READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 5: Monster or a solder?
This hunger, I need to feed it so it shuts up, and what better way to use some of these fresh and ready meats around me.
Of course I waited in my room until midnight to get some flesh to eat.
Around 3 am I wake up, and the first thing I do is take "my" knife that I didn't definitely steal from the kitchen, then slowly make my way out of my room and make sure nobody is up, then I go to a room where a little boy was sleeping in with a quirk that works like a heat scanner?
I don't really know or care; I just need his flesh.
After getting inside his room, I get close to he's bed and strike his head with my knife with all my power and lodge my knife in his head, I see he's eyes open in horror for a second before going cold.
I couldn't control myself and simply started biting his tender, hot flesh.
I first started eating his arms and legs, eating everything that had meat on it. I ate it quickly like a monster, and I could feel my hunger slowly going away as the fog in my head disappeared.
When I was done, I was covered head to toe in warm, warm blood that just makes me feel good? I feel much better, and the only thing that was left of the boy's body was his skeleton.
But I didn't care about any of that, but with the new vision I got going here, somehow I can see every single heat source all around the building!
"This is....this...hahahahahaha"
I started laughing a little. I don't know if it's from the pleasure or pain of eating that kid, but this changes everything! I can really destroy this world! Bring it to its knees!
I don't need to feel guilty, I'm just a soldier following orders from my emperor and nothing more, I'm no heretic for eating this kid or becoming a mutation; I'm just doing it for the Imperium. Yes, for my Imperium.
"Hehehehhehe...this is just insanity."
But I don't think it's insanity.
"It is! All of this!"
No, it's not! I'm just a soldier follo-
"I was a soldier!" I died serving emporium! What's the point?! What if I'm being used?! What if I am so far away from imperium that whatever I am trying to do is pointless?"
SHUT DOWN MOUTH OF YOURS, YOU. ARE. A. SOLDER. NOTHING MORE. WHY DO YOU THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING SO MUCH?! REMEMBER WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR! FOR HUMANITY! FOR OUR SISTERS AND BROTHERS! SO STOP ACTING LIKE A COWARD! FOR THE GOD EMPEROR!
"...for the God emperor."
With that, I leave "my" now broken knife in the boys skull, and I use my makeshift rope of clothes in my room and this kids room to get down of the first floor and start my journey.
As a monster... no, as a soldier.
