The city's school itself was a modern structure with modern designs, mosaic tiles at the entrance, and windows reflecting the rays of the African sun. Students buzzed through corridors painted in flaking beige, and a yellowish school bell hung like a tired relic at the centre of the school’s compound.

The building is made up of three floors: the first floor is for year one students, the second floor is for year two students while the third floor is for year three students, with a big hall located at the bottom (first) floor.

Agaba’s reputation wasn’t great. He was a benchwarmer on the school football team, the default last-minute substitute for a defender no one liked. He’d been humiliated twice before - once when some bullies dumped him into a trash bin and the recordings of the incident leaked, another when a short clip of him circulated in the school’s WhatsApp page with the caption: Benchwarmer General.

  • The Weight of Destiny

    A shiver ran down Agaba’s spine as he recounted the fateful day his destiny was forever sealed. “…my father took me to the sacred cottage, a tradition passed down through generations. But nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. As I stood gazing at the spectacular appearance of the Echor, the ancient stone cracked open, and I was suspended in mid-air, my body sliced apart by an unseen force…”. Agaba’s eyes seemed to gaze into the depths of his soul. “…my father witnessed a vision of the gods themselves dismantling my body, infusing me with the raw power of the elements. They prophesied that the seal would break during my lifetime, and I must master all seven natural elements before the impending catastrophe. For the past year, I’ve been training relentlessly, honing my skills to face the unimaginable challenges ahead…”. A hint of trepidation crept into Agaba’s voice. “… my uncle warned me that Agaba and his minions may return, more powerful than ever, after spendin

  • Shadows of Revelation

    Under the veil of darkness, Adejor and his fellow cult members converged on the outskirts of town, their shadows dancing in the flickering torchlight.

Akan and his assistant, Fumi, a mysterious and enigmatic woman from Lagos, remained in the room, their eyes fixed on the u
