Where Is It Coming From?

Kiyo and Mika run in the dark hallways trying to run away from a horde of doggybot. At the end of the hallway, they stumble upon the iron door. They both open it and immediately close it to prevent the doggybot from chasing them any further. Kiyo uses his chain on the door knob to prevent them from opening the door.

"I think... we're safe for now." Mika sighed in relief as he fell to the ground.

"Ah~ Thank god." Mika looked like he was about to pass out. Meanwhile, Kiyo looked around the place to see any way out they could go through.

"I think we're in the kitchen. There's kitchen stuff lying around too."

"Great, you can cook us food too."

"Nope, there's no stuff to cook about. This is a place created by Deathless World. There's no possibility there would be any ingredient here."

"Ah, there is it." Mika opened the closet and found a bunch of raw meat, vegetables, and spices inside it.

"For real?!"

"Hihihi, looking at this meat makes me hungry as hell. Kiyo, let's cook it!"

"Nonono, No fucking way that's real! Is it even edible?!"

"Who knows, but all I'm gonna do is cook it!"

"Wait Mika, usually the raw meat is supposed to be stored inside the frozen place. If we count the time right, isn't the meat already contaminated?"

"Eh~ But, this meat is frozen when I hold it. Wanna touch it?" Kiyo touched the raw meat. It was just what Mika said, it was too cold as if they were just taken from inside the fridge. Kiyo then tried to touch the fruit in the closet.

"The meat is cold and frozen. But the fruit isn't." Kiyo heard the sizzling sound behind him. It was Mika, cooking the raw meat he got from the closet. As Kiyo stared at it, he started gulping.

("That meat looks delicious... No No No, that's not possible! Since when was there a gas barrel there?! I'm certain there wasn't any went I checked it!")

"Mika, Listen to me! Stop cooking for a second!" As Kiyo tried to grab Mika's shoulder, he was pushed away. At that time, Kiyo definitely felt something was wrong here.

"Mika?" Mika's saliva was flowing on the meat he was cooking. His eyes are fixated only on the meat as if the predator can't wait to maul its prey.

"Meat, meat, meat~ HIHIHIHIHIHI~~~ Ah, but only the taste of meat isn't that tasty. If only there was a flavor enhancer- Ah, there it is!" Just to his side, there was any flavor enhanced such as ketchup, sauce, and mustard.

"When did those were there- Uh? Why is my eyes is blurry?" Kiyo's mind went blurred and dizzy for a moment. But his eyes are still fixating on Mika who's still cooking meat. But as Kiyo's dizziness has faded, he can't believe what he just saw. The meat Mika was cooking is actually a head of doggybot. But that wasn't only it, the ketchup in Mika's hand was actually the bottle with black oil inside it. If Mika were to pour the black oil that was sensitive to hot inside the hot frying pan. It will burn everything around them as if they were volcanoes.

"MIKA! DON'T POUR THAT THING IN!!!" As Kiyo tried to reach for Mika, it was already too late. The black oil causes an explosion upon contact with the pan and sends Kiyo away. But the next thing Kiyo opened his eyes, Mika was not moving from the place he was standing. Instead, he's still cooking the doggybot's head he thought was meat.

"HAHAHAHA~!!! MEAT!!! MEAT!!! MEAT!!!" The fire from the pan spread to his hand and then almost to his face. Kiyo knew he couldn't sit down as he was watching his friends were burned in front of him.

"Wind Ball!" Kiyo sends the wind ball between Mika and the pan to separate them.

"NOOO!!! MY MEAT!!!" Kiyo punched Mika as hard as he could praying it could wake Mika up.

"Just wake up already!" Kiyo's punch sends Mika flying to the wall. The wall cracked upon contact with Mika.

"MEAT! MEat- huh? What was I doing again? Kiyo gave a sigh of relief as he saw Mika was back to normal.

"Huh~ I thought you were gone crazy for sure. But Mika, about your skin." Kiyo tried to clarify Mika's skin that was burned a while ago. But a second later, Mika's hands were red as tomatoes were healed in moderation paste. 

"Ah, it healed."

"It is indeed healed- WAIT, WHAT WAS THAT?!!"

"Huh? Why were you talking like this is the first time you've seen it? You've seen it a hundred times when I healed my injuries from fighting."

"Yeah, but that was only a bulge and scar-"

("But, I never knew his healing regeneration was this strong. Is he about level 3?") At the same time, Mika looked at Kiyo's finger, which had been bitten off by the doggybot. Mika reached it on instinct and then a glowing green light emanating the dark room. The three fingers that were gone were healed slowly but perfectly.

"My finger, it healed..." Kiyo tried to move his new finger. Although it's still numb, but it was there. Kiyo grabbed both and Mika's shoulder.

"Mika! With this healing power, you can get a high-paying job in the city!"

"Wait Kiyo, this isn't really a time to- Kiyo! Above you!" Mika caught a glimpse of the red eyes of a black figure hanging on the ceiling. The black figure jumps down towards Kiyo with a sharp weapon in his hand.

"So, you're the enemy huh?" The figure has been cut to pieces before it lands on the ground. At the same time, Rudy spat his drink on the monitor.

"MY CREATION!!! NOOO!!! I spent a lot of effort to build that!!! His skin should've been as hard as black metal! How the hell did he cut it that fast?! It hasn't even hit the ground!" Mika was dumbfounded as he looked at the robot he hadn't seen before.

"So... that's it?"

"Yeah, Although it was surprisingly easy. But yeah, this is it. Anyway, we need to get up as fast as we can-" Kiyo caught a glimpse of the human figure behind him. But as soon as he turned around, there wasn't anyone there.

"Weird, is it my imagination?" Before Kiyo could take one step to the door, he noticed that his nose was bleeding.
