Someone once said-
'The goal of all life is death.'
We're all born with death's mark on us, whatever we try to do....death is inevitable.
A groan escaped the man's throat as he gazed upon the horrifying sight before him.
It was a battlefield, bodies of allies and foes alike were strewn around everywhere, most of them were dead or was dying like the man...
Unbridled rage as well as sadness for the lives cut short made the man feel a very complex emotion....
" This...isn't.....over.", the man whispered falling down .
~~~~
I open my eyes slowly and steadily, trying my best to calm myself.
Beads of sweat flow down my forehead profusely as my breathing gradually becomes regular again.
After making sure that I was feeling fine, I get up rubbing my forehead, reeling in my urge to punch myself to lessen my headache.
" Arghhhhhhh---", I groan out frustrated.
" Urghhh....again ?!", Eric said getting up from his bed.
It's not my fault that he's sensitive to sound.
If anyone's frustrated....it's me, I've just about had enough of these stupid visions....or nightmares....I'm not really sure what these are...
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom It started almost four months back, out of the blue I started have these 'nightmares' and it's been very difficult....my sleep schedule is all messed up and I'm miserable.
As to what exactly was the contents of these 'night visions'.....I can't clearly remember....only I remember is the distinct smell of blood which is technically impossible since it's a dream and all....
After a week of experiencing these visions....I went to the demon kingdom and asked for help, they tried their best but according to them I was perfectly fine.
Lecia had this absurd theory that it was all because of the guilt I felt....which is just not true, it's true that I felt a little down when some 'things' happened but I don't feel all that guilty since it wasn't really my fault.
That was exactly what I'm going to tell Emilia as well.
Lecia and Eric had been pestering me continuously for the past five months, they wanted me to tell the 'truth' to Emilia....and I was planning on doing just that. Emilia's grandparents were the ones who signed the contract....so it's their fault.
I know it's selfish on my part to tell her that but hey....I'm trying to be more truthful...that's an improvement if you ask me.
" Here you go.", Eric said, handing me a glass of water.
I gulp it down quickly and try to go back to sleep, but it proved fruitless as I couldn't fall asleep no matter what I did, so instead of wasting my time squirming around my bed, I decided to train.
~~~~
'Raven...Huff'
'Claw....Puff'
I 'huffed' and 'puffed' as I continued training with my spear even after every bone in my body felt sore, I might regret this later but I was too immersed in my training to really care.
After another hour of training, I fall down on the floor of my training room, completely and utterly exhausted.
Staring up at the dull ceiling, a strange sense of dread spreads over me....ignoring this I open up my status screen to how much I had improved,

--------------------------------------
Over the past five months, I'd improved considerably but this still wasn't enough....I need more....more power.
I lay on the floor staring at the status screen for a very long period of time.
It wasn't easy too break into the realm of C rank, unlike the other ranks it was much more harder....I even had to use some specialized potions for training.
Getting tired of staring at my status screen, I force myself up and head over to the bathroom to take a nice and hot shower.
As the heated water embraced my body, I could almost feel my fatigue melting away but as always instead of enjoying my well deserved break...my mind wandered elsewhere.
To be exact, Dina or I suppose... my mom.
She hadn't left but she didn't get in my way, I still don't know what exactly she wants but I'm sure that she won't hurt me....but it's always better to be careful but the problem is that I have no means to defeat an angel that's lived for far longer than me.
So.....I'm doing nothing.
I get out of the bathroom, water dripping down from my body to the carpet below, I use a towel to cover myself and move away as Eric rushes past me into the bathroom muttering something.
'What's up with him ?', I thought feeling confused.
My confusion disappears as my eyes land on the clock.....I think I just took a two hour long shower....
'Rring !'
Before I could digest the fact that I had took a bath for two hours, the door bell to our room was rung which was weird since nobody ever uses that thing.
I open the door, on the other side stood Eustace with Katherine hiding behind him looking guilty.
'Sigh'
Sighing, I move back inside my room, as I take my uniform which had been kept on my bed...I say,
" Come in."
I knew that this was coming someday soon....but I didn't think that I would have to do this half-naked.
.......
'Sigh'
