Idiosyncrasy: The South Gate - Endless Waves Of Night.
| Chapter III : Born To Kill |
As I walk out the shore, there was someone waiting for me, with a rifle wrapped in their hands.
By looking at the suit they are wearing, I can confirm that they're from the company .
To my surprise, it was Jung Ho. Looking like she was on a mission. Well, it wasn't possible.
As a matrix worker, they are the similar rank as Jinxs. They don't have much experience but I'll keep that on.
I walk up to her greeting her with a smile, so does she. She hands me the rifle she was holding,
"How are you doing? Still afraid of me?huh?"
"N- No I was just shocked"
We laughed all the way to the central building.
Central building is now some kind of different layers with different kind of problems to sh!t on the participates.
But just as I know, some participates are already here, which means they might lure the bosses to the entrance.
For god sake, we'll going to be head-bump greeted by the boss. I'm not letting that slide.
Jung Ho linked that the first layer boss is indeed at the entrance as I predicted.
To tell at the first page of the tale,
The central building was abandoned for ages now.
No one knows it either, how can a place this crowded and the only place the events are shown is getting out of hand
Central building is the same as the Lee company building but much more greater.
There are many things lurking in the darkness to the corners of layers are different kind of bosses
I have heard of it, but I cannot really remember it. The first layer is a science lab which has countless mechanical bosses.
After ascending to the second layer, the air is some kind of tight and spending a moment or more will give you mild dizziness and even can lead to throwing up.
It is even worse in the third layer, it's like a wild forest there, moss all over the walls. Vines everywhere.
And some says that a ginormous snake appears but eh, no living beings is in this place except us.
Yeah, no one went past the other layers. Well it is a tall skyscraper but it only has 5 layers.
Eonni Han told me those like a horror bedtime story when I was young. I miss her so much.
After I cut off the transportation system. The boss's strength will be lowed down.
But there is a abandoned sewer under the central building.
We have to go pass under there, but it will be disgusting, so we have to be careful!
I and Jung Ho went to the sewer, and believe me if I say it was flipping smell whole garbage dump.
Jung Ho tip-toe to each side while I accidentally fell into the poopie water and now my whole body smells like I stuck my head in the toilet bowl.
"System, change my outfit!"
[Please, select outfits]
[Splendid! Changing outfits]
I yelled angrily and my mind couldn't get more dumber for throwing my sorry-butt in that SPECIFIC water!!
I chose a tight black suit with straps. Well, now my boobs are literally in place.
Nothing is good for nothing to live in this life.
Jung Ho giggles softly, I'm a little embarrassed tho. Off with my traits.
"Soo-nim! Shh...."
Jung Ho got me shut my mouth out of nowhere. And points to the corner quietly.
I look at the way where she was pointing, and for a moment, I felt like all the air in my body left me.
There was a strange tall figure ruined-like mechanical bot at the other side.
So I kept my mouth shut, if one of us make a sound, our lives will be on a deadline with no end.
"Jung Ho, go into the ability settings and change the set into my rifle"
"Okay? Wait what! An umbrella skill, H-"
"Just do it!"
Jung Ho change the set by putting an album of umbrella skills into my rifle. Jung Ho was shocked what I would possibly do with those skills,
But she knows anything I do will not go into a drain. She sighs relieved and let go of me.
I look at her with a smile on my face, she had that soft expression of trust in her eyes, and I can't let it slide.
"What are you going to do to win when you're already losing?"
Jung Ho was surprised and confused by the topic I pulled suddenly. But the thing I'm trying to tell is that many people only want to walk the path they're good at.
Not the path they're not good at, it doesn't matter at all if you doesn't wish to explore and spread to know what's awaits for you.
For example, imagine someone drowning in a pile of blood from how many people they've killed. A dark venom-ish hands dragging them into the water.
They didn't think about what's coming for them, they only know how to get something done which they're good at.
They're afraid of the stranger-like things in the future, they do not want to go pass that but they cannot. The fate already chose them for us.
That's why, face your fears, do your greatest, wish for the best and hope for the worse.
You don't or cannot know what kind of problems are standing in your way.
But you'll go right pass through it by preparing now in the present. Don't think about the past anymore, you can't drag the past into the future, you need to improve it by doing now.
Instead of pouting to the things that are stranger to you, get the experience of solving it.
"And Jung Ho, learn to fight. Not to stand"
After that, I took the rifle in her hands. Slowly walking towards the boss. I look down to my feet, what was I thinking.
Not a moment later, the boss swifts his hand, ready to attack me. Before I realize it, the boss was more faster than others.
For sudden, I thought I dug my own grave. I inhales and shot my rifle, a loud sound echoed through the sewer.
The bullet walks through its chest. Spilling blue dose. Some of the dose splashed on my face.
Now this is the real fight, I get some speed and drift down under the boss, now! Now!
Bang!
A shot goes through his eyes, the boss squeak with pain. The boss swings his arm, I managed to block it but...
Ah...!
His sharp tentacles cuts deep with a swift. Blood coming out of my arm, the deal lowed down my strength.
My hands were shaking like crazy, I can't feel my fingers. I encouraged myself to grab the rifle.
After a thought of some, I successfully grabbed the rifle and point at the boss.
The boss too faced to me. Gaining it's strength again like mine. Compare to the bots, us human strength is nothing.
But, Time changes, and rules had fade. I'll prove them wrong. I will prove them how a human strength is its own predator.
The boss swings his arm again. Towards me. And I thought that was my end,
Some glass rose petals falls from my rifle.
I look up to see an umbrella.
I grinned and the umbrella was a shield. I thought it already than others.
The boss took back his arms. Stunned, but he didn't give up.
The boss opens his mouth and squeaks violently. But I'm tired of wasting my time here.
Clink...!
I insert the rifle in it's mouth. And that was the ending game. I won.
Ching...!
A melody echoed in the sewer along side with a small squeak.
Blue dose splashed onto me. I released the umbrella in the mouth and opened it.
Blowing up his head into pieces.
I swing the umbrella and rest it on my shoulder.
Looking across the corner, I can see Jung Ho praying non-stop with sweat over her body.
I giggles a bit and walk to her.
Tapping her shoulder, and continuing what we are doing.
"Days like this are fun, don't you think?"
"It's- not funny! Soo-nim almost died!!"
"Haha... Funny"
