Chapter 190: Fuzzy Memory [1]

Previously, the redhead blacksmith of enigma came face to face with a mysterious player known as Kitsune. The two of them got sealed with the use of a variety of sacrifices from different races that were considered players. Unable to find a way to escape the two of them continued their ongoing fight

[System: The player ??? Has activated the skill called [Devils hour]: As long as the player is inside a ritual or a spell that originated from demons they’ll wield their power. The current power they could possess is lesser demon summoning, sacrificial healing, and demonic rush]

“Increase my power whilst you feast on the flesh and blood of my offerings!! Bring upon the wrath of the demons and in return help me in my pursuit of punishing my foe!! Your power will run rampant, it’ll slowly corrupt my body, and yet I desire its power, come forth Demonic rush!!” Kitsune engulfs his body with a terrifying aura that dwells the aura of a demon once he was desperate to win

Even though he didnt suffer any kind of life-threatening injuries, Jin notices that his memories had emerged. It brought him a great shock and his head was constantly invaded by a bothersome headache. Before he could ever take another step, he suddenly remembers a short clip about his past

The memory started from the viewpoint of a tall and intimidating person bearing natural red hair. This person was Jin Kurenai at age of twenty of five in his room, it was a mess that was normally seen for a boy. But for him, it was not

__________________________

“Perfect, this little mask trinket might earn me a few bucks#*¶$+~!%¶(@++@-#?$(#(@+#+$;*;”+¿” It only took a few words and his brain started to well up and he received a pain like never before that affected his condition

__________________________

[System: Alert!!!!! The player is experiencing a shock after recalling a memory from the past]

’Arrrrgghh!!! Fuck!!! Fuck!!! Mother fucking son of a bitch that recently shit it hurts!!! That memory…? Why was I carving out a bunch of animal mask necklaces?’

His head wasn’t in perfect condition and yet he dodges an attack that came from his back along with countering Kitsune’s attack

“Blacksmiths rage!!” He throws a ton of shuriken in Kitsune’s direction which gains his fire attribute in the mix. Even if it wasn’t a direct hit, his shuriken exploded once they reached a certain range of their enemy. The explosion causes smoke to be dispersed in their locations where he used it to his advantage

[System: The player Jin Kurenai has activated the ongoing effect of the [Cloak Of Transparency]

Ongoing effect: Once worn by any player no matter their size and shape they’ll easily blend with their surroundings. This will only last until the cloak reaches its maximum time limit which is about 20 minutes. The duration has been lessened due to the negligence of the creator by forgetting its daily mana refill]

[System: The Originator Of Weaponry is using his authority to converse with its avatar within his mind]

[That was a close one!! I thought you said that your headache was gone!!? I just saw you have another irregularity within your psyche. Did you perhaps uncover another one of your memories? It only appears once you stumble across an important memory of yours. Well, now’s not the right time for us to chat about that, are you in need of some medication?]

’No, im fine… It’s a good thing that I ask Blake to give me some of these a while back. You might be right, there seems to be something related to me when I see that mask,’

[What’s the plan? Your headaches aren’t going to disappear if you don’t remember your memories. Don’t tell me we’re going to spare the life of that bastard? That look on your face, are you out of your mind!!? That player is related to demons, demons I tell you!! Do you know how much trouble they are?]

His deity was right, he had some similar cases before he could have encountered Morris in the world. There was a time when this headache of his would’ve endangered his life. The more important the memory was it’ll hurt him like no other, he hadn’t experienced anything like this apart from his tutorial

Before he enters the trials

’Where am I? No, who exactly am I? I can’t remember why im here?’

There were said to be some chances when a person would be active in their state of being comatose. Some remember the voices that were said near their unmoving body and some said that they experience something else. Jin was one of the few that was able to remember some of these events that transpired. He has yet to open his eyes and he could only hear the voices near his body, he was always drifting into the endless void

’That person they called the doctor…? By now I know I could’ve heard his voice once a long time had passed. I wonder why im alone. Did I do something wrong?’

