Hell to Pay

As his mind came to reason he decided to talk to igor once more " ok fuck so that's what that tower did, bloody hell"

Igor's smile grows as he says in contrast "Contrarily I find this quite amusing, I've seen contractors gain the power of persona never a personal ability though"

He then notices me walking away towards the house "do as you like, we can't die in the velvet room so do have fun" he lays back as his smile stays amused at this new experience

I'm slightly intrigued by this but I let it go and go back to exploration, the ground was wierd with every short step being equivalent to a large jump

" das pretty cool " I stay as I arrive at the 'green home' in 10 steps everything seems to slow down as I hear extreme winds nearby the door

"I swear if I die searching for whatever this is Im blaming Igor" "I heard you" ignoring him I noticed the door is chained with a fist shaped hole in the middle

"If I wasn't sure before the velvet room and everything in it is a result of myself I'm sure now" your mind reminisces on Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal for a bit before you smile stupidly

'well if I don't say it now who knows when I can in the future' you get yourself in a comfortable jumping position before you leap just barely getting high enough to push your fist in

"ITS TIME TO HIGH FIVE THE SKY" with this quote as encouragement you perfectly punch your fist in as a green light surrounds you

The light blows around as you visualize it, you smile as you say " whelp I'm technically a mind wizard" you turn to igor and the twins patiently waiting

you move your arms in a straightforward position beside you straightening your legs with green light in your head shaped like a crown

"Fear me" you immediately break down laughing as the 3 residents seem confused at what just happened

Igor quickly fixed himself up as his leaning smile straightens once more " interesting it seems this ability has transformed your mind "

he pauses for a second to gain my attention

"with this you now are able to come whenever you go to sleep" 'sweet now I can figure whatever he is'

"However I do recommend waking up your body seems to be in danger" He bends down from his chair and grabs a old TV alongside a VHS tape

he pushes the tape into the TV as suddenly we see from my closed eyes "how does that even work" he ignores me as we see my house rumbling

I clearly not prepared for this ask urgently "HOW DO I LEAVE" I say slightly panicky as Igor points to the twins "you simply have to ask"

I briskly walk to the twins saying as quickly as I can "uh Caroline and Justine right?" The braided one snaps her head at me

"frankly I'm surprised you remember considering half of the time your in here your-" "panicking or getting hit over the head with a stick" bun girl finished 'heh bun girl'

You take a step back recognizing your too close and it looked like Justine was readying her stick

you sigh then say " listen sorry I've been kinda ignoring you guys, I've just been a bit busy trying to not die and everything is kinda surreal right now"

Justine lowers the stick as Caroline says " I. your defense we were slightly weary of your, most we have met were kind and controlled not as-"

she pauses looking for a word as she turns to her sister "wild" "wild as you have been, we are willing to make amends if you are"

i smile before saying "sure I'm willing" as I suddenly remember the video I was shown "OH CRAP uh sudden I know but could you send me back"

Caroline slightly smirks before turning away

as Justine smiles at me " sure absolutely just need you to turn around " I slightly confused turn around

there was a pause for a second as I hear sand shift and wind flowing behind me as I feel like a bat hit me

unconscious hits me as I hear Justine laughing as everything goes dark

. *RUMBLE*

. *RUMBLE*

I raise my body effortlessly " man I love the perfect sleep the velvet room gives me " as I get my weapon from beside my bed to approach the sounds beside me

I use the sword to make a back entrance 'rip Teepee 2022 - 2022' I walk out slowly creeping into the forest as the sounds get louder

I creep slightly around a tree and see a large furry thing with a mask, it's body pauses for a second as I hide behind the tree

I can feel it's gaze as I wait, suddenly I hear a different noise slowly get more distant glad that it walked away I sigh

'I wish I could ignore this however I'm somewhat stronger now and if those things exist in this world nearby me I'm dead'

slowly yet steadily you follow the noises from a distance as you walk behind it you see the sun Rising as a realization hits you 'I was following this thing in the middle of the night?'

your slightly surprised by this as everything seems perfectly visible, you realize it was probably because of that spire 'man I should touch any of those when I get the chance'

you've been following this thing for roughly 2 hours you assume 'man when is it going to stop' and like clockwork you stop hearing large stomping sounds

you move quickly and quietly as the world goes silent and grey you walk to where you last heard the mask thing stomping around

you see many crude wood houses 'like 20' with small masks and big ones with clubs walking around, some sleeping

you keep this in mind as you sneak around checking the 'town' sword in hand as the world goes back to normal as suddenly you hear wierd noises behind you

you notice it's a small mask as you turn around with it's club in hand screaming

it starts to chase toward you 'slow' swinging it's weapon, you easily dodge and slice with your sword on instinct

.

