Dhhshwhw forced myself to write this with no inspiration...

I don't think I will ever reliably write.

Oh yeah, also, at the end of this chapter, I have something important to say.

React looked in the hole in Horror's skull, as he cringed.

"Stars, what even caused damage like that?"

"Spear."

"Oh."

....

There was an awkward silence, as React sighed at the exaggerated dramatic tension.

"You know, I expected a lot more of someone from another multiverse. All I see is a high amount of LV, mainly gained from killing humans, and the complete lack of the lust trait in your soul."

"What did you expect?"

Horror tapped his fingers on the table he was sitting on impatiently, mainly out of habit.

"I don't know. Futuristic technology? A multiverse in complete harmony, without anything like...you? Maybe even like, I dunno, a runaway god?"

Horror held in his snicker at the 'runaway god part'.

Because there really was a runaway god.

Error.

Now the 'former' forced god of destruction.

He probably is okay right now.

After spending a millennia fighting, he must be very sick of it.

...

Horror is sick of fighting too.

"I could only eat humans in my AU. There was nothing left to eat."

React seemed to pity him, but not fully. Since, well, he still murdered people, technically.

"Well, I don't think I can help your cause, knowing your whole group most likely is filled with Sanses who have high levels of LV, I presume. This is extremely hazardous, you know."

"I know."

"I know you know. Monsters with high LV tend to be insane or mad, and have a hard time controlling themselves to not kill others. That's why Muse helped eliminate AUs where such things happened."

Wait.

What?

Eliminate?

Horror looked at React, this time looking slightly afraid.

This means that if they were to run into Muse...

...

He would kill them.





And would have no hesitation on doing so.

"Would Muse kill us?"

"Probably. I'm not joining because if I do, Muse will probably kill me too. Oh, and and that's if one of you doesn't get to me first. Considering your origins, I'm surprised you haven't jumped on me like a feral beast yet."

Horror looked down, slightly guilty.

After all, most assume he's just that.

A crazed animal.

Some even assumed that Nightmare even trained him like a dog.

Horror started getting a migraine, as he scratched in an area close to the hole in his head.

"I'm not an animal."

"I hope not."

...

It seems that if they were to ever work together, they would have a very, very strained relationship.

He doubted React could get along with everyone.

This was a bad idea. He should've expected everyone to not understand what they've been through.

To not understand the pain. The torture.

The pure agony of knowing that the one who created you doesn't care about you, and that the only way to prevent the destruction of your own AU and to survive yourself is to become a 'bad guy'.

"...I think I should go."

"No, not yet. A monster like you should be dead with such a wound before. Judging from everything I've observed, the injury happened before you were even LV 2. This means that you had 1 up like the rest of us. It puzzles me."

Horror's shifted his gaze towards the ground.

Of course. He's only interested just because he's different and not from here. Not like he cares...

This was a pain to write. Nice.

Anyway, time for the super important message.

Recently, an older sibling of mine basically sort of came out as a furry on discord. A bunch of people sent death threats to her because of it.

I'm worried.

I'm hoping for any advice. Please. It would help.

Thank you for reading my small plea for help, and this bad chapter.

Seriously. I mean it.

Thank you.
