Tome of the undying lich - part (3)

Finally, the seed becomes to mature. THE BET HAS ALREADY BEEN PLACED ON THE MATCH."

Denial: (barely catching his breath) fighting two origin zombies. 

The rest of the denial shadow also struggling as they were barely holding off the horde. 

Kuro Kage: "My Lord!" "Let me come assist you!"

Denial: "Just hold them off. I will deal with them myse....??"

Suddenly the one of the origin zombies jumped to bite denial's neck. 

Denial managed to barely avoid the attack, but then it suddenly switches it falling direction mid-air, biting denial leg, and holding him off. 

Denial: "Shxt, I can't break free from him. What a strong biting power." 

Then, another one rushing towards denial's head, trying to finish him off. 

Scutum: My lord! 

"Boommm!" 

In the mid of the chaos, Kuro kage used his skill to fence off the zombie's attack but the aftermath of the force, blown both denial and kuro kage far away, hitting the nearby boulder. With one hit, the kuro kage, arm crack, with a faint blue light coming out from his shadow black figure. While denial suffered multiple bone fractures, rip, breath difficulties, internal injuries. 

A clot of blood keeping gushing out of the denial's mouth.

Denial: "Fxxk, I haven't been to this state for a while, I almost forgot, I wasn't strong at all. What? I see my left leg is gone, that damn zombie bitted off my feet. Arrr, that is bad, the blood lost is no joke, worse with my blood rage, the blood rushing towards my system double the normal amount, more exhausting than usual." 

Scutum: My lord, even with my outer skeleton, I couldn't block that zombie. My apologies.

Denial: "That's come later. How many cell you had left?"

Scutum: "Blocking the previous attack, i lost 1/4 of my cells. Might have to wait a bit before i can regenerate. Even with Kuro Kage's assist, the origin zombie is different level than all monster i have faced before."

Denial: "That's to be expected (slow breathing)"

System message: "Detected that host's vital signs are fading. Will of the Space (level 1), Survivor (level 3) will be forced mutated (failed). Slow regeneration (C+) will be forced mutated (failed). 

Denial: "I can feel every organ in my body is failing. Even my body heat slowly leaving. Shxt i m losing my ..." 

Far away, somewhere in dimension, 

Undying lich king domain: "Look like, his champion is slowly dying. Even with his power, he won't be rival with my direct puppets, which have parts of my authorities. Now, my old friend, i know you like to play from unexpected position but i never thought your choosing of your player skill are weaking as you choose to not participate in these games for a while." 

In the darkness of space, a corner of the wide space, the dark figure, or a child figure with a darkest body where there is no star, light nor even planet, total emptiness is playing his own chess. (smirk) 

Chaos Origin (child voice): Let me see, what is inside you, Denial. Demon or angel?

Denial: "Shxt, .... "

(system warning): host is in life danger. By command, the last test will be prepared, "Heart of darkness (???)." 

Suddenly, a dark glowing figure, appeared from the nearly unconscious body of denial's, denial's mind is overwhelmed by empty feeling. 

Flash back, "He is nothing. I don't want to be with you, are you stupid? Don't call me my brother at school! I don't have brother like you! Who is this loser? Even with all this power, strength you couldn't cure your mom, your sister is still hating you. Your dad? You don't even he is alive or dead? What have you achieved? Nothing? You haven't changed nothing; everything is still the same. You are the same as ever right, loser?"

Denial's crimson eye becomes empty, blackened beyond black, the black gooey liquid falling like tears from the denial's eye, while his facial expression become that of the lifeless/ soulless existence.

System error~?#i0 - (the seed of emptiness) have been bloomed. 

Denial no longer breath, with his empty eyes, with his footless leg, his heart had stopped but he is somehow moving like.. a demon from the hell or lifeless puppet. 

Disturbing voice - "So, this is mortal body, I always wonder how living beings acts, so this is what is like to be in one's shell. Look at the body and, around a bit."

Kuro Kage and the rest, including scutum, couldn't say a word even though they know the denials right now isn't the one they swore their loyalty to. Something more, something empty. Even when they were restless fighting and fending off the horde of zombie. 

Disturbing voice - "I see. Time! slow for me. Suddenly the time around the space of denial's become much slower than before, while he is moving slowly, trying to get up. Seem like this body isn't in good condition, a black liquid come out from the palm of denial's slowly moving towards into incoming rushing origin zombie (slowed), swallowing its whole body in an instant. Domain! suddenly every space around become empty swallowing all zombie horde and ..."

In the other end, Denial's soul is sucked into unknown dimension.

