Corey kept one eye on the man he was speaking too and another on the shadowy figure that thought its presence wasn't noticed. The old man was getting frustrated with the questions, and Corey knew that. The man hadn't given him anything important. His memories was more damaged than the lock keeper that had taken his place. Which is what Corey couldn't understand. The idea of the Lock keepers and what they protected. Who was appointing them? There were too many theories appearing in his head. None of them were pleasant to Corey. The one that settled with him was the scenario of Erogo being one of the locked people the lock keepers were supposed to protect. But NewAge might have gotten that information if it was the case. NewAge: ACTUALLY NO. EVERYTHING I KNOW, IS STRONGLY BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT EXIST. WE ONLY KNOW THINGS ABOUT EROGO BECAUSE YOU READ THE BACK OF SMALL BOOK THAT TALKED ABOUT THE ANTAGONIST OF THE GAME. I'VE NEVER BEEN ORDERED BY YOU TO RESEARCH HIM. AND EVEN IF
Sitting under the hot spray coming off the shower, Corey had his eyes watching the news on earth. More issues were displayed. The number of dead children was vastly increasing. It shook his small town, and the entirety of the US. All the parents could shout was for kids to stop thinking of this as a joke. They'd do everything to make sure the games were not in their childrens rooms, and yet somehow their kid would still end up dead. And they would later discover the video game. Many speculated that some of the children had not really played the game. And someone was using the chaos to commit vile crimes. Corey believed all of the stories. Because they all made sense. All except the reason behind the game's killing. Erogo must have taken more a thousand people, why was he still collecting more?Was he that desperate to create an android like human? Why would he even want to do that?Visibly puzzled by the stroy he was watching on the news, Corey hadn't noticed a pale figure stepping
"You think I'm cheating?" Corey said in a low, raspy voice that made Erogo think the teen was pissed. But aside for his glare, corey looked nonchalant. "How else can you see me? My form is hidden right now, but you can see me. You can pause time. You can shoot beams, kill giants, you're obviously cheating. And I want to know how? How the fuck, is a single human such as yourself capable of brawling with Iriel? How?" Corey's head tilts to the side, a realization dawns on him for the first time. In Edwards journal, he'd mentioned that a being like the lock keeper had been the one to drag him there. Destiny claimed that he made a deal with the gods and the lock keeper. He told them that fake prophecy. His last name is Feldman, and yet this man before him could not put the two pieces together. That meant the lock keeper those two were referring too, Corey had yet to meet him. And he had a strong feeling that Erogo hadn't met him yet either. Nodding, Corey was getting a clearer picture
After a vigorous night of thinking up ideas, Corey finally figured out how he could save his favorite game from being removed from everywhere else. He'd started with thinking about the deleting the lock keeper's game, but that dastardly restrictions stood in his way. Then Corey's next idea didn't work either. He finally came up with something that worked. Corey thought about erasing the connecting between the CoT creators and the lock keeper. By making people forget that they were the parent company for the murderous game. To Corey's surprise, it worked. Which made him marvel at his ability. Wiping the minds of every human with just a thought. It was a little bit scary. Why was given such an ability?He could seriously return to earth and fuck things up for everyone. And they would worship him at the end of the day.He could make them do it. And yet he had simple limitations. Corey wanted to get those shackles off his body. He was day dreaming about the things he could do to people
The shadow casted a dark glow over Corey's body. He looked up, noticing the large man lifting a weapon towards Corey. Wanting to mess with the man, Corey didn't move. Allowing the man's weapon to connect with his neck, only it shattered and Corey's ears caught a gasp of shock. He rose before the man could call for help. Hands stretched out to grab the man by the throat. Smacking his skull against the door, and completely killing him on the impact. A loud alarm rang through the halls and Corey groaned. He raised his foot, forgoing his whole plan of taking this the normal way. Corey broke the door off its hinges and ran towards the woman chained in the room.She still looked calm, not bothered by anything that had happened to her. Corey was impressed, he shoved a hand out to grasp her. "I was sent to retrieve you." She grabbed the hand, and Corey freed him.She still made no conscious move to ask him any questions. As you she trusted that he was telling the truth or she just didn't c
Corey had long forgotten what his thoughts of the previous day had been. Instead, he was trying his best to catch a good night sleep. But he had received three more notes very directly telling him to start following the clues again. It seems his decision to just not listen to the person that was sending him on the wild goose chase, had been upsetting said person. Corey didn't really care, but he couldn't sleep that night. He kept hearing a faint tapping noise that NewAge said was only in his head. Annoyed, and frustrated, Corey kept his eyes closed and tried to force his body to sleep. Eventually the tapping got too loud and fast that Corey pried his eyes open to see what he could do to distract himself. He let a gasp out, discovering that he wasn't in his room anymore. But in some kind of bunker. Corey rolled out, and dropped to his feet. The tapping noise was coming from a leakage in the roof. Which was weird. Well, not as weird as being in a strange room. A voice came out throu
The issue with getting to destiny was that Corey had to make sure his great grand … uncle or father, he wasn't sure. The man was really really old, and Corey had removed most of the information about him. He didn't want to go to the brothel, or his home, so he opted for something else. From what NewAge told Corey, Destiny spent a good chunk of his afternoon feeding the birds by a gloomy, eerie lake. Laverna was with him this time so they were both confronting the man who got them in this situation together. The women agreed they'd stay on the ship unless Corey said something otherwise. They arrived at the small county farm where Destiny lived. Laverna wanted to explore his home, but Corey reminded her that destiny has been hiding for years. He likely has traps that will immediately alert him if anyone stepped on to his front porch. Sure, Corey could have disabled whatever Destiny had set, but he somehow felt like that was the wrong way to go about things. Corey and Laverna made a s
They'd stayed for another hour, just going through Destiny's house while he tried to pretend that they weren't there. Corey was in a bit of a bind as his confusion over the situation stermed strongly. He had to take a moment to ask himself, what the fuck was he going to do with what destiny had told him? He knew not to trust Liu Zing from the get go. The man was too calm, he knew too much, and he was way to involved in the sacrifice. Especially when Iriel had mentioned that only Liu can perform the sacrifice. Did none of the other celestials find it weird? Why had they just automatically accepted that it was perfectly okay for someone to be this in charge of everything. And now that his theory on the blind man was confirmed, Corey also deduced that the sacrificing of the Feldmans was also Liu's idea. From what destiny had described. Laverna couldn't remember what exactly happened during her death, but she knew it wasn't nice. So as they paced around their relative's home, they thou
