Fuck you, fate.
I cursed in my mind as the explosion made the ground tremble, raining down disgusting flesh everywhere.
Thankfully, I was barely out of its radius as I crashed into the ground
The impact knocked the breath from my lungs.
But I was alive.
But the problem wasn't over just yet.
I looked down, my right foot, the one I had slammed into the abomination during the blast…
Eyes and mouths were blooming across the skin.
The cloth around it was crumbling to dust.
I knew what I had to do.
I knew from the moment I decided to kick it.
A sword shimmered into my hand from my storage ring, one of the many weapons I didn't know how to wield but I always carried just in case.
It didn't matter if I knew how to swing it.
I only needed one move.
