The last thing I remember was me watching the last episode of the series, 'Grimm'. It was around some time I can't remember. I was laying on my bed, watching the intense final episode and when it finally came to an end, I got an invite link:
Would you like the enter the world of magic and wesen?
Yes/No
....
Did I think too much into it? Obviously not. After the thrill of binge watching season six, I couldn't help but try out this link.
It could be a game for all I know or a spam.
I clicked [Yes] and a knew browser opened up.
It was a fully black browser. For a second I thought my screen was off coz I could see my own reflection from the screen. But then the writings showed up:
Build your character!!
Name:
(name of your character. Real name is not allowed)
Gift (0/1):
(an ability or gift you'd like to give your character)
Physique (0/1):
(a unique characteristic physique for your character)
Art/technique (0/3):
(a skill set for your character to inherently learn)
........
That was all. Nothing else. No description about the game, nothing. For a second I thought it was some spam. But I decided to humor it, since I had nothing to lose, and started filling up with random stuff.
Name:
Uchiha Obito
The name was after my favorite favorite anime character. Didn't think too much into it. Now for the 'gift' think
Gift (1/1):
Mangekyou Sharingan
I left it at that since I wasn't sure the game would even incorporate a character with the skillset from Naruto. I am sure the system would call this invalid input, or so thought. But nothing so far.
Physique (1/1):
Hashirama cell infused
Didn't take too much thought to fill this up since for a mangekyou Sharingan, this was important. What if my character loses HP for every Sharingan use. And the physical prowess of hashirama cell is also amazing. The go to solution for every issue in Naruto series.
I am curious as to how this game would incorporate the input I'm providing.
Next, Art/technique. Unlike the other two, here I can give three inputs. It took me a bit to think about it.
Art/technique (3/3):
-basic ninjutsu
-sensory arts
-basic taijutsu
With this, my I filled the blocks up.
Soon after, a 'SUBMIT' option appeared below the inputs. The design resembled a fingerprint and the word 'Submit' was written right in the middle of it.
As clicked it, and the tail chasing like symbol of loading appeared at the centre of my screen. It was then, I noticed something on the top right corner of the screen. No, I did notice it at the start, but ignored it. Only now did I bother to read it.
SP: 0
Terms and conditions
What is this SP stuff? Did it have any number earlier? Or will it fill up as I play the game?
I had no idea. The screen was showing a leading sign. So I didn't bother checking it out.
"What mangekyou abilities would I get? Kamui? Tsukuyomi? Katoamatsukami?"
As I fell into this thought, something caught my eyes.
SP: -90
It went to negative? How? I didn't do anything...
But by then, the new screen loaded. It read:
-Contract has been established.
-Contracter used more than alotted SP (skill point)
-applying penalty: partial memory erasure
-Good luck!!
It didn't give me enough time to comprehend what I was reading. The next instant, my screen turned white.
Soon my vision turned white.
Then black, because I blacked out.
.....
By the time I regained my consciousness, I was no longer in my comfortable bed. I couldn't even make out what my bed looked like.
I was on the plain dirty ground. It took me a second to collect my thoughts. But before I could even think straight, I felt pain, everywhere.
My body felt like it was being torn apart and sewed back up, boned felt like it was crumbling down. I could feel every cell in my body was breaking down. The pain was excruciating.
I screamed. I trembled on the dusty ground and I screamed at the top of my lungs
But, before I could get used to this, my eyes felt like it was poked with hundred needles at the same time. I could feel the blood dripping from it. The pain in my eyes were comparable that felt throughout my body
But did I have time to think about it?
No.
Because a headache ache gripped me. It felt like my head was about to explode.
Three different pain, all excruciating than the other.
"MAKE IT STOP!" I screamed to no one in particular.
"am I gonna die?" the thought filled my head.
I don't wanna die.
I am gonna die.
It hurts.
Make it stop.
Kill me.
I wanna die.
I don't wanna die
The thoughts were filling my mind. I wanted to die to escape the pain, but I was too scared to face death.
I didn't wanna die, but I didn't wanna bear this pain. I was breaking down physically and mentally.
I did feel a kick to my chest twice and a something did smash my head. But the pain of your whole body breaking down would overshadow any other pain you feel. Even though I could feel my body getting tossed around, it didn't hurt as this.
By the time the pain precided, my body felt numb. I was barely able to think straight.
"Let's kill them both"
Those were the first words I could make out.
Kill.
kill me?
They said both.
Am I included?
I am, aren't I?
Whatever, I am too tired to resist.
Will it hurt?
Is it painful to die?
Will it hurt as it did earlier?
No
I don't wanna die.
I wanna live.
I don't wanna go through that pain.
I
"...wanna live... ", I muttered as I stood up.
My body felt alien to me. Even as I pushed myself up, it felt different.
I felt exhausted, but my body was recovering slowly. It felt strong, but I couldn't properly feel my own self properly.
But I didn't have time for this. Their are people trying to kill me. I don't wanna die.
With this resolution, I opened my eyes and glared at the men who are planning to kill me.
But what I saw surprised me. They didn't look like humans, they looked like monsters.
But for some reason, I didn't feel scared. Was it my resolution to survive? All my thoughts was to survive. Do whatever it takes to surv-
"Grimm.... "
They called me Grimm.
Although it wasn't paying attention to what they were saying, I could remember their lip movements (which didn't feel out of the ordinary for me at the moment)
I could feel them take a step back at first. Were they hestitating? Will they let me go?
As if too eager to prove me wrong,
"KILL HIM!"
One of them screamed. The three monsters rushed him, their scythes glew milky white. I instinctly felt the danger coming from those.
But their movements, it was too slow.
Almost as if they were walking.
Are these guys not taking me seriously?
