《Bloody Wonderland》Act 3-5 A Tragedy Heroine
Advertisement
“Ohh......? Alice?”
exclaimed the naked figure, that is covering in green blood.
she was confused.
since in the end, she saw Light kill her right before her eyes.
“H-how can you still be alive....? and how come you have all of your limbs back together..........?”
in the end, she didn’t know Wolf’s ability.
or...who he was.
but she soon came to the conclusion that she’s a copy sent to kill her by the White Rabbit.
in the end, she is under the illusion that the white rabbit is responsible for everything.
she directed all of her hatred and disappointment and regret toward a figure she hasn’t even seen before, and only have heard of him once.
for the past six months, all she’s been doing was following that figure.
that shadow.
and every time she comes with a clue, she follows it.
and every time, a talking doll comes up and tries to kill them.
even though the ‘White Rabbit’ is supposed to be the absolute existence that gave them all of their powers, and had them stuck in this place, all he ever done was try to kill them with petty, flashy tricks.
she soon came to the thought that they were both in equal groundings.
they were both....equals.
she became arrogant.
she became full of herself.
she thought that she finally became.......a hero.
she didn’t care about justice at all, nor did she think about the people.
she simply wanted to destroy her hatred.
she simply wanted to destroy that which took her away from Light.
she simply wanted to be together with Wolf and Light.
but the next line Alice said snapped her to reality.
“So, you’re not going to drop the act?”
asked the blond beauty with her eyes wide open.
she had a bright smile on, but it was frozen.
Shiho--Cheshire felt she was being sucked into them.
“W-what do you mean?”
The moment Cheshire said that, the beauty’s frozen smile suddenly dropped.
and from it, emerged one out of pure enjoyment.
“You think They still haven’t noticed? i mean, how come you’re the only one without abilities in this closed space, only for the sake of ability users? you, yourself should have noticed it from the beginning. i mean, its not like every ability user here had to learn it from someone. every single one of them somehow noticed it. some may have had it go berserk on him, while others had the sudden thought that they had this ability upon transferring here.”
cold sweat broke out from Cheshire she quickly jumped toward the man covered in white and shouted “Melt it!”
the man took off both of his gloves, and touch the ground.
at that moment, Alice quickly jumped from the ground, still smiling.
she knew what lied here after all.
because the eastern part of the school, the part that held the fields were a no fight grounds.

all students agreed to not fight in this place.
yet, there were a couple of students here.
as for why all the students agreed not to fight here, is because this is the graveyard of the school.
they can’t really make all of the bodies here rot, right?
this is something that Light didn’t know.
no, its more like he didn’t care.
as soon as the man turned the whole field to ash, he quickly returned his gloves back on.
as soon as the jump lost its power, the gravity pulled Alice like any other subject in earth.
she felt that she would most likely drown in the sea of ashes, but she didn’t need to breath at all.
I’m an undead after all.
thought Alice.
but to her surprise, she didn’t sink at all.
“Hee...so he just turned the heavy crust to ash?”
exclaimed Alice in surprise.
but Cheshire didn’t listen at all.
she began to mumble something, but Alice who had super hearing could catch everything she said.
“
the earth then trembled.
“Hahahaha! i can totally see through you~! as soon as i noticed who you were, i knew exactly why you were here waiting~!”
shouted Alice in excitement.
but her words fell on deaf ears, since Cheshire was too focused on chanting.
“-Σηκώστε!>>”
the instant she finished chanting, hundreds of corpses rose.
“Oho? so instead of having them have a hard time breaking through the ground, you turned it to ash?”
said Alice unfazed by the scene unfolding.
“But y’know...these tricks won't work on me?”
As soon as she said that, she took out a staff from god knows where.
with a hint of disappointment, she waved the weird staff.
because of its unmatched colors, the four small jewels on top of the staff were blue, unlike the huge one stationed in the center.
it looked about four times the size of the small jewel, while having the color of blood.
perhaps she looked on disappointingly, because the blood of the undead is green.
shrugging it off, she began her chanting while the undead drew closer.
as they drew closer, so did the speed of her chanting went faster.
with the undead few steps close to Alice, she finished her chanting with “-ΠΑΓΏΣΕΙ ΤΟΝ ΚΟΣΜΟ!>>”
at that instant, everything turned to ice.
with all the undead frozen, look on Cheshire.
she has seen this skill before, but never imagined it was this powerful.
since everything before her was turned to ice.
although she, herself wasn’t, thanks to her companion.
she soon bore a smile and said “Really, you’re amazing...Hatter.”
Alice, who heard Cheshire’s muttering and soon disappeared.
