Enlightening Darkness
Chapter 8: What do I do now?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhat do I do now?
I’m in Equestria now… So what now?
“Hey dude? What’re you doing?” I heard Spear say from my room’s door.
“Thinking.” I bluntly said.
Yes I’m thinking, which doesn’t happen very often, well I mean I think a lot but it’s not serious thinking.
“Okay, what are you thinking about?” Spear continued while doing a wink, sorry but rule 34 thoughts aren’t going through my head right now.
“I’m thinking about the future, if this world really is what I have left, if I’m even ambitious enough to continue living in this imperfect world where mortals and immortals live together. I am thinking about myself, if I deserve such reincarnation in this world that knew peace for over a thousand years, if I’m supposed to benefit the world’s developpement or to end every lives in this pitiful universe, if I’m supposed to marry one of the main characters of this world even though I am considered not even a background character which is someone whose face is not even shown, if I should try to get an income from the royal family to support my body even though I am now an immortal being made of light and darkness.”
“...Dude that’s some deep thinking…” I heard Spear say after my overthinking talk.
“Look man, it’s only been like a week since I came to this world with these powers that’s not even supposed to exists in the first place, I ended up being the main attention of the two rulers of the said world and I’m even worshipped by some of the inhabitants!” I exclaimed, yeah I know, it’s just after a whole week that I notice my current situation, I may have an overly carefree mind but even this infinitely huge carefreeness has a limit.
“Oh, right, your not exactly a pony in the first place…” Spear said, you only noticed it now?
“For now I’m thinking about doing some work to have an income, I may be some fool like every time but I’m still someone with morals and because of that, I owe them pretty much everything since I started with nothing and literally ended up with everything.” I stated, I mean seriously, I came in this world with nothing but clothes and these crazy powers but that doesn’t mean anything and right now I’m living in a Castle with a full course of food everyday, how can I not feel in debt with that?
“Well I don’t know, like you said, you have these crazy powers so you can pretty much have anything you want.” Spear stated.
“It’s true but these powers are not even supposed to be mine to begin with, if I didn’t have this crazy luck that every anime main characters have, the world might have ended multiple times by now.” I said, this basically means that I don’t want to rely too much on my powers because first, I don’t even know how to use them, and second, I don’t want to end up like these power hungry bad guys in every creation of humans.
“Right… Well I’m just a soldier so I don’t know what to tell you to make you feel better so bye!” Spear said before ditching me, this dude I swear but I don’t blame him to go do his work.
“Now that I think about it, every OP MC had all the same weakness, their emotions or regrets.”
That’s what always happens in anime with emotionless main characters, the anime starts with the MC living his life, then some random bad guy comes in and mess his life, then the MC starts hating himself or everything because of what the bad guy did, and he goes on a quest for revenge or whatever.
“Damn if I’m like them then nope no way, I might seriously commit suicide if that happens because it’s cringe over 9000.” I said while laughing to myself.
“Hahahaha! It’s not funny you dumb kid!” I exclaimed to myself.
Right now my psychic is pretty messed up, you can see it just by looking at myself talk to myself while laughing over dark sh*t, I seriously need to go see a therapist because my sickness is no joke.
“Now I get what good guys felt like when they have overwhelming powers, I finally get why all the madman are the most powerful entities existing.”
Shut up me! My brain’s too old for my too young body, I might go mad if this continues like seriously? What am I supposed to do now? Damn my suicide commitment can’t even be called a deep depression decision, I’m not even depressed? I’m just a fool who’s fooling around, I mean this entire week I’ve done nothing besides being a blood sucking leech to Celestia who ended up giving me all her blood, well it’s a metaphor and if you didn’t get it then think of the blood sucking part being me flirting and playing with the heart of the Princesses who gave me a place to live plus things to eat, and the worst part is that I don’t even need any of that because I don’t even feel hunger nor sleepiness!
“I’ll go get something to eat, I hope that Celestia isn’t like what the community says her to be, ‘a Kirby that goes only for cakes’.” I said while going to the dining room.
Now the thing is that I ended up thinking for ten whole hours without realising it so right now it must be the middle of the night, the hallway where my room is is the same hallway where the room of Celestia was, so this meant that I always ended up going in front of the room whenever I went to the dining room. Now the reason I tell you this is that everytime I pass by her room, well i always caught her stalking me through the cracks of the door but I never told her that because I don’t feel like it. And tonight of all night is the night when she decides to leave her room and literally stalk me, in a yandere way no less!
I mean I don’t really mind it but because of my enhanced senses, I always stay on guard with the wings and tentacles ready to tear apart whatever comes near me, so now I had to go to the dining room with angelic wings sprouting out of my back with demonic tentacles slithering up my body like demonic snakes and it’s highly unpleasant.
Why am I even telling you this? There’s not a slice of life tag in the story so what the hell am I doing? No, what the hell did the author thought when putting me through all this crap?
Anyways, I’m too tired for any of this, I’m too tired of life, so what does someone who’s tired of life do? Drop dead, that’s what I did, I dropped dead in the middle of the hallway because I’m too tired of all of this, and I just noticed that tomorrow would be the School Daze episode because I caught Twilight writing the book she present to… what was his name? General Nasa? I don’t even remember or do I even care right now, I just want to return home and eat my grandpa’s exquisite cuisine.
“Steve! Are...ou...lri..t?” Oh dear Celestia, you’re fading away in the Void, sweet sweet endless rest is embracing me.
