《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 53 - Labyrinth Of The Void Walker

Advertisement

Kate's Point Of View

Clark came back from his training after a day and he said he was stronger and we are only waiting on Verod to arrive from the Dragon Continent, however if my knowledge on dragons is right, that huge golden dragon that just came into view is most likely Verod.

"Sorry for being late" Verod said openly as he changed into his human form. after that Cark walks up but I grab him by the shoulder.

"Just to make sure but after this, you are returning John's abilities back to him aren't you?" I said and he nodded.

"They are not mine in the first place, however they have helped me achieve much greater power then I thought possible, however he gave them to me assuming he was going to die for good. I have no reason to keep his power" Clark said to me before walking into the void of paper

[Party Invite has been received from Clark Teta]

[Me: What Is Up? need something]

[Clark: Yes I do, tell everyone to come into the dungeon, it is not something that one person can do]

[Kieran: What do you mean by that. do I need to super burst or not?]

[Clark: Maybe, just get in here and decide yourself, I am on floor 294]

[Nina: Already?]

[Clark: Now I am on floor 38]

What is he talking about? I walk in and I am moved into a room, it is small, it had 4 black voids, they look like they go on forever, I can't see a thing through them.

[Floor 432]

WOW, I am so close already? I walk through a black void and feel like I am being watched and after a few steps I see a light and I am inside the centre of another room.

[Floor 280]

Damn it, what is this place.

[Kieran: Everyone out, get out as soon as you see the exit, this place is the Labyrinth Of The Void Walker, a part of your soul you never want to have to visit]

[Me: What is that supposed to mean]

[Kieran: All the pain you have ever went to is trapped in this one part of your soul. in side of this huge labyrinth is all the pain John has ever faced in physical form. What I am saying is that you do not want to run into it or you will feel all the pain John has felt, correct me if I am wrong but that amount of pain is huge]

[Me: But John always smiles and acts cheerful. we must still have a chance if he can push past the pain right]

there was a long pause, I had went through a lot of floors in the time the conversation occurred

[Clark: he pushed on because you were there for him, along with Nina, Lilian, Eron and more on pending. if he showed his true pain you would not be able to be happy, so he bottled it all up]

[Me: How would you know that?]

[Clark: Because he told me, even with the pain he was facing it was worth it because of you]

I enter another room and I see something, in one of the pathways. in the pitch black darkness was a pair of eyes. they came closer and closer until I saw it. "JOHN" I said calming down, I walked towards him and felt more pain then I have ever felt in my life. I could not even stand. my head was killing me and I couldn't move.

"Super Burst" Kieran said as he saw me, he tackled John and went through the portal. behind me. Is Kieran ok... Is John ok? I go through that portal and nothing. there was nobody there.

[Me: Kieran, are you there?]

[Clark: I heard him shout super burst from here, who walked over to John's Void Walker?]

[Me: What?]

[Kieran: I am all right, I just had to regenerate my arm but next time don't think it is John, think of him as in Bloodlust aura stage 20 or something]

What are they trying to say? I should have noticed if John was in pain, right? I mean I have kissed and slept with him... as in just the same bed since John just used sleep wave on us, that reminds me when he gets back I know the first thing I am going to do...

John's Point Of View

I thought I saw Kate for a moment, however she vanished. I guess it was just my imagination... death is boring... you have nothing to do... looking around I am still in a black void and there is still a paper platform with stairs leading up behind it. wait... why is there another version of me, I saw the platform had nowhere to go then turned around and left back down the stairs... what is with this place?

Kate's Point Of View

[Floor 484]

I AM ALMOST THERE!!!

[Floor 3]

OH COME ON!!!

Kieran's Point Of View

I see the void walker, he looks like John, however is only a construct made of the inner pain, I wonder if John has weakened it some how. It feels like it is being restrained. a line of energy tethering it to the ground, what could it be?

Verod's Point Of View

[Floor 82]

[Floor 83]

[Floor 84]

[Floor 2]

[Floor 3]

...

Kate's Point Of View

how do you get through this maze? Verod said he is working our a strategy for getting through by trying every option for each floor and remembering where it takes you. everyone else has there own strategy, I am walking around just going to where I feel John is

[Floor 1]

I see the exit, however it does not lead to John. I turn around and sure there are a few paths, I just walk through one and hope with all my heart to see John again.

[Floor 485]

what?... I DID IT

[Me: I did it!!!]

.... no response... maybe there is bad connection where I am? I look around and there is a set of stairs going up, it is a black void in any other direction, the stairs are made of Paper and looking around so is everything else except it had some colour to it. this Paper is pure white. I run up the stairs and then see nothing, I was standing on a platform with nothing there... was this trip pointless? was there something we missed?

