'What the hell!?'
After the headless man touched his forehead, Jun felt a frightening sense of vertigo.
He felt like his body was moving at an impossible speed.
His entire vision was completely black, he didn't even know if his blinks were open or closed.
He felt like throwing up, but because of the speed with which he was moving, nothing could leave his body.
Jun went from shock to despair when he realized he couldn't move an inch of his body, and that included breathing.
'What...is...happening!?'
He didn't know how much time had passed, but considering that he could still think properly even without his body being able to breathe, it must have been only a few seconds.
He kept passing the time, but no matter what he tried, there was nothing he could do in the situation he was in.
Just as he was starting to get dizzy due to the lack of oxygen, something happened.
***
In a dreamy place, you could see flowers of all kinds all around, and if you looked up, there was only a beautiful grayish whiteness replacing the blue sky.
Within that flower field, there was only one figure sitting there tending to the flowers. She was wearing a beautiful white one-piece dress with lots of embellishments.
But at a glance you could see that she was not human, for she had porcelain skin. Her joints were like those you would find on a wooden doll, plus, she also had four arms.
But even with all these things, she seemed to be the purest and most beautiful thing this world was capable of offering.
While the strange woman continued to take care of the flowers very delicately, suddenly a frown appeared on her beautiful face and she turned to look at a specific place.
Right where she was looking, a crack formed in the landscape, ruining its beautiful harmony.
Out of that crack flew a strange figure, which was completely out of tune with the beautiful landscape of flowers. After the being was ejected, the crack closed again, as if it had never been there in the first place.
The figure that was ejected from the crack was Jun.
Because of the force with which it was ejected, it was hit hard against the flower floor. But instead of stopping, he kept bouncing and rolling until he stopped a few meters away from the beautiful lady.
'Damn!'
Unfortunately for Jun, he remained conscious during the whole landing process, so now his body hurt like hell. It's not a nice feeling that your body was treated like a ball.
Breathing quickly to enjoy the return of the sweet air, he leaned on his arms to try to get up while enduring the pain caused by the fall. This was the first time he had ever felt pain like this.
As he lifted his head from the ground to look around, he saw that a porcelain woman was staring at him.
She had four arms too!
But hey, who was he to judge?
Jun planned to say something, but before he could, the strange lady had already made her move.
She had one of her arms outstretched as if to try to touch Jun, and her expression showed as if she was looking at the most expensive gem ever cast.
But just before her fingers touched him, she pulled her hand away, looking as if she was afraid of breaking an object of utmost value.
Immediately after, he flashed Jun the purest smile he had ever seen, as if he was trying to tell him that everything was all right.
'What...?'
Before Jun could process what had just happened, the lady raised one of her hands and snapped her fingers.
Just then, Jun's world went completely black, followed again by the feeling of vertigo.
***
In a dark room, only the sound of the wind howling through broken glass windows could be heard. The place was a mess, a pile of broken objects were scattered around. The only visible light came from a window, giving the place a gloomy feeling.
In the middle of the room, a series of intricate and complex drawings could be seen decorating the floor. The more you looked at those drawings, the more complicated and intricate they became.
Right in the middle of those drawings, a crack formed in the air, from which a humanoid figure was ejected, closing moments later.
The humanoid figure was Jun, who had once again gone through the frightening sensation of being dragged through a dark place. The difference this time with the previous time was that this time the elapsed time was remarkably short.
Cof, cof, cof
After being treated and thrown like an object twice in a row, Jun was not feeling particularly well. His whole body ached and he was having trouble breathing due to the lack of oxygen.
Luckily for him, it looked like he hadn't broken any bones, as his body was very resilient.
'Now where am I?'
Getting up in pain after he was thrown to the ground, Jun inspected the place where he was.
He could only see a little because of the darkened room, but thanks to the light coming through the windows, he could see better where he was.
The place appeared to be a living room, only it looked as if a hurricane had blown through the place. A lot of furniture and broken objects were lying all over the room, there were also several books lying around. But undoubtedly the strangest thing was the complex drawings located under his feet.
These drawings looked like lines of different sizes and shapes interconnected with each other, giving an uneasy feeling. The more I looked at them, the stranger they seemed.
The odd thing was that not one object was placed on top of the strange drawings, they were all outside the boundary of the drawing, As if afraid to disturb the intricate design.
Frowning, Jun was questioning what had just happened.
Not only had he been dragged away, he had also ended up in a strange place of flowers, only to be dragged away again and finally end up here.
Knew he was a strange person, not only because of his personality, but also because of his rare ability to see pristine threads.
But this had indeed surpassed his....
'.... Huh?'
He was suddenly struck by a terrible shock.
Something was missing.
Jun felt as if something had been taken away from him.
Something that was very important to him.
He had never felt like this before, it wasn't just a feeling, it was as if his whole being was screaming at him.
He didn't know what it was, but the mere thought of it filled him with extreme despair.
After an intense rush of emotions, his legs couldn't take it anymore, causing him to fall back to the ground.
Breathing heavily on the floor, Jun did not know what to do.
His whole being felt shattered, he could think of nothing but that feeling of lack.
He had been taken away from him.
It was important to him.
It was his...
But he didn't know what it was, no matter how much he thought, he couldn't figure out what it was that was missing.
***
'Calm down, just... calm down.'
A few minutes had passed, as he was lying on the complex drawings on the floor, Jun was finally able to overcome from the initial shock.
Breathing deeply, he managed to come to his senses little by little.
It had been about 20 minutes since the initial shock, all that time had put him through pain worse than being constantly dragged.
He even felt like his heart was about to burst.
'Better not... let's think about it'.
Ignoring the clear problem at hand, Jun closed his eyes and willed himself to take a short break.
He had been through so much in such a short time that he could collapse at any moment.
Too many strong emotions are bad for the heart, especially his own after everything that had just happened.
Crash!
Unfortunately for him, he wouldn't even be able to enjoy a brief moment.
Rising abruptly due to the unexpected noise of something falling and rolling to the side, Jun narrowly dodged a pop-up punch coming from a tentacle.
And the tentacle originated from a red bubbling grotesque mass.
'What the hell is that!'
He'd never seen anything even remotely like that in his entire life... perhaps.
Not that he remembered much of his life anyway.
Dodging another blow coming from the red mass, Jun slowly moved away towards the other end of the room as the strange creature cautiously followed him.
He was running out of room to retreat, he had to do something and fast...
'Now!'
As another blow was thrown towards his face, Jun ducked and, instead of dodging to the side, lunged forward as he grabbed a chair that was lying to the side.
He stepped to the side of the grotesque mass and did what anyone would do in front of a strange creature and with a chair in his hands.
Lifting the chair he used all his strength to punch the creature in the side.
Surprisingly, after the heavy blow, the creature stopped moving and fell to the ground.
"That was... Surprisingly easy."
Tossing the chair aside, Jun proceeded to leave through the door through which the creature had apparently come from. This one led towards some stairs, so he proceeded to quickly descend them.
He was apparently on the third floor of an apartment, so when he reached what appeared to be the entrance of the building, he tightened his pace to get out of the place.
Exiting the building, he covered his face with one hand due to the change in lighting.
So much had happened that he didn't even know how to begin to address it.
'I guess I'll have to find a place to stay first.'
As his eyes finished getting used to the light outside, he saw that the current weather was shrouded in mist, giving the place a gloomy tone.
He also saw a bunch of people surrounding him as they pointed guns at him.
"Hands where I can see them!"
Puzzled by what just happened, Jun could only follow the order and slowly raise his hands as he made a suffering face.
A single thought went through his head.
'Could you guys leave me alone just for a moment!?'
