Investigator Case File 001

Episode One

You just finished a case and you're heading back to your office. As you walked the silent and eerie hallways, you stopped in front of your door to find an ominous note "Your soul shall soon be mine" you scoffed. You then crumpled the paper and threw it away, shrugging it off as another prank by the kids from the complex. You open your door and locked it once you were inside. You headed to your desk and sat on your chair, as soon as you rested your head you drifted to sleep. A few hours later you woke up to a knocking sound at the door, you looked at the clock and groggily said "3AM? I wonder who it could be.." You stood up and opened the door and to your surprise there was no one. You closed it and turned the handle, you turned around to go back to your chair but was instead hit by something hard right on the head, you passed out. A few moments later you woke up to a searing pain on your forehead, as you held it you asked yourself "What..? What happened? W-was someone able to get in my office? I'm sure I locked everything before I left, I even double checked!" You tried to find a reasoning for the attack that occured. You begin to question yourself, not noticing that your surroundings have changed. A few moments later you look to see that you aren't in the office anymore, you're in the hallway again, however the lights changed from a welcoming white to a hostile red, you immediately felt something was off, you continued to walk further until you reached your office. You open the door, expecting someone to be there but instead you were greeted by a gunshot, you fell to the ground and bled, your life flashing before your eyes. You lost consciousness, you then woke up in the hallway again, this time you were sweating heavily, you begin to breathe heavily as well "D-didn't I die?! Was all of that a dream?! Why am I back here?! What the hell is happening?!" You screamed out, expecting someone to come out of their apartment, but not a single soul responded, you broke down and began to cry. A few hours later you stood up and began to walk. As you recollect the last time, you open the door from a safe angle. The gun was shot and before entering you throw your shoe to make sure there are no more traps. You enter your office and investigate, a few moments later a sound was heard from your bathroom, you pay no attention to it and grab your gun for self defense. It was 4AM, you then slowly drift to sleep, you open your eyes a few seconds later only to see your headless body and a shadowy figure standing behind you. You then found yourself holding your gun. You glance at the clock and panicked. It was 3AM "Am I in Hell?! Why does it seem like everything...reset...like...a checkpoint...What is this sick game and am I the protagonist..?" You compose yourself, trying to get a grip on your sanity. You then check the bathroom and there you found the shadow figure. It stood there with its inhuman grin and bloodshot eyes, you immediately shot it and it disappeared. You had a feeling that whatever is happening, is all related to that thing. You began to look for clues in the bathroom. You felt that you should check outside as well. You open the door carefully and see a knife fly past you. You then took an empty box and threw it out your door. As you expected, a knife hit the box. You carefully peeked out the door and walked out as soon as you felt that the coast was clear. You walk upstairs first, after a few minutes you began to wonder why there's so many flights of stairs. You jumped back when you saw a claw try and swipe at you, you shot at it and it retreated, you then continued to walk upstairs reaching a weird room with a blue light. You approached it and you felt assured, you enter the room and your breathing slowly became calmer and you could think clearer. You then sat inside the room and locked the door. You fell asleep setting a timer for 8AM.
