"Attention! A murder has happened on the premises of our asylum. Please do not panic. Within 12 hours we will be able to contact the authorities and sort this out."
I woke up after hearing the broadcast. Well, that and hearing a girl voice giggle nearby. When I've heard yelling outside, I quickly got up and dressed. I wanted to put my ear to the door to hear more, but the door slightly opened. It apparently got unlocked. What I have seen were a boy and a girl. The boy had black hair and a relatively slim build, while the girl had lime green hair and was rather petite for a girl of her age. Both seemed to be around 13-14 years old. "Come on, this is our chance to escape!" - yelled the boy, as the girl was crying.
- "Why is she crying?" - I asked. It started raining loudly outside.
- "It's because she doesn't want to leave. She's scared of the murderer, and I think we should book this place!"
"Come on, you'll be fine. We're all here for a reason, why should we be afraid of someone fellow to us?" - I ask the girl.
"Well, she doesn't want to die is the thing. She has a horrible case of PTSD from what I heard from the doctors. I got sent here for incessant violence."
"Come on, I promise you won't die." - I say to the girl. I bring my hand closer, wanting to help her get up. She looked up at me and slowly started backing away. "Ohh... okay..." I sighed. "Did anyone see the corpse yet?"
The boy shook his head - "No, I don't believe so.I ran off when I saw this crazy girl running around laughing near the back entrance."
- "I heard the same near my room, it probably got unlocked by her as well... Think she could be the killer?" - I asked.
- "Yeah, I do. I didn't see a weapon on her though..."
- "She could've drop it. I think that if we want to get out the first thing we should do is find some weapons."
- "Okay, I'll trust you for now. My name is Micheal, the girl is Moriko. What's your name?"
- "Dio."
- "Alright, that's set. What do we do with Moriko though?"
I looked over to Moriko, kneeling down. "If anyone tries to attack you, I'll protect you. I promise." - I said, smiling.
She looked up at me, and thought for a few seconds before nodding in agreement, she didn't say anything though.
"Come on, let's go. We have to run away, don't we?"
As I said that, I've heard laughter that belonged to a girl's voice.
"Shit... what do we do?"
Micheal looked at me. "Run."
- "Which way?"
Micheal pointed to the right. "That way!"
I get Moriko up. "Come on, we must run!"
After running for some time the laughter went on further and further away from us.
"Where do we go now?"
Micheal looked around and spotted an open door with a key hanging around the knob. "Over there!"
We all dashed towards the door. I grabbed the key and locked the door after we all went inside.
As we've entered the room, we noticed that the room is most likely the kitchen. There are large knives and cleavers everywhere, and a small pile of blood was on the floor indicating that a fight happened here. Moriko started freaking out a little at the sight of the blood whispering "Not again... not again..." over and over.
"Hey! It's okay, it's okay right now. Nothing will happen to you." She looked at me and started hugging my arm, while still whispering to herself. Micheal grabbed one of the cleavers and started swinging it, testing it's capability as a usable weapon.
"Grab two more. By the way, now what?" Micheal did what I asked for. As he did it, we heard a scream and a thud outside, as a small river of blood started to flow into the room.
"Oooh, what do we have here!" - we've heard outside the door, as the person started to hit the door with a knife. BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! Suddenly, it stopped, and the person most likely walked away.
I was still silent for a minute, in case the person would come back. All of a sudden, over the intercom...
"Hello? Does this thing work? Oh good, it does. Uhh, I found out who the killer is. She is... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -STATIC-"
"What the hell is going on in here... Did everyone just start murdering...?" - asked Micheal.
"Don't ask me..."
Moriko now hugged my arm even tighter. POUND! All of a sudden someone pounded on it, and a male voice came up. "Help, please let me in, I'm the janitor!"
This time I looked through the keyhole. The man was probably in his early twenties. He wore janitor garbs. He appears to be armed with a taser and slightly bled from a cut on his arm. His eyes have a deep blue color. I opened the door.
The janitor rushed in and fell to his knees, holding the cut on his arm, yelling - "Close and lock it, quick!" - I did what he requested.
He started to take heavy breaths and calm down. "They've gone insane out there, they're just randomly murdering each other... It's like a demon took over! I saw a green-haired girl take down our youngest patient when she was using the intercom... Then she saw me and attempted to kill me."
"...what? So there isn't just one killer?!"
He held his arm closer and turned my head towards me. "Yeah, I saw a girl walking around with red and black eyes, another was taking an axe to the staff lounge furniture. It's like everyone lost what little sanity they had left!"
- "Wait, do you have a way to open the main doors? We could try to escape.
- "Sadly no. I was hired 2 weeks ago, so they don't trust me with a copy of the door key yet. That's why I'm stuck here, most of the other staff just ran away when the announcement was made. A few of the poor newcomers got stuck in here though, including me."
- "In that case where are the original keys?"
He thinks for a few moments. "They would be in the safe... It's behind the back office."
"Alright, we have a new destination. Grab a cleaver and we can move."
