Calm Hatred

During the slumber of Ren, his bloodline began to awaken and he gained a powerful yet weak gift from it. The ability was called Dream Dive, the ability allowed him to dive into a dreams of every living being across the universe; the only requirement would be getting passed the security. The security was based off their soul's strength, mental fortitude, and will power. Many didn't have strong security so Ren went diving into many dreams, causing nightmares to many poor souls simply one a whim.

Ren eventually decided to start trying to break into stronger existence's dreams but was fruitless after many tries. He kept trying and trying until eventually, he 'broke' into one; in reality, he was let in. There, he met a woman who had a sharp gaze when he stared at her and he immediately came to know his situation. He was the hostage, she was the terrorist who's now keeping him here; causing him to think back to his day's as a servant. Ren asked the woman in a low-tone, "Do you plan on keeping me here for an eternity?" The answer that he received was what he had predicted, but the woman was playing him as a fool, "Yes. Your stay here won't be pleasant at all though."

The rage and despair that he hadn't felt so strong in years surfaced and his Seven Illusions (This will be the shortened term for convenience of course. Word count? I don't care for that, 1k to 1.5k is all I bother to write.) projected himself as a demon, reaching out to shatter everything that would obstruct him. "I.. Will not be trapped in one place like I had once before! If you think you can keep me here, then you are sadly mistaken. I have an eternity and I can still cultivate another path; I, Ren of The Wu Clan, will NOT be a slave once again!" This encounter and promise turned into a joke after the woman started to giggle and said, "I'm not some sadistic monster, you know? I wanted to see your reaction and it seems like you have trauma. I'm sorry but I can't help but asking, you said you were from the Wu Clan? I haven't heard of that clan since taking history classes."

Ren and the woman, who's name was Luoshen Qianxue spent a few years meeting up and chatting; forming a deep bond with one another. Ren and Luoshen Qianxue were currently playing with the dreamscape until Ren said a single sentence, containing a lot of emotions within it, "If only, if only you were the one who I was a servant to." These words followed with the news from Luoshen Qianxue, created a deep seed of hatred for her unborn son along with the Luoshen and Qin clan. When Luoshen Qianxue heard Ren's words, she was startled and hugged him as she gained the courage to tell him the bad news that she had been hiding. "I'm sorry, but this isn't the right moment to tell you but if I withhold it from you any longer; that despair that you hide behind those hollow and lifeless eyes of yours, will only increase to levels that no one should have to bare." Luoshen Qianxue began to speak and with a brief pause, she continued, "I'm having a son and due to reasons, I won't be able to meet you or my son again. If you were to ever encounter my son, would you help him?"

Ren sat in silence as he processed these words, he read a bit of the novel but he had never finished it. He didn't know whether she lived past the birth of her son or not; after a period a silence, answer that she received was filled with pain and coldness, "I can't. I won't. I.. hate him. I won't kill him until he reaches his peak, I'll be the constellation that knocks him off his throne and extinguish his soul."

She smiled with bitterness and nodded before pleading, "If he decides to live a life of a mortal, will you let him live?"

"I will let him live; but first he has to experience hell no matter which path he chooses. I won't kill him though until he reaches the apex and I won't kill him if he decides to live a mortal's life." Ren stood up and said in a calm voice, "I hate him. But I also hate you for abandoning me. What I hate the most out of all, is the fact that my heart still beats; feeling life run through my veins makes me realize that this is reality." And with that, Ren left the space and slept awhile longer in solitude, leaving a crying beauty shouting out her frustrations and blaming everyone and everything.
