|inside of a dilapidated building a “deal” was being held, a large man about 6,3 was walking towards another man shorter than him about 5,4 with a briefcase|385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QS3CnbbWT
The large man walked towards the short man. “Took you long enough! Now hurry up and give me the case and the “gang” will pay you accordingly.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqSYkfvD2T
The short man looks up at the large man. “Tch, the deal was that you’ll pay me upfront. I have the briefcase so you should be trying to make this as easy as possi-“385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEFfORPzJg
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJgpi6M7Md
In the middle of the short man speaking the tall man Punches the short man and grabs him by the collar. “Listen here short stack! I didn’t come all the way out here just to get lectured by a whiny bitch!”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8lLbO5NC8
The tall man then throws the short man on the ground. “So do us both a goddamn favor and GIVE ME THE BRIEFCASE!
|As the man was walking toward the short man, presumably trying to take the suitcase by force, they both hear footsteps to their left and to their surprise they see a small robed woman holding daggers approaching them.|
The tall man lets go of the short man and walks towards the robed woman. “Just who the hell are you?! And who told you that we were here!?”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHg54nC88H
The robed woman stops in place for a moment. “My name? I won’t tell you. All you should know is that you’re on my territory and you should leave this instant.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRIs7NwN5O
The tall man snickers at the robed woman’s comment. “Your territory? DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH!”
The tall man runs towards the robed woman. LET’S SEE YOU TALK SHIT AFTER I’LL HAVE YOU BEG FOR YOUR LIFE!”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh44dTdxYZ4
In an instant the robbed woman appears in-front of the man, the robbed woman has her daggers at the man’s neck. “Oh really now? Me begging for mercy? No but you’ll soon to be begging for your life.”
Locter wakes up from her dream, as she stands up from her throne stretches and yawns, looking down her corridor, admiring it.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQlbbh7n0n
|Locter looks beside as she heard slight breathing, she sees a demon child breathing lightly as she sleep’t|385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyMEtAmM3p
Locter pokes the little girl on her forehead, trying to wake her up. “Hey there! Cmon kid wake up.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNB9TS8iV6
The child’s eyes fluttered open as she opened her eyes, “O-oh, hey there…”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeG2gCJz4G
The girl stood up and looked at Locter. “Well uhm… I would like to thank you for saving me.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVRBelvwnH
Locter looks at the girl with a slight smile. “No problem kid. What those people were doing to you was unacceptable and I couldn’t stand to see you suffering in that cage.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkhcbq06jl
Locter looks around her corridor, not seeing nor sensing anyone in it yet. “Well looks like I’m not getting any company for a bit.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUZ5uMYgHC
Locter looks at the girl’s attire, seeing that she’s still wearing the same torn rags that Locter found her in while she was inside of that cage. “You’re still wearing that same shirt? You know you can ask for clothes right?”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ps9Ibyiar
The girls eyes widen as she looked around the corridor until her eyes settled on Locter. “W-wait really?! I don’t see any dressing room nor any room at that…”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjabtEVwPlY
|Locter raised her hand slightly and with a singular snap of her finger the girl’s clothes changed into a turtleneck covered up by a white coat with black pants|
Locter looked at the girl with a smirk on her face. “I don’t recall me me asking for your name yet. Do you even have one?”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlqCP6SVsc
The girl who was still admiring her new outfit looked at Locter. “My name is Piece!”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdMgsnd3Xb
Locter looked at the girl, tilting her head. “Piece huh. That name needs a little more to it. Don’t you have a nickname?”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrbBOWJkOv
Piece shook her head. “No. In all honesty I really don’t even know my parents. All I remember was that cage…”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOK7U36Wm
Locter crouched down to the girl’s height. “Don’t worry Piece, mostly all Corridor caretakers and Corridor candidates don’t remember their past life. Well if Oniell decides to make you into a corridor caretaker that is.”
Piece looked at Locter with a mix of a shocked and confused expression. “W-Wha? Corridor caretaker? Corridor candidates? All of these words mean no sense to me.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEubh14EaUh
Locter scratched at the freckles on her face as she looked away in embarrassment. “Well uhm, I should have told you about your past world being a corridor. Or I should have explained the basics of corridors…”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ6MheXj2H
|Minutes go by as Locter began to explain what corridors were, telling piece about corridor caretakers and corridor candidates.|385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHznvb4nK2K
Piece looks at Locter, her hand clenched as she looks at her in awe. “So you’re telling me Corridor caretakers can manipulate these corridors which are practically just universes down to every little detail!? THATS SO COOL!”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ue3L7Lfj
Locter nods her head, her ego increasing by the second. “Mhm! That’s right and now since I analyzed the owner of your world or I should say Corridor candidate’s ability with mine, I can now manipulate everything I want in my corridor! I could most likely even create an infinite amount dimensions here if I really wanted to, but there is no point in doing that.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgcE40uirm
Piece coughs, composing herself from spewing out more praises she looks down Locter’s corridor. “If I may ask, why is your corridor practically a straight line of black and white walls?”
Locter chuckles at the question. “The reason? Fuhu, the main reason is because it mentally drains the people who enter here.”
Piece looks at Locter, a hint of confusion in her eyes. “It drains them? How so?”
Locter, still looking at Piece sighs. “If you walked in a straight line it feels like time slows down yes? It’s the same thing with my corridor but the only difference is that I can expand or shrink my corridor all i want.”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWovoVsmRGp
Piece puts her hand on her chin. “I see, so the main reason your corridor is a line is because it lowers people’s sanity to the point it’ll allow you to beat them without any resistance that will put you in harm?”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEvoU1JH7I
A large smile appeared on Locter’s face while clapping. “Good job Piece. You’re spot on!”
|As Locter continued clapping her hands, she felt a disturbance in her Corridor, as if someone was trying to tear it apart from the inside|385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUVCRHRuFm
Locter slumped back in her throne letting out a soft sigh. “And just when I thought nobody was showing up…”385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLr5LmLph6
