"What have I become?" he whispered, tears streaming down his face and pooling on the floor, now a grim canvas of blood.As he raised his head, his gaze fell upon a student's head grotesquely hung on the blackboard. Suddenly, an eyeball plummeted from the ceiling, and he looked up to see internal organs grotesquely suspended above him.Then, music began to play in his mind. He turned to find a girl gently placing headphones over his ears, and he could only stare at her in disbelief.She raised her arm and tenderly wiped the tears from his cheeks.He looked at the window behind her and there he saw her wiping tears of a monster, a beast." I know you didn't want to kill them and even if you did, I don't care, I am not scared of you because your eyes look kind. "" I know you wouldn't kill me and even if you did, I am ready to die " she continued.Suddenly the world started spinning around her ."What's happening?" she gasped.and in that moment, she saw her own headless torso.the severed head hit the ground with a sickening thud.the beast screamed and roared.And his voice broke." I can't do this, I am, I am still a human " he said as he looked at the mirror.Staring at the mirror he looked in the beast's eyes " I will do what must be done " .And he walked out of the classroom of the dead.As he walked through the halls, the sight of lifeless bodies lying around surrounded him, but his eyes were unfocused, gazing at something far beyond their reach.Suddenly, he halted. In the classroom window beside him, he saw a five-year-old boy sprinting, late for school.As he passed, he noticed a middle schooler laughing with two friends, and then a high schooler being punished with his two other friends by a teacher.He continued, witnessing the same boy promising his friends they would meet again.Then, he saw himself staring back at him.The beast resumed its march, and in the next window, he saw a man with a girl. He kept walking, witnessing the man proposing with his one knee on ground, then getting married."Don't deceive yourself!" the reflection in the window shouted. "Accept the truth."The window showing the wedding shattered, and shards of glass rained down around him.In the fragments, he saw the girl kissing the beast, and in the other pieces, her lifeless body lay still. Her once-sparkling eyes were now void of life, her hands—meant to wear a ring—stained crimson, and her womb, which should have nurtured life, bore a gaping wound.Crushing the shards beneath his feet, the beast pressed on, each step transforming him further into a semblance of humanity. By the time he reached the rooftop, he was no longer a beast; he was merely a criminal.Sitting on the edge, he gazed at the sky, which was inexplicably red.A cloud drifted by, resembling a lion clutching a deer in its jaws.He heard the distant whir of helicopters and the wail of police sirens.Suddenly, the rooftop door burst open, and armed officers flooded in, guns trained on him.Without a word, they opened fire.The first bullet struck his head, and the onslaught continued, relentless and unforgiving.He fell from the roof, crashing to the ground below.Lying in a pool of his own blood, he stared up at the sky."How can one lose everything in a single day?" he pondered, the weight of his reality crashing down around him.2 days earlier." We will meet day after tomorrow, don't you dare say ' i am sorry, my girlfriend said no ' on that day. we are reuniting after 5 years "Vincent said while talking on phone." Yeah, yeah, I am coming and so will he, just do one thing, talk to the school guard of our school, we want to visit it, we miss it " his friend replied." Yeah, don't worry. I have to go to work now. talk to you later, bye and also today is the day.""Tell us whatever the result might be " his friend replied" Ok, Bye "And the call ended, and Vincent grabbed his laptop bag and shouted" I am going now, close the door mom"His mom and sister came." Bye "And he left the house, sat in his car and started driving.He stopped at a house and from the house his girlfriend came out and entered the car." Good morning "" Good morning, Baby " she replied while tightening the seatbelt.He starts driving." So, did you tell your parents?" He asked her." Yes, I told them about us "" What did they say?" He instantly asked." Yes " and suddenly she screamed in happiness " They said yes "." YES, yes, yes , yes " and he stopped the car at the corner of road and got outside and stood there.She jumped from behind and hugged him.She looked at his face and it was red, and he was smiling.Everything he ever wanted, he has it now.In the few seconds he stood outside he imagined his future life, marrying her, raising kids." Wanna take the day off today?" She asked.He was thinking about it." Come on, you don't get days like these every day, please, please "" Ok, tell me where do you want to go? Today I want to fulfil any wish my queen has " he replied." Shut up " she said while smiling.And they went to the aquarium and to a beautiful landscape which was very far from them.The day passed and, in the evening, they were sitting quietly and were watching the sunset." I really love you " he told her.She looked at him." I don't say it much, but you matter a lot to me and in future if we fight or something happens, just talk, I want us to communicate, not through lies, if you want to say something to me just say it, don't think twice""now, i don't mean you ask for two timing from me but don't two time with me without asking too but that also doesn't mean you can after asking me." he continued." Are you an idiot? " And she started laughing."You really have the way to kill the mood, when you proposed to me, it was the same, you said, ' I love you ' and after a pause you continued 'but it doesn't mean I will stop living with my parents if you tell me to ' "And he started laughing " yeah, i remember, i remember your awkward face too "" I didn't know how to react to that " she replied.And they talked throughout the evening.For dinner, they went to a fancy restaurant.He was looking at her eating and she looked at him and smiled and the thought crossing his mind was if he deserves all the happiness he is getting.After dinner they went for a walk and were walking side by side.She pulls a ring out of her pocket." Do you remember this ring you gave me years ago ? it was small for my hand and I told you that too but you replied 'it is meant to be that way' , when I asked why ? You replied ' I will tell you when your parents accept me' , so now tell me "He smiled ." It's for our kid , the kid we will have in future "And she started laughing " who gives the child's ring at time of proposing? "" It was my way of telling you, I am serious about us and what can I say, I am an awkward fella after all " he replied." You were the most awkward guy I had ever seen, first time we met, the thought of us together never even came in my mind, I was just amazed how every time you made good going