" Death, they say, is a time of rest for everyone. But I have to admit, I felt terrible when I died... I must sound crazy, I know, but what comes next is even crazier.

A few days ago, I was in a car accident and died. And then, I found myself in a dark place. It was the darkest thing I had ever seen. I couldn't even see myself. I took a few steps, but the darkness persisted. I kept moving... I must have taken more than a thousand steps. Still, no sign of light.

I tried to recollect how I ended up there and that's when it hit me—I was dead. The last sound I remembered was that of my car, colliding with a tree. I called out for anyone to hear, but no one did. There was no echo of my voice. I lingered there for a while and then started counting.

I counted until I lost track of numbers. Sleep had left me. I felt no desire to eat, relieve myself, or anything... I had lost all hope. I thought I would be trapped in that eternal darkness, eventually losing my sanity. It was dreadful.

But suddenly, I saw a light. In the center of that light stood a being. He asked me to follow him, and I did. At that point, I didn't care about his appearance. He was like my savior and angel, so I followed him blindly.

You know what happened next? That deceiver led me to hell, where I witnessed countless souls enduring torment for their sins. The sight was horrifying. In that moment, a thought gripped me—was this my fate? Staying in that darkness would have been better than suffering for eternity.

The being turned to me and called my name. He asked if I knew why I died and why I ended up in hell. I couldn't answer. Then he revealed the reason for my demise, which exceeded my expectations.

I couldn't believe it: my friend Sam had sabotaged the brakes of my car, causing the accident, and stole the artifact we took from a cult, leading me to hell. Why hell? I wasn't that bad. Stealing is wrong, I admit, but is it still wrong to steal from bad people? However, the truth about the cause of my death was worse than hell itself.

My so-called friend, Sam, intentionally caused the accident and stole the artifact, leaving me to die. Some of us are living with demons disguised as humans.

I know you must be wondering how a living person can speak of being dead. Well, as I mentioned earlier, I made a deal with this being, the devil himself. He promised to restore my life if I agreed to retrieve the stolen artifact and return it to the cult.

Who wouldn't want to have a second chance at life? I accepted the deal. However, I had only thirty days to recover the artifact, or else I would face death again. The next thing I knew, I found myself in another dark place. But this time, it was a cramped space.

Once I regained my senses, I realized I was in a coffin. Miraculously, I was breathing again, feeling alive. With all my strength, I broke free from the coffin and managed to dig my way out of the grave. My suit was filthy, so I discarded it, replaced it with clothes from another man's grave.

From there, I headed straight home. I yearned to see my wife and son, to hold them in my arms once more. But when I arrived and saw my son, I couldn't approach him. How could I explain to him that his dead father had come back to life to embrace him?

Suddenly, my son's instincts took over, and he turned to face me. He stood there, fixated on me for a moment. Then, he turned and ran away. Well... that's what I deserved. How could I have expected my son to run toward a ghost?

However, I might really become a ghost if I don't find that artifact soon. It's time to

pay that son of a bitch a visit."

Rowan took a deep breath, thinking how he was to find the artifact as he was desperate to escape his fate. He also contemplated whether to return or leave those from his past behind. The urgency and frustration boiling within him. However, his attention shifted to the woman lying next to him, a temporary companion he had booked for the night.

"Hey, are you still awake?" he inquired, receiving no response from her.

"Right... why would the living care about a mundane tale of death?" Rowan mused, pulling the blanket away from his body.

"Good night, sugar," he whispered to the silent room as he made his way out.

...

Meanwhile, in another scene, a fat man sat on a bed surrounded by four women, their gentle touches providing fleeting sensations of pleasure. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of a passing shadow beyond the window. Instantly, his excitement shifted to fear. The girls sensed his change in demeanor and, in turn, became frightened. The silence was shattered by noises emanating from within the house.

Alert and armed with a pistol wich was hidden beneath his pillow, the man cautiously approached the source of the commotion. Another shadow flitted past, causing a startled reaction. "Hello? Is anyone there?" he called out, met only with silence.

Continuing onward, his eyes widened in shock when he saw the person behind the shadows. Suddenly, the girls in the room heard their client's cries and the subsequent gunfire. Hastily grabbing their dresses, they slipped away unnoticed.

In the shadowed corner, the fat man remained, his gaze fixed upon another figure. "Hello, Sam... it's been a while," the figure greeted, their voice calm yet chilling.

Sam struggled to form a coherent response, his words escaping him gradually. "H-how... are you... still alive?"

