Will I Always Be Weak?

Chapter 12. First Contact



I must have gotten lost admiring my gorgeous body! The changes were subtle, but still, it took a while to get used to. Unlike last time, I struggled with figuring out how to use this new body. I learnt that the flowers that grew only appeared on vegetable-like materials, so when I walked on stone or sand, nothing happened. After my evolution, it wasn't just my body that changed but some of my skills as well.

"What the hell?!" I scream. These skills are almost like they were made for me? Why in the world does my suffering effect the powers that I am given! Does this have something to do with the higher being that was watching me in the abyss when I first died? Do they have something to do with this? I am so confused and upset, but I have no right to complain; all my newly evolved skills are so good!

"All my race skills seem like they are supposed to be used together." I say to myself. My claws and my tail both implant misery into enemies' souls, and so do demons fears. My eye allows me to stay safe but also lets me to practically see how much health an enemy has by the tint of there soul. The darker the soul is, the closer they are to defeat. Also, is this garden of misery that the descriptions keep mentioning the same one I walked through during my dream? Is there some sort of connection?

"AH!"

A scream echoed through the forest. I was still busy looking through my skills when this ear-piercing screech came from a few hundred meters away. I looked in the direction of the scream, and a few seconds later, another scream came from the same place. It seemed like the screams were getting closer and closer.

"Why is there someone in the forest? especially at this time?" I ask

I just stand there pondering the question, and a few seconds later I see a young girl that looked no older than ten emerge from a bush. She had tears running down her face, and with my new gardener's eye, I could tell that she almost had no more will left. When her eyes locked with my own, I saw her soul turn pitch black. My aura must have effected her. She began sobbing and dropped to her knees, her hands covering her eyes. From behind her, a tainted wolf came jumping out from the way the girl came. The beast must have been the one chasing her; as it landed, it began to go for the kill. Before the wolf reached the girl, I activated my demons fear ability and watched the beast freeze. I made sure to only direct it at it so the girl wouldn't be effected too. The wolf began to tremble and whimper; I made my presence stronger, and the wolf's body completely halted. The beast yelled and fell to the ground; it was foaming from the mouth, and I could tell its heart had stopped beating; my presence was to much for the animal to handle. i walked towards the girl, and as someone I loved appeared in my thoughts, I reached out my hand towards her.

"It's okay, I won't hurt you."

"I promise"
