Blaze scratched his head. "I don't understand this well. Just tell me how I can help." "Just stay close to me, and don't try to kill the freaks. I observed that the victim condition of abductees in each room has been getting more severe. A few tiny monsters latched onto Ivy. A giant freak attacked you. A sentient eye creature has possessed Cory and Jackie. I fear the next room would be worse, with a more evolved being." The hulk nodded. "You're right. I realize now I wouldn't have lasted more than half an hour. So, what do you suggest?" Pan pointed to the exit ahead. "Why don't you go to the next room? I will handle this eye monster. Since we don't have time, it is better to split up." Blaze shrugged. "I hate to leave you alone. But it's your call." The hulk went in a circle to avoid running into his possessed siblings and entered the next chamber. Pan walked closer to Cory and Jackie until they noticed his presence. "Ah, Pan!" Jackie said in an eerie dual-toned voice. "See
Pan, Jackie, and Cory went through the next door to find themselves in a dark tunnel. The fog had thinned, and the temperature was warmer. The group walked silently, their bare feet pattering on the wet floor. About a hundred feet away, light shone at the end of the tunnel. Pan and Cory tried hard not to turn their heads and check out Jackie. The girl had insisted that she walk behind them. Even in pitch-black darkness, you couldn't trust boys. The wrong thing might bump into the right place. They were midway when a tiny creature hopped in front of them. Jackie gave out a yelp and turned to run. Was it one of the freak monsters? Pan and Cory prepared to kick it into a pulp. "It's okay, children," the creature said. "Calm down. It's me." An orb of light emanated from its paw and lit up the cave. Suddenly aware of their nudity, the teenagers covered up their private parts with their hands. "Felix!" Pan exclaimed. "What the fuck is going on? Why are you liaisons trying to kill us
High on a mountain peak, a man sat under an ancient elder tree in deep meditation. His eyes were shut and an onlooker would think he was no longer alive. The man’s body was powerfully built, dressed in ancient armor and mail, exuding power and domination. Vines entwined around him and flowers grew out of his armor, making the spectacle extremely bizarre. It was a bright but cool morning, and nature was in perfect harmony. Insects raked, birds sang, and animals joined the chorus. Nobody would expect what universe-altering event was about to happen. The man was old indeed, but only of age. He had lived for centuries and yet had the physical constitution of a forty-year-old man in his prime. His aura was thick and divine like a god. He was, in simple terms, an immortal. The tiny planet, Erode, was his sanctuary and prison. It was a quarter the size of the Earth’s moon. One could drive around the planet’s circumference in a day. It had a modest blue sea and two new-fold mountain ran
Karina leaned forward, making a slutty display of her yawning cleavage. “I believe you are a god hyped by ecstatic followers. I think you got lucky in your battles. Besides, your powers must have diminished in seclusion. Once I eliminate you, I will consume your divinity and take your throne. Then I will be welcomed in the assembly of gods as one among them…” Eros sighed again. ‘Foolish girl,’ he thought. ‘The assembly of gods has sent you as a desperate ploy…’ “Sweet Goddess, I would gladly give away my powers. But they are too tremendous and extensive to be contained in your fragile body. Therefore, your adventure must end here. I intend to spend eternity here in my prison. In fact, I would advise you to keep your distance, lest you should be affected by my powers. Be gone!” Goddess Karina threw back her head and laughed with disdain. Her breasts shuddered like mountains, and her belly button quivered like a volcano. “I am not scared of you, old man,” she fired back, leavi
Pan Osbourne was optimistic today. He was eighteen, and it was his first day at Cloyster Academy of Technology. Even though he was poor and likely to be mistreated, he was still excited to learn and get ahead in life. The boy had been looking forward to this day after graduating from high school. The latter had been a nightmare. Pan’s wealthy classmates enjoyed torturing and humiliating him. They would burn his books, spill water on his homework, throw his lunch to the dogs, fill his desk with cat turds, and so on. He could not complain to authorities because nobody cared about helping a poor kid. The rich bullies always got away. Pan’s treatment was not so different at home. His parents died in a car crash when he was a baby and since then his uncle’s family adopted him. However, they treated him like a servant. His elder cousin brother, two older sisters, and one younger sister, were all given special treatment while Pan was considered a humiliation to the family. They mad
Pan was sent to the medical wing, where Nurse Jane patched him up. “You shouldn’t try to stand out, little guy,” she advised him. “Government regulations give us the right to go to schools and colleges, but we must keep our mouths shut until we graduate.” Pan figured she had been a sponsored student as well. But he wasn’t paying much attention to her. Part of him wanted to kill Gergich, while the other part was staring down the nurse’s huge cleavage. He felt guilty for both actions but couldn’t help himself. ‘What’s wrong with me these days?’ he wondered. ‘I’m not able to focus on studies. Something seems to be calling to me.’ “Everybody knows that ultimately we will join the menial labor force,” Jane concluded. “Trying to act smart or attempting to mix with blue bloods will only get you hurt.” “What about cheek?” he asked, wincing. Jane smiled and gave him a peck on his injured cheek. “You’re a handsome, healthy boy. The injury will heal soon.” *** When Pan returned to cl
“Pan Osbourne, right?” Jessica asked cheerfully, walking ahead of him in the corridor. It was a windowed passage that led to the college gymnasium. Ample sunlight lit the entire length of the gallery. “That’s correct.” “Ah, then Leo Osbourne is your brother?” Leo was twenty-two and in his third year at Cloyster Academy. He was the Student President of the academy, and a popular figure for his good looks and grades. Compared to his brother, Pan was a nobody. “Yeah… He is…” Did Jessica want to use him to get to Leo? “Your parents are elite suppliers of construction equipment, aren’t they?” Pan nodded. His parents started the business when they were alive. It was taken over by his uncle shortly after their untimely deaths. “Yeah, but I am not a part of the main Osbourne family. I work there as a servant.” “I see…” “Can I say something, Jessica?” Pan posed. “Go ahead.” “Umm, you are quite popular. I hate to say it… but you should not be seen with me. Since I’m fr
Pan tried to get up, but Marc stepped on his chest, pinning him down. “Where do you think you’re going?” “Please, let me leave,” he begged. The group exchanged glances and snickered. “Oh, you are a busybody, aren’t you? Going to hide under your brother’s shadow?” “You’re pathetic even as an Osbourne!” Jerry said with a sneer. More laughter followed. “I-“ “Shut up, bitch!” Roonie fired. “Explain why you were trying to act smart today in class!” Pan folded his hands. “I’m sorry. Professor Gergich punished me for it. I won’t do it again!” Marc took the foot off his chest, and Pan struggled to his feet. But there was no path to escape. The group surrounded him, and a couple of them spat at him. He wiped the spit off his arms. Anger welled up in him, but what could he really do? “Marc,” Mindy said. “I saw him following Jessica just now.” The Class President’s eyes flared. “What! Is that true, bitch?!” “No! She asked me to follow her.” The group broke out in laughter. “
