Gods' Impact Online-Chapter 328: Zagreus

Chapter 328: Zagreus

"Hah?! What gave you that idea?" Misha asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"What do you mean? Are you stupid or what? Or are you just trying to play dumb so you can fool me?!" Kayden shouted.

"...."

"What's with that face? You deliberately entered this death gaming knowing well about the risk; for who?! Zach. You always talk about him and look at him with a smile you have never shown me before!"

"..."

"Heck, forget about this game. Even in the real world, you were always so clingy to Zach and tried to hug him whenever you saw him. Even though he felt uncomfortable, you never stopped doing that."

"What's weird about that?" she asked with a confused look on her face.

"You never greet me like that!"

"That's because you have feelings for me! You don't see me as your sister but as a woman. How am I supposed to hug you?"

"What's wrong with that? Can't you just hug me like a normal person would? It's true that I have feelings for you, but it's not me hugging you; it's you who is hugging me."

Misha rolled her eyes and asked, "And what's the difference? We will be touching each other in the end, which I don't want."ᴘᴀ ɴ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠᴇʟ

Kayden grabbed Misha's shoulders and clutched them tightly with all his might.

"But why?!"

Misha finally snapped and slapped Kayden's hand nonchalantly.

"So you want me to touch you?! That's your love, huh?! Making intimate contact and calling it love?" Misha glared at Kayden and uttered, "You just want my body. You don't love me, at least, not in a way a lover would."

"That's not true! Having intimate contact is the basic step of a relationship," Kayden retorted.

"Just admit that you want to sleep with me." Misha spread her arms and said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want with my body. You can r*pe me as much as you want, and I won't even let out a scream or tell anyone about it."

"....!"

"You can satisfy your needs using my body as many times as you want. But remember, I will never love you. No matter what you do," she asserted in a solemn voice.

"What the hell are you saying?! I would never do something like that!"

"Well, you would have if I hadn't pointed it out. You have always been like this. Misunderstand things and jump to conclusions without even getting enough intel or thoughts from others." pᴀɴda nᴏvel

"Okay, that makes sense. But that changes nothing. You always favor Zach over me, and don't you even dare to deny that."

"I still don't understand what you are so angry about and how the conversation about the water bottles turned into this mess. But listen!" Misha poked her finger on Kayden's chest and said, "I do love you but as a brother. I care for you, and I worry about it. And as for Zach, it's the same. I love him, but there are no romantic feelings involved."

"Then who do you love more? Zach or me?" Kayden asked with a judging look on his face. "And please, answer honestly."

"Zach…" Misha replied while averting her gaze.

"Why him?" Kayden asked in a low voice.

"..." Misha didn't say anything in response.

"What's so great about him? I know he is a cool guy, and I don't hate him either. He is my best friend, my childhood friend. But why would you choose him over me?"

Misha hugged herself and muttered, "I cannot tell you that."

"Why…? Can't you see I am suffering here? All these years, I have always known that you loved Zach. But I tried, and I tried. I hoped you would finally look at me and start loving me one day."

He smiled wryly and said, "But I was living in a fairytale." ,c,om

"..."

"Come on. Please answer. Please end my suffering. At least, tell me the reason…"

Misha bit her lips and said, "I can't… I want to tell you, but I can't…"

"You know, even Zach had noticed that you liked him. But he knew that I loved you, so he always kept his distance from you and avoided any skin contact with you. He must have felt bad and guilty all this time, but he endured everything." he chuckled weirdly.

"..."

"When I told him that you and I were going out and lied about us being engaged, he was happy. I was left speechless after seeing the smile on his face. Really, I had no words."

A brief pause later, he continued, "Not going to lie, I hated Zach because you loved him more than me. It was just jealousy, envy. I didn't mean or wish any harm to him. But when I saw him happy after knowing about our (fake) relationship, I felt pathetic."

"He purposely avoided you and did everything for my sake so that our friendship doesn't get destroyed, but in the end, I was just being selfish and wanted you all by myself…"

Kayden finally realized his mistake and learned that his feelings for Misha were nothing but an obsession. Sure, he did love her, but was it a romantic feeling?

"I will give up on you now. You can never be mine, and I have accepted that. So can you please tell me why you chose Zach over me?" he asked calmly this time. "If I don't know the answer to that, I would never be able to give up on you. So please say something that I can never compete against Zach for."

"I… can't…" Misha shook her head repeatedly and said, "I can't do that."

Kayden bit his lips in frustration and said, "Here, I am ready to give up on you, and you can't even do one thing for me?!"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you. I would have told you everything if I could. Trust me, it's for your own good." Misha ran up the stairs to her room after saying, "We will talk about this later someday."

pᴀ ɴda nᴏv el SIGH!

Kayden turned off the lights and went to his room.

Misha also entered her room and noticed the lamp light was off.

"Hmm? I am pretty sure I turned it on. Did I turn them off before going downstairs?" she wondered. "Well, whatever. I need to sleep. After all, I have to attend Zach's summit tomorrow."

She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes.

"That was truly an interesting conversation," a sinister male voice uttered from the dark corner of the room.

Misha immediately opened her eyes and grabbed her sword that was lying on the side of the bed before turning on the lamp light.

A figure was sitting on the chair, and his name was Overlord.

He was wearing black clothes, black armor, black gloves, black shoes, and a black mask on his face. Everything was black, and no part of his body was visible, not even his eyes.

"Uh ah. Don't do anything reckless, or you might regret it," the Overlord said.

Misha frowned her face and asked, "Who are you? And how did you get here?"

"My name is Zagreus. And I am the God of Death and Destruction."
