The Possession Killer Arc: Phobia Virus

"Okay, Nathan, I think you've done enough now. Please get me out of this mess, man." Zack begged. He was wrapped around by chains, unable to move his arms and legs. He hung upside down from the ceiling as I looked around the room and took notice of what I had done.

Once a clean white room had turned into a jungle of chains. There were chain-links hanging from the ceiling, somewhere across the wall and others on the floor. All of these chains came in different sizes as well. Some were enough to hold a boat at bay and others could be worn around your neck as a necklace.

It turned out to be a mess like Zack had mentioned.

"Okay then, I'll stop for no-"

"No need," I felt a pat on my shoulder to see Zack right beside me. I gasped as I looked back up to see other Zack still hanging from the chains. There were two of them. Zack chuckled at my expression, "I allowed you to have fun with my illusionary clone while I took a short nap."

The clone Zack that was wrapped around chains disappeared into particles as the real Zack stretched his muscles. I snap my fingers as all the chains either disappear into dust or get sucked back into my palm. After using it against the illusion Zack and testing other methods, the Jailbreaker ability started becoming more of a natural part of me. As if it's an another limb in my body, I could use it without trying to focus so hard.

"Let's just go back to teaching you about the world and laws instead of using me as a guinea pig for your abilities," Zack suggested.

I was feeling the mood to learn more about my world so I took the offer, "Kay then, what should I learn now?"

Zack stood rubbing his chin, humming for a decision until he pulled out his tablet and checked for some ideas.

"How about we start with the Phobia Virus."

"The what?" I questioned.

Anna couldn't feel her legs yet they trembled uncontrollably, death was staring directly into her eyes. No longer could Anna see her own mother, but something else that hid behind her, an unknown entity. A creature was looming over her mother, like a shadow. It looked like it would grab her mother and rip her into two with its long, sharp, claws.

This entity showed a wide smile, something that Anna couldn't expect to see from such a hideous and terrifying creature. The creature whispered in a deep, growling voice.
