Bloodstained Lilium: Chapter 3

Leo and Jai hadn’t spoken to each other in the weeks since that moment in the Doctor’s office.

Adairia and Kyung-Mo had made attempts to get the two to reconcile their friendship, to which Jai had immediately left after seeing Leo’s face. Even the Doctor attempted to get them to makeup but all Jai and Leo did were sit in silence and look at the ground.

Leo wasn’t really sure why he let Adairia, Kyung-Mo or even the Doctor drag him along to these futile meetings, maybe there was a desperate part of him that wanted to save the friendship they’d built up when Leo had first arrived.

Leo was sitting outside in the back garden one day, checking endlessly through Twitter again, seeing that there was an investigation into his father’s work life.

Lucifer still followed Leo around, but from time to time, he would just disappear and Leo would be able to sleep without fear of nightmares or seeing what he had done in the Crypt.

Lucifer leaned over Leo’s shoulder, staring at the phone in Leo’s hands, “I wonder if they’ll catch him for all the filthy shit he’s done.” Lucifer said, “Maybe then they’ll throw you in prison too. The apple never drops far from the tree.”

“They won’t.” Leo said, grimly, “He’s never been caught by the Police. Our family has been doing what they do for decades. They’re not gonna catch him now.” Leo sighed, disappointedly. He will never be fully free of his father. Leo was petrified of looking for ways to escape his father, he knew that he had to, but knew that someone would find out, notify his father and then he risks his life. It was like being trapped in the bottom of a well; If he falls from climbing it, he could die.

“They won’t even catch him for what happened he did to mum.” Leo mumbled to himself.

A faint pitter-pattering started and Leo gazed up at the sky as a small hard ball struck him on the head.

He hissed painfully as he looked down at the object that had hit him and his eyes widened, “Hail.” He muttered.

Leo looked up at Lucifer who smirked at him, “Don’t look at me, you think I have the power to control the weather?” He asked.

Leo pulled his jacket over his head and frantically looked around for shelter before he laid eyes on the greenhouse. More icy orbs fell all around him, hitting the ground with a thunk that shook the earth beneath him, the pellets varying in size.

Lucifer strolled behind him, the glacial bullets hitting him on the head, but no reaction of pain was given. Leo sometimes envied Lucifer for his inability to feel pain. Physical pain at least in the mortal world. Leo had deduced that anything that tried to hurt the demon wouldn’t and he would be completely fine.

Leo sprinted over to the house. He flung the doors open and threw himself inside as the thundering of hail got harder and harder.

He slammed the door shut behind him and sighed a sigh of relief, pulling down his blazer and rubbing the places where more hail had hit him on the head from his sprint.

The clunking of the hail on the greenhouse soothed Leo slightly, he was safe from the clatter of the sky above him.

He sucked in a deep breath and sighed as Lucifer walked through the door and stood next to him in the greenhouse, “You didn’t need to sprint, you would have been fine. You humans are such babies, seriously.”

“Says the demon who ran away when I needed him the most.” Leo shot back.

Lucifer rolled his eyes, “You make it sound like I didn’t even try!” He snapped, “Don’t you dare make it sound like I was just letting Them drag me back to Heaven!”

“Oh shut up you-”

“Leo, who the hell are you talking to?”

Leo felt his blood turn cold at the sound of the other voice. He slowly looked around to the corner of the Greenhouse and saw Jai sitting at a garden table, surrounded by plants. A canvas was in front of him a palette of mixed colors and paint brushes soaking in a plastic water cup.

Tense silence filled the room as Jai gave Leo a boring glare that could carve holes in someone’s skull.

Leo didn’t say anything but just stared back, trying to match Jai’s cold glower.

“God, this is a new level of immaturity.” Lucifer said, crossing his arms, “We’re now stuck in here, with him. The man who called you lazy for not caring about your mental health.” Lucifer said, mockingly, “Just thought I’d reiterate it to you.”

Lucifer inspired some words in Leo to say to Jai, gritting his teeth Leo spoke, “That was really childish of you to say the other day.”

Jai’s angry stare turned into one of confusion, “What?” He asked, “It’s true. You make it sound like it’s my fault that that’s the reality of your situation!” Jai pointed at Leo, “It isn’t my fault that you’re the reason for your problems!”

There was another moment of silence before Jai kicked out the chair in front of him, “Sit down. Let’s talk.”

Leo hesitated.

“We’re here for the next half an hour at least, the hail doesn’t sound like it’s letting up anytime soon so we might as well sort out our problem,” Jai said, rolling his eyes.

With that, Leo didn’t need any more convincing, then walked over to the chair and sat opposite Jai.

Leo looked at the picture that Jai was working on. It was a conjoined house with a block of houses, stairs leading up to the front porch to a door that was wide open, with a man and a woman with a younger woman with them, all smiling and happy.

What a luxury to have.

The house looked well off, green healthy grass covering the front lawn with sunlight shining down upon them.

Jai said before he turned to Leo, “Do you know why you upset me?”

Leo shook his head, “Well, you said that I was privileged.”

Jai nodded, “We’ve lived very different lives and I know people from work who would really benefit from this place, then you come in here and refuse all the help they give you.” Jai narrowed his eyes at Leo, “I admit, I had it pretty good, I got into Mensa and worked my ass off, but my friends and the company I created and worked for had a lot of incredibly smart and capable people, but they were all damaged and broken in some shape or form.” Jai had turned his attention back on the painting, picking up a paintbrush and dipping in brown paint, “And then there’s you. I hear about you and your dad and all I can think is ‘This guy is rich and he’s raised in a really good family, I shouldn’t blame him for his ignorance on what it’s like for the people I know to live’ The people that I worked with have terrible lives and horrible homes or their circumstances made them fall short unlike me.” Jai cleaned off the brush before looking up at Leo, “But, going back to you, I thought, ‘He doesn’t get that he’s lucky for receiving all this. Unless his dad is a crime lord or something, he’s gotta have lived an okay life – up until this point.

“But then, you ended up with 3 murders on your hands, that weren’t exactly your fault.” Jai put down the paintbrush and looked at Leo again and leaned back in his chair, “And you’d think that you would leap at the opportunity to get better. But you don’t. I’m not even sure if you realize you do have a problem.” Jai locked Leo in a gaze, unblinking, “Being the tiny little white-privileged edge-lord you are, you refuse to receive any of the help and that is selfish, rude and above all else very insulting to the people I know and others who can’t have access to a place as helpful as this.” Jai glared at him again, “You have no idea how lucky you are Leonard. You have no idea.”

Leo stared at Jai. He was right, Jai was completely right and Leo felt like an asshole after what Jai had explained. And Leo wished he was better. The least he could do was give it a go, right?

He sighed, “Maybe you’re right…”

Jai nodded, “I am right.”

“I’ll turn my phone in, I’ll give in to the treatment,” Leo said. He looked around at Lucifer when a thought occurred to him.

Lucifer had been leaning against the side of the greenhouse walls as they’d been listening in to Jai’s perspective.

“What are you looking at?” Jai asked him.

“One of my main problems.” Leo looked around at Jai, “And I’m not sure if you’re going to believe me once I tell you this.”

Jai rolled his eyes at Leo, “Oh really? It better be good.” He said, crossing his arms.

“Well, long story short, a demon is following me around because I accidentally killed my best friend that was essentially his savior,” Leo said, quickly.

Lucifer scoffed, “Nice try, he’s not going to believe you.”

Jai stared at Leo before he burst out laughing. He fell back into his chair and hunched over putting his head on the garden table.

“What?!” He laughed, “That’s ridiculous!”

Leo bit his lip nervously as Lucifer stared at the pair.

“A demon?! You mean like with horns and the goat legs?!”

Leo looked at Lucifer, whose face had turned slightly red.

Leo’s blood turned cold as his eyes darted from Lucifer to Jai.

“Does he have a goat face too?!” Jai asked, looking up at Leo, “Has he got bat wings?!”

“Bat wings?! I don’t have any wings at all!” Lucifer bellowed, outraged. He raised his hands in the air and drew an x with the both of them before the Holy Seal broke and Jai flinched as a dash of light flashed in front of his eyes.

Jai hissed painfully, “What the hell was that?!” He rubbed his eyes as Lucifer snarled, “A painful stab of reality.”

