Chereads / The Absolute Darkness / Chapter 2 - Chapter 01 : I AM ABSOLUTE

Chapter 2 - Chapter 01 : I AM ABSOLUTE

[Opening Scene: Kael Raiden, bloodied and breathing heavily, stands in the middle of a battlefield.]

"Kael grips his fists tightly, his body battered but his eyes blazing with determination. His tattered clothes cling to his frame, soaked in blood—his own and the monsters'. Around him, countless monstrous corpses litter the ground, yet more keep closing in."

Kael:

"I will destroy everything that stands in my way...

"And now, you're all in my way. DIE... or get DESTROYED!"

(Kael roars these words, his voice echoing across the battlefield. The horde of monsters growls in response, their eyes filled with bloodlust as they tighten their circle around him.)

[Inner Monologue - Kael, as the monsters advance.]

"What is this place? I was training in the forest like usual, taking down monsters with ease, testing the limits of my strength. Then suddenly... this.

"The moment I arrived, monsters I've never seen before swarmed me. Stronger. Faster. Deadlier.

"Days? Weeks? I've been fighting endlessly... My body feels broken, yet their numbers never decrease. Is this hell?"

(Kael's body trembles, his muscles burning with exhaustion, but his rage doesn't falter.)

Kael (screaming):

"You all think you have the advantage because I have no powers? You're WRONG!"

(With a guttural roar, Kael lunges forward, grabbing the nearest monster. His hands dig into its thick hide as he rips it in half with sheer brute strength. Blood splatters across the battlefield. The other monsters freeze in place, an unnatural sensation creeping into their minds—fear.

Kael:

"What's wrong? Are you scared? You wanted to kill me, didn't you?"

(Kael begins to laugh like a manic, chilling sound that fills the air.)

Kael (laughing):

"Ha... Ha ha ha... HA HA HA! I see it in your eyes. You're AFRAID!"

(The monsters snarl in anger, their hesitation turning into uncontrollable rage. Their growls grow louder, and they charge at Kael in a berserk frenzy.)

[Action Sequence: Kael vs. the Horde]

(Kael meets them head-on. Every punch is thunderous. Every swing of his arms crushes bones. He tears through the horde with nothing but his raw strength, splattering the battlefield with blood and gore. Yet no matter how many he slays, more keep coming.)

(Hours, or maybe days, pass as Kael continues to fight. His movements became slower. His breaths grow heavier. His once-unbreakable strength starts to falter.)

[Kael Falls - Inner Monologue]

(Kael collapses to his knees, blood pooling beneath him. His bones ache; his vision blurs.)

"Is this it? Is this where I fall?"

"How many bones have I broken? How much blood have I lost? My body... it's failing me. Can I even stand again?"

(As the monsters close in for the final blow, Kael clenches his fists, his nails digging into his palms. A faint memory of his past training flashes through his mind—a burning resolve reignites within him.)

Kael (roaring):

"No. I CAN'T STOP. I WON'T STOP!

"I will destroy EVERYTHING that stands in my way!"

(Kael rises to his feet, defying his broken body. A black, ominous energy begins to swirl around him, crackling with unbridled power. The ground trembles as the energy builds into a massive, chaotic force.)

Kael (screaming):

"I... AM... ABSOLUTE!"

(With those words, an enormous dark explosion erupts from Kael's body, obliterating everything in its radius. The monsters are disintegrated instantly. That place itself is torn apart, leaving only a void of darkness.)

[Aftermath]

(When the smoke clears, Kael is the only one left standing in a sea of absolute nothingness. He looks around, seeing only endless darkness.)

Kael:

"I told you... Die instantly... or get absolutely destroyed."

(Kael raises his bloodied hand high, declaring his victory. His knees buckle, and his body finally succumbs to exhaustion. He collapses into the darkness, unconscious.)

[Final Panel/Lines - To Be Continued...]

(The screen fades to black, leaving Kael's bloodied, fainted body as the final image. A lingering sense of dread and mystery hangs in the air, hinting at the awakening of an even greater power within him.)
