NOVEL NEXT Chapter 78: Make the choice
He stood up from the ground, as the key hid under his sleeve. What was the meaning of it? He looked at it and held it, it seemed like it had a mind of its own... Yet it acted upon his desire for it to move out of his hand and vice versa. Maybe another limb?
He felt like he had lost something, but it wasn't the case, he was a free electron till now, his eyes were open to his own desires to act and enjoy. His flow was smoother and more precise, his mind was clear, the clouds had just disappeared. This key was the key literally to his prayers... his wishes has been fulfilled, though he didn't had a goal, his mind was rid of parasites, that destroyed his mental state.
He walked over to a wall, as he wanted to talk with someone about it, to share his experiences. But there was something holding him back, something that told him to keep this memory for himself. He smiled and accepted his own wishes to keep this special moment for himself. This was the feather which set the unbalanced tower of corrupted thoughts falling.
Either way he wanted to go somewhere else, so he walked to a wall and attempted to phase through it. But it failed, he walked into it face first. "Yeouch!" He pulled back before laughing a bit. He walked back to the wall and made an attempt to put his hand through it, but it didn't work. Then he looked down at the key, which moved to his hand. He looked back up at the wall and put the key through it, the key had no trouble passing, and so, after he twisted the key the space allowed him to pass through. But as he run down his memory he realized that it wasn't the action of using it as a key, but the fact that it was in his hand, the confirmation, unlocking a door, it all made sense to him now, how this worked, his power wasn't active until the key wasn't in his hand.
As he phased through the wall he was met by another void of nothingness, the one he hadn't seen a while, but suddenly it all changed, it twist and stretched until it all became a wall with keyholes. He walked around and looked through few of them, which revealed him, just doing something different and than the picture of the others keyholes. There was the choice, this wasn't a portal, but a choice of one's force of will.
He looked down to his hand with the key and smiled, he felt truly free, everything was open for him, and now he was in peace. Though it was nice, he still felt confused as to what his purpose was, why was he, he...
It didn't take a while for this to be brushed away as he just accepted his existence, but if that was in fact the case... Then was it all meant to be? 'Maybe.' He thought to himself as he decided to step out of there, he seemed to be expanding on the scale of knowledge as he came to more conclusions.
And so, he came up with the idea of another slight limit, but an intriguing one for himself. He made random noclippable only for him walls and floors, of course he would need to hold the key to be able to pass through, but searching for them would be interesting, random unknown to him exits of reality that served as a door step towards everything else, a web... just the way he described the backrooms.
With that he set up the first portal, the start of his new way of travel, which was far more preferable than having it all ready and served on a silver plate. The key made it's way to his hand before he walked to the wall and phased through it.