conversation in group awkward "" Hey , don't say like that "" If we are talking about the past days than i have a question "she asked." Ask "" What happened between you and your friends when you punched tom "Vincent was sitting in front of his two other friends, and they were talking about their girlfriends and were telling stories in which he wasn't present, as conversation continued their voices fainted and it reached the point where he couldn't hear them, all he could hear was a very loud beep sound and it kept on getting louder.Suddenly he screamed and punched tom and knocked him with one punch .Blood was steaming down from Vincent's and Tom's nose ." I don't remember anything else , but my friends tell me , i went crazy and caused a scene "" And after that you and your friends slowly drifted apart?" She asked." Nah, i apologized for the next few days and it was like it never even happened " he said with a smile ."But still, as time passed, we got busy and from roasting each other every day , we started roasting each other occasionally." he continuedTime passed and now they were in car , he was dropping her home .He looks at her and she was reading a book." I know you like reading books but you don't get to sit with me daily "" I do "" It's not about how frequently you sit with me , live every moment to the fullest , what if I die tomorrow , wouldn't you regret spending time reading books instead of talking to me ? " He asked ." If you die tomorrow then i will not regret reading books ,i will regret falling in love with you. "" That's a cold reply my lady ,as a token of apology would you like to tell me what's the story of the book you are reading ?" He said in a weird accent." Apology accepted , actually the story I am reading about is a person named Orpheus . He is a poet and a musician whose songs could even move rock and make them dance . he had a wife whom he loved very much and they recently got married but she got bit by viper and she died .
Filled with grief, Orpheus cannot accept the loss of his adored bride, and he decides to journey to the Underworld to bring her back. His musical gifts charm Cerberus, the three-headed dog who guards the gates, and allow him finally to reach the god of the Underworld, Hades, and his wife, Persephone. He beguiles them, too, with his song, and Hades tells Orpheus that he can take Euridyce back with him, under one condition: she must follow behind him as they emerge from the Underworld, and he must not turn to look at her.
Overjoyed at being set this simple task, Orpheus thanks the gods and begins his ascent. But, unable to hear Eurydice's footsteps, he starts to fear that Hades has fooled him. As he nears the exit from the Underworld, he turns to see Eurydice behind him, and she is trapped forever.Devastated by this final separation and unable to return to the Underworld himself, Orpheus plays a mourning song on his lyre and is torn to pieces by a band of Maenads (female followers of the god Dionysus). His head remains intact, and continues to sing as it floats off on the waters. "" that's a brilliant story " he murmured."see , you liked it too ""my lady , we are in front of your home now .""time for me to leave you too then " she said with grief ."even if you leave me , i will also go to hell to bring you back and i wouldn't look behind too until i feel your hug " he said with a smile ."cringe " saying this she left .GET UPGET UPTHEY ARE COMING , GET .... UP.with a gasp of air vincent woke up in a pool of blood .his vision was blurry and was slowly getting normal . the moment he could see , he saw his 2 friends running towards him .what are you doing , run away .run away .and in an instant , he was in front of them." this was a sick dab dude " ron cried .tom's and beast's eyes rolled towards Ron and his left hand was gone and blood was dripping everywhere .I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO ITI DIDN'T MEAN TOI DIDN'T." you look a little different from the last time i saw you "" as far as i remember , you were still human "the images of ron's head getting severed was reflected on tom's eyes .monster's and Tom's eyes met and in that microsecond , Tom's life flashed in front of him and before Tom could even react to his friend's death ,the monster's fist was in front of him , suddenly he was no longer there .The monster was not there .The school's wall collapsed somehow.From the rumble the monster came out .Suddenly from behind someone smashed the monster's head on the ground and both monsters roared at each other's face and started punching.And the second monster vanished again but Vincent's eye could track its movement.A lever came out of Vincent's arm and he pulled the lever.Other monster was still running everywhere around him.vincent was silently standing and he suddenly screamed"ROT "And his punch landed on other monster . The punch was so strong it detached the monster from other person's body and the monster blasted everywhere .vincents's arm was pierced in her stomach .Due to recoil, the monster embedded even deeper in Vincent . he raised his vision and saw the girl trying to grab his arm .Suddenly all the monster's pieces jumped on Vincent and his body absorbed them.The monster slowly disappeared and Vincent was standing with his hand pierced in a dead human's body .His eyes rolled and looked at tom." YOU MONSTER, YOU KILLED HIM "" HE , HER , EVERYONE .... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA""YOU KILLED EVERYONE "And Tom fell on his knees and started weeping while punching the ground .suddenly someone grabbed vincent's hand and it was his girlfriend ,Eve."come on, don't make that face , it looks like you will cry if i will just pinch you "and she pinched him and he started crying ."i have nobody left , i killed everyone , i have a monster inside me , the whole world is against me , i have no idea what the fuck i am going to do and the person i love the most is haunting me in illusions ,why , why , WHY DO I HAVE TO SUFFER ALL THIS ? WHAT DID I DO "suddenly a net fell from sky and he was captured .He opened his eyes and found himself tied to a machine .Eve came walking towards him ." Goodmorning baby . while you were taking a nap , i analyzed our situation .first : it looks like you can kill a monster only by a strong attack that can kill its human too because otherwise it heals itself .second: you absorb the monster you kill for some reason .and third : right now you are held by government but breaking out would be easy .so wanna break out ?""no ""why ?" she asked"i like it like this , i don't have to kill anyone , i am also atoning for my crimes "he raised his head and saw Eve surprised ." you forgot ? you said even if i left you , you would go to hell to bring me back and you wouldn't look back until you feel my hug ""you are again making that face " she said slowly.vincent took a deep breath ."give me some time to think "2 hours passed ."have you decided yet ?" she