(A/N: A VERY important announcement at the end of this...chapter? half chapter? whatever you want to call it. sorry for making it shorter than usual)
(POV:???)
Hmm... it would seem as though I've been taking too much time. I thought to myself.
It wasn't too much of a big deal. The longer I waited the more potent the effect, but it would seem as though I was put on a timer. I had underestimated "that" and so it did something it shouldn't have. But now that I was put on a clock before they gain control I would be forced to move things along. Which wasn't the worst thing to happen, but it was mildly infuriating that they were able to force my hand in this way.
No matter...I guess I should finally begin to move things along. I think...
"Heh."
A wide smile twists itself onto my face as a clear image of what's to come appears in my mind.
The smell of blood and the screams of those above. Burning buildings and bloodied roads.
A calamity in every sense of the word. And once that occurred I could regain my form and gain the ability to become whole once more. It was just a matter of time.
Now then. Time to unleash my masterpiece. Let's see how you plan on dealing with this...
(POV: 3rd person)
A purple field of a plant resembling grass spread endlessly in all directions. A mysterious light that resembled the moon rained down from above. Normally it gave off a nice glow, but today the light felt particularly harsh.
But this wasn't the moon... And this wasn't grass...As all of this was deep underground... within the unknown unreached farthest parts of the dungeon.
So of course this wasn't the real sky. And of course, this "grass" wouldn't be real.
"..."
A lone figure stood within this field blank-faced staring down at something...
No, it wasn't quite blank. A trace of shock was evident if you stared into the expression close enough. Mouth slightly agape as it stared and eyes trembling as if trying to process the information in front of it. It was a stare of disbelief... eyes that had once glowed grew cold as they stared at this indescribable thing, and the dungeon, a breeding ground for violence and monsters, had grown eerily quiet almost as if it had paused all activity to set the stage for this scene.
Everything was still as if time had stopped. The only moving thing was the figure as it took shallow breaths.
Slowly but surely the figure's expression changed. An invisible force began to erupt from this figure causing the surroundings to blow away from the figure in all directions.
Upon realizing what they were doing the figure suppressed the force.
A swirl of indescribable emotions took root in the pit of the figure's stomach as they stared... at the lifeless body of a young lady. The corpse had black hair that reached down her back and cold lifeless grey eyes. She was layed out on the ground back towards the sky with several wooden stakes impaled the body through her back.
The figure slowly reached down toward the corpse with a shaky hand and upon placing it on the corpse they collapsed to the ground. A blank lifeless expression was all they could muster as they stared at the corpse.
"I failed." whispered the figure in a sad tone.
The figure's gaze turned up towards the sky. Limbs completely limp and an expression that had all but given up on living.
"Ahh, I see... I've become a monster in every sense." the figure muttered to no one.
*30 minutes passed*
The figure sat with the same expressionless face. His mind was surprisingly clear but emotions were eating away from the inside.
But suddenly a shift occurred. The blank almost helpless expression on the figure's face stirred. Light began to return to their eyes.
"Oh... I see." a smile stretched across the figure's face. A sad smile.
The figure breathed in calmly dropping the smile as it prepared itself. He placed his hand over the girl and in the next instant, the body disappeared. No trace of it ever being there could be seen.
the figure stood up and dusted himself off. "I'll do it... I'll do whatever it takes." The figure declared to seemingly no one. Determination burning in the figure's eyes. "I'll destroy Orario."
(A/N: Okay so first... the bad(kinda) news. I have decided to go on an indefinite hiatus.
Now before you freak out don't worry I haven't lost motivation or anything of the sort, but there are a few things I decided I needed to do and to do those things I need to take a break from writing the story. These things include mapping out my story more because I'll be 100% honest with you guys I was improvising my way through most the story so far. yeah there are a few plot points I was going to follow but I think I can make something far better if I take my time to map things out more and I want to write the best thing I can so you guys can enjoy it more.
so I'll be doing that. I'll also be finishing Sword Oratoria and re-reading the original series and researching the game lore, so I can remember the events and get a better handle on the writing style of Danmachi. Because I feel as though my handle on the world of Danmachi is also getting a little rusty so to remedy that I'll be doing some research. so yeah Since I do not have any clue as to how long this may take I'll be going on an indefinite hiatus. I'll try to finish all those things up quickly but ya'll know how that could go with me. I do have a sechdual for this though so it shouldn't be too long. maybe like. 3-4 months. but you never know. there is one thing I can confirm though and it is that when I return I will start with re-writing some of the older chapters. so whenever that happens just know the next chapter shouldn't be too far away.
And lastly the good (kinda) news. I'll be re-releasing the old(worse) version of this story that I deleted upon this version of the stories creation. there are a few reasons first is to give you guys some content while I go on this hiatus the second reason was I was always planning on doing this once the new version surpassed the old version in votes (btw make sure to vote on the chapters if you like this story so my story can get out there(god I feel dirty after doing that)) In any case that should be everything. so good day to you all.
Oh actually one last thing I swear. when I do come back do you guys want:
longer chapters that take longer to make
or
shorter chapters that I can make more consistantly.
that's it. see ya'll when I'm finished with everything. goodbye.)
