It was only after hearing Raven's words that it dawned on Freddy that he had turned into one of those monsters as well. He was an Ink Crawler.
Raven laughed maniacally, taunting Freddy, telling him that he was forever trapped in this body, fated to feel the pain of every attack, yet never die.
"You will live until the day I live," Raven said. "Even if you're hurt, I'll heal you. All until the day you watch me kill your friend. And then… haha, I'll just continue using you."
Freddy was mad. If he could speak, he would have shouted curses at her. If he could attack, he would've crushed her to the ground. However, unfortunately for him, he could do nothing against her.
"Now, follow me," Raven said. "We need to leave quickly."
She turned around and walked away, and even if he didn't want to, Freddy had to follow her, with the phantom pain of his body still ever-present in his mind, despite him wanting to stay away.
We've come to the conclusion of the first volume, which was in reality nothing more than just a lengthy prologue.
The real story will start now, as I had always planned. however, given that this book isn't doing so well, I do not know how much of it I can actually show before I have to find a way to quickly wrap up all the plot points.
Hopefully, it doesn't come to that.
If you liked the volume, consider dropping a review. I need 10 in total just to have a rating, which I still haven't.
The next volume will be called [An Unfamiliar World], which will start tomorrow.
P.S. Because of the lack of traction, I've decided to change the title of this book to [Strongest Nova: Path of Vengeance], hence the title of this chapter. It should change within the next two weeks. I hope you guys will like it, and so will the new readers who will hopefully start reading this book.
See you later, and thanks for reading.