Jai took his hands away from his eyes and screamed.

He fell backwards and out of his chair and picked himself up and scrambled out of the greenhouse and into the hail.

“Jai!” Leo shouted. He ran after the other man and stood at the door, watching as Jai scrambled inside the manor and slammed the door shut.

“What the fuck Lucifer?” Leo looked around at the demon.

“I had my wings ripped out of my back; you think I’m not gonna react to that!?” Lucifer protested, “Honestly, you human beings are so nasty sometimes.”

Le Webnovel, cosa sono e in cosa si possono evolvere Web Novels sono storie seriali pubblicate online, spesso gratuitamente, e spesso scritte da autori amatoriali. Queste storie possono essere ambientate in mondi immaginari o in contesti realistici e possono coprire una vasta gamma di generi, tra cui azione, fantascienza, romance e horror. Con il tempo, alcune di queste web novel hanno attirato l'attenzione di editori e produttori di anime e manga, che hanno visto il potenziale per trasformarle in prodotti commerciali più elaborati. Questo processo è iniziato con la creazione di light novel, un tipo di romanzo a fumetti che spesso si basa sulla trama di una web novel. Le light novel sono spesso più brevi e concentrate rispetto alle web novel, e si concentrano sulla narrazione visiva, utilizzando molte immagini e disegni per supportare la trama. Questi romanzi a fumetti sono molto popolari in Giappone e in Asia orientale, e molti di loro sono stati successivamente trasformati in anime o manga. Infine, l'anime e il manga sono formati più elaborati basati sulle storie originali delle web novel o delle light novel. L'anime è una forma d'animazione giapponese, mentre il manga è un fumetto giapponese. Entrambi questi formati utilizzano la voce, la musica e le immagini animate per presentare la storia in un modo più immersivo e coinvolgente. In sintesi, il processo di passaggio dalle web novel alle light novel o manga e infine alle anime è una dimostrazione della crescente popolarità di questi formati e del loro potenziale per diventare prodotti commerciali di successo. Questo processo mostra come le storie originali pubblicate online possono diventare fonti di ispirazione per altre forme di intrattenimento, dando vita a nuove e coinvolgenti esperienze per i fan. #webnovelrecommendation #webnovels #lightnovelwriter #lightnovels #manga #anime #evolution #curiosities #curiosità #describing #italianauthor🇮🇹 Diritti Fonte Immagine: ©️JapanWebMagazine (presso Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoX558isSOE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bloodstained Lilium: Chapter 2

The mental hospital that Leo was sent to was a new establishment, far away from the city. It was a sixteenth century manor house that had been converted into a hospital for those who are unfit for prison and became more of a secure mental health hospital specializing in people under the age of twenty-five.

Out in the back garden of this large looming manor house sat Leo, squatted down in what was his regular attire: A brown tweed blazer and matching trousers with black oxfords and mustard yellow turtleneck. Compared to him everyone was severely under dressed. Leo felt slightly self-conscious when he’d first entered, after seeing staff walk around in white coats and other patients in hoodies and jeans, he’d regretted only bringing turtlenecks, blazers, smart trousers along with other essential items.

He wasn’t sure how long he’d been at the manor house, all the days seemed to bleed into one as he had adjusted to the new environment.

A few rules had been lifted for Leo and so he could do a lot and get away with it without consequence, such as having a phone.

He scrolled through his phone as a gust of wind picked up, Leo pushed his overgrown hair back behind his ear as he read through the sea of comments on a social media website. The comments were all about him; These people whom he didn’t even know making the most unfair judgments on him, Leo wasn’t frightened by what these people said and or threatened anymore. They would all say similar things:

Leonard should be in jail!!

Leonard was a coward who chooses to hide away and-

I was court-ordered here, he thought and rolled his eyes. These people have no idea what they’re talking about. One of the only reasons why people knew of his existence was because of his mother.

There was a weight on Leo’s shoulders that he found impossible to shift. The weight of Charity’s death, the weight of his father’s reputation of having a mad son, the secret his father had forced him to keep from a very young age and to have the public condemn him for what was an act of self-defense that resulted in murder because of his actions.

