CH 1 A sudden death

In a dark room illuminated by the light coming from the monitor which is running unnecessarily, Lying on the bed as a seal with his legs curved upward and a phone in his hands, a youth named Pavitr Prabhakar is reading a web novel.

His jet-black hair sway by the air coming from the rusty old fan which threatened to drop if not repaired soon. With every motion, the fan produces inundating noises as if crying for attention but the black obsidian eyes solely focus remain on the screen of the phone with a hint of disappointment hidden within them. With his long facial hair and messy hairstyle he looks like a man straight coming out of a cave in the hope of hunting prey so he won't have to sleep hungry tonight.

The big dark circles under his eyes conform to his sleep deprivation which might make some red-eyed black-haired girl who thinks love is war fall for him. Alas, he is too ugly for her standards.

"Fuck" Currently, he is reading the novel <Occultus>. Despite not liking it in the slightest. He somehow managed to reach the last chapter.

Why not like it?? Because the story itself is quite a cliche. Eric, a loser with nothing somehow manages to gain the attention of a godly being. And get super broken skills. The first skill he gets is the Taboo of existence which can defy even the law and logic of the Universe. Then he somehow gains the attention of the demon king. The strongest and the only SSS Rank existence known. The whole world goes to war. The academy which should have been the safest is getting attacked.

'Where the fuck is the logic here. If you said it's the safest it should have been the safest why is it getting attacked?? If you said something then stick with it till the end' Pavitr thinks exasperatedly still feeling bitter about the attack on Academy and the start of the falling arc of MC. It's the arc where start losing things.

Despite being not a big fan of this type of cliche plot with thousands of variants out there. Bizarre enough the emotion he feels till now is not the absurdity that he expected but the grief, sympathy, and disappointment which somehow force him to read further.

What he expected was MC to go here and there collecting harem members as cabbages. Become super OP that he could one hit kill Divine King God Emperor despite being only on Low-level god and an absurd Plot Armor which makes the attack that could destroy the world only strengthen him for some bizarre and absurd reason like he was the one who made this attack for school assessment and he was not serious at that time at all In one of his previous life.

I mean what kind of lunatic bastard makes an attack that can destroy the world in school assessment? But what he didn't expect was there is close to no plot armor. Every character will die one by one slowly at the start. At that time it was tolerable as all those due were extras. But even the name characters will follow their example and die later on. And the story is actually pretty good.

But As the story goes further the stakes of things suddenly get insanely high to the point where a sacrifice will be necessary to move further or death will be the end of the journey.

The more sacrifice he made the more he struggled for power. Fortunately, the cries for power he makes by using blood and sweat for nourishment melt the cold heart of fate forcing it to answer him by giving him more broken powers. But the inevitable end of annihilation follows him to the end and in the struggle which decides the future of the world, it eventually comes victorious.

The whole story is well written and described and the choice of words is brilliant making people who read it, empathize with the characters inside the novel. The pain, despair, and helplessness could be felt by the people reading just the lines made of mere words. Some who only come to read the artistic masterpiece unknowingly get attached to the characters prompting them to join the suffering of genuine readers. By the decryption of some experts, the space left empty after the death of MC alone tells thousands of words.

The whole comment section is filled with profanity by those who were unable to accept the outcome of the war or the death of their favorite character and the praise from those who fall in love with the brilliant storytelling and cruelty of the author while some asking for next chap as the story is incomplete. Similar to the previous chapters. But there is no reply and the next chap from the Author as if the whole purpose of this novel is to troll.

No explanation of why he did this and what his motives were. Despite knowing Auther might not even read his comment. Pavitr couldn't stop himself from commenting.

[@NightWalk6969 - Why?? You could at least add some more helpers or decrease the insane difficulty] Knowing he couldn't do any better even if he wanted to, he could offer only these two suggestions.

But to his surprise, a reply comes, and instantly at that.

[@AUTHOR - Why not you become his helper??]

Thinking the Author was being sarcastic he replied to him in his tone

[@NightWalk6969 - Fuck you 🖕🖕]

Following my example, furious people started spamming his reply with curses. Heck, Some even I hear for the first time.

To mollify his mood he leaves the app and starts searching for memes.

[Why does Spyder-man calendar only have 11 months??

—Because there is no May HahahaHAHAHAHUHAHAUH]

"..." *Proceed to click the next one.

[... Title - Dont open the video

Video cover - Dont click on the play button

*Click

*Picture of a man patting his dog

*The Dog suddenly leaps at the screen]

"Huh," Pavitr smiled smugly. The time When he thinks it is over, the dog opens his mouth and spells only two words that he could never forget the words that leave a deep impression on him, the words that leave Pavitr traumatized.

[ "Ed... ward..." ]

"..."

'Enough internet for today' Pavitr thinks as the horrific scenes keep flashing in his mind. He remembers how he left that anime midway after watching that scene. Due to his tendency to only read or watch anime, movies, web series, and novels with happy endings reading <Occultus> till the end itself is an achievement he should celebrate.

After using the phone for 4 continuous hours. It is obvious he will get thirsty. But due to his laziness, he ignores it thinking he will drink something when he gets up to do something. Quite Ironically, One of the main causes of his fucked-up schedule for eating and sleeping is his laziness.

He crawls his body to the side stretching, trying his hardest to not get up while opening his refrigerator which is just a little far from his bed.

While trying he hears a thunderous roar that echoes in the serene room. It comes from his stomach. 'Wait silence??' His gaze quickly moves upward to the fan which stops moving as if capitulated to his destiny after the abuse of its owner.

"Great, Now what more could go wrong today" Pavitr cursed under his breath.

A sigh escaped from his mouth. He leaves the problem with the fan for later and moves to the imminent problem.

He opened his wallet, seeing that he had enough money. He quickly makes a plan of going outside for a meal.

With a sigh, he gets up and wipes his face with a wet towel. Open the dilapidated wooden Armari and choose his favorite sky blue trouser and a black loose t-shirt with some words written to the top left side in blight blur color which he will keep untucked to wear.

He combs his hair to look somewhat acceptable to society. With this, he looks good enough to not get hit with rotten tomatoes when walking on the road.

Before heading out of his poorly-maintained apartment he notes the things he had to buy but got postponed due to his laziness.

'...,

Salt,

and milk, that's it.' He writes it on a piece of paper to not forget before leaving.

He didn't forget to pick up his earphones. But he again forgets to turn off the poor monitor.

But at that time he didn't know that he wouldn't be able to come back home like some fathers who still didn't return after going to get some milk.

He keeps walking on the footpaths till his apartment is nowhere to be seen when he hears the sound "Meow" He turns his head to search for the source of the noise what comes into his view is a black cat that suddenly leaps toward him which scared the hell out of him.

Frightened he took a step to the side in an attempt to dodge the furious cat but to his bad luck, he saw that a truck was a few meters away from him coming in his direction. The loud sound of the horn, the sight of pedestrians gathering around him, and the metallic taste of blood are the last things he feels.

'So that's how I die' Despite not regretting drying in any way leaving the world with no one to mourn for him still leaves a bitter taste in his mouth. This is the last thing he thinks before he dies.
