What the fuck! It spoke... and it knows my name too. "Chris can't you talk, it chuckled slightly, or are you so afraid that you cannot handle what your seeing, hahahahahah."

I need to get away from this thing, please body obey me, i struggled to move, while maintaining eye contact with the demon as it continued chewing down on joy's body. Trying to get pull myself out of this fear by all means, i never saw the demon's attack coming, it casually hit me in the gut with one finger. I was sent flying backwards.

"Bam." My body slammed against the back of my truck. Immediately i coughed out blood, i pushed myself up to seat on the ground while groaning in pains, my vision slowly getting dark. I raised my eyes up, it was still smiling while looking at me. It's teeth bloodied and big enough to tear me apart in one attack.

For a moment i had given up, the Almighty has taken away his own, no more grace, saviour or mercy. What can i really do? There's no need fighting the impossible.

"Brother... Senior... My son... Always protect your family, Never back down until your dead, Fight until the bitter end brother." Dad, Mom, and my siblings i suddenly began hearing and seeing their images in my head.

"Hahaha, i laughed softly, i had just given up all hope and now you all are speaking to me. Even if i get back up... I cannot fight a demon, that only works in Hollywood movies... Ahhhh, i sighed as my vision slowly brightened up, damn it all am not dying yet, my family may still be out there, am sure of it. If i didn't make it then a few are still around too.

With my mind made up and will unshaken, i gathered what one might call strength from the unknown, and gradually i pulled myself to my feet."

The demon instantly brought it's claw down at me, somehow I rolled away as it's claw slammed deep into the ground cracking the concrete. Grabbing the grenade strapped to my waist, i unclipped it and sent it flying into the demon's mouth while it roared loudly at me. I dashed into my car quickly before it could explode, my leg already hitting down on that accelerator with haste.

"Boom." My car Shaked a little, i studied the destruction rate through my driver's mirror. The fence was taken down, half my house destroyed, couldn't really see if the demon died or took any damage due to the dark smoke.

Though it didn't really matter as long as it's not chasing after me. "Haaaa, i exhaled loudly, my mind was finally at peace for the meantime."

Now i need to find a stronghold, something capable of withstanding attacks from humans who would side with the demons and the demons themselves. But before that i need to find those of my family that were left behind.

It wasn't long i exited the streets into the highway. I was driving at almost a 100km, then i reduced it to half. The highway was already more chaotic than i expected, roadblocks mounted, I navigated them with speed and precision, burning cars, people running at every direction with their properties as much as they could carry.

I turned my eyes to the right side of the road, "people killing people, some killing themselves, others raping as much as they can, another group fighting the demons around them." The road was far from being safe. Quickly I held my gun with my left hand, and controlled my steering wheel with my right, i must be ready for action and combat. Today is no day to die!

I stepped on the accelerator, 60...70...75...80...88...98...103km. Finally after miles of hell, I came out to an open space on the road, no vehicles in sight, just a sweet evening breeze, and a setting sunset.

I grabbed my phone from the backseat, I dialed Dad's line.... No answer... Mom's Line it rang.... No answer... My grandparents it rang.... Still no answer.

"FUCk!!!!!!!!!" I slammed my hand against the dashboard multiple times... Please Jubi pick up, I dialed my brother's line, it went through but no answer, same response with the rest of my siblings... You possibly cannot be serious, am i the only one truly left? Tears rolled out my eyes, left alone in an apocalyptic world.

"Huh... Damn..." Everything is a fucking mess! Why the didn't i just die back there? Why did you all appear to me if am left alone!? What do i do now?

I slowed down while driving, just then my phone rang out, with haste i picked it up "Jubi calling." I answered, Jubi!! are you alright? No time to talk brother, Jubi answered, Dad, Mom, Nelson and Olivia were taken... I, Praise, Prestige, Prosper And You are all that remains... Come to the family house we are completely surrounded by dem.....

Jubi! Jubi!! Fuck! The line got disconnected. Am coming everyone just hold on for a little while.

