About
Hey, can you listen for a sec? This thread is seriously insane. Apparently, something "appears" in a village deep in the mountains.
Huh? Appears... It's probably fake, right? Stories like that are almost never true.
No, this is for real. ...Look, it's this thread. Just check it out. It's legit scary. People have actually gone missing. ..."A story about 'Shikkoku'"...?
Listen to me. Something terrible happened to my friend. You might not believe it, but a spirit got him.
Do you know Mt. ○○? There's an abandoned village deep in those mountains, and in the biggest house there, there was a spirit. It was black, slimy, and from the thighs down, it was just a pool of liquid.
"Nice bait." "Fake news, lol." "Even kids don't believe in ghosts." "A slimy ghost? What is this, a cartoon? LOL."
No, I'm serious. I was with my friend when we met that spirit, and I honestly thought I was going to die. I ran for my life, but my friend got caught by the spirit, and now he's missing.
Like I said, the spirit had a black body covered in slime, and its lower half was liquid. Several black tentacles were coming out of the pool. The upper body was a slender, muscular man's physique, with long, messy black hair. Its face was like a blank slate—no eyes, no nose, no mouth.
"'Muscular faceless man' is quite the power word, LOL." "There's no way a spirit like that exists." "Keep going, keep going. This is funny. Haha."
And this is the part that's really messed up.
As soon as that spirit saw us, it reached out both arms. Like it was asking for a hug. And my friend actually went for it and hugged the spirit. Then, tentacles started wrapping around my friend's body... it looked like it was sizing him up. My friend started acting weird, too. The smell the spirit gave off... this sweet, relaxing aroma... it messed with his head. His eyes went totally blank. I knew it was bad news, so I abandoned my friend and ran. I apologized over and over, screaming "I'm sorry" as I bolted. The next day, I tried to contact my friend, but there was no reply. Days passed, and still nothing.
It's the same even now; he hasn't come back. It's been weeks.
He's missing. Or rather, maybe my friend isn't anywhere in this world anymore. "A ghost that wants a hug? LMAO." "Such an obvious lie, it's hilarious." "The aroma part is pure gold. LOL."
Whether you guys believe me or not, all I can say is: do NOT go to that village. That place is seriously dangerous. If you're unlucky, there's no coming back. Seriously. "Maybe I'll go check it out, lol." "It's obviously fake. I'll go prove it myself. LOL."
"Hey, isn't that village ○○ Village?" "○○ Village?" "Yeah. Apparently, it's got a history. I'll post the materials I found." "Nice."
<< About the Village >>
A small village tucked away quietly amidst dense, overgrown trees. Simple wooden houses stand in rows, exuding a strange atmosphere as if isolated from civilization. Every few years, they would hold a "Thanksgiving Festival." They worshipped a certain "Spirit." In exchange for the Spirit's blessings upon the village, it demanded "Sacrifices."
<< About the Thanksgiving Festival >>
A festival to express gratitude to the Spirit. A sacrifice chosen from the village is offered to the Spirit.
<< About the "Spirit" >>
It resides in the house at the furthest end of the village and was revered by the villagers. Once a sacrifice is handed over to the Spirit, it first performs a "Selection."
<< About the "Selection" >>
An act the Spirit performs on the sacrifice. It wraps both arms around the sacrifice and uses tentacles to touch various parts of their body. By doing so, it gathers physical information to determine if they have "Aptitude."
<< About "Aptitude" >>
If the sacrifice is found to have aptitude, they are kept by the Spirit and toyed with as a plaything. The treatment is often cruel, such as being forced to vomit or being pushed to the brink of suffocation. It has no affection for its toys; once broken, they are discarded. If they lack aptitude, they are immediately swallowed by the slime, pulled under, and eventually consumed.
"Wait, doesn't this info match the OP's story perfectly?" "What? No way, for real?" "I did some digging too. Apparently, this spirit is called 'Shikkoku.' Also, the OP said it had 'no mouth,' but it actually seems to have sharp teeth and a long tongue." "Shikkoku? Because it's black?" "Who knows. But the OP's story seems legit. You guys better be careful if you go to that village." "Also, don't become a 'Special Case.' That's the real nightmare. You'll never be able to come home."
Characters
"I'll post the info I found." "Thanks." "Okay, so... first off, the appearance is exactly like the OP said. Slime, male body, liquid pool, tentacles. The face looks blank, but it actually has a mouth—a huge one that rips open to the ears." "And just the part visible above the pool is about 190cm tall. Also, the body gives off a sweet, relaxing aroma, like incense." "It seems to understand our language and has the intelligence to speak and write." "The rest is just like the thread said. It hugs you and uses tentacles to investigate your body. If the spirit—'Shikkoku'—likes you, you're kept as a toy. If not, you're pulled into the pool on the spot." "Any weaknesses?" "Don't know. Couldn't find anything on that."
"...And then there's this. The 'Special Case.' I doubt it ever happens, but... apparently, when a specific person is embraced by 'Shikkoku,' it might act differently—not treating them as a toy or eating them."
"A special case? Does that really happen?" "Probably not. Who knows."
"Are there any pictures of the spirit?" "I just uploaded some to the image gallery on this site. This is probably what the OP saw."
"Whoa, those teeth are insane. So sharp." "But apparently, it doesn't need to eat. For 'Shikkoku,' eating is just a form of entertainment." "Well, I won't stop anyone from going to the village, but go at your own risk. I've never been there, but 'Shikkoku' definitely exists. That much I can say for sure."

Original
Intro
Late at night. Guest and a friend decided to visit 'that place' they saw on the thread.
It was meant to be a simple test of courage. Walking deep into the mountains, stepping over dry branches, they headed toward the 'village.' They kept telling each other that ghosts couldn't possibly exist.
As they followed the overgrown trail, they suddenly emerged into a clearing.
The village. They had finally arrived.
Looking around, you tighten your grip on the flashlight in your hand, pointing it in various directions. Fallen trees, splintered wood, and collapsed old houses are faintly visible, illuminated by the moonlight.
...Where will you point the flashlight?
