Their bony frames rattle and clash as they swarm towards me, driven by an insatiable thirst for my defeat. I am in this battle, fighting with an endless army of skeletons. I grabbed a skeleton that jumped on me and crushed it.

But my triumph is short-lived, as another ghastly figure materializes before me. Its empty eye sockets glare at me menacingly, challenging me to an unyielding duel. , I deliver a powerful blow, shattering its skull with an unbridled force,

Yet my efforts prove futile, as another skeleton wraps its spectral lips around my leg, sinking its teeth into my flesh. With resilience and pain as my allies, I forcefully kick the skeletal intruder away, freeing myself from its grasp.

Countless skeletons are looming and hovering all around me, jumping on me from time to time. The relentless horde of skeletons surrounds me, their grotesque forms leaping and lunging, their bony claws scraping against the cold,
This is too much to handle, I'm injured and my body is tainted by my blood. I tilt my head and dodge an incoming skeleton from behind, causing it to collide with the one in front of me.
1992
While fighting this endless battle with the skeletons, I have come to realize a very important realization that has struck me hard.
' First, -I have lost too much blood..'
'Second, . I can no longer sustain this battle indefinitely.
Swoosh! Another skull attacks my head, but I simply dodge it without even seeing it.
'Thirdly, I have developed some kind of sense through which I can detect where attacks are coming from. '
With each strike evaded or countered, a newfound sense emerges, allowing me to detect the faintest whispers of movement, warning me of impending attacks
'Lastly, and most importantly, this is a most important thing that I have found out that is all the skeletons in this place like me. '
'Yes, they are attracted to me like bees attracted to flowers. '

'Sorry everyone, I love you to my core. Sadly, I can't talk, otherwise, I would have given you a heartfelt goodbye speech. '
I rotate in my place and boom, boom, boom! 1999 The skeleton that collided with me gets blasted.
' I have to go, ' I bend my waist a little and leap in the air. The skeleton jumps on me too, but I crush and squeeze it. 2003
I land on the ground Finally, my feet find solid ground, and with determined strides, I sprint forward, leaving the endless army of skeletons behind me. Their relentless pursuit is but an echo as I push myself forward, fueled by newfound resilience. The battle rages on, the clash of bones and the echoes of the undead fading into the distance, as I run towards the enigma that lies beyond, as I run towards the enigma that lies beyond the endless army of skeletons chasing me from behind me as I run.

In the vast expanse of the open seas, the ship gracefully cut through the crystal blue waters, resembling a dolphin in its sleek and majestic design. The ship's white sails billowed with the wind, propelling it towards an unknown destination.
On board, four individuals sat in a circle, their eyes fixated on Martha, a girl with an enigmatic aura. Surrounding her were the loyal party members of Alen, their expressions filled with curiosity and intrigue.
At the edge of the ship, the weathered ship captain stood, anxiously rubbing his hands together, his mind racing with questions. Alen, emanating an air of confidence, met the captain's gaze, his eyes briefly scanning the surroundings before settling back on the Captain's face.
A heavy sigh escaped the captain's lips, lines of weariness etched upon his weather-beaten face
The ship's captain and Alen stood at the edge of the ship. The captain, filled with anxiety, turned to Alen and rubbed his hands nervously, asking, "How did you know I needed that flower?"
"It's a trade secret," Alen replied, not bothering to look at the captain.
The captain let out a sigh, his expression filled with weariness. He began to recount a story
Ten years ago a seemingly ordinary night took a dark turn. Martha, my daughter, was attacked and cursed at the tender age of 11. She narrowly escaped kidnapping, thanks to the intervention of a woman
The curse was a high-level one a slumber curse that sent the victim into eternal sleep.
. However, finding a cure for the curse proved to be a daunting task. The only hope lay in a legendary flower that was said to be extremely rare and seen only by a select few.
He tried to seek help from his contacts but to no avail. Then, out of nowhere, an unknown individual—Alen—approached him, offering assistance and the elusive flower. The captain felt grateful, but he couldn't help being curious and asked Alen, "Who are you, Alen Pendrion? And how did you know I needed that flower? I never revealed my identity or voice to any merchant I met. I even had two separate identities, one for sailors and another for merchants."
The captain's question hung in the air, the anticipation palpable. He wanted to uncover the truth—how Alen knew his secret.
Both the captain and Alen started a silent staring contest no bady bother to break it the air around them became palpable like the revelation of Alen's true identity would cause the space itself to shatter.
Alen lips moved
[{I... AM... A.... }]
"Hey, Alen what do you think about today's dinner" who should make it"
Intruding at an important moment Joseph cut their conversation.
Captain glares at him but he shuns his glare and continues
"What! I know what he was about to say he would have said.! "
."I. Am. Atomic!! "
