Y/N NEVER IMAGINED THAT
she'd have her own main character moment. But hey, here she was. Right in front of a... black Gate that no one else could see. Similar to the one newbie Jin-Woo went through in that underground station, and also the whole Igris thing with his Shadows.

If that wasn't a tell-tale sign of what was going to happen in this chapter, then who knows what might be more of a give-away than this shit.

"Yeah, yeah. Shut up."

"Can you not? For once in your goddamned undead life?"

Y/N had gotten sick of her new companion way too quickly. Her stupid dead father who died in an equally stupid way. Who the actual fuck dies from farting too hard? The 'Comedian' decided to give her an early birthday gift, complaining how it took too much power to defy fate.

She loved it, of course. She could handle a few hours with him, but now he was stuck to her ass. Twenty-four-fucking-seven. And imagine smelling a dead person's farts? That would explain why apparently haunted places always smelled like shit. Because ghosts stinked the place up.

Thing is, Y/N was being a pussy. The 'Key to Celestial Depths' sounded so corny that it was scary. Corny stuff always meant scary. She didn't exactly want to have this main character moment after all.

"That doesn't make me feel any better." Y/N frowned.

And then her ghost-of-a-father pushed her inside the black Gate. She'd have to get some salt and holy water after this.

It was kind of weird how mister 'Comedian' didn't ask anything. At all. But it was just like every other time, whenever she interracted in secret with mister stick-up-his-holy-bum aka the 'Architect'. Though, only this time, did she have proof. 'Key to the Celestial Depths'. It existed right in front of her eyes and her companions' whatever the hell they use to see. In a different font and everything, too. And suspiciously enough, he couldn't come along this time.

Only possible explanation?

The 'Comedian' knew. He just didn't want to say anything. Why? It's not like Y/N herself could ask about him freely. Her lips were glued shut for a good hour the last time she tried. The time increases every time she does. Which is so terribly cowardly!

Anyway, now that she was inside... Y/N saw the exit disappearing. Oh boy. Did she have any salt in her inventory? Holy water? Was it possible to have a portable priest or something? She didn't need distractions and smelly farts in her face right now because that someone just pushed her into death's door.
