’This was it, after this, there is no going back. This is the turning point, this is just and the ghosts that haunt this cursed graveyard.’ I took a deep breath, my lungs inhaling the air. It was thicker than usual, maybe because this place was tied with fear and other emotions similar to it.
The whispers, the laughter, the shouting, I heard it all. This place was full of mixed emotions, after all, everyone has a different view of this world so no one could be feeling the exact sa emotions as another.
But this wasn’t about others, there was no more delaying it.
I tensed my feet, and in a second I dashed into the volcano of white fla. My skin felt like it was about to fall off, and my muscles were giving up, but I didn’t let that keep down.
If I couldn’t get past the first obstacle of The Core, how would I even survive one day inside?
I continued walking through the endless flas, my sweat evaporating as it left my red forehead.
Whenever entering a trial or an infected mory you don’t have to go through this process, as they are made out of one mory so it’s quite easy for the system to complete its task.
But that wasn’t the case for The Core, it wasn’t made by one mory, nor ten or one hundred, anwhile, the exact number isn’t known, it is said that it holds every mory of the past and present, and will continue to grow with the help of the mories that will co in the future.
Whenever I referred to this place as hell I ant this process not the actual thing... hell doesn’t compare to it.
...
I walked through the endless flas for hours on end, wishing for the system to just finish already, but my prayer was in vain.
I could feel my skin collapsing from all the heat, and how I could hardly move my limbs anymore.
It felt like I was trapped in an inferno, constantly sinking deeper and deeper. Which wasn’t a nice feeling.
Because of all the fire around , there was hardly any oxygen around and it had beco terribly hard to breathe. Every ti I inhaled I felt like my throat was on fire and my lungs were about to explode.
It felt like my whole body imploding, my bones first to break from all the pressure I’d been pressing against them.
It was like I was both alive and dead, an indescribable feeling that only those who experience it know how it feels.
I started to tremble, as I slowly descended to the ground. As it hit the burning ground, my face was instantly pampered by flas leaving, making adrenaline rush through every space of my body to get it quickly to the ground.
...
After so ti, the pain was gone. But it wasn’t because the flas were weakening, but because most of my nerves had lost their ability to feel, either burned off or completely destroyed.
But at least it was more bearable... well on the outside as with my nerves destroyed I only got closer to crossing the line from alive into the death territory.
And with ti slowing down, I felt my mind going blank as everything beca dark. My soul trying to escape my body, or should I say this boy’s body.
Was I really about to fall to The Core so easily? Im sure that human from before was able to survive, so dying here ant losing to him.
’That’s just not sothing that’s going to happen!’ With this newfound determination, I pushed through, but my low oxygen level caused to lose my balance and made slowly fall to the ground yet again. But this ti I wouldn’t have the power to push up.
So this... was the end?
Really? I fell so easily, and why was this fall so slow? Was I not falling, no that’s just stupid, my brain was just on overti right now trying to find a solution and so that was why it looked like my descent was getting slower and slower.
I was the one getting faster, but it wasn’t like I could have used it in any way, after all this is the brain’s last resort before death so even it knows this is the end.
Well, looks like my journey is going to end pathetically. Do I have any regrets... of course I do.
I watched as my face slowly touched the ground and my body soon followed it and closed my eyes accepting death.
But after so seconds I opened them again only to find myself in a black room. There was only darkness, but I did not hate it after being surrounded by those white flas for whole hours.
’Wait... so I survived?’ Had I managed to get passed the fla passage? Or was this just what you see whenever you die?
My questions were soon answered as I heard the system speak in my ear, and when it turned to where it ca from I could see a screen. I’ve done it!
But, this screen wasn’t like the ones from before, I was new. It had a bloodshot color, and the text written on it had a very unique style, the curves being very pronounced. It had a long black tail, which movent reminded of a snake. At the end, it curled into the shape of a spade.
Two horns were also present, pointing at with their sharp ends. They had many stripes with a slightly lighter black than their normal ones.
And if the angelic screen had clouds this one had bright red flas... which was far better than the white ones, to be honest.
On the demonic screen, it read the following words.
[Contractor Moon... welco to your grave]
’Well, that’s not a nice way to welco your gravekeeper .’ I smiled mischievously as the screen started at , from it imitating a feeling of hatred.
