Chapter 1 - In-mortal

"Do you see? No matter what nice things you do to others, they will continue to treat you like a demon? So let loose Jyn, show them all what you can really do! Show them what happens when you mess with US!"

The rain fell down on a young boy who was covered in blood. He slowly looks down to his hands to see the blood. His head begins pounding, he begins to breathe heavily. "No… This can't be happening. Why?" The boy looks around just to see the scenery, all he sees is corpses, being torn to shreds. Some looked like normal civilians. Others seemed to have been strange men and the rest, torn to pieces way beyond recognition. There were claw marks everywhere. At last, the boy stood up. "I-I thought it was all over... "

"All over huh? I wonder about that.." A voice ringed out. The boy looked up to look where the sound came from, only to see nothing there. "Seems to me, that this is probably just the beginning." A figure stands behind the boy, when he turns around, the figure reacts by grabbing the throat of the boy. He begins gasping for air, as he sees the figure closely, an extremely pale boy, about in his late teens, holding a spiked baseball bat on his back. He wears a black hoodie and his eyes are red and lifeless. "So let me ask you something? Do you want to die? Cause I can end this quickly if you want me to." The strange guy said as he tightened his grip on their neck.

The boy closes his eyes, as he shakes his head. It was almost impossible to breathe, it felt like the pale guy could crush his neck at any moment. Almost immediately, the pale boy's eyes began to show signs of life as he let the boy go. "So, you have chosen life. Congratulations!" The pale boy begins clapping and smiling. The boy gasped for air. "W-what's happening to me?" The pale boy looked over to him with a sigh. "Didn't anyone tell you not to be such a downer. Now, you just crossed the point of no return. Hate to say this but, you're fucked."

"Fucked?!" The other boy shouted.

"Pretty much yeah. Welcome to Monsterhood… uh… Got a name, bud?" The pale boy rubbed his chin. The boy looked over. "Jyn. Jyn is my name."

"Jyn huh? Hehehe, someone has a cool ass name. I'm kind of jealous." The pale boy looked over at him with a smirk. "I just hope that I don't have to kill you." The pale boy then held his hand out. "People call me Leven. I'll guide you through this predicament... Now, let's get down to business. Explanation dump, here it comes!"

"Wait, wait, wait WAIT!" Jyn threw his hands up. "I just want to go home… Is ther-?" Before Jyn could finish, Leven pulled at the spiked baseball bat, and stared daggers at him, his eyes lifeless again. "I already said that you're already crossed the path of no return. Look at all of this destruction you've caused. If I take you back now, who knows what devastation you will cause, and let me tell you, the more damage you do, the more work us guides have to do to clean up."

Jyn looked around. "W-wait… I caused this? I did this?!"

"Well, duh." He then paused for a moment. " Actually scratch that, I haven't explained anything to you yet. So not duh. But you DID cause it. Congratulations, if destruction was your desire. Yeesh." Leven picks up a corpse's shirt. "OOoo. This will fit nicely." He then stands up and turns towards Jyn. "Alright, follow me."

"Uh...Where are we going?"

"You'll see. Follow please. I'll explain on the way" Leven begins walking north. Jyn hesitates to go with him, Leven then turns towards him one more time and smiles. "If you don't, I'll break your fucking knees and drag you with me."

"Y-yes sir!" Jyn begins following after him as Leven walks.

As they walk forward through the apocalyptic city, Leven turns over to Jyn. "Let me say this, you're not in the most favorable position, my friend."

"Is that so? Care to explain?" Jyn jumped as Leven closed in the distance. "Currently, you are facing a battle between you and your karma. In other words, The bad aspects of you. Those of which, makes you do undesirable things, and seeing that you are…" Leven then pinches Jyn's cheeks. "...So human-like. Your battle has just begun."

"My battle?"

"That's right. Your battle." Leven pokes Jyn's chest with a bit of force. "But, good news bucko, you're not alone. Cause you got the best guide a monster like you can have!" Leven points to himself with a smirk, his eyes closed. When he opened them, he already saw Jyn moving away. "Oi?!" Leven runs up to him and grabs him by the collar. "Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"I'm sorry, but this is obviously some sort of elaborate prank. I, one hundred percent, understand that you are here and you are… definitely not normal, but fighting my 'emotions'."

"KARMA" Leven interjects.

"I'm sorry. My 'KARMA'. I never signed up for this, so if you can take me home… I will be grateful- GRAH?!"

Before Jyn could finish saying those words, Leven punched him with tremendous velocity, causing his fist to go through Jyn. Jyn begins coughing up what seems to be blood, however, the color of it doesn't fit as blood, as it is more void black then crimson red. Leven's eyes went lifeless again. "Now, listen here. If I could take you home to the mortal realm, do you think I would still be here in this damned forsaken world?! No, I would've been back there, living my life that was taken from me. But nope! I'm stuck in this hell for...decades, centuries, I don't know, I lost track. So, If someone like me was unable to get out, how in the hell do you think you could leave this hellscape? HUH?!" Leven looked down on the now prone Jyn. Leven seemed pissed. "Now, do you notice how you're not dead by having my hand through your body? Pretty, nifty right?"

"Y-Yeah… nifty." Jyn coughs more.

"You'll heal it off in a few days. Although until then, I guess I can just carry you to the destination. Nice to meet you. Jyn. Hope we can get along graciously ." Leven gives him one more smile, as he picks him up and begins moving.