Leo shivered slightly and looked to his right at Lucifer who was chuckling to himself. Lucifer’s transformation into a real demon was nearly completed, charcoal black nails had grown out of his fingers, now pointed and sharp like cat claws, along with the horns on his head which were now the same color as his fingernails. His greasy hair had parted way for the black horns that stuck out of his head like a bull.

“Care to remind me why you’re stalking me everywhere?” Leo asked the demon coldly.

Lucifer ran a finger under his eyelid to stop the tears of laughter from falling, “I want to stick around.” Lucifer pushed himself up from where he was squatted next to Leo and hung over him, “Your misery is so entertaining and as long as I’m here, I’m going to remind you every day of what you did to Charity until you go batshit crazy from it.”

Lucifer had changed a lot personality-wise. He was once fun to joke around with and it was good to have a conversation about all he’d seen over the time he had lived. But now he’s bitter and cruel, not hesitating to spit harsh words Leo’s way at any time of the day. One could argue that the weight on Leo’s shoulders was Lucifer.

When Lucifer left him alone, Leo felt somber, a friend turned enemy and someone who he would never win back. Remembering the times before the Crypt happened was sour now and Leo could no longer look back on them with fondness. Everything was discontent and tart.

Other times it would be harsher things, Leo’s nightmares consumed him with ghastly events and images of Hell.

Leo’s eyes widened and as he got up to rush away from Lucifer he collided with another patient.

“Addy!” Leo jerked away from her as he heard Lucifer’s burst of laughter from behind him, “What do you want?!”

The ginger woman rubbed her nose and pushed back her long unruly locks, “Dr Harold said he’d like to talk to you. He’s asked me to escort you.” She said, her thick Scottish accent emphasizing the last few words. She ran her nose along the sleeve of her faded hoodie, “C’mon then.” She said, jerking her head for him to follow her as she scratched her neck.

“I hate going to see him.” He muttered before he started to trudge after Adairia.

“Well, it must be irritating since you get into fights with him every time he opens his mouth,” Adairia said, who skipped next to him. “Did you hear about those two guards?”

“Yeah, all too well.” Leo looked over his shoulder at Lucifer, “They both got killed right?”

“Well, one stabbed another guard to death and then took a shit ton of pills.” Adairia explained, “Scary when you think about it, isn’t it? It’s stupidly ironic that this is a mental hospital and that they end up killing themselves here.”

“How did you know that?” Leo asked her.

“Doctor Harold was talking about it to a nurse.” Adairia explained, “Again, ironic considering he’s a mental health professional.”

“I guess a little bit.” Leo murmured. He checked over his shoulder, “And maybe mildly concerning.” Lucifer probably did this and here he was, following behind them.

It was strange to see Lucifer walk, Leo thought to himself. The fallen Angel would only ever fly around or hover a few inches of the ground before the incident.

“Are you going to talk today?” Adairia asked Leo, “To the doctor I mean. And no, I don’t mean you yelling at him. They can send you to prison for it.”

“No, they won’t. I know they won’t.” Leo answered confidently, “And, I don’t like talking about my problems. They normally all just go away when I tell dad that I have an issue.” He said, stubbornly.

The only thing that was keeping him here was his father really. Leo had heard the nurses discussing the fact that his reports keep on getting ‘lost in the post’ or vanishing and that’s why he hadn’t been kicked out and sent to prison yet.

While Leo hated and feared his father, he would not hesitate to jump behind him for defense had an attack of anything came his way. He was the only one who knew of his father’s sway and had used it to his advantage a couple of times; Getting into bars when he was under aged (Which was a rare event nonetheless), when in secondary school, getting his bullies to ‘move abroad’ when they beat him up for the millionth time (Which was one time and after that everyone left him alone.) If you’ve got power or someone you know has power, why don’t you use it to your advantage? Leo had thought. That being said, it was always a last resort if he was desperate.

And desperate times, call for desperate measures.

