Soul train

Run

The next day, the old man approached me, "ready for another round sonny boy"He said. I stared blankly at him.

"Not yet" I said going towards the fridge. I grabbed a water bottle and he then snapped his fingers and teleported me again. This time the weights actually said the amount that I'd left off at. I started lifting and it was a slight but bit easier than before but still hard. Also on the news the shooting appeared. The building was shut down but the police still don't know anything about the mafia part. I spent about 5 hours again in there and like before, my arms were numb. How was I supposed to keep this up. When I returned i was met by the receptionist. "A mission has been assigned to you, it is to stop a local gang of thugs". That sounded easier than raiding the mafia. The next day I set out to find them. I'd been given a gun and a mask and nothing else. I walked about the area until I reached an alleyway. Someone in there had the sign. I rushed in and tried to punch one of them. He dodged me and returned a kick into my face. My nose started bleeding so I guessed he was a vessel. "Oi, Why are you tryna punch me" he said walking towards me. I pulled out my firearm on him and told him to stay put. He ignored me and kept walking towards me. I started shooting. Somehow his body warped around it. I kept on shooting. 2 shots actually hit him. He leaned back and shouted. He threw the bullets down on the ground. Then he charged at me and started pummeling my head. I was on the brink of losing consciousness. It was then the soul train activated. The area turned white and I sat down upon a wooden chair. In front of me he sat. "So you have a God too". I ignored him and shot all of my bullets. Then we went back in the real world. "What the f**k!" he shrieked. He then collapsed and his friends ran. I carried him back to the building. Kluh carried it for me when I reached the building. I recieved money as a reward. It was then I was told by Kluh to go to floor 26. I went there to see a horde of people. Some of them turned back and saw me clutching onto my blood stained mask. They erupted into cheers. I was confused. All I did was knock one guy out. 3 people ran up to me . "congratulations on whatever you did" said the blonde guy, "by the way, I'm Ortcele".

"Hi" I said. The girl started to speak, "I'm Esor and congratulations". The last guy had a super deep voice so I barely heard what he said I only made our his name "Krad". They gave me a tour of the floor. It was the same as the other one so I already knew but I went along with it anyways. Surprisingly, I saw that bastard happy lounging around. He saw me and said, "Oh hey Decras, what are you doing here"

"Kluh sent me here". I think I knew what this was. The newbie floor. I hated this place, I'm horrible at communicating with people. As a result of my anti-social behaviour, I ran off and went back to the other floor. I begged the old man to let me clean. "Sure however, there's a condition, you have to train for 7 hours each day" he said. I pondered about wether I should accept his offer or not. I the end, I succumbed to my anti-social behaviour and gave in. He snapped and teleported me. I did as the agreement said and I lifted up the weights for 7 hours. My arms were numb and i couldn't even control them. By then it was night and I felt like taking a walk. I went outside with my speakers plugged on while listening to music. The soft breeze was calming until I saw a pair of eyes staring at me. I froze. What was that. Out of the Bush, a cat sprung into the air. It's orange fur swung back as it landed in front of me. It probably got lost or something so I picked it up and took it back. I asked the receptionist if I could keep it and she agreed. The next day, I bought some stuff for the cat and put them in my room. It was a bit odd in how it acted. It wasn't scared of anybody or anything. I thought nothing of it though and continued to manage my busy lifestyle. I'd become a slight bit more muscular and my stamina increased. I could now hold out for 3 hours without difficulty. The old guy also edited the room a bit and added other exercises such as a treadmill and a punching bag. However, the biggest thing that happened was that the guy I'd shot and brought back was healed. Not only that, he was added to the organisation. His name was Ome. He understandably hated me. As soon as he was added, he wanted to fight me. Apparently he was forced to join or else he'd have been killed. I kinda felt sorry for the guy. He shared the cleaning with me and he hated everyone around him. And so, 2 weeks went by like this. After this time period, I became a bit stronger and because of that I got sent on another mission. It was at a village near the countryside. There had been multiple sightings of a pack of creatures. Along with me, they sent Ortcele and Ome. We had to kill the demons in the village. We reached the place and were greeted by a skinny old man. His bones protruded from his rough skin and he trembled when he spoke."Hello, I-I'm guessing that you were sent here to kill these demons". he said with a sad look on his face. I assumed that their food source was also killed by the demons. The man was the village leader and gave us a small house to camp out. At night, we went investigating. The douchbag Ortecle acted like he was cool the whole time because he used his electricity to make a light. I could see Ome trying his hardest to not kill the guy. We found a couple of footprints which led to a field. The crops were destroyed and it comfirmed my idea. The footprints weren't that big but were in mass amounts. It looked like a dog's foot prints. Suddenly I froze. I remembered about the test where I fought the dog creature. I barely came out alive after one but this was a pack. The two others looked like they didn't care about it and so we went back home. The next day we told the village leader about our findings.

