The Slice Game [Vol. 1] The Distorted Mirrors (On Hiatus)

Chapter 4: I Am....

*Cough, cough*
I woke up to choking on the water from the river. I shake uncontrollably from the cold.
"...Nng..."
I struggle to move as my weak muscles ache from the pain.
I sit up and take a deep breath and look at my wristband.
"Not good."
LP: [59]
It appears I took too much damage back there. I have no choice but to solve this puzzle today before the day breaks.... speaking of..... how long was I out?
I look around. The waterfall before me roared as the cold mist blanket my body.
I got up and stumble to a nearby tree and sat down.
I know that I can't rest for long, but I need to get my mind in order.
"Let's see here."
I took out the Flashlight and the power core.
I put the power core into the socket and try to turn it on.
*Click, click*
....
Nothing?
AI: "First Function is now operational. Want me to explain?"
"....yes...."
AI: "The power core is used to power the beasts that you seen before. Now that you obtained it, it now recognized you as it's master and give you strength."
So.... it's alive.
AI: "The function is a weapon that freezes the monsters in place for 10 seconds. But be mindful, that in the Mirror World, it can only be used for a limited number of times. Right now, you have 5 tries. Use it respectfully."
"....I see....Thank you for the reminder."
"Of course."
After that, the female AI gone silent.
5 tries. That should be enough. But with a horde, that might not be the most affective method.
I lean back against the tree and close my eyes.
After a few minutes, I got up and stretch.
"I should head back."
I head out and climb up the hill to see a asian temple. The temple is three stories tall and wide. The door is open. I walk in. When I walk in, the door close behind me.
What now? This can't be....
AI:" A boss battle is about to start. Want me to explain?
".... Explain...."
AI: " At your current Character Level, You might lose this battle. But, with you Wit as you primary weapon, you might gain an advantage. Want to start?"
When she mean Wit as my primary weapon.... that means I can equip another weapon....
"Can I equip the Flashlight as my secondary weapon?"
AI: "As a secondary weapon. Want to prepare before we start?"
"Yes."
AI: "You have 30 seconds."
After that, she gone silent. After her departure, a time display appear before me.
I sigh.
This will be a good chance to check my Lifeline.

....
Such a big improvement.....
I look at the time.
20 seconds left.
Okay, what does the journal and ink pen do?
I open the journal to see one page covered with the monster that I stabbed earlier. On the page, it shows the monsters name and weaknesses, as well as strengths, including the time of day they appear in the Mirror World.
"A Murghist. Interesting."
10 seconds.
I close my eyes and take deep breaths.
9 seconds
This will work in my favor. It has to be....
7 seconds.
Because...