.

.

*schlic*

blood splatters on your arm as you realized you killed something, something maybe even someone alive you weren't given time to process this as three more appear

again the process repeats you dodge the first ones attack as the third tries to interfere

you easily slice it's club in half using the force to cut off it's head with ease as once more

.

.

.

blood lands on you... again... and again.... they keep coming over and over again

A big mask comes after you as the entire village is alerted, the mere force of it running

collapses some broken houses from your rampage, it moves with impressive dexterity as it summons from nowhere a shield smashing you with it

You get pushed back as your back lands and breaks through another house, you expect to feel something some emotion

.

.

.

nothing you feel nothing except the cold grin that's laid on your face since your first kill

your barely able to stand as the mask jumps in the air ready to finish your 'free trial of life'

as suddenly everything stops....

"YOOO Kymani hello" Josh sits in front of you impatiently as Tiraji sits in the corner on her phone

"sorry Josh just imagining your crying after you lose" A smirk clearly on my face as we play Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

He looses his moxie as he says " listen my dude just because you won 75 times doesn't mean your better" Tiraji in the corner looks up from her phone and says "75 times? that's depressing"

Josh falls back dramatically as suddenly I ask " hey what's the evilest thing you have ever done "

he reminisces as he says, " well I remember when I almost threw someone off a roof because he tried to start shit with me " he smiles at the end

He curious snaps back " how about you?" the atmosphere kinda changes for you but nobody noticed

"I remember when I was 10 I used to get bullied a lot, I was always stronger I could've easily broken every bone in their body" You say with a smile on your face

" the only thing stopping me was my Grandma she was still alive at the time and was my only saving grace, every time I got angry I remembered her and stopped " as Tiraji starts to focus on the conversation

"But she went to the hospital due to a heart attack, I was already barely holding up because of that. Then someone in class said something about her making fun of me" Josh and Tiraji look at each other knowing him very well

"I lost it, everything in my body told me to end his life and I obliged, however I was quite about it. He was a solo bully rather than those in groups I was pretty good at psychology and I kept mentioning near him I was going to hang out at the alley near the park"

Josh pauses the game as he say " did you kill him?" he says casually as I respond " Yep " Tiraji stands up and speaks " Jesus Christ can you guys ever stop acting like psychopaths "

we all laugh at her comment even herself as I say " c'mon you know we're all insane here, we all hold it back but it's the truth, Hell I bet I'm a few traumatic events away from completely acting as I think"

We go back to playing the game as my mind goes back to the guy I killed, 'i wonder how his family reacted to finding him with 2 bullets in his head'

The big mask club breaks into pieces as the world goes grey once more

"HAHAHA FINALLY YOU STOP SUPPRESSING ME"

The world cracks around me as a mask covers my face, it squirms filling me with false hopes, false ambitions

'i want it gone' ' Get off my face ' I scream with primal rage as an orange figure appears behind me

" this is a whole new world, let the past stay in the past "

My hands slowly tear the mask with impressive energy 'i want it gone' ' Get off my face '

"The world may not recognize your actions, people may differ from you however your actions are truth, and Justice belongs to the winners"

Blood starts Rising from my face as the mask fully rips off

"Your resolve has been proven. I art thou, Thou art I. Call upon me and release your chaos"

A man with horns and a perfectly build body with a handsome face alongside a suit appears behind me

"FOLLOW YOUR PRIDE AND SEND MY ENEMIES TO HELL, LUCIFER"

_______________________________________________

Yay Im not dead anyways I was trying to figure out what persona to give him when I started this story then it hit me exactly what I wanted to give him

also this was by far the 2nd longest with another chapter coming at 10 today (I don't know your timezones lol) about 9 hours from now

anyways your probably wondering why I made the MC insane, valid points originally I wanted to make a Deadpool fanfic but then I realized I wanted something a little personal

so I decided to make an mc with my personality but a messed up view on life for excitement purposes, obviously he needs therapy however instead of changing how he acts it'll just reinforce his ideals honestly

one last thing sorry for not uploading honestly

I got an addiction on gambling due to honkai and tried to roll for herrscher of finality and I got literally everything but her lol

also I tried rolling for her weapon and the only thing I got was trauma

peace (2000 words)
