A Weird Place

  At The Summit of A High Building,

The wind was rough and soaring in the face of our protagonist.. as he sent his sight to the horizon before him

   A -black haired- Man with simple facial characteristics, full of despair & sorrow... Stood shakily on the Edge... with trembling hands, he brought a piece of paper out of his pocket revising the letter he intended to leave behind.

   {Dear Sarah, I’m so sorry for leaving you in such a man-eating world on your own.. But I already.. lost the will of living.. after working my a*s for 7 years in this job. I never got a word of praise... I got framed in A money sweeping process in this Corrupted company. Sorry my sister. I wish you forgive me someday}

  The man took off his shoes & put his letter under one pair of it to prevent it from flying. He clenched his hands strongly let himself to the wind & the gravity. Screaming, he palmed his chest of the feeling of his heart falling out. He felt his eyes popping out so he closed his eyes to stop that feeling of fear & to run away from meeting his awful end..

   But while he was falling, that feeling stopped suddenly. The man opened his eyes to see himself floating in mid-air.. there was no wind either or any noise, it was like the time stopped

He began screaming “Aahhhh, What? What’s going on?”

“You have been saved” A weird voice came from up

The man turned in mid air to see a white haired short man -with mono eyelid eyes & Devilish aura, in a grey suit-

“Who are you? What... What happened to me, Did I die?”

“I’m no angel or such divinely being. I go by K. I’m giving you another chance. Do you accept the deal....”

 

    In an Infinite place full of ruins and desolation, Group of 6 men who just woke up began asking themselves in this nowhere “Where am I?”

   They began looking around to find nothing except bombard building & bones scattered everywhere on ground. It was like they got swept in another Strange world with wrecked buildings & Nothing except doom waiting for them.. With no Sun to Emit Light, they felt their spines chill, they thought it was cold but inside them they knew something dangerous was there.. 

 

  They thought they were in hell but the men suddenly saw a stranger from far “Don’t go” They told themselves but a blonde man tying his long hair with black band. He looked around 23 years old with wicked eyes & Evil personality walked to the Man uncaring for what they said.. His survival was his first priorities.. He walked him. Meanwhile the others went on separate ways to know where they really are

  “Excuse me.. What is this place?” The Blondie asked

“What’s your name kiddo?” The 33 years old man asked

“Oikawa.. what about__ “

The first interrupted “Did you meet K?”

“How do you.... You met him too? What he meant by a second chance!__”

   The whole group came from far shouting “What’s with this place Old Man?”

“Old man..!! Wow no manners. I’m not that old or maybe I.. It was 5 or 7 years I guess.. ”

The man began listing his story & after he finished they all came to an understanding that they got deceived By K

The blond one asked So “What was your answer?”

“Same as yours”

“So that deal is the reason we are here now, So is there A quest we should finish or sth__”

“NO” The Older man shouted aggressively “You are here because you are fools. You made a grave mistake by deciding to end your lives”

“Huh!! How did you know?” others asked

“Didn’t I say same as yours”

    

  One man began shouting madly

“I must get out of here.. get me out of here” He panicked and tried to run away

But the Stranger shouted in serious tone

“Make one move outside this spot & you are doomed”

They all looked in fear to the man

“What do you mean? They asked

The Blondie stood calmly   “No back to the Question, What is this place, Old man?”

“A place. Hmph... It’s no place, It’s a complete world, Full of hideous creatures, Bad sceneries, Monsters who have fangs like knives & Claws like swords. Their volumes are as much as 3 of yours. This world, It’s another dimension of that we knew. I call it the No Where”

    -Clapping- The men heared clapping from above.. they turned to see their first Host

K clapping his hands while floating up in air “Thanks Regis, You saved me from the boring explanation, But you seem that you forgot to tell them the Rules.. In this world. There is A Gate.

Reach the Gate & Live a new life of prosperity & fame.”

Regis stood in anger trying to capture him. But He vanished in thin air.

“Why was he here?” Oikawa asked

“He always does this”

“Huh !!”

“Visiting the newcomers”

The men stopped breathing and gulped in fear

“We aren’t the first to be here”

“I too came with a group few years later but because of that Demon... None left to live except me in this miserable world”

“Hey, Regis old man.. What did he mean by A Gate?”

“Don’t Bother. You may get killed without knowing what happened. You will go mad in few weeks. You will fight each other; you will be doomed before even trying”

 

  The men went inside a nearly-destroyed building each in his desolated room so frustrated, Can’t believe their fate.

Oikawa sitting on a cold hard floor thinking in confusion How to get out of here.. and suddenly A low voice came from the dark corner of the room He turned to see K is waving to him

“You!”

“That’s right Oikawa Ketsune-kun”

“You know my name!”

“Of all the people who came before, you’re the most interesting one” K called in a devilish tone

“What do you want?” Oikawa stood up holding his guard up but he dropped it inquiring as soon as he heard k say “Help”

“Why me?”

“You don’t reek of fear, You reek of betrayal & hate.. that will be your hope to get out of here. Beside, you seem interesting... Normally, They run but you.. Hahaha, you really are interesting”

Oikawa grinned “So you’re here...”

“For help.. Just a moment you were thinking of getting rid of everyone & get out of here by yourself.. let me tell you, You’re Right �'�”

“Please continue” asked Oikawa slyly

“This world is no different from the one you came from.. It’s a dog-eats-dog. You must be cruel & seek vengeance by hatred & destroy everything in your way just to get your goal. That’s what you did to be The CEO of that large company in your previous life”

Oikawa’s eyes widened from hearing his story

“After you got that position.. the Foreign broad Set you up.. even your men, gf, friends... All betrayed you”

“I’ve to return to doom them all”

“That’s right! Kill everyone & acquire their power” said the short demon with evil corrupted eyes �'�

“Huh!!”

“I’ll tell you...”  

     After a couple of hours...

  Oikawa went secretly to some one’s room

“Who is there?” The rough man asked

“It’s me Oikawa... Ginzu-san”

“How do you know my name?”

“I noticed you.. you were trying to get out of here but that sly b*****d Regis hold you back”

“Yes... I’m gonna pay him soon”

“Actually Ginzu-san.. *He leant to him more & whispered*

We can get out of here”

“What!!” Ginzu Shouted

“I just found a way... If we could kill everyone we can acquire their power, The more power we gain, The higher our chances to get out of here”

Oikawa could lure the man into that filthy plan & indeed when night fell.. 

  Oikawa & Ginzu killed the other 4 men one by one ruthlessly. Till they reached Regis room, he was out waiting down in the wrecks. He was already on knowledge of their plan. He raised his hands surrendering calling “Oikawa, You’re being deceived. Wake up”

“No it’s you who was deceiving us” Ginzu shouted wiping the blood of the deceased from his Rusty knife continuing

“Oikawa said you can acquire the human’s power by killing them.. and I really feel his words right in my body.. I’m so powerful than ever, I can do this for days with no sweat”

“Don’t do it... He is bluffing.. No way outta this place”

Ginzu shouted while giving Oikawa his back “Is that true?”

“No, Ginzu-san. I told you the whole truth about how getting strong & by this strength we can get out of here”

“Heard that, Regis” Ginzu shouted in anger & Illusion of the power flowing through his veins

   “..But Regis is right about one thing, there were no we. It was me from the beginning” Oikawa unsheathed his sword & pierced the naive man’s heart  

“Oikawa, Don’t do something Foolish like killing those who will come, I’ve been here for 7 years, I suffered many times watching the newcomer getting fooled by K... “

“So how did you survive!”

“I regretfully killed them... Do you think you were the first to do his Nakama =(friends)”

“You killed them, I knew it”

“No... You’re deceived. I don’t wanna fight you”

“No you don’t understand.. after killing Ginzu, I took his power. All of it... the power he stole from the others”

“Don’t fall in his trap, Oikawa”

    Suddenly black hole appeared behind Regis then sucked him away

   Oikawa stood exclaiming till K showed flying from up

“What did you do?”

K smirked “Is that my thanks... I took him away in your place. You can do it Kitsune-kun, I will bring more human to be devoured by you.. you will get more stronger”

“Why are you helping me?”

“Helping you �'�... you’re mistaken. I just wanna see you humans kill each other. It’s all for my fun....”

“You cruel” Oikawa said with a grin looking at his sword insanely

K laughed “I said I like you, didn’t I?”

“Being me more.. I can’t wait.. to get out of this place.. But one last question, He said something about other people, what happened to the first comers, K?”

  K with a devilish smile closing his eyes & disappearing in thin air laughed

        “They reached the Gate”

Reviews

[Monroe]

The concept of this story is superb, I quite enjoy the idea of this character who just killed himself being offered pretty much a deal with a devil or grim reaper type of character. Very reminiscent of Spawn, and I enjoy reading your take on a sort of script for what I assume would be a Manga novel? Great work, I would though perhaps suggest a more eye catching title.

[A.Tarek]

I'm more willing to have your suggestions. Actually, I already wrote the whole story long ago with just the title of the book in my mind, so the titles of the chapters -I admit, they were on a wimp.. the editting might be bad, but still hapy you enjoyed it
Feel free to review as you want.. keep guiding me well 😶

[Paula June]

The concept of this story is very different which makes it interesting. I like how you described the strange world they are living in. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

[thalia]

Good job with the details. It's definitely interesting as it describes the world we're living in. At least that's what I think.

[Fatima]

Wow this is brilliant I can't wait to read the next chapter!

[Stephanie M]

Wow! That's an incredible story! That's almost like something I'd write. Good job setting the scene! I've got to check out chapter 2!

[A.Tarek]

Ignore any grammer mistakes.. what do you think of the idea..? it will amuse you more in ch.2
