Chapter 212: A Different Void (Part 1)
{Now introducing a character that Alden wanted to reunite.}
My most recent memory was when I was dying in front of Alden and the other rebels. He cried out to me to live, to be strong.
But that bullet killed me.
I thought that I would be meeting my grandma so soon, but inexplicably, I see Arukatha and the other Deities.
My clothes remained the same and the bullet wound I have was gone. Even my scars back then were gone as well.
*Badump!*
Pain suddenly flared in my body. I groaned and curled my body to suppress the pain, but it grows stronger by the moment.
Then, a sharp pain rages in my back.
*Splurk!*
*Splich!*
Black spikes protrude from my back, spewing blood violently.
"Aaaagh!" I scream in agony.
*CRACK!!*
The bones in my body began break itself down and fixes itself repeatedly and soon my flesh.
"GAH--!" I tried to scream in pain but it was so agonizing, the air in my lungs left my body. I wan't take in air, but every fiber of my being was being altered dramatically.
My skin turns into a pale purple color and then my hair grew and turns completely black where it was dark brown.
I soon get a splitting headache and soon felt two more protrusions coming out of my head, shooting upwards. My teeth soon became sharper and angular.
Then, the pain stopped. And I collapsed in exhaustion. My consciousness began to fade as it took everything to stay conscious. Or rather, it wouldn't let me fall unconscious before.
Despite the pain, I still remember the words of Arukatha before I pass out.
"Your very existence bring threat to the order of the realms." Arukatha said with disgust. "Begone."
With that, I was sent into this dark world, passed out.
When I woke up, a dark world where there is no day or night cycle, seasons, weather, peace, nor even the concept of time. The Void.
But...Alden said that the Void is a place that not even the Deities can survive. A dark world that will erode one's existence to nothingness. Yet...
Why is there light? Why is there a large number of monsters roaming around? Also, why is there a giant castle here?
"This is...different from what Alden told me..." I thought to myself.
"Ah, you're awake." a male voice said.
"Huh?" I said. I looked up to see a person wearing a Black cloak with silver and gold accents and a bright blue octopus for a head.
"You took care of me?" I said. I looked down that I am on top of a bed with faintly glowing green inscriptions of unknown origin, yet I felt nothing from it.
"Of course. I saw you appear in front of me unconscious when I was having my tea time." it said. "Ah, where are my manners? My name is Festeronova Alkieabron. I am a Mind Flayer as you can see."
The Mind Flayer Festeronova introduced himself, bowing slightly. Like a well-mannered, distinguished gentleman.
I was in a daze, not just the fact that a Mind Flayer is here before me, but I am trying to comprehend that the Void has some form of civilization.
"Miss, are you still hurt anywhere?" Festeronova said with concern.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"My humble abode. It's fairly peaceful here since there are beings who share--"
"No, I meant...is this the Void?" I asked.
"Why yes. This is the Void you have been transported to." Festeronova replied.
"I...I don't remember the Void being...populated or even remotely habitable." I said, showing it a confused expression. "It's always dark, the silence was deafening, and it erodes your very being into nothingness."
"You mean the Primal Abyss, ma'am." Festeronova answered.
"P-Primal Abyss?" I tilted my head.
"Precisely." Festeronova nodded. "And I strongly advise that you must avoid it at all costs. It is most dangerous there as you said."
"Then, where are we exactly?" I asked.
"The middle layer of the Void." Festeronova replied. "Also known as Middle Void."
There's layers of the Void? That's impossible, there was nothing mentioned about having layers of the Void.
Even if there is layers of the Void, there was no way it should be peaceful as the lore of it stated it is always in conflict, even worse than the lowest pits of the Infernal Realm.
But as of now, Festeronova has taken me in where other monsters would've killed me on the spot.
"Festeronova, was it?" I asked. "Thank you for taking me in. My name is--"
"Kyozan. You're a Chimera of an Oni, Skyflayer, and Elf. Additionally, you're a half Undefined like me." Festeronova interrupted me. "A peculiar name."
I froze, dumbfounded that he knew the names of my character in the game. But I was a full Oni. Nothing else.
"What do you mean? I am Suzana Silveira." I chuckled.
"I know." Festeronova said. "And I know that you are not from any realm of this matter."
He knows? But I just met him. How did he also know my character's name and my real name?
So, I checked my own stats to confirm this.

"Oh my god...how did you...?" I asked.
"Forgive me!" Festeronova shouted, bowing sharply. "When I carried you, I inadvertently saw your status because of my skill. I mean no ill will."
He stands up and spoke again, "If you like, you can see my stats."
I checked his status.

"Knowledge Touch?" I said.
"That is correct. It allows me to gain knowledge by physical contact." Festeronova said. "Be it skills or memories."
Festeronova places his hands on his shoulders and began trembling.
"Never in my 4000 years of research I have attained knowledge never before seen." Festeronova said.
I have seen Mind Flayers in the older games, but not the ones in the MMO. I've always knew Mind Flayers seek knowledge and dedicate their lives to it.
"Never before seen?" I said.
"Suzana Silveira, born in a place called Earth. Born in a land named Brazil, yet raised in New York. You met Alden Gray in a 5th grade school and became friends ever since." Festeronova began telling my past. "You soon met Danny Austins, Ashley Rays, and Andre Thompson. And throughout your years, you five were inseparable. Especially when you're in the relationship with Alden."
When he is reading my memory and mentioned Danny, Ashley, Andre, and Alden, I had to know if they're alive. I have to know if they managed to win.
"Those three...are they alive?! Did the rebellion succeed?!" I asked.
"Regretfully, I cannot answer the latter with certainty." Festeronova shook his head. "They're alive, but this rebellion...it seems that they've suffered a setback. Do know that this is me viewing your memories and I cannot go any further because of your death."
I sighed a breath of relief to know that they're alive and fighting without me. I know that Alden and the others are hurt after my death, but they're fighting for the future that is not just for my sake, but others.
"But what baffles me is that Arukatha has condemned you to this realm for fighting for your freedom." Festeronova.
"I don't know...she said those words to me and I just passed out from the pain." I sighed.
I get off of the bed and to comprehend the situation more. Since Festeronova is a Mind Flayer, he should have countless records he stashed away.
As soon as I get off, my vision suddenly began to warp and twist. All of my strength began to leave my body.
*BREEEEP!!* *BREEEP!!*
[Danger! Rapid body mutation detected! Body composition unstable!]
"Huh...? Why am I so...dizzy?" I swooned and can no longer keep my balance.
"Kyozan!" Festeronova yelled and caught me from falling into the ground.
I struggle to keep my eyes open. And soon, I fell unconscious again.
