Gods' Impact Online

"If we are the same, why did you kill Shay? Wasn\'t he our friend?" Zach asked with a frustrated and gloomy look on his face.

"Argh! You are still hung up on that?"

"..."

"I killed him because he would have become our… well, yours, actually; he would have become your enemy," the Overlord shrugged his shoulders and said, "If not, he would have died in the near future anyway. So what does it matter? We were never close to Shay anyway."

Zach clenched his fists and mumbled, "You are lying. I don\'t know what the fuck you are on about, but I considered Shay my best friend. He and Kayden were always there for me. They were the only ones who had put their trust in me.

He is the reason we agreed to play a VR game and got stuck here. He is the reason we met Aurora and the girls. He is the reason I am what I am today. Without him, nothing would have happened. We would be living the same old boring life.

Aurora and Victoria would have died alone in this game. Aria would still be suffering, Ninia would still be lost, and Aquarius and Ruli would have been living their fated lives. We would have never reunited with Master Xie Lua.

What about all that, huh?

In the human world, we couldn\'t use magic, we couldn\'t cultivate, we couldn\'t do anything. Coming into this game allowed us to become what we were destined to be. How else would we have found out what truly happened to father?

I don\'t know what happened to you or how much you have suffered, but if you were me, you would have never forgotten all that."

"Oh. I get it." The Overlord let out a weary sigh and groaned, "You are an idiot. A dumbass. A naive kid. Why does all that matter? Why do you care about all that, huh? It\'s your life, and you should care about yourself. Let all of them die, who cares?"

"I would never say those words. You are not me. Even if you claim to be me, you are not me!"

"And here we are. Why do I even try, to suffer?" the Overlord covered a black matter in his hand and said, "No pun intended."

"You are not me! I will never become like you!"

"Oh, we are very much alike, Zach. You just don\'t realize it. No, you do realize it, but you refuse to admit it. There is little to no difference between us, except I am smarter and stronger than you, while you are a dumbass.

Your entire life is a play, Zach. And you have been doing nothing but acting, pretending to be someone you are not. Ever since you were born, you have been fooling everyone.

First, you wanted to become a proud son for your father, but you failed. You are nothing but a pathetic loser. When you made your first friend of your age, you only became friends with him because you thought you could use him in the future. You only pretended to be Kayden\'s friend. In fact, you never considered him as one."

"You are lying!" Zach glared at the Overlord as his eyes began changing color. "You don\'t know anything about me!"

"Your anger makes everything clear. Next, your first love— Misha, Kayden\'s step-sister. You loved her and wanted to marry her, and that\'s the only reason why you got close to their family."

"..."

"But then you discovered Kayden loves Misha too, so you began maintaining a distance with Misha. What was that for? Why would you do something like that for no reason? Did you think Kayden would hate you if you stole his sister from you?

No, the only reason you could do that was to still keep being friends with him. Everything you have done in your life was for your own selfish gain, and once you were done using them, you threw them away.

Victoria, for example. Did you think you dated her because you loved her? No. You wanted to date her because you lusted after her. The most beautiful girl in the school had a crush on you because you saved her life and proved her innocence.

You had this sense of superiority over everyone. You thought you were better than every boy in the school, and that\'s why Victoria chose you. But soon, you realized that wasn\'t the case.

You noticed that you actually fell in love with her but weren\'t sure. You didn\'t want to change the reason for dating her, and that\'s precisely why you didn\'t mind having a fling with Siesta. If you wanted, you could have easily gotten rid of the evidence from her. You had plenty of chances, but you didn\'t. Why?

Because you wanted to keep your little affair last longer. Sure, you began dating Victoria after that, but that doesn\'t change the fact that you were enjoying cheating on her. You didn\'t love Siesta, but you loved Victoria.

Whatever happened between you and Siesta was just a fling, but that doesn\'t matter, as you still continued that even when you were going out with Victoria. And then you had sex with her.

You could have reconciled with her if you wanted to, but you didn\'t. You wanted her to dump you so you could get on with—."

"That\'s a lie! She didn\'t come to—"

"She didn\'t come to school the next day, yes." The Overlord interjected Zach and continued, "I knew exactly what you were going to say."

"..."

"So what if she didn\'t come to school? You could have gone to her house, but you didn\'t. Your half-assed feelings and actions led to what happened next.

Hear me, Zach. You are pretending everything. Even now, you think you have changed, but you have not. You say we are not the same, but we are. Do you want to know why and how?"
