Darkness. Nothing but darkness existed around. Deep, thick darkness that circled the entire space seeable by one swallowed in it.

David floated in the centre of it, his eyes shut and his arms clasped tight to his body. He had his legs crouched and glued to his body too. He was wrapped like a foetus in a womb, being the only visible thing in the darkness.

He suddenly began to twitch. He began to fidget. He tilted his head in one direction then another, he was having a nightmare.

"Wake up." A voice kept resounding in his head and he felt pain. His heart raced fast as if he was in an high octane race. This had gone on like forever and he couldn't help it anymore.

"Leave me alone." He yelled and a shockwave emitted from him, traversing the void he existed in. He freed his limbs and his naked body began to drop slowly. As his feet felt the substance of a base or floor, his eyes opened and was welcomed to nothing but darkness. He didn't say anything. He only reminisced on how he had jus

  • Mortal Imperfection

    The lab went quiet as Gandu left for the basement, returning moments later with a map in his grip. He placed it on the centre of the table, all eyes pinned on what he presented. "See. This is deep into the continent. Known by the inner indigenes there." He spoke, pointing at the highlighted spot on the map.…"Eldahor.""I think I've heard of that place once. My parents once left for a pilgrimage when I was younger but I had no idea about the place, only the name." Meena spoke. "Good." He nodded, then faced David. "We need to get Solomon's mat or carpet or whatever the fuck they call it. We get it, dissect or tear it into bits and pieces then merge those parts with the gears I've been working on." He stated. David nodded, he understood his mission. The rest wondered why he faced David alone and not them, then he dropped his reason. "David you'll have to go alone. We don't know how much longer the Void will take to attack us again or his dark army (if he still has more). So to save t

  • Good news?

    Gandu walked into his residence, tired and weak. It had been a long day, one that ended with sorrow. Sorrow he never wished for in the first place. He did not care much for the deceased, but he was his customer and as a trader, the mutual respect sought his obligation to mourn the dead. Despite the fact that the town was still empty because of the evacuation from earlier, he never bothered stay at the lab after helping to treat Dana. There was a lot of work expecting him and work wasn't what he needed. It was sleep. As he crashed on the bed, burying his face into the soft cushioning, he groaned, his ears picking up a familiar presence."Go away." He groaned, his face still buried in the clothing. "I need your help." David spoke. Gandu, obviously annoyed, rose and faced the man, giving him a look of displeasure. "What do you want this time?" He asked. "I need you to help me study the dark fairies that are currently maimed. I have them captured inside the lab. I believe we can cure

  • When Push comes to shove, Just remember…

    Eden sat alone in the dimly lit room, his massive frame hunched over, shoulders trembling. The silence around him was suffocating, broken only by the shallow rhythm of his breath. His eyes, reddened and hollow, stared at the floor as if trying to summon his brother’s shadow back from the void. Every memory ate at his chest, his brother’s laughter, the promises they made, the last look before the end. He gripped his Bedsheet, his hands shaking, heart breaking. No roar could express the ache within.He glanced at the wall, on it was his brother's old quiver, mounted on it like a trophy. Since the tragedy, he only withdrew to himself, acknowledging only himself and his grief. He blamed every one, including himself, wishing he had made different decisions, even way back since they were kids. "Maybe he would still be alive." He thought, ending that stream of memories and wishes, but the reality still faced him…his brother was dead and he was here. All he could do was to honour his memo

  • Finally Broken

    David stood on top of the building he resided in Ladus, staring deep into the night's sky. His mind was still dazed by the events of the past day. Him losing two lifelines between minutes, the realisation of his cosmic alter ego hunting him across every realm and the fact that he had just lost a dear friend made him numb. He stood in silence, thoughts flowing through him like a turbulent river. The solitude he relished dominated him, giving him a sense of calm to complement his sorrow.His system interface popped up, indicating he had leveled up to level 38. He frowned, yelling, "So this was what you meant by stopping the void? The one time you give me a quest that doesn't explicitly tell me to kill, you instead ensure my friend is killed. Fucking tell me, what's the point of this system?" He asked. The interface remained stagnant, no replies typing forth like it would. He squeezed his fists, anger quickly building in him. "So this is it. You wanted to break me, just as you have ev

  • I Am The One Beyond All.

    David sighted the desert before Ladus, depressing himself gradually till his feet touched the sand. He ran quickly to his friends, who all shared gloom looks with Audrey too. His face squeezed, wondering if something bad had happened. He did not utter a word, but he proceeded, observing the silence they embodied. He counted mentally, relief gradually washing over him until he realised it."Where is Eder?" He asked lowly. They did not hear his question. Well, he only spoke to himself, struggling to believe what had just popped up in his head. He looked devastated, each step of his now slow. Finally Audrey noticed him, shouting "David." He stopped behind them, watching as they mourned the empty sand. He fell on his knees, a tear dropping from an eye. The immense sorrow filling his heart was turbulent, breaking every emotional barrier he had on his grief. He wanted to cry. He had just lost a friend. But he didn't—he knew that he had to be strong for them.He rose, watching the sand

  • The Void Won.

    Audrey grabbed her sword, heading for the door. The Doctor tried to overlap her but Gandu grabbed her, stopping her in her tracks. "Let the kid do what she does well. None of us can fight those things. She's our best chance." He stated. She sighed, perhaps there was some truth in his words. Audrey neared the door, the heavy thuds now reduced. It was as though they sensed her presence, now baiting her. She put her hand on the lash, taking a deep breath. She flipped it open and a spurt of dark matter emitted from her sword, bursting through the wave of Fairies. She jumped forth, plunging into their mist while the wave of energy rushed forth, affecting every fairy around them. She stopped—a path had already been cleared. No, every fairy hunting her had died. Somehow, the blast radius from her sword had widened, adopting a massive kill effect. Both adults emerged from the basement, flabbergasted by the number of dead dark fairies spread across the floor. "You two should check on t
