Host And The Soul System 17. Welcome To Paradise
“Where are we?“ I ask, looking around. The room is unusual. It reminded me of my hospital room when I was alive. It didn't smell like mahogany wood like the houses on the 52nd chamber, and when i go to touch the alabaster walls, it's smooth and firm like it's made of cement. “The 52nd Chamber” She tells me while pouring the water into the sink. I open the windows, and the cool air pours into my lungs. My jaw drops at the sight of the modern city. There's skyrises on every street. It's almost like the city outside my window in the hospital. The city I longed for but never had the privilege of exploring. “Woah! It's a whole new world here” I sigh, staring out into the city as everything happened beneath me. There's a beach not far from here. The beauty of the city washes my worries away. “Have you ever been here?“ “No i haven't. I talked to the receptionist and she said it's a big city. We are going to be here for a while if we want to find Ayra. I have a feeling she's
Host And The Soul System 18. Trouble in paradise
I don't know how long I've been here but i never want to leave. The girl who dragged me into the party gave me a drink and cheered me on while I rode on one of the bikes in the arcade. The whole place was doused in energy and the smell of sweat as everyone danced away their problems. It was a euphoric feeling where nothing else mattered. I didn't care for my name or her name or anyone else for that matter. It was a good day to party indeed. With a big smile on plastered on my face, i navigate the arcade and the party. Someone throws an arm over my shoulder and i turn to the man. “You need to leave” he says. “Leave? Why would i want to leave paradise?“ The words leave a sour taste in my mouth but I still don't want to leave. If I'm being honest, i don't even remember which way is the exit. “Everything is so bright and beautiful here” He grabs my arm and starts pulling me away from the crowd. “Hey! Where are you going?!“ I hear the girl scream. The music freezes and e
Host And The Soul System 19. The Den Of Bones And Critters
“AAHHHHHHHH!!!“We're falling. The wind seems to push us deeper into the ground. No matter how much I try to regain control, I'm tossed in every possible direction until i hit the ground. It's not the ground i hit because my fall is lightened by a net. “Is everyone alright?“ Ravena asked. “Whe—where am I?“ Kara asks. Her words are drowsy, her eyes droopy, and her head is swaying lightly as she starts to shift back into reality. The after effects of Theo and Val's powerful spell in the 52nd chamber. “You…What are you doing here?“ She asks Axel, who is still holding on to her. I try to stand up, but my feet and hands are stuck to the net. “What the hell is this?“ I can't see, but I know this is no ordinary net. [New location unlocked: 53rd Chamber] [Level 9 threat detected: Head Host/Monster]What does that even mean? “This chamber is crawling with monsters. They are all working for the head host. I can't see any sign of souls” Spix says. The light that comes
Host And The Soul System 20. This is a waste of time
[Warning: Host Detected]The dust settles, and i see the malicious glow in her red eyes. She shoots a web string at me, but her aim is off. I dodge it, and it hits the other side of the cave. I turn towards her, and there's a grin of mischief on her face. “KNOX!“ Someone yells. I turn around to see a boulder hurtling towards me. I'm pushed out of the way by Axel in lightning speed and splits the rock in two with his sword. The sharp pain strikes harder, and I fall to the ground. The world blurs. I try to sit up right, but the splitting pain has me falling on my face. I don't know when she arrives, but when i open my eyes, Ravena is at my side trying to figure out what's wrong with me while Kara is fighting by Axel's side. I try to move my arm, but I'm out of energy. “What happened to you? I'm trying to heal you, but it's not working” She says to me. “The systems are conflicting inside of me” i groan out as another sharp pain courses through my veins. I hear somet
Host And The Soul System 21. Consume My Memories
“WAIT!“ I yell. Arachna drops Kara's body startled my outburst. She spins around slowly. Locking eyes with me, she sighs in disappointment. “What?!“ She demands. “Cook me first.“ I blurt out. She raises a brow and tikts her head to the side in confusion. “Eat me first. You can't see it right now, but I'm actually very delicious” “What are you doing?“ Spix says. Arachna looks around like she's considering it, then shakes her head to expel the thought. “I'm not supposed to harm the 100th host. The others will be here to take you to the 100th chamber.“ “Hmm that's a shame. I'm actually really delicious, plus i have a lot of energy you can absorb. Also, i hear if you eat me… The game automatically ends, and everyone is free to leave. Haven't you ever wondered what host energy feels like? I bet it's nothing like these normies… if you put me in that broth… mmm“ I say sarcastically with a fake frown on my face, but she seems to buy it. “Why would you want me to eat you? Yo
Host And The Soul System 22. Soul Sucker
“Knox? Did you… Did you see that?“ Kara points to a random spot on the wall, but there's nothing there. She sways on her feet, and i go to catch her before she hits the ground. Her energy slips into me the moment i make contact with her skin. I drop her and move away from her before i absorb any more of her energy. Axel groans as he gets up on his feet. He goes straight to Kara while I stand at the far side of the room. “What happened? What did you do to her?“ He asks, looking from Kara to the petrified body of Arachna, then back to me. “I… I don't know. What… What's wrong with her? “ I say, holding my right arm to myself so i don't touch anything else. “Arachna fed them spider venom. It's starting to take effect. She's burning up, and her energy levels are abnormally low. Check on Ravena. We have to treat them, or they'll die” He says. I turn to see Ravena right beside. Looking at her, I can already see the energy radiating off her like it's calling out to me. I ca
Host And The Soul System 23. The Forest Of Emotions
“How did you get here?“ I ask. Reid steps on the broken stump so he towers over me. He takes a deep breath as he looks around. There's nothing to see other than the trees and i doubt this place smelled like anything other than wet trees and pollen. “I'm not actually here. I've been in your head once. It's not hard to do it again” Shit! I let my mental guard down. How powerful must he be to be able reach me all the way on another chamber? I step back from him and run my hand through my hair. Just when i thought i could escape from them, he can get into my head. “What do you want?“ I ask him blankly. If he's here to convince me to change my plans then he might as well be talking to himself. “I'm actually here to tell you that you're doing the right thing” He huffs and sits down on the tree stump, propping up an arm on a raised knee. His blue eyes study me with keen interest, spotting a million silent faults and for a split second i see pity in them. I lower my head bu
Host And The Soul System 24. There must be something in the air
I knew Dante won't be out for long but I didn't know how long Ravena and Axel could hold out for before Cane and Alia came looking for me. I had no idea why they were after me or what they wanted once they got to me. Ravena mentioned something about orders. Who could have ordered them not to harm me? There was plenty of time to get answers to that question but for now I need to find the host of this chamber. I was closing in on the red dot. I jump from a fallen tree and I land mere inches away from a giant hole in the ground. "Woah" I exclaim and my voice echoes inside of the dark hole. I would have fallen to my second death if I hadn't stepped back in time. A wave of energy emerges out of the pit and my body shivers at the feeling it exudes. The hair on my skin rises and my whole body is on full alert. "Someone's excited" A woman giggles from the pit. I see her rising up into the air, her hair is pink, she wears an exposed one piece suit that leaves nothing to the i