Wait a sec… Isn’t that called dying? I mean I intended to drop dead but am I actually dying right now? Is that even possible with the body I have now? Or is it that this body is literally granting my wish to drop dead? Are my powers actually killing me? Of all the time I wished for you damn powers to help me, you grant the sole wish I never want granted?! What is this?! I got scammed! Me of all people! And I was scammed by my own damn self! What the hell?
Nevermind that, how am I supposed to enjoy life now? My young a** has yet to enjoy life to its fullest!
“...ctor!....Is... e….right?” Oh dear Celestia, you’re fading back into Reality, sweet sweet warmth of life is embracing me.
Wait a sec… Isn’t that called resurrecting? Damn, of all the time you could save my life you decided to do that now? I swear these powers…
“Oh, oh damn, Is that what they call a huge hangover? I don’t remember drinking though.” I said while I was waking up.
I immediately knew that I was in a hospital, and for some reason there was like a huge crowd of doctors in front of me with countless of complex machines behind me, it looked like a mad scientist’s laboratory.
“You’re awake!” I heard Celestia say before tackling me with a literal hug, I’m so glad I have a god’s body because it seriously hurts.
“Hey, it hurts you know? You’re an Alicorn plus royalty and your subjects are watching.” I said trying to make her stop hugging me, which didn’t work as she hugs me tighter.
“I don’t care! You’re alive that’s all that matters!” She said, what the hell? Is it what it feels like to be accepted by someone or whatever? Damn the feels, RIP my poor heart.
“If you say something like that, my poor heart might pack its things up and leave me you know?” I said jokingly.
Now this moment would be better if it had the background classical music or whatever, but now its awkward without sounds effects besides Celestia’s sobs, it’s even more awkward with all the doctors watching in shock their beloved Princess hugging little old me while crying. With all the bloodlust coming from the majority of the anthropomorphic stallions, I might seriously fall into depression with all the bullying incoming in the future. What’s worst is that there was Shining and Spear all the way back holding a big a** sign saying ‘Hug her you dumb f**k!’.
“Yep, deep depression it is then.” I said jokingly. It’s obviously not a joke, I mean it’s literally considered a disease that lead people to kill themselves, it’s a big no nope so please kids, don’t try this at home. No seriously, get some help, not a therapist or psycho whatever because I seriously doubt anyone in depression would become an extrovert.
“What? What did you say?” I heard Celestia said while she pulled back from the hug.
“Nothing, anyway, not to sound heartless but I’m tired right now so can I please be alone? I need some serious thinking about the development of my current life while thinking about the many deeds I can do to help the world develop to a better and more intellectual world. Or so was what I planned to do before I dropped dead, literally and somehow come back to life so yeah, I need to be alone.” I said trying to be alone, why? Because I’m tired, too tired, not the tired you have after a tiring day no, that’s a tired you have after having pessimistic thoughts about the world and how worthless your life is, that kind of tired.
Yes, because of my mental state, well I’m neutral in pretty much anything, what I mean is exactly what happened not 5 seconds ago. I go to deep into something while at the same time having a neutral look of this same thing so when I’m sad, I’m not, when I’m angry, I’m not. This kind of thing is actually very common in the world if you think about it, I mean if you see a guy that’s laughing his a** out and not even a second after stop laughing, then that’s literally like my mental state.
I’m not saying I’m special or anything! Baka…
“Anyways, I was hungry for some reason even though I technically don’t need to eat, so I was going to the dining room while thinking about the foundation of reality and the universe until I wanted to drop dead because I was too tired of everything and that’s when I literally died until I came back to life two minutes ago.” I explained to everypony present here, and you guessed it, they blue screen.
“Damn, I’m really going to end up becoming a brain virus with all these blue screens, no, I don’t wanna but I can’t choose anything else because I’m out of memes.” I monologed before starting to go out of the room, until I was pulled back by Celestia.
“Oh wow, Celestia did your brain developed an anti virus?” I asked the blue screen freed Celestia standing in front of me.
“What are you talking about? I noticed that everything you say has no meanings but at the same time I noticed that everything you say has meanings.” She said, what the hell? Do I really do that ? I mean what she says is kind of true but geez, Celestia’s scary yandere stalker.
“What do you mean? I literally fool around even in serious moments so I’m pretty sure that everything I say is just me going crazy or something.” I said trying to prove something that doesn’t even exists to begin with.
“What? You may sound foolish but I noticed that what you said were all related to many philosophical quotes made by various geniuses in Equestria, so what are you hiding? Only those who talks in a cryptic matter hides something!” She said, seriously what the hell? Memes are considered philosophical quotes here? What is this sorcery? She went too deep but at the same time she’s not wrong, I mean only creative people come up with these crazy memes but geniuses? Equestria might end earlier than expected if memes are considered highly intelligent things.
“Well I’m not hiding anything, I mean everything I said means many things so complex even I can’t explain them.” It’s true though, who in this world can explain memes properly? Like anything and everything that happens in the world can become a meme, just do a one minute video of your cat and that’s it, it’s a meme.
“There’s too many variables and possibilities with everything I said so far so that’s why I can’t really explain it.” I said to Celestia who seemed more confused than anything, I can’t blame her.
“I…. don’t understand.” Celestia said while glitching between staying conscious and going back to blue screening.
“Me neither.” I said.
“But…. You’re the one who is stating these…?” And she went blue screening again.
“Maybe I should go see if cakes really are her favourites, I hope she has chocolate flavour.” I said before going to the dining hall again.
