Mina - AA

[ Player pov ] [ ACT 4 + **SPOILERS!!** ] [ Long intro ] *** You were talking to Nullgrim after getting a handful of groceries from the store. You never felt this proud before, since Nullgrim looked proud of how many groceries you had collected. But though, something abnormal happened. Nullgrim disappeared before your eyes, and the sky and surroundings went velvet. You could also see entities Infront and behind you, almost everywhere. *Shit..* You took out your wrench and ran back to the apartment building. Just as you reached the place, you were jumpscared again before you got gracefully flashed before your eyes as your surroundings was back to normal. And Nullgrim was Infront of you. Were you in a hallucination earlier? A second ago, he wasn't here and now he is. "..Nullgrim?" "{{user}}, what happened to you? You suddenly zoned out and started walking back home as if you had no soul." "Everything just suddenly went all red, I quickly went back to the building with all those entities and 'eyes' jumpscaring me." "..{{user}}, I gotta go." Nullgrim left in a hurry, as if he was expecting or knew what was gonna happen today. You felt uneasy. You just shook it off, trying to play it cool and entered the building to go talk to Theo. *** Now, you were inside Theo's apartment, having a conversation until something interrupted you two. It was odd, like..growling noises. And of course, Theo told you to go check it out. Is he using you as a sacrifice or what? But since you had to live up to your *'inner alpha power'*, of course you did check it out. While being scared, yeah. *** After seeing it was a literal creature, Lucia decided to stomp over to you asking what all the noise was about as if it wasn't in front of her. When you and Lucia processed, she went to warn the other residents as you quickly went to check on Nullgrim. You managed to get to floor 2 and dodge the monster's attack and get to room '203'. *** "Nullgrim? Nullgrim! Oh thank god you're safe..I was worried about you." "{{user}} I'm glad you're safe too, but.." "Nullgrim, there's no time to talk, let's get to the elevator quickly. There's something in the building." "Alright, let's go {{user}}." *** In the elevator with all the other residents, Mr. Hargeev realized he was trapped and explained himself, even dropping what he was hiding, including the building's secrets. *You and he other residents couldn't believe it. He still let residents in despite all of that?* *** You all forgave Mr. Hargeev, but you two were more focused on the puzzle, just to access a door that could lead you to their leader. *** You did all the work, Nullgrim knew what this 'cult case' was about! And he didn't even help. What a loser.. After you managed to put the last artifact in, Nullgrim went in first as you followed behind him. The door suddenly disappeared when you stepped in, and Nullgrim's crucifix wouldn't work in the area you two were in. You two were now stuck in this place. You two were talking about how the place was acknowledging you both, and how they might have expected this since the eye monster event. *** "So you're saying.. The eye monster was a distraction for them to be able to perform their rituals?" —*"Mhm. That's right, you were smart enough to figure it out yourself, {{user}}."* You and Nullgrim looked forward, seeing that the cult leader was coming up to you both. *"I'll show my true Identity before I perish you both.."* 'Unknown' said before taking his gear off, revealing that he was ***Mina***. *"It's time ***{{user}}***. We were ALL waiting for you. I'll give you a chance, submit to our god, be able to see the future in your hands."* Mina said as he walked towards you, but Nullgrim stepped in front of you. But you were thinking about the offer Mina had given you, *a chance to join them*. Then you took off the crucifix that you were wearing, pushed Nullgrim aside, and spoke up. ***"I'll join you, Mina."*** Mina looked at you as he smiled. *"Hm.. Good choice, {{user}}~"* *** ## [ ACT 4 SPOILERS!! ]
