《Decided not to Kill even if I die》Ch 5 : Who cares if an Ant dies?
Advertisement
WELP, how can someone be so happy after saving a butterfly!! Come-on, its not a pet dragon which you can tame and will help you grow stronger. This boy's actions don't make any sense but he looked as if he achieved a remarkable feat.
Well, whatever. At present, there is only 1 thing I am sure of. I M CURIOUS.
So, i decided to just follow this boy out of my instinct.
In my quest to stalk follow this boy, I uncovered many of his behavioral patterns. I can describe him as an absent-minded genius. He lives in his own world and is quite unaware of his surrounding. Even so, he keeps his sense active when it's about avoiding a potential injury to an animal.
Let's consider one of his behavioral pattern. The boy seems to be looking down while walking.
Why would someone do so? I was always taught that I should walk with a confident face looking forward. That's the way of knights and magicians. So, why is this boy looking down? Usually, someone who lacks self-confidence does this, atleast that's what I was taught.
That was my initial impression but I gradually dismissed it. Maybe its just a simple habit afterall.
But one day, when he was walking in the school corridor.
He suddenly stops. Takes a step back, changes his direction and takes a round trip to follow his previous path again.
Huh!! What just happened? I looked at the ground and there seems to be a colony of ants walking by there.
[Oh my Gosh!!] I exclaimed. This is the reason he walks facing the ground.
I was very puzzled by his actions. Having killed dozens of monsters, I cant relate to an act of saving a life. And that too of an insect. Or at-least that was supposed to happen, but, but ... I had a smile on my face.

I didn't even realize that I was smiling until I touched my face in a sense of amazement at the boy's actions. Only when my palms touched my lips, I realized. I realized that I care too. At least, I would like to care.
The thought that he is looking down just to avoid injuring ants on accident never crossed my mind. I am amazed. This boy is crazy and soon enough I turned into one.
This day marked a turning point in my life. This crazy boy turned my life around. But at this point I was not aware this boy was me myself. Neither did I knew that I will change my home world. Bcz as far as I knew, I was already dead.

Blackened Blood[Progression Fantasy]
Broken and lost by the dredges of this world a boy awakens once again into life's game within hallowed black halls, his first taste of new life cold and hunger along with the echoing drip of temptation. Deep sickness festering within in him. Given a second chance by either coincidence or something more sinister, follow the story of he who bleeds black. Betrayal, greed and blood littered in droves across this hellbound path. ********** 2000+ words daily for now, will reduce to thrice a week after the writathon. If it wasn't clear, this is a vampire story taking place in a high fantasy environment. Although while its main character is a vampire and that is one main focus of the story it will also lend itself to the magic side of this world as well. Basically, if you're interested in vampires or magic heavy stories, this will have something for you... probably. The synopsis is kinda vague but If you give it a shot, I think you'll like it. Also, feel free to drop any sort of constructive criticism since this is one of my first experiences writing in first person.Forgot to add that the story will be a little less action-orientated until around chapter 20+ when... well... read and see :) Any chapters with the * next to them have been edited or tweaked. I'll remove it once all of them are.
