Chapter 1 - The Crimson Path

Ouch!

The pain is killing me!

My head it hurts so much!

*Blank* head was hurting so much that it felt like he got shot

*Blank* Heard voices in his head saying everyone will die including you. *Blank* thought what am I hearing? Everyone else will die including me? Why can't I remember anything that happened before this. What am I? Who am I? What was my name? Wait the last thing remember is how I died, I died from a murder. Wait I think I remembered who killed me it was. Ouch my head! Why can't I remember? Come on! Come on brain! Think! Think! Think!

Ouch… *Blank* tried to turn over. In his mind he was thinking where am I? He tried to move his limbs, but he felt paralyzed bound down he felt helpless trying to process everything.

Am I in a dreaming? Have I made it to the after life? Is the afterlife just a empty void? Is there a heaven? Is there a hell? Where am I? *Blank* was used to experiences like this before, he struggled to break free from the chainsaw of darkness that holds him in down.

However he was half-awake he tried to focus on waking up, but every time he tired to focus he heard a voice trying to distract him repeating everyone will die including you. Every opportunity *Blank* had would slip away due to the voices in his head.

Why is my heart aching now? Now my head and now my chest.

Am I still alive?

Am I dead?

Or am I both?

F##k I already died young, what next is the afterlife just a void, do my thoughts just live on in the afterlife? I need to leave this! Now!

Wait! My chest feels a bit better, but still feels like a blunt knife slowly cutting my heart in half…

Welp, looks like I died while trying to go to a job interview I guess I can't get that job anymore.

Wait, why am I thinking of that interview while I'm in the after life.

I guess I now have all the time in the world to think of things I missed out on like theories of games and shows the I've played and watched.

*Blank* struggled to open his eyes, but the slow pain he felt gave *Blank* strength to finally open his eyes, but when he finally opened his eyes it was a bit of a blur but he saw a unfamiliar wooden desk. He got up and looked around the room the find out where he was. He looked at a notebook on the wooden desk it said Alaric Venn.

Alaric Venn? Who could that be? There are 5 logs in the notebook but I'll read from the beginning to gain a better understand on who Alaric Venn is.

Well, ok so Alaric Venn got killed, his brother is in college currently and visits to spend time with him occasionally. Now I'm questioning where is Alaric Venn's body? If this is his apartment well they probably took the body to hide the evidence.

*Blank* looks at the ground there's a blood stain on the bed where he was laying, it *Blank* took a second to realize that he is in Alaric Venn's body and notice blood and a stab mark on the spot of his heart. Soon after *Blank* realized he was Alaric Venn, then he heard a knock on his door.