asked"yes ""and ?""you are right , i am gonna bring you back and the only lead i have is the monsters , they are the only things that defy reasoning so if i want to bring you back i can only rely on absurdness. i am gonna kill every monster because for some reason after they die they come inside my body .i want to know what happens after i kill them ."she smiles "good , lets start by killing the 14 monsters government has confiscated here ."From the nape , the monster takes over .vincent opens his eyes and his feet were buried in a person's body , intestines were used as ropes and they were tied to some people's neck and other end was tied to his arms ."looks like you love making that face " eve chuckled .he closed his eyes and opens them . he was sitting on a roof and eve was sitting beside him ."are you hungry ? lets go some place to eat otherwise you will die with exhaustion " she said as she stood up.exhaustion ? die ? he looks at his body and it was like he could see his own ribs ." how many days have passed ?""8 and you ate nothing and were fighting continuously ,so let's take a day's break " she replied."and how many did i fight ?""13 of the government , a few soldiers and we found 5 more different monsters disguised as human ."she looks at him and he was hyperventilating.and suddenly he was normal , he stood up ."i am going to eat " he said as he walked .wearing those ragged clothes , he went to eat and for some reason he had a purse with him although it was a bit bloody.although its human but he kept on eating and his malnourished turned to normal ." right , how did i forget i am not a human "and he walked outside .suddenly Eve points a child ."her "her eyes shifted and looked at him and he was making that face ." i know it was your break but we have to finish as many as possible if they are within our reach "he closed his eyes and the monster took over his body .vincent opens his eyes and saw the child walking .he looks at eve ."go kill her "she said .he cried "why ? why ? why am in control of this body at this moment ?"cried ? a monster doesn't cry .and he charged at the child running away from him just like the others in the area and was about to severe her head when she turned to a monster ,but the difference was the monster came out tearing her body apart ,like it was literally inside her .both of their punches clashed .and the other monster ripped apart vincent's arm and threw him . vincent stood up and in super speed reached in front of him and slammed him with his own body , both of them collapsed in a building .vincent's arm grew back and it had a lever in it . he pulled it and before the other monster could stand up . vincent was in front of him ."ROT "and his punch landed on the monster and it blasted everywhere .where is the child's body ?all the monster's parts jumped on him and he absorbed them . he looks at Eve and she waves at him .HA ... HA .... HA HAHA HA HA AHA I HAVE FINALLY LOST IT HAHAHA HAA...his laughter was echoing and it was the only thing that could be heard ."why are you crying then ?" she asked .HAHAHAH " a monster can't cry "" a monster can't laugh too " she replied ." also you were in human form when you were crying or laughing " she continued.his laughter stops and he looks at her surprised," right , you were always the person who ran on facts while i always ran on instincts "he closed his eyes and opens them and he was standing in a broken museum with his fist in a person's skull."so which museum it ? " he asked her as he took the fist out .she was so surprised , she couldn't even move ."hello ?""how ? why are you not crying or feeling sad ?"she asked ."i am sad , but i have to adapt if i need to reach my goal since its about to be a normal thing in my life ."she hugged him ."i am surprised , i feel so good that you would go to such heights for me "he removed her arms ."you are not real , lets just go " he said while going out of museum .he closed his eyes and opens them and a person was sitting in front of him on a roof facing towards a broken city . vincent looks back and he was at a river side and the sun was setting .he walks to that roof and he hits an invisible wall ."what is this ?" he murmured ."sit down , let's talk " the person sitting said ." i don't want to talk ,just tell me what's going on ?""SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING MURDERER , I AM NOT ASKING YOU , NOW SIT THAT FUCKING WORTHLESS ASS DOWN AND LISTEN ."vincent sat down with his back touching the invisible wall."the place where you are sitting is your mind and the place where i am sitting is my mind ""and since we are in same body i can see you and talk to you?" vincent asked."yes , i am the one whom you call monster ""so you are the one who killed my girlfriend , my friend and my parents ?"there was no reply so vincent looked behind to see and saw the other person's head slightly turned , all he could see was one red eye staring at him ."why are you the one who is angry when you are the one who killed them ? you are the one who took everything from me , not the other way around "there was silence , noone was speaking and suddenly the monster spoke"you are not fast enough , you are not greedy anymore ,its like you no longer want to save eve because you are having fun talking to her illusion ,i think you are not trying "" YOU THINK I AM NOT TRYING ?I ALWAYS PUSH MYSELF , I AM MENTALLY EXHAUSTED , PHYSICALLY DRAINED BUT STILL WHEN I HEAR EVE SAY KILL THAT PERSON , I DO IT .YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS FOR ME TO KILL A BABY ?

AND I NO LONGER WANT TO SAVE EVE ? I WANTED HER TO LIVE , TO BE HAPPY, TO ENJOY HER LIFE . HER LIFE IS ON ME . IT'S ME THE ONE WHO HAS TO PAY FOR HER DEATH .........IT'S ALL ON ME ! .... I'M SO TIRED OF EVERTHING ,EVEN OF MYSELF , IT HURTS ...."" I know about your thoughts ,sometimes i hear them . no ,i am not an alien , no i don't know if killing every person will help in bringing eve back to life , no i didn't want to come in your body , infact any person's body . yes ,i have emotions too , yes i had family and friends tooUNTIL YOU TOOK IT AND MADE ME AND OTHERS SUFFER HELL "" what are you talking about ? i have not done something like that" vincent spoke."this broken city you are looking at my side is my city which i failed "" this riverside is the place where my mom and dad used to take me and we used to play for hours here and now they are gone "" you are about to leave , so before you go , remember .. YOU ARE A MURDERER AND I HAVE NOT FORGIVEN YOU FOR ANYTHING , if you have 100 people who resent you i am one of them , if you have 10 people who resent you i am one of them , if you have one person who resent you than that's you "and vincent opens his eyes and found himself standing on road ." you look shit " eve said while poking him .he looked at her ." why are you staring ? is it because of my beauty ? i know i am beautiful hehe "" the thing which takes over is not a monster but a person , a person killed Eve , I WILL BRING HIM OUT AND KILL HIM ""listen , you now have a way to kill a lot of monsters without even fighting them , you have OVERCLOCK now ,in this the time slows down by 70% for others and run faster by 50% for you during that duration when you run .so basically others will see you 120% faster and if you run at that speed you can run through a human body and they wouldn't even know they got killed ""i wouldn't be able to see at that speed properly and to run through the one who has the monster i will run through normal people too since i can't stop suddenly " vincent replied."we will be able to eradicate a whole city's monsters in few seconds , what's a small price for that and regarding the issue that you wouldn't be able to see properly , there you have me , you just listen and i will instruct you the direction ."vincent took a deep breath and he stood in running position and the monster took over but vincent was in control."let's get started ."and in a millisecond he passed through a person and he kept on passing through them .LEFT , LEFT , RIGHT , STRAIGHT , RIGHT , LEFT , RIGHT , RIGHT , LEFT , STRAIGHT , LEFT , LEFT , LEFT , STRAIGHT , RIGHT , RIGHT ,STRAIGHT THROUGH THE BUILDING AND WHILE IN BUILDING LEFT , UP THROUGH STAIRS , RIGHT , RIGHT , STRAIGHT , JUMP OUT OF THE BUILDING AND RIGHT , STRAIGHT .all he could hear was her voice , his body could feel every person he was passing through .everything was so fast before he could process what she told him , his body had already did it.And suddenly he stopped. (overclock was finished).he was panting and he felt someone's touch on his shoulder .he looked there and saw a lady grabbing his shoulder looking below he found his hand inside her stomach ."my baby " she criedand he noticed ,his hand was inside a pregnant women's stomach . his breaths kept on getting louder .he grabbed the women's shoulder and took his hand out ripping her stomach . he let go of the shoulder and she fell on the ground and he stared in her lifeless eyes , his eyes rolled and saw an eye in her stomach and it felt like it was staring at him.he looked behind and the street was painted in red . blood and body parts everywhere . in the air only sounds of screams and crying was present .he looks at Eve and she was pointing at a person ."him , i can tell he is like us . he has other monsters in him too "vincent looked at that person and their eyes met ."let's kill him before he transforms " she rushed him ."he is my friend , Tom ""oh shit , he is your friend?" eve gasped as she saw tom .Walking past her vincent transformed while waking .and the monster takes over tom ,unlike vincent's he was completely white with black scars at places.both of them stood in front of each other and the monster's layer removed from their heads and they saw each other's face ." the blo .. blood on your face , are you the one who killed a ..a.. all of them?" tom said gasping."yes i am " vincent said with a smile ...." why are you making that face ? it looks like you are about to cry " he continued"it means you don't have a strong resolve . let me give you a strong resolve , i was the one who killed Ron ,not the monster in me , i am the one who killed my wife and my parents and yours too "Tom was breathing heavily , he started hyperventilating , he was gasping for air and suddenly tom's monster took over and so did vincent's and they both were not in control of their body but were viewing from their eyes .both the monster started punching each other . tom grabbed vincent and tackled him into a building . vincent threw him away .both of them stared at each other . vincent pulled the lever on his arm and electricity ran threw tom's arm and both of them punched each other's face ."ROT " "DEVOURING CHARGE "and both of their head's left monster side was gone and eyes of guilts were seen .tom screamed and punched vincent .OVERCLOCKand suddenly in overclock he saw a hand in front of his faceTHUNDER STRIKEand tom grabbed his head and smashed it on the ground .before vincent had even used overclock , tom had used thunder strike that's why he was able to attack him first.monster was screaming in pain ."if you are unable to fight ,hand over the control to me "vincent said staring at him .and the beast was laughing ." please , stop , i am done , i am done , don't show this to me , take over completely , devour me , KILL me along with vincent but please stop this torture i can't see this anymore " tom said to his beast .and vincent's monster stood up ." Took you long enough to take over , it's about time you know the truth " tom's beast growled.and he rushed and smashed vincent's face on his knee ." remember you are me "and he grabbed vincent and threw him in sky .Before vincent even got a chance to recover himself , he got grabbed and slammed on ground ." remember the monster is not in your head , you are the monster"suddenly the beast's hand was on vincent's head ." wake the fuck up "3 months after Eve's parents accepted vincent . it was the day of their marriage .everyone was there tom, ron , their parents , brothers , sisters ." i hereby announce vincent and Eve as husband and wife . the husband may kiss the wife now. "said the priest .and he kissed her .2 years passed after their marriage and in a car accident Eve lost her both arms and legs and unfortunately due to this trauma , she lost her voice .Vincent who was owner of a big company took retirement to take full care of her . he was a genius so he had earned enough money already to spend life peacefully .one day when vincent was pushing Eve's wheelchair , he saw her crying ."i don't want to live like this , i don't , it's hell, i can't walk , i can't use my arms , i cant do anything , please kill me "vincent understood everything she said , her pain spoke so loudly there were no words needed to understand what she was saying ." don't worry everything will be alright " were the hollow words he said in which even he didn't believe .every night he could hear sobbing noises .he closed his company completely and started reading books to look for a way to cure her." don't worry baby , i will be your Orpheus and i will keep my promise and bring you back from hell"7 years passed and tom came back to the city and wanted to give vincent a surprise ."i can't wait to see his face , he will be so happy ."he knocked on the door but nobody replied .the door was open so he entered the house ." vin , where are you ? vin "he opened a door and entered a dark room .he turned the light on and saw Eve staring at her ."whoa , you scared me , not because of the looks , i mean because i suddenly saw you .....fuck man , i am sorry i said something mean ,so please forgive me "she nods ."thanks , you are the best , so where is our genius ? i bought him so many things , he is gonna love it , i also bought dresses and other stuff for you ,i am sure you both will burst out with joy with my gift "and he winks at her with a smile .he grabs her wheel chair ."point at where he is "and following her direction , they were in front of a room ."so he is in this room " and he opens the door and saw a head hanging on wall.his eyes moved and saw eye balls in a tube ."wai , wait what ? they are fake ?""no "and he looks behind and saw vincent holding a brain .tom screamed and ran away from him entering the room and suddenly the floor opened and tom fell down and kept on falling for a few seconds and got caught in a net .AAAAAAAAAAAAAH , HELP , SOMEONE HELP ME . VIN IF IT WAS A JOKE THAN YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR , STOP NOW .from an old lift vin came and the lift went up again."no one will come to save since we are so deep in earth your screams wouldn't be able to reach the surface, scream if you want to hurt your throat "vin looks at tom's terrified face ."don't fear , i will never hurt my best friend , in fact i could have started without you but you are my best friend so i waited for your arrival .""vin take me out of this net and let's talk properly""oh yeah , i saw your gift and i can't even think what you would have done to get it , i mean you purchased two prosthetic neural leg ? and have an offer of 30% less on hands , come on who do so much , i can only think how much it would have cost and how many places you had to lick boots to even ,i mean thank you man , you really are rarest kind and i am so lucky to have you as my best friend . "and the left came and eve came out of it wearing the legs and looking at her vin started crying and ran to her and hugged her ." i love you so much , it feel so good to see you standing , i ,i , i am so happy , this might be the happiest day in my life , i always believed and looked at positive side , i really am lucky . Tom ,you used to say i was lucky and you were unluckyi guess you were right ""vin , you are happy right? so please release me , RELEASE ME " and he was about to cry " why am i here ? what did i do wrong to you vin ?"" don't make that face , it looks like you are about to cry "vin continued" first of all you did nothing wrong to me and i am not angry at you and to answer your why you are here , let's start from beginning "7 year ago my wife cried for a death and since i am so full of greed i couldn't give that . i wanted to turn her normal not with prosthetics but real , but seeing he in prosthetic leg really filled my heart with joy , moving on . In search of ways to heal her i started learning biology and went as deep as i could in human anatomy and found no answers .then one day Ron came to see us and you know ron is a story writer so he told me he was working on a story where the main characters were in a game and it clicked to me right at that moment , why don't i make a reality of my own where it doesn't matter even if she has legs or not because there she will have a completely new body and so i started learning about games and ai now and to my surprise i couldn't find a way to send her consciousness in a game and even if i did , the people will be ai so it would not be immersive and we will not be able to live in that reality and would have to come out to reality for many reason like nutrition , excretion etc ,etc . i wanted to live a completely new life with her .And i called Ron and told him"i am bored so i am writing a story and you know how i am if i see flaws i want to fix them "and i told him all the flaws . he did'nt had the answers so he told me wait a few days and in a few days he called ." i do not have answers to all the problems but i have for one or two . To make the world immersive why don't you send more people with main characters and as for memories of their real life , why do they need to have them ? just put the main character at an age for example of 14 and rewrite the brain to make it believe they are real and not in a game and give them the memories of 14 years "" of all the 14 years ?" i asked ." are you stupid ? do you remember everyday of your life ? we remember not even a fraction of our life " he replied .and all i could think was , i might be practical and factually smart but this guy is a creative genius.and slowly and slowly i fixed all the theoretical problems i might have and started doing practical experiments on humans and their brains , now you might be thinking who volunteered for this experiment ? well nobody did , i used beggars , drug addicts and other people whom disappearing wouldn't be a problem . And i finally succeeded ,i sent a person in game and he was alive there and acted just like the character i gave him .so now how do i send so many people in game ?the answer i found was i don't need to send them all, i need a few people, whom brain data i copy and add the data of characters i give them and boom i have a million people but who would write millions of different characters ? so our friend Ron wrote an apocalyptic story so we don't need a million people ,just a few thousand and for those i used the characters in other novels , i basically copy pasted their mind set .now how do i solve the problems of us getting found out by police or someone else and the need for nutrition and excretion . i got the answer for these questions from open world games . i noticed when a hour passed for me for them whole days passed . so we will live our whole life there and only 1 hour had passed in real life and when we die there , we die here too .oh yeah while i was on theory phase , i built this house especially for you and a few others . i needed a very deep basemented house for handling screams .now all i needed was my loved ones , who i know wouldn't support in my madness so i slowly collected them all and at the end i needed to wait , wait for my best friend to come home and start my plan ." you are crazy , you , you are mad , you are a criminal and a murderer "" thanks for telling my adjectives , it hurt me to hear you say those but i know you will thank me later ""NEVER , YOU ARE A MONSTER , WHEN I LOOK AT YOU I CAN'T FIND MY BESTFRIEND "Vin was silent and stared at Tom with a blank face .he moved and walked out and suddenly one of the wall started sliding and it opened completely." this is everything i have build , even if you don't call me your friend , i will always be your friend ,whether i am a monster or a beast "the place tom was looking at and vin was standing at had large computers , there were wires everywhere , some dead bodies , many monitors and machines but most importantly Tom saw his mom and dad there ."mom ? dad ? " he whispered slowly ."they are safe ,just like mine ,eve's or Ron's , they are just unconscious. even Ron is unconscious. here are my school friends , college friends and my work colleagues also . so to give an exact number , 53 people will go in game including you and me ."" YOU ARE INSANE ""Nope , i am Vincent "tom started screaming and trying to break the net." i am going upstairs to lock everything . i will