Chapter 90: Awakening Entity (1/2)

”The door will open in...”

”3...”

”2..... ”

”1..... ”

*FLASH*

.....

The huge towering clasps and latches vanished, making the massive chains plummet a few meters away from the duo below.

'That's Big!!' (That's what she said...)

Marcus thought as his eyes widened at the size of the steel chain beside him.

The system ambled forward and tapped on the door. Reacting to his touch, the door creaked and squealed as it slowly unlocked.

Marcus caught sight of flickering lights in his eyes through the narrow gap as the door opened, which was gradually expanding as time passed.

The thought train once again wrecked Marcus's psyche as it railed against him. What the system wanted was him to be cool, calm as he possibly could be. But he certainly was relinquishing the only mandatory capability he required to make it through this... hell, and that was composure.

But No... Marcus was lost in his thoughts. He was panicking and it was to that extent that his thoughts were gradually giving rise to a mysterious entity inside him...

'What'll happen to me?'

'Will the system self destruct with me??'

'Will I die?'

*Crack, Crack*

'I was supposed to die two years ago right?'

'Why was I so weak back then??'

'Even though I can adapt to things...'

*CRack, CRack*

'Why was I not able to adapt to being a Fielddust back then?'

'Able to adapt... my ass'

'I tried to suicide...'

'How pathetic can I be?'

'....'

*CRAck, CRAck*

'Or will I survive this?'

'I might be able to right?'

'I am the guardian, they can't seriously kill me off like this!'

'But one of the previous guardians died'

'...'

*CRACk, CRACk*

'I just want to see my family again'

'And My Friends'

'I want to see Dave, Luca, Cloy, Melova, and Kerin again'

'I want to see them so bad'

*CRACK, CRACK*

*PING*

*ECHO*

{But are they your friends??}

A mysterious voice retorted inside him. It was not his system though. His eyes traced the look alike figure in front of him who was still typing on the window tab.

'Who's it?'

Marcus could only think as he was restrained from talking.

{I'll introduce myself later}

The mysterious voice said.

{Don't worry it'll happen soon}

It laughed. The laugh held up a menace at every bar. The voice was very raspy, which sounds almost as if it was a demon laughing at him. It was simply, if termed, a cacophony of laughter.

{What do you mean it'll happen soon?... Wait, demon... Pyraze?. Is it you Pyraze??.}

Marcus inquired. He had almost forgotten about the Flame Berserker inside him.

{Ah... I'm not him... He's still sleeping. But it's thanks to him that I'll be able to do what I've been planning to do for two whole years}

'What the hell??. I am already neck deep into this mess and Pyraze you are kidding around?. You are joking, right? Your voice is so... not... as it used to be'

{KEKEK}

'Hear me out, this is not the time to joke!!'

{Shut up delusional bastard, I've gotten tired of your shit}

'*Gasp*....'

{I said I'm not him, can't you just accept it you fool?}

'...'

{You are 18... start acting your age... how mentally retarded can you be?}
