Chapter 7
I was taken to another room inside the lab which looked like a typical operation theatre and was laid to rest by Kanou with the help of anesthetics.
My whole world suddenly turned black and I fell into a slumber but not much time was passed and found myself in a dark room lying on my back, I observed my body and strangely my body was clearly visible to me in spite of the darkness.
I stood up and started moving, wondering what’s going on but without any former warning I started feeling pain covering each and every cell of my body and I was forced to kneel on the ground by the extreme pain, It felt as if bugs were crawling all over my insides and eating them as they move past it.
I was in the same state for what felt like an eternity, I didn’t know how long I have been tormented by this pain, I thought that I would get used to it as time passes, but instead, the pain became more and more aggravating as seconds passed.
The pain has finally reached a point where I wished to die rather than be tormented by it any longer, the worst thing about this was that I was unable to even pass out as a final hope I started banging my head on the floor but no matter how much I hit my head on the floor, my head didn’t hurt a bit nor did I felt dizzy suddenly when I had given up all hope and thought I would suffer from this pain for all eternity to come, the floor beside me started having some movements, when I turned to look at it, I saw a dagger taking shape with the help of the dark material the ground was made up of.
Soon enough a black knife with a black handle had taken form right in front of me. I didn't think much on how a dark knife was clearly visible to my eye in this dark room and swiftly without thinking for another second grasped hold of that dagger and with both my hands holding it I raised it above my head and plunged it furiously inside my chest.
I never thought that killing myself with my own two hands would bring me joy instead of guilt and sadness. I was finally relieved from this tormenting pain, I closed my eyes peacefully with a smile and laid back on the ground as I breathe my last breath.
“So it was all a dream”, I said to myself when I saw myself lying on the bed in the operational theatre.
“So you’re finally awake”, I glanced at the voice and saw Kanou sitting on a chair reading some book.
“How long was I out?” I asked,
“Not much, the Operation lasted till Monday morning and its Monday evening right now, so you rested for more than 10 hrs after the operation,” Kanou said and then asked,
“How is it? Do you feel any changes in your body right now?”
“I’m not quite sure, it does feel that something foreign is inside my body though. Are my eyes like a ghoul?”, I asked,
“Nope, they are normal for now, we’ll know when you get hungry but your wounds from the surgery are already healed so I believe you’re already a ghoul, or should I say a half-ghoul.”
I stood up from the bed to try out my new body.
