Chapter 24
🕑 Added 2025-03-07 22:08:16 +0000 UTCI spent the rest of the day smiling, playing jokes, training with the others, as if I didn't know, I didn't know about Xavier's machinations behind everyone's back.
I held my emotions under control, I smiled, laughed, cried during the movie, I was normal, I looked normal, but I wasn't.

My smiles were fake, my laughs were fake, my tears were fake, everything until this morning had been fake, but they had no idea.
Whenever my eyes fell on Xavier, I was able to hold myself back only thanks to my powers keeping me in check, if it hadn't been for them, I am not sure I would be able to hold back.
And finally, dinner time came, after eating with everyone, I headed back to my room, and closed my eyes, something I had discovered about my powers, was that unless I wished to sleep, I would never do so, I could look like I was sleeping, but I woulden't actual be doing so.
And so Kurt fell asleep, then the other kids fell asleep, then the teachers, and lastly Xavier, I remained the only one awake, and it was time for my escape.
Recalling my new power, I summon an instant dungeon, using the empty version, and just like I had thought, space warped all around me, like a blanket that covered my reality, a carbon copy of the room, only without Kurt, appeared.

You are inside an Instant Dungeon
Based on your current Int, you can remain inside of a dungeon for 5 hours and 10 minutes, increase your Int or buy a specific perk to increase your available time.
Going in and out of a dungeon in rapid succession won't make the timer reset, for a dungeon time to reset you have to remain outside for 1 hour.

That was plenty enough, so I didn't waste time and went all around the mansion, stealing things I knew belonged to Xavier and that could have been sold for a penny, did I need money? No, was fucking with Xavier worth it? Hell Yes, I even gained a skill out of this.

Paintings, silverware, tea sets, anything that looked shiny enough went directly inside my inventory.
After the previously luxurious mansion turned into a bare mansion, I finally went outside, the smile on my face widening when I felt the parasite inside my mind try to compel me to go back, return everything I had stolen, and say sorry.
Fuck that, instead, you know what?
Taking out my knife, I quickly carved the walls of the living room, the kitchen, the bathrooms, and every room that had no one sleeping in it the words:" Xavier lies, do not belive him, also he is a fucking mind rapist."
Would that make them know it was me? Yeah, but considering I was already escaping the mansion, they would know regardless, what I was pointing towards was the small chance that someone believed my words, that someone asked themself how good Xavier was, and how much he was hiding from everyone.
That made me remember one last thing, so as a last slap to Xavier's ego I went to the back of the mansion, summoning Obsidian for this one.
'Obsidian, can you help me by transferring some of your mana?'
The little dragon nodded and placed his small claw on my leg, my previous mana pool was like a drop in the ocean against Obsidian's, and he was still an infant dragon, how powerful would he be as an adult?
Regardless, I turned my focus back to the task at hand, remembering the first time I had done so, I come in contact with the light green mana that filled every blade of grass, every leaf, every tree, and talked to them, showed them my emotions and how Xavier was nothing but a tyrant who wished nothing but the best for himself.
I felt my perk Nature's Chosen take effect, the nature responded to my voice, heard my words, and made sure that I knew that they will never support Xavier ever again, Nature as a whole being will never support someone, now that is a big hit.
The grass withered, the leaves fell, the trees died, all nature began dying from the further point of the garden, all slowly crawling towards me, it would have been a wonderful scene straight out of a film, but I wasn't in the mood.
When all the trees died, and the grass came down to my feet, all the mana that had until that point focused on reducing everything to a wasteland began spinning in front of me, becoming smaller and smaller, until it took the shape of a black wooden ring with a light green gem on the top of it, marks similar to my tattoo all around the body of the ring.

Seeing what I had caused, seeing how a once green forest had been reduced to nothing more than dead trees and bushes, I decided on a perfect name, a name that would perfectly capture the start of my journey against Xavier.

I immediately wore the ring, feeling a pleasing sensation the very moment it touched my skin, and seeing what looked like vines form a tight grasp around my finger, so that unless I willingly removed it no one could ever do it.
Happy with the result, I turned to the man that had until this point been watching me, to the man that had caused all of this.
" A-"
I immediately stopped him, vines grasping his neck and shutting him, not choking him but surely making his slimy mouth remain shut.
" I am not killing you today, you would be seen as a martyer, I am going to make them see what you have done, and be sure that nothing will stop me, I will not sleep, eat, or even die before I see all you have built crumble right in front of your eyes, be warned Xavier, this has been your last mistake."
And I disappeared inside an ID leaving a barely breathing Xavier to the aid of the incoming mutants.
'Now, it's time to meet a floating piece of paper face to face.'
