A Fathers Wrath

"Master! I have a daughter!"

Viridia screams after the church army appears. Why? Is this the mastermind's big reveal? Ugh.

"She was the sweetest purest light in my life. And I betrayed her!"

Whatever she wanted to say next is lost in more screaming as the other girls realize she caused this. They fall upon her like wolves on wounded prey. Has it really only been a week since the last betrayal? These may be disappointing girls but they sure keep busy.

Good god. Its like a hentai adaption of the Ides of March. Et tu, Brutetta?

As she is kicked, stabbed, burned, and even bitten. Her eyes never let go of mine. As what is left of her coughs its bloody last gasps, she manages.

"Don't forgive us. Please end this rotting filthy world."

"Okay?"

Lots of us have had shitty lives.

Yeah, the world sucks. We are still responsible for the choices we make. No matter how little choice you might think you have? You still have one. And are accountable for them.

You know? Haven't tried raising a shadow with someone still alive.

"[Shadow Rise]"

...

Well that's, unexpected.

Why am I back here? Isn't this the white room I was in last time? Where's the bitch with the halo?

"Hello? Angel tits? Where are you?"

Huh, let's see. I was getting beat up, cut up, and they were tearing up my shadows faster than I could put them back together. They are useful but, man, in a fight they can eat so much mana. Summoning them isn't bad. But healing and re-summoning them over and over again gets damn expensive.

Wait. My girls! Fuck! Am I dead?

Never created shadows in mass before but I couldn't think of anything else. Then that guy with the hat freaks out and something like a nuke goes off, in my face. Shit, bet I'm dead. Fuck. So what do I do now? Can I go home? Give my wife the longest massage ever if I could go home again.

Would be great if I could hug my kids again. Hell, I would even pick up the dog poop for once.

Shit, my son. Did I see Avi get hit? If she's not dead? Those fucks could go after him again. Dammit! Even without her, maybe they'll find him again. I still have to figure out how to stop them. And I can't do that if I'm dead.

Maybe come back as undead?

Nah, I need access to libraries for research and I doubt they give library cards to walking corpses. Looks like feather tits is still hiding.

"Coward!"

Going to have to get back on my own.

What's this? Still feeling my reservoir? But the tanks about dry. Where else can I get mana from? Oh? Wait. That body. Its not completely gone yet. Use it to relay. Come on. Reach! There!

What is that? Yes! The packs full of mana stones! They are overloading. Haha! You dumbfuck! Your own nuke is turning the mana stones into something I can use even without touching them. Eat this assholes!
