Chapter 6 - chapter 6: Threads

In a few minutes after the Phenomenon my entire body was Tingling with a sense of danger beacuse what im seeing right now is a real Distortion

This isn't giggles and shit anymore because i hope it isn't that comparable to bamboo hatted kim or even Distorted heathcliff!

I held my identity card as tightly as i could , my heart Is beating fast as if it had known the danger sooner than my own consciousness-

*Creak...*

The entrance slowly opened even though theres no one that hold the doorknob and in that limited view space was the Distorted man Standing infront a pool of blood while corpses was Dismembered

My body froze , the presence around the man was pressuring me even though we're far away from it

Then- that thing Slowly turned its head to look at us with its big gaping hole on its face

For some reason it felt solemn and theres a strange sense of connection with it and myself almost as if we're related to something

Suddenly it took a step forward to the door before eventually-

*CLANG!*

My entire body was changed into the identity version as we suddenly clashed with eachother after it Lunged at me with its fast leg.

"...Ghk! Hae-un Get somewhere safe away from here. I'll distract this thing!"

I yelled to hae-un giving her directions as to keep her away from danger while i was trying to distract and fend off from this thing

After a few seconds i managed to gain the upperhand and Shoved the man away before i recklessly slashed it when it let its guard down

No physical wounds not injury was applied to the Distorted but its very soul seemed to have a cut on it althought its shallow

The distorted man itself seemed to understood that my attacks was Deadly not because it harms directly to it but it harms directly inside of it

"KIEEKKK!!!" The distorted man suddenly let out a loud warcry as its heart was beating rapidly

What the hell is this damn thing supposed to be!? What kind of sick twisted personality and desires does he have!

The warcry Made my ears uncomfortable yet it wasnt enough to keep me disorientated

After doing its warcry i quickly charged towards the man and leap through the air as my legs we're rapidly approaching to the man body dropkicking it in the process

The heavy armour Made the kick have more impact which puts the Person in a Wobbly state of confusion

I Safely landed into the ground before tightly holding my katana and Proceeding to take a Deep breath before Unleashing the final blow

[S2: Reckless Slashes]

*SWOOM!*

The entirety of his soul was cut into piece leaving nothing behind except a hollow Shell of the distorted man.

After the fight was over i was a bit exhausted before shattering my identity and turning back to my former self , i grabbed a bar of cigar and a lighter before lighting it up and inhaling it.

I Took a look at his corpse before Clasping both of my hand together and doing a informal prayer to it before quickly heading out to find hae-un

At that moment as i walked away from it the corpse slowly fades into golden light strings as if something was weaving it from existence.

--------------

In the aftermath of the event i was cleaning up hae-un and showering her because she somehow stumbled in a puddle of mud in the streets while we're walking back home.

Seriously...this kid is alot more clumsy than i ever think she is , but i guess thats her charm beacuse at this time i was happy with it

After bathing she seemed tired from all of that walking and event so i just Laid her off into my bed and Hugged her before turning off the light in the room and closed the door

Now i just sat in the couch before pulling myself back into that same place which i now call it the Oblivion Space.

Within that i noticed something in the ground its a llightbulb glowing with shimmering light before picking it up and seeing a gold yellow strands of Threads inside it

My eyes widened as i realized what it is , a Thread. a valuable resource capable of Strenghtening the person identity and ego to unimaginable level.

I didn't know how it appeared until i looked at the other side of the bulb and see a name had been written in it

[The Gaping heart and mind -TETH-]

the Gaping heart and mind Is it referring to the distortion i had killed before? But then if it what i think it is it'll be a crazy discovery.

Do humans and people doesnt count for Threads to appear? Then it has to specifically be something non-human..

Whatever it is , this is a huge discovery beacuse i have found a way to unlock the potentials thats been laying in this identity

But how do i use it? I wasnt given instructions and guidance about this place after all-

*crack*

I looked at the mirror infront of me realizing theres a small crack in the center of it before it grew larger and larger to the point the whole mirror would shatter at singular touch

"...what the?" I looked at it with confusion before walking forward and inspecting the mirror

As i looked at it i noticed both the lightbulb glows at the same time theres a golden light in the cracks of the mirror

I thought it was coincidence until my identity card also glowed brightly which Made a idea come to light itself as if this place was giving me a hint

I raised both of my hand before placing both of card and thread into the center of the mirror and waiting to see a result

Both of the item was slowly submerged into the mirror before the mirror flashed with golden light , jeez this damn place really needs the process to be flashy.

After a while the card suddenly ejected from the mirror before the words threadspinned appeared a couple of seconds on the card and disappear leaving it with a new look

The card had that dull orange-grey colour scheme before but now it had matched the colour of the identity ego making it feel more like the identity itself had been deeply engraved into the card.

I looked at the back of the card and realized a mini-picture of the distortion i had fought before now appeared in the card like it was a trophy for the identity itself

I sighed for a second and sat down into the ground Quietly Staring at the river , enjoying the momentary peace.

-----------

The bus Engine growled deeply Yet the people in the bus screamed louder

"Oi Knock it off You Bastard! Im trying to get a sleep here" A Man With a Bat screamed angrily as he kept being bothered by the argument from 5 people

Meanwhile in the very top left of the seat suddenly jolted from sleeping beacuse they had felt a very powerful presence just like when they followed the stars.
