Chapter - 52
The sun was just beginning to rise, as Lucius made his way out of the narrow dirt path through the thick forest.
His clothes were ripped and stained, his knuckles were red with blood, and dirt was caked on his boots. The adrenaline surge in his body had already washed off and now his body ached, and every step felt like dragging himself forward.
But the worst of it... The worst part was his mind. He wanted it to be silent, but now?
[Bravo! Bravo! A standing ovation is in order]
The system voice came, cutting through the silence. It was dripping with mockery, cool and detached.
[You absolutely butchered them. Blood, dirt, fear—it was beautiful. Like a horror film… but with heart.]
But Lucius didn't react, in fact his emotions were just too numb right now.
Though his feet kept moving forward, his mind was still in that hole. Those five dead bodies and that guy.
"... I killed them," he spoke in disbelief, "I buried him alive."
