This choice: You roll into the sword, slicing your lower half off!  •  Go Back...
Chapter #6

Whittling yourself away!

    by: Airship-King Author IconMail Icon
With a bit of work, you start slowly rolling your limbless body toward the sword! You're super eager to test if it works, the magic of the sword having erased your previous uses of it from your mind, at least until someone points out your current state. It takes more effort than most people would think it would to just flip yourself over without limbs, but you manage it. Once, twice, three times... Finally, you complete one last roll onto your belly, causing the sword to slice through your waist in the process!

As your butt tumbles away, you blink a little in confusion. What were you doing? Oh, right, you were going to use the sword to chop your head off. Duh. But how'd you get turned around facing the wrong way? You shake your head. You must have gotten confused somehow. You feel oddly exhausted for some reason, maybe you're just tired? That must be why you lined yourself up wrong.

Carefully, you start to use your armless shoulders to drag yourself around. Fortunately, your body is very light, so even with just the rounded little nubs where a normal person's arms would be, it doesn't take you long at all. You take a look at the blade as you line your neck up with it. You're really about to decapitate yourself!