be back in few minutes and will start the game "he entered the lift and left .in a few seconds suddenly tom stops trying." i can't believe everything that's happening and even you are on this Eve , i know you have it rough , heck rough is an understatement but this is wrong . Did you want to walk on cost of others lives ? this is madness ,come on help me , we can still stop this ." Tom said looking at eve.Eve started writing on floor using the pointed side of her leg ." He is wrong and i know it but he went to such extremes for me and destroying his plan will be disrespecting all the things he has done for me . i love him and he loves me , i wouldn't betray him , i will walk alongside him even if i know this path is not morally right and will lead to destruction."Vin came back and read it .he took a deep breath ." Rising up , i never looked at the drop and I'm too high now i don't have any option . so Tom i wouldn't back down and neither will my wife . i am starting the preparations now ."and he chloroformed tom then he grabbed the unconscious bodies and put them in a transparent container ,one for each body .in an hour he had done everything he needed to . now he , eve and tom were the only people left outside of container .vincent went near Tom and grabbed his net and dragged him to container , took him out of net and puts him in container ."see you on the other side , Tommy "and he closed the container .he walks to Eve . "my lady its just you and me left now , do you want something for your journey?""ice cream " she wrote.smilingly vin replied " yes ,my lady . which flavor ? ""butterscotch" she wroteVin went to a shop and bought the ice cream and fed her with his own hands ."shall we also leave now , my one and only wife ?""yes , my one and only husband " she wrote .And after kissing each other , they went to their container .In 1 minute , the system will automatically turn on , 59 ,58 ,57 ............. 3, 2 ,1 .and now all of them were in game without knowing who they are in real life or if there is a real life .the game's story kept on moving but not in the way vin anticipated . he forgot a very important part and that was , he had real humans in his story and they don't always follow the story , they make decisions and the decisions vin thought will be made were not made and somehow Vin and Tom ended up becoming each other's enemies . they fought and just when tom was about to finish vin everything turned dark .Tom moved his hand and it was hit by a door and the door opened ." I am in real world !"He saw eve's prosthetic legs on the floor .And suddenly another container opened and tom came out of it ."wait , is that me ?" tom said looking at his own body .suddenly tom's body moved . "why am i seeing myself in front of me" his body spoke .at that moment both of them realized they were in each other's body . they looked around and all the other containers were open but nobody was there .vin punched tom and tom fell on the ground .he sat on him and kept on punching him ."you fucker, you asshole , you killer ,you murderer .i feel even weird punching myself "suddenly tom grabbed both of vin's arm ."let's do this later and first look at where others have gone "" why should I listen to you ? " and he took a deep breath ."Let's do it and i am gonna call the police after knowing where they went, most probably they called the police themselves " vin (mentally tom ) spoke .and they walked to a computer and tom started doing something on the computer and now it was showing the camera footage ." Set it to an hour ago "" I am doing that " tom grawled .And the footage of them going into the container started .A few minutes passed and Tom's dad set his foot out of the container and his body suddenly turned to semi liquid and fell on ground .Just like a bacteria ,he started moving and went to the elevator and got out of house .Footage kept on going and all the people came out and turned to semi liquid . Tom's mom , eve's mom , dad ,even Vincent's mom and turned to semi liquid and left the house .During the complete footage , vincent didn't look at it , he was looking at tom crying and watching it .When Ron came out ,for some reason he was normal but acted like he couldn't see where he was and he also left the house .And finally eve came out and turned to semi liquid except for her prosthetic legs . Leaving them behind ,she also left the house .The footage stopped and both of them fell on ground .Tom started crying and Vincent started laughing ." YOU MURDERER "" I AM A MURDERER "" YOU KILLED EVERYONE "" I KILLED EVERYONE"" you even killed Eve "" I even killed Eve " HAHAHAHA I even killed her ." I never even once thought about what would happen to the bodies after they come out " hahahahaha.With his tear filled eyes tom strangled Vincent's neck .And slowly Vincent's consciousness took over tom and from the pain of losing everyone , his ugly and disgusting desire to destroy everything took physical form and he turned to a black colored monster .He threw Tom's body in which Vincent was .Tom was still fighting for consciousness and somehow managed to get out of the house .In the battle for consciousness , he lost .In mere minutes the monster turned the area to wasteland . Not even a single scream of help or cry could be heard except for the monster's cry .Suddenly the monster stopped destroying whatever it was seeing and started walking .He kept on walking and walking and suddenly he stopped in front of a school .He opened the gate of the school , killed the security guards and walked in the school .While walking whoever came in front of him perished within a second and he suddenly stopped in front of room no.403 .A student's eye rolled and looked out in the hall and saw the monster .before he could shout his throat was slaughtered .It took a second for everyone to realize that a monster broke through the wall and slit a student's throat and killed everyone in between .and finally the teacher screamed only to get killed first . the monster grabbed a student and threw him above. the student's body got squished and stuck to the roof . his blood splattered everywhere .the monster grabbed a student and smashed his head on wall and cut another student's head and hung it on blackboard .in a few seconds the whole class was slaughtered .Tom's eyes opened and saw the sight of the classroom." what have I become ? " He said with tears dropping on the floor covered with a pond of blood .Suddenly music starts playing in his head . He looked behind and a girl had put headphones on his head . he just stared at her.She raised her arm and wiped tears from his face .He looked at the window behind her and there he saw her wiping tears of a monster , a beast ." I know you didn't want to kill them and even if you did , I don't care ,I am not scared of you because your eyes look kind. "" I know you wouldn't kill me and even if you did , I am ready to die " she continued.Suddenly the world started