Although, Adrian was just testing him because he wanted to be certain if Daniel was no longer the person he used to be, but that didn’t stop him from being shocked, when he realized that he was nowhere to be found, and even the card.

“No. No, this can’t be.” He muttered under his breath.

But before anything else could happen, he heard the sound of someone, flushing, and he became at alert as he fixed his eyes at the door, to be certain that someone who wasn’t meant to be there, wasn’t there.

As the door opened, his eyes fluttered, and jerked his head, back, a bit.

“Daniel, what are you doing there?” Adrian asked.

“I went to use the restroom, because you were taking too long to get back, and I couldn’t wait. And yes, I picked up your black card along with me, just so anyone who comes in, like the delivery man, wouldn’t pick it up, instead.” Daniel uttered as he stepped outside, looking relieved.

Adrian couldn’t help but chuckle, because he had for once thought that Daniel had taken the

    Adrian wasn’t comfortable with the task, and he didn’t know how to go about it.“How do you expect I as a human being, to get to the Mystical Forest?” Adrian questioned the system. YOU AREN’T GOING THERE AS ORDINARY AS YOU THINK. YO’LL BE GOING THERE AS A CAPABLE MAN, BUT IT ALSO DEPENDS ON YOUR THINKING FACULTY.Adrian saw it as an insult, but he decided to wave it off, because it was nothing more than a system.“Goodness.” He uttered under his breath, then he put a call through to Theresa whom he had exchanged contacts with.“Have you finally made a decision?” Theresa asked, hoping it was a positive answer, because she knew Adrian.She knew that if he had made up his mind not to help, there was nothing on earth that would make him change his mind.“I have agreed to go. We move by dawn.” He uttered, over the phone, with an aura of seriousness.~It was dawn already, and was time for them to set out for their journey. If it was an outing, Theresa would have been so excited about it,

    Theresa and Adrian couldn’t help but admit within themselves that they were overwhelmed by fear. Adrian knew how dangerous the journey was, and this made him even more scared.“Well, hello.” The man spoke, in an eerie tone.“Who the hell are you?” Adrian managed to question him, as they were both wary of him.“A question which actually isn’t the major concern. But I’ll tell you one thing. If you dare try to escape, because it’s only expected of you to want to run from me, you won’t be able to get to the Mystical Forest.”“Uhn!” Adrian exclaimed softly, not knowing whether to believe the man or not.“Yeah. To make things more understandable for you, I am the passage to the Mystical Forest, which only means without me, you can’t go into the Mystical Forest. So, now, I hope you know that it is only unwise of you to run from me. And if you have enough time to waste, you can actually run from me, and when you realize you’ve been wasting your time, you’ll come back, and definitely meet me h

    Adrian couldn't understand the fear and anxiety filling him up. It was just too much, and even though this wasn’t the first time he was faced with situations that seemed a bit dangerous, but this one was on a different level.That whispering voice that told him that his fears were not twisting lies in his head, but trying to bore the truth into him.Something really awful could happen, and he felt he might be unable to escape it with Theresa by his side. Either way, he hated the feeling. The whole place spoke, and gave an aura of power, dark power, and it boasted too easily of how they could get killed. It was the main reason for his fears. The man looked at them, and even without the features on his face, he was somehow able to tell that he had a smile on. Then, Adrian looked at Theresa. She also seemed lost in thoughts, and it would be the best time to try to convince her, but she would despise him for it.To him, it was better he carried out her wish, than to let his fear get the

    It wasn't just Adrian who felt the tendrils of fear squeezing his heart. Theresa felt it too, and it felt like her chest was on fire, just from wondering what would happen. The mere terror that the clanging sound generated made her heart beat faster at every clang. It was too much for her to handle. She looked around repeatedly, and the soft wind whipped her hair into her face, which she brushed back with both hands. Already, her palms were cold and sweaty, and the anxiety was just too much. She needed the suspense to be over. “What do you think that is?” She asked Adrian, still looking around, trying to guess what could be the reason for the weird sound. “I have no idea.” Adrian replied, as the sound grew louder. “We should… I think we should move on.” Theresa suggested, wanting to make a move. It was so obvious that whatever was approaching them with the weird sound wasn't single. It wasn't two, nor was it three. It was definitely a lot.“I say we wait.” Adrian replied, pulling

    They fell mercilessly, hitting the rough edges, getting bruises all over. Theresa landed on the ground with her head in an awkward position, before straightening up, and looking at Adrian, who was sprawled on the ground, breathing hard, as he looked up at the sky. Theresa looked around. Apparently, they had fallen in some kind of hole. Due to taking quick hasty breaths, the dust managed to get into her nose, and she sneezed hard. Both Adrian and Theresa then heard the strange buzzing sound, and Theresa covered her mouth, only for another sneeze to come tthrough.Theresa sneezed again, and Adrian scrambled to his fist to cover her mouth. Theresa held his hand there, willing herself not to sneeze. Eventually, she let out a tiny one, and with her eyes watering, she looked around, taking Adrian’s hands off her mouth. Everywhere was dusty. It was probably because they had fallen through it. All the dust seemed to be settling. “What do we do now?” Theresa whispered, giving a little cou

    Egg after egg dropped, filling the space, and she couldn't help the feeling of raw panic eating her up. Theresa had never seen such a monster with different traits. It had pincers like scorpions and made loud noises. It buzzed like a bee, and was so solid even though it was made of ants. It was laying eggs which was really unbelievable, but what scared her was the fact that she didn't know what would happen if the eggs happened to hatch. What creature would they see there, and how would they eat us up? Those were the questions which were streaming in her mind.Theresa took in deep breaths, as she and Adrian were pushed together. She couldn't help herself. It felt like she would suddenly scream, and go out. The eggs fell against them, and it was then she knew that she couldn't help herself. “Adrian!” She called out, as her hand closed over his shirt tightly. Her mouth opened wide, and she fought for breath, but couldn't find it. “Theresa, Theresa, breathe!” Adrian voiced out, lookin

    The water filled her mouth, ears, and nostrils, as it joined hands with gravity to beat her down. There was no way she could let out a scream. She was busy gurgling water as she fell down the terrific height, hoping that she would not be smashed to death upon a rock. The fall was agony, and all of her fought to find stable ground, but it was impossible. Finally, she crashed into the water, diving headlong into it. More water filled her nostrils, and forced its way into her throat. The water was icy and it felt like she had fallen under frozen winter waters. Theresa went further downwards into the dark abyss of the water, feeling panic come into being, threatening to devour her, and she fought recklessly to swim upwards, but the cold made it hard for her fingers to find movement easily. It forced her to give up, as the surface seemed to get farther, the higher she swam. She fought as hard as she could, but it seemed impossible. Not until she noticed Adrian cutting through the ice-

    Theresa screamed, sitting up straight, and was ready to bounce off the bed if it wasn't for Adrian who held her. Blinking hard, she could no longer see any hands or a horrible face. “It was just a dream.” He said, but she shook her head, unwilling to believe it was nothing but a dream. It had been so real.“No, it wasn't just a dream. There was an odd creature staring down at me with a wicked smile.” Theresa said, wanting to leave the bed, but Adrian held her back.“And did the weird creature suddenly disappear?” He asked, and it was then she finally calmed down.Maybe it had truly been a dream. One of those hauntingly real dreams that she hated to have.“You're just scared because you're in a strange place, and a lot of strange things have happened. That's probably it.” Adrian said, and her breathing slowed down.“Damn. It was so real.” She said, still looking around. “Do you want to stay up till morning comes?” He asked, and she nodded immediately. “Yes, please.” Theresa replied,

    Adrian tried his best to unlock the padlock in the water, and thankfully, he did it and opened up the lid with all his might.“Lucas, now!” He instructed him and Lucas managed to place his right hand on the edge.“Sophie, you've got to get a hang of it. Once the water is absorbed and the bottom is removed, I won't be able to hols on to you.” Lucas uttered.Sophie gasped for breath as she poked her head out and she also managed to hold on to the edge.Suddenly, the bottom open just as Adrian predicted and all the water fell out.Arthur burst into laughter and began to clap his hands.“This is so interesting. Now, I know why father always talk about you, Adrian. You are really smart and have the the true traits of a leader. Having ten of you would build up an empire and run it well.” Arthur laughed out loud.“Will you get us out of here right now? And what do you plan on doing about Sophie. She's hurt, bleeding and in pain!” Adrian yelled, tossing the compliment he had just been given,

    The trio fell into what seemed like an endless pit.“Ahhh!” They all continued to scream out loud, hoping they weren't falling to their death.Soon, they fell on something soft. They all couldn't see as it was dark, but they tried to stand.“I think this is foam.” Lucas said as he touched what was beneath them.Adrian and Sophie did the same thing, and they confirmed it was as well.“Where could we be?” Lucas asked, wondering what exactly Arthur was up to.“I have no idea. He totally changed everything.” Adrian responded looking around like he could see in the dark.“Shit.” Sophie cursed under her breath with no strength.Suddenly, the lights went on and they covered their eyes at first because it was sharp and had stung their eyes at first.“What the hell is this maniac planning!” Lucas yelled in frustration as he kept his face away from the light.Adrian felt a little anxious that things weren't going the way he had thought or guessed it could go.This way, he felt he could die for

    Adrian stared at the woman as her cryptic words sunk deep into his head.She looked warily at him, then turned around to leave, and he only watched her dumbfoundedly.Suddenly, his phone began to ring out and he slid his hand into his pocket while still staring at the woman; leaving.As he brought his phone out, he had to take his eyes off the woman and focused on his phone. It was Sophie calling him.“Hey Sophie.”“Adrian, where are you? Lucas' home was blown up, and he isn't answering his calls. I don't know if he was in the house when the fire blew up.” Sophie informed him, sobbing hard.Adrian's heart skipped a beat and he became alarmed.“Where are you right now? Have you called the fire fighters?” Adrian questioned as he packed up the wine bottle and glasses, then hurried out of the cemetery.“I'm currently close to his house. And I called you immediately after informing the fire fighters.”“Shit! I'm on my way right now. Stay where you are.” Adrian voiced out over the phone.So

    On the other hand was Rose. She was alone in the lab even though there were some others somewhere else.Arthur's lab was a big one, so, there were more people like her working for him. The only thing was that she was more like the head of the scientists as she was most skilled, and he relied on her to get so many things done.Rose wasn't happy about it because Arthur was gradually turning what she loved doing into something she wanted to avoid so much.She was meant to use her skills and knowledge to help people and make life better, but instead, he made her use it to murder people and choose people who would live or die in some situations.But at the same time, she couldn't run away because she was indebted to him. When they were a little younger, she was brought into their house to be a helper; someone that had a bit of a higher rank than the maids.And that was because her father had owed a huge debt and Steve Wilson paid it, but asked for her to be a helper for years which the mon

    Lucas also just left the elevator and saw Adrian on the floor, groaning in pain. He quickly rushed to him out of worry.“Hey! Adrian!” He called out to him, and shook him to get a hold of himself.Adrian opened his eyes with cold beads of sweat on his forehead, then he looked at Lucas, and looked at his stomach, but there was no wound or anything.“The man who just left. Did you see any man?” Adrian asked, looking baffled.“No. You were the only one in the hallway. What’s going on?”Adrian checked his stomach again and confirmed that nothing had really happened to him, and if he were to believe Lucas, it meant that something was wrong with his mind.“Did Rose drop a contact?” Adrian asked as Lucas helped him up.“Oh! Yeah, yeah, she did. Is there a problem?” Lucas asked again, completely confused on what exactly was going on with Adrian.“I need to ask her a question. I just saw a man, and you claim there was no man. And… he stabbed me. But I can’t see any trace of any wound on me.”“

    “What did you do to him?” Lucas asked, out of curiosity.“I didn’t really do anything. He probably just had the best sex of his life.” Sophie answered, and folded her arms.“You know you’re beginning to confuse me, right?” “Don’t worry. You’re going to get the details son.” Sophie assured him, wanting to get over this as soon as possible.Shortly after Sophie responded, the guard walked out of that room and approached them.“The boss has agreed for you to take the antidote. Follow me.” He urged, and both Sophie and Lucas followed after him.They were led into a stall which was filled with so many drugs, and some were probably antidotes for reactions. Then they got to a particular shelf where there was just one antidote standing it.“This is the antidote for the Blue Rash. Mix it with a little amount of water, and then you can inject it into the affected patient.” The guard gave them the simple instructions.“Alright, thanks so much.” Lucas appreciated the instructions, and he and Sop

    Lucas and Sophie shared shocked glances at each other. They weren't expecting that he would actually ask for something like that."Her?""Yes. Just a one-time thing. If you will agree right now, then we would get on with it quickly." Bear uttered as he spread his arms on his couch.Lucas felt annoyed. He wondered why people always had to take advantage of those who needed something from them."Why can't you just do us a favor if you really want to do us a favor? It's unfair that you want to have her and then have a good amount of money with you." Lucas said, expressing his annoyance and how unfair it felt for him."Yeah, I understand. But life is unfair actually. So, if you want the herb , decide fast. I've not got all the time to waste in the world." Bet spoke, without looking merciful.Then Sophie rose to her feet looking determined."If it's me you want to have, then you'll have me. Let's get on with it immediately." Sophie uttered, looking like she had already made her resolve."S

    The next day, Adam arrived at Adrian’s home and he was ushered to Adrian’s room.“Gosh. This is the purple rash. Extremely dangerous.”“Oh, my goodness.” Sophie said softly and placed her hand over her mouth.“It’s a reaction of a particular drug which has been long forgotten, so, not many people would have its antidote. Even I do not have the antidote. But I know someone who might have it. They are a group of men who are into drug business and might have the antidote you are looking for. But you must play it carefully with them.” Adam informed them.“Give us an address. We’ll head right there. Andrew, you coming?”“I wish I could, but I’ve got something really important to take care of, and you shouldn’t wait until I’m done because Adrian’s life is on the line.”“Alright.”“I hope you are aware I’m tagging along, and we do not really need to get more people to follow us. We aren’t going for a fight, and gangs always have a feeling you’re coming for a fight when you arrive in numbers.

    “Do I know you from somewhere, perhaps?” Adrian asked, still staring at him in confusion.Then the man chuckled and let out a sigh.“It really is a beautiful day. Been waiting for this day, and now, I finally have it.” He uttered.Adrian managed to sit up, but was still feeling a little light-headed, so he leaned on the pillows that were provided for him.“Who are you?” Adrian asked, followed by a grunt.“I am Arthur Wilson, son of Steve Wilson whom you took down.” He introduced himself, now looking serious.Even though Adrian saw the resemblance, he was still shocked that it was truly Steve Wilson’s son. Since he was the one, it meant he was out to take revenge.“I see you’re here to take revenge for your father. But let me tell you one thing. Your revenge is no way justified.” Adrian said, with clenched teeth.Arthur cackled and did a one-time spin, then moved closer to Adrian.“You really think you get to decide what’s justified or not? You must be kidding me. My father might have
