Unfinished Game

Kira's POV

"I will be back," his voice fading away, followed by an eerie laughter.

I opened my eyes; he was gone. I stood up abruptly, looking around, trying to make sure he was gone, as I didn't want to be taken by the element of surprise anymore.

The maggot-infested bush meat still lay on the floor.

Disgusting.

I ran off to the nearby grass to throw up.

What just happened?

Was he the entity himself or the messenger of the entity? I still couldn't figure that part yet, but one thing was certain: with my current level, my current strength, there was no way I would be able to defeat the entity.

The most surprising part of it all was the fact that it absorbed my attack. I wasn't quite sure what exactly it did to him, if it increased his strength immediately or if it just got stored up in his body.

As I walked back home, one question lingered in my heart.
