Chapter 8
I woke up to my last checkpoint, the same day we went on the mission in.
I quickly grabbed my phone to call Yarelia, and
I felt relieved, she was fine and well, but I know that won't be for too long.
The Day went the same as It was, From taking the advices from Luicid, to Naming the team and accepting the mission.
During Naming the team
Yarelia: What if we called ourselves, the outsiders?
Nora: I like it.
Gerald: Feels a little weird, but if everyone likes it then sure.
Kota:...…
"...Kota? What do you think?" Yarelia asked.
"Huh? Oh... yeah. The Outsiders sounds good," I said.
We Went toward the Mission, I decided not to tell Yarelia so she won't feel worried.
Despite my intention to change everything, Silver managed to take Yarelia.
I dashed again toward them but, I knew what was coming.
I managed to dodge Kaisel first attack, but I had to sacrifice a Leg in the process.
Kaisel didn't stop at this, He attacked me with another fast red flash and took away my life.
5th life
Kota: Alright that didn't work, let's try again.
This time, when we entered the dungeon, I made sure to have a resistance potion with me which I drank, after Orien appeared, But in the end Silver still took Yarelia.
This time, Kaisel wasn't the one who killed me, I did!!!
Over and over and over, in every life I kept failing in stopping them,
70th life
I Warned the others about the attack, we still failed
120th life
I managed to refuse taking the mission or switch it with another one, Valkors still appeared and Took yarelia, and I suicided
After over 550 life
I sat on my bed, with a dagger in my hand, the dagger I used to kill myself with.
Looking at my arms full with scars, Traveling back in time doesn't erase The wounds I receive, only the fatal ones, but even those leave scars.
Kota: I have lost count of the times I died, but I must continue, I have to...…
At this point, I don't know what happened to me anymore, I barely talked. Always isolated myself from others, Even when they were Naming the team I just told them whatever name they choose is fine and continued training.
When we went on the mission again and Yarelia got kidnapped.
The girls were crying, Boys were sad and angry. But I stood staring at them feeling hollow with my Katana that was now a broken blade.
No anger, No tears and no pain, I felt nothing at all.
In this day, on our way to the association we met luicid and Mira.
Mira Rushed forward hugging everyone at once.
Mira: Thank God, you all are fine.
Kota: Not everyone, Yarelia is taken.
Mira: What????
Luicid: So, We came late, If only we had gotten here sooner.
Kota: What do you mean?.
Luicid: After some investigations, we found out the Mission was a trap, We were tricked, All of us.
I Grabbed Luicid from his clothes and Talked angrily with him.
Kota: So, It was all you damn fault.
Kota: WHY COULDN'T YOU DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY??????
Mira: Kota, Calm do---
Kota: SHUT UP, It's also your fault, If you guys---
Before I could finish my sentence, Nora slapped me.
Nora (Crying Strongly): Kota, Calm down, You are not the only one hurt by her kidnap, She was my best friend, the one I spent a lot of time with, Even more time than you did….
Nora then Ran toward the Car that we came in.
Everyone from the team followed her up except me.
Luicid: Mira, Go with the kids and take them back to the association, I want kota.
Mira: Please, Take care of him!!!
Luicid Nodded
Luicid: Get in my car.
Kota: I don't want to.
Luicid: This is an order, GET IN THE CAR.
I entered the car, I didn't have strength to argue back, broken by how many times I died and different plans I used, I couldn't think.
And I unfortunately, Fell asleep. With this I lost my chance to repeat the Day and Try to stop the kidnap.
Afterall, The Kidnapping was an impossibe event to prevent from happening, it had to happen one way or another, no matter how many times I try to prevent it.
When I woke up, I found out luicid drove me to grave yard.
Luicid: Step outside.
I left the car as he told me, Feeling depressed and hurt, not knowing what to do anymore.
Maybe I was not even the hero in the first place? Maybe I should have left everyone die in the first loop and killed my self along….
All those thoughts filled my mind, making me feel insane.
Luicid took my hand and Led me toward a Grave.
Luicid: Read the name!!
Kota: Lora Marwell, I don't underst---
Kota: Wait, Marwell??? Don't tell me she is…..
Luicid: Yes, My sister, My Younger sister…..
Luicid: She was a Talented swordwoman, I never matched her when it came to swords,
that's why I switched to magic, Especially the ice magic.
Which I had great affinity with.
Kota: Why.. Why are you showing me this?
Luicid: You heard about my nickname?
Kota: Duke of north, I did…
Luicid: Well, Lora was my only family, she was the world to me.
Luicid: The day I lost her, Was the day I lost everything, Even my emotions and I became a Killing machine like how I was told before.
And the only thing she left behind was her sword, The one I carry on my waist, I never used it but I kept it next to me, It's a valuable thing for me.
Kota: So, That's Why you were able to give me Advices about swordmanship….
Luicid: I used to watch her a lot and those advices were not mine, they were the advices she gave to me.
Kota: Luicid can I ask you something?.
Luicid: Go ahead.
Kota: How did you meet Mira?
Luicid: In a forest, I was investigating about a monster, that ran destroyed a village, And that's where I found a woman on the grass, unconscious.
Me and my team took her under our care, we found her with no class so we thought she was just an ordinary citizen and were going to send her home.
One day when me and my team were thinking and planning trying to figure where we could find that monster, Mira heard us.
She rushed to the room, And started talking, at first my commander at that time wanted to kick her, but the words she said left us amazed.
We suspected that the monster could be in one of seven different areas, but her words narrowed them down to two only.
She was a Talented Strategist, Because of her we found the monster and took it down before it cause more damage
Instead of sending her home away, The commander Asked me to take her under my care, And She became a member of the team I led.
And well, Despite being cold, She got closer to me and slowly, I started to feel like the world still has light in it.
Some things happened, here and there and in the end we ended up married.
Kota: That's a really beautiful story…
Luicid: Thank you, But you know, I only told you to show to you, when things get darker, you will eventually find the light.
And About The first Time we met, When I was rude to you, I ---
Kota: You didn't want me to end up dead, that's why you were harsh, right?
Luicid: You got me in that..
Luicid Gave me a headpat.
And somehow this conversation we had, Made us both feel relieved.
We both were hurt, in Different ways, but one of us found his light again, while the other is still drowning in the darkness.
Luicid Took me back to the association, I could still see my friends crying.
Even Meva and Maya were crying.
I walked toward Mira and Bowed down.
Kota: Mira, I am sorry….
Mira: For???
Kota: I was rude back in the forest, i---
Mira: And I am not angry Kota….
To me you are a little brother, Doing such actions is normal between siblings, just as long as you learnt from it then I am fine with that.
I also Turned toward everyone and Apologized, Especially Nora
Kota: Nora, I am really sorry.
Nora: It's alright, Kota, It wasn't your fault.
Kota: i.. I promise you, Valkors will pay…..
Kota: Even if it's the last thing I have to do….
Nora (Crying): Mhmm…..
And with this, I was Determined, To Defeat Valkors, They were outsiders which was something I ignored for a while, But I didn't care, If they try and hurt my friends, I will kill them…..
Inside A dark Castle.
Twin: Did you bring the girl?
Morven: We did lord alfar, She is inside the lab right now..
Alfar(Twin): Great….. , Little Author, This is going to be fun, Kekekeke!!!!
