Chapter 3 - the creature

*bzzzzzzzzz...

Oh God, my head. uhhh.. sys.. system?

[yes?] Where are we?

[we are in the ... backrooms]

Why'd you pause befor saying backrooms? Is that not the name of this place or is it something else.

[...]

Come on! Will you just tell me its name already or give me a hint atleast!?

[... T

this dimension isn't called "the backrooms" it's just the term you humans came up with. The reason I can't tell you the true name of the backrooms is because it is strictly prohibited.]

Prohibited by who? [...]

come on you can't tell me? aren't I like your owner or something? Tell me now!

[...]

haaa fine, have it your way. Anyways, all this yelling got me hungry, system can you find

edible food and drinking water?

[ there is food 30 meters from your location and drinkable almond water 20 meters from the foods location].

hmmn ok, system does my phone work here?

[no]

so can i just ask you when i need to know something?

[yes]

hnmmm ok so.... give me a minute to think.

....

ok so can you work as a gps?

[yes, but also not yes]

What do you mean, honestly is there a setting to make you explain things better?

[there is no such thing]

fine... just tell me what you meant already

[I do have a "gps" type of ability which will undoubtedly help you throughout your life here. It does have a name it is called

well what can it do? with name like that it should be like... better than gps

[It is better and worse than a "gps"]

just tell me what it does already, my ears are killing me just listening.

[ is an ability in which your able to see everywere you yourself have been, unfortunately since its skill level is level 0 it only shows everything thats happening in the place you are observing if you are 1 meter near it. it will become a better ability once the level gets higher.]

[many things may occur, such as immediate death, eaten, scorched alive, soul rip-]

alright stop

[15 feet]

system are there any hiding places that can be used as a hiding place?!

[searching... 10 feet]

[the room on your left has a hole in the wall. dive through it and you may be able to lose the creature]

hah i see it

ben runs through the coridor and runs straight towards said wall

haah!!

ben dives into the hole... not perfectly though. he ends up geting his shirt caught on a few rusty nails and slashing himself, fortunately and unfortunately due to his sprint he wasnt stuck and slid right through. unfortunately he slashed his right side with a half inch cut across it.

Aahhhh!!!!! Faaa!!!! Rrrmmm is it... is it finnaly over?

ben asks as he turns to look at the hole only to see a ... er wonderfull suprise.

A eye staring daggers at him. the eye seemed so angry so intent on catching ben. Only to be cockblocked by the small hole in the wall only a human can fit through.

ben who was just sitting there looking at it, started sweating all over, after just 10 seceonds of looking he was already drenched in sweat.

why... why cant i breathe? ben asked himself. what is this feeling, its as if my minds telling me to run but his body wouldnt listen.

is this "killing intent"?
