Chapter 3

  Haah Hah Haah hah

  Leaning against the wall as he roughly breath, shiver and chills still lingers to his body as tried calming himself. If once he thought this was merely a joke, a simple prank, just a bad dream, now

  ".... Wh.. What the fuck was that!?"

  Now he was unsure, to where is he

  "That was... That was..... What the hell!"

  To where he should be

  "Fuck!"

  Under the thick cloud of this mist, he slowly made his way forward, using the cold walls to assist him as he walk.

  Haah Hah hahh

  Still anxious, still unsure, with fear looming beside him, even thinking nor walking straight was hard for him to do. In this old, unknown place, what should he do?

  Squelch

  '!?'

  [What should he supposedly do?]

  '!'

  Bleaurgh...

  Splattered body, chopped limbs, as if being rolled over by a tractor, mawed into such grosteque scene. Whether it was human or something else, he doesn't know, as the stench and its figure alone made him vomit, bended on the ground as fear now hold him tight

  'What the hell is that!?'

  He thought

  'Who did that!?'

  He ask

  'What the fuck is going on?!'

  He wonders. His mind was disarray, his body was heavy

  "Christene?"

  '!?'

  "Christen! Christen?!"

  A voice, a sudden voice just out of nowhere called out in this dimly place

  'A human!?'

  But even how much he try, his body doesn't listen as if he was rooted to the ground. His hands won't let go, nor does his fee wants to get up, he could only do was stare upfront to where the voice comes from, trying to see with his hazy sight.

  "Christene.. Kkk? Christene!"

  '... Aa... A... Aaa....'

  He wants to reply, he wants to yell, yet not even a whisper leaves his throat. He just wish that whoever that was

  "Kraa-Christene! Kraakkk... Christene!?"

  "..."

  Could atleast come over towards him

  "Krreekksteennne!? Kkreekkkk!"

  "!"

  To let him know

  "Krreeaaakkk! Chhhrriiskkkkteene!"

  "!!"

  [Who was it?]

  "Kreeraaakkk!"

  A skinless creature with a thin feature, as if a walking bamboo stick in this abandoned ruin. 4 arms and legs, with a mismatched pair of eyes - one was bulging while the other sunken deep into its skull - both glimmers in a hungry gleam. Fleshless skeletal frame with bones jutting out at odd angles beneath its pale, slick and sinew muscles.

  Drip Drip Drip

  Under its cavernous teeth

  "!?"

  Was half of the once head, with eyes and skin hanging by its mouth. Blood drops with its saliva mixed, tightenedly secured between those sharp teeth.

  "Kkrrr-Ccchrissssteeenee!"

  And as his eyes wonder down below, as the mouth of this monster didn't move yet spoken, was a large hole with a spiral structure, with a long disgusting tongue. Its abdomen was its mouth also. He unconsciously hold his breath as the monster pass him, with his body frozen.

  [Was he afraid? Fear can't describe what he experienced, it was different yet the same. What was it?]

  .....

  Hours passed as he was left frozen to the side of this dimly corridor. His eyes were unmoving, his breathing was silent, his body turned pale, yet even with such time he wasn't hungry nor thirsty, he was just unsure, unsure how or why is he here? What is going to happen to him?

  He couldn't think straight, even if he tried, he just couldn't. He just couldn't face the fact that thing won't be the last nor the 1st if he stay longer in this place, in this unknown land.

  .....

  Swooosh

  As the cold wind passes through

  Tok Tok Tok

  As a droplets of water falls, Hyunwoo, though feeling unease he tried to comfort himself that staying out won't get him anywhere.

  Swooosh

  As the silence presses down, only his faint footsteps broke through with the cold breeze caressing him.

  "..."

  As if the very walls have eyes, the ground moves, the seemingly endless silence amplified his senses, as if they were alive, watching, waiting.

  Shhhhhhhhsss

  Feeling a creeping discomfort in his bones, a gnawing sensation that something is off, but you can't quite place what, Hyunwoo steadily move forward as his eyes wonders around, carefully screening everything he passes.

  Haahh Haah hah

  "..."

  With his hazy eyes, his blurry mind, the corridor seems to stretch endlessly in this misty place, and as though the walls are closing in. With the little light lightening the area, shadows flickering in this dim area, Hyunwoo's breathing has gone heavier and heavier in each step he took.

  Haah Hah Haah

  Slip

  Thud Slpat

  [..... So weak, why so weak adventurer? Why?]

  ....

  Tightly covering its lips as it crouch down behind some pile of broken wooden boxes, that not even a whisper of gasp couldn't leave its mouth.

  Hnghhhhrrr

  Covered in a black, tattered coat

  Hghhhrrr

  It silently prayed that the monster roaming around the area it was in, would left

  Hghhkkkkk... Hkkkrrkk!

  (??? POV)

  The creature before me was a grotesque silhouette

  Hkkkrrkk!

  Something that would hunt you to death, that even a glimpse of it won't let you sleep a wink. No legs, no arms, just an oval shaped monster with a thousand heads screaming in agonizing song, walking around with its dozen upon dozen of tentacles. Hollowed eyes, tears of blood, smiling and in agony.

  Hghhhhkrrrkk!

  Always on a hunt, and always

  "Run! Just run!"

  "!?"

  !! Hkkrrrk!!

  And always on high alert for any prey it heard

  'Idiots!'

  "Do-ahhhhhhh!"

  'Should have stayed quiet'
