Power Built In Sorrow (Male Reader Insert)

Chapter 50

- The dungeon stands quiet. The prisoners' mouths all clamped shut, no one bothering to blurt something out. The arrival of the Godkiller, placed in one of the most guarded cells, was what caused this -

- The silent muttering of the near-crazed adventurer was agonizing for the prisoners, hearing the continuous utterance of feeding meat to something unknown without the power to stop it. It was slowly bringing them insane -

"Catch meat. Sacrifice meat. Appease The Entity." Your husk of a body muttered, sitting inside the cell, motionless.

- This might be the quietest the guards have experienced the dungeon in. It could have brought them peace, but the endless muttering and silence made them wish the prisoners were rioting just like before -

"Catch meat. Sacrifice meat. Appease The Entity..."

"Catch meat. Sacrifice meat. Appease The Entity..."

"Catch meat. Sacrifice meat. Appease The Entity..."

- Fear. Something you haven't felt for so long, basking in the power of the Entity. You ran, not caring how painful your feet were. The killers you used to snuff life out of others are now hunting yours -

"Hestia, give me guidance." You pray, kneeling. After your brief cry for help, you ran once more, stumbling through the forest until you arrived at the place you dreaded most.

"I'm back at... our farm." You mumble, feeling all the energy drained from you. The bushes behind you started to rustle.

- Without any other option, you gulped down all your fear and ran inside. You tried to open the door to the kitchen, but it was locked, every other door is, except for your room -

- You walk closer, opening the door slowly as it creaked. There was a hook inside, with Hestia hanging from it. Her shoulder, horribly impaled -

- You jumped inside, springing into action as you helped Hestia's unconscious form down the dreaded hook. The God slowly opened her eyes, but rather than trust and comfort, you saw fright in her eyes -

"Goddess, who did this to you!?" You asked, carefully raising her head so she could speak. She was weak, pain and exhaustion overcoming her.

"Y- You!" She whispered.

- In an instant, your hands move on their own, grabbing Hestia by the throat before brutally impaling her on the same hook you helped her down from -

"N-No! I would never do this! I... I would never..." You cried, falling on your knees as you watched the Entity itself lower its jagged appendages and consume Hestia through the fog.

"This is all you, your fault, your mistakes. You are my vessel. Everywhere you go, you wreak the havoc I possess." The Entity growled through the smoke.

"Your weakness has doomed your family before, and it will do so again." It laughed, its voice echoing as if a thousand souls were all mocking you.

"You have my power and all the pain and suffering that comes with it!" The Entity said.

- Your head started to ache, voices started screaming for help, 1... 2... 3... 4... how many have the Entity killed? How much pain will I have to bear to remove the sins I have committed? -

"Make it stop!" You screamed, hitting your head with your own fists as you crumpled into a fetal position.

"You want to make it stop? Then kill her!" The Entity continued, showing you images of your sister.
