Cherreads

Chapter 16 - Epic of Terrors

Accumulating thirty minutes of continuous meditation, fully engaged in his focused subconsciousness.

Earned a total of 6.3 SP in just that short margin of time. Until, a new disaster fell on top of his corrupted fragile body, cursing him more and more. A curse much worse than the last one... well, this time, it was a trial failure!

Psychic: 0.4 (8 SP)

'Hehe, now... We are talking.' Not giving up to the fear of losing even the trial, he threw every and any inconvenient emotions aside to fully focus on this disaster that resembled a curse.

Shifting his gaze to his name's relic, willing it to expand. It instantly fulfilled his command.

[Name: Rashin]

[Thirst: 19]

[Hunger:9]>>>[Warning!]

'Hmm, so... the deadline of both thirst and hunger starts when it falls below 10. I get it now.' As his mind kept getting sharper, his thinking improved tremendously... of course, by comparing it to his fragile state.

Feeling deep in his corrupted mind something that was trying aptistically with all of its might to slide into a gap and devour Rashin's mind... it's corruption was just enough, and that thing would make it worse.

'Fear! Hehe, you won't pass this time... Sorry.'

Smiling nonchalantly as he challenged fear itself to overcome this disaster that would leave him with nothing in return if it devastated him.

With this nonchalant smile growing wider as his lips kept curling upwards gradually, Rashin uttered the name of his most beloved relic...

"Status..." The relic immediately responded to its master, expanding itself to aid Rashin in this disaster.

[Status]

Strength: 1.6 (19 SP)

Psychic: 0.4 (8 SP)

???: Locked

Rashin didn't bother looking at the locked aspect as it would do nothing for him… just a waste of time, and he needed time the most!

He also realized that he touched the roof of 2 SP made only from his efforts aside from the 10-minute reward which is still the best helper for him in this nightmarish state.

'Almost 7 hours had passed and I only have 2 SP. If not for that reward, I would be lost a long time ago…'

Indeed, it wasn't his best helper from nothing, yet even his helper couldn't aid him in this ferocious disaster.

'Think… Think… What should you do, Rashin?'

Pushing his thinking abilities to the maximum extent to be able to find a solution even if it was a form of another disaster in its way. But, any other disaster will be better than this one for sure.

Rashin spent 10 minutes thinking, but it was all in vain… he couldn't come out with a solution. Instead, his disaster kept growing worse and worse.

Rashin stared at his name's relic to see how long he had until his goodbye… which would be definite this time.

[Name: Rashin]

[Thirst:13/100]

[Hunger:3/100]>>>[Warning!]

'Hmm…' Rashin knew he had no time left to think at this moment, but seeing the hunger relic made him realize something vital!

'So… after the warning, my hunger will decrease by 2 points every two minutes… Impressive. Hehe.'

Laughing from within his subconscious mind, he smiled with a smirk as he realized at that moment that each minute would cost him getting weaker by hunger.

2 minutes for seeing his status and 10 more for thinking cost him a total of 6 hunger points… It's logical to think that way.

Glancing at the thirst relic, Rashin knew if hunger didn't kill him… thirst would!

'Hehe, it's now or never!' His eyes blacked out once more with a smile wider than his whole face.

Rashin looked like a terror himself. Watching him like this, no one will know who was the real terror… Rashin or his disaster or even his corrupted mind along with his fragile body.

A fight between terrors… who will win over the others?

Silent: "Well, I think the answer is obvious."

Being a terror himself, smiling and thinking like one. Despite every curse that strives to bring him down… Rashin found a way to counter!

Shifting his gaze to the main relics, especially one relic… Rashin knew what he was going to do.

[Deaths:160]

'If death can bring me to my best state even in this fragile body… then welcome, self-slaughter sessions. I shall initiate another one!'

Raising his right arm as always, blood dripped from his mouth, railing on his lips like a cliff, and then dropped all the way down to his neck. Adrenaline alongside anger and fury rushed in his veins to join the fight against their initial opponent, the soaring pain!

Posing his arm to deliver a punch that will definitely compress his fragile body's veins, shattering his mind, and causing it to shut down completely.

"I… cough! Am!" Coughing blood more and more, streams of blood rushed out of his mouth, coloring his blanket with more of his precious red liquid that he kept wasting without any mercy.

"Rashin!!" Declaring his name with a fragile shout-out, Rashin delivered his devastated blow into the air right above him. As if warning the terrors against him, Rashin uttered his name out loud to inform that he, himself, and they… are akin!

***

Coming back to his senses after two minutes, Rashin immediately raised his hand once again… not wasting any more time to accumulate his last death before failing the trial… or not!

[Deaths: 162]

After another two minutes of his second death, Rashin stopped murdering himself and kept smiling, smirking… grinning!

As if his opponents were silhouettes right in front of him… glancing at his death's meter and shifting it to his name's relic. Willing it to expand and see those relics for the last time…

"I… did everything… still… I… am… the real terror!"

Little did he know that he would lose anyway.

Oh, or not!
