Repeated Death

Kian pulled back just in time and decapitated the monster.

He looked up as the monster's body fell. He breathed heavily, but at least he won.

Then felt something exit his mouth, just saliva right? He brought his hand up to his lip and looked.

His eyes widened upon seeing what it was and immediately a burning sensation started in his stomach and chest. He looked down and saw 2 holes in those places.

"Wait! I... I won!" He said desperately towards the girl.

She looked at him with a sad, but cold look. "Not if you die."

He looked down at the holes and looked back at the monster with pure anger as he let out a yell.

When he woke up again, it was as if he'd lost his mind. He dashed towards it and died.

The next time he grabbed into one tentacle and dropped down, but the monster caught him and ripped him in half.

The he tried his old strategy of cutting it's tentacles and almost got close, but it killed him by stomping.

As his deaths continued though he began to change. His sanity began to slip.

Instead of attacking strategically he started to attack like a fool.

It was as if dying wasn't a problem for him anymore or he had forgotten his reason for dying in the first place.

He woke up again, but this time he laughed and laughed and laughed. Was it because he found this fun? No, he was laughing because his mind saw it as the only thing keeping him from going completely insane. Not like it helped though.

As he kept going he just kept on dying over and over.

The monster started to notice this and kept easily killing him.

That is until he heard a cry.

He turned and saw someone. Some girl with dark brown hair and clothes similar to his own. He felt like he should know her. Then another with blonde hair she looked more royal.

Then a maid and some Divine looking female, and lastly some fox girl.

Once again he felt like he should have known them.

Who are these people? Why do I feel like I've known them before?

"Kian, Remember..." They all said in unison

"What?"

"Remember..."

"Remember what?! Who are you?!"

"Remember, why you are here. Why you dying. Remember, Remember."

He looked at the girls and his memories began to flash before his eyes. In response he bit his lip.

"I'll- I'll come back to you guys, better than I was before."

He grabbed a sword and looked at the monster and walked up to it as it's tentacles vibrated.

He held his sword up and yelled and as soon as the tentacle came down he hit it as hard as he could with the flat side of the blade.

The monster jumped back with a little growl of pain and the attacked tentacle laid limp on the ground.

He smiled as a tentacle struck his head.

When he woke up again he smirked and grabbed 4 swords, 1 in his mouth, 2 in his hands, the other in his pit.

He planted one right in front of him and slowly walked to the left of the monster and quickly planted one there before dodging a tentacle and running. Then one ahead and the last one he held on tight to.

He ran towards the monster and jumped as high as he could and cut it deeply and as he was going down he threw the sword at the another one to his left.

He hoped his plan would work and that his accuracy wouldn't be bad.

Luckily it worked, the sword hit the other and made a loud clang and as he thought the monster turned that way as it's tentacles shook.

When he landed they shook again and it turned towards him.

Kian noticed something though, the only tentacles that shook were the ones near him.

He smiled again as another death came upon him.

When he woke again the monster was in a more crazed state. It's tentacles running wild and it itself was moving back and forth and side to side.

With the monster being able to adapt to his attacks he knew that this wouldn't be easy and also... That he'd probably have to kill in it one life otherwise when he came back the monster would just adapt to his strategy.
