Shadows of our end - KDA x Male Reader (Original)

Act 2 - 004

*** 830 days later ***

Standing near the corpse of a Dragon Leviathan. Shadows oozing out of all the gaping holes in its body. A part of me wonders if I can make it mine. I have been fighting it for hours now and I haven't broken a sweat.

It was just incredibly hard to pierce its thick scales. Even after killing it, it didn't take long for every creature in the area to come feast on it. I have sent my clones to take care of it for the moment.

Just East of me there is an even larger chasm and I need this one to get me over it. I travelled for a day on Buddy and still didn't reach any form of landmass. I am going to need something bigger in case I meet something bigger.

I don't want to travel for days but rather get there as quickly as possible - I am not terrified of what may lurk below the chasm. I can kill it if it comes for me.

How long do I have to go until I get out of here - I haven't forgotten why I am surviving but it starting to feel like I am becoming a god in this world rather than returning home.

I haven't stopped looking.

I promise.

I have been trying to come home to all of you... if you even remember me.

I then lift myself as I see the shadows fully covering the corpse of the Leviathan and it resurrects from the ground while I leave the creatures to feast on the corpse. I order it to come to me while it lowers its head to meet me.

I place my hand against its snout, "Do you have thoughts? Can you think?"

It nods.

"So you do have sentience. Can you talk to me?"

It shakes his head.

"So you can understand me but I can't understand you?" I scoff, then climb up to its back. "Go that way," I point, "Speedy please."

I then chuckle, "Your name is Speedy now. For good luck, because I need to get out of this fucking place already."

It stretches out its wings and starts flying towards it. I don't like this... I am feeling pretty anxious.

I grin to myself as I feel my heart racing, "Haven't felt this... anxious in a long time. Where are you now Jhin? I haven't forgotten about you and you and Troy are the first fuckers I will be dragging through the dirt."

I walk toward the wing staring down at the chasm below, I can see something move down there. Honestly... the reason why I went through the effort of killing this Leviathan was to use it as bait to get whatever was down there to come to me.

I want to see it.

I want to know what else this world is hiding.

I want to be stronger.

Only then can I go back when I can break reality and crawl through the cracks to get back home - I will come back home. I will. I stopped counting but it feels like two years and maybe a couple of months are gone. A rough estimate yeah.

But I just want to go home. I don't even care if they don't remember me... even if I get to see their faces. Rebuild everything I lost.

And kill that son of a bitch for costing me all that time away from everyone - the time I could have spent building a relationship with any of them. I'll kill you. I  don't care how painful but you will suffer.

Even if they don't believe me. It won't stop me.

Then I heard it again - the noise that made me go back as quickly as possible. The same distant sounds made me reconsider spending days flying over this just to jump-scare me. I am a pretty big target right now.
