《Pandemonium of a Lazy Soul》Episode 50- Blood Fest
Advertisement
The butcher took a step forward, as everyone ran away from the spot they were standing on. They would rather be spread out, so they could last as long as possible while the butcher took his time to kill the person he was targeting. His helmet had a visor to stop people from piercing his eye, but that didn't stop us from seeing his eyes moving around as he chose his first victim.
The butcher walked towards one of the old man who was hiding in the farthest reach of the arena. The old man tried to run away but the butcher kept following him ignoring every single person who came in his way.
He soon caught up with the old man. He swung his giant cleaver in front of the old man to stop him from running forward. The old man wailed and begged, but the butcher ignored him as held him on the floor and took his giant knife chopped at his head. His head rolled through the ground as fountain of blood sprung from his neck.
I was shocked. This was not a challenge for him, but more of an activity he did to showcase his strength before the main match. My hand started trembling in fear, as he slowly turned around to pick his next pray. He looked at the timer to only notice that only 30 seconds has passed.
Slowly he turned around, my heart crept up to my throat as he looked toward me.
I didn't know what to do. How am I supposed to defeat such a monstrosity? Wait defeat? I don't have to defeat him. I just have to survive for 10 minutes. But how? Although the arena was massive, each step the butcher took covered about 10 steps of ours. It was impossible to outrun him.
Suddenly his gaze went past me as he looked at the person beside me. A tall slim women in her 30's. He seemed to have chosen her as he walked towards her. She started running away knowing she was the next person, while screaming. I kept on trembling in pure terror, as he went past me ignoring me like I was some fly, although I felt a slight relief that I survived.
He soon caught her, and started twisting her body with his bare hand, while she kept screaming for help and pleading for him to show mercy. Soon the upper half of her body was separated from the lower half. He threw both her separated body part to the ground. Her intestines were the only organs linking her separated body. The terrifying fact was that she was still alive as she kept shouting for someone to save her and help her.

I retched and vomited and the spot seeing the gruesome scene. I wanted to keep on vomiting the disgusting scene, but I felt like there was nothing left to come out.
The butcher ignored her as he looked for his next victim while the crowd kept cheering. There was still 9 minutes left. He only took 30 seconds for each kill, and each kill he did was at a leisure pace. There was about 30 people here, that means if he kept him his kill rate only 10 of us would survive. But what was the chance that I would be survive and not be chosen as his next victim.
The failure of this mission was death. I had no power; therefore, I didn't consider revenge. But now I have a chance at revenge. I remembered those bastards who raped my mum, and Phil and Ava who were the reason behind all of mum's misery. I needed to survive to get the power the whispers promised me. I didn't want to die, when I just got a chance to get revenge.
I laughed at the irony of fate. 10 minutes ago, I wanted to die and had no will. But now I wanted to live no matter what.
The butcher suddenly turned around to pick his next target. I prayed to whoever that was listening to me for it to not be me. It seemed that my prayer was heard as he went after a kid. The kid was screaming and crying for his mum as he ran. The butcher took him up as he slowly pulled out his arms from his body along with his legs, one by one. He left the kid on the floor waiting for him to die. The butcher didn't need to make sure the kid died, as soon the kid would have died of blood lose.
The butcher slowly picked person by person until there was only 5 minutes left. My guts told me that my luck had ran out as he slowly stood up from torturing a young girl.
But I had no idea how to escape from him let alone kill him like the mission stated. I slowly felt his line of sight resting on me. Seeing me not run he slowly walked towards me.

How am I supposed to run away from him? There was no way to even outrun him. As he was only 50 meters away from me I started slowly trembling in fear. I was thinking of to use anything to survive. I cursed my self for not thinking this while he was killing the other people and I was watching him in fear.
As I lost all hope when he was 40 meters away, I suddenly remembered my conversation with the whispers. 'What will you give in return for power?' To that question I had said 'EVERYTHING'.
I didn't want to do this as my humanity in me wouldn't let me do it, but this was the only way. I had to give up my humanity right now to get the power I need to survive. I have to give up all my compassion, kindness and any form of humanity in me, just so I can survive.
I suddenly turned around and ran towards one of the barely surviving women who was split in half earlier. She was wheezing quietly, while her eyes accepted the fact she was going to die soon, while her organs were laid out on the floor.
I was disgusted with what I was about to do, but my mind was clouded with only thought of how to survive. I took what seemed to be lungs partially visible through her torn upper body. I shouted out "I am so sorry, forgive me. I have to do this." I cried while I took 1 of her lungs out. The already dying women screamed in even more pain as she finally embraced death. The butcher stood still for a moment, along with the audience and the rest of them looked in shock at what I was doing.
I felt like beating myself up for torturing an already dying person and desecrating their body just so I can survive. I have become the lowest of lowest, but I knew it was no time to think about it.
I pierced the lungs in several area and threw it to the butchers face. No one understood what I was doing, while I did the same with the second lungs. But soon the crowds started cheering seeing the blood fest, although they had no idea.
However soon the butcher realised what I was doing as he started running to me. It was too late for him as I finally got the heart out of her body and pierced it and threw it to his face, and I moved out of his way. His visor which was covered with blood stopped him from seeing anything. Realising I wasn't there he wiped the blood out of his visor to see where I was.
He spotted me, but it was too late as I was already near another body holding another organ, and I threw it. Again, blood and guts was covering his visor. He wiped it and charged towards me. I threw another lung at him, but he dodged it, however unexpectedly for him I had another organ already prepared in my hand as I threw it at him. He couldn't dodge it as it covered his visor again. Using the time, he took to wipe his visor with his hand I moved further away, towards another body.
Seeing what I was planning to do, he took of his helmet. What faced me was someone with their lips stitched together while his nose was missing. I was surprised by how he was still able to breathe.
His face was enraged. He would have roared if his lips weren't stitched together.
I checked the timer to see there was still 3 minutes and 30 seconds left. I cursed for time moving so slowly.
Now throwing organs to cover his sight won't work. I had to find another way to survive for 3 minutes. I am sure if he caught me he will inflict me with the worst pain possible, before killing me.

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
