Elfina suddenly found herself within an endless darkness. When she woke up within this endless darkness, her dizziness almost took over her entire body. She didn't knew where she was, or why was she here… but she felt afraid. Nobody was here for her, nobody was here to help her, she was cold, and even nude, and she was trembling in fear, alone, and desolate.
"Wh-Where is everyone? Where am I?"
Suddenly, in front of her, a path emerged, it was crimson red, and sticky and muddy.
She began walking through this path, as she had no other path to walk anymore.
Her foot felt the cold and wet floor, it was slightly disgusting, and it made her felt like she was about to puke at any second.
The odor of rotten corpses and blood began to emerge everywhere around her.
"What… what is this…"
Elfina's emerald eyes were filled with horror as she saw an endless path of blood and guts. Flesh, bones, and countless rotting carcasses. These were all of people, lying there rotting, with maggots and flies. The horrid and disgusting smell… it made her want to die.
"Where am I?! What is this?!"
Elfina began to panic, running away every time she encountered a rotting corpse, scared and afraid.
"This is you."
"Eh?"
Suddenly, a voice spoke to her.
"M-Me? No… I have… no!"
Elfina fell into the floor, suddenly realizing she was sitting over a pile of countless corpses…
"A-Aaaahhh…! Aaaaahhhh!!!" Elfina began to cry in fear and horror. Despite having fought so many monsters before, seeing such an scene for her young heart was very impactful.
"How so?"
The voice spoke again to her.
"What?"
"How is this not made by yours? This is all your fault."
"N-No… I have never killed so many people before!"
"How have you not? You're fully responsible for the monster you've brought to this world."
"Monster…?"
FLASH!
Suddenly, within the endless darkness of this realm, light emerged before her, making the spotlight for something in front of her.
A caterpillar.
A small caterpillar, it looked inoffensive, it wouldn't hurt anybody.
However, that monstrous caterpillar began to slowly crawl towards her.
"Ma… ster…"
"Ahh…!"
"Blood…"
"Eh?!"
"Bring me more blood…"
"Blood?! Wait… K-Kireina?!"
Elfina felt horror as she saw the caterpillar resemble Kireina when she was first summoned.
"Bring me blood, master!"
"What?!"
"I want blood! More blood! I love… blood!"
"No! Stop! That's enough!"
"Bring it to me… all the blood… all the pain… all the sorrow…"
"N-No!"
"Why are you rejecting me now, master?"
"Ah…"
Elfina suddenly felt even more shocked as she saw the face of Kireina's human form within the caterpillar body, it was terrifying, making her heart beat faster and faster in terror.
"What's wrong, Elfina? This is what you've brought to yourself."
The voice once more spoke.
"Why? Master! Why do you say such things when you accepted me?"
"I-I didn't…! I… I didn't summon you because I wanted!"
"But you're my Master… You're in fault for what has happened…"
"N-No… Get away from me!!!"
Elfina cried in horror, standing up and running away.
The caterpillar began to follow her from behind, as Elfina suddenly stumbled over a bone protruding from a corpse and she fell down a long pile of corpses.
"Gyaaaaahhh!"
Blood, guts, puss, and all other sorts of disgusting things covered her entire body as she fell down the pile of corpses. She quickly reached the depths of a hole filled with countless corpses.
The corpses slowly noticed her, as they began to slowly crawl back. Countless corpses standing there, within the rotting smell and the cold fog.
Elfina noticed not only the Emperor of Humans, but countless Demons Kireina had slain, all the Demon Lords, and thousands of humans…
Horror, fear, disgust!
Elfina's face grew more and more desperate.
"She's there…"
"The one that brought us to the ends of the nether…"
"She's there… Her!"
"The one responsible for our deaths…
"Bring her to us!"
"I want to kill her!"
"You'll know our pain!"
Suddenly, all the undead began chasing Elfina down, as she ran away as fast as possible.
"No…! No…! Stop…! Stop!"
Suddenly, Elfina felt something touching her leg, something disgusting touching her foot, as a cold goo began pouring all over.
"E-Eh?!"
"Master… Please… tell me who must I kill now…"
"N-No… stop! Don't kill anymore, Kireina! Don't kill anymore!"
"I must kill…"
"No!"
"This world… this universe… It is all about the survival of the fittest…"
"Wh-What?!"
"Death… death is the only absolute thing… You either bring death, or you die. As simple as that, master!"
Elfina began to panic, whatever nonsense the caterpillar was spitting was not something she wanted to even understand within her pure heart.
The elf continued running away, faster, and faster, but she continued falling into an endless pit of corpses, while the Undead continued to follow her from behind.
"This is what you've brought to yourself."
"This is… what you've provoked."
"This is what you've let happen."
"You've been walking down a road filled with corpses."
"You're not innocent, you're just as sinful as the monster you've summoned."
"This is you, Elfina."
"Ahhhh…! No…! NOOO!"
"This is the darkness of your heart."
"NOOOOOOOO!!!"
Elfina's entire heart and soul slowly began to change color. Her white and golden soul turned completely black, as her heart became as black as charcoal. Her entire body gained countless black tattoos, as her skin turned pale white, as if she were dead. Her blonde hair turned white, and as she opened her eyes, they were completely red.
"…"
She woke up in complete silence, as if she had lost all her reason, all her emotions, all her everything.
"Excellent."
A blue skinned man smiled at her.
He had really lucked out when he found her lying over the empty desert.
She was stung by a wild scorpion and ended getting paralyzed.
She somehow survived thanks to her high HP stat but was incapable of waking up due to her paralysis.
Without anybody to save her, the Genie snatched her.
"I can't believe that just when I lost one, I gained another…! And you're quite the special one, aren't you?"
