A wide stone corridor shrouded in darkness, and there was no source of light except the moonlight that was penetrating through the windows.

A middle-aged man walked through this stone corridor. This man was wearing a white shirt stained with blood, and his brown hair was stuck to his face due to sweat.

He looked in a terrible state, as if he had emerged from a battlefield. This man carried a human head in his left hand

The eye sockets of this head were black and devoid of eyes, while the mouth of this head was sewn with metal wire

roar

A loud roar shook the place, causing some dust to fall from the stone ceiling

The roaring sound echoed over and over again, and masses of flesh began to appear on the walls, floor and ceiling

The lumps of flesh began to pulse madly, as if life had been revived in them

But this man did not care about this roar or the pulsating lumps of flesh

And he continued indifferently

The man reached the end of the corridor, where there was a giant metal gate that was half open

The man entered through the gate, ignoring the roar, which became louder and louder as time passed

This gate led to a huge hall containing three stone columns. These columns were arranged in the shape of a triangle, and the top of each column was flat. There was a crystal ball at the top of each column, and there was a stream of light that was coming out of each crystal ball to the triangular center.

In the center of the triangle there is a stone platform measuring three meters in size

There was a person floating in the middle of this platform, while streams of light were reaching him from the glowing crystal balls. This made his body radiate with a strong light and thus his features were not clear.

The glowing man floating in the center of the platform looked at the new visitor. "Daniel...I didn't expect you to be able to get here after all the obstacles I put in your way..."

Daniel did not look at the glowing man, but instead headed towards one of the stone pillars

"Daniel...." The glowing man spoke in a sad tone. "I did this to return home. I am just a man lost in this world. I wanted to be freed from this prison..."

Daniel stopped walking and looked for the first time at the glowing man, who was gradually getting brighter. "You want to go home, you said? After everything you've done...do you expect to go home and not pay for the atrocities you committed?..." Daniel's tone was calm, but it carried a lot of anger and hatred

"I know...I know I deceived you, but would you have agreed to help me if I told you the truth?..." The glowing man was trying to defend himself. "The shadow will penetrate the castle soon. Please let me go... I have waited for this moment for centuries." The glowing man began to plead

"I know that the shadow has arrived here. I will die, but I will not die before I atone for the sins I have committed..." Daniel's black eyes became firm and determined

Daniel started pushing one of the stone pillars, causing it to fall, thus cutting off the stream of light that was reaching the glowing man

"No...please, Daniel, let me go..." shouted the glowing man, who was beginning to panic at Daniel's actions

roar

The sound of the roar echoed through the castle and masses of pulsating flesh began to appear inside the hall

Daniel looked at the lumps of pulsing flesh and knew that he didn't have much time left before the shadow got here

So he quickly headed to the second stone pillar, knocked it down, and cut off the second stream of light

"Daniel...don't do that..." The glowing man became desperate

"Sorry, Kepler...I couldn't save you..." Daniel whispered as he looked at the last stone pillar

The human head that Daniel was holding under his arm shook in response to Daniel's words

Daniel pushed the last pillar and the last stream of light was cut off. This time the glowing man did not speak, because he knew that anything he said would be meaningless.

The hall began to shake violently, and the pieces of stone from which the castle was built began to turn into dust, with a roaring sound that caused the destruction of everything in its path.

Daniel faced the metal gate. He knew that through this gate the entity that would kill him would come, but contrary to his expectations, he was not afraid.

On the contrary, he was satisfied with his action. He was able to stop the man who caused all this chaos and spoiled his plans.

He was able to atone for his sins

This was the last thought on Daniel's mind before he lost consciousness

The roaring sound resonated louder than ever before, the giant metal gate shattered into small pieces, destroying the stones of the floor, ceiling and walls and turning them into soft dust.

Daniel's body and the glowing man's body were crushed and turned into masses of flesh

-------------------------------- -----------------------------

who am I?

How did I get here?

This is the first thing that came to my mind when I regained consciousness

I felt severe pain in my head, and when I tried to move my body, I felt that all the bones in my body were broken. I moved my body with difficulty and tried to check my surroundings.

The first thing I noticed was the suffocating atmosphere created by the narrow and dark place. Shattered rocks that might have been caused by some kind of rockslide surrounded me from everywhere, and The dust in the air made it difficult to see anything

After I tried to calm down and explore the place, I could see a faint light, and when I tried to approach that light, I could find a narrow tunnel.

I started crawling into the tunnel trying to reach the source of the light, and as I got closer, the glow increased

When I finally reached the place of the light, I could see its source. It was a relatively large stone about the size of an adult human head

I extended my hand and tried to touch the stone, but suddenly the earth started to shake as if an earthquake had hit the place and the stone emitted a strong glow to the point that I could not see anything

when I opened my eyes, I found a myself lying on the ground, as if everything I had experienced was a fantasy

'Was it a dream? '

This was the first thought that crossed my mind

I looked around, trying to scan the room

It was an empty room without any furniture

After the examination, I found that the floor and walls were composed of the same metal, and most likely the ceiling was composed of that golden metal

There was a huge window. When I approached it, I couldn't help but be shocked by the view outside the window

' Am I under the sea? '

The thing I saw through the window was the view of giant buildings submerged under water and connected to each other via glass bridges

The view of those golden buildings and statues and the lights they emit with the fish that swim in the depths of the sea made it a dazzling sight for everyone who saw it.

I tried to remember how I ended up here

But i couldn't remember anything

My name, where I come from, and where I am now

My mind was devoid of this basic information

'I have to find someone here so I know where I am'

I went to the door and what met me was a small hallway with a door at the end

On either side there are two windows

One of the two windows overlooks the sea, and the other one can see a large room through it. I tried to see what was inside the room, but I was shocked by the view inside the room and took a cold breath..

Here were three sentences written on the wall

no killing

No rape

No stealing

They would be great words if they weren't written in blood

And in one corner of the room, I saw a man cutting a dead body with a chainsaw

With human remains lying around the room

It was a bloody and terrifying sight

My goal was to find someone who knew the name of this place I was currently in, but it seems that the person inside the room was busy cutting the corpse, and I did not want to disturb him, so I headed towards the door at the end of the corridor
