess I should just smile, no graining, remember it.

I know she must be here or at least there must be a way back to her, yeah I wouldn't be here if that wasn't the case.

My States are, interesting. So Loop is my ability here? Tsk. I hope she's here or I... let's just think Positive.

Is there no memory of this body? I want to know where really I am at least.

"System is there any memory inside this body?"

[Would you like to see them?]

"Yes, show me everything."