  • Grade 4s

    The night air grew heavy as we split into two groups near the old Three Arms Zone. Red ritual lights pulsed from the Presidential Villa like infected veins. My blade hummed, its dark flames casting shifting shadows on my team's faces.Jubi, Prestige, Praise, and two others stayed with me. The rest — Debby, Dora, and Williams — would circle around to attack the outer ritual anchors. Dora squeezed my arm before leaving, her eyes fierce even with her limp."Don't you dare become one of them," she whispered."I'll try," I replied. The hunger laughed inside my chest.(Earlier while coming, we encountered a few people who were on the same mission as us.)We moved toward the Villa on foot, staying close to ruined pillars and overturned armored vehicles. The streets here were worse — paved with melted bone and glass. Every step crunched like walking on old graves. Skin-wearers patrolled in packs, but they scattered when they sensed us. They weren't the real danger.The real danger waited at t

  • He calls To Me

    The convoy slipped into the fractured outskirts of Abuja like ghosts entering a tomb. The red glow wasn't just light anymore—it pulsed like a living heart, casting long shadows that twisted into shapes better left unseen. Abandoned luxury cars sat half-melted on the expressway, their owners' bones picked clean and arranged in careful circles on the tarmac. The air tasted of copper and frankincense.Jubi killed the engine behind a collapsed flyover. "We walk from here, brother. Vehicles are too loud now."I nodded, gripping the hilt of my blade tighter. The dark flames licked along the edge, responding to my mood. The new strength from the Grade 3 hearts still buzzed in my blood, but with it came fragments—whispers of loyalty, flashes of ritual chambers deep beneath the city, and something worse: the Herald's face, smiling with too many teeth.Prestige checked her rifle. "The old woman said vessels. You think the Herald wants your body specifically?""Probably," I muttered. "Flame-bear

  • Crowning

    The convoy rolled forward under a bruised sky, the red glow of Abuja growing sharper with every kilometer. Dust and bone fragments swirled in our wake like restless spirits. Jubi kept humming an old Fuji tune, his voice low and rough. It helped cut through the heavy silence. Every few minutes, he glanced my way, checking if the hunger was rising again. I appreciated it more than I could say."Eyes on the road, brother," I muttered, forcing a half-smile. "Last thing we need is you driving us into a ditch while singing off-key."He chuckled. "Fuji got us through worse. Remember that time in Surulere when the power went out for three days and we danced through the night just to stay awake?"I nodded. Those memories felt like they belonged to another life — before the Rapture tore everything apart, before the lower-grade demons started wearing children's faces and the stronger ones began stealing human skin. Before I started eating demon hearts to survive.From the back, Prestige spoke u

  • The Blade And The Heart

    The convoy pushed deeper into the night. The ruined highway stretched out like a scarred vein beneath our tires. In the distance, Abuja's glow pulsed on the horizon — ugly red veins of light threading through the broken city outline, like something alive and breathing under the skin of the capital. It made my stomach twist.Kane's words echoed in my head with every heartbeat: circles drawn across the nation, hundreds sacrificed, kings being born from blood and ancient chants. The power he had given me — or rather, stolen — burned hotter in my veins the closer we got. It felt as if the power could smell the ritual smoke ahead.I've eaten a few demons, including the bastard at the military base, none threatened to break me, like kane's power is doing right now.I shifted uncomfortably in the passenger seat, trying to ignore how tight my bones felt under my skin. Jubi glanced over at me, his face half-lit by the dashboard lights. Sweat beaded on his forehead despite the cool night air co

  • No One Left Behind

    The convoy rumbled out of the compound gates as the sun bled low across the horizon, painting the ruined skyline in deep oranges and purples—colors too beautiful for a world this broken. I kept my eyes on the rearview mirror until the high walls disappeared behind overgrown bushes, that brief sanctuary fading like a half-remembered dream. For one day and night, we had enjoyed roofs that didn't leak blood, food that didn't come from a can opened in panic, and sleep that wasn't stolen in shifts. Now the road called us back, hungry as the things stalking it.Jubi drove with his injured arm stiff in the sling, but his good hand gripped the wheel steady. The armored car bounced over cracked asphalt and fallen branches, every jolt sending fresh aches through my healing ribs. Kane's power still churned inside me—warm, insistent, whispering strength but also stirring that deeper hunger. I could feel my muscles twitching sometimes, as if they wanted to tear through my skin and become someth

  • The Gardener's Oath

    The first light of dawn crept through the cracked windows like a thief, pale and hesitant, painting the dusty bedroom in shades of gray.I hadn't slept more than an hour or two. My body was too wired from Kane's power, and my mind kept replaying his final whisper about being a gardener in Heaven. That shit gnawed at me. What if some of these demons truly weren't monsters by choice? And here I was, ripping out their hearts and swallowing them like street food.My hands flexed on the hilt of my blade, still resting across my chest. The dark flames had cooled to embers, but the hunger... it was louder now. Deeper. Like something inside me was waking up and demanding more.Down the hall, I heard movement. Jubi's low groan as he shifted on his mattress. Dora murmuring something to Prosper. The soft pad of bare feet on tile—Prestige, probably checking on everyone like she always did. Family. Broken, bleeding, but still holding on in this godforsaken world.I pushed myself up, ribs aching bu
