I waved the axe at a tentacle which was approaching me as we raced through the empty and quiet hallway, all the way I was still trying to get the angle on the shadow, where were all the zombies, were they hiding somewhere waiting to ambush us, all these questions swirled in my head amidst escaping the onslaught of the eyeless reaper who was hell bent on chasing us or specifically me."I think I'm it's target" I voiced as I dodged another tentacle while blocking several more."What are you talking about?" Rash asked with fatigue as he also played donkey Kong with the tentacles, the girls were in front of us and we were behind so that we could protect them."It seems to be focused on me so the best course of action would be to separate, you guys go left and I'll lure it away and meet u with you guys later" I quickly formulated a plan."No we aren't doing that again" Rash refused outwardly, he remembered how I had almost died at the hands of the spider."But that's the only option now" I

"Come on" I whispered as he crept through the silent hallway while supporting Rash whose leg had started purple veins spreading from his injury, the two girls also crept behind them as they followed a trail made by the axe of the reaper."The trail ends up ahead, whoo this is it" I whispered as he took a deep breath while thinking of the dangerous task ahead, he had planned to confront the reaper using his identity as his creator to try to persuade it to help them, at first the idea was discarded as a suicide mission by the others but after being persuaded by I, they unwillingly accepted it."I still think this is a bad idea" Rash frowned as he said to me who sighed as he glanced at his leg."We don't have a choice and besides it's the only one who can heal your leg, if not then we'll have to cut off your leg and I'm sure you wouldn't like that so we'll just have to stake everything on the fact that we have a common enemy, I mean the enemy of my enemy is my friend" I said as he tried

"Shh it's clear follow me" I said as he peeped at the corner to see if there was any enemy in sight when he saw that it was clear he beckoned the others over."The control room is just up ahead, be ready for anything, we don't know how powerful the shadow is or what kind of traps he has laid in stock for us" I warned as he crept forward and then paused as the image of spider's face flashed in his mind."Hey what's wrong" Christina who was behind him asked."It's nothing, that's strange, why would that image just appear in my mind but it's probably nothing" I shrugged as he kept moving, he placed his hands on the doorknob and twisted it slightly as the door opened, he glanced up ahead as he saw the sign above a door sign read 'Control Room'."We're finally here" I said with a grin as they walked towards the door."After all this trouble, we're finally here" Rash smiled as he sighed at all that they had gone through."Yeah, it almost se…"CLICKA clicking sound rang out as they quickly

"Long Wang?....who are you?" I asked in confusion."Hahaha, for now, I can't answer that question but with time you'll get to know, the only reason why I could get to speak to you now is that the gamemaster isn't as strong as he used to be but he's getting there, we don't have much time so I'll try to make this brief as possible" The golden-haired man replied with a smile."What…I don't understand, what is going on? Where am I? who are you?" I piled all the questions waiting on my tongue."I'm sorry but if I were to answer all your questions, I would end up being sensed by him and it would only bring more trouble to you, for now, you will get your old profession back but you will only have 0.1% of your original power now but as time progresses, you'll get to understand more about yourself and remember never underestimate anyone or anything or it might be your last, I'm sorry that we met under such circumstances but it will all be all right soon, I'm gathering allies and I can see that

"Woah okay slow down a little and let me understand what you just said, you mean that we've gone back to the time of one of if not the most notorious serial killers in existence" Rash said in disbelief as his mind absorbed the information he was receiving."Yeah in summary yes" I replied calmly."How are you so calm, do you understand our situation now? We are going up against someone whose identity is unknown up till date, someone who kills then sends a letter to the press saying that he just killed someone, I mean who does that, it's so fucked up when you think about it" Rash said with a look of confusion, his mind was jumbled at the moment that he couldn't think straight."Well, one of the first things they teach you in the army is that in every situation, you must remain calm and analyze your situation before jumping to conclusions" I replied."Wait you were in the army?" Rash asked in surprise."Yeah I was, how do you not know this by now?" I asked in disbelief."What do you mean
