DEAD MAN'S JOURNEY   CHAPTER - 31

I ate the morning breakfast and headed towards the grave hall where the two graves of the Emperor and his wife were.The hall was situated on the middle floor just above the throne room.I walked up the stairs on the left and entered the middle floor corridor where only a single door was present.Opening the door which was sealed by me, with the help of a special key. I entered with an anticipating look and some expectations.The floor of the grave hall was two steps down from the corridor and door height.*Step*My feets stepped on the steps and walked down it as ripples appeared on the water.*Clank*The door to the hall had closed on its own as I glanced towards it.The hall was just as I saw months ago, filled with many shining decorates.The tree with branches made of cold marbles and the golden ribbons giving a final touch.The quiet atmosphere in the hall vanished with my steps moving towards the structure in the middle.The ripples caused by my movements echoed in the hall wit

What will you do when you see the ceiling above you collapse?Of course nothing.Because you won't have a chance.That's what happened to me. I didn't know how but it just happened.My mind blanked as my consciousness left.* * *How long has it been… I can't recall anything after what happened when the ceiling kissed my face.My eyes opened. Blue sky, white clouds that floated without any care just letting the winds take it along."What's going on?"I muttered. My body won't move no matter how I try to stand up.When my gaze fell on my body to find the reason, I was stunned.The steel rods which make the main support for the cement pillars, have pierced me.Not just on, but more than five. Three in the chest and two on my left

I stared at the setting sun from the broken window, it will soon get dark.Since the danger might rise at night, I planned to spend it here.I pulled a wooden table and broke it into small parts to use in making fire.The fire lit the entire room.I sat before the fire and held my knees. Lonely is the word to describe my feelings right now."I hope it's a dream. When I wake up, I want myself to be on a bed."I said with a bitter smile on my face.But I knew it wasn't one. I will never wake up on a bed and find that I was dreaming.My eyes slowly closed as I was tired and sleepy.*Thud*I didn't know when, but something had caught me and was pulling me down the stairs.Didn't I block the door with the sofas?As I looked to see what or w

Now that I check myself, I can say that I wasn't normal anymore.Superhuman strength, check.Inhumane regeneration, check.These two were not the only ones. With some more tries, I learned another ability.Thermal Vision, check.With this, I can see heat which is radiated by the living or non-living creatures.If I am not strong now. Then what was I even before?Sigh… I watched as the sunlight fell on the ruined city.I wasn't tired anymore. Didn't know why.'I guess because I died not long ago.'My leg had grown again from the lower portion. I am now not even surprised.But I was hungry. So I stepped out of the house and went outside with caution.What if there weren't any monsters roaming. No one knows when one might pop up fr

"Ha… Ha…"I was panting as I looked around to see that I had returned from the dream.It was weird.The dream looked so real. Almost as if I was actually living there."Floating White Island"I am on a gigantic island which is currently floating up in the sky far from land."Kabin Babur, the Emperor who built a palace here. But where is that palace?"I looked around and could only see destruction and ruins.Not a clue where the palace had gone.But I think I heard the voices say some important things about this Wonder.[Touch the Control Stone!][Take the ownership of this Wonder!][Shape the island as you want!]Unlike before, the voices didn't warn me of anything but were pushing me to touch that bl

I stared at the hall with bright eyes. Everything here was showing off the aura of pureness.There were ripples on the water surface as my feets moved forward.The whole place was so quiet that I heard the ripples of the water echoing.Even my own breathing was loud here.I looked at the tree-like decorations. Some gold ribbons also tied around them.I touched it and could feel the coldness through the black gloves."Haaa…"My own breath took over the sounds of ripples. My eyes scanned around and landed on the structure in the middle of the hall.I walked over the floor made of white marbles and the Emperor's tears of sadness.*Step*Few short stairs took me to the structure as I stopped before two graves.One was occupied with the deceased body of

"My King!"Adam and Eve, both found themselves in an unfamiliar hall.They looked around, everything was shining in white light of the marbles.And in front of them, was a huge man looking younger than them.He wore the white clothes with the touch of gold and he held a white scepter.When he spoke, their bodies moved on their own as if they belonged to him."You're Adam. And you, Eve."Adam and Eve nodded their heads as they were given their names.I gave a slight nod.How long am I going to talk to myself?My name is Birkangwra Basumatary.A citizen from India.* * *Birkang looked at the two as he stood up and walked towards the front hall.Following him, Adam and Eve didn't forget to glance