He does what I requested. "Alright, just be ready for anything... I bet one of the inmates broke into the guard storage by now."
"We'll have to hope they didn't."
"By the way, my name's Luc."
"I'm Dio. The boy is Micheal and the girl is Moriko."
We walked to the guard room, but on the way there we found a corpse. I examined it. There was only one wound, and it were bite marks on the neck. The corpse itself is a girl that seems to be 14 years old.
"...there are teeth marks on the neck?"
Luc bent down to examine. "Yeah, I'm afraid so..."
I sighed and shook my head. "Let's keep moving."
He nods his head. "Yeah, as fast as we can. We don't want to meet whoever did this."
We move towards the guard room. Nothing else disturbs our pace, but as we enter the room, the lights suddenly come on, and the intercom blazes - "Uhh... Hello, I would like to make the announcement that from what I've seen, the current death total is about 45--" - the announcement is cut off by the power going out again.
- "...45."
- "Yeah, harsh..." I heard Moriko whimper silently.
- "Let's just find the key and get out of here."
Luc tried to open the door, but it opened just by pushing it. "It seems that someone already broke in."
"...what?"
"The lock has been broken off. See?" - he points to the part of the door frame attached to the wall where it closes, the lock is broken in two halfs. One stuck in the door, the other in the frame. I quickly checked for any keys. Luckily, most of the keys seemed to be there, including two for the main door.
"Alright, the keys are still there." I took both of the keys, and gave one to Moriko.
"Okay, let's all mo--"
"Ooh, hello there! How are you all doing~?"
I quickly turned around to see some girl. She wore a lowcut red corset with a frilled black trim, paired with a black ruffled mini-skirt with a white belt standing in front of the door. There was blood around the girl's mouth.
As she turned to me, I think that for a second there she ... blushed? She then proceeded to laugh and started walking towards the group, until she stood in front of me. She reached up and started to touch my face, then turn around and walk away a little, proceeding to laugh again.
I froze in surprise and shock. She then proceeded to laugh and spin around as she pointed towards Luc, who recoiled.
"Hellooo? Are you gonna talk or something~? I mean, I know I'm startling~"
"Wh... wha..."
Luc readied his billhook, as the girl turned towards him. "Awwww~ You're gonna attack?"
Luc has rushed into the girl. However, she swiftly dodged his attack, afterwards catching and twisting his arm forcing him to the ground.
As she looked down at him, she laughed, then opened her mouth. She seemed to have really sharp fangs. She bit the janitor in the neck, and after a few seconds Luc dropped to the floor. "Mmmm~ So tasty~!" - she said while licking her lips.
"Would you like to be next? Or how about you? Oooor, maybe the girl~?" - she pointed at each one of us.
She looked disappointed in responce to the quietness. "Aww... you guys aren't any fun..." - she moved to Micheal, grabbed his arm and very slowly proceeded to lower towards his arm to bite him. She lowered ridiculously slow, as if she wanted to enjoy all the shock, or maybe to knock sense into me. She succeeded.
"S... s... STOP IT!" - I pushed the girl away from Micheal.
She looked at me. "Ohh~ I see, teehee~" she slowly started to move towards me, as I backed away and pulled out a cleaver. She started to think hard, as she decided to pull out a small knife and charge at me to knock the cleaver out of my hand. I attempted and succeeded at parrying, as her weapon landed on the other end of the room. She immediately proceeded to flee out of the door as fast as she can.
I tried to stop her, but she disappeared.
"SHIT!" - I kneel down near the janitor's corpse, face still shocked. "Guys...? What the fuck just happened...?"
After a few seconds of silence, Micheal said - "Maybe she was a vampire..."
- "...well, I think it's easy to figure out."
- "...we have to move on to the exit."
I sighed. "The worst thing is, that girl must've plan an ambush on us already."
- "Yeah, let's try and take it safe and slow."
We move out towards the front lobby, as quiet as possible, when a man comes walking down the hallway. He's walking with a limp and has a bloody cleaver in his hand. He also has black eyes with red pupils.
"Crap... get ready!" - I request from my allies.
The man does the same as well, as he charged towards me. I did the same.
As he attempted to slash me, I dodged and kicked the weapon out of his hand, as he backed away. I moved towards him, as I said the thing that probably made me realize why am I in this asylum. "Most likely that girl used mind control on you, forcing you to kill. If there's any part of your mind from before that - don't worry. You won't have to kill anymore, as I shall release you from this body." - ...why the hell did I say that? Whatever, I decapitated him in one swift swing. "44..."
We continue to walk down the hallway. Nothing else happened for the rest of our walk.
As we arrived in the lobby, we were greeted by what we have expected. What else, an ambush. 5 converted patients, two females and 3 males. At the back of the room was the girl from before. She smirked at me as I walked into the room.
