It was pitch darkness filled with voices.

  "KILL HIM " " KILL HIM "

  Suddenly the mask ripped over my face and I found myself on a stage .

  People were screaming, shouting at my executioners to end me. .

  " Choose your last words wisely " one of them said.

  "My crime is having something extraordinary ....

  And having the courage to use it for good

  And I accept it. "

  And suddenly I saw everyone from the floor and i noticed my head got severed.

  The last person i saw among the crowd was my son staring at me in disbelief .

  His eyes opened .

  "I'm sorry "

  the man choked out with tears dropping down his face, his voice trembling as he held his mother's neck tightly.

  In her crimson coloured eyes due to pain , he saw himself strangling her .

  With a gasp of air , he opened his eyes lying on the bed and found a gun cocked at his mouth.

  The gun fired .

  While Screaming he opened his eyes and found himself falling from sky .

  He looked above in sky and a man slit his throat .

  His eyes opened and his fist collided with the fist of a monster .

  Another monster tore him apart from behind .

  Screaming his lungs out ,he opened his eyes and he was burning . His whole body was burning and he was running left and right for help but all he could see were crows . They were everywhere.

  And suddenly it got hard for him to breath and he was drowning in water.

  His eyes opened and his finger got ripped out of his hand ,screaming in pain he found himself tied to a chair and a person in front of him was holding his finger .

  "FUCK YOU " he screamed as his head got blown .

  His eyes opened .

  Where am I ?

  " You abandoned me ,

  You abandoned your people ,

  You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

  You abandoned your best friend ,

  You abandoned your team

  For what ?

  For living in this shit hole ?

  TELL ME , WHAT DO YOU WANT " Clive screamed .

  "Wait , is he my son? " I wondered as I saw him .

  Suddenly I took a step and fell to the ground . I was standing on a giant arm coming from the sky .

  Behind me, the king’s voice cut through the air, cold and mocking. “Don’t have such salty feelings.”

  A chill ran down my spine as every eye in the place turned toward me. I rose slowly, breaking the oppressive silence.

  “HELL’S SOLDIER,” I said, and with that, a swirling beam of energy crashed down upon me. I felt the surge of power ignite inside as I transformed into my true form—the soldier I was always.

  The energy’s release was devastating. Four unfortunate souls who hadn’t transformed fell lifeless, and those who had were left burned and broken.

  In the crowd, I caught Clive’s gaze. His eyes locked onto Mark’s burned, battered face.

  I saw the weight of the blame in Mark’s stare—it was as though he held Clive responsible for bringing them here.

  The king’s boastful voice filled the air. “He may not be sane now, but even in this weakened state, he remains the strongest to ever exist.”

  Clive called out to his allies, “James, buff me with every spell. Everyone else, support me.”

  Then, like a storm breaking loose, Clive’s fist slammed into mine. “I will fucking kill you, KING ARTHUR.”

  Our fists collided again and again. The air crackled with each furious blow.

  The king’s mocking question cut through the chaos, “You’re using all your energy just to hold yourself alive while fighting. Can you win without your abilities?”

  I felt the cruel snap of Clive’s wrist , the sharp crack echoing painfully. Before he could cry out, with a shove of my hand, I shattered his teeth.

  A fist made of stone crashed toward me, but it shattered on impact—I stood unbroken.

  Lowering my center of gravity, I drove my fist hard into Clive’s stomach. The force sent him flying, crashing through one wall after another until he finally collapsed against the thirty-first.

  He stirred, panting, and I raised my fist—now glowing a furious red—with everything I had left. A terrible power gathered.

  James screamed, giving it his all, “THIS BUFF WILL COST MY LIFE, SO MAKE IT FUCKING WORTH IT.”

  Clutching his broken ribs, Clive charged through the fractured ground, our fists clashing fiercely. Even broken, he fought with reckless desperation.

  Suddenly, I grabbed him, lifting us into the sky. My fist burned bright as I prepared my final strike.

  “RAGING FIST!” I yelled.

  My blow shattered through five hundred of Marie’s barriers without hesitation which she put right at the spot .

  Clive lay on the ground in less than a second, half of his upper body gone.

  Lying there, he must have wondered why I was so strong.

  Then came Marie’s head, rolling to a stop before him.

  I crushed his head beneath my boot with a heavy thud.

  That was the end.

  And in that moment, there was only silence.

  I killed him .

  The next moment I was once again in the pitch darkness.

  Not a single thing around . Just pitch darkness .

  My eyes opened once again and I saw him . I saw my son once again standing in front of me .

  And suddenly I was holding my son's torn arm which tried to attack the king.

  No , i didn't want to , I didn't mean to .

  " Dad , I think i understand a bit " the son said instead of crying in pain.

  I looked at him with blood lust . Even though I wanted to look at him with love but it wasn't possible .

  " I think you and king are in some kind of pact under which you have to follow him no matter what "

  And I made those his last words.

  Once again I was in pitch darkness .

  My eyes opened and I saw my son's blade at my neck .

  Deflecting it , I punched his face sending him flying .

  Suddenly his blade came at me and I dodged it .

  I saw him running towards me . For a second I thought my 9 years old son was coming to hug me .

  But his hands wrapped around to slam me on ground .

  And I kicked him while lying on ground and tore his neck out .

  Once again I was in pitch darkness and this time when my eyes opened his fists were hitting me like truck.

  We fought for 2 minutes and I killed him .

  That's when I realised I am in hell .

  And once again I was in pitch darkness which got lifted only to kill

  KILL KILL KILL . BLOOD WAS SPILLING EVERYWHERE .

  THUD THUD THUD. SOUND OF BONES SHATTERING EVERYWHERE .

  KILL KILL KILL SCREAMS ECHOING EVERYWHERE .

  DON'T DON'T DON'T LOOK AT WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU .

  TRY TRY TRY TRY TO THINK OF SONETHING DIFFERENT

  OH - MY - GOD KEEP ME FROM GOING LUNATIC.

  killed killed killed killed killed . I killed him.

  I have killed him over 2 million times .

  I can't remember anything before the loop .

  And suddenly it was pitch darkness.

  when I opened my eyes ,I saw ..

  Wait ...

  who is in front of me ?

  I know him .

  I have only seen and fought him my entire life but who is he to me ?

  And why are we fighting?

  And after killing him around 10000 more times i remembered .

  I remembered he is my son when he cried out "father , please help me " .

  And I killed him.

  I fucking ripped his throat out , his blood splattered all of over me .

  Everything turned red because of his blood .

  Suddenly it got harder for me to breathe .

  While gasping for air I fell on my knees and saw a pair of shoes .

  The shoes which were my friend's stomped on me .

  " Your work is done , go back " the king muttered .

  And I was again in pitch darkness.

  Something broke me this time . This time I was feeling sad , this time I wanted to die .

  "Hello God ...

  Uh can I ask for a favor...

  I know you loved playing with me for the past few years ..

  But can we not do that for a few days ?

  Can you let me rest for a few days ? I promise I will not run away but I don't think I can hold on any longer ."

  As the tears fell down my face , a broken laugh escaped my lip

  s

  " I was just joking ...

  you knew that too, didn't you ?"

  And once again the darkness around me vanished.

  But this to time was different. Maybe god listened to me .

  my love , my wife was standing in front of me .
