Eight Ball

BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHTY ANCIENT FLUFF BALL? wow that name sucks

Suddenly, the yard around me seemed to fade, the sunlight dimming. In its place, a suffocating darkness closed in, the sound of chains rattling in the still air. Cold metal bit into my wrists, and I could feel the damp stone floor beneath me. I was back there again. The smell of damp stone and iron filled my lungs, the faint drip of water echoing in the distance. The darkness seemed to press in from all sides, suffocating, unrelenting. My body ached—each bone, each muscle screaming in silent protest—but the worst pain wasn't physical. It was the crushing weight of betrayal. "Still alive, little brother?" Jun Shen's voice slithered through the darkness, sickly sweet, as if we were merely playing some twisted game. Maybe it was, maybe that's what I am to him, a play toy."How resilient of you. But tell me, how long do you think that will last?" His footsteps echoed, slow and deliberate, and my breath caught in my throat. The chains that bound my wrists trembled as I shifted, trying in vain to lift my head. I couldn't see him, but I could feel him—his presence a dark, looming shadow that filled the place, leaving no room for hope. "You've always been the weak one, Xuan Jie," he said, squatting down so his face was level with mine. I could feel his breath against my ear, his voice dripping with mockery. "A disgrace to the family name. You can't even protect yourself, much less live up to our father's legacy." I clenched my fists, though the chains barely allowed movement. I wanted to fight back, to scream at him, but my body refused to obey. I was too weak, too fucking weak to fight ."bloody hell" I cursed weakly.The ache in my limbs was nothing compared to the cold that had settled in my heart—the realization that the person I had looked up to, the brother I had admired, had betrayed me in the cruelest way imaginable. "I trusted you," I whispered, my voice barely more than a rasp. The words felt fragile, like they would shatter under the weight of his disdain. I hated myself for falling so low, for being so weak, so stupid to the point I trusted to devil himself. Jun Shen chuckled, a sound that sent a chill down my spine. "Trust? How naive you are, little brother. Trust is a weakness. It blinds you, makes you soft. That's why you've always been a disappointment to Father. You're too weak to survive in this world." I knew it wasn't a lie, I let father down so many times but he still cared and protected me leading him to his own demise . His words were like daggers, each one aimed with precision at the parts of me that still tried to hope. My vision blurred, and I couldn't tell if it was from the pain or from the tears I refused to let fall. Jun Shen rose, his silhouette towering over me. "Look at you now. Pathetic." His voice turned cold, the mockery replaced by something darker, more dangerous. "You should have known better than to think I'd ever see you as my equal. You're nothing but a stain on this family's honor." I felt the weight of his boot pressing down on my chest, pinning me to the floor. My body screamed in agony, but the pain was drowned out by the anger that roared to life within me. My brother—my blood—had reduced me to this. I had trusted him, and he had taken everything from me. "You..." My voice cracked, barely audible, but the fury behind it was real. "You'll regret this." Jun Shen's grip tightened around the chains that bound me, and he yanked them hard, sending fresh waves of pain coursing through my body. His smile never wavered. "Oh, little brother," he said softly, his voice dripping with mock affection. "The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner." For a moment, all I could feel was the crushing weight of his betrayal, the cold bite of the chains, the suffocating darkness of the cell. But somewhere, deep beneath the pain, something else stirred—something fierce, something unbreakable. A spark. The memory shattered, leaving me gasping for breath,

Extra: Veil of the Unwritten Worlds

Betwixt virtue and vice, the line is but a thread, where madness oft doth walk in shadows cast by reason. ========== -I won! I closed my eyes and held on to the small victory that I had. My vision blurred, and strength seeped out from my body. Slowly, but surely life seemed to ebb out, leaving me motionless. Suddenly I felt a golden light shimmering from outside. I tried opening my eyes, the hue seemed to sense this becoming even brighter. A warmth surrounded my whole body and took me in its soothing embrace. I felt at peace, a feeling that I never experienced. Suddenly this feeling disappeared. -Ding! Who is ringing the bell in this place? Lethargically, I opened my eyes to scan my surroundings, only to find myself unfamiliar surroundings. I moved my eyes throughout the room, and soon a mirror gained my attention, behind it was a young man, with pale skin and dark circles under his eyes. -Ding! A screen appeared in front of me. Confusion filled my mind with endless questions. It turned out, that I was transmigrated in the novel "Legends of Thaloria " not as the main character, neither a side-character nor as an over-bearing villain but as an Extra that is not even mentioned in it. -Argh!! Fate being a wretched b***h, played against me. But hey with my knowledge of novel, I can have an easy life right??.... Until I remembered the ending of the novel The world is destined for Doom!!.... Soon I came to realize that the novel and the world I had transmigrated to were not be similar as I thought. ========== *Disclaimer: Message to Passengers(Readers) to please place their seatbelts because our journey will face various cliffhanger storms, Rain of Emotions, and Scorching hardships.
