Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 211 :Emotional Outburst[2]
Chapter 211 211:Emotional Outburst[2]
A deep silence lingered after Lucas' angry roar followed Lucas' headless body falling onto the ground with a thud.
In the next instant, a bright light flashed and Lucas' figure materialized with his head intact as he lay down with his chest rising up and down.
Unlike before, he didn't roar or speak anything for a few moments, maintaining a state of extreme shock.
The atmosphere that had become somber was broken by a hysterical laughter from Lucas.
"Hahahahahaah!"
"I got it. At the end of the day, you are just a failure. You may preach you are the greatest or strongest version of me but in the end, you still fail, right?" Lucas raised his head slightly, staring deep into those black abysmal eyes.
"I know it feels weird for a guy like me who screams for life and fears death, but currently at this moment when I am facing you, I don't seem to fear you that much. After all, just how much worse can it be?" Lucas chuckled and laughed as if he had lost his mind.
"You have already made me suffer the pain of death countless times so how worse can it be to die a few more times."
Future Lucas blinked his eyes multiple times and then walking ahead, stood right before Lucas.
"Hey bro, did you watch too many videos of Alpha, Sigma and Gigachad that inspired you too much but in the wrong direction?"
"Do you think you have grown balls of steel just because you managed to survive till now?!"Future Lucas shouted, pulling up Lucas like a rag doll, putting his finger on Lucas' chest.
"You are still in the mood to joke?"Lucas glared sharply, noticing this guy was beginning to joke around again.
"Fuck, do you think I am joking?"
His voice became hoarse carrying a bit of murderous intent. The surrounding temperature fell and Lucas' back tingled as goose bumps crawled down his spine.
"If you have guts, tell me…"
"Tell me that you have no feelings for the parents of this world."
"Tell me that you don't have any feelings or any emotional attachment with the friends you have made and people you have known within your stay."
"Just fucking tell me that you don't care. That you are just a stoic, cynical emotionless cold-faced bastard without any attachment that can do what he wants and go down to any length."
Lucas opened his lips and his body froze as he thought about all the people around him.
Certainly, he didn't have attachments to the point that he could sacrifice his life but that doesn't mean all of this was fake.
It would be a lie, a very silly lie if he said that he had no feelings for them.
"What happened? Is your tongue bitten?"
"You can't, can you?"Future Lucas sneered and pushing Lucas, turned around.
"You can lie to yourself but not to me, 'cause I am someone that knows you very well. Even though you are different from me, I know the full extent of your capabilities and your limits."
"Listen to me you piece of shit. You are Lucas, real Lucas."
"No, I am not."Lucas refuted, wondering what this guy meant.
"Yes, you are. You were Roy before but now you are Lucas. This also stands true to me. It seems you harbour a deep misconception about your identity."
"See, you are Lucas in a way. You are just different from me or other Lucas because you remember the experience of past life and memories that had completely shifted your personality. The only difference between you and us is that you remember the past life whereas we don't. And about your death, you..about our death, were supposed to die at the age of 20. I have no hand in it. After Roy died at 20, he was reborn in this world as Lucas."Future Lucas then pointed at Lucas' face and spoke coldly.
"And you think, you have suffered so much that you are crying and bitching around every day like 'oh my god why am I so unlucky, why doesn't good luck come to me, why I am so poor, why am i commoner' etc bulshit..."
Future Lucas, moving back, folded his legs and sat down on the Throne while resting his chin on his palms and glancing at Lucas' befuddled expression.
"I didn't have a system nor did I ever take a bloodline potion that increased my grade. I didn't have a teacher to teach me, a friend to guide me and adults to help me when I was at your age. I had to learn and survive all of this by myself despite being brutally abused and curses hurled at me every day by those sons of bitches kicking my ass and humiliating me every day."
"Now that I remember, damn bro if those assholes were alive, I would fucking skin them and lock them in a room filled with those God and Spirits' shit."Future Lucas spat with a distorted expression.
"You are complaining because of all of this little shit but have you ever felt the pain of an inferiority complex? Have you ever felt that pain that you can't grow stronger and pass a small barrier no matter what you do while others can easily pass through it?''
"Have you felt the emotion of seeing your comrades in war stand beside you taking a drink today, just to die every next day. Have you felt the emotions of being unable to see your parents once again and unable to find them no matter how much you look for them as if they disappeared out of thin air?"
"You think you are lonely, that you are alone….. Hahahaha!What a joke"Future Lucas laughed but his expression turned sharp and vicious as thousands of eyes sprouted from his body giving Lucas a deep fright.
"Boy, you don't know real loneliness. The agony that it brings, the despair that it strikes in your heart. Having no friends, parents or love is true loneliness my foot."
"Real loneliness is when you are alive but no one else is. You have no one to talk to, no one to entertain you. Trapped in the same place for uncountable years where there is no concept of day and night. There is no TV, no mobile, and no food or drinks to lift your mood. Just you alone for all eternity sitting in place thinking how meaningless your life is."
The more he spoke the more agitated he became startling Lucas.
At that time, Lucas saw the tired eyes of a lone warrior who survived a catastrophe and became the last renaming one.
