Deranged Writer's Afterword

The reason why The Messiah was called, 'The Messiah' was because she was an agent of the Angels. She was their favorite hitman. If the angels wanted someone dead, they would employ The Messiah to do it. Of course, the common masses didn't know this fact. In their eyes, the messiah was just a crazy villain. She didn't mind working for the angels and to her, the angels were just like everyone else on this hell known as, ' Earth'

I know that finding the portal instead of her, would change her future, but I prioritize my future over hers and I'd be doing Max a huge favor as well by saving him the trouble of killing her when she's strong and I'm pretty sure that her death won't cause that many repercussions, the only change that would occur would be that the angels would hire a new hitman for doing their dirty business. By taking what was supposed to be hers, I was saving thousands of lives, I'm a goddamn hero.

Heh.

Feeling good about myself, I enter the portal with a knife in my hand that I had stolen from the orphanage's kitchen. I knew that the moment that I entered the dungeon, a group of death wisps would pounce on and I won't even be able to see them as the entire dungeon would be dark.

Just like I predicted, as soon as I entered the portal darkness engulfed me and I could see the outline of many insect-like things coming toward me. I hold the knife tightly and close my eyes.

I can hear the sound of the death wisps coming towards me and for the first time in my life ( This life!), I feel the fear of death creep up on me.

'' Kiek''

'''Kiek''

''Kiek''

The death wisps sounded ominous and I finally open my eyes to find thousands of them passing me. They had divided into two lines when they reached me, behind me the portal had disappeared, unless we clear the objective given by the dungeon we can't return. Therefore none of the death wisps could get outside.

I sigh internally as I think, ' It worked huh?''

Suddenly the scene in front of me changes into one that I'm very familiar with-

Wait.

Shit. Shit. Triple Shit.

The plan failed.

I curse myself for missing the mud-free part of my body.

I'm with my mother now.

My mother from my previous life.

We were at the city fair.

'' Wow, look at all these rides and stalls, John. Don't they all look wonderful ?''

'' They do, mommy.''

I feel my mouth move by itself,

My mother leads me to the Ferris wheel and buys a ticket for a single child and gives it to me before saying,

'' Why don't you go on that ride, John ?''

'' What about you, mommy ?''

Damn, my voice sounds cringy as hell.

'' I'll wait for you with ice cream.''

I nod my head excitedly and run towards the Ferris wheel, but before I could get near the Ferris wheel, my mother calls out to me.

'' Johnny, I love you.''

Her eyes were tearing up as she said this to me.

'' I love you too, mommy.''

Sigh, just abandon me already, you stupid bitch.

I enter the Ferris wheel and look down to see ' mommy' running past the fucking ice cream cart. Seeing this, my body starts involuntarily tearing up and I call out to my mother,

'' Mommy don't leave me...''

' This isn't real, This isn't real, This isn't real.'

Suddenly, I feel a prickly feeling arise from my hand. It soon turned into agonizing pain.

~~~~

I was back in the darkness. I could feel the blood flowing down my hands, I had stabbed myself. But that wasn't important right now. I reach for my neck, where I could feel a stinging sensation and remove the death wisp with force and crush it but not before saying,

'' Fuck you.''

I had brought the knife as a precaution. There were two ways to defeat the death wisps. One was to cover yourself with mud and the second one was to hurt yourself. The pain would break you out of the illusion and you just had to crush the insect.

The entire area lights up and I ignore my pain and walk toward the altar in the middle of the dungeon, where I could see two things, a ring, and a small notebook.

I grab them both and at that exact moment, the portal reappears and I go back to where I had come from. Before exiting the dungeon, I feel something warm running down my face.

Was I crying?

Just forget it, I have more important stuff to do.

As soon as I come back outside the portal, my status screen appears before me but instead of its usual blue color. This one was red.
