Deranged Writer's Afterword

The world seems to hate me.

It’s been more than a year since I entered this dungeon and started training under Luna, there have been so many hurdles.

I can’t even use mana because of the surgery.

All I could do without mana was train the movements, but that was hard to do without….mana.

‘Hup’

Right now, I’m training as usual.

That’s all I seem to be doing these days.

The Spear Of Desecration had ten movements.

Birth.

Ordinance.

Deviance.

Transgression.

Defiance.

Death.

Afterlife.

Regression.

Rebirth.

Desecration.

These ten movements were all interconnected in a complex manner, from what I’ve learned till now…this was more like a dance than an actual technique and to be really….really honest, I enjoy learning them.

In my last life, dancing wasn’t something that I had much interest in but if I knew that it was this fun….I really would have given it a try.

I’m a little worried about the ‘mana’ situation but Georna did say that my body would stabilize sooner or later…..so it shouldn’t be a problem.

I’m more worried about Mr. demon prince, I’ve thought about it a great deal and it all makes sense now, he must have helped me out with the Enchantress that time…..the only question that remained was…..what the fuck did he want with me?

Also, why exactly is he holed up inside my body?

I also thought about how happy Tiana would be to learn that her father was ‘alive’ but after thinking about it even more…I realized that telling her or any demon about him was not the way to go.

They could betray me….

I need to stop thinking about other things and concentrate now.

“ Adam….”, I turned around to find Lydia behind me, “ Luna’s called for a meeting….come to the cave.”

I nod and go back to my training.

I want to complete this set first.

“ I’ve taught you both everything that you need this past year, now all you have to do is train and increase your mastery over the level.”, Luna said matter of factly.

……..

“ Adam…..that means we can leave.”, Lydia said, smiling slightly.

…………..

………….

“ Adam ?”

“ Huh ?”

Luna and Lydia exchange a concerned glance.

“ I said that we can leave now…”

………….

“ No.”

“ What ?”, she asked incredulously.

“ We can’t leave now…..I need more time.”

“ Time for wha-”, she started but I didn’t wait for her to finish.

I don’t have time to waste.

I need to get back to my training.

My heart was beating a little too fast.

Sweat slowly rolled down my body as the uncomfortable feeling rising in my chest refused to go down. Fortunately, it went away as soon as I held my spear again.

‘Sigh’

It’s time to get back to training.

‘Hup

“ I’m worried about Adam…”, Lydia said, her brows knitted in a frown, “ It’s like he’s addicted to training….and he’s the laziest person I know….so it’s weird.”

Luna said nothing back.

“ Aren’t you going to do something ?”, Lydia asked, brows raised.

……..

“ No….some things have to be overcome alone.”

~~~~

I’m done with training for the day.

Rest is just as important since it’s vital for a successful training session.

I’ve stopped sleeping in the cave with the others, now I just sleep in my clearing. This is where I train, sleep and eat….I’ve gotten quite attached to this place.

‘Thump’

I leaned against a tree and stared up at the night sky which was littered with millions of stars.

It really is beautiful no matter how many times I see it…..

As I thought about various things, I suddenly remember something that I had been putting off for a while now,

I open my sub-space and reach into it searching for a little something that I had put into it a while back.

‘Aha..’, feeling the slimy material, I pull it out revealing a fresh heart.

I observed the still warm heart with slight disgust, I had taken it off from Greydor after I had killed him….

The moonlight fell on the heart giving it a slight glow.

……..

……..

Now….just what should I do with this?
