In a deep jungle, filled with the sound of small animals and covered with white mist. The sky is already dark, is just a moment ago since the sunset. Logically nobody except animals should be in this jungle. Who stupid enough to enter a jungle near night ? But in this jungle, a boy is currently walking through the jungle. He has black hair and blue eyes, wearing a t-shirt covered with a jacket and long black pant. His name is Rey Ernst. He still only 12 years old.

"Where am I ?" Lamented the boy

His eye is wet with tears and filled with fears. Meanwhile, his feet is shaking fiercely as if he almost can't walk. Sometimes he stopped, covering his head with his hand and cry. He can't cry loudly because afraid of attracting some animals. But he knows that if he wanted to escape from this nightmare, he must keep walking. He clearly realized this as he gripped his hand, and continue to walk.

This nameless jungle or usually called 'haunted jungle' is famous in his city. Many locals said that once the church in the city hunted a witch. Even if surrounded, It said that the witch managed to run into the jungle before finally, she commits suicide. Some people said, before she died, she had shouted " Fuck this game ! How can I even finish this." But it already has proven as false since the historical document tell that she was mute since her birth.

Since then the jungle filled with a white mist in the night. It is already an unwritten rule to forbid someone to enter the jungle alone at night. Because of occasionally some people suddenly went missing in this haunted jungle.

Why he got lost anyway ? It started because he wanted to brag. One of his classmate in the school brags that he entered the jungle alone in the night. He received many of his friend attention that day.

Rey is someone who only has few friends. Many classmates avoid him because of his gaming hobby. He liked to play an online game, and his favorite game genre is MOBA.

But he felt lonely, so he wanted to get more friend. He also wanted to brag the same thing to his friend. With a firm resolution, he decided to enter the jungle at the next day.

After that day, Rey decided to enter the jungle at 5.00 p.m, since its near night at the time in his country. But soon he realized that it was the most stupid thing he does. After he had walked in the jungle for a few minutes, suddenly his memory went fuzzy. He forgot which path he was taken

The smart thing to do if you face the same situation is to go straight back. Even if he forgot, it's unlikely that he will go lost. But when he went back, the sight that greeted him is different from what he remember, or he vaguely remember. He saw a big lake. The color is clear blue, with a beautiful a half moon shadow on the lake.

But seeing this beautiful scene, instead appreciate the scene, he was scared. Great fear showed from his eyes. 

"Impossible!"

He clearly not wrong, from the lake he can spot three weird points. First, this day the moon should be a full moon, not a half moon. Secondly, there should be no lake in the jungle. Many people arrived here to survey the jungle, but of course, they didn't dare to enter the jungle at night. Nobody ever mentions about a lake in the jungle. Even if he still a child, hearing the legend about the jungle since he still a baby, it's impossible to be clueless.

And the third is . . . . It's already night.

Yes, he didn't realize that it is already night. It should be just a moment ago he entered the jungle, he even still remembered the warm feeling of the evening. He didn't even see a sunset, and now it's suddenly night ?

"Run !" Screamed Rey on his mind.

After he had run, Rey became even more lost in this jungle. Without he realizing, he entered the core part in the jungle. And that's how he finally lost. He didn't even bring a backpack or compass. 

He already left his backpack in his home before he walked to the jungle. A 12-years-old kid still didn't understand what preparation for rain meant. He thought nothing would happen to him. He just 'visiting' a forest

Rey keeps walking, hoping a miracle.

"Maybe my parent already realized my missing, and already contacted the police. Maybe, I should stop ?" Thought Rey with a little hesitation.

"Yes, that must be !" On Rey's face blossomed smile.

"I should have waited for a help earlier . . . ."

"Eh ?"

In front of him, a tree is glittering with black light. Rey was suddenly terrified by this sight. He wanted to run, but his feet as if paralyzed, can't move. Then he noticed a small black crystal hanging on one of the tree branches.

He realized that it's not the tree, but the crystal that emits black light. The shape of the crystal looks like an octahedral shape.

Suddenly a desire to take the crystal burned in his heart out of nowhere. As if Rey enchanted, he really wanted to touch the crystal. He already forgot the fear that he already have.

"How to take that . . .ah, rock !"

Rey lifted a nearby rock, then threw it to the crystal. Rey didn't know there is a chance he will break a normal crystal if he threw a rock at it.

"Clack"

The rock missed the target, it only hit nearby branches. Rey immediately searched for another rock and threw it to the crystal.

"Clack"

It missed again. He throws another rock again.

3 times . . . 4 times . . . 7 times . . . 

Finally, at the eight throw, he managed to hit the crystal. The crystal fell to the ground.

"Peng !" When the crystal touched the ground, Rey can hear a sound like a metal fell.

"Finally !" On Rey's childish face blossomed a piece of happiness.

Out of curiosity, he touched the black crystal. An unimaginable thing happened.

Rey felt a sharp pain on his right hand. The pain was similar to be stabbed 1000 times with a knife.

"Aaaaaaaah !" Screamed Rey, his face revealed pain, and his eyes almost bulged out.

The pain spread, from his hand to his stomach, and finally to his heart. When the pain reached his heart, Rey felt like his body smashed and cut into countless piece alive. The pain was so horrifying that maybe an adult will die because of a mental shock, but weirdly Rey didn't even fainted as he keeps screaming.

Then after a few seconds, the pain spread to his entire body. At this point, Rey felt a pain that unimaginable to human. He really wanted to faint or maybe dead so the pain will end. But it won't.

The pain still continued to last even after 1 minute. After 1 minute, Rey felt he lost the feeling in his hand. Right now his hand decaying, become blank. It then spread to his entire body. His whole body become black like ash. Unknowingly, when Rey's body decayed, the black crystal also decayed. It size only half left

A darkness gradually started to overcome his mind, he almost lost all of his control to his body, he even didn't felt the pain, which it relieved him. He closed his eyes, and smiled.

A gust of wind blew out, Rey's body like an ash flew to the sky. Nothing remained, not even blood.The black crystal was already gone, maybe it followed Rey to the sky, or is it?

- - - - - - - - - - -

What can Rey only see is only a whiteness, or maybe it's a void? He can't even feel his body or maybe right now he didn't have a body.

Even if he didn't have any face, he cried. He didn't let any sound, but in his mind, he screamed

"Mother !! Father !!! Help me !!!!"

and cried

"*Sobs* where am I ? Why this happening to me ?"

He still only 12 after all. 

Suddenly he heard a faint sound, and because of shock it successfully stopped his cry.
