Chapter 4

Upon looking at the sphere closer, I could tell it was glowing brightly. This is useful. I roll it back on the ground like a toddler failing to roll a bowling ball. I've seen that Wallter didn't get damaged. It could also mean that neither do any of the NPC's get damaged?

The elevator door opens. The first thing I saw was the yellow wallpaper, patterned. Looking down I saw a carpet-like floor. I step out of the elevator, only for my eyes to just slightly get damaged by the dimly lit lights on several of the hallways in this maze-like floor.

But did I care about that?

No. Honestly the second I saw just one credit placed conveniently on the right side, I dived into it. I collected it, putting it in my digital wallet. Looking up from my wallet I see a trail of these credits. I felt my eyes cartoonishly light up.

I ran around collecting all the credits I could find. The milisecond I saw a white credit in the corner of my eye, I'd basically teleport to it. I was money hungry, which I had no trouble admitting to. Whilst continuously grabbing each credit upon sight, I felt a presence behind me. So NPC's can leave elevators?

...Laughter. No, it's not Split's or Wallter's. Not that dying from laughter cause of weird fruit jokes I knew all too well. It was more of a disturbing, millions of laughing people overlapped into one audio cue. I could already feel a chill running down my spine. This was worse than when I met my doppelgänger. "Beekirigiri..?" Was at least less intense.

I wanted to look back, but i was frozen in place. Paralyzed, if you will. Eventually I got the courage to slowly look back..it was a face. A disturbing, messed up, cutout face features all over the face. Then it was the only trail I didn't want. The only path that wasn't filled with credits.

It was filled with piles of ink, between me and my whatever the hell that creature is. I just stare in shock.

*ZOOM*

It was rushing towards me. I got out of the way last second. I look back, seeing how horrifying it really got. I just ran. Continuously, in one, straight line.

*ZOOM*

Maybe running in a straight line doesn't work, cause I instantly fell onto the floor. It was a miracle I rolled out of the way. I backed away, wanting to run more. Continuously. Until my legs were too heavy for my own body.

*ZOOM*

I could already feel my consciousness fading for every laughing noise piled onto another. I couldn't go on like thi-

*ZOOM*

I die. Once I closed my eyes, my eyelids now show something new.

You right now: 💀

I look at it disapprovingly. Seriously? Even when I die it turns into some joke? This game needs to grow up.

I opened my eyes, now spawning in the lobby. I walk towards the elevator again. I wait for the elevator door to close and teleport me back to the elevator box where all of the NPC's are.

I blink, suddenly teleporting back to the same elevator as Wallter, Split, and Fake Beekirigiri. They all look at me. Wallter in concern, Split in shock, and Fake Beekirigiri was just blankly staring like she always does.

Wallter walks over to me and crouches down. "A-are you alright-?!" His voice made it obvious that he thought something was horribly injured. Well, I probably was.

"Ugh, I'm fine.." I roll my eyes. "You worry a lot, don't you?"

"Who wouldn't worry?! You died!" He examined all the probable injuries around me. Seeing none, he gasped in relief, holding his hand on his upper torso. "Good, your okay..what happened??"

"I don't know. But hey, I didn't lose my money~!" I grab my wallet, opening it elegantly, showing all the credits I got. "Nor your ego, I guess..." Wallter says under his breath. I just glare at him. The audacity of this man, given he's an NPC..

"But anyway, how'd you even find out I died so fast?"

"Some voice spoke up and said 'beekirigiri found out she's not alone'..it got me so worried!"

Then, Split spoke up. "...When it said that..I was peeling so scared.." Split covers her mouth to stop themselves from laughing. It didn't work. Split starts laughing like crazy, and Wallter...does the same.

I let out a long, long sigh, which then turns into a loud groan, which turns stressed. I subconsciously face palm. "It is not that funny. For the love of god, it is never that funny." Me eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. Heavy annoyance.

"But it is.." Split says, in a very heartbreaking tone. It sounded so..sad. My expression softened slightly, before I sigh again in defeat.

"A friend of mine told me apples were yellow and I said..that's bananas!" This was my best attempt at trying to cheer her up. She laughed continuously, so did Wallter, and so did Fake Beekirigiri. I smile softly. So i guess the only way I won't feel lonely is if i make all these fruit jokes.

The elevator door opened. Before I could even leave, Wallter grabbed my hand, like I was in a hurry. I look at Wallter in perplexity. "Wait, don't go! I don't want you to die again.."

"Oh relax, this is literally a-"

"WELCOME! PLEASE STEP ON THE CORRESPONDING NUMBER WHEN PROMPTED." A loud voice rang outside the elevator, interrupting my sentence. Startled, I look outside the elevator box, finding a disco floor.

"Guess it's party time." I shrug whilst closing my eyes. I walk on the dance floor. I look at the screen. Welcome dancers, please step on the corresponding number when prompted..this sounds fun.

"STAND ON..
WHITE!"

Basic. The screen shows WHITE / 8 On one of the tiles, I can see both the color white and the number eight. The rest of the tiles are mostly red, yellow and purple an
d the only white ones are too far from reach. I run and jump on one of the tiles stylishly. Now, all I had to do was just listen to the music!
...
...
...
The other color tiles disappeared, the music stopped other then the announced color tiles. I look down, and see several slopes leading to a meat grinder.

Will I die again? No. I can't. I can't be that bad at the game.

The only thing I could hear was the meat grinder making metal noises whilst there was an ominous sound emitting from thin air. I wasn't scared, not after I find out what happens when I die. I just respawn.

After waiting for a few seconds, the music comes back and the tiles all reset back to normal.

"STAND ON...
BLUE!"

It's showing BLUE / 5 on the screen. I jump on it as fast as I can, but it switches to another color. It keeps switching, until I find the color blue. I jump on top of it just in time, the second I jump the tiles that aren't blue disappear.
This goes on for a while.
