Chapter 9 I Am Nobody

A sound is coming. What is that? What? They're not dead? Strange...

Only Kenji's copy has survived. He starts attacking me. I dodge Kenji's attacks.

It's going to be too early to use this but...

I quickly retreat... I look at Kenji.

"Die!"

"Wh-"

Kenji collapses to the ground and dies.

I didn't care because these people were fake. They were demons. Whatever... In the end, I killed them. That's it. They think I'm dead, right? Or at least, I think so. I will disguise myself.

I clap my hands together. My hair turns white. My eye color becomes green. I grow taller. I guess by about 20 centimeters...

Now I'm ready. I'm not too far from home. I'm aware of that. I will teleport near the house.

I teleport.

I think this place is good. Wait a second... Why am I just noticing this?!?!?!? The day we entered the dungeon was the twelfth of the month. Now it's the fifteenth. What does this mean? Did I spend three days in there? This is a big problem. I will investigate a bit.

I am presumed dead. It's not certain, but that's what they think. I got caught in a teleportation trap. Kenji is alive. That means he escaped from the lich. Honestly, I'm surprised. There are many people here. It's probably because a lich appeared in the dungeon.

I get closer by becoming invisible.

I was wrong. They are here for me. I want to kill everyone present over there. I am bored. Why not? I will do it.

I come out of invisibility and decapitate the guests.

It was fun. But it's not enough. They couldn't do anything. They survived from my family. Koichi, Kanao, Kenji, Mai, and Arisu.

Mai, Arisu, and my mother were looking in fear.

Poor them... They are going to die soon, but they don't know it. Kenji is speaking.

"Who are you, w-what did you do?"

"Me? I... They call me ƭ૨เא*ҡ."

"ƭ૨เא*ҡ? WHAT ARE YOU?"

"I am nothingness itself."

Koichi lunges at me and attacks. I easily deflect his attacks. Koichi starts attacking too. Mai, Arisu, and Kanao are supporting with magic. WEAK! TOO WEAK!

I speak.

"I'm sorry."

My appearance returns to its original state.

"I'M SO SORRY. I COULDN'T CONTROL MYSELF."

They all look in astonishment.

I smile devilishly.

"It was a joke."
