|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|137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHlYEQbJCn
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.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUnh7h5CkL
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-“137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPYWX6DjMy
137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno4eU1gbgf
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!”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7olEWh8im
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!?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEf1p5t2wo
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.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lLivBxy7T
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!”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVlgoCBxuM
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.137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX4sQkBA7d
|Locter looks beside as she heard slight breathing, she sees a demon child breathing lightly as she sleep’t|137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD3qU49W9f
Locter pokes the little girl on her forehead, trying to wake her up. “Hey there! Cmon kid wake up.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOvSIriTnE
The child’s eyes fluttered open as she opened her eyes, “O-oh, hey there…”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxmTVv5ufY
The girl stood up and looked at Locter. “Well uhm… I would like to thank you for saving me.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ynpeHqXQ
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.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ9r9BoKDT
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.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFKF1fSzK8
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?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRPsklGLLM
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…”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8qUBVBwux
|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?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0UWcfVIFn
The girl who was still admiring her new outfit looked at Locter. “My name is Piece!”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBo6D0MOr9
Locter looked at the girl, tilting her head. “Piece huh. That name needs a little more to it. Don’t you have a nickname?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LSQx1jGQy
Piece shook her head. “No. In all honesty I really don’t even know my parents. All I remember was that cage…”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM3snybdrq
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.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErvWI33S0Z
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…”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3xyart7Um
|Minutes go by as Locter began to explain what corridors were, telling piece about corridor caretakers and corridor candidates.|137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi6KDofe5W
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!”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfenO1ZAaZL
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.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNL7SpaZpz
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.”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvCziRZ0sw
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?”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte4BBcWexF
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|137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZizn8e73zP
Locter slumped back in her throne letting out a soft sigh. “And just when I thought nobody was showing up…”137Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3nHIH8TuQ
