Chapter 17

What? Wait! What is happening? Argh! I hate this! Why do these people never finish anything and keep talking in riddles? They keep hinting me that it's better if I choose to remember. No! In reality everyone is forcing me to remember everything! From the nightmares to the attack, everything is for that one damn reason.

Wait!..... The crazy egoistic psycho! If I am here, though I don't know where this here is, then does that mean that my body is lifeless right now? I mean, a body without soul is called lifeless right? Great! Now I'm spouting nonsense!

Oleander… remember… the more you use your powers the more you remember the past…. But you must be ready to face the consequences….. piripiri's voice rang in my ears before everything started to fade. What does she mean this time? I am getting so tired of these things.

I was now back in my room, with the annoying creature still going on and on about strength. Everything was still a bit hazy, and I felt the ground spinning a bit. It's all so stupid, why must I endure this? Why must I fight a damn idiot, who knows nothing about power?

I felt something inside me snapping. I felt all the feelings of anger and pain, which I've been trying so hard to suppress, finally coming out. My emotions were now directed toward the insolent fool.

Hey! Are you dead so soon? What a complete waste. Such a mood kill! How can you guys be so weak! Such weaklings! Ha ha ha ha. The creature said while laughing like a maniac.

Are you really dead? You damn human! He asked, getting irritated. You! Damn human! Are you ignoring me right now? He said while kicking me right in the guts.

Him kicking me was the last straw for me. My patience was already running thin, but now it was non-existent. I felt something unleashing inside me. My body felt full of power. I felt the same as when I was fighting with the masked man. Thrilled. Free. Powerful.

I picked myself up and looked straight in that creature's eyes. He flinched a bit towards my sudden behaviour.

Wh–why are you acting this way? Ah hah! Is it because you have finally lost your mind? He said while quivering in fear. He's totally scared of me, and… I really am enjoying this…

This is really fun… I said, I want to feel more of this!

Let's make this a bit more interesting, shall we? I asked the creature, his face now distorted from confusion and anger.

What the heck ar– The creature tried lunge at me, thinking that he might be able to attack me.

Now, this is getting a bit boring, don't you think? I want to fight… I thought you were strong but, is this all you can do? I said a bit bored, I want to unleash my full potential. I know personality took a 180° shift but…. What can I do? If this is what the others want from me, then be it!

My words made him so angry that he was now huffing puffing in anger.

Aw ~ Is the little baby angry? I asked while tucking the lose strands of my hair back, they have been bothering me for a while now.

The creature, who just seconds ago, was seething with rage, now trembled in fear as he got full view of my eyes. But why? Maybe he finally understood the seriousness of the situation.

In the dark real, the darker the colour of one's eyes, the stronger they are! Even the strongest on the land had Ash coloured eyes. The only one who ever had the darkest eyes, was Leticia. Her eyes were obsidian coloured. And just like dark realm, the immortal realm too, differentiated between strong and weak through their eye colour. The redder a person's eye colour the strongest they will be. And the strongest person in immortal realm was Luminas, who had crimson red eyes. And as this fact was unknown to Oleander, she was now completely misunderstanding the situation. She didn't know that her eyes had turned obsidian colour from honey coloured eyes.

Pl-please spare me! I-I made a big mistake! Pl-please sp-spare m-me!

[Note – the creature had Ash coloured eyes meaning he was the strongest in dark realm after Leticia]

Huh? What happened to your " I am strong " attitude? Who did you say, is weak in the beginning?.....
