A horde of orcs was seen ganging up on a large man with dark-night skin.
None of the two groups were unharmed and neither of them had complete limbs, some had lost their arms, some lost their shoulders, some lost their legs, and some of them were still fighting even with holes in their stomachs. Even so, they still hit each other with savage eyes.
Each smack of the man's hand sent the orcs flying but they soon landed smoothly before charging forward again. Even though the orcs couldn't penetrate the man's tough skin, they could still hurt him by attacking the wound in his thigh and at his decapitated shoulder.
They are like ants that are slowly tearing the grasshopper's body apart. Even so, the man seemed to know no pain and continued to rage.
Jon watched the battle from a distance, he was looking at the orcs digging Jon's flesh from a third-person point of view. Weird isn't it? Jon is looking at Jon.
But for him, this is not strange. He had been in this state for more than 20 years. Seeing his stupid self hanging out with Bon, seeing how his stupid self fought like an animal, and seeing how his stupid self let Bon be killed.
No one was aware of its existence.
Not because he has the ability to be invisible but because he is currently just Jon's alter ego that was formed due to outbursts of anger and mana instability in his body.
How did he get this strange ability? How did he come to be like this?
Well.. how to explain it huh?? Hmm.. maybe we start with "Sometimes reality is crueler than nightmare" and end with "They are very creative, you know?".
So...
Sometimes reality is crueler than a nightmare.
When Bon and his group arrived at the Bog forest what they encountered were five mages surrounding them. Without warning the five mages attacked Bon and his group.
Bon and Jon try to fight back but they are still too weak to face off against five experienced mages.
The two of them ended up unconscious after seeing the rest of their group brutally murdered. Some were burned alive, some were skinned alive, and some were mutilated alive. What they do can't longer be categorized as murder to take someone's life but as an art that aims to find the maximum combination of pain that can be given to the human body and..
They are very creative, you know?
Goku and Boku manage to tie Jon's one remaining hand with their songket. Then they pulled him with all their might and managed to stop Jon's hand from moving. Yagnar climbed on Jon's back and pinned his neck. Gul and Vakgar hugged Jon's legs and held him still.
Then Mige with a sharp stone in his hand stabbed Jon's injured thigh and widened it. Swa climbed on Vakgar's back and bit the flesh of Jon's decapitated shoulder.
Jon screeched in pain as his flesh was torn apart by the orcs. With all his might he pulled out his right hand and threw Goku and Boku flying. Then he grabbed Swa's nape and hit his head on the ground. But before he had time to kick Gul and Vakgar, Yagnar stabbed and make a hole in one of his eyes.
Jon's blood spurted everywhere, soaking the orcs who had been waiting for their turn to tear Jon's body apart. A sight that can be said as a nightmare but..
Sometimes reality is crueler than a nightmare.
Jon wakes up in a very dark place with only one torch shining from the far end of the room. His body hung with his hands and feet chained.
Jon couldn't move.
With his eyes still blurry, Jon saw Bon prostrating himself like a dog in front of a man in a black robe. The man said something to Bon that Jon couldn't hear.
Then a masked man came into his bars with an injection. Jon didn't know what the injection was filled with but his instincts told him he was going to feel pain like he'd never felt before.
The black-robe man pointed at Jon and said something to Bon.
Jon only heard the black-robed man's voice faintly "if you... not do it.. pain will.. brother" Bon's face turned pale but still shook his head in denial.
The black-robed man just kept quiet and turned his head towards the masked man. The masked man nodded and injected Jon with the needle.
After that...
Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain...
Jon didn't know how loud he was screaming but his tongue tasted the blood from his shattered throat.
Jon's screams made Bon's face even paler. He kowtowed towards the black-robed man but he didn't respond. Bon, keep kowtowing until his head bleeding but the man still didn't respond. Finally, Bon took off the man's pants and grabbed his cock before he put it in his mouth.
Jon didn't understand what was happening, his mind which filled with pain had time to ask why Bon's mouth which could produce beautiful words was used to suck the man's dirty dick. But now Jon is starting to understand that...
They are very creative, you know?
The orcs managed to make Jon lay facing the sky. They surrounded him like ants over sugar.
Jon could only roar in anger and try to struggle but he didn't have the strength anymore. Hard skin spells begin to fade as Jon's mana reserves are running low.