spinning around her ." What's happening ?"And she saw her torso headless and the head hit the ground .Tom screamed and cried.he felt victor fighting for the control of body .And his voice broke ." I can't do this , I am , I am still a human " he said as he looked at the mirror .Staring at the mirror he looked in the beast's eyes " I will do what must be done " ."i have to erase victor's memories of even getting married then i will change the truth and make him think he proposed to her yesterday but somehow a monster took over his body and killed everyone including his girlfriend , he killed everyone at the end to stop him from going insane i have to create a fictional Eve who will guide him ."Tom was standing in a broken city and victor was standing at the riverside."that's the whole truth ?" victor asked ."yes "" Why did you make me kill all those people who were possessed by our family and friends ?"" I have a plan .""you ..... did the right thing . right now i think , i ruined everyone's life but i think that way because of the few days i spent with the illusion of Eve .""i will not forgive you even if you realize your mistake " Tom said angrily." what's your name ?" victor asked"what?""what do i call you ?you are no longer Tom , you think you are a mix of the person who was in the game and the real you .you do know that world is fake but for you , you spent a life in there . that's why your mind shows the broken city which i think is close to you . so tell me your name ""David "" and what's victor's game name ?""Adam "and David finally turned around and looked at victor and saw him crying .from the very start , he was crying ." you , my body is yours . fight with adam and tom " victor said." i will lose , they are stronger than us . for some reason i can't fight the way i fought in the game""you just go and fight , winning or losing is not your concern . lay all your feelings and anger on the me outside and if you still lose . don't worry i am here ""what can you even do ?""have you already forgotten ? i am a genius . i will figure something out .you just go and let out your stored anger ."and david's eyes opened ."now you know your truth ? you still want to fight me ?"DO YOU REMEMBER THE NIGHT I ASKED YOU IF YOU WOULD KILL SOMEONE IF YOU COME TO KNOW THEY KILLED YOUR FAMILY ?"yes "David slowly opened his eyes." My answer was I would shoot them immediately without second thought and you were indecisive and replied that maybe you would kill him in adrenaline rush but calmly you would give him punishment through the court . "David's and Adam's eyes meet ."Looks like I gave the exact opposite answer and you, you finally got your answer. you would even kill innocent people "" What do you want to say? " Adam asked."The first time I met you, I thought you were an ordinary person.time passed and you proved me wrong in a few months.I understood, you were different. not because you scored more than me but because of your mind. you were mature, calm and collected. while I was rash, childish and always complained about everything."David slowly stood up." But still I tried, I tried my best to beat you, I thought I could beat a genius but somewhere down the road, I admitted my defeat.I was in some aspects happy. I was happy I was your best friend. Out of all the other ordinaries. I , I was the one whom you chose as best friend.and he screamedSO WHY?WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING?WAS I NOT WORKING HARD TO FIX EVE'S SITUATION. I, I DID EVERYTHING YOU SAID BEFORE, I LICKED CORPORATE'S ASS, WORKED AS MUCH AS I COULD AND CLIMBED MY WAY.BUT YOUR UGLY GREED FOR WANTING MORE AND MORE KILLED EVERYONE AND I COULDN'T STOP YOU.SO, TELL ME, TELL ME WHAT I DID WRONG.ADAM SCREAMED." YOU WERE NOT THERE WHEN I NEEDED YOU, I WAS THERE AT YOUR ROCK BOTTOM BUT YOU.YOU DID NOT VISIT ME EVEN A SINGLE TIME AFTER HER DISCHARGE FROM HOSPITAL.IN THE SEARCH OF THE THING THAT WOULD MAKE US HAPPY, YOU FORGOT ABOUT OUR MENTAL CONDITION.even the strongest metal can be broken if the right conditions are met."and the monster took over Adam's body." But still I really got happy when I saw the legs "And he charged towards David .David dodged his attack." I was wrong, I never looked at the situation that way "he swung his fist and Adam blocked it." All I needed was someone's company. A person in front of whom I can cry my worries out. "And Adam clenched his fist and hit David as hard as he could.Flying through the building, he finally stopped in a park.When Adam got there, he saw David siting on a swing." Out of all places to stop. look at the luck, I stopped at the place we spent most of our childhood. "" Hm " Adam said looking at David.OVERCLOCKAnd suddenly David was in front of him." RED ..... ROT "And David punched with every might in his body.Flying in the sky, Adam fell on a highway.When David got there, he saw Adam laughing." Would you look at the luck.HAHAHAHA ... HAHAHAHAHA." I fell at the place where eve got in the accident "And he started crying." She is dead, everyone is dead, I killed everyone and now I am fighting my best friend without any reason "" Without any reason? YOU THINK WE ARE FIGHTING WITHOUT ANY REASON?"" THEN TELL ME WHY ARE WE FIGHTING? WE CAN'T FIX ANYTHING BY FIGHTING EACHOTHER "David pulled the lever on his arm." Speak for yourself, I have a reason."" Then why am I fighting?" Adam cried." I am the predator, and you are the prey who is running for his life "" Why do you think you can win, don't you remember all the times you have lost?" Adam said wiping his tears." I know I can't defeat you; you don't need to tell me that.It's not about winning or losing.IT'S ABOUT ME TAKING YOU RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.and suddenly David's body starts burning. the louder Viktor screamed; the more fire surrounded him.the fire was so intense, it reached the sky.and in an instant, the fire vanished and David was standing uninjured.suddenly David vanished."Where is he? ""OVERCLOCK "and a fist hit his stomach and in the overclock state David dragged him in the city smashing him in buildings.overclock ran out and before Adam could regain his mind, David barraged him with punches left and right.even in that situation, Adam regained his mind." i need to get away from him and gain the momentum of fight "and with thunder speed he gained distance." Not today " David said right in front of his face and smashed him on the ground."STOP, YOU CAN ONLY USE 3 OVERCLOCKS A DAY OTHERWISE YOUR BODY WILL GET DESTROYED AND YOU HAVE ALREADY USED 5." Eve screamed."Worry about your boyfriend "after the fire, David gained most of his powers back. for example, the more damage he takes, the stronger he gets and the more emotionally overwhelmed he is, the lesser the pain he will feel.suddenly in thunder speed Adam jumped in sky and landed in a different city." I need to think fast a plan "suddenly David was in front of him and his mouth moved" JABS OF LIFE "and