Chapter 5 Aftermath of the first Battle Part 1

Under a tree, about to 60 kilometers from the village, I John, 13, was emptying my stomach while my whole body shook violently, it was a miracle i managed to stay calm all this time, not shaking, not hesitating, but the moment I could calm down came, i broke down.

"I... Killed... Urgh!!!"

Yes, it was not fear of death, it was not disgust from the slaughter, but actually, the act of killing itself, i saw people be crushed in a instant, the sight of death lurking behind my back, and most of all, i killed two human beings, without hesitation, without fear, yet now that my heart calmed down, all i could feel was disgust, fear, anger and several other feelings i couldn't calm down yet.

"Urgh!... Damn it..."

When the knot on my stomach was gone, came the tears, i started to cry again like a baby, shaking even more than before.

"Please... Someone... Anyone..."

I wanted someone to comfort me, to make me feel everything was over and i could calm down, but there was no one like that, i was alone, the voice of first, Andrew's voice, was gone for some reason, i could still feel him inside of me, but we couldn't communicate, daydreamer was inside my inventory, but even that sword wouldn't be able to talk with me, it would only worry about me.

"I... I want to go home..."

Saying those words, the memory of the life i had before coming to this world, the several times i just ran away to my safe zone, came flowing like a flood, eating trash, wasting hours and hours on the internet, working my ass off for pennies and... The family i left behind even before coming to this world.

"... What in hell is wrong with me? Go home? Screw it!"

With renewed strength, i punch the tree where I was leaning on and stood up, my body rejected the sudden punch at the tree by having my fist bleed and have pieces of wood stuck on my skin, yet i didn't care.

"Man up you bitchy idiot!!!"

I said to myself as if to affirm "it IS my life now", i had to understand that fact and move forward from it, or else, sooner or later, i would die a miserable death.

"... Ok, time to take notes"

I took from my inventory daydreamer and something i originally didn't expect that would have come to this world with me, my cellphone.

"I guess you are both the only company i have left"

Daydreamer released it's discomfort with my statement, after all, it was alive, but not my phone was just a piece of technology from another world that soon enough would stop functioning without a mean to charge it, but yeah, it was a friend on times of need for a few years, so i still trusted it's functions, including it's note app.

"Let's make a report about everything that happened so far and all data I got"

With that said, i started typing on my phone in the language only i could read in this world, portuguese.

"Let's start with... Baba yaga"

Baba yaga, the frozen witch of order, also known as the "buggie man" by the caos church, she is a monstrously powerful elemental witch who's specialty is the use of ice magic, she was the grandma of Andrew the first me, she was a cold blooded murderer of the church who simply enjoyed to kill those beneath her after bringing them to despair by tricking them into believing on her, she died a very painful death that couldn't be described casually without having nightmares, the only reason why she was killed was because she heavily underestimated me and was playing with me, if she was to go all out, she could have frozen me and the whole village in a single blow, but her love for seeing her pray bleed stopped her from doing that.

"Urgh!..."

Just from reminding myself that was enough to make me want to puke again, but my empty stomach just sent pain to my head instead

"Calm down... Calm down"

Daydreamer on my lap sent me a feeling of comfort, as if to tell me it was alright, what made me smile weakly and rub my hand along the flat of my sword.

"So... About Daydreamer next then"

Daydreamer, my first Holy Sword and the one dejected ages ago, it has the power of absorbing the skill of any others that touches it to share it with its master, in a simple way, it's far too limited and doesn't have a offensive power of it's own as it's a Holy Weapon made of the weakest materials, silver and black iron, but thanks to it being a Holy Sword, it is capable of killing anything as long as it's blade reach it, but of course, it's not capable of cutting through magic without proper strength behind it, something i lack thanks to not having a soul core, but with it's ability to share it's absorbed ability, i managed to fight somewhat properly against the witch.

"... I can't say how glad I am for having you now, I'm really sorry i abandoned you for so many years"

Saying that, i put down my phone and hugged my sword carefully to not get cut, that odd act would make anyone consider me crazy, damn, even i would, but the warm and gentle sensation daydreamer sent me was enough to calm my heart, i really had a partner who I could count on now, with that in mind, i started to clench my fist, thinking about the other holy sword i used.

"His sword, you managed to fight together with it right?"

Raikiri, the lightning holy sword, it's name came from the legend of a lightning cutting sword, it's power was simple, "release lightning at each swing" but that was it's elemental effect, like all 12 holy swords of my past incarnations, it had a hidden power that couldn't be used unless the user managed to reach some specific requirement, it could turn it's user and itself into living lightning for 5 seconds, making them able to slay anything that person pass through, a power used to fight several enemies, and to save many friends in the past.

"... Friends hmm..."

The memory of several people came to mind, the companions of my past incarnations, people i could believe in, but the me of now could never help them how they needed, i could never save anyone, specially sakura.

"... Maybe I should start typing about sakura then"