"Guys, I think your prey has arrived. You may do with them whatever you want, as long as you leave them barely alive~"
The girl to the left of the center of the group said "Hahaha, I guess it's time for you to die, it's too bad... You look so young and vibrant~"
As if that was a switch, I immediately snapped. I laughed insanely. "Look at that, our very own Saragarhi! Now... COME AT ME IF YOU WANNA BE THE SECOND TO TASTE THIS WEAPON!" - I enter the battle stance, waiting for the first poor bastard.
I didn't have to wait long. Two of them attacked me at the same time, one with an axe and one with a cleaver. I jumped back from their wings and hit the first enemy with my cleaver, narrowly missing the neck. The second is not as fortunare, and has his head halfway chopped off by my swing. Nobody wanted to attacked, so I've spun my cleaver taunting. "Come on! Where did your spirit go?! Your master permissioned you to mess me up however you want, and here I am, still standing!"
Finally, two people attack me again.
I deflect the first one's attack and stab him in the neck. I dash towards the second and decapitate him in one smooth swing. Is one of the people aiming at me with a gun? A gun in a melee fight, how despicable! I jump at him, twisting his arm the way that the gun now points at him. "Go on, shoot" - he listened. Good for him.
The last two started to charge, one slashing an axe - she only got a small blow on my arm. The second proceeds to charge at me.
"Axe? Come on, that's way too slow!" I immediately stab the one that's charging, and lift her together with the cleaver. I spin around, while the momentum from the cleaver cuts her neck more. Right before my cleaver pointed at the other person, I cut the other way, decapitating the one charging, and launching the corpse at the second survivor, knocking her down. I stomp at her with my shoe, as with a slowly born grin on my face I increase the force, increasing the pain. Finally, I raise my cleaver and decapitate, just like how an executioner decapitates a villager punished for heresy.
The girl has finally moved forward sighing heavily. "I guess if you need something done, you have to do it yourself..."
"Well said, well said! Now, show me what you've go--"
Before I finished, she dashed at me and grabbed me. I prepared for pushing her head away to prevent getting bitten, but she did something I did not expect. She aimed for my lips and kissed me teasingly. "Kuh..."
What the hell... was that a charm spell or something? I don't really feel obedient to her, but I think it worked as the switch again.
She pulled out a knife and charged at me laughing.
"Eh, what's... Crap!" - surprised, I was only able to dodge. Unsuccesfully. She stepped forward grabbing me. She then threw me to the ground and stomped on my stomach hard. "Hehe~ Not so strong now, are you~?" - she then bent down to attempt and bite my neck.
Is this the end? I'm gonna let myself get bitten like that? Hold on, let's think through this... Positives of that: She's beautiful, my trance would be satisfied by her side. Negatives of that: Sooner or later she'd force me to kill the two, I would be forced to commit massacres that happened he-- Wait, why the fuck am I even considering letting myself get bitten?! It's probably that god damn kiss... So it WAS a charm spell. I won't let myself commit any of the massacres that happened here! I FUCKING WON'T!
I dodged the bite by tilting my head. Right before her another try, I've quickly looked over to look for the other two. A small head poked out from behind the door for a second before darting back. That counts out getting any help.
Right as she tried to bite me again, I managed to kick her away from me, as I quickly got up.
She got up as well, charging at me again, mad and going for the kill. I dodge each of her slashes.
With each slash that failed to hit, I could see more and more frustration within her eyes.
"Come on dude, run!" I heard from Micheal. Just as he shouted that, the girl stopped attacking. She started laughing snidely as she rushed at Micheal, stabbing him in the stomach and sending him to the ground. She'll kill them both at this point! I kicked the girl away from Micheal. "Are you gonna be alright?"
"Ugh... Maybe, I don't know..."
I can't let them die! But she's just gonna torture them sooner or later.
...there's only one way I can think of to stop her. Perhaps it's because of that darn spell, but...
I look at the murderer girl. "Oi."
She turns around looking at me. "Yes~?"
- "...let's make a deal."
- "I'm listening~"
- "Don't do it!" - I hear from Micheal. However, I ignore it.
- "If you let them go..."
- "Yes~? What will you do~?"
Just as I was about to speak, I started shivering. I was not expecting to get so stressed about it. However, I'd rather do that, than let more people die. With the final sigh, I said it. "I will be yours. You will be able to do whatever your heart desires to do with me, and I will not fight back."
She thought for a moment before speaking - "I do need a new minion, so I guess I'll take you up on your offer~"
"...go."
The two run off down the hallway. The girl walks towards me, and thinks for a while. "Buut... I don't think it would be too fun for me to just take you as a minion, soo... How about I fight you~? If you win you can go free, but if I win, I will suck your body dry of blood~!"
"Well, if you want that... sure."
As I finished the last word, she charged at me with a knife with a cute smile on her face. I succesfully parried my attack and attempted to counter. Despite my best efforts, she managed to dodge every attack. She responded with a flurry of knife slashes at me, but I blocked them.
The fight seems to be equal so far, and neither of us could get a hit on each other.
Her stabs. My dodge and leg sweep. Her dodge and leg sweep. My dodge.
It is a festival of counters, back and forth, like the flow and EBB of the tide to the gravity of the moon.
