Chapter 435

Chapter 435

[This novel is already completed on Pat reon.]

It was back in 2010, young Mikael was playing with his friends. He had a wide smile on his innocent face as he played with a toy sword. He was swinging his toy facing another child, imagining that they were at war. Fighting for their lives.

"I'm the hero that will save the world!"

A young child said.

"No, I am!"

Another one muttered.

"Save the world? I think that's too much responsibility for a single person. I don't care about the world, I just want to see my family and friends happy."

Mikael replied curiously.

They were children and they always want attention, being the hero means being the protagonist. And everyone loves the protagonist.

"Wwaaaaahhhh!!"

Suddenly, the children stopped playing when they heard an ear-deafening cry. A little boy was crying on the ground, he wanted to join them but he was still too young.

"Oi Mikael! Your brother is crying again!"

One of the children said, they always hate the ones who cry the most. They make fun of Mikael who was babysitting his little brother, the children started running away from them because Klein's wail was annoying.

In this scene, young Klien was crying loudly.

"Ugh, okay fine."

Mikael was irritated. He was still 8 years old and he was far from being a mature brother. The brothers were four years apart so Klein was still 4 years old right now.

"Wwaaaaahhhh! Kuya, I want to join too!"

The little boy tantrum. From Mikael's perspective, seeing his brother acting like this was not cute at all.

'I don't know why my mom and grandma keep saying that Klein is cute. He's not cute, he's a little devil. He always disturbs me and my friends.'

"Kuya, I want to play too!!"

The child said, kicking his feet like a toddler, which he is.

"You can't. You are still young, you will be hurt if you play with us."

"Then, don't play with them too! Play with me instead!"

"I don't want to! You are boring!"

"Wwaaaaahhhh!! Mommy! Mommy!!"

Because Klein didn't get what he want, he used his special skill to harm Mikael: he cried and called for his parents like a spoiled child.

"Okay! Okay! I will play with you, just don't call Mom!"

Mikael didn't have a choice but to compromise. After all, he knew what would happen once his mother found out that he made Klein cry. His butt was still stinging the last time he received a smack.

"Yey!"

"..."

Mikael sighed and slapped his forehead in defeat. Suddenly, he heard a giggle.

"Huh? Who's there?"

Mikael turned around but he didn't see any person. His friends had already run away, leaving them.

"Kuya?"

"Nothing, I just thought someone was laughing at us. It sounds like a woman."

In the end, Mikael decided to entertain his little brother. That was his responsibility as the older brother.

"What is happening here!!? I thought dinosaurs are already extinct! Why can I see one!?"

In this scene, Mikael was hiding inside a tree to escape the T-rex that almost bite him. His expression was filled with fear, his knees almost break down.

This was also the first time that he awakened his true self. Deep within this coward Mikael, a crazy heartless monster was residing.

"Gah! I must not die here!"

Mikael roared as he fought the Hobgoblin. Just a few hours after he entered the Awakening, Mikael gained his second Skill and defeated the Hobgoblin.

He was saved by Kyle and Miriam and slowly, his fate began to change. Behind this, Mikael was walking the path of no return. The accumulation that drowned him, from the very beginning of his life started showing.

"Goodbye Awakening! I hope I'll never see you again!"

Mikael raised his hands, giving double middle fingers to the air, showing his hatred towards this Awakening that stole everything from him.

"Fuck you!!!"

He said with a smile.

As his body vanished, someone with a gentle voice spoke to him. But because he was still weak, he thought everything that he heard was fake and created by his mind.

[You should have died in the Awakening.

That Hobgoblin ate your flesh and smash your skull to eat your brain.

But you live...

Thank you for being alive.]

"No, I shouldn't have lived."

Mikael saw his past countless times. Past events kept happening before him and he could do nothing but watch them.

"I don't know how many times I saw this scene. Like come on, I'm getting tired."

Mikael looked distressed, but he was acting like he was not affected.

From the moment he was born, up to now, he kept seeing every part of his life. It was replaying before him and he was getting scared.

However, out of everything that he saw, there were things that Mikael didn't want to experience again.

"No... Don't go there. It's over, Mom and Dad are already dead."

Mikael watched his past self following the soldiers when he returned to Cavite after the Awakening. This was the time when the giant ants invaded their city and killed millions.

"Don't follow them, you will only be hurt."

But his past self didn't listen. Mikael averted his gaze, he couldn't look at this scene. Knowing that his parents were dead still hurts him even now.

Mikael touched his chest, he could feel it. He was changing. Every negative emotion and situation that he experienced kept replaying until his mind break down.

He knew that this was a trial because he chose to absorb the Sin of Wrath... However, it seemed that he was more affected than he thought.

"Just stop this..."

He said with a heavy voice but no one listen. His chest felt heavy, even breathing was so hard.

It was coming, the moment that he wanted to escape.

"I said stop!! Stop this!!!"

He screamed like a madman. He tried to summon his weapon but nothing happened.

He turned around and ran away to escape it, but he still failed. No matter how many times he tried to escape, he always returned to this scene.

"I'm sorry, I can't save her."

In the middle of the destruction, Mikael was standing and staring at Andromeda.

He just learned that it was impossible to save Niña. The hope that he was holding, it disappeared. That she was already dead, that he would never see her again.

Slowly, a piece of his heart crumbled. He already watched this scene for an endless time, but his heart still broke. He didn't know how long he could resist.

He kneeled, his eyes slowly losing their vibrant.
