As I sit in my decrepit, dimly lit chamber, surrounded by the stench of rot and the whispers of the damned, I ponder the true meaning of art. My craft, the art of soul harvesting, is a delicate dance of pain and debauchery. It’s a symphony of screams, a ballet of blood, and a masterpiece of manipulation. My latest subject, a young and plump monk, squirms in his restraints, his eyes wide with terror as I prepare to extract his soul. I savor the fear that clings to him like a shroud, a palpable mist that I can taste and smell. It’s a heady aroma, one that I’ve grown accustomed to over the centuries.
My hands move with a life of their own, a choreographed routine of cruelty and precision. I take great care in selecting the right tools for the job, each one a trusted companion in my twisted art. The look of horror on the monk’s face is music to my ears, a sweet serenade that I’ve come to associate with the sweet taste of victory. I’ve spent centuries perfecting my craft, and it shows in the way I can extract the very essence of a person’s being. It’s a delicate process, one that requires patience, skill, and a healthy dose of sadism. And when it’s all said and done, I’m left with a soul that’s mine to command, a plaything to be used and discarded at my whim.
As I take a moment to admire my handiwork, I’m struck by the beauty of it all. The monk’s body, limp and lifeless, is a testament to my skill and artistry. His soul, now mine to command, will join the countless others that I’ve collected over the centuries. It’s a vast and twisted library, one that I’ve spent eons building. And as I reach out to claim my next victim, I’m filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation. For in the world of the necromancer, there’s no greater joy than the art of soul harvesting, and I’m the master of this twisted game.
