My hands sweat from anxiety, the situation is worse than any university exam i did before, i aproach Kael looking away from his eyes.
He takes a step forward to sheld his brother from me in a protective way.
" I am not here to fight, please lisen to me. "
He histates looking at my expression trying to analyze what im thinking, he sighs and nods.
" It says we can chose sacrifice but it doesn't specify that it must be a live right? "
" yeah but what do you want to sacrifice? "
" Um… i- i don't really know… "
i say looking away from his gaze again, my anxiety runs up more every time the seconds run.
" M-maybe something as valuable as her lives? "
" like what? "
A system window pups out. [ do you wish to sacrifice? ]
I look at kael histating, kael… what do you see?
Kael looks at me as he looks deeply in my eyes and responds calmly.
" Yes "
A warning alert appears.
[ You have accepted to take the sacrifice, you will be now teleported to death or alive ]
[ recompense: +1 potentia perk ]
Suddenly my whole around turns black, there is no light and no sound, only me and my thoughts. I dont feel my body or any sensation to have one… its just… darkness
[ death or alive time remaining: 3 days ]
I have to stay here for 3 days? I don't even see if i have a body itself…
The first day was quiet, boring, but suddenly i lost track of the time and my life being to pass in front of my eyes, as it was a bad movie i was seeing in the cinema.
The first memories that came is when i was around 5, i was such an energetic child, i loved talking, playing, jumping…
When did all get wrong…?
I was always trying to make friends, maybe because i was different but i never got along with girls.
There was i, now my body is tiny, im recalling a memory, i look up to see 3 girls around 5 too.
" No, you can't play with us unless you wear the same shoes as us! "
I look down at my shoes and then at theirs…
" Tomorrow i will "
As a blink i am now standing in fromt of my mom, i can't really see her face.
" mom! I wanna a white cool shoes! "
Next day my mom happy brings them for me, and i go to the school happy to be able to play with them.
Again as a blink im standing in front of the girls again, i stare at her shoes, now theirs are different again…
" you don't have the same shoes so you can't play with us "
Hah… Thats right… i remember… my life has always been like that…
Quick memories flash in front of me, my mom telling me.
" Why you can't be more femenine? "
My dad shouting at me.
" How can i have a useless child like you, can't you be like your brother "
And him… the person who ruined my life completely… i know what he did but my memories create gaps to protect myself from it…
What its the point in all…
Im tired…
A sensation i forgot to have posses my mind and i start to feel my body again.
What time is it… i don't wanna wake up… has 3 days passed…
[ the sacrifice is over, you may now return to your stage ]
[ you have passed the first trial + 1 soul rank + 1 potentia perk ]
[ congratulations you have obtained death mind - lvl 1! ]
