Chapter 137: I’ll cut
"Lost in the battle, that’s how I felt, as every slash cut through the flesh of the demonized. I ignored the pain, ignored it so much it vanished.
I looked to my left, and there he was, my brother, beside me, fighting for who would be on top. The type of rivalry I never had growing up...
I was never lucky enough to play with someone, lucky enough to have a sibling that tried to do things better than me.
A colorless life, one painted by books and imaginations that were never truly mine, until now. Now this world is mine, now it’s something dear to me.
I didn’t know when it happened, but this reality became my reality. I stopped being a stranger in a body and rather I became the person that owned the body.
I might not have met many people yet, but there are those that left an impact on me—Dark, Lucas, my father, Mother, siblings, my grandfather.
They all gave me something no one else did: a family, love, advice, care. Something I was alienated from before.
Then I met the others—Robert, Mia, Liana, Sofia, and the rest of the entire class. At first, our meeting was filled with anger, with hatred, and though the time is short, I have come to realize that these things are what make life worth living.
They add the texture that we need, they add the colors that we see, they add the scent that we inhale. Everything, everyone, they have worked together without knowing, to give me a life of a different color from my past life.