"Yes correct that's what the villagers have been reporting" he said seemingly surprised. That day, a team of villagers were sent to scout out the demons. At 7pm, they returned empty handed. At night, another crew was dispatched. We were also sent to manage each group. Suddenly, we heard a low pitched bark. Around the corner we met with Ortcele's group and in front of us the pack came. They started barking madly. Some of the villagers got scared and some drew knives and other weapons such as axes. The hounds charged at us and leapt above the dead grass. Their shadows covered us as some villagers lost their faith and sprung away from the bloodbath. I drew my gun and shot the enhanced bullets. One of the hounds fell down. My aim improved since I'd been practising that too. The dead creature was surrounded by it's blood as the other ones continued to charge at us. The villagers pierced through many of them and I continued shooting. Many more fell dead. Their numbers were starting to dwindle and some of them ran. It was then, one emerged from the croud of creatures. It's white fur illuminated the night. It stared deep into every souls eyes with it's piercing glare. You could tell it's danger by the aura surrounding it. A few villagers fell back and ran. I trembled but suprisingly Ortcele sent a dart of electricity towards the creature. It dug deep into it's flesh but it quickly regenerated. It growled at us. I fired a shot at the beast. The bullet bounced off as it started to leaped forwards. It's jaws opened wide as it prepared to bite my head off. I dashed back and barely dodged the fierce attack. I fired 2 more shots to no avail. I reloaded my gun and shot 6 more bullets. At this point I was begging to lose faith. Suddenly, I was on a chair again. The beast laid in front of me. It was the soul train. I fired off all of my shots then returned to reality. The creature shrieked in pain as blood shot out of it's wounds. It let out a last shriek and then ran deep inside the dark woods.

It was then that I started bleeding from my forehead. I wondered how. it only attacked me once and why me only. Was it because of the soul train god. Whatever it was, we retreated back into our hut and slept after I treated my wound. The next day we called for backup. At noon they arrived in helicopters. Many soldiers armed with firearms came out of the fleet. I could only watch on in amazement. I knew the organisation was rich but this rich. When the white orb shone brightly upon the village, they set out. We went along with them to describe how the monsters looked like. We spotted a herd of the hyenas and opened fire. They'd given me a better gun so I didn't have to reload for a while. Many dropped dead onto the deceased grass and the others ran on the blood of their brethren. We ploughed through them until none remained. Now we started to try to find the red eyed creature. Suddenly from behind me, I heard a growl. For some reason no one else heard it. I spun my head around and saw the beast. I missed a beat and was drowned in fear. I shouted that the beast was behind us but no one else saw it. They told me not to do that so I ran to the front. The creature leaped over the troops and followed me. As it reached me it slowly warped inside me. What the f**k was that. Was I going crazy. Suddenly, in front of me a huge beast sat. It was the white furred, red eyes beast. f**k what did I do to deserve this. It marched forwards towards me. Tears flowed down from my eyes. Sweat glands fell as it proceeded to take a second step. I twisted over to the other side. What the f**k was wrong with everyone. Why was I the only one who could see it. I continued to sprint away from the nightmare. I couldn't think of anything that explained this. All I could do was run.