Denial: Where am I? Why is everything black? Wait, a min. I don't remember anything, who am I? What am I? really? Does it even matter? All i feel is emptiness. 

Suddenly, he feels the chill as if something ominous, enormous being, that he can't comprehend is staring at him from every direction. 

Disturbing chaos voice: ... (whispering something) 

Denial: "What? I hear some voice but i don't understand."

Suddenly, the little girl (shadowy figure) appeared Infront of him playing with glowing stars, on her hand. Wanna come and join me? I feel lonely by myself. (child voice) 

Denial: "Confused?"

As he doesn't even remember anything. He sat down near beside the little girl slowly and stably, trying to remember his name. 

Little girl: what are you thinking? play with me! 

Denial: "Yea? Oh, right?" 

Even though he doesn't even know what he is doing, he can't deny the order of the little girl. After some unknown time, (chuckles) (little girl voice) throw it, throw it. Denial's then throw a glowing star into the empty space above; the star slowly lost it glow and then faded away.

Little girl: "Why aren't you answering to me? Play with me!" 

Denial: "Yea? Oh, right?"

After some unknown time, the little girl said the same thing again and again, countless time. "PLAY WITH ME!" (dramatic music) 

after countless time, 

Little girl: "Answer me? Let's play!" 

Denial: "Yea. alright. Wait?"

Denial: "I feel like I have been missing something the whole time." 

Little girl: "Come on, let's play! Neeeeeee ~ let's play! Let's play!" "let's play!" "I'm bored" 

"NOOOOOO!" said by Denial.

(silence) 

Denial: Sorry, i feel like i was thinking something for a very long time. Wait, my name? What is my name?

Little girl: "Your name? Does it matter? You are already here to play with me. right? Does your name really matter?" 

Denial: "yea~ does it even matter anyway?"

Little girl: "let's pla~?" (silence)

Suddenly, the tear coming out of denial's eye. 

Flash back ~ "He is very handsome right; he is only 8 years old." "A little girl calling "Big brother"." "The big man who always carries you on the back of his bikes when he goes to work." "The first prize that he ever won for the first time." "A little boy, who is smiling with a woman and a man "Saying i want to be strong like daddy." "Mom, always be with you, ok? Don't worry this is your first day at school, make a lot of friends, ok?" 

What is this? Who is he? What are those people? I don't know what they are, or where these comes from? Who is he? Why is he smiling at me, also she is also smiling looking at me?" 

"What your old man gone, be a good man and take good care of your mom and sister for ya, will ya? My boy?" 

"Dean?" 

The tear's flows out endlessly from the denial's eye even though he doesn't even have a clue as to why he is being like that. 

Denial: Why am i being like this? Who is dean? What is this thing coming from my eye? I feel, I feel in my heart, ...

Suddenly denial's look at the little girl. The mysterious black shadowy figure who always show no expression but want to play with glowing stars as she is bored. 

That little girl eye's also flowing down with liquid, as she slowly changes her expression, and whisper, 

"IT FEELS WARM!" 

As she starts tearing down, her facial expressions become to loosen a bit, the black shadowy figure of her, slowly deteriorate bit by bit chipping away slowly. Everything becomes to lighten up, as if he is woken from the long deep dream, denial woke up from the bed. 

(knock) (knock) Anna's voice: (Dean! Are you up? I cook some breakfast myself. Sera also helps me as well. You aren't up as usual, so we thought you are tired from the last night work, so we tried to make something nutritious for you. Come down, after washing up. Sera said, she isn't eating not until you eat with her as well). 

Denial's memories are confused, last time, i was going to the hunter's market to buy something. After that? After that? ....I can't remember anything.

Scutum! Kuro Kage! Hell knight!

Scutum: "Yes, my lord." Kuro Kage (what do you need?") Hell knight (at your service, my lord.") 

Denial: "What happened after I go the hunter market." 

Scutum: "After that, we go into the dungeon called "Zombie's Cave" and after clearing that, we went back home. But my lord, as far as i would remember, my instinct is being weird, as i can't recall anything of those memories." 

Kuro Kage, Hell knight: "Our apologies, my lord. We also remember that way."

Denial: "Something strange, i can't recall either. Let's me ... "

Anna's voice: "Dean! Are you done; Sera is calling you nonstop! Saying the food are getting cold."

Denial: "Oh, ok ok ok. Alright, I am coming." Alright? (replied back). 

Back in the space, sometimes on the Lich King domain, lich king suffered heavy lost that his authority has been weaken by a lot. While on the other hand, the deepest part of the unknown space, the shadowy figure is slowly growing. "Disturb voice - I want to feel it again. That warmth."