However as I attempted to slash her, she grabbed my arm and sweeped me to the floor. She slowly pulls me up and attempts to bite me like that, trying to end this fight once and for all.
I pushed her head backwards, and proceeded to perform a suplex on her. She finally seemed to be stunned, signalizing that I should run away. I dashed for the exit, however just as I touched the handle, I realized something. Where am I gonna run away to? What will I do? And if the police finds me... They will probably know about the 11 people, they'll just kill me...
I've proceeded to close the door, lock it, and slide the key along the floor towards the girl, as I've said something. I'm not even sure was it the charm spell that did it. Perhaps it were my actual thoughts.
"You really got angry, didn't you? I respect you. I'll be honest, no matter what would the outcome be, I'd still let you do it. A deal is a deal, after all." I moved towards her.
[[OKAY, IT'S TIME FOR AN UPDATE. Any time there's a video showed up, play it immediately. If another video is shown and the first one is still there, pause the first and go for the next one.]]
"And I'll be even more honest. I've noticed that you're beautiful, I also like your personality. And well, if I'd have to serve someone until my death..." I get the girl up. "...it would probably be you." I've closed her in towards me, hugged her and flexed my neck to make it easier for her. "Come on."
She looks confused at me for a while. "Ooh..."
She finally proceeds to bite me. As she sink my teeth into me and bein to drain my very life from my body, I felt an oddly weird sensation. I don't think there was a time I felt more alive than this. Perhaps this isn't death, but something greater... After a while, I fall unconcious. I do not resist the Death herself.
...
...
...
After a while, I wake up in a corner of a room, it is most likely not the asylum. Micheal and Moriko are over me... with a pale skin, and black eyes with red pupils.
- "Wha... Where are we...? And why do you look like the girl...?"
- "Sorry, Luc got us... He ambushed us and bite me, but I still managed to kill him..." - said Micheal.
- "...then you died, rose, and bit the girl... if I would only do something to stop him from rising, then you would be able to escape..."
- "Yeah, I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough..."
- "It's okay, it's not your fault..." As I slowly got up, I looked into a mirror.
...just as I expected. Pale skin. Black eyes. Red pupils. It looks startling, but refreshing at the same time...
Micheal left the room for a second and came back with a glass full of red substance in it and gave it to me. As I look at it, I freeze. It doesn't take alot of knowledge to know what is that substance...
"You need it to live now, I'm sorry..." - as Micheal said that...
"Ooooh, hello~ I see that you're up~" - said Otoko. Yeah, somehow I know her name now. She walked up to me and looked at the glass. "Are you gonna drink that?"
I looked down at the glass. Need it to survive, huh... After a sigh, I put up the glass closer to my mouth, drinking it.
It tasted wonderful, I never expected that the blood of another human could taste like this... It was something like pure bliss.
Otoko walked up to a couch and sat down. "What do you think of your new look, is it everything you imagined it to be?" - she asked.
- "I think so..."
- "That's good. Anyways, I forgot to tell you this, but you're a Jinrou. I see it in your eyes."
- "Jinrou...?"
- "Yeah. One of us, but slighty better. You can go out into the sun light and survive off human food longer than we can."
- That's... good, I guess."
- "Hahah, you act like you don't know what you are~ You are a Shiki, or a vampire, or whatever you want to call us... Your job is to turn more humans into us. By the way, you sound sad. Why?"
- "I don't know..."
- "Hmmm... Anyway, get used to this place, it's your new home. Oh, and just to let you know... Nobody else made it out of the asylum. The cops killed all the survivors for man slaughter..."
- "...I understand." I start thinking about the current situation. What now? I'll have to slaughter just like her...? Will I cause a massacre just like that...? Something started ticking inside me, like a gear that does it's final turns before breaking. My humanity...? Remains of my sanity...?
...
...h
... ha... hahahah...
........GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA~! Who cares about humanity?! Who cares about sanity?! Why would I think about that? I'm a fucking Shiki now! There is no such thing now! What counts is survival! Kill someone for blood? Whatever! Cause a massacre for more blood? Whatever! Just remember what you said to her! You said you'll serve her, so do that, and survive~!
I finally speak up, sounding much, much happier. "I understand now, I will have to kill and survive. And... I'm... PERFECTLY FINE WITH THAT~! Now... what are your orders~?"
Otoko laughed, and started sounding much happier as well: "I order you to go and show the city what you're made for, for two days~!"
"Yes, my master! GYAHAHA~!" I immediately run out the building with a grin on my face. This will be REALLY fun.
Micheal walked over to Moriko and put a hand on her shoulder. "I guess we have to do the same, even if we don't want to..."
Moriko nodded in agreement. "Ooooh... I guess you guys do. But, I just wanna see what he's capable of~" - said Otoko.
-the camera slowly goes up towards the full moon, slowly zooms in until it blacks out-
The round has now ended!
Let's play a game. After I finish the remake, I will ask a couple questions, that will most likely be to pinpoint the part I talk about, Winner gets into "Hall of Fame", because everyone wants that, right?
