Chapter 47: Ch 47: I Just Wish!

"Now this looks better!"

Emrys waved the blade, producing several sharp gusts of wind unintentionally. Just a normal wave produced such strong feedback.

After a few seconds, he kept the blade on his back and looked at Elysia, only to find that she was no longer there.

"Where is she?"

There were several questions he had to ask her, however, she disappeared without a trace. He was dumbfounded and immediately looked around, only to be disappointed.

Recalling that Elysia had been watching her for a few days already, he thought that she might be looking at him right now as well. He tried to feel her presence or gaze, but he was again disappointed. He failed to sense her.

In the end, having no choice, he diverted his attention from Elysia and finally focused on the surroundings.

This place was totally different from other places that Emrys had explored before inside the abandoned mansion, as it seemed completely barren. There were no trees, the soil was black, and huge carbonized rocks stood everywhere. This was a huge expanse of rather desolate land.

After scanning around, he saw a pyramid built with black stones about a mile away. This was a giant pyramid.

"Is something important hidden in that pyramid?" Emrys muttered in a low voice. After thinking for a few seconds, he headed for the pyramid.

This place seemed rather peculiar, showing absolutely no signs of life. There were no beasts along the way as well. Emrys easily reached the pyramid without hindrance.

The pyramid had one giant entrance. The entrance was wide open. There was a completely red skeleton sitting by the pyramid doors. This red skeleton did not seem to belong to a human, instead, it appeared more like a mutated creature's skeleton. A human must have mutated into what seemed to be the owner of this red skeleton.

The red skeleton sat with its back against a small boulder. Several words were written on top of this boulder. The writing seemed old, but not ancient.

.....

I wanted to avoid this day my whole life, however, it still came.

This is the day I died.

I wanted to avoid death, but death still caught up with me.

Although I have no regrets in my life, I sometimes still think of my family.

On the day of my death, I saw my loved ones sigh in relief, as if the one who died was not one of their family member, but a monster. My corpse was buried by them deep under the ground. My loved ones, and my family, looked at my grave and laughed, there was not a drop of tears on their faces.

I died, but I still lived for some reason. Is it because I truly become a monster?

The person who dug out my skeleton looked at me and said, 'One day, I shall return. That day will be the day of my true death.'

He then left as well.

Oh, how I wish he come quickly and grant me a true death.

I am already dead but still alive. This kind of life makes me suffer, it makes me want to die every day. So be it if he wants to extract my bone marrow, just come and kill me!

He never returned.

With time, everything started to fade away.

Two hundred years passed just like that. My grave is deserted. Those who heard about me had forgotten about me, while those who knew me had also lost their memories about me.

I had become a complete nobody in this world.

I worked diligently all my life, I worked to make the world a better place, yet I could not bring anything from this world along with me. I wanted to cry, yet I could not make a sound; I wanted to shout, yet it was impossible!

Haaa...

After so many years, I finally gained control over the mysterious power hidden in my bone marrow. I know I can make a comeback, but is that necessary?

I don't want to live, I want to die. I want death, a true death.

So, I used the power hidden in my marrow to write this message.

A warning for everyone who comes here, do not enter the Corpse Pyramid. It is built by a group of sinister people. I don't know what they are planning, but I can tell they are responsible for my mutation and my death.

Yes, they are responsible.

What a shocking discovery!

The Royal Family of the Great Flame Kingdom is actually an ally of this group of sinister people. So, everything I went through in my life was nothing more than a worthless sacrifice that was not needed.

Eh, how I wish someone to take revenge for me!

I just wish!
