2025-07-28 23:10:02"And now, what do I do?" Aiden thought, paralyzed by terror as he watched the monstrous creature approach with heavy steps that made the ground tremble beneath his feet. The air vibrated with each step, as if the earth itself was about to collapse. His wide, panic-stricken eyes locked onto the multiple heads of the abomination. Each one gleamed with fangs sharp as bloodied blades, dripping thick saliva that hissed upon touching the ground, leaving small smoking craters where it fell.
The beast looked at him with a mix of insatiable hunger and almost human sadism. "You won’t have the same luck as your friend," growled one of the heads in a guttural voice that seemed to resonate from the depths of hell, enveloping him in an unsettling echo. "I’ll devour you slowly, piece by piece, with each of my heads, savoring every scream of agony." The serpentine tongues of the heads slithered lasciviously over their fangs, anticipating the macabre feast that was about to begin.

Just as Aiden and Podbe were about to open the door, someone behind them spoke:“I’ve also been assigned to stay with you guys,” Riota said, accompanied by Akira and Diego, who carried their belongings with expressions that were both tired and curious.When they opened the door, all three were startled. From the darkness of the room, a calm but unsettling voice echoed:“Ah! It’s you… What are you doing here?” the voice said, freezing everyone in fear.Diego, visibly trembling, thought he had seen nightmares come to life among the shadows. However, when someone turned on the light, they discovered it was none other than Cain, sitting calmly on his bed while playing with threads of darkness that floated around him like invisible serpents.“Hey! Don’t do that. You almost gave Diego a heart attack!” Akira exclaimed, crossing his arms with a mix of frustration and relief. His tone was stern, but there was a hint of concern in his voice as he looked at Diego, who still seemed paralyzed with

“And where exactly are we going? That planet is enormous,” remarked the taller and more robust of the two figures, looking at the scientist with some impatience.The scientist responded without flinching: “That doesn’t matter. You’ll go to one of the active portals. Then, with this device, you’ll be able to locate another.”Without further explanation, both vanished from the lab in a flash of light.Moments later, they reappeared in what seemed to be an enormous ancient tomb, shrouded in mystery and shadows. Without wasting time, they began searching for an exit. As they moved forward, they encountered someone who addressed them with authority: “What are you doing here?”Both figures reacted swiftly, drawing futuristic pistols from their belts and firing without hesitation. The person who had confronted them turned out to be a guard of the site, who managed to call for reinforcements before being taken down. His colleagues arrived shortly after, but they were neutralized just as ea

“School?” the kids repeated as they climbed onto the bus that would take them to the location specified by Marie.Aiden boarded with Podbe and immediately headed to the back of the vehicle. He sat silently, gazing out the window while the dog rested at his feet. The others stole glances at him, some concerned, others curious. Aiden hadn’t been interacting much with the group in recent months, and his distant attitude was starting to generate murmurs. Some saw him as dark and mysterious, but others, like Cain and Hela, found his behavior intriguing. They decided to sit near him, exchanging knowing glances as they tried to start conversations that barely received responses.Riota, on the other hand, couldn’t shake off his guilt. He looked around, searching for Benjamin, but he was nowhere to be seen on the bus. “What if this is all my fault?” he thought, frustrated for not noticing sooner what was going on with his friend. Floud, oblivious to the general tension, sat next to him excited

Arc 2 - Lux SagaIt has been nearly a year since our heroes thwarted the evil plans of Milo, the man who called himself "Zeus." Though the world had been saved from the brink of disaster, not everything was joyous for them. The weight of what they had faced still echoed in their hearts, like the lingering reverberations of a battle that never fully fades.“Who made that noise?” I, the writer, asked, breaking the silence.“It was me,” replied a familiar voice, though it carried an irritating tone.“Oh, it’s you. What do you want now?” I inquired, frowning.“I see you were about to start with a bland time jump. You might as well leave this to me,” the voice interrupted, with an air of arrogance.“But I’m the writer,” I reminded, annoyed.“And I want to narrate,” came the unwavering reply. “But don’t worry, you’ll know who I am soon enough…”With a mix of frustration and curiosity, I relinquished control.So, let’s pick up where we left off. After their epic confrontation with their grea

"It works!" Adrian exclaimed as he saw the device fulfill its purpose. Without wasting a second, he increased the power from his wristband. Milo let out a blood-curdling scream as he collapsed to his knees, his trembling hands desperately trying to rip off the vest clinging to his body. "What… what is this?" he stammered in a broken voice, his arrogance crumbling along with his strength. "Why am I losing my powers?" His voice turned into a muffled groan before he collapsed completely, overcome by pain.The mighty enemy, Milo, fell unconscious onto the sweat- and dust-soaked ground. Finally, after so much effort, he was defeated."And you said my power was useless," Adrian remarked from his position, a triumphant smile spreading across his face. Rafael applauded in admiration, though his body still showed signs of exhaustion."Bootlicker," Akira muttered with a mocking smirk, but Becky only managed a small smile, too tired to make any biting remarks.<

"That's right," the man replied with a smirk dripping with arrogance as he crossed his arms over his chest. "It's me: Zeus." His voice echoed artificially, as if trying to mimic the very thunder of the heavens.Drake took a step forward, his boots crunching against the sandy ground. His expression hardened like stone under the dim twilight light. "Milo!" he growled, clenching his fists until his knuckles turned pale. "You again... And you even copied my face!"Milo—or Zeus—let out a low, mocking laugh, exhaling dramatically. "Of course, brother," he said with disdain, tilting his head slightly. "I made some... minor adjustments to carry out my plan." His eyes gleamed with malice as he spread his arms wide, relishing every moment of this dramatic scene. "But now, thanks to all of you, you’ve destroyed years of hard work. I’ll have to start over... though this time, you won’t be part of the equation."His smile twisted into a macabre grimace, and the surrounding air seemed to chill, cha