"Father?" ???

who said that. I don't know however after that I saw John floating in the distance, however I felt myself being pulled away, I turned around and the Void Walker was coming up the stairs, and there was nowhere to run. I hide myself with Fire Illusions and sure enough he finds nothing and turns away, I wait until he leaves fully to remove my Ilusions, John however looks to be in pain.

Kieran's Point Of View

THAT DAMN VOID WALKER *PUNCH* YOU DAMN *KICK* ANNOYING *WHACK* PIECE OF *PUNCH*....

Kate's Point Of View

John looks to be in a lot of pain... I look around and there is nothing that shows how he could be revived... how do you even go about reviving someone. I use fire to check and sure enough there is no path over to John, it is a bottomless pit.

"Ahh, It looks like someone beat me here" Eron said from behind me and I notice the room get noticeably lighter. I then just sit down and wait for the others

"I have been waiting for a while, what kept you so long?" I said jokingly and she smiled.

"I ran into Kieran kicking the shit out of a Void Walker" Eron said and we both laugher

"That monster really does scare other monsters doesn't he?

Kieran's Point Of View

I see the Void Walker try and escape from me by crawling the upper half of his body through a portal, I kicked him into the corner and reatached his lower half before kicking him through the portal. "Take that... now wait I am not done yet, get back here" I said to the void walker as I followed him through the portal.

Kate's Point Of View

*Bang* *Crack* Thump* *kick* I hear some noises and then see John's night walker go flying past us into the air and straight into John's soul that I have been keeping an eye on for some time.

"What did I miss?" Kieran asked everyone who was waiting, he was the last one to arrive because of kicking John's Void Walker into the ground.

"This was not meant to be a fun trip you know, however I think you did it" Verod said as he pointed over to John who was now in front of us without his clothes on... I guess you don't take clothes with you when you die however he soon noticed and equipped some from his inventory.

"Wait what? I though you gave Clark your power?" Verod said in confusion and he looked confused.

"I didn't, he got the alpha version, I have updates and he doesn't, mine is limitless and his is limited. that is the difference" John said with a smile as he started walking past us and down the stairs. "Come, I will lead you out. I can feel the way out with my Chakra so follow" John said with a smile... What is Chakra?

John's Point Of View

"Also, It looks like I am getting glimpses of the future as I saw a little girl call me father" John said with a smile making everyone else stop.

"Who would the mother be?" Michael asked with a cheeky eye over at Lilian.

"I don't know, she had a Paper Mask on making it impossible for me to identify her" I said and then Michael laughed at me.

"What kind of father does not even know there own kid?" he said and I looked at him straight in the eyes.

"I don't know. it is not like I can change the future so it doesn't really matter" I said simple however I felt the girls behind me at each other's throat.

[Sacral Chakra: your second Chakra gate has been opened, you now can have skills related to this Chakra gate]

[Empathy: because of your second Chakra gate you have a much better understanding of emotions to the point you know what people feel on instinct]

[Because of your second Chakra Gate being opened your charm stat is now more effective depending on Chakra]

[Chakra Stat has been added]

[Better Control of Chakra has lead to the Root Chakra Gate to develop another ability]

[Chakra Aura: You can now use Chakra as an aura that will improve physical stats by 500%. percentage rises with Chakra Potency and control. Opening More Chakra's will add to the affects]

"that is interesting, my second Chakra gate opened" I said aloud however everyone else looked confused.

[Aura: Chakra]

with this my aura changed, it did not feel like a fire of energy surrounding me before, it was a controlled calm aura, staying within a centimetre of my skin at all times for protection and bodily empowerment. however I could still feel it projecting up to 10 meters away, this aura was increasable.

"wow, you may make a good Martial Artist with that kind of aura. scratch that, with your ability you will make a good martial artist period if you tried. maybe you should go and" Before Verod could continue Kate, Eron Nina and Lilian jumped in front of me.

"You will swallow that statement back down your throat, John will relax, he will return to the 3 Fists Academy, we will spend some quality time with each other and only THEN do I give you permission to continue that statement" Kate said with what I believe is a mixture of anger against Verod and Love for me. with a hint of anger at me for leaving her all alone while I went and died...

"Here we are" I said as we reached the exit and as soon as I left

[Penalty Of Death: you will be temporally killed and will respawn in the last place you slept tomorrow mourning at 3 o'clock so that the Gamer Ability can update and reprogram itself]

"I am sorry, I looks like I have a Death Penalty, I will be back as soon as I can" I said with a smile as I my body started to be pulled apart into small orbs of light.

"Wait... Why? you only just got back" Kate said almost crying and Eron ran and grabbed my and then started to pull the orbs of light back into me. a fruitless effort.

"Relax, I will respawn this time. in the last place I slept" I said simply and they looked at me with curious eyes and I thought back... "hmm... where was it I last slept?" I said aloud before the light orbs increased in size and frequency.

"Relax, it is ok, just come back to the academy when you respawn, you should not take to long right?" Clark said with a smile and I nodded. as I started to fully disappear...

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