The Extra Seeks Chaos

Chapter 6 Inventory

"Done," Arin muttered as he stared at the paper he was holding, which had a list of important dates written out. "I'll certainly remember these days, but it won't hurt to have a backup."

By the time he finished, it was already evening, though the sky wasn't fully dark yet. He still had some time before his appointment with Tessa.

"System, show me the inventory," Arin said as he sat down on the bed.

[Inventory: A space where you can keep different items except living things.]

[Slots: Unlimited]

[Items: Extra's Mask, Dark Cloak.]

Arin squinted at the system screen. "Unlimited slots... I see." This meant he could store anything in the inventory, regardless of the amount, except living things. It was a great feature that he planned to utilize to the fullest.

"Now, how do I access it?" he muttered, asking no one in particular.

Surprisingly, the system, which usually didn't answer questions, suddenly provided an explanation.

[Just think about the object you want to put in the inventory, that's all.]

[Note: You must be in physical contact with the object.]

[Also, if you want to remove an item from the inventory, just think about the item, and it'll instantly be removed from the inventory.]

Arin placed his finger on his chin. "Hmm, that's convenient."

Deciding to try it out, he thought about the mask, and in an instant, the mask appeared in his hand. "Great."

"I haven't seen the cloak yet, but the system mentioned it was black, so..."@@@@

Arin instantly thought of a black cloak, and just as expected, the cloak appeared in his hand. It was pure black with no design, which made Arin like it even more.

Instantly, Arin dashed towards the building silently. His steps were almost inaudible as his cloak fluttered in the wind. The wind whizzed past his face as he got closer to the building, and the night masked his presence.

A few seconds later, he reached the library building. He quickly assessed the structure, noting the stone façade and the decorative ledges that could serve as handholds. Using the rough texture of the wall and the protruding ledges, he started scaling the building.

The library wasn't too high, so it didn't take long for Arin to reach the rooftop. With a slight boost, he launched himself upwards and landed on the rooftop.

Immediately, he heard a sweet voice creep into his ears.

"You're late," Tessa said, gazing at him with her sharp blue eyes.

'Just like I thought... She's here...' Arin thought as a smirk appeared on his face behind the mask.

"Well, I didn't expect you to be here so early," Arin said, his voice muffled by the mask, a sinister edge creeping into his tone. "You've saved me the trouble of hunting you down."

Tessa's eyes suddenly widened in shock as she stepped back.

'H.... Hunting me down.... What does he mean by that.....?' Tessa found herself trembling a bit as she stared at Arin.

'No, I can't slack off now.... I'm not weak....' She reassured herself.

Mustering the courage, she walked forward a bit, before speaking.

"Start talking, Chaos. I don't have time to waste," Tessa said, gripping her sword, ready to strike at any given moment.