in 5 seconds Adam felt over 5000 punches hitting him and to finish things David screamed"RED ROT "breaking through everything in the way. this single move destroyed half of the city and Adam finally stopped and fell on the ground. David's punches knocked Adam out.but unfortunately, Adam's body had its owner, and Tom took over the body and the instant he took over he heard David's scream.David was able to do this move because he only used overclock on his arms .Tom followed the direction of the scream and saw David lying on the ground screaming.both of his arms were busted, and he was crying blood. His entire body was drenched in crimson, a gruesome mix of his own blood and that of his adversary.Tom walked and stood in front of him."In the end, I have lost again to him"Coughing blood David up and stared in Tom's soul.Even this version of David terrified Tom.just when Tom was about to flee, David passed out and fell on the ground.Tom looked at him for a few seconds." We won? " Tom said slowly.suddenly David's body moved and pulled the lever on his arm."You did good. leave the rest to me. "and now victor was in control of this broken body.and he started punching tom with his broken arm, but tom dodged every punch.victor kept on punching and tom kept on dodging."I feel sorry for you " tom whispered as he punched victor and threw him.more than half of the monsters escaped from victor's body and tom's body absorbed them.victor stood up trembling and looked at Eve."Victor, please don't " Eve cried.victor smiled."OVERCLOCK ""RED ROTTTT" "DEVOURING CHARGEEE"they looked in each other's eyes and saw their own reflection in them .the reflection of victor's fist on Tom's chest and the reflection of Tom's hand in Viktor's chest ."You....... missed?"" No....I told you before.Even if you don't call me your friend, I will always be your friend whether I am a monster, or a beast.And friends might fight each other but they don't kill each other.""he looked at Eve and then looked at Tom."Your face, it looks like you are about to die.""WATCH OUT " "RED ROT "David and Viktor were standing on the roof. they both were in same broken world." Goodbye old friend. See you in hell." became victor's last words.and tearing through victor's body, Tom was sent flying."I told you to watch out. He was me, and obviously, I would never accept defeat. If I hadn't taken over, we would have died."Tom walked to Viktor's body and saw him lying in pool of blood with half his stomach missing. All the monster's held in his body were everywhere around him and slowly they reached Tom and his body absorbed them." it's over. He is dead. I am dead " Adam said as he sat on the ground." Tom, my friend. you lost again. "He continued.Tom stood up and starts walking."Even the version of me who didn't give up lost "Tom said with regret in his voice."So did mine. He thought he could have saved Eve by killing these possessed people."suddenly Tom ran in lightning speed."So why did bring us in front of my house?" Adam asked.and Tom entered the house and was in the elevator." Me? I am not in control of the body. I thought you were in control " Tom said in panic.Tom's body came out of elevator and was running towards the container.Adam smashed his head on ground."I am such an idiot. fuck. how did it never cross my mind?""What never crossed your mind?"" He killed everyone who was possessed, not to gain strength but to get them all in a body. my real self made David fight because it doesn't matter who wins the fight. when David lost the fight, my real self took control and made us believe he was still trying to win .He knew I would think something was sketchy, so he purposely used Red Rot in the end and threw us away and when your body absorbed everyone else, it also absorbed David, who then took control. You thought I was taking control, and I thought you were still in control and now that we've figured it out, it's already too late to fight for control.""What?" Tom said in shock." I think either I am genius or you. Let's pray it works." Adam said as he laid on the ground and looked at the clear sky."What works?""See for yourself "Tom screamed " Tell me right now what are you talking about?"David stood in front of a container and a monster jumped out of his body and went in container and David closed the container. he did it for every container and in the end only three containers were left.David looks at Eve."The first monster which attacked Viktor were you. right? ""yes ""See, I knew it. That's why he was only able to see you after he absorbed you."" You don't hold grudges against me? have you forgiven me?""I hold grudges against both of you and I will never forgive you. i no longer know what's reality and what's fake. i mean you tell me ,all the time i spent after coming from the game how is that a reality ? i have already destroyed more than 3 cities and the world is in chaos right now .So looking at the situation we have few days before someone finds us out but if a couple of hours is lifetime in game than few days is more than enough ""what?" she was so confused because he changed topics so many times in a span of few seconds."it's time for you to go""Bye bye. See you in hell. "and the monster jumped out in the container, and she vanished.Now, he was in the place where Tom and Adam are."Get the fuck out of here " David said as he grabbed Adam.and in front of Tom's eyes Adam vanished."Now, let's have a one-on-one chat about your situation."Tom was silent."So, you do know that all of us are going in the game, and you aren't. it's not like you aren't but more of you can't. since I am your consciousness. You have lost everyone; you are a wanted criminal and on top of that you will no longer have superpowers since we are going back.I know you don't deserve this, but we can't do anything about it. so, my option for you is kill yourself before they find you. "and suddenly he vanished too and only Tom was left.he looked around and saw himself in basement. 3 days passed and on 4th day a team of people found Viktor's house.They entered the lift and reached the basement that's where they saw Tom's dead body with a gun in his hand. The bullet had pierced Tom's skull.Everything was destroyed there. not a single machine was working.everyone was shocked by the sight." I am going forward to scout. kill anyone if you see them " the leader said as he marched forward.he was looking in every container and saw something burned in every one of them."i have lived over 1000 lives " and suddenly a bullet pierced David and he fell on ground just behind the leader."Thank you for killing me "and David died. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW (EVERYONE). DAVID IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF A STORY I HAVE BEEN WRITING CALLED "MASSACRE" AND IF YOU ARE LAZY AND DON'T WANT TO READ THAN LET ME TELL ME YOU WHEN THAT STORY TAKES PLACE. IT TAKES PLACE WHEN TOM WENT FIRST TIME IN GAME. THANKS FOR READING
