Chapter 21

But eventually, my dreaded laughter had turned into the loud and wretched wails of a boy who was now in pain... A pain that very few would have experienced. The pain of complete isolation with nothing to look forward to, and no hope in sight.

This was too much for any human to take, and it would at least time me a few days to get used to.

Despite being surrounded by greenery and different beasts, it felt like I was stranded alone in the middle of the infinite cosmos, in a ship that was slowly losing oxygen as the freezing cold of space seeped into the ship, slowly but surely killing me, making the very ship I had to put my hopes of survival on, my very grave.

I heard the distinct 'dings' that came from the system as it informed me of my kills, yet due to my wails of agony and my tear-filled eyes, I could not see or hear the screen before me, as if my mind was trying to ignore its existence as a whole.

Sorrow filled my voice for a short second, yet when I finally realized what I had been doing, I quickly rose up from my position and finally wiped my eyes of the moisture that had accumulated around them.

Even though I was crying, it was not because of my family's death, the death of my closest friend, nor was it due to the death of my girlfriend in the hands of those disgusting, deplorable aliens.

Instead, I was simply crying out of agony.

I felt in pain.

The pressure of wanting to survive.
