Chapter 249: Lament

Seven Sins System Chapter 249. Lament

I slowly opened my eyes, expecting to find myself in a familiar environment. But to my surprise, all I saw was an abyss of darkness stretching endlessly before me. It was as if the world had been swallowed by an impenetrable void, leaving behind nothing but an eerie darkness that enveloped me.

Blinking several times, I hoped to dispel the darkness that clouded my vision, but my efforts were in vain. No matter how hard I strained my eyes, there was no glimmer of light, no sign of life. It was as if I had been transported to the depths of an eternal night, cut off from the realm I had known.

'Right, this must be inside the trial', I thought to myself as I stood upright in the midst of the swirling void.

The voice that whispered in my ear was a peculiar blend of softness and urgency. At first, it was barely audible, like a distant murmur carried by the wind. But gradually, the voice grew stronger, its words resonating with a sharp edge of criticism and doubt.

"Failure," it hissed in a venomous tone, the syllables dripping with disdain. "You never lived up to your potential as the Prince of Darkness."

I rolled my eyes in response, refusing to let the voice's negativity affect me. I knew it was all just a part of the trial, a test designed to challenge me and push me to my limits. I knew my own capabilities, and I was confident in my abilities. These voices were nothing more than hollow taunts that held no power over me.

The whispers persisted. It was occasionally punctuated by mocking laughter, but I remained steadfast. I refused to let doubt creep into my mind, to sway my determination. Instead, I shook my head from side to side, dismissing their words as nothing more than empty echoes in the void.

"How could this be considered a trial for me?" I muttered defiantly and raised an eyebrow. "I've faced far greater challenges than this. These feeble attempts to undermine my confidence won't work."

So, there I was, surrounded by the persistent whispers and screams in the dark void. I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that crept over me, despite my attempts to rationalize the situation. It was as if the voices were insistent on keeping me trapped within this unsettling realm.

"Ah, of course, it was you," I murmured, reaching out to touch the mirror's surface. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of pity for my younger self. Back then, I had been lost and unsure of my place in the world. I had doubted my abilities and questioned my purpose.

But as I contemplated the mirror image, a realization struck me with clarity. This trial was not just about overcoming external obstacles or silencing the voices of doubt—it was about confronting my own inner self, including the regrets and perceived failures of my past.

However, my journey was far from over. The voice within the reflection spoke, its words laced with sadness and frustration. "Why can't I save her? Why can't I save anyone?" It lamented.
