9 Chapter 9 ~ Ludtleth & Malice (1/2)

My visions turned upside down, blood flowing out of my mouth and gushing out of my neck.

It was a Scythe, someone has cut my head; it was a knight, he is standing behind me.

I didn't die, I can't talk but I can feel the searing pain creeping up from the bottom of my head, painful is truly an understatement to what I'm feeling right now.

I tried my hardest to endure, aside from the pain alone my mouth is full of blood.

Very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, the Knight put my head back and attach it again

”Hngh”

Only for a moment, the pain increased several times stronger.

I almost quit the game because of it, not that I can do it anyway.

My neck is slowly regenerating and now it's back altogether.

*Cough *Cough

I cough out the blood to the side and slowly, I turned back to look at the Lich, and he was smiling. Sure, it's so funny to see someone in pain.

”Fu-ha-ha-ha” Ludwig laughs in cracking… butt-clenching voice.

”That is indeed my name, Mortal.”

He adjusted his sitting posture and spoke, ”I see, you tell the truth, but… why didn't you want to… kill me again?”

Glancing down, come to think of it, I don't know the reason.

Aside from owing Ludtleth for letting the old peeps out… no wait…

There is one.

Somehow, back then… when I killed him… I felt nothing but regret

Maybe that is why I don't want to kill him… maybe I don't want to feel something so uncomfortable again.

And so, troubled by my own thought.

I didn't respond to him.

”Very well, if you… wish not to tell me, then so be it.”

*Snap*

Flinched by the sudden noise, my heartbeat has gotten faster.

He snapped his finger; it was so loud. But nothing happened.

”You may stay here for a while, come to me again… when you are ready to leave… to the surface…”

It looks like he didn't get bothered when I didn't respond to him. ”Look for Malice, she will give you a set of clothing” he said.

Surprised when I heard that, I thought for sure he would kill me… Ludtleth said that he will. But no need to ponder about it, I nodded— bowed to him and look for Malice right away.

Sitting on the far corner of the Library, I saw her standing behind Ludtleth.

I'm a bit hesitant to approach them because I'm naked, but that feeling quickly faded as my crotch started to get wet, 'T-This is bad, my fetish keeps getting wider and wider' I thought.

So, I decided to approach them, ”Excuse me...” I said.

Ludtleth notices me right away, he turned around and spoke, ”Mortal? Still alive I see”

”Y-Yes”

I'm quite nervous; it really does feel like I'm talking to another person.
