In a flat black where the sky is only gray. “Aizan your last test is to defeat my army then me. This will be a test of limit and a test of self. Then Doro disappears. All Aizan can hear is what sounds like a stampede of animals. Then he sees them from every direction. Human like creatures of all races ages but they have one thing in common. Their eyes glow a soft white and their skin is only black with no clothes. He sees giants, demons, behemoths, humans all around with no weapons other then sharpened claws and the same sick white smile of Doro.
“Well Aizan will find his limit and overcome it and I don’t know what he means by self but I’ll figure it out at some point right now Aizan wants to see a blood bath.” He smirks regