Chapter 47: Ch 47: I Just Wish!

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?

I am alive, but I am dead as well. I can't move, I can't eat, I can't smell, and I can't see. I can only sense, sense the presence of soil, air, life, and death.

I waited, waited for the day my soul truly dissipated to come.

Three years went by. My body had already decayed. My grave was exposed to wind and rain. Occasionally people come to my grave, however, they remember me not as a human, but as a monster who used to kill people and eat them.

As the years went by, several people stopped coming. Even if they came, they would curse me and say with relief that it was better that a monster like me was dead. Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos.

Is that really the truth?

They don't know the truth at all.

They don't know that I become the so-called monster just to protect them.

They don't know that if not for me, the Great Flame Kingdom would have long since burned into ashes in the flame of war.

They don't know they are alive only because I sacrificed everything for them, to protect them, to stop the war.

Yes, they don't know, but the Royal Family does know the truth. They were there when I risked my humanity, mutated to become a monster, just to save the land that should have been protected by them. They promised me to clear my name if I die. They promised to record my name in the Book of Heros who died to protect the kingdom.

I trusted them, but they betrayed me!

Why is my name still not clear?

Why have I become the monster?

Why?

A hundred years has passed. I am still waiting. My body is no longer there, leaving only my skeleton. Those who remembered me had long since forgotten my face. They do reminisce about me, but not as the hero I was supposed to be, but as a monster who almost destroyed the kingdom.

One day, a person came to my grave. I was unable to see his face due to the cloak he was wearing.

What a surprise. Unlike other people, he could actually see me, and sense my existence.

He dug my skeleton out of my grave. He did not do this to revive me or to do something in my favor.

No!

He dug out my skeleton because he found out that my bones were very different. Marrow is still present in my bones, but they are no ordinary marrow. If they are refined into medicine, they can bring about miracles.

He wanted to extract my marrow, however, another person whose appearance cannot be seen appeared. Both of them fought and heavily injured each other. No one won the battle. One of them left with injuries.

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!
