The minotaur glared at me.
Its red eyes shining in the midnight moon.
Error!
System has failed to respond to your actions!
The system was failing. It didn't see me as a part of its users.
I was locked out of using skills that were based on the system.
The shadowy form of the minotaur rushed at me, his hands aimed at my skull.
Swoosh!
I ducked below the rubble to protect my head.
Pain spreading through my legs.
"Hey ! We can talk this !" Minotaurs were slightly intelligent creatures .
If only I could convince it to leave me alone.
System failure. Conversation modules failed.
Fuck!
I tried getting up from where I was . My legs bloodied and shattered. The system had refused me as a part of it.
I gathered mana at my feet to launch myself like I did before.
If I could get high-up in the air i could try to escape. Minotaurs can't fly after all.
'it w@n't w#rk'
I looked around me. There was nothing, just me and that wild ravaging monster, so where did that voice come from?
' You alr£ady kn@w d@n't y0*? '
I didn't know.
' I n£ver left '
...
Boom
The entire room exploded into white sparks.
I was flung to the other side, the hands of the minotaur on my neck.
It was absorbing energy from the surroundings to materialize fully.
"Agh!"
I couldn't help but struggle. My hands were weak , I felt powerless.
As the grip tighten around my neck i slowly started to lose my consciousness.
Blood trickled down my eyes, my sight covered in red.
' Should I intervene? Or should I enjoy this sight a bit more '
I could hear the voice clearly now. It was clear as day.
"Fuck off you piece of shit."
It was him, the author.
