Chapter 1:
Room for One
"Haa... Haa....Haaa ...AHHH!"
One looks up and find himself inside of his bed. Sweat begins to pour down from the side of his face as he begins to recall the fateful event of the shadow hand reaching close to grabbing him. He looks around his whole room frantically and notices his room looks almost the same but with a few changes. His bed, wardrobe, table, chair, and a paper remained the same the moment he drew his table and chair into existence. Though this time the door he had summoned changed to be a white door with a simple lock covering the handle. One couldn't helped but puke on the floor as anxiety and fear dwells inside of him as if he just ran away a beast that was chasing after him. As One gasp for air, he looks to the side of the clock and notices the time has changed to 1:00.
"1:00? That shadow hand made the clock's hand come into existence, but... wasn't it 12:00 originally?"
As One looked in a bit of fear and confusion he goes back to his bed with the blanket covering his whole body.
What the hell was that? A shadow hand, a scream, and now the clock points to 1:00. What is going on in here... I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave...
Time passed and One's room was in a state of a mess. His papers were scattered all over the floor with some absorbing in the liquid in his puke. The clock was pulled down with glass shattered yet the handles still remained on tact at 1:00. The table and chair flipped and broken into pits as if a fight has gone down. His walls were drawn all over with random words and images shown:
WHY, SHADOW, FEAR, BOREDOM, SLEEP ONLY, NO ESCAPE, DO NOT OPEN
Repeated over and over and some
"Huh wait... I remember this paper, but... it looks a bit different than before."
Rule 1: Do not ask yourself any questions about the past or the room will reset
Rule 2: Remember to be creative or something bad might happen
Rule 3: Only a pen can leave the rest must stay
Rule 4: Never let the Clock reach 0
Rule 5: Leave the room to see the truth or stay here in safety
"I don't remember putting in this three rules but that clock showed up to be at 12:00."
As One holds the paper and looks towards the clock his eyes looks in a sight of concern.
"I don't know why or how but I better make sure it doesn't hit to zero..."
One looks to his wardrobe and sees the key that he has created to block the door. As he grabs the key, he looks towards the locked door and feels his heart start beating. He can't tell how much time has passed since the shadow hand appeared, but the one thing remains fresh in his mind is the time he was almost caught. Sweat starts to pour from his hand and face but each time he recalls he shacks his head recalling the markings he had man.
"Either I have to deal with the shadow hand for my escape or continue to drive myself insane in this *safe* room. Sighh which poison should I swallow this time...."
As One layed onto the floor covered with multiple pieces of paper he scattered around, he looks to his side and notice one paper with some markings on it. The paper had a crude image of a hill with a tree on top of the center while small wild flowers and cloves surround the base of the hill. Seeing the image One recalled the time he made this drawing.
I feel like for this place to be my room, it is just feel oddly safe for me... I mean for an actual safe place it should be something much more like an area that is filled with nature not a giant white room. Hmmm I got an idea.... yea... Yea! This is it. I want to find a place like this the moment I escape from here.
One's mind return and he looks at the drawing he made and told himself.
"I don't know how much time has passed, but if I stay here any longer I feel I can understand what it means for something bad to happen if I am bored."
One drops his drawing and grabs both the pen and key. He walks over to the door and feels his heart beating fast as he looks at the lock on the door.
"I am scared but if I continue to stay here I am afraid of what will happen to me if this continues on!"
One looks back to the door and his eyes change filled with hope. He inserts the key into the locked door and begins to turn it till he hears a sound.
*CLICK* *CLAMP*
The lock on the door falls to the floor and One begins to turn the door slowly. As the door begins to open, the darkness behind the door starts to spread out into the white room as if it is being contaminated by the shadow. One heart continues to beat faster, but he continues to push on till the door finally opens fully. He looks towards the pitch black abyss and his eye looks in a bit of fear but curiosity.
The room appears are to be more exact a long dark hallway with a little lightbulb at the very end showing a white door. One begins to slowly walk across the hall and as he tries to make his way to the end, his eyes begin to adjust and notice there were apparently more doors from his left to right side. A total of 8 doors, four from his right and the other from his left. One continued to keep walking till he arrived at the white door. He examines from top to bottom and notices the handle where he slowly reaches his hand till.
"WeLCoME bAcK I sEe"
One immediately turned his head around and his heart drop as he sees a two bright white balls spinning above till it adjusts itself with pupils staring right into him and a smile emerges from the shadow. A body soon begins to form as if the shadow was a mist. A figure with a cat like face and a dog like body manifested in front of One sitting on it's own hind legs.
"WhOops my Bad Welcome~"
