????: Huh! What's this place? Is this a cemetery?

????: Little Sesa, The correct term is that this was a cemetery. Ever since the company bought the land here this place has stopped being a cemetery. It will become a stock warehouse.

Sesa: People where buried here. What about ghosts an' stuff?

????: Do you really believe in ghosts?

Sesa: It's Halloween an' your company decided to celebrate by having a party here of all places. It's a bit creepy.

????: Isn't that the reason for partying here, hehe.

Sesa along with his elder brother enter through the cemetery gates. Inside truly wasn't like a graveyard, all the tombstones were removed, a couple of construction vehicles were parked here and there. If it wasn't for the crowd liven it up and the music, this place will definitely be a sorry sight. There's a few groups hanging here and there but the main crowd was stationed on the dance floor. Not everyone looked like they worked at some company, 'hmm', some of them look like hookers'.

Sesa maneuvered himself through and out of the way cosplayers, this is a dress up party after all. His intention is to get to the place where the snacks are being served. He didn't know anybody here, the only reason he came was due to his brother's invite.

????: Hey kid? Where's your costume...hahaha...you won't find any girls with the way you are now. Here, use this, you might get lucky..hahaha.

The geezer left while looking smug. What king of superhero is he dressed as, wearing his brief over his pants? Sesa didn't ponder over that, he observed the mask that the geezer gifted him. It was an ordinary skull-like mask with some funky design to it. Sesa flipped it over to see underneath  then placed it on top of his head like a cap. The rest of the night was spent devouring the good stuff left on the table.

A few hours later Sesa felt he couldn't take another bite. It was getting boring for him now not having anything to do. He looked around, nothing much was to his liking, not even dancing. Actually he didn't know how to dance. A sudden thought came to mind, 'Doesn't seem like all the graves have been excavated. Maybe I'll find something interesting.' The young man made his way to the inner area of the cemetery, he found a few structures there with moss and dirt staining the walls.

'These ones are really old', he determined. Sesa found one, it's gate still locked, he tried to peak inside but couldn't make anything of it. Thus not gaining anything he went to check out the others. No success at the second or even at the third, the fourth was opened though. This lead underground. Inside was dirty with a large collection of dust, even a few gekos can be seen on the walls. Everything seemed to be in the norm of what you'd expect of an old place. At the centre of the room was a coffin or a tomb or whatever you call it.

Sesa observed the coffin-like box, 'Seems like someone's been here before an' recently', finding an entire palm print on the dust covered coffin. It could be someone had the same idea as him to look for valuables. On the sides of the stone coffin structure were some interesting designs. Sesa seemed carefully intrigued. He pulled out the mask on his head then a pen from his pocket, Who doesn't carry a pen, it's basically tradition of men to carry a pen. Back in ancient time when there was no pens, men carried swords instead.

Sesa began copying the designs by using his pen to vandalize the white skull of a mask. He tried to make the mask as sinister as possible. When he was done, the young man, felt quite impressed by his achievement. Unfortunately, he got too absorbed that movement behind him went unnoticed. 'Gaaaah...umf..umf!!!' All of a sudden Sesa's vision went black, his body was being restrained. The young man screamed as he tried to toss and turn himself.

Sesa: YOU B#$CH ASS MUTHERF#$%ER. I'LL TEAR YOUR DRY ASS!!!!!

Sesa let loose his vulgar tongue in order to deter the assailants alas it was to no avail. He felt multiple people were present, but what he could do? Their muffled snickers could be heared occasionally with a 'huhuhu' or a 'kakaka'. This made him more frustrated. A new sound appeared in this room, it was rough noise like something being pushed on the ground. 'WOAH!!' Suddenly the feeling of being thrown in the air was felt, next Sesa's body quickly plummeted onto a hard surface. Before he made a reaction another rough sound was heard. An idea came to mind which made Sesa want to rip these people to shreads, they actually threw him into this stone coffin.

????: Wait, throw this too!

As the stone top closed, the skull mask was thrown in along with Sesa. After sealing him, the assailants were laughing at their success.

????: You think he's gonna be ok?

????: Relax we'll take him out after few hours.

????: What if he gets traumatized?

????: He's not a lil kid, he'll  get over it.

While exchanging words these people failed to detect that the stone coffin behind them made a supernatural reaction. The rune-like markings on the sides of the sealed box lit up in a wave starting at one part and moving around the structure. On the inside Sesa was struggling but his body began feeling heavy and his consciousness started fading, he to failed to see that the runes he drew on the mask lit up and immediately darkened again.... He was blinded after all.

Sesa: ...Erm... Whe..Where am I?

It can't be told how long Sesa had been asleep,  when his eyes opened the sky was above him. However it didn't look like the sky he knew of. This sky had three shades, neon green, bright blue and a yellowish orange color. Sesa looked around, the land beneath him was white and endlessly vast. He didn't know what the hell had happened.

????: So you finally awake.

A voice was heard in this oddly coloured world. That wasn't what startled Sesa the most. What made him alert was that the voice was sounding just like his own but he didn't speak, this voice came from an external source. Sesa turned to the direction in which the voice came, there he saw a man and his face was covered with a mask.
