Arc 1 : mitori's house : chapter 1 : jinx

In a cold and rainy night, kode's suffering continues in this world full of fear and sadness. In this night, kode finds himself in a dilapidated hut and hiding under a bucket to avoid getting wet from the rain. The sound of thunder and kode's rumbling stomach continue. Kode finally decides to sacrifice his last piece of biscuit. He takes it out and suddenly a cockroach appears from a hole in the bucket. Kode screams back and hits a rock, which causes a hole in the bucket. The biscuit also falls to the ground, and who will eat food covered in mud? At that moment, kode got very angry and stomped on the cockroach. He continued to stomp out of anger, but that continued stomping caused something to move above and suddenly a stone falls from above, large enough to knock kode unconscious. The cold night continued and the heavy rains intensified to the point that it caused a flood that came from a high place and caused the hut to collapse. Kode was swept away with it and, by luck, when he was in the middle of the flood, he was swept into a river.

In the midst of all these events, kode was immersed in a dream that had haunted him for a long time. This time, the dream was more intense than before. He sees himself in a black room surrounded by frames containing images of a key. The key is jet black. Kode wakes up from the dream and finds himself lying on the ground next to a river. Kode feels a sharp pain in his head and gets up, saying, "Damn it, what happened? Oh my God, I'm hungry. It looks like the weather has gotten colder." When he looks in front of him, he says, "Damn it, this unlucky house again! Screw it , I don't have a choice. At least I need to find a place to get rid of the cold. I also need to move before some monster finds me."

When Kode approaches the house, he finds that the door is open. He quickly goes inside, and luckily, he manages to enter the house. But when he enters, he hears a nearby voice saying, "Mommy, mommy, let me put on the necklace for a little while." A woman replies, "Go and close the door. I feel a cold draft coming from downstairs ." At that moment, kode is confused and looks to his left. He sees a cardboard box and hides under it. Then he starts to hear the sound of someone approaching. Kode's fear increases with every step he hears. Then that person closes the door. When that person turns around, kode sees that a mouse has entered through a hole in the box. Kode screams and wakes up from the dream. At this moment, kode discovers that what happened was just a dream. He finds himself lying on the ground next to the river, just as he saw in the dream. Kode says, "Oh my God, what happened? My head hurts a lot." Then he looks in front of him and sees that the door of the fat Metori's house is still open. He runs quickly towards the door, but that speed causes him to trip on a stone and fall into a pile of mud. The door is then closed.......