Please remember, that you still can join the sessions. It would be appreciated, as we are planning to write a sequel to this, and the more players, the better! You can join by either PMing me your Skype username, or adding randomguypl over, well, Skype. You will be added into the group as soon as possible.
Questions
1. Which part do you believe is evidence for my reasoning to why I never joined any PH rounds?
2. Which part do you believe I not only did not see coming, but I also praise the GM for?
3. Which part do you think I think is the one I did the worst at?
(These ones are just for curiosity's sake)
4. Do you think it would be better with voice acting?
5. What should be corrected?
6. What is your favourite part?
7. What is your most disliked part?
8. If I got someone to draw specific scenes (you know, like CGs in a visual novel), which ones would you like to see the most? (personally I would be interested in the "seeing Micheal and Moriko after rising", "looking in the mirror" and probably "running out with a grin".)
I woke up after hearing the broadcast. Well, that and hearing a girl voice giggle nearby. When I've heard yelling outside, I quickly got up and dressed.

"Come on, let's go. We have to run away, don't we?"
As I said that, I've heard laughter that belonged to a girl's voice.
"Shit... what do we do?"
Micheal looked at me. "Run."
- "Which way?"
Micheal pointed to the right. "That way!"
I get Moriko up. "Come on, we must run!"
After running for some time the laughter went on further and further away from us.
"Where do we go now?"
Micheal looked around and spotted an open door with a key hanging around the knob. "Over there!"
We all dashed towards the door. I grabbed the key and locked the door after we all went inside.
As we've entered the room, we noticed that the room is most likely the kitchen. There are large knives and cleavers everywhere, and a small pile of blood was on the floor indicating that a fight happened here. Moriko started freaking out a little at the sight of the blood whispering "Not again... not again..." over and over.
"Hey! It's okay, it's okay right now. Nothing will happen to you." She looked at me and started hugging my arm, while still whispering to herself. Micheal grabbed one of the cleavers and started swinging it, testing it's capability as a usable weapon.
"Grab two more. By the way, now what?" Micheal did what I asked for. As he did it, we heard a scream and a thud outside, as a small river of blood started to flow into the room.
"Oooh, what do we have here!" - we've heard outside the door, as the person started to hit the door with a knife. BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! Suddenly, it stopped, and the person most likely walked away.
I was still silent for a minute, in case the person would come back. All of a sudden, over the intercom...
"Hello? Does this thing work? Oh good, it does. Uhh, I found out who the killer is. She is... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -STATIC-"
"What the hell is going on in here... Did everyone just start murdering...?" - asked Micheal.
"Don't ask me..."
Moriko now hugged my arm even tighter. POUND! All of a sudden someone pounded on it, and a male voice came up. "Help, please let me in, I'm the janitor!"
This time I looked through the keyhole. The man was probably in his early twenties. He wore janitor garbs. He appears to be armed with a taser and slightly bled from a cut on his arm. His eyes have a deep blue color. I opened the door.
The janitor rushed in and fell to his knees, holding the cut on his arm, yelling - "Close and lock it, quick!" - I did what he requested.
He started to take heavy breaths and calm down. "They've gone insane out there, they're just randomly murdering each other... It's like a demon took over! I saw a green-haired girl take down our youngest patient when she was using the intercom... Then she saw me and attempted to kill me."
"...what? So there isn't just one killer?!"
He held his arm closer and turned my head towards me. "Yeah, I saw a girl walking around with red and black eyes, another was taking an axe to the staff lounge furniture. It's like everyone lost what little sanity they had left!"
- "Wait, do you have a way to open the main doors? We could try to escape.
- "Sadly no. I was hired 2 weeks ago, so they don't trust me with a copy of the door key yet. That's why I'm stuck here, most of the other staff just ran away when the announcement was made. A few of the poor newcomers got stuck in here though, including me."
- "In that case where are the original keys?"
He thinks for a few moments. "They would be in the safe... It's behind the back office."
"Alright, we have a new destination. Grab a cleaver and we can move."
He does what I requested. "Alright, just be ready for anything... I bet one of the inmates broke into the guard storage by now."
"We'll have to hope they didn't."
"By the way, my name's Luc."
"I'm Dio. The boy is Micheal and the girl is Moriko."
We walked to the guard room, but on the way there we found a corpse. I examined it. There was only one wound, and it were bite marks on the neck. The corpse itself is a girl that seems to be 14 years old.
"...there are teeth marks on the neck?"
Luc bent down to examine. "Yeah, I'm afraid so..."
I sighed and shook my head. "Let's keep moving."
He nods his head. "Yeah, as fast as we can. We don't want to meet whoever did this."
We move towards the guard room. Nothing else disturbs our pace, but as we enter the room, the lights suddenly come on, and the intercom blazes - "Uhh... Hello, I would like to make the announcement that from what I've seen, the current death total is about 45--" - the announcement is cut off by the power going out again.
- "...45."
