Super Spark of Duper Pride [OB] - Act I: Motivation

3-N: Horrific Abuse (Wyrm 9)

Wyrm 9:

Why?

Well, I do know why.

Skanda-sama told me everything.

About the sins of this world, about the reason we are here.

But still, why?

What happened to you?

After eating the catfish and the fruit, I felt so satisfied I fell asleep.

When I woke up, I noticed my bedroom had been reinforced.

The exit now has a lid to cover it, to hide the bedroom.

Must be the defences he said he would set up to protect me while he was busy evolving.

I sleepily opened the 'door' to the 'main hall' and saw Skanda-sama there, facing the other way.

He is no longer purely jet black, a white skull pattern can be seen on his back.

He was radiating an intense presence, but I had just assumed that his aura of Fear had gotten stronger with Evolution.

I called out to him to see if he was awake.

His intense gaze as he turned around to look at me sent a shiver down my spine.

His aura of Fear that I had grown used to, to the point where I would find safety and comfort in, now drives me to despair.

"Gah!"

I screamed, as Skanda-sama stabbed me with one of his scythes.

I tried to hit back, to get him to back off, but he just dodged my breath attack and stabbed me again, right in the heart.

"Ugh..."

I don't even have the energy to scream in pain anymore, and I collapse on the spot.

Skanda-sama stops attacking me at the same time and drops off some 'food' in front of me.

The 'sparring' is over and he leaves with teleportation after healing the worst of my injuries, but not fully healing me.

My training now, if you can even call it that with how brutal it has become, consists mainly of fighting Skanda-sama.

Yeah, we 'spar' all the time now.

And he holds back just enough not to kill, but with how extreme he is you would think he is legit trying to kill me for real.

For the first time in my new life, I have faced the fear of death, by the hands of the person I trusted the most.

It was one thing to almost drown, to die of apathetic natural cause.

But to have someone stare at me with so much hate in their eyes, the idea of someone hating me so much they want to kill me, it's terrifying.

And I feel so betrayed, not that I have the courage to tell him.

Whenever I am too beaten up to fight anymore, he would just toss me some food, heal me just enough so I won't die, and teleport away, probably to hunt Monsters in the Lower Stratum and train himself at the same time.

He expects me to do most of the healing myself and I would have to eat these disgusting snailbugs as he called them to raise my [Rot Resistance].

They are so awful, I want to die.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Please, go back to normal, Skanda-sama.

I don't want to lose you too.
