The Man

"Who are you?" ask Falir.

"I'm Magna. Don't you know me?" the mysterious man answered.

"No... It's not like you are the only man in the world..." 

"Hm, that's weird, the creator said everyone knows me."

Creator? Who's he talking about? Nevermind... His voice is concerning me more... 

The man has an immature kid voice that surely does not match his physical which bothered Falir.

"Mister, can you follow me? You are not supposed to be here," the man asked.

"Follow you? To where?"

"Hm, I hope you are joking. It's our creator's birthday today. Everyone has to celebrate it at the Hall."

Is this man a scammer or some weird cult member? I see now. I should ignore him...

"Oh... I see. I will pass. I want to hut some milk okay hehe," Falir put his hand up while walking away.

The man, unexpectedly to Falir, doesn't try to persuade him. He just stands there without saying anything.

Oh...  Seems like the cult teaches him to behave well... Good for them. What a pain in the ass if he tries to influence me.

****

As Falir wanders around his neighbourhood. He decides to go to his Ako's house. His friend from primary school.

Ako must be practising chess right now... Well, I don't have any idea where I should go to.

"Ako! Ako!" He shouts from outside yet no one answers.

After a minute, he decides to open the gate.

"ZENG!"

"AUCH! What the-"

Falir's head banged into something before he reach the gate. 

Why? What am I hitting my head with?

Once again he tries to open the gate.

"ZENG!"

His hand was pushed away by some unseen forces. He raised his hand out of curiosity to check the area in front of him.

"What the hell?"

"Zeng... Zeng... Zeng..."

An invisible force is blocking his way to the gate.
