《Re:Immortal》10. A thought in a broken mind
Advertisement
Hey child! Would you want to come with me? Why are you here? You shouldn’t stay in a place like this… Why are you naked? Do you understand me? Do you need help? Come, cover yourself with this. You should warm yourself.
For how long were you walking?
It’s itchy. Ahh…. My hands. My hands are itchy.
Heh… My hands are itchy. If a worm could scratch them… Oh… I can feel them… Worms, they are everywhere… Inside of me…
Heh… Heheh...
Come child. Cover yourself. It’s cold outside, you should warm yourself. We will give you something to eat. Are you hungry? It doesn’t matter. You should eat.
You look skinny. Your eyes are hollow. Were you scared? There is no reason to be scared.
Breathe… I need to breathe!
Or do I? Where am I? Why is it so dark? I can’t move my legs… Could someone help me? I can’t move.
An old man burned a child. Have you seen it? Why did he do that? I can’t understand old people. Old generation is weird… Maybe the child deserved it? I don’t know. I didn’t see it. I wasn’t there.
Hey! Someone!? Help me! I can’t move my leg!
Be a good child… Be a good child! Don’t move! Don’t move! Stay! Good… Good dog.
Where am I?
An old man burned a child. Have you seen it? I have seen him. I was there. I saw the look on his face. They will bury him alive, and the day will end.
Don’t touch the boy! He is a demon! Just… Let him burn.
An old man burned a child… I will grant him death. Slay his wife, and burn his flesh. Have you seen it? I was there. I was burning, while they looked at my face.

Where am I?
I can’t move! Someone! Please! Help me! I can’t breathe! Please! My legs! I can’t feel my legs!
No one cries, when demon dies.
When you kill a pig, you need to cut its throat. One cut, but be precise. You don’t want the animal to suffer. I don’t hit it with a hammer, but others do… It can help, but when you miss, the animal will get scared. We can’t let it happen, do you understand?
Take the knife. Take it! Listen to me. Do you see this place? Cut here. Just take the knife, and cut. Do I need to show you?! Give me that!
Make me proud boy. It’s like… It’s like having a son again. Who knows, maybe Yuna has given me another chance? A chance to make things right this time. I’m talking nonsense. Just ignore me Adam. Just ignore everything, you should go to sleep.
Look, it’s late, isn’t it? It’s like I have a son again. It’s like having son again Adam. Are you my son Adam?
We are family now. We will be family forever. Do you like the girl Adam? You don’t know what I’m talking about? Anna… I’m talking about Anna. I see you two often playing with each other.
Who knows, maybe you will marry her… Heh, there is no reason to get red. Come, we should return to the house.
It never happened. What I’m thinking about? It never happened…
Where am I?
The cycle… You can’t break the cycle… We are all lost. He will come for us. The lord of darkness is coming, with his legions he is marching, and no one is ready.
Only I am ready…
The ground…
I felt that the ground above me was moving. My mind returned to me in an instant, as I tried to move my fingers. Once again I felt the pain… My ribs getting broken, and the numbness of my hands. I felt the tears in my eyes, as I realized…
I realized that someone was digging me out.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).
