Chereads / Death Beyond Death / Chapter 3 - Game 1

Chapter 3 - Game 1

(Disembodied Voice) "time to begin the test state your ghost powers"

(chase) "I can walk through walls, disappear, and fly definitely much more unique then the other guys"

(Disembodied Voice) "Powers noted evaluating.. power level trash not even fit for game 1"

(Chase) "hurtful" he said with wounded pride

(Disembodied Voice) "Would you like a scan to check for hidden powers"

(chase) "yeah sure you know you're a lot more chill when you're not laughing maniacally"

(Disembodied Voice) yeah sure

Chase felt a little prick on the back of his neck which quickly turned into a burning pain, a crushing weight and then an absence of heat. He lies on the ground convulsing as his muscles spasm at an irregular rhythm for a few minutes before he gradually returns to normal

(Disembodied Voice) scan complete

(chase) F*ck you

(Disembodied Voice) hidden powers include enhanced speed, ghost blast, ???, and ???...

de encoding abilities it will only take a few hours

(chase) hours

(Disembodied Voice) process can be sped up with more scans would you like to proceed?

(chase) "No no hours is fine" he says as he stands up to explore his surroundings.

He looks around for a few hours to see he's in a big empty black box

(Chase) "well that was a waste of time lets explore that other ability i was said to have which was "ghost blast". I wonder ghost...energy...ki... nah it can't be...(5 seconds later) ka me ha me copyright infringement" he says while doing the iconic two hand motion and firing a beam from his hands. "nice" he says while continuing to practice and preparing for the question mark results response

(Disembodied voice) The results are ready would you like to see

(chase) why else would i have been waiting her quietly

(Disembodied Voice) the results are learn and growth

(Chase) end the story now. what else do i have to live for at this point i can basically see the future.

(Disembodied Voice) Ability assessment has now been completed begin game 1

(chase) hey wait we can talk about this!

and so it happened again the indescribable pain. If he still had skin it would be being torn off layer by layer as his teeth were being pulled out.his teeth were being pulled out along with his nails and finally his genome was deconstructed before he reappeared cell by cell in a new landscape.

Chase woke up on a dirt lily pad in a sea of lava

(chase) "I've seen enough games to know where this is going"

(Disembodied Voice) "Now lets begin game 1 as evaluated from your base abilities game one will be "The Chase"you can thank me for the proper naming later"

(Chase) "Oh fuck you"

(Disembodied Voice)"Goal escape for 3 hours game begins now"

(chase) "wait a min-"

A new kind of monster forms slowly cell by cell 5 pads behind chase. It seems to be some kind of giant dog being 8 feet tall on all fours. its fur is short and onyx black in color but all its veins are visible and seem to be flowing with magma.

(chase) "well... hell hounds are real that's nice to know... i should probably be running huh"

After a brief moment of idiocy and stupification chase takes off like a bat out of hell using every moment of time he had while the hell hound was forming to get a head start and he held this lead for the entire rest of 5 minutes before the 5 lily pad lead dropped from 5 to 1 and he could feel the hot breath of the hell hound along with its abnormally high body heat

(chase) "well it was fun while it lasted but i don't want to find out what happens when it catches me so time for the nitro"

Chase put his arms behind his back and used his ghost blasts as a booster looking similar to a recently dead anime character that we all know and love. Rest in peace lord explosion murder.

This allows him to keep a constant distance of 2 lily pads from the hell hound for near half the time period before he realized his dumbassedness. It was at this moment that he jumped directly into the lava. On his ability list he had forgotten that disappear was listed though if you really tried to understand it it would be closer to intangibility and invisibility none the less it suffices to say that hell hounds are unimpeded by lava but what are they gonna do if they can't touch him much less sense him through the thick burning liquid which is categorized as one of the worst ways to die.

(Disembodied Voice) "Man you're no fun next time don't try anything sketchy cause the next rounds won't be as easy."

(Chase) "Can you please just send me out of hear"

(Disembodied Voice) "Alright syncing to ghost dimension please wait a few seconds"

(chase) "to the where now"

(Disembodied Voice) "goodbye"

(Chase) "why is everyone in my life an asshole." he says as he slowly disappears cell by cell like an ash pile slowly being blown away by the wind