"And do you know what's worse than that?"
"It's when the person whom you love from the bottom of your heart dying slowly with each passing day but you are unable to do anything until the day she couldn't bear to see you suffer and committed suicide so that she wouldn't be a burden on you."
"I still remembered the day when I cried so much prayed to those Goddess and hit my head asking them for mercy and forgive me if I had to suffer any crime by mistakenly.For every time, I was inflicted upon misfortune I prayed to them but those bitches, they never give a damn to me or any other person's suffering rather they enjoy using us grovelling under their feet."
"When others wake up from sleep their nightmare ends but when I wake up, my nightmare begins. We aren't the same. Just because I said I am the strongest doesn't mean you can think I had it pretty easy without knowing the things I had gone through."
"Now tell me, have you gone through something like this that gave you a fucking right to scream at me?"
"Who the hell are you to judge me?"
BOOM!
Future Lucas slammed the armrest of the throne sending a shock wave sweeping Lucas who fell on the floor with a dazed expression as Future Lucas's loud words rang again and again.
"The main reason I am conversing with a muddlehead like you is to warn you. Don't think everything will follow the route that you expected. Your presence and your interference can change the whole structure of the plot and change a person's fate but there is always a cause and an effect."
"Every choice of yours has consequences which may either lead to victory or doom. Changing fate requires sacrifices. When you save one, someone else has to bear the consequences."
Hearing all this, a question escaped from Lucas' lips as if he knew about this but remembered just now.
"What did you lose to gain this much power?'' Lucas asked, raising his chin at Future Lucas, whose figure was slowly disappearing.
Future Lucas sighed and looked up with conflicting emotion.
"I lost..."
"I lost nothing less than everything to gain this power. So if you don't want to gain power at the cost of everything ...."
His figure soon turned transparent and vanished.
"Did this menace leave?" Lucas muttered, heaving in relief and cursing him but at the next second a loud bang echoed and a horn emerged from the back of Lucas's head.
Rubbing his head, Lucas stared at his other self squatting beside him.
'How did I become such an asshole? This guy is just a different breed of asshole.'
Lucas cursed seeing this guy pulling a prank.
"Stop cursing me in your head. That fucker Parth had surely affected you with his trash talk virus."
Lucas kept his lips shut and tried to deviate from the topic to avoid more beating. It seems Parth's title of being King of Trash Talking reigned in all timelines.
"So tell me, how many times have you manipulated and interfered till now?"
"Not much, it's not easy to jump into the past. Jumping into the sidelines of other timelines of the same dates as mine is way easier than jumping back and forth. What I am now is just a fragment of Future Lucas's consciousness stored in the system. All of those emotions belong solely to you but they got amplified because of my presence in the system. Though I pulled some strings since you always acted on your wishes."
"System...what is this system and what is it especially for? It doesn't have any special features that give it an edge over others."Lucas asked curiously while still not believing that this guy didn't control him.
"Bro, can you stop deluding in fantasy?" Future Lucas massaged his forehead hearing his other self's naive thoughts.
"Did you think you were going to get stats up just by sitting on the sofa? Or do you want the system to issue tasks like drinking liters of water and get a stat point?"
"This system is an artifact that is made by me and there is nothing omnipotent in it. Anyone who has the power to control the worldly laws or is the strongest in this world can make a system which is just an integration of worldly laws but if a person is stronger than them, he or she can just force it out from the host."
"Wait...That means I am in danger!" Lucas screamed in shock and stomped the ground in anger.
"And you are telling me this now?"
"Shut up. I am the strongest in this world so who would have the guts to do this? And no one even knows that you have a system. Now coming back to the question. The greatest help for you now is the bloodline potion without which your level would be stuck at 4-Star for years until the laws are broken down. And don't ask me when this is going to happen. And remember one thing, bloodline potion function isn't limited to upgrading bloodline grade only."Future Lucas clapped his hand and started to explain.
"Besides this, there is another thing which is going to prove very…very crucial in the future and that is the main function of this so-called system. But you need to uncover all of this by yourself, that's why I didn't put an AI or spirit in it."
"Bu-…Okay, got it." Lucas wanted to ask more but swallowed his saliva seeing those menacing eyes. It was a weird feeling but he felt that he would be killed if he asked more about this.
"By the way, why do you hate Goddesses so much to the point that you're calling them bitches?"Lucas asked trying to divert his topic while wondering why this guy hate Goddesses and Gods so much as they were pretty amiable in the novel.
The world became tranquil for a moment which was burst by Future Lucas' sudden laughter.
'Hehehe!'
Future Lucas stood up and covered his face. 𝙗𝙚𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"That's a good question. A very good question."
His voice started turning chill and his hair started standing up defying gravity.
"Lucas, remember one thing. If worse comes to worse you can even trust a member of Omen but never...never trust those bitches."
"The worst thing and the stupidest decision of my life and every living being in this world is to put trust in them and hope for salvation."
He turned to Lucas and pressed him with his crimson twinkles amid hollow dark eyes.
"There is no salvation in this damned world. Not until those bitches are present who abandoned us as worst possible stab after manipulating us for ages."
