“I hate you.”“As you should.”“I will kill you.”“As was intended.”“And I won’t ever forgive you for this.”“Who cares about that?”With no other choice, I reached out and pulled out the knife from the wall.Despite how easily it entered, it wasn’t loose in the slightest.It was stuck, almost like it had been embedded by a strong man.Such was the strength of the casual throw of a Demigod.If it were a human, they would already be dead with the knife piercing completely through their body and escaping from the opposite direction.It was obvious he barely used any strength to throw the knife but that was beside the point.As I pulled it out of the area it was stuck, I turned to him, fuming at the fact that I had no choice but to do as he instructed.“Stop wasting my time, girl. Come over here and do what I asked else be prepared for what is to come!” Hamilton said with a cold tone.It seemed he had reached the edge of his patience.Obviously I didn’t care what he’d do to me but mom…s

It felt like my body was no longer mine to control in the first place.“Was it ever though?” Hamilton asked.I glared at him. “Let me go!”Hamilton grinned wickedly. “Why?”“You can’t do this.” I spat venomously but he didn’t seem to care as he stared at me like some sort of pathetic dog.Was that how he saw me?I hate you!I tried to struggle, if anything, I just didn’t want my body to remain under his will and so with everything I could muster within me, I dared to move and actually managed to take a step forward.I didn’t forget to catch the look of utter shock on Hamilton’s face as he saw me move despite his pressure on me.“You….” He trailed off as eyes grew wider and wider until… he burst into laughter. “Impressive, impressive indeed. I knew I wasn’t wrong when I chose you to become the one that would kill me. You are indeed worthy, no-one else. That defiance against me that is even greater than anything I could have ever imagined. That is indeed what I want and today you gave p

I couldn’t reply even though I the answer…or at least I think I did.The Otherworldly are a strange race.From the day they arrived in our world with the Fog till now, we haven’t still Ben able to figure them out.There are several theories explaining them, like they are aliens from another planet seeking to dominate our world.Or that they were aliens from a destroyed world, arrived here to have another place to call their own.So many.The funniest would from the Hope Church which states that the Otherworldly are demons sent to wipe out humanity and that only by faith and believing in the words of the Creator would we be able to survive the calamity to enter a new world.All in all, no-one really knows what the Fog is and where the Otherworldly come from.They are mysterious entities with a strange background.Of course, I could say that we understand enough to be able to use their bodies in serums to gain abilities but is it really safe?Especially after considering what I experien

“Leah… what happened to you?” I couldn’t help but ask.Even though I was terrified by the Call of Chaos and it’s effects, I was worried about her.How did she turn out like this.Her words, her way of speaking… everything was different from what I was used to.“I need to sleep now, Jerry. As you can tell from my voice, I am quite exhausted.” Leah said, not bothering to answer my question. “We will talk later.”With that, I didn’t hear her voice again.I wanted to call out or even say something to her but… I didn’t know what to say.Did I even have the right to say anything?I couldn’t tell anymore.With no other choice, I laid on the floor and waited patiently for the Call of Chaos to come.For now, I could only allow her rest.It won’t be too late to talk about it later… hopefully.As I closed my eyes, I meditated.I didn’t know for how long but after some time, I heard it.Even though it wasn’t audible at first, I knew for a fact that it was the so called Call of Chaos.Gritting my

“A…friend.” Leah muttered softly.Was it a new word for her?For me, I never really understood the concept of friendship or relationships as a whole.But I knew that a person had to mean something special to me to be regarded as a friend.If I forgot everyone else, I’d never be able to forget them.Leah, Reginald and Lincoln.More so, Leah since she was the first person to leave an impression on me.I was happy about the relationship we shared and I was proud to know that we had such a relationship.Her bubbly attitude despite her cold appearance.Her lovely smile despite her usually chill demeanor.That was the Leah I knew.The one I was talking with now .. she was empty.I couldn’t even draw a comparison between the Leah of then and the one with me right now.My mind would immediately reject the present Leah because she was nothing like how I remembered.No, she was too different for me to acknowledge.Leah seemed to have understood this as she muttered. “…it’s Hamilton. He is the c

I guess the reason they gave such pathetic meals was because they didn’t want to waste food on a potential monster.Only if you completed the trial would you be able to eat good food… so survive.It was that simple.I’m sure everyone else had already figured it out.Sighing helplessly, I finally finished the musty bread and drank the last drop of water before placing the glass back on the table and shoving the tray aside.Resting my back against the wall, I began to meditate to recover my mental state.Just then, a soft voice came across. “Jerry, are you there?”I opened my eyes and glanced at the place I considered Leah was seated.I moved over and once I was around the estimated area, I replied.“Yeah… what about you?”A moment later and she replied. “Yeah.”Just like that, I and Leah spent 2 months in the isolation center, enduring the torture of the Call of Chaos while forging our relationship.During the time period, I wondered… what were the others up to anyways?***(Reginald’s

The Headmaster glanced back at us and muttered. “Be careful. This floor has a chill that is not just bad on the body.”I was left unsure of the meaning behind his words as he began to move forward.Following closely behind, I nudged Lincoln as I asked. “Do you understand what he means?”“No.” Lincoln shook his head. “I have no idea but from the way he said it… it doesn’t sound good.”Gulping nervously, I nodded in agreement before glancing at Veronica.After the others had left, with us three remaining, you’d think that we would grow closer but that was the opposite.She was even more distant than ever even though we had spent the most time together.The only person she acknowledged was Jerry and it was for good measure but it felt weird that someone we had stayed with for so long would be more than a stranger to us.But then again, there was no reason to judge her.Just as I had my principles, she must have hers.In any case, the walk from the elevator was a silent one.Most of the f