- "Yeah, harsh..." I heard Moriko whimper silently.
- "Let's just find the key and get out of here."
Luc tried to open the door, but it opened just by pushing it. "It seems that someone already broke in."
"...what?"
"The lock has been broken off. See?" - he points to the part of the door frame attached to the wall where it closes, the lock is broken in two halfs. One stuck in the door, the other in the frame. I quickly checked for any keys. Luckily, most of the keys seemed to be there, including two for the main door.
"Alright, the keys are still there." I took both of the keys, and gave one to Moriko.
"Okay, let's all mo--"
"Ooh, hello there! How are you all doing~?"
I quickly turned around to see some girl. She wore a lowcut red corset with a frilled black trim, paired with a black ruffled mini-skirt with a white belt standing in front of the door. There was blood around the girl's mouth.
As she turned to me, I think that for a second there she ... blushed? She then proceeded to laugh and started walking towards the group, until she stood in front of me. She reached up and started to touch my face, then turn around and walk away a little, proceeding to laugh again.
I froze in surprise and shock. She then proceeded to laugh and spin around as she pointed towards Luc, who recoiled.
"Hellooo? Are you gonna talk or something~? I mean, I know I'm startling~"
"Wh... wha..."
Luc readied his billhook, as the girl turned towards him. "Awwww~ You're gonna attack?"
Luc has rushed into the girl. However, she swiftly dodged his attack, afterwards catching and twisting his arm forcing him to the ground.
As she looked down at him, she laughed, then opened her mouth. She seemed to have really sharp fangs. She bit the janitor in the neck, and after a few seconds Luc dropped to the floor. "Mmmm~ So tasty~!" - she said while licking her lips.
"Would you like to be next? Or how about you? Oooor, maybe the girl~?" - she pointed at each one of us.
She looked disappointed in responce to the quietness. "Aww... you guys aren't any fun..." - she moved to Micheal, grabbed his arm and very slowly proceeded to lower towards his arm to bite him. She lowered ridiculously slow, as if she wanted to enjoy all the shock, or maybe to knock sense into me. She succeeded.
"S... s... STOP IT!" - I pushed the girl away from Micheal.
She looked at me. "Ohh~ I see, teehee~" she slowly started to move towards me, as I backed away and pulled out a cleaver. She started to think hard, as she decided to pull out a small knife and charge at me to knock the cleaver out of my hand. I attempted and succeeded at parrying, as her weapon landed on the other end of the room. She immediately proceeded to flee out of the door as fast as she can.
I tried to stop her, but she disappeared.
"SHIT!" - I kneel down near the janitor's corpse, face still shocked. "Guys...? What the fuck just happened...?"
After a few seconds of silence, Micheal said - "Maybe she was a vampire..."
- "...well, I think it's easy to figure out."
- "...we have to move on to the exit."
I sighed. "The worst thing is, that girl must've plan an ambush on us already."
- "Yeah, let's try and take it safe and slow."
We move out towards the front lobby, as quiet as possible, when a man comes walking down the hallway. He's walking with a limp and has a bloody cleaver in his hand. He also has black eyes with red pupils.
"Crap... get ready!" - I request from my allies.
The man does the same as well, as he charged towards me. I did the same.
As he attempted to slash me, I dodged and kicked the weapon out of his hand, as he backed away. I moved towards him, as I said the thing that probably made me realize why am I in this asylum. "Most likely that girl used mind control on you, forcing you to kill. If there's any part of your mind from before that - don't worry. You won't have to kill anymore, as I shall release you from this body." - ...why the hell did I say that? Whatever, I decapitated him in one swift swing. "44..."
We continue to walk down the hallway. Nothing else happened for the rest of our walk.
As we arrived in the lobby, we were greeted by what we have expected. What else, an ambush. 5 converted patients, two females and 3 males. At the back of the room was the girl from before. She smirked at me as I walked into the room.
"Guys, I think your prey has arrived. You may do with them whatever you want, as long as you leave them barely alive~"
The girl to the left of the center of the group said "Hahaha, I guess it's time for you to die, it's too bad... You look so young and vibrant~"
As if that was a switch, I immediately snapped. I laughed insanely. "Look at that, our very own Saragarhi! Now... COME AT ME IF YOU WANNA BE THE SECOND TO TASTE THIS WEAPON!" - I enter the battle stance, waiting for the first poor bastard.
I didn't have to wait long. Two of them attacked me at the same time, one with an axe and one with a cleaver. I jumped back from their wings and hit the first enemy with my cleaver, narrowly missing the neck. The second is not as fortunare, and has his head halfway chopped off by my swing. Nobody wanted to attacked, so I've spun my cleaver taunting. "Come on! Where did your spirit go?! Your master permissioned you to mess me up however you want, and here I am, still standing!"
Finally, two people attack me again.
I deflect the first one's attack and stab him in the neck. I dash towards the second and decapitate him in one smooth swing. Is one of the people aiming at me with a gun? A gun in a melee fight, how despicable! I jump at him, twisting his arm the way that the gun now points at him. "Go on, shoot" - he listened. Good for him.
