In the depths of the Abyss, a lone figure, Kris, floated within the vast expanse. Infront of him was a gigantic entity. Its eyes were galaxies and it's limbs made out of space. This was the God of the Abyss. A God, a colossal entity comprising a billion stars, gazed upon the Kris with a terrifying unblinking stare.
"You dare to enter my domain, mortal?" the God's voice boomed, shaking the fabric of space-time. "And you have also hacked down my children like pest. I am impressed, but also disgusted."
Kris's entire being was fazed, but suddenly his body once again became lifeless once again.
Now unfazed, he inquired inwardly. "(So this is the final boss.)"
It wasn't because of the creature's display of strength but the fact that at the middle of its large head was a cube. Kris's eyes were keen enough to see this.
The God chuckled, a sound that created supernovas. "Your resistance to my very presence is surprising. But here, I am the sole arbiter of power."
With a mere glance, the God incinerated Kris.
[You have died]
[Title:
Cheater of Death - Hidden Sacred]
[+10,000 All Stats]
[Error!]
[Stats can't be increased in this current scenario!]
[You are alive!]
Kris then respawned. "Heck, my stats can't increase?"
The God then flicked a star at Kris. As soon as the God flicked his finger, he began to move.
[Active Skill:
Acceleration - Rare/Lvl 1]
[Error!]
[Skills that increase stats can't be used in this scenario!]
"Wha-?" He was obliterated before he could even finish a word. The celestial body was too large for him to out run even with his base speed.
Again, he returned.
This cycle continued, the God humiliating Kris with effortless defeats. A glance, a flick, a whisper, each killing Kris in a new, creative way.
Kris's revivals became last faster, as if he was preparing. But the God's power remained boundless, its torment endless.
"Why do you persist, mortal?" the God asked, intrigued.
"..." Kris replied with silence at first. "Fuck off. "
Kris then held his neck and then began to snap it.
The God laughed, creating a black hole. "Your spirit is admirable. But here, I am eternal. You are but a fleeting moment." He tossed the black hole at Kris before he could finish committing suicide.
Yet he refused to yield. He respawned on top of the God's forehead were the dark cube was. It was emitting a sinister energy that brought a chill into Kris's heart and that was his mistake.
The God of the Abyss then flicked Kris off it's forehead as though he was a pest.
[You have died!]
In the void of his own death, Kris began to think.
"I let my chance slip like an idiot, but I can still do it again," Kris said with scratching his chin. "But should I destroy the orb or take it?"
Kris sought a way to defeat the God of the Abyss. He believed that both ways would kill the godly entity but one would be easier and other would be difficult.
[You are alive!]
Kris respawned, once again on top of its forehead. Instead of going for the easier way of dealing with things, he decided to make his greed take over him.
"This is bonus," he thought as stabbed the space around the cube.
But incredibly, his dagger, Eden, didn't touch anything.
"God damnit."
[You have died!]
Kris didn't have time to even comprehend how he even being killed. Seizing upon this discovery, Kris revived himself once again.
[You are alive!]
Once again, on top of the God's forehead, he grabbed the cube. He pulled it but it was stuck.
Kris cursed, "Fuck."
[You have died!]
[Title:

[Select your location]
Kris eyes the last message.
"Inside that things head," he said.
Kris was teleported out of the void and into the abyss. But the abyss he was in was empty. No one else was there except him.
"Guess he doesn't have organs," Kris commented.
Drifting around the abyss, he saw it. The cube. It was floating silently in the abyss while releasing an unearthly surge of power.
Kris directed himself to the foreign object. When he reached the cube, he grabbed it with his two hands. Suddenly, a surge of agony flooded his body but targeted mostly his head.
Yet, all Kris had was a frown on his face. He began extract the cube, and a line of static started to clutch the cube and drag it away from Kris's grasp. But it was not hassle as Kris pulled it from the grasp of the invisible force.
Outside, the God stumbled, its eternal confidence shaken. This God was begin banished from its own realm. The Abyss trembled, its fabric unraveling as the God's influence waned.
As the Abyss dissipated, Kris read the horde of messages that popped up.

Kris was now in the real world. He was right where he left to go into the portal, the road side. But the gore was cleaned up.
"Must be some other things," Kris said to himself.
He ventured into the hotel once again. He was correct - someone and more were there or are still there. The bodies and stain of blood was all wiped out of the place. Even the smell and presence as if a massacre hadn't just happened.
Kris checked the rest of the floors one by one and all the rooms, yet, he found no one.
Kris pondered to himself. "It looks like those things are gone. But I have a feeling that they are near."
He didn't bother to walk down all the floors as he just jumped through a nearby window in the hotel. He landed perfectly and his body was still intact, due to his increased Strength and also Dexterity that stopped his force from destroying the ground.
Kris also discovered something else. The rubble in the community had been cleared out - most of it. This further confirmed Kris's conspiracy.
"Yo, why are you lingering around here?" a voice inquired.
Kris quickly turned to the source of the voice. He saw nothing but the H in hotel on the building. What was even weirder was that Kris didn't even since this person's presence.
"That won't help with your current situation," said the voice once again.
Kris was suddenly hit by something which connected with his chin. His head fastly went upwards and he could even fill his brain vibration in his skull and his leaping forward.
Something then grabbed him but his neck and slammed his head into the ground, which made webs of cracks.
A figure stood upwards and said, "And you stink of blood. I bet you are the fiend that killed all those innocent people."
The figure that towered over Kris made him feel inferior. He quickly got up, but he was staggering on his feet and his mind was dizzy.
But before Kris could take in a breathe, he found himself floating into the air. He then fell on the back of his head but that that wasn't what hurt. It was the pain he felt in his heart, brain, veins and other vitals. It was like this mysterious figure all weak spots that existed on his person in less than a second with some pain coming from inside his body.
This time however, Kris didn't have the strength in his bones to stand, literally. Not even his mouth could open to ask the question he wanted.
But it seemed he didn't need to. "Don't bother even yapping. I'm just on community service in a community that can't be called that. I don't think you need to know what I did."
"He got into a fist fight with one of his teachers, which made the General Staff Members give him community serves at random part of the country," said a feminine voice.
It was a beautiful girl with blond hair and emerald-like eyes. She wore what was similar to school uniform, which was grey and had white lines.
The other one was a boy with a black hot on his head that covered his eyes and a black mask. He also wore the same uniform type of uniform as girl except he had pants that was black.
"Really?" The masked guy asked.
"What? I only told him his dying wish that you refused to answer," the girl said, physically irritated. "If you hadn't said our names we won't be here."
Suddenly, Kris body was floating once again. But this time his wounds didn't inflict as much pain.
"No ond is going die here," said a males voice. "Well with my authority."
It was also a guy with that same uniform. He had a light blue hair and cyan eyes. The only accessories he had was a single earring on his ear.
"You were right, Zack. All the dead spirits agree that this is the killer." The new guy peered into Kris's eyes with a sense of pity and confusion. "What am I going do with you poor thing?"
