Poison With Poison [Transmigration]

Arc 3 : The king

Notice. Due to the system malfunction the hosts hopping function has been temporarily subdued, however due to the actions committed penalty has been issued.

Extracting the host from the world to begin penalty.

Error! Error! Error! Err-

'I don't know what happened, i feel like I'm floating out of nowhere'.

'sapphire where are you?'

Penalty mission initiating, host function continued.

He awoke in the library, Familiar almost as if he had once threaded upon these very floors. The smell of leaves and dust was what clustered his nose. The minute detail of everything in his vicinity in perpetual decay.

'who am i? What is my purpose?'

The young man questioned. Laying down the cold wood floor. Abruptly he rose. Walking towards the shelves covered in millenia of dust and powder. Something caught his eye. It was a book glowing in red, what was in there he questioned while walking towards it.

The young man opened the book and there it was. Blue texts that is akin to magic, mysterious and mystical. What was this? He questioned furrowing gis brows incapable of deciphering the words relayed by the book.

He seemed to focus in this plight that he didnt even hear the sound of footsteps, or perhaps. The one responsible deliberately concealed its sound.

“dear, why are you here? I was looking all over for you! Lets go back now”

The young man looked at the man responsible for the voice. The pale young man was in guard, His body was telling him to run yet why should he?
“dear lets go back shall we?” inching closely and threading steadily upon the stiff young man reaching out to grab him.

’I dont know why but my body is telling me to run’ the stiff young man decided upon then and there that he would escape here. He didnt like the way this sinister man affected him. Yes he must escape, he had a feeling this was his only chance if he ever hoped to be rid of him.

Without announcement he ran.

His chest pounding in anxiety, he was sweating even in this chilly atmosphere.
Thrudging down the halls of this dark castle.

-------

Amidst the dark hallways a breath could be heard. Panting and noises of struggle were prevalent as well as a sense of urgency.

After what seemed like a long time. The young man finally halted his steps, His white hair was clinging to his forehead and cold sweat drenched his neck.
Tired after that climactic chase he leaned into the walls for support.

' this is bad if that lunatic catches me i dont know what will happen. '

The young man contemplated. His ecosyence and why he even was in this situation in the first place.

Bright red light was blaring at this moment. The exhausted Aoi looked at the source of this glare. It was a room. The door was half way closed, making it sure that the contents of said room was still visible but only slightly.

The light beckoned at the young man who was in a trance. And without him even noticing he arrived towards that source. The door creaked eerily.

The lught was in the form of a book with opened pages. There seemed to be a message hidden within. slowly he approached, until he was in front of the table holding the item. There were strange marks written in the book.

And oddly he felt like he can understand it.

'you are in danger, you who have entered this world seeking to repair your fragment. What awaits you is peril.'

There was something pounding. His heart was moving rapidly, he can decipher the contents of this page.

'run... Run as far away as you can!'

A noise was heard. And a man was sitting across from him walking closely towards him, and adorned was a stoic face.

Leisurely making his way to the youth,

Then suddenly he stopped the man looked at the 'intruder' and smiled.

“you must be confused, why dont you sit for a while? Rest.”

the man stood up “after all we wouldn't want the 'visitor' to have an unpleasant experience while traveling 'our' world.“

the young man looked bewildered.

“how did- no.“

before the two can continue their conversation

“dear! Why did you run away!?! You worried me.“

the man from earlier showed up he was smiling... Although there was something wrong with the glint of his sockets.

“Let's go back to sleep shall we?“

that was the last thing the young man heard before succumbing to slumber.