The last two started to charge, one slashing an axe - she only got a small blow on my arm. The second proceeds to charge at me.
"Axe? Come on, that's way too slow!" I immediately stab the one that's charging, and lift her together with the cleaver. I spin around, while the momentum from the cleaver cuts her neck more. Right before my cleaver pointed at the other person, I cut the other way, decapitating the one charging, and launching the corpse at the second survivor, knocking her down. I stomp at her with my shoe, as with a slowly born grin on my face I increase the force, increasing the pain. Finally, I raise my cleaver and decapitate, just like how an executioner decapitates a villager punished for heresy.
The girl has finally moved forward sighing heavily. "I guess if you need something done, you have to do it yourself..."
"Well said, well said! Now, show me what you've go--"
Before I finished, she dashed at me and grabbed me. I prepared for pushing her head away to prevent getting bitten, but she did something I did not expect. She aimed for my lips and kissed me teasingly. "Kuh..."
What the hell... was that a charm spell or something? I don't really feel obedient to her, but I think it worked as the switch again.
She pulled out a knife and charged at me laughing.
"Eh, what's... Crap!" - surprised, I was only able to dodge. Unsuccesfully. She stepped forward grabbing me. She then threw me to the ground and stomped on my stomach hard. "Hehe~ Not so strong now, are you~?" - she then bent down to attempt and bite my neck.
Is this the end? I'm gonna let myself get bitten like that? Hold on, let's think through this... Positives of that: She's beautiful, my trance would be satisfied by her side. Negatives of that: Sooner or later she'd force me to kill the two, I would be forced to commit massacres that happened he-- Wait, why the fuck am I even considering letting myself get bitten?! It's probably that god damn kiss... So it WAS a charm spell. I won't let myself commit any of the massacres that happened here! I FUCKING WON'T!
I dodged the bite by tilting my head. Right before her another try, I've quickly looked over to look for the other two. A small head poked out from behind the door for a second before darting back. That counts out getting any help.
Right as she tried to bite me again, I managed to kick her away from me, as I quickly got up.
She got up as well, charging at me again, mad and going for the kill. I dodge each of her slashes.
With each slash that failed to hit, I could see more and more frustration within her eyes.
"Come on dude, run!" I heard from Micheal. Just as he shouted that, the girl stopped attacking. She started laughing snidely as she rushed at Micheal, stabbing him in the stomach and sending him to the ground. She'll kill them both at this point! I kicked the girl away from Micheal. "Are you gonna be alright?"
"Ugh... Maybe, I don't know..."
I can't let them die! But she's just gonna torture them sooner or later.
...there's only one way I can think of to stop her. Perhaps it's because of that darn spell, but...
I look at the murderer girl. "Oi."
She turns around looking at me. "Yes~?"
- "...let's make a deal."
- "I'm listening~"
- "Don't do it!" - I hear from Micheal. However, I ignore it.
- "If you let them go..."
- "Yes~? What will you do~?"
Just as I was about to speak, I started shivering. I was not expecting to get so stressed about it. However, I'd rather do that, than let more people die. With the final sigh, I said it. "I will be yours. You will be able to do whatever your heart desires to do with me, and I will not fight back."
She thought for a moment before speaking - "I do need a new minion, so I guess I'll take you up on your offer~"
"...go."
The two run off down the hallway. The girl walks towards me, and thinks for a while. "Buut... I don't think it would be too fun for me to just take you as a minion, soo... How about I fight you~? If you win you can go free, but if I win, I will suck your body dry of blood~!"
"Well, if you want that... sure."
As I finished the last word, she charged at me with a knife with a cute smile on her face. I succesfully parried my attack and attempted to counter. Despite my best efforts, she managed to dodge every attack. She responded with a flurry of knife slashes at me, but I blocked them.
The fight seems to be equal so far, and neither of us could get a hit on each other.
Her stabs. My dodge and leg sweep. Her dodge and leg sweep. My dodge.
It is a festival of counters, back and forth, like the flow and EBB of the tide to the gravity of the moon.
However as I attempted to slash her, she grabbed my arm and sweeped me to the floor. She slowly pulls me up and attempts to bite me like that, trying to end this fight once and for all.
I pushed her head backwards, and proceeded to perform a suplex on her. She finally seemed to be stunned, signalizing that I should run away. I dashed for the exit, however just as I touched the handle, I realized something. Where am I gonna run away to? What will I do? And if the police finds me... They will probably know about the 11 people, they'll just kill me...
I've proceeded to close the door, lock it, and slide the key along the floor towards the girl, as I've said something. I'm not even sure was it the charm spell that did it. Perhaps it were my actual thoughts.
"You really got angry, didn't you? I respect you. I'll be honest, no matter what would the outcome be, I'd still let you do it. A deal is a deal, after all." I moved towards her.
[[OKAY, IT'S TIME FOR AN UPDATE. Any time there's a video showed up, play it immediately. If another video is shown and the first one is still there, pause the first and go for the next one.]]
