Power Built In Sorrow (Male Reader Insert)

Chapter 33

"Where the hell am I?" You groaned, holding your head in pain. Your eyes open and see a rickety wooden ceiling, "It seems someone found me and took me in. Who's stupid enough to take in the Godkiller?" You exclaim.

"*Knock* That stupid person would be me. Arashi Akuma, nice to meet you too." A man said, leaning on the doorway. He has a stern but wary look on his face, saying that he knows your identity. He just doesn't give a fuck about harboring who might be one of the most dangerous people in Orario.

"Well, thanks anyway, I'll be going now." You said, standing up to leave, but the man stops you.

"Yeah, no, not happening. You're already here, so recover fully. I don't want to haul your heavy ass back here if you collapse again." He complained, pushing you back. You grit your teeth. Even though he saved you, he has no right to tell you what to do.

"Listen, pal! There are dangerous creatures down there that need killing. I can't let them reach the upper floors because adventurers can't handle them." You argued, pushing him back so you can pass through.

"You mean these creatures?" He asked, throwing you the head of a Juggernaut, "This the thing that almost killed you, right? They're difficult to kill, but not impossible." He reasoned. You stare in shock at the head and look back at him. He has this bland expression that somehow felt like he's mocking you.

"So you're not just a regular bozo down here trying to rip off adventurers with absurdly high prices." You said, dropping the juggernaut's head down on the ground, "What's a high-class adventurer like you doing down here?" You continued, picking up your scythe from the ground.

"That's none of your business. But I do want to join you on this little mission." He asserted. You scoff.

"And you have no business in joining this little mission." You spat, pushing him away so you can get out. He grabs your shoulder.

"This is the dungeon. This is everyone's business." He argued. Pulling you back. You glare at him.

"This dungeon might be for everyone, but the person causing this is my problem and mine alone!" You said with a forced smile as you slapped his hand away, "Besides, these things are too strong for any of you. You might've killed one, but fighting these in swarms will surely get you killed."

"You're underestimating adventurers. What makes you think we're weak if you haven't seen us in action!" He insisted through gritted teeth, grabbing your shoulder again, but now, he hardens his grip. Out of anger, you turn around and point the tip of the scythe under his chin.

"Why don't we test your strength then?" You threaten. But before any of you can start the fight, a huge boulder is thrown at the two of you. Luckily, both are skilled enough to dodge it.

"My house!!" The man shouted in distress. He growls, glaring at the juggernaut. The man turns to you and stares you in the eyes, "I guess this is also my business now!" He growled, shoving you back as he sprinted to the enemy.

- You watch closely to see how this man has taken down a beast that you are sure other adventures will fail to destroy. You watch in anticipation as he gets closer and closer to the juggernaut -

[With Arashi]

"I can't believe I'm relying on this skill again." He sighed, shaking his head in disbelief, "After months of trying to control it, I'm letting it free again. Well, it's not like they'll take me back even if I did change."

- Arashi sprints to the juggernaut. It retaliates by swinging a left hook. He catches the rocky fist with his hands, but the monster is overpowering him, looking behind, he sees you with a smug look -
