Hisui's pov
Chapter 1.
I sat in the freezing cabin, looking out at the sea of endless white. I sat up from my chair, eyes drifting around the room like i memorized the whole place. Probably because i did.
I heard a sound of a wounded animal three miles away.
'who has a death wish?' i thought before conjuring a sword of ice. Sharper than any holy blade.
And in an instant, i reached the noise. I scanned the entire forest before finding a human silhouette standing before a dead deer.
I passed the gap in an instant grabbing the head of the silhouette and getting a closer look. "A demon huh, less than nothing." I raised my sword up and tore the demon diagonally. Clean and efficient, didn't even get time to scream a "please mercy".
'tsk, these annoying pests. If i could leave this place i would have killed every single one of them.' i clicked my tounge, a mildly annoyed expression sticking on my face.
I walked back towards the cabin "why won't they get it? Why won't they just stay away from me?" I talked to myself, flowing a hand through my silver hair.
And a sudden pain hit my chest. Specifically my heart. I immediately dropped to the ground, clutching my chest to stay awake. "Fuck..." I panted heavily my face twisting in pain as my organs almost began melting as the sun rose up.
But i found an opening through the pain and did a gesture with my hand, teleporting me back to my cozy overly cold home. I leaned on the wooden pillar before the world around me faded into black.
After a few hours i stirred up, waking to a Haze of that sweet familiar pain. "Just why am I the only victim to this curse?" i put both hands on my head, clutching it like a lifeline.
Anger slowly took over me as night arrived. I got out of the cabin and conjured two ice swords.
'i can't help myself.' i went out into the night. The white forest now a pitch black. Yet my vision stayed true.
I saw everything. I spotted two hunters on my land. "How dare they" and in an instant one of them died. A torn leg and a head.
The other one stayed still, stunned at the greusome sight. I just approached her slowly before swinging once. And reaping her life.
I conjured an ice spear and turned around fast and hurling it at the assain right behind me. "Do I look stupid huh? Do I look stupid to you?" I said coldly ( pun intended ) staring at his body that got impaled into an ice pillar behind him.
I picked up the ice sword on the ground, eyes flashing a deep blue instead of the crystal blue. I winced at the feeling before rubbing my face into the snow. "If i sweat i might be done for."
I turned around and continued hunting, a predator looking for pray. Innocent or not I killed alike.
My mind returned to me when I came back into that cabin. My blood stained hands a quiet taunt at my weakness.
I clenched my jaw before bursting into manic laughter. "I'm so pathetic..." I just regained my sanity. Not washing my hands... Unable to, water freezes way above the Temperature i could survive own.
I knew what I was doing was wrong. I 'know it more than anyone.' people's lives aren't worthless. But i usually disregard that worth of a life. What can less one person be of a difference than the other billions out there?
I was stuck. Watching as the people I deemed Worthless remained free while I was stuck to this cold prison.
It was a hell hotter than any else, The one where you're dying just to feel warmth.
'Yet my life is worth more than them?' i pondered before snapping it is. 'it is, and im tired if lying to myself that it's not. But at the end of the day... Is it really as worth as theirs?' i thought once again. Getting up from the bed I was resting on.
"I'm wrong." I said it quietly, almost silent. I smiled and put a hand to my face. "I've always been wrong."
But i didn't want to acknowledge it. "But i don't care about the lives I've took. They should have known better. It's not my problem." I sneered, now fully just arguing with my own self.
'But can i even call this a life? I've been living in this frozen body for probably millions even billions of years... And i remember every damned second of it because my brain freezes those memories aswell.'
I stared at the ground in defeat. The cabin would've been warm if wasn't this cursed. "Can i even call this a life? What even is a life?" I sniffled, a crystal tear falling down and immediately solidifying into a ice diamond Jewel.
