Reality's Rejection

And the way she does divination magick with her D20 Dice set is something she calls the 7th sense. The 6th chakra or the 6th sense is in the astral planes of the 4-dimensional world that she can see and other normal humans don't.

It's beyond just the 3D planes of the real world. Yet, this "7th" sense is actually something she claims she's ascended beyond the 4th dimension. Seeing all things from past to present to the future, outcome, after an eternity, etc.

Breaking the quantum time-space passing unlimited eternities beyond infinity all happens at once, saying that time does not exist. Which, time is just an illusion created by the human mind to cope with the mind-fucking things happening around us we're not aware of.

As soon as I turned to the alleyway, it looked familiar. It reminded me so much of Euphorium due to the area's familiarity. I turned right, and I saw it. It was the wall where the underground bar was supposed to be. On my right, there was the same homeless man as the suited man killed, but this time, he was alive.

He called out my name, which was terrifyingly accurate, as if he was a mind reader, "Hey, Klei! Looking for this?" he shouted at me. His face was intoxicated by some kind of drug that had never existed before. I turned my head to him, and he held up the CodeX that I used to have.

"You stole this from me. But it's fine. I didn't pay for it and he killed me." He said,

"Really?" I asked as I was very puzzled, "Where did you get that? And how is this even possible?"

"Here, take it." he says as he lends me the earpiece, "I owe you for killing that man. Luckily, I survived because of you. You played with my toys that I was supposed to have but luckily, someone heard those gunshots you and Sakura fired in the slums under the bridge."

I walked up to him and quickly took the earpiece he was lending me, but he was too fast to take it back. "Not so fast, kid. If you want this back, you have to continue my mission. A legacy of mine."

"Tell me more." I requested.

"Well, you see. There's this cult going on. It's a weird conspiracy theory that's rare to hear that anyone who talks about it gets shot. I tried to buy this earpiece that transported you to another world to give me the advantage of killing the cult leader. That leader's name is FEAR don't know what that means, but no one had seen his face before, not even his right-hand man, Cardy.

Or woman, I don't know, some made-up genders nowadays, huh? This cult leader ran a program around the globe for world domination. He recruited people into selling their souls to him so they could take them to some kind of Elysian Fields thing.

Claimed it was the Greek version of Heaven from Christianity. They are some a Satanic movement in disguise that asked the Devil himself to help him control the world. It's some kind of Illuminati bull crap, right? But it's not. They're worse than the Illuminati.

I came from a special secret organisation against the government's schemes for new world order. We've been stopping them for centuries ever since The Templar Knights of Baphomet was founded. It's a family business, and I'm the only last one standing.

I'm too old for this shit, but I need you to take over my place so that when I die, I can finally be at peace knowing that the world will not be ruined by some demonic cult funded by the government.

As I've heard so far, the cult leader's real name is Dante. But I suspect it's just to hide his identity. Even though there are already thousands of people named Dante, it's better safe than sorry, right?

He distorts his identity to everyone, and you may never know that he's among walking through the everyday society we live in, disguised to be some supervillain.

He's narcissistic, manipulative, egoistic, infallible, charming, charismatic, and the least bad he could do to you is torture you. The worst he could do is to drive you insane to suicide. But I don't know why everyone loves him.

He's being praised. He usually wears this modified bulletproof yet very thin black hooded cloak that you could barely see his skin underneath it. And wears a white and red masquerade mask once he goes outside to the public for a show. Such as speeches and all those sorts. Are you up for it? Just to get this earpiece? I know where your weapons are hidden. I'll give them a free modification with one of your friends."

I got even more confused than I previously was, and asked him sincerely, "But, why me?"

"Because you're the only one Dante has the most interest in." He says, which caught me intruiged but refused to show it, so I leaned towards him a bit as he continues;

"You could play his mind games, make him like you until you stab his back, literally. Look, if I can't convince you, this world is doomed, even your family.

They are already making a vaccine that has microchip implants under your skin that when you disobey an order from their collective, they will blow up the microchip that is going to make all of your blood boil drastically in a matter of a second until you explode guts and intestines all over the place. Nothing will be left of you."

I shook back from the surprising news and mentioned, "But I was vaccinated."

"I know, that's why I replaced it with the actual cure rather than the placebo ones that they've been making all this time, making the media think it's the vaccine." he says with the witty smirk on his face;

"Which is why people still get infected with it. The true vaccines is hidden by the government that Dante runs. I managed to steal one of them, but I'm too old to do everything on my own. All I can do is to have someone else replace me. And a few friends of yours.

That's why the US President managed to get a cure instantly when he got infected, claiming it was the cure. Even though there are no actual full immunity vaccines. The fluids in the vaccines are meant to slowly create an implant microchip under your skin.

It's not anything chemically healthy. They're all electrical liquids that form into an explosive device. Dante has the remote control in his room. With that, you can turn it all off, destroy the server programs, everyone will be free. If you see a clean, non dystopian high tech future in Euphorium, that is his 'Elysian Fields' or some bull crap.

His members believe it is the afterlife. And he is thirsty for blood and kills everyone he wants, making people think they're going to go there with him. Everyone thinks of him as some kind of God."

"What's in it for me, then?" I bargained, expecting I would have a reward to do his demands.

"I'll get Sakura back to you." he chuckled, laughing like the old hobo he is.

I closed the conversation by saying, "It's a deal."

He gave me the earpiece, and my consciousness was transported back to Euphorium. However, my physical body is still rendered in the real world. And the homeless man was not rendered in the simulated reality of Euphorium as soon as I went online on the CodeX, as if he never existed.