  • THE FALL OF LEVIATHAN

    Rowan's heart pounded in his chest as he faced off against the towering figure of Leviathan. The dark figure seemed to radiate power and malice, but Rowan refused to back down. He knew he had to buy time for his shadow powers to charge up, and he relied on his speed and agility to keep him out of harm's way.Leviathan swung a massive fist towards Rowan, but with lightning-fast reflexes, Rowan dodged the attack, narrowly avoiding being crushed, thanks to his shadow lightning. The force of Leviathan's punch sent shockwaves through the ground, causing rocks to fly in all directions."You're just a runner, not a fighter," Leviathan taunted, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Once I'm done taking over this city, I'll move on to the next, until the whole world is mine."Rowan gritted his teeth, refusing to let Leviathan's words weaken his resolve. He continued to dodge and slice at Leviathan's feet, causing the giant figure to roar in pain. Leviathan noticed that he was slower in his giant

  • FINAL BATTLE

    As Rowan, Ajatar, and Josh stepped outside with the military commander, they were hit with a sight they never thought they'd see. The transformed people were now overtaking the streets and multiplying like a swarm of zombies. The soldiers on the ground kept firing their guns at them, but they just kept rising, relentless in their pursuit. "Damn it," the military captain muttered, "we need to evacuate everyone right away."Rowan knew he had to act quickly. He created a shadow wall between the demons and civilians, trying to hold them back as much as possible. He knew he couldn't hold it for long, but it was the only option he had at that moment. "Captain, focus on evacuating everyone," Rowan said, his voice urgent, "I'll hold them off for as long as I can."The captain nodded and immediately turned to his team, barking out orders to evacuate everyone as quickly and safely as possible. Rowan focused on maintaining the shadow wall, but he knew it wouldn't last forever. He could already

  • END OF REYNOLD

    Rowan was currently heading to Captain Reynold's office. In a fit of fury, Rowan stormed through the corridors of the building, his footsteps echoing loudly against the stone walls. His mind raced with anger and confusion as he approached Captain Reynold's office. Guards stationed outside the door instinctively moved to block his path, their hands gripping their guns tightly."Stand aside!" Rowan bellowed, his voice filled with venom. "I need to speak with Captain Reynold immediately!"The guards hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to handle Rowan's sudden aggression. But before they could react, Rowan raised his hands, summoning his shadow powers. The darkness around him seemed to come alive, swirling and shifting until it took the form of several sharp shadow spears."Move or suffer the consequences," Rowan threatened, his eyes glowing with a dangerous intensity.Realizing the gravity of the situation, the guards quickly stepped aside, fear etched across their faces. Rowan wasted

    " That's one of your setbacks, Josh." Ajatar interrupted Josh. " You don't believe in yourself. You can hardly make up your mind. You feel like you are not good enough." She added." Am I?..." Josh asked.Ajatar never replied, she just leaned in and kissed Josh.Josh's eyes widened. " Woah!" He exclaimed. " I know it is not your first kiss, but I hope I did great." Ajatar asked." Yeah sure, that felt great." Josh commented, looking down, scared of making eye contact." I know you must miss her." Ajatar stated.Josh sighed, " yeah I do miss her, and am sure she misses me too." He lamented.The two parties were silent for a while before Josh broke the silence. " You know, I had always thought you hated me." He said.Ajatar sighed, " I must admit that at first, I hated you, but I didn't hate you in particular, I hated all holy beings. I saw them as beings full of pride. But after living with you all this while, I saw humility for the first time in a holy being." She explained." Can I

  • THE PRANK

    Rowan, Ajatar, Max and Josh, were currently enjoying their stay in Los Angeles. The authorities had looked for a foster mother for the orphan baby. As they all felt relaxed, a soldier suddenly showed up. He told Rowan that there was an emergency, stating that a group of transformed people had broken into the walls of the city. Rowan rushed out, the sword in his arm at the ready. The rest of the group followed behind.Upon arrival, Rowan saw five transformed people, attacking the city. The soldiers shot their bullets, but no weapon could kill those demons except the sword Rowan was carrying. Rowan quickly ran towards the commotion and quickly chopped off the body parts of the demons. The demons quickly fell down and died. However, the last one was proving difficult to kill as he had super speed abilities. Unfortunately, he couldn't fly and could only use his feet to be fast, so Rowan spreaded his shadow on the ground, making the demon's movement slower. The demon recognized the a

  • THREE BEAUTIES (TWO)

    The group of guards stood on the watchtower, looking out for any sign of transformed people to gun them down before they spread the disease. Suddenly, they saw three pregnant women approaching. The guards looked at each other, thinking about how weird the situation was. As the women got closer, they grew uglier and uglier. When the three women got close enough to the gates, the guards asked them to halt and asked what was their mission. One of the youngest women stepped in front and replied that they needed a place to stay and safely give birth. The guard asked if they were infected and she refuted. The guard asked why the woman's voice sounded strange. And she said she had a cough. The guard asked them to wait. As they waited, a small part of the gate opened, and a guard came out with a cross, then he pointed it in front of each and everyone of them. He concluded that the women were not infected as they didn't react to the cross. He asked them to go in. As the woman walked toward
