82. Descent (3)

  I. . .

  What am I going to do now?

  What am I supposed to do with my revenge?

  What am I supposed to do with my hatred?

  What was the point of getting my Faith power?

  What was the point of becoming a Believer?

  . . . . .

  I left the house and wandered the neighbourhood aimlessly. I walked and walked and walked for 7 hours. It is nighttime now. People are ready to go to sleep and end the day. As I continued walking, I passed a couple whispering words of love to each other. It was as sweet and gentle as Karin's once was.

  . . . . .

  That made something in me click. I felt like a switch had been flipped. I was filled with an incredible amount of jealousy towards that couple. I stopped my steps. I turned around. I stared at the two of them with murderous intent. It made me incredibly sick of how I am not allowed to have a future with Karin. The Karin that I knew before she turned into a whore.

  Some random guy who looked like a thug and a gang leader combined gets to have such a genuine and lovey-dovey relationship with someone. His girl looked a lot prettier than a guy like him should date. BUT ME, WHO HAS BEEN KIND TO EVERYONE AND DID MY BEST TO BE THE BEST AT EVERYTHING I DID, GOT TO BE BETRAYED BY ONE OF THE MOST GENTLE AND KINDEST WOMEN I'VE EVER KNOWN IN MY LIFE. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS FAIR?? WHAT'S THE POINT OF BEING A GOOD PERSON IF THIS IS WHAT I GET IN THE END? WHAT THE FUCK IS MY LIFE EVEN FOR? THAT'S FUCKING IT!!!

  I walked towards them angrily so that my footsteps could be heard by them. They paid no attention to it as they thought I was simply someone who was in a hurry. But then my footsteps got louder, and they finally looked behind. They were startled because it was obvious that I walked towards them with harmful intentions. I transformed my hands into silver and I immediately bash the head of the woman and it instantly breaks apart. Her brain and skull came out on contact. Her body immediately flew towards the wall of a house nearby and fell over to the side of the road. She instantly died.

  "Wha--? KURUMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!"

  The man immediately went over to his woman's body.

  "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY WOMAN? ARE YOU SICK IN THE HEAD?"

  The man started crying as he kept trying to shake his girlfriend's cold and headless body. His crying got louder and more intense when he looked over towards her head. His heart felt like breaking into tiny pieces. Then the man turns around to punch me in his rage.

  But unfortunately, the moment he turned around, my silver fist was already coming towards his head. And then his head instantly exploded because of the massive amount of mass on my silver fist.

  . . . . .

  This. . .

  THIS FEELS GREAT. . .

  I FEEL SATISFIED. . .

  THIS IS IT!!!

  THIS IS THE ANSWER!!! IF I CANNOT BE HAPPY EVEN WHEN I HAVE BEEN THE NICEST GUY IN THE WORLD, THEN NOBODY ELSE CAN!! I'LL TEACH THEM THAT LIFE IS UNFAIR AND THAT NO MATTER HOW KIND YOU ARE, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE GONNA BE PUNISHED FOR IT!! THIS IS MY PURPOSE!! I'LL FUCKING KILL ANY COUPLE THAT I SEE!! I WON’T LET THEM BE HAPPY WHEN I MYSELF COULDN'T!!!

  From that day, I made an oath to go on a killing spree towards every happy couple that I came across. But before I go with this plan, I made some adjustments to only attack a couple who are in an isolated area. Because if news spreads and they know my identity, they'll hunt me down, and I won't be able to do this anymore.

  THIS IS FUCKING IT!!!

  MY PURPOSE IN LIFE!!!

  When tomorrow starts. I began walking aimlessly throughout the city. I found a couple who were still in high school. I followed them masterfully. Since they were just teenagers, they never even realized they were being followed. I saw them go into an empty park and the woods located further behind the park. I followed them, and I already know what their intentions are.

  They went into a certain tree; the boy pushed the girl against the tree. Then the boy starts kissing the girl on the lips, and that's my cue to appear. When they finally let go of their lips, I punched them both on the head from behind with my silver fist. My fist went through both of their head and they instantly died.

  Before leaving their corpses to rot, I made sure to leave no evidence behind. There were also no CCTVs or passersby, so this one should be a perfect crime. I wanted to loot their belongings to cover my food expenses as I'm doing this, but I remember I have a lot of savings, so I declined.

  The next day arrives. I'm hunting down another couple. This time they're co-workers. Seems to have been working at the same company before dating. I followed them around when they got off work in the evening. They went into their apartment. I followed them and waited a few minutes. I also searched and checked the entire apartment for CCTVs but found none. Seems like this is one of those apartments with cheap rent that they didn't even provide security to their residents. Lucky for me!

  I knocked on their door while saying I was from food delivery. The woman came and answered the door. The moment I saw her, I immediately transformed my right hand and grabbed her face, covering her mouth as well. I pushed her inside the room and closed the door on me. Inside, I pushed her to the small living room. Her boyfriend finally noticed what I was doing to her, so I immediately crushed her entire skull in front of him with my silver palm as easily as breaking a toy. The boyfriend immediately freaked out. He grabbed a table lamp and attempted to hit me on the head as he cursed me. The table lamp broke when it touched my head. I smiled towards him and punched a hole in his stomach, and he fell on the floor. As he grunted and endured the pain on the floor, I smashed his skull as well with a stomp with my silver foot. The condition of their bodies satisfies me to no end. That was exhilarating!!

  Another day arrived, and I followed yet another couple without them noticing. This time, they were a young couple in their 25s. They just got off work and were planning to go on a date. They went to a cinema together. Obviously, I couldn't kill them in public places, so I waited outside until they eventually came out 2 hours later. They went into a quiet park surrounded by woods, and this situation felt familiar, and I was happy because there would be no witnesses in this place. The young man pinned the girl down on the grass and started undressing the young woman. Before he could even take her top off, I appeared behind them.

  I punched the young man in the head, and he died immediately. His body just dropped dead on top of the young woman. The young woman immediately screamed when she saw me. She kept calling her boyfriend, but then she found out that he was already dead. She touched the back of his head, and there was a deep inward bend, the shape of a human fist. She hysterically screamed and cried and called for help as loudly as she could. I just smiled there and stared at her as I approached the two of them slowly. I hardened my fist, and it turned silver. I punched the young man's back down, and my punch went through him and the young woman's body on the stomach below. The woman immediately screamed in pain hysterically. And then I said to her, "Shhh." as I put my pointing finger in front of my lips to mock her. I ended her life with a punch to her face. Her face was dented inward; it was hard to describe the result of my artwork, but it was satisfying nonetheless.

  On the fourth day, I came across a couple that were both Believers. I thought to myself, "This will be exciting! I get to kill a happy couple but also test just how strong my Faith power is!!". They seem young, probably in their early 20s. They were hanging out on top of a rooftop on the edge of a building. I approached them nonchalantly from behind.

  I transformed my right hand and immediately tried to punch the one sitting on the right, which was the woman. There was a transparent blue barrier on the shape of a sphere suddenly appeared, protecting both of them. But her barrier was instantly broken and destroyed, coming into contact with my silver fist. The force of impact from my punch sent both of them flying away from the rooftop onto another rooftop of a building next to the one I'm on.

  The man immediately stepped up and summoned a giant sword in his right hand. The sword was massive, and its shape was actually a cleaver. The veins on the man's entire body glow white. That was the first time I met someone with the Armament-type Faith power. He asked me about who I was and what my intention was, but I didn't answer him.

  I transformed my feet and jumped over to the other building. I immediately prepared my fist and punched the man as I was falling diagonally towards him. The man blocked my punch with his massive cleaver. He was sent flying over towards the edge of the rooftop. The woman activates her barrier on the man and stops him from flying over the edge. I noticed that given how massive my mass was on that punch, I expected to break his cleaver, but it didn't even dent a bit. The things I've read online about Armament type Faith power being indestructible seemed to be true.

  Since the woman made a barrier around the man, I suspected that she couldn't create another barrier for herself, so I immediately went after her and punched her in the face and made a hole in her head. The woman died instantly, and the barrier surrounding the man faded away. The man lost his composure and immediately charged an attack with his giant cleaver. He swung that giant cleaver and sent out a massive flying sword slash in white color. I simply held up my left arm vertically and transformed it to block the incoming slash.

  *CLANK*

  A loud sound of metal clashing vibrates through the rooftop. I completely blocked and then deflected his giant flying slash away towards the sky. He was dumbfounded because he claimed that was his strongest attack that he had ever done, even since he first became a Believer. I smirked at him and approached him quickly.

  "DIE!"

  I punched the man on the stomach, but my punch only landed deep into his stomach. I've also read online during my training that this is called Vein Armor, and it is so tough and durable that even if the Believer is weak, it will still provide maximum protection to the user's body. I pulled back my fist, and this time I increased my mass by a massive amount, and my punch easily went through his stomach, making a hole in it. He slowly died as he uttered his regret and cursed his weakness for not being able to protect his girlfriend. That kinda ticked me off somehow, but it was still satisfying nonetheless. I left the scene joyously and went about my day.

  And so, I've been hunting down couples in Tokyo, exacting my revenge on anyone who was happy in a relationship. It's been a month now. Everyone has started to notice the appearance of a serial killer in the city. The only similarities between all of the victims they found were that all of them were in a relationship and that all of their bodies had been crushed by a massive force somehow. There were also never any fingerprints found in any of the victims' bodies or belongings. This news created an uproar and fear amongst couples because the news also reported that all of their bodies were found isolated, either somewhere where there was rarely anyone passing by, or even in their own houses, and all of them were also killed at nighttime. Everyone couldn't feel safe in their own home. Police have issued warnings and procedures to always lock your door and never answer the door at night unless it is someone you know. They also provided people with completely free CCTVs in their houses, funded by the government themselves.

  This annoyed me a bit as now it would be more difficult to leave less evidence if everyone locked their doors, and CCTVs are everywhere. Tch! How annoying!
