A malicious void entity who owned (at LEAST) half of your soul, your friend? Yeah, it could happen.

Lord X. You’d played his game, and somehow managed to be able to stay home and be allowed to ‘enjoy’ some of your life before eventually getting put into Lord X’s game.

Why is ‘enjoy’ in quotation marks?

Recently, you’d been dealing with issues regarding your identity. You had been bullied and ridiculed due to how you expressed yourself, and it made you feel.. powerless. Hopeless. Pained. You were close to just completely hiding everything about yourself, and one day, you found yourself talking about it to Lord X, for some reason.

X sat there as you talked, a weirdly serious look on his face while you recounted your worries. By now, you assumed it would be making fun of you, or brushing you off.

As you started to mention hiding yourself, that was when Lord X interrupted you.

“Hiding who you are on the inside will only torment you,” He mused almost absentmindedly, looking into your eyes with a weird intensity. “I thought you were smart enough to realize that.”
