Chapter 8:Arise
He sat in a bar,drinking a glass of alcohol.The perfect fuel for his rage.
"Another glass."Red demanded,slamming the drink onto the wooden counter.
The bartender had his eyes wide open and began to sweat.Although he didn't have any ability manipulation and he couldn't sense Red's immense aura,there was something off about this man.The bartender urged to grab his shotgun in the back instead of getting a drink and he did.
But he forgot to reload the barrel…While the bartender did that,a nearby kid dressed up as a cowboy,ripping a bounty poster off the wooden wall of the cabin like bar.A few old men watched from afar,they looked too comfy to move.
So they watched,smoking pipes and breathing it out.They would die in a short moment.Just like their lungs.
"Nice wanted poster."
The kid put it in Red's face.His eye was still twitching yet he had the mercy to turn to the kid.
"Thanks."But in reality,Red wasn't actually thanking the kid. He was just bored,really really bored.And when I say bored I mean really REALLY bored.Red was bored.Really really bored.You get the idea by now I'm sure.
He drank dozens of glasses of alcohol.And although it didn't seem like he was in a state of distortion and destruction,he was prepared to kill.
The whole bar was under a threat. He was aware of being the Overlord but he didn't fully reach the state of the Overlord. He grew some armour made out of an unknown material that he sensed was probably Monko,the same thing that the moonstone is made out of.
His eyes were half red,half normal.Quickly growing more and more evil.I feel sorry for the kid that was in front of him.I said was because the time you're reading this,Red crushed the limbs and heads of every single soul in the bar.SPLAT!Everywhere,there was blood.Red sighed and closed his eyes,wiping the blood off his delicate mask.
Flies entered through the open windows and began to devour the dead bodies. It was a thing to see alright,very special but not in a good way.Behind Red was the body of the bartender holding a shot gun.
He was on the floor and his finger was on the trigger.
Red would've had his brains blown out if he didn't kill everybody in that instant.Red snatched the wanted poster of himself out of the dead kid's hands who had his eye sockets ruptured.
His eyes were punctured by the force of Red's gravity.Same went for everybody else.
"AGH!"Red collapsed to his knees. He felt a pain in his chest.Now his legs.Now his arms.NOW EVERYWHERE!It was the same pain he felt on Terrence Oblivion in the cave with Kibo and Kraven.Red looked at his hands.
They were covered in blood. He ran directly to the bathroom to wash the blood off.Red was now crying.Red was washing off red.
So ironic.
"So is this how people see me?"He began to cry. He cried hard.This was not Red.This was not the abused little boy that his brother or mother or anyone once knew.
This was the overlord taking over. He didn't even realise it himself. It was complex to explain.
The overlord was crying because he was turning himself into this evil counterpart of himself?Or was he evil all along and his body had fragments of empathy for everything else?This wasn't even his body technically.
It was just a person he was reborn into.Who was this person anymore?Who was he?Was he known as Red for making everything Red?Was he Terrence?Was he the Overlord?Who was this person?Who was he truly?Are they three different souls in one body or one soul in one body?
Who?
WHo?

Red had so much self hatred to himself. He hated himself.But for the rest of the hours,he repeated the same thing over and over again.
Find a public building,stall for a bit to build tension,kill everybody inside the building,relocate and repeat.
That was his plan. He was wiping out people in Japan so effortlessly. He didn't know if he could trust Kibo anymore.
He didn't know if Kibo trusted him. He didn't know if he could trust himself.
All Red did was move forward to become stronger.That was the goal.
That was the main purpose.After he got strong enough,he would build an army of Navajo.Red just had to do this for a few more hours.
But even after all that slaughter,he felt empty.
So the next destination was to Kibo and surprisingly after using chromo visualling,Red found Kibo staying at their mother's house.
Lady Applejack's cabin in the deep dark forest.
This was going to be very hard for Red.But he set foot despite being tired with strained muscles He still kept on moving.
