Chapter 2 - Torment

Gen: The first day... the very first day I come to school I encounter this...

In front of him is his grandfather's drawer the first thought in mind is to find something to defend himself with.

Gen: (It won't budge... so it means there are things that cannot be interacted... everything is so dark the colors are either gray or purple... but that cabinet seems to retain its color.)

Approaching the cabinet he noticed it can be opened and within is a blue box. Let's see whats inside, please be something awesome like a class or artifact. Inside was a barbel with a protruding "Z" shape on the side.

Gen: I know what it is but why does it have to be a barbel!? Most of all it weighs 30 kg how unfair!!

Trying to move it he wished it was lighter. Without warning, it shrank.

Gen: Wah!! So convenient!

Moving on he tried to search everywhere if he might have missed something but it seems that cabinet it the only the he can interact with in the room. Next is his room across his grandpa's. Going outside the room he turned left and saw the seemingly endless dark hallway gave him goosebumps.

Gen: Even my room seems terrifying...

Inside he saw a mirror with a golden frame with a very antique look giving him quite a bad feeling.

Getting close he saw a reflection of himself except it was looking up with red veins on its eyes. It seems to want me to look up.

Gen: (I am not gonna looking up I have a very bad feeling about it.)

Weirdly it isn't even trying to hide that it wants me to look up. He was using his right hand to point upwards.

Gen: I am not gonna looking up!

It was getting quite annoyed and shake its hand up and down and his eyes are bulging, quite disgusting.

Gen: Enough! I am...

Suddenly it looked at me... it felt like can kill me at anytime, blood started to drip out of his mouth and suddenly appearing on his left hand is... my head. Out of panic I touched my head glad that it was still there.

Gen: Okay I am looking up are are you happy now!?

The me in the mirror seems satisfied and the blood and head disappeared... though its still disgusting. When I looked up I notice on the wall on top of the mirror sticking to the wall is a small chest. So I tried to move the mirror and saw myself being unhappy.

Gen: Okay! okay... I'll just try my best to reach up.

In front of my face is... my face grinning and satisfied. I opened the chest. Inside is a metallic black bow and a letter:

Congratulations!! You have found an artifact. An artifact is something you can take with you as long as it is within 6 feet range of the owner when inside an event. You have found the "Bow of Trust" You can take only up to 3 artifacts with you each event. if you want to find out the artifacts status just say the "name of the weapon" and "open" you will receive a letter and within 10 mins. it will disappear or if you let go of it."

Excited Gen shouted: Bow of trust open!

Bow of Trust

Class 4 Artifact

Rarity: Rare

A bow once made by a familiar of a man living in darkness. Having being the only one to protect its master the bow was made to fire as many times to how much the owner trusts his weapon. Rumor is said once there was an owner with the unlimited trust of the owner it can fire unlimited arrows turning the tide on the battlefield

Ability:

Arrows of Mutual Consent

The times it can fire its arrow is proportional to the times the owner enters the event or the trust of the owner towards its owner

Arrows that can be fired: 5

Growth limit: ?

Gen: Woah! A class 4 artifact and it is a weapon type too!? Thanks me!

Then looking at the mirror there is no reflection left of myself.

Gen: Well anyways that's that I still need to be cautious as that one might be good but you'll never know. (Once I have heard inside the event there are traps and mazes, I have got to be very careful.)

Gen: Phew! Nothing left on the second floor. Finally... downstairs...

Slowly putting one foot then the other trying to prevent noise from escaping. His voice turning ragged and his heart beating furiously.

Gen: (Why does our stairs need to have this many steps...)

Gen didn't notice already three noises escaping something appeared behind him. It was a lady with black hair and fair skin with red piercing eyes. Gen looked back.

Gen: Mother...

He recognized the lady and it was the spitting image of his mother in the pictures his grandpa use to let him see.

Gen: (I'm not gonna be fooled and say "Mom where have you been all this time... I miss you!" then

get torn to bits! I'm no fool... though why of all things that it has to be my mother. It looks so real my chest hurts even though it is a random.)

Running pass the front door he saw there was 4 slots on it.

Gen: 4 keys!? I only have one!

Hiding from the random he tried to look near the corner under the stairway and saw the random extremely close to his face. He ran but only saw the random walking slowly. Going through the kitchen he saw a box... inside was... a mouth it jumped up to him but he dodged.

Gen: A trap of all times!?

Again he ran trying to find as many boxes and chests he can find finally obtained every key and returned to the front door but all this time in front of it was... the random guarding it all this time.

Gen: You're not trying to kill me right!? come on let me go... if you tried to kill me I would have already died before when I was at that corner... so its cool right?

As Gen tried to get close to the door the lady attacked! her claws cut through his chest. Three diagonal wounds appeared with drops of blood flowing turning his shirt little by little crimson red and the worst part it started opening slowly revealing his insides. Yellow fats and tron flesh exposed letting out more and more blood coming out. The lady looking at the wound turned her expression to a serene and gentle one almost alleviating the pain inside me but suddenly turning her smile to a maniacal one giving her a monstrous expression.

Gen: Am I gonna die... at this rate I will loose too much blood...

Having no hope left he suddenly remembered something...

Gen: (I remember... I'll use that to fight back.)

Gen threw something unexpected towards the lady it is... the miniature barbel.

Gen: (If it can become small then it can become big also...)

Suddenly through what he willed the miniature barbel returned to its 30 kg full size one crushing the lady hitting her head. Because of the speed her head burst open like fragile glass being hit by a cannonball. Juices came of her skull and pinkish substance that seems like her brain flowed out halfway mixed with blood and flesh on her side. As he notice his wounds stopped opening and the pain alleviated his consciousness slightly clearing. He noticed what was in front of him and vomited with a bit of blood mixed in.

Gen: (Why does it have to look so real... It kinda feels like I killed my mother even if I didn't... I need to get out of here my consciousness is fading and I don't think I can stand it anymore.)

Holding his chest with his left hand, he tried to fit all keys then the door opened. When he got out before he lost his consciousness regret flowed as he remembered something...

Gen: (Why didn't I just use the bow I got...)

Falling down in front of his house Gen lost his consciousness and fell asleep out in the cold night.