"And I'll be even more honest. I've noticed that you're beautiful, I also like your personality. And well, if I'd have to serve someone until my death..." I get the girl up. "...it would probably be you." I've closed her in towards me, hugged her and flexed my neck to make it easier for her. "Come on."
She looks confused at me for a while. "Ooh..."
She finally proceeds to bite me. As she sink my teeth into me and bein to drain my very life from my body, I felt an oddly weird sensation. I don't think there was a time I felt more alive than this. Perhaps this isn't death, but something greater... After a while, I fall unconcious. I do not resist the Death herself.
...
...
...
After a while, I wake up in a corner of a room, it is most likely not the asylum. Micheal and Moriko are over me... with a pale skin, and black eyes with red pupils.
- "Wha... Where are we...? And why do you look like the girl...?"
- "Sorry, Luc got us... He ambushed us and bite me, but I still managed to kill him..." - said Micheal.
- "...then you died, rose, and bit the girl... if I would only do something to stop him from rising, then you would be able to escape..."
- "Yeah, I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough..."
- "It's okay, it's not your fault..." As I slowly got up, I looked into a mirror.
...just as I expected. Pale skin. Black eyes. Red pupils. It looks startling, but refreshing at the same time...
Micheal left the room for a second and came back with a glass full of red substance in it and gave it to me. As I look at it, I freeze. It doesn't take alot of knowledge to know what is that substance...
"You need it to live now, I'm sorry..." - as Micheal said that...
"Ooooh, hello~ I see that you're up~" - said Otoko. Yeah, somehow I know her name now. She walked up to me and looked at the glass. "Are you gonna drink that?"
I looked down at the glass. Need it to survive, huh... After a sigh, I put up the glass closer to my mouth, drinking it.
It tasted wonderful, I never expected that the blood of another human could taste like this... It was something like pure bliss.
Otoko walked up to a couch and sat down. "What do you think of your new look, is it everything you imagined it to be?" - she asked.
- "I think so..."
- "That's good. Anyways, I forgot to tell you this, but you're a Jinrou. I see it in your eyes."
- "Jinrou...?"
- "Yeah. One of us, but slighty better. You can go out into the sun light and survive off human food longer than we can."
- That's... good, I guess."
- "Hahah, you act like you don't know what you are~ You are a Shiki, or a vampire, or whatever you want to call us... Your job is to turn more humans into us. By the way, you sound sad. Why?"
- "I don't know..."
- "Hmmm... Anyway, get used to this place, it's your new home. Oh, and just to let you know... Nobody else made it out of the asylum. The cops killed all the survivors for man slaughter..."
- "...I understand." I start thinking about the current situation. What now? I'll have to slaughter just like her...? Will I cause a massacre just like that...? Something started ticking inside me, like a gear that does it's final turns before breaking. My humanity...? Remains of my sanity...?
...
...h
... ha... hahahah...
........GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA~! Who cares about humanity?! Who cares about sanity?! Why would I think about that? I'm a fucking Shiki now! There is no such thing now! What counts is survival! Kill someone for blood? Whatever! Cause a massacre for more blood? Whatever! Just remember what you said to her! You said you'll serve her, so do that, and survive~!
I finally speak up, sounding much, much happier. "I understand now, I will have to kill and survive. And... I'm... PERFECTLY FINE WITH THAT~! Now... what are your orders~?"
Otoko laughed, and started sounding much happier as well: "I order you to go and show the city what you're made for, for two days~!"
"Yes, my master! GYAHAHA~!" I immediately run out the building with a grin on my face. This will be REALLY fun.
Micheal walked over to Moriko and put a hand on her shoulder. "I guess we have to do the same, even if we don't want to..."
Moriko nodded in agreement. "Ooooh... I guess you guys do. But, I just wanna see what he's capable of~" - said Otoko.
-the camera slowly goes up towards the full moon, slowly zooms in until it blacks out-
THE END
The round has now ended!
Let's play a game. After I finish the remake, I will ask a couple questions, that will most likely be to pinpoint the part I talk about, Winner gets into "Hall of Fame", because everyone wants that, right?
Please remember, that you still can join the sessions. It would be appreciated, as we are planning to write a sequel to this, and the more players, the better! You can join by either PMing me your Skype username, or adding randomguypl over, well, Skype. You will be added into the group as soon as possible.
Questions
1. Which part do you believe is evidence for my reasoning to why I never joined any PH rounds?
2. Which part do you believe I not only did not see coming, but I also praise the GM for?
3. Which part do you think I think is the one I did the worst at?
(These ones are just for curiosity's sake)
4. Do you think it would be better with voice acting?
5. What should be corrected?
6. What is your favourite part?
7. What is your most disliked part?
8. If I got someone to draw specific scenes (you know, like CGs in a visual novel), which ones would you like to see the most? (personally I would be interested in the "seeing Micheal and Moriko after rising", "looking in the mirror" and probably "running out with a grin".)