Swa hit Jon in the face with a rock until all of his front teeth were broken. Mige stabs Jon's one remaining eye. Yagnar stabbed Jon's decapitated shoulder with his blunt bone knife. Vakgar tried to tear the gaping wound on Jon's thigh with his hand. The other orcs tried to hold, hit, bite, and rip Jon apart with their remaining limbs.
The blood that came out of Jon's body had formed a pool of blood in this land of avalanches. The orc's entire body turned red drenched in blood. They didn't even know whose blood it was, their own blood, Jon's blood, or their brother's blood. No one knows and no one cares. All that could be heard were the sound of groans and flesh being torn apart. They are united in the rhythm of a cruel orchestra. But...
Sometimes reality is crueler than a nightmare.
Jon wakes up in the same place again. At the end of the room, under the torch that was the only light in this dark room, Bon was seen being crucified on a pole. His body was naked with his hands and feet tied tightly with chains.
Jon could only stare at his brother because his neck was chained tightly like a dog.
From behind the shadow the black-robed man came back and carried a big knife in his hand, the masked man followed behind him like a good servant, in his hand was a tray carrying 3 unidentified pieces of meat.
The stench of the meat made Bon's nose wrinkle. The strange shape looks very disgusting. Green mucus sometimes gushes out of the meat and spreads a very pungent odor.
The masked man placed the tray in front of Jon. He told Jon to eat the meat. Of course, Jon refuses, who can eat rotten meat with green pus gushing out of it? But his refusal became something he deeply regretted.
The black-robed man grabbed Bon's dick and cut it off. Bon's screams of pain filled the dark room. Blood gushed from his crotch. Bon's face quickly paled and his screams weakened. His body trembled as the blood keep pouring out of his crotch.
Jon knows that they are punishing Bon because he disobeyed the masked man's orders, as before Jon was punished because Bon disobeyed the black-robed man's orders.
With shaking hands Jon picked up a piece of rotten meat on the tray and put it in his mouth. Jon wanted to swallow it right away so he can't feel the taste.
After that....
Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain...
The meat feel like came to life and ripped Jon's stomach from the inside. Jon's screams of pain could be heard filling the dark room.
Jon's consciousness almost disappeared but he forced his body to stay awake because there were still two more pieces of rotten meat on the tray.
They wouldn't have stopped Bon's blood if Jon hadn't eaten all the rotten meat on the tray.
With his body shaking with the pain Jon grabbed two pieces of meat with both hands and swallowed them all at once.
After that....
Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain... Pain.. Pain... Pain...
Jon saw his body writhing in pain like a burning worm. The shriek that came out of his shattered vocal cords sounded like someone was gargling. Blood gushed from his mouth and erupted like magma in a volcano. The veins seemed to be pulled out of his skin before being burned by mercury. His body turned into a terrifying creature, Abomination.
But Jon didn't feel it, the pain his brain was receiving had exceeded its maximum limit. So in order to save his consciousness, Jon's brain automatically uses all of the mana in his body to create a new alter ego that can only see but not feel.
That's the origin of why he is currently formed. A creature that came from a pain that is impossible to contain with their human bodies, a wraith.
Jon thought that this was the worst suffering he would ever receive. But he was wrong because...
They are very creative, you know?
The orcs saw Jon who was unable to move anymore. Even so, Jon's hollow eyes still stared at them with hatred that gave the orcs goosebumps.
Swa climbed onto Jon's chest with his one remaining hand. Mige gave the bone knife to him and Swa took it with his mouth. Another orc helped to straighten up Swa's body.
With a shaky breath, Swa looked into Jon's hollow eyes which were filled with hatred and resentment "I don't know what happened to you but I know how it feels to lose a brother.
We don't have any grudge against you but this is the destiny that god gave us. We are a fighter race! We were born to fight! We wake to fight! We eat to fight! We train to fight! We fuck to fight! We will die in battle! and That's our fucking destiny!!
With your death, we will no longer be afraid of mages. With your death, the monsters will no longer be afraid of mana species. Know that your death is very precious to us and we will not waste it."
Jon's body stopped trembling, he seemed to understand what Swa was saying to him. Jon's angry roar stop and opened his mouth. All of Jon's teeth were broken and there was a lot of blood in his mouth.
Swa understood what Jon wanted. He held the knife high before plunging it into Jon's mouth with all his might.
STABB!!
The knife pierced Jon's flesh and broke his neck.
The battle of the orcs versus Jon and Bon is over.