At this time he couldn’t recollect any fragment of his past, but he didn’t completely forget about himself. For example, he could remember his name, he knows of his passion, and to say the least, he knows about his life. He was a delinquent drifting into an endless battle with a bunch of thugs that he wasn’t able to change. Anything after that was a place filled with nothing but endless attacks of his headaches

’Arrrrghh!!? Why… Why can’t I peek at my other set of memories? Why am I locked in this place? I want to know about my past!!?’

That’s when it appeared, a voice that didn’t seem to sound like a man or woman that calls for his attention

[System: Do you want to escape?]

The voice asked him if he wanted to leave. Leave this wretched place where it’s nothing but absolute darkness and a void without any kind of life? He was asked if he wanted to leave this place

’I want to leave!! I don’t care where im taken I want to leave this void of a place where im shackled!! Free me, I don’t care where I’ll be sent, be it heaven or hell!!!’

As sketchy as it may sound he agreed

[System: The world of trials is a world that kills its inhabitants. However, it bestows fairness to the one who agreed to be sent. All of your disabilities will be fixed, illnesses would be cured, and lastly, equality is its goal.

Outcome: You’ve been detected to have suffered damage that’s targeting your psyche!! The system will now undergo a procedure to heal you of your wounds!!]

[System: The player candidate will now be tested for his worth. You’ve been placed in white room #6!! Please wait for a Game master to appear and tell you the rules of the tutorial. That’s all that we’re able to say if you want to know more about your situation then you must survive]

By the time he heard of that message, it appeared before him and the rest of the players in their room. An unidentified entity was unlike anything he could’ve ever seen, but what he expected was beyond what he could’ve expected

“Hello everyone, I would like to welcome all of you to the world of trials. You were chosen to be this year’s player to satisfy the god’s boredom with your lives. Fret not but all that we promised are true, you’ll be rewarded in this world. That’s all that I have to say, I wish you all the best of luck in your new life,” The entity has spoken, and his head came to have another episodic headache that stimulated his nerves like never before

’Arrrrggh!!! This hurts!! This feeling? Why is it being triggered by that thing?’

No matter how much he tried to cover his ears, the entity have already spoken the trigger of his headache. Apart from him passing out or having pain that he couldn’t endure, there was something that change. At the end of it all lies a memory that he has long forgotten about

__________________________

“Hey, Jin!! Are you spacing out again?” A skinny black-haired boy called out to him once more

He founds himself remembering a time of his youth, a time that came after his life as a feared delinquent. This was the turning point of his life, the time when he focused on his life and what’s more the time he met his friend. This weak-looking black-haired kid? When he came to have gazed upon his face, he remembered most of the memories he’d lose

“W-Who are you?” Jin replied to the boy standing before his view whilst his face looked bewildered by this boy

“Are you still half asleep? Bruh, can’t you even remember the first friend you made? Sigh, well it’s not like my name is important or whatever. I’m Christoper Morris im going to write the greatest story there is to see in this world. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten. You even joke about becoming my editor,” Jin notices a horrible handwriting that seems oddly familiar to his eyes. It was the prologue the voice of the entity he recently met. That was the last thing saw before he was pulled back to reality

__________________________

’Christoper Morris?’

Before he could come to realize the state of the room, the trial was already over. His hands were filled with blood that originated from the monsters. He fought them senselessly without having the time to care about his wellbeing

[System: 30 minutes have passed!! You’ve cleared the tutorial!!! You’ve proven your worth, you’re now allowed to the world of trials]

Back to the present

’Hephi can you help me out with this fight? I think I have to follow my gut. That masked player is giving me the same painful surge as the time I remembered Morris. I need to know about my life,’

[Grrrg, fine I’ll help, but if he’s not important to you then we can kill him after? If the memories concerning this person. They might have a great effect on you, it’s either someone you cherish or someone that might be the reason for your trauma]

’I wouldn’t know if I had any trauma if I can’t remember, so yeah I need to know,’

After his headache dialed down, he came turned off his cloak and came back to his fight. He attacks Kitsune with a swing of his hammer from the right that immediately propels his foe. But it was an attack that Kitsune had anticipated, what he attacked was a mimic. A lesser demon that copied his form and the real location of his foe was at his back

“You’re not gonna land a free hit,” With the use of metal manipulation he controlled the metal in his shield and block his attack
