Chapter 27: Psychosis

While Ray was sitting there quietly, two hours passed and suddenly a loud rumbling sound could be heard from above the ground.

Faint screams from the servants and some palace guards could be heard, making Ray realize that this underground prison was actually close to Elaina's mansion.

Ray also suddenly felt curious because Elaina was already dead. He was certain that this time would be different for him. It made him curious and eager to see what would happen this time.

I should have checked it long ago if I hadn't doubted myself so often. This time, I have to investigate properly whether I can really change the existing fate or if fate truly cannot be altered.

But how do I get out of this damn place?

Ray looked around and only found a straw to sleep on. Seeing the situation, Ray could only sit silently in that spot again and wait for the uncertainty.

After waiting for quite a while with a clearer consciousness, Ray could think clearly again without any obstacles. But there was nothing he could do at the moment, making him regret not doing something when he was discovered by those four people.

I should have lied and said that a hitman suddenly came and killed Elaina.

Why do I always end up regretting the things I've done?

I know it with full confidence, that the reason is because I am a loser.

My words to Elaina were just empty talk at this point. Even my sister...

My sister?

Suddenly, Ray remembered that he had a younger sister. But when he remembered, his head began to ache and his consciousness suddenly disappeared.

When he regained consciousness after a few minutes of being unconscious, Ray found himself trying to hurt his own head by banging it against the wall.

What am I doing? Why am I doing this?

Ray held his chest and felt a strange feeling that he actually recognized.

This... This feeling... Oh yes, I want to die.

But right now, I'm actually curious about investigating something else first. It's not the time for me to die, I need to gather information first.

Ray realized something inside him that made his body feel strange. It was a feeling inside his heart. All the feelings inside his heart clashed and made his mind unstable.

So that's it... That's why I'm a little crazy.

Damn it, why did this illness suddenly come back?

Ray suddenly screamed again for no apparent reason and cried. His consciousness lost control again like before.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself covering his ears and rolling on the floor as if he were terrified.

Knowing that his mental condition was not okay, he tried to calm himself down.

Ray is now lying down, his eyes tired. While trying to maintain his focus and keep his consciousness intact, he laughed and tried to find a little happiness from it. It was somewhat effective and made him feel a bit calmer, but the consequence was that he looked like a mad person.

Surprisingly, a screen suddenly appeared in front of Ray's eyes. He wasn't surprised because he was too tired to be surprised. He just tried to read it slowly while still laughing.

[Congratulations, your passive skill 'mental endurance' has now met the requirements to level up.

Low-level mental endurance has evolved into low-mid level mental endurance.]

Again... This screen appears again. And I still don't fully understand it. It seems like I have to go to the church to find out more about my abilities with more detail.

Ray can now suddenly maintain his focus and not lose consciousness like before. It makes him calmer and he can sit back down. He thought that this was the side effect of his suddenly increased ability. Although he still didn't understand it, at least it was the most logical explanation in a situation like this.

When he calmed down, he realized that his body was covered in wounds that he didn't know where they came from. Ray was very sure that it was his own doing when he lost consciousness.

That wasn't me, it was something else inside my own body.

But this illness could be controlled quite well in the past few months. Why is it suddenly more aggressive now?

Is it because of the conflicting feelings I have in my heart?

I don't know, really... What's wrong with me?

From the beginning, was it really me who went berserk?

But it's clearly my body, it must be me. But why do I have no memory of what happened?

I'm confused about why I did foolish things like hurting myself. But I realize that deep in my heart, I also wanted it.

I'm doubting it, is the one going wild inside me really me?

So, which one is the real me?

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard rushing down the stairs. It made Ray curious, and reflexively, he stood up and immediately went to the iron bars to peek.

And it turned out to be the orange-haired boy who had tried to help him before.

Ray felt guilty because he remembered that he hated that person. He realized that he should have been grateful at that time. But his bad nature, which considered everything around him as useless, made him hate anything that hindered his desires. Especially at that time when Ray wanted to die quickly. It made the feeling of hatred towards that person grow in Ray's heart.

But now Ray has realized it, he realizes that he was wrong.

At this moment, the feeling that arises in his heart is a feeling of happiness. Ray is happy because he can't do anything in this cramped and damp room. This makes Ray see the orange-haired boy as his hope.

Ray smiled happily, and at that moment, the orange-haired boy arrived in front of Ray.

Now their eyes are locked in a gaze.

While Ray is smiling widely, the orange-haired boy is trying to regulate his breath, which has become irregular from running. Realizing this, Ray becomes curious about the reason why the boy rushed into the underground prison area.