“You keep on about your father Leo, but he’s not going to be around forever.” Adairia turned around to face him as they made their way past the dining hall and up a flight of mahogany, red-carpeted stairs, “You have to face your problems on your own. You can’t be reliant on your dad all the time.” Her eyes were filled with concern as she spoke again, “I’m seriously worried about you Leo. It can’t be healthy keeping all that locked up. Your dad gives me some bad vibes. I don’t want to bring your mum up but…”

Leo looked at her and narrowed his eyes, annoyed, as Lucifer spoke.

“If only she knew.” Lucifer moaned, mocking a woeful tone behind Leo, throwing a hand over his forehead and leaning backwards.

Leo turned around and scowled at Lucifer who then grinned at him, sticking his tongue between his teeth and lower lip.

“What are you looking at?” Adairia asked him.

“Nothing important.” Leo said. He was severely aware that he and Charity were the only ones who were able to see Lucifer. Which was great for the latter, who could batter and bully Leo to the point of tears. With no hope of getting rid of Lucifer, Leo had just settled on ignoring him, unless he said something that agitated him to no end. Which was most of the time.

“I’m fine, Addy, really.” Leo said, going back to the previous topic of conversation, “Really, I’m alright.”

Adairia pursed her lips and sighed, “Okay… I apologize in advance.”

Leo frowned, furrowing his eyebrows, “What are you talking about?”

Adairia opened the door and jerked her head to the room in front of her.

Leo looked at her, then looked into the room and stepped inside.

Inside stood, Kyung-Mo, Jai and the head practitioner, Dr Harold. He was a tall man with combed-back hair, wearing a white lab coat and suit underneath.

“What is this?” Leo asked as Adairia shut the door behind them. Confusion stirred in him as he looked around the room.

“An intervention.” Jai said, with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms.

“We thought that maybe, this would help you with going into treatment since you’re struggling a lot.” Kyung-Mo explained.

Kyung-Mo, in Leo’s opinion, was probably one of the best-looking men he’d seen in a long time and his heart would do back flips in his rib cage whenever Kyung-Mo was in the same room as him.

Kyung-Mo was the first person to also talk to Leo when he first arrived and in the first few days, Leo stuck to the man like super glue.

“I don’t understand why you’re all doing this? I’m not a drug addict.” Leo looked around at Adairia.

She rolled her eyes at him, “As I said earlier, I’m worried about you. And so are the others!”

Leo sighed, exasperated at the whole situation they’d put him in, “Look, I’m fine. I don’t need any more help than I’ve already got.”

Hot breath passed Leo’s ear and he jumped at Lucifer’s words, “Well, I’m not doing my job properly then, am I?”

“But you don’t show up to therapy sessions.” Dr Harold said, oblivious to Leo’s reaction, “You avoid them. And you yell at me when I confront you about it.”

“Yeah, but I feel like time away from society has helped me a lot!” Leo lied, putting on a fake smile, “And…”

“We’re going to go around the room and have your friends explain why they’re concerned about you and why they think you should have more treatment.” Dr Harold said, unconvinced by Leo’s fib, “We’ll start with Kyung-Mo.”

Kyung-Mo cleared his throat, “Well, I’d just like to start by saying that I understand why you’re upset Leo. But you got sent here for a reason. And particularly with the circumstances behind why you’re here…” Kyung-Mo bit his lip nervously, looking Leo up and down, watching his reaction carefully before he continued, “I fought the treatment too when I got here so I understand that feeling of not trusting the people here. But they all do have good intentions and we do too.” Kyung-Mo looked at the Doctor, “And we’d all like to see you get better and move on with your life because no one should have to dwell on what they did in a moment of panic.”

Lucifer rolled his eyes and fake gagged onto his fingers as if he was making himself throw up, “Yuck, that was a bit too optimistic. Once a killer, always a killer.” Lucifer grinned at Leo, who shot him a death glare.

Dr Harold gave a stiff nod, deaf to Lucifer, “Well said Kyung-Mo. Jai, you next.”

Jai crossed his arms and spoke, “Y’know, I’m confused by you, really Leo,” Jai began, “I think you’re an okay person, nicer and kinder than most people. But when you come here, a place where these people,” He gestured to Dr Harold, “Are willing to help you and you completely dismiss their attempts to help you. You claim that you’re fine, when really, I think you’re in denial. I find it insulting.”

“Denial!?” Leo repeated angrily, “I’m not in denial!”

