<×> KORVAC <×>
Chapter 48 : Going To The Next One Part 2.
During the following Days, what Viukane commented begins to happen, once, then twice, and after that the frequency of those succumbing to the Ambivalent Energy.
Having the misfortune of watching a child trying to kill his own mother, then both falling accidentally from the railing, ending their lives prematurely.
This pitfall threat is so constant as the sudden attack of those that turn into metallic dust when you kill them.
The constant pressure of the situation and the uncertainty of who of those next to you is going to change or since when they did it is freaking terrifying.
The 160 hours of our stay ended without any major events, although my relationship with Thyfall became closer.
That is not the only thing objectively relevant, Viukane became my friend, it is strange to say this at my age, but it feels good knowing that others trust you even with their own lives.
{But this comes to an end, a bitter one, i hate the feeling of knowing what Bverxkka could do, but decided otherwise, It would have been considered "Mercy"?, sparing to every Local the horrors of their ongoing future by gifting a fast and relatively painless death to everyone else}
The returning to the Monolith's underfloor is fast, being welcomed by the usual Interface.

{*Sigh*, This is so frustrating, the last integrant of our team kept getting further away from us, when she was closer than Thyfall at our arrival on the planet}
In the next moment, i emerge from the malleable honey floor, carrying Bverxkka's Egg Form on the sack bag almost as an automatic reflex.
—Why so lost in your thoughts Korvac?.
The clear and somehow wise voice of Shlõvthy catch my attention.
—I just felt useless in that place, saving someone to be converted later on… , is almost meaningless our actions.
—That is how it is most of the time, the difference on this occasion is that you finally realize this fact…
{Wow!, Something happened to him too?, he looks more centered than what i have saw of his behavior until now}
Going out of the Monolith, the first thing i observe is the absence of the Third Monolith, not only that, a lot of people is panicking, and the reason is visible.
An Obelisk, but differently to the other Structures i saw before, this one is made of a wine pristine metal, a tone quite attractive as the rest of the Environment is of hazelnut sand, being a contrast pretty obvious.
—What is going on?.
I ask promptly to a Wall Ward that looks pretty preoccupied.
—Is an "Aberration Obelisk", thay are rare, and creepy, No one can leave this location until we get rid of this Structure, and differently to others, you don't have a time limit to be inside, or the condition to enter again until the next day, but the moment you are spilled out of this Obelisk, you can't enter to any Structure for some time, that is why everyone is excited and exalted…
{So we can leave until this Structure falls, How long can take that?}
»—But the most Newcomers are panicking, thinking they are going to die from Starvation, but that is the catch, it is possible to enter, but unachievable to leave, If you pretend to Participate, need Eight in your Team or do it alone.
After a few more words, the Wall Guard continues with his labor, while Shlõvthy scream enthusiastically.
—What are we waiting for?!, "My Date" is in a few hours and i haven't clean Myself for her to suck me off!.
{And there it is the usual demeanor of Shlõvthy… , Shit!, i almost rise my opinion of him, How could you be so naive!, Do not let him deceive you Korvac!}
A quick count between our numbers reveal that we are seven, not wasting time, we invite Dallas, who accept to join us, so we go directly to the Structure, waiting for a bit to enter.
The interior of the place is not different from the other Structures, malleable honey floor, Walls and the ceiling, all made in the same tone except for the rectangular segments divided into squares over the floor, and in the middle of the room, the spaces look separated, surely they are for those who want to go alone.
—I hope this time we are really together as a Team…
Commented sarcasticly Häränn as she steps on her spot, all of us do the same and are sucked inside the malleable honey floor to see the Interface.

§ Definitely Not the Villains §
{What the heck!, Why this Quests are so despicable, and for what reason should i kill a Participant, they are on my side!… , Unless they don't…}
The realization hits me hard enough to lose consciousness for an instant, enough time to make the transition, waking up on a different location.
§{ Stage Clear when 0 reaches 84 }§
Incorporating my body and omitting the notification, i get up from the primitive bed on which i was lying.
Straws under a thick cotton blanket, the floor as the small room in which i currently am, is constructed with wooden planks and the door of the same material has a simple wooden lock to provide some privacy.
My attire is made of Shearling wool pants and shirt, along with brown leather shoes that has a pointy end.
{They look ridiculous, but i am not going to be walking around barefoot, i am not that picky}
Opening the door i see a corridor, it is not too large but undoubtedly is long, as i observe other seven doors, four on each side of the corridor and a wall to my left, being in the opposite side of it a wood staircase.
Advancing in this direction, each step makes cracking noises, i don't know if this is because of my mass, or the construction is simply too old and hadn't received a proper maintenance in ages.
Checking the other doors i see that two of them are open, there is no one inside, it is completely free of furniture aside the bed of straw and the thick cotton blanket, both in the same condition as mine.
resuming my way to the stairs, and descending through them i see Häränn, the gorgeous Tomboy has Olive skin like me, accompanied with short obsidian hair and green peridot irises.
She speaks with another woman, sitting on a table one in front of the other, both giving the impression of knowing each other from quite some time.
This woman has violet middle length wavy hair and silver glowing irises, a body fit but slim not robust like Häränn, and not too voluptuous on the breast department, but her assets are the real deal, i almost walked up to spank her, that is how enticing her buttocks are, even with this baggy clothes not highlighting them.
—Korvac!, Don't be a stranger join us!, The front door can't be opened yet.
Häränn hints that she wants something more by patting the table, i sit at her right and she present me to her friend.
»—She is Narae, we met in the previous Monolith…
{I can't see any Interface!, Why it sounds familiar?, And where is Häränn hand going?!}
She puts her right over my left thigh and slowly moves to my member, rubbing me slowly over my pants of wool.
{Is she that thirsty?, Not like i mind though}
—A pleasure to meet you Korvac.
—Like wise Narae… , There is any chance that…
Häränn squeeze my manhood with obvious jealousy but talks with soft and filtrations voice.
—"That", What Korvac?.
{She is insane!, but i like that, at least on her}
—That if she knows "Viukane" or "Briannell"…
