Deranged Writer's Afterword

Chapter 171 Time For Change (1)



A cold wind blew past Adam, making him feel a slight chill.

The sight before him was quite something, blood had spilled everywhere and the various contents of Greydor’s head had spread throughout the snow. Adam couldn’t take his eyes off what remained of Greydor, he slowly rose from his corpse and proceeded to vomit violently.

After all, he too had his limits.

Adam’s POV:

What just happened?

‘Cough’

I cleared my throat and stared at what remained of Greydor, I wasn’t planning on killing him right now….

Did I even kill him?

I didn’t even realize that he was dead until a moment ago…..just what is going on with my body?

….

I need to hurry.

“ Come on out.”, I said and soon our hostage and Rhys came out of their hiding place.

The green child avoided my gaze while Rhys ran right up to me and rubbed my legs using his body.

“ Carry her for me.”, I say to the child.

…..

Oh right!

……….

“ Arke Faavon.”, I said thinking deeply.

The language barrier was a problem, but there was no time to deal with it. I need to find Luna Caerus quickly. I knew that Greydor was a survivor but I wasn’t aware that he was a cannibal. These characters never made it into the book.

The child nodded and struggled to drag Lydia back with us.

I couldn’t carry her since I needed to write a….letter.

~~~~

“ Fak off.”, I proclaimed, raising my hands high in the air.

Fak off means ‘peace’.

…..

The child beside me gently let Lydia down and ran towards her village, we were once again back in the village but now instead of hiding we were in the wide open. I covered my nose to block the smell that emanated from Greydor’s corpse.

Oh yeah…I brought him too.

Lydia was unconscious and hurt pretty bad, we didn’t have the necessary materials to treat her so we had no choice but to confront these people. Also, these people aren’t that bad, I should know best since I grew up with them…in my last life.

I used to love this cereal brand in my last life called ‘Martian Life’, it was dirt cheap, and always gave a small gift with each packet. An action figure….of a martian. I collected a lot….and when I grew up and became an author, I just randomly used them in my book.

I could see that a small crowd had gathered near the entrance to the village and was staring at me and Lydia, I waved to show them that I was friendly but that just drove them away.

……

Oh….I’m covered in blood.

I waited patiently for the child to deliver the letter that I had given her, it was a letter specifying how it had come to this. I wrote about our mission and how we killed Greydor, a person who probably ate the relatives of some of these people.

“ Ichogo Bwjka.”, a man who appeared to be the chief came out and extended his hand towards me.

Shaking his hand, I flashed a wide smile.

The chief smiled and ushered me into the village, I could see a bunch of people staring at us from a distance. I paid them no mind and followed him to the largest building in sight.

After making ourselves comfortable on a sofa, the chief faced me,

“ Usjeo Beoak Lobaol Lahuv ayfj akcio aiyfoq.”, the chief said, stroking his beard, he was a rather large man, and of course like everybody else here, he was green.

Also, I did not get a word of what he said just now…

…..

After spending an agonizing amount of time translating, I had gotten the gist of the situation. Luna wasn’t in this village, but they knew where she was.

Apparently, this village isn’t the only one present within this dungeon, the [ Gom] tribe was inhabitants of the village next to this one and Luna is with them….

The chief was sure that it was Luna since I had described her as a black wolf.

The Gom’s had taken her in as their guardian deity, that was about all the information he had for me.

Apart from that, the chief also expressed his gratitude for killing Greydor, he had lost his son to him it seems….

After realizing that Luna wasn’t here, I wanted to immediately head over to the neighboring village but Lydia’s condition had worsened and she needed proper medical care. Also, it would be hard to deal with Luna without her.

So, I decided to stay here for two days.

Right now, I was lying down in my bed while Rhys zoomed around our room at hyper speed. I couldn’t sleep….

We were close…

I usually wouldn’t want to change the plot but in Luna’s case…I needed to change the plot or we’re all fucked…

‘Sigh’

Yeah, that’s right.

I can’t let what happened in the novel actually happen…

For the first time since coming to this world, I was afraid of what the future held.
