In the midst of the desolate wilderness, the group stood, baffled by the sudden cessation of the eerie aura surrounding the stick they held. Scott voiced his concern, "Where is the demon? Why did it stop here in the middle of nowhere?"Their attention was diverted as a powerful wind gathered, swirling into a tornado that churned up a cloud of dust. "What on earth is that? What's happening?" James exclaimed, fear evident in his voice. Gradually, the wind subsided, revealing the enigmatic figure of a woman before them.Clad in a luminous white gown, with cascading locks of hair and skin that seemed to radiate like the sun, she was a mesmerizing sight. The group braced themselves for a potential confrontation, and Officer Stephen boldly asked, "Who are you?"The woman's eyes gleamed as she responded, "You can call me the Pathfinder." Intrigued and perplexed, they inquired further. "You seek to destroy Typhoon, don't you?" she inquired, her laughter echoing eerily, "It's an impossible
Peter runs as fast as he can while checking the time on his watch; he must not be late. He tightly holds the cigarette pack in his hand. He arrives back at school, jumps through the fences, and peeks to avoid being seen by teachers and other students. He dashes straight to the rooftop, and there they are. "You are one minute late, Peter," Derek says, stepping on his school uniform, which they had taken when he was about to buy cigarettes from them. Peter breathes hard, "There are too many people, so I had to wait." Owen walks closer to him and gives him a hard knock. "What does that concern us? We warned you not to be late, and you were. You have to be punished for it." Peter goes down on his knees, "I am sorry, I'll be faster next time. I'll steal it if I have to." Raymond, the leader of the bullies, stands up from the boy he was sitting on, using him as a chair. He walks closer to Peter, who trembles as Raymond approaches and takes the cigarettes. "Go," Raymond says. Peter
They arrived at the temple, accompanied by a narrator who diligently chronicled their every move and the events leading up to their arrival. As their eyes fell upon a peculiar statue, its form seemed to defy convention. Though seemingly crafted from stone, it possessed an uncanny semblance of life. Each student paused, captivated by this enigmatic sight.The narrator's voice resonated once more, filling the air with a tale of ancient lore. "Behold the king, the inaugural werewolf in human history," they proclaimed. "Once a beloved soldier of King Zeus, he commanded immense strength and an expansive army. Yet, in a fateful encounter with Hades, the lord of the underworld, he harbored ambitions of toppling the earthly order. His reckless pursuit almost wrought destruction upon the world itself. However, King Zeus, filled with righteous fury, condemned him to eternal petrification as punishment, simultaneously sealing away his legions within a chamber."Amidst the students' awestruck sil
Peter's eyelids felt heavy, making it a struggle to open them. As he groggily regained consciousness, he noticed a faint beeping sound nearby, indicating that he was in a bed. However, it was clear to him that this was not his familiar home environment. He attempted to lift his hand, only to find it weighed down by an unseen force. With great effort, he tried again to open his eyes, and this time, they fluttered open, though his vision remained blurred and indistinct."Peter," a voice echoed beside him. He turned his gaze toward the source, but all he could discern was the vague outline of a person. Suddenly, a beam of light illuminated his face as someone adjusted a lamp nearby. Gradually, piece by piece, the scene before him began to come into focus.The person who had touched him spoke once more, asking, "Can you see me?" It became evident to Peter that he was in a hospital, and the individual before him was a doctor. Nodding his head slowly, Peter attempted to utter the name "Jame
Chapter 4: A Mysterious ConfrontationAs Peter awakened, his surroundings transformed into an unfamiliar setting—the heart of the jungle. Puzzled by his sudden displacement, he questioned himself, "How did I end up here?" His certainty of having fallen asleep in his cozy room heightened the sense of confusion. Something inexplicable was happening to him, compelling him to navigate the dense vegetation with urgency. However, his progress was abruptly halted by the resurfacing of a haunting voice, resonating with a monstrous timbre. Peter pivoted to identify the source and was met with the sight of the flashy object that had trailed them since their previous excursion. Fear surged within him, prompting a swift retreat from the enigmatic presence.Upon Peter's return home, his mother awaited his arrival. Resembling his mother in stature, he inherited his facial features from a late father whom he had never known—an unfortunate victim of an accident before Peter's birth. As she posed the
Inside the classroom, Peter anxiously awaits the arrival of his friends, his mind filled with the events of the previous night. He vividly remembers encountering Scott, the mysterious man in the hood, the unsettling revelations, and their discussion about werewolves. With every entrance through the door, Peter's gaze fixates on it, hoping to see James or Scott among the arriving students.Approaching him, Derek confronts Peter with a menacing threat, vowing to inflict harm upon him. Unfazed by the hostility, Peter chooses to ignore Derek's words and rests his head on the desk. Derek, acknowledging a friend nearby, exchanges a nod with him, hinting at a clandestine plot they have concocted. However, their whispered plans are interrupted when someone calls out Peter's name and taps him on the head. It's James.Angrily, Peter questions whether the encounter with Derek actually happened.

Scott, Peter, and James recounted the events to Scott, who reacted with surprise, asking if Derek had also undergone a transformation. Peter confirmed that Derek had indeed changed, specifically pointing out his eyes as evidence. James, wearing a curious expression, questioned Peter about his nearly fatal encounter with Derek, expressing concern over his violent actions.Peter struggled to explain, conveying his confusion and a mysterious surge of power he had felt during the altercation.

They all nodded in agreement, acknowledging the gravity of their situation.Seeking clarity, Peter rephrased his question, asking who they were. Scott corrected him, emphasizing that they should focus on understanding what they had become rather than who they were. James interjected, pondering whether they should meet with
The AcheriThe air was bitterly cold, and darkness blanketed the night like the depths of midnight. A part-time worker, eager to return home to the warmth of his wife and young sons, was preparing to leave when the light bulb in the room flickered. He muttered under his breath, "What the hell," while searching for a bench. Despite his desire to ignore the disturbance and hasten his departure, he couldn't resist investigating further. Climbing onto a table, he reached up and shook the bulb, hoping to restore its steady glow. Just then, the doorbell rang, interrupting his efforts. Irritated, he called out, "We're closed," and resumed his task, completely absorbed in his work. However, his concentration was abruptly shattered when a shadow loomed over him.Attempting to assert authority, he began, "I said we--" but as he turned to face the mysterious presence, a wave of weakness washed over him, rendering him paralyzed.
