TRIGGER WARNINGS - DELUSION, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, MENTION OF BEING IMPAILED, GORE, MENTION OF DECAPITATED HEAD

Mason woke up from his bed with a horrible headache. Ever since a few days ago, he had been getting non-stop migraines. It was starting to drive him nuts. These migraines weren't like your average ones though, they were way worse. Anytime he spent more than an hour awake he would start to hear voices. These voices were telling him horrible things.

It felt like someone had a microphone and was telling the world every single intrusive thought he's ever had. He's tried everything. Nothing will calm these thoughts down. Not even death. These migraines had only start occurring so recently, yet the damage feels like it been going on for years.

Mason struggled to get up. Once he managed to get his legs to work properly, he stumbled over to the mirror propped against his dresser. He looked at himself. He looked like absolute shit. Rotting in bed for days on end due to people in his head speaking to him does not look good on him at all. Mason made his way downstairs and walked into the kitchen to make something for himself.

Just as he started to pour his coffee, he sensed something was wrong.

His headache went away?

I mean, it's not like he was complaining or anything. There was something about feeling better randomly that felt off to him. What if he was dying? Relax, there's no way it's that deep. Maybe the random pills he took in a panic a few nights ago finally kicked in.

Mason looked in the cabinets for something to eat and found an old bag of Swedish fish in the back of the shelf. He took it reluctantly and made his way back upstairs, careful to not trip on the stairs. Once he made it back to his room, he was immediately struck with the aching headache feeling once again. Maybe it was something with his room?

He stepped out of the room and walked downstairs once again. He looked in his hand and noticed the snack he had originally held in his hands disappeared. It was replaced by a singular dragon fruit. Mason was confused. He slowly felt tire take control of his system once again and decided to sleep on the couch since something was clearly up with his room.

When he layed on the couch, something suddenly felt really spikey. It was probably just his sensory issues acting up, right? Wrong. When Mason rose up from the couch, he noticed his skin had little marks all over it. Somehow, the couch had turn into a miniature spike pit. Mason got up in shock, then proceeding to nearly impale his foot in the spikes that replaced the rug on the living room floor.

Mason slowly tip-toed into the kitchen. Nothing looked tampered with thankfully. Mason was trying to calm himself down from the tricks his mind was playing on him. All of a sudden, the floor transforms into a weird pink-ish portal. Mason attempts to avoid being sucked in by gripping onto the fridge door. All of his attempts fail, and he feels his consciousness slowly slipping away as he is pulled in farther and farther.

Mason wakes up in a mysterious void. His eyes fluttered open as he attempts to make out where he is. All that can be seen is just a blinding glare. This was until a figure came down from above and started speaking to Mason.

??? - "DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU ARE HERE, GRAY?"

MASON - "Huh?"

??? - "YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED BY THE GODS ABOVE TO WORK FOR US."

MASON - "The who?!"

??? - "DO YOU ACCEPT THIS OFFERING? THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES."

MASON - "Who the fuck are you?!"

??? - "PERFECT, YOUR JOB IS TO REIN OVER THESE FOUL HUMANS. BRING THEIR DECAPITATED HEADS TO ME SERVED ON A SILVER PLATTER."

MASON - "WHAT?!"

Mason was cut off by the thing forcing him into an eternal slumber.

"MASON" woke up in a random house. He explored it a bit before realizing it was the main target to lure his victims in with. He looked around the house thoroughly. He scouted out each room and noticed the labels.

These labels seemed to be identities of the victims. This should be a piece of cake. All Mason had to do was lure 4 people in and kill them. It shouldn't be that hard, right?
