Becoming an Oni in this land of illusion

Chapter 26

'two people in a room full of white lilies'

'Nyx that has an unbothered expression while Sofia has question marks written on her face '

"How?"

'Nyx tilts her head seemingly asking a question too'

"Can you explain what happened to you?"

'Nyx beckons Sofia to come closer '

'Sofia oblige and stepped close towards Nyx'

'Nyx motions Sofia to lend her ear'

'Sofia seemed skeptical but she relented at the end '

'Nyx suddenly grabs her and make their forehead touch each other '

-----

I still remember when they said life comes in a flash

They said you are dying when that happens and everything slows down

While my situation isn't death but it's like I'm watching a movie of some sort

But the movie is being played 1,024x the speed which is equivalent to the holy f**k I'm having an epilepsy

'Sofia suddenly falls back and twitch uncontrollably'

'while Nyx seemed tearing up while trying to help Sofia'

'when suddenly two people have arrived on the scene

'A light orange-haired girl and a blonde-haired girl '

"Kusa, Taiyo. Help me!"

"Seriously Nyx I know you are excited but you skipped too many steps so here we are"

'Taiyo chide Nyx while letting gold particles float near Sofia'

"I have to agree with Taiyo, Nyx. you are the reason why Sofia is now unconscious"

'Kusa is shaking her head while looking a bit disappointed at Nyx'

"Sorry..."

'Nyx said softly while the emotion of regret is deeply embedded in her tone '

-------

What's this feeling... I feel heavy like I'm always under pressure and just recently got out of it

My body won't respond to me... am I still alive?

Rain?

I felt drops of water hitting my face... I felt warmth despite the coldness that wrapped around me

I forcefully opened my eyes and I see Nyx's face has tears dripping onto them while she make me lean onto her arms

Thanks to her I've seen my alternate self caring for her being a responsible partner

I guess that's is the timeline where I escaped from Italy and live with Taiyo in Japan

It's full of sweet memory until the don fully kills me in front of her

She is dark, very dark and it's my death that it made her that way

Until a god chooses her to reincarnate to live to the fullest but in the end, she lost her emotions and revenge is the only thing that matters to her

She becomes alone as she tries her best to become strong and take revenge on the Don torturing him until he reverted into an empty vessel

"Thank you..."

I said my heartfelt thanks to her as she let my alternate self feel alive and normal human

And thank her for making me realize that my death is very impactful to her and I'm a hundred percent sure that Stella in my timeline suffered because of me
