Chapter 6: Terrifying Existence
After Fannum escaped into the crowed of people, he quickly shifted through them into a secluded alley, where the only other person was a half dead junkie.
"Fuck! It hurts!" Fannum exclaimed in pain as he grabbed at his shattered shoulder. He started contemplating, he didn't know how he would get out of his current situation, the big bastard would surely tell his boss about what Fannum did to the skinny man, and as result the boss would lock down the general area. After all, how could a mere kid kill a grown and armed man, never mind absorb him.
Fannum glanced over towards the homeless man, the man was on his last breath and would die any moment.
"Gluttony" Fannum muttered in a quiet voice, he would consume this man and absorb his energy. Moments after Fannums quiet mutter, dark purple energy started to emit from his palm and head towards the man.
"Huh? What the hells tha-" The man didn't even get to finish his sentence as the energy directly consumed his jaw and head first. Though Fannum hated all, he wasn't cruel, not to those who didn't deserve it that is.
'Retract' Fannum thought as the ravenous energy had finished consuming the mans body, as he did so the energy slowly retracted towards him, Fannum was getting more adept at controlling the energy, but he still lacked, in reality he had only used gluttony purposefully twice, including now.
As the energy entered Fannums body he felt energized, not as invigorated as before but still a good feeling of strengthening. This man was much worse for wear then the man Fannum had previously absorbed, so it was only natural that he didn't get the same feeling.
'Hmm, my shoulder has healed a little bit, if I can consume more creature and objects, I might be able to heal it completely in a couple of hours.' Fannum thought as he peered at his shoulder and witnessed his muscle and flesh regrow and connect, as skin slowly covered the now raw flesh.
"This power is truly incredible" Fannum outwardly claimed as he fell unconscious from exhaustion.
...
Somewhere still in the world of Shino 23-B, in no mans land, where no continent dared to tread, stood a great tower. The tower hovered several meters in the air, and spanned 2 miles in diameter and 50 miles in height. The towers diameter narrowed as the top approached, leaving the top with a sharp peak at its end, almost like a needle. Protrusions spiraled along the entirety of the tower. Similar to the tower the protrusions were black in colour with golden accents etched into them, forming a pattern, this created a stark contrast with the black, and added a beautiful glisten to the tower.
The sorrunding enviorment was not as beautiful though. The lands around were completely scorched, and all was ash, mountains in the distance had been torn apart, some even seemed to have been cleaved, rivers were evaporated and trees were dead and only held lifeless embers. No signs of life were visible, not even a rats or insects. It was a wasteland with no living being.
"Thooooom!"
Suddenly an incredibly loud sound emanated from the last floor of the great tower, with the sound came a ripple, it was fast, hundreds of times faster then the speed of sound, and seeing it one would assume it would destroy everything, but it did not.
The ripple spread through the lands without damaging anything. The ripple travelled on for miles, without stop, spreading through out the whole world. After the ripple finished it rampant spread, the surroundings of the tower chilled, it became ice cold, as if the tower was a glacier.
…
Inside the tower on the top floor sat a man, though he did not sit on the floor, but in the air, similar to the tower. The man was wearing a dark black robe with the hood over his head. His features were not visible but you could tell he was male from his build.
After an eerie silence, a flame flickered at where the man's face should've been, as if signifying his awakening. From the Illuminating flame the rest of his face became visible, the man was in fact a Lich. A rare and intelligent race of undead who were brought back to life through their undying hatred and greed for knowledge.
"I've found you little glutton." The Lich spoke with venom and disdain evident in his voice.
