8 Chapter 8 ~ Story Time (2/2)

There is also a record saying that billions of people start playing it on the release date, and as for the measurement… I'm sure he meant the Status.

He said they inject purpose to them, and they mean the Monsters. Obviously, he didn't mean about his people, the Undead. Wait, I wonder if the other undead is also his people, in any case, let's leave that for later.

Pondering about it for a moment, I concluded.

I mumbled, ”So that's why…”

It didn't take long for the genius me to figure out everything so simple.

His tone voice changed, instead of an Overlord, he sounded more like a desperate man

”So, you know, mortal? Can we undo all of it from happening?”

'He wants to do what!? That's... quite unfortunate'

I shook my head and sighed

”It is how it supposed to be, there is nothing we can do about it…”

Resting my head against the chair and look up to the ceiling

I spoke

”I don't know who that Mighty Being is, but there is no one but him that can change anything. What happened has happened and it will happen again… the cycle will continue… again.”

The Lich looking down in distraught, ”I see, so we are meant to be destroyed. They gave us a road to follow yet they also block its path…”

Looking back up to me

”Tell me, Mortal”, staring at me in the eye, ”Are you… also going to kill us too?”

”…”

Closing my eyes.

I spoke, ”Yes”

*Bwrrrrr*

The Undead in the room suddenly turned their heads onto me, and something else slowly popping out of the floor, the wall, and the ceiling.

I can feel it… there is something big on the other side of those… shadow.

The Lich eyes turn Black but it's glowing brightly like the moon.

”Will you… also going to kill me?”

There is something eerie coming from the back of my neck.

I can feel it… something really sharp is creeping around my neck... something truly horrifying. But I muster up my courage and speak again, ”No”

”You… scared?”

I know that I'm in a quite difficult situation but if you are asking if I'm scared or not, the answer is...

”No”

”…”

His voice started to crack, it is so painful to hear him talking, it's as if a dying man trying to speak in his last breath.

”You, do you— no, did you… know who I am, Mortal?”

Paused by his question, I clenched my fist as I open my eyes, looking at him right in the eye.

I spoke

”I've killed you once, Ludwig.”

*Slice!