“That just proves it!” Jai threw his arms out at Leo, “You don’t think you need help, murdering three people has got to mess someone up mentally.” He rubbed his face in irritation, “I want you to be happy, I’ve already said you’re one of the better people of the world. And a part of me thinks that you think you’re beyond help, which I know is not true.”

“Well, someone thinks he is.” Lucifer chimed in.

Leo looked down at the ground, trying to ignore what the demon had said about him, to a room that very clearly was never going to reach the ears of the others.

Maybe Jai was right, or that Lucifer had finally gotten to him. Perhaps he was beyond help and that’s why he wasn’t giving in. His subconscious knew he didn’t deserve it. Killing his best friend was unforgivable.

“Look I’m grateful that you want to help me even more, but I think Jai’s right. I think that some people are just naturally bad and that that’s who I am. That’s where my whole life has been building up to.” Leo thought about his father, the business his father was in and the dark secret.

He could still smell the gun smoke in the air even now and he hated that he could remember it. His stomach churned uncomfortably.

“And now I’m here and I’m getting sick and tired of people thinking that I can move on in my life.” Leo’s eyes felt hot and angry as tears clouded his vision as a cold silence swept the room.

Lucifer whispered to him, “Finally, it’s about time you realized how bad of a person you are. This is all you are and all you’ll ever be.”

‘This is all you are and all you’ll ever be’, The words rang through Leo like a gong from a church bell.

“You’re pathetic.” Jai snapped.

Leo’s head shot up and looked at Jai, “Excuse me?”

“Look at you, so fucking privileged.” Jai was glowering at Leo like Leo had just pulled a million pounds from his pocket and waved it in front of Jai and the others mockingly, “I can’t believe you. I held back because I knew that this wasn’t the way to go but now, I see it’s not that you’re guilty.” Jai gritted his teeth as he spoke, “You’re just lazy.”

There was silence again before Jai continued, “You can’t be bothered to fix your mental health. You’ve lost all faith in yourself to try and get better. What’s the point of trying to cover up your problems and hiding them away if they’re just going to get worse and nothing will change in the end? You might as well just go to prison.”

Jai walked past Leo, crashing into his shoulder and heading for the door and past Adairia.

He opened the door and slammed it shut behind him.

Silence swept the room.

Leo looked around at the Doctor, Kyung-Mo and then at Adairia.

“I don’t know if we handled that in the best way.” Adairia said in a disappointed tone.

[My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! ✅ + My Next Life as a Villainess Side Story: On The Verge of Doom!] More at my blog blisscast.wordpress.com, www.vintagepeople.it, and www.gamerevs.it, links in bio! . I absolutely love light novels! Although sometimes they might be dozens of volumes long, they often manage to do amazing world-building, and are immensely charming to read. My favorite genre of light novel is definitely isekai, the ones where a normal person gets stranded into another unknown world. Sadly some of these only have protagonists being overpowered and offer no room for strategic and critical thinking, but there are many others which are far from boring. . The one you see on the right is a good example of this. We have our heroine, fan of otome games (the visual novels where, as a girl, you basically have to choose the right options to marry your favorite guy), gets reincarnated in the last one she played. Sounds normal so far, until she realizes she's in fact the villainess! And of course, the game states that the villainess must lose. Our protagonist has time from just after her birth as the villainess to find a way to avoid getting killed or exiled from the kingdom she's destined to be the duchess of. It's extremely amusing to read, especially when the poor protagonist is thinking up some new complex plan to make the situation better. She isn't overpowered at all, because the entire world is against her character, thus she'll be forced to act smart to survive. . The manga on the right, conversely, has a different take on the story, as this time our protagonist has no memories of her past life until she's a teen. This means she has about a year to prepare before the actual events of the game she played finally start. . I'd really love to get ahold of the other volumes sometime (wish my Amazon helped). I'll wait a bit to read the manga maybe, as it might contain spoilers for the main series. If you don't want to read the novel, you can always watch its anime adaptation! . #mynextlifeasavillainessallroutesleadtodoom #mynextlifeasavillainess #katarinaclaes #satoruyamaguchi #lightnovel #lightnovels https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdW9hKoGvU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