“Ohh! there it is!! your refusal to call Master by his name! this, yet again, is proof of your acting~”
the voice exclaimed clearly.
although Cheshire didn’t exactly know where, because the voice was coming from every direction.
you could hear it from the front, left, right and back.

it literally came from everywhere.
“W-woaaah?!”
the man besides her suddenly screamed in surprise.
Cheshire look at her companion, only to find half of his body turned to ice.
“Tsk! Mida, i’m sorry to say this, but i’m having you return to your true form!”
as soon as she said that, she shouted the magic words.
“>”
the man...turned to a sword.
with no clouds of smoke, sound or light, he just simply turned to a sword.
the only thing notable about that sword was that it was filled with Greek inscriptions and that the bottom of the hilt was turned to ice.
“You really do plan on playing the tragedy heroine in every situation, no? because i really doubt someone who loves having sex as much as you to actually be depressed from having it. you think they didn’t see you having sex when they save you? i was watching y’know~! you were all smiles! but as soon as you heard voices, you suddenly switched to a depressing expression. was it out of embarrassment? that’s what Light first thought--”
“AHH!!! SHUT UP!!”
Cheshire began swinging the sword mindlessly.
in the end, her target was no where to be seen.
“--how rude! so as i was saying, he first thought it was out of embarrassment, so he brought you the body of the one who was behind everything. he thought you’d have a look of disappointment or happiness. i mean, isn’t those the most normal reactions when someone was in such a place? you’d either have a boiling wrath or super disappointment. he thought to see which one you’d have, would you be angered and kill the man, or perhaps disappointed at his end. but to his surprise, you were worried about the fact that you didn’t have any abilities! isn’t that weird in that situation? i mean, you should have realized all along that you had abilities, yet you were worried about them In front of the body of the one who turned your life to a sexslave. this really did come as a surprise! but then after a few moments of thinking, he came to the idea that you’re mentally unstable. he came to the fact that perhaps after all what has been done to you, you simple ‘broke’.”
with that, Cheshire was gasping for breath.
she wasn’t tired at all, physically at least.
but, her mental strain was nothing to laugh at.
in order to shut up the one who was supposed to be dead, she shouted the words “>”
she thought that now she’s dead, a few burns wont do much.
the whole field of ash went up in flames.
Cheshire cover the sword with her body, making sure to not come in contact with its blade.
but soon enough, even the fire was frozen.
“Y’know, i wont’ die that easily!”
Cheshire grasped in surprise.
she worked her brain to the limit, on a way to kill Alice.
but the sweet voice never stopped, it continued to haunt her.
“So as to make sure of his theory, Wolf faked his own death! now then, when he died, what exactly did you do? you went to find who did it! you had this letter, the letter you should have given to Light. but exactly why did you go find who did it, even though Light was already working on it? why did you not at least think about giving it to Light, and work on it together? i bet you wanted to play damsel in distress! you want your knight in shinning armor to come to your rescue! but to your disappointment, i turned up. i gave you the hint that ‘The White Rabbit is responsible for everything’. do you even believe someone you just met? logically, you’ll suspect that I was the killer, so why did you follow me and believe me? you just wanted a powerful existence to fill the role of ‘the demon lord’! since having a powerful hero and a weak demon overlord is not exciting at all! but then, Wolf turned out to be alive. your whole scenario just went up in flames! the cursed revenge, the knight in shinning armor comes to help the tragedy heroine that is blinded by revenge. IT ALL WENT UP IN FLAMES! but then, something unexpected happened. i turned out to be Master’s enemy.”
with a moment of silence, Cheshire continued to rack her brain for a way to shut the sweet voice.
no, to kill it.
she then rested her blade in the ground, deciding to turn everything to ashes.
but her plan soon failed, because every time she turned something to ashes, ice filled its place.
she turned the ice to ash, and then ice took its place yet again.
the cycle never ended, all that was left was more ash.
“Now then. the person that you were for a couple of days was being tortured before your eyes and soon killed. y’know what was your action? you slapped Master and wished for the kind self--that never existed-- to be brought back. with that, you thought Master would come save you the moment you fell in the hands of your demon lord, right? you disappeared, which normally would keep you in the thoughts of others. you really do have a talent at acting like a tragedy heroine! but, no matter how much you looked....you never found your so called demon lord.”
fed up with what’s being said, Cheshire quickly exclaimed “I have! i’ve seen his dolls!!”
but the shocking truth was revealed to her.
the voice’s owner suddenly appeared directly facing Cheshire.
she had a smile, baring resemblance to that of Light’s.
she stared down Cheshire with her very dark eyes.
“In the end, even those dolls were planted by me and Wolf.”
with that, Cheshire fell down to her feet, and her tears fell down on nothing but ashes.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
