Chapter 5 - Chapter Five

In an empty passage an individual was running,they were wearing a jacket and trousers,the person was breathing heavy as they are scared as if they were running from something or someone.The passage opens upto a forest,they are running in a narrow way which opens up to a turn where on both sides they were surrounded by elevation on which there were big trees towering over everything below,because of their staggering heights the sun rays only hit the top crown of the trees,they were lit in a golden hue and everything below was in dark but the individual didn't had any time to look at the vistas of the forest,they took a turn and climbed up to the elevated cliff and went behind a tree but they were still breathing heavy, behind them in their left side a person was running in their way with a gun ,the person running had worn a police outfit,the person behind the tree seemed to be frightened and agitated but they gathered all the courage and strength and use their ability to turn the tree into a doppelganger of themself but the person with the gun didn't shoot the doppelganger, instead the shooter ran for the real person as they both ran they entered an empty ground where they hid behind a boulder, then touched it and turn into a doppelganger,then they ran behind and hid themself behind another boulder which was beside them ,but the man came around and shot the original person seven times,the six shots didn't do any damage but the last one did,the shot was on the head.

The person in the police uniform was relieved and thought it was a risky gamble to not shoot the doppelganger and instead shoot the real one. If the real one was the doppelganger then the person with the gun would be dead by now . It is finally done the gang leader has been killed thought the person with the gun,then the doppelganger disappeared,the person shot turns into a normal human with no eyes,no mouth,no ears,nose and a mid section, they only had limbs and a pointy head which is considered normal in this world , they looked like that because of the person with the gun's ability which allow them to slightly alter reality,the shooter's uniform disappears too but they remain same in looks with mouth,ears,nose ,mid-section and naked which would be considered abnormal in this world .

By the help of their powers they can slightly alter reality where they will act out any of the three classic stories with the victim where the victim cannot harm the user of the ability ,the first one being monster and hero,second one being of a police and thief,and third one of a lawyer and convicted,according to the story they will be given certain wardrobe and powers,and whoever is dead in the story will be the alive one at the end and whoever alive will be dead in real life end until and unless the person who is going to be dead in real life kills the person who will be alive by any means .

For example,in this case the story was of the police officer and criminal's,where the police officer will shoot the said criminal then the criminal will be assigned with certain random points,that many bullets will be in the police officer's gun and the policeman has to shoot the criminal that many times,the shots up until the last one will not hurt the the person in the role of thief except for the last one this has to be done in three hours or else the police officer will die.The thief on the other hand will have a gimmick where when they touch anything or anyone they can turn them or those things into clones of themselves ,if any amount of bullets are wasted on the clone the real thief will win

The person killed here was a gangleader of the infamous Kac gang who are notorious for killing,robbing,arson and other crimes.

The person who had the gun did all this because once they were in the streets only wearing a cloak around them,they came near alleyway an beside that alleyway was a shop, people ran out of the alley way but they were shot from behind they were brutally killed,seeing that the person went into sadness,grieving their deaths even if he didn't know them he was still shocked as to how brutal humans can be to each other so he thought to avenge them .

They buried the body of the gang leader.

Someone called the person from behind saying, "hello sibling",and they had similar looking features to the person who killed the gang leader.The person thought what did they mean by that,though before any further talking the person turns the landscape into a room , the room is black in colour ragged but it had a door and information is put inside their head that there can be eight beings who can knock on the door among them are love,hate,greed,envy,happiness,birth,death,anger.

The person was frightened at first but mustered up the courage to do the task ,then a knock occured and the person had to guess who it is ,they guessed it to be envy but immediately information transferred into their mind that,this was wrong answer,second time knock happened they guessed it to be happiness but that was wrong too,the third time they were about to guess love but that was wrong but before they could say it,the ability was deactivated.The person said, "what you guessed was wrong" and that they would have died if they had said the choice out loud,the way the person came to know about this because when they use this ability they will know about the victim's choice before they say it.The person then threatened them to show their ability or else they will kill them,the person became frightened but then remembered the fact that they killed and entire gang ,so killing a single person is not a big of a deal for them .Their ability is reality altering based where they have to act out one any of the three stories where the story will be choosen by the ability randomly, in the story the dead one will be alive in reality and the alive one will be dead in reality,so the three stories are hero and monster,prosecutor and convicted ,and Police officer and criminal the roles can be picked by the one chosen by the ability. In monster and hero one of the person plays hero and other has to play monster, the hero has to stab the monster and after that the hero has to run away from the monster as they will have uncontrollable urge to restab them which will cancel the first stab ,if successful the monster will die.

Second is the prosecutor and convicted where the lawyer has to prove that the convicted has conducted a murder, the prosecutor will have evidence against the convicted, the judge will have the tendency of favouring the convicted until and unless the prosecutor proves that the convicted to be the criminal.

Third is Police and criminal where the police officer will have a gun with which they have to kill the criminal,at first the ability will assign the criminal with certain points and that many bullets will be inside the police officer's gun so no bullets can be wasted ,then the police officer has to shoot the convicted that many times non of them will hurt the criminal up until the last one which will kill the criminal.The criminal will have the ability to sabotage any object or person and that object or person will turn into a clone of themself and will start to act like them and take commands from them this can be done only once with an object or person,if the officer wastes any amount of bullets on the sabotage the thief will win .

The ability activates and the rules are transferred into the person's mind and this time the story is police officer and criminal ,the person with the knock ability was given the power to choose,so they chose the role of thief,because according to their perspective it has an overwhelming advantage for the person in that role because if the police officer wastes even a single bullet it is a win for the thief,they just need to play it smart , so the act started and the person in the role of thief ran to the woods and the person in the role of police followed them.

The person in the thief role has a plan in their mind, they go to an empty area where there were large boulders and they touched the one of the large boulder and turned them into a clone of themself and asked them to run away while they will take the boulder's place this will make the person in police officer's role think that the person running away is the real person and the person standing is a clone but in reality it is other way around and when the person with the role of officer came there they did exactly that but then they took had a trick up their sleeve they diactivated the ability which will give the victim the powers of the role for lifetime and the clone will be there but the condition of death will not take place,the person in the role of thief asked why didn't they didn't deliver this information before , the person told them that not all things should be revealed,the person in the role of thief told them that it was a smart move and ran away from there with the clone .
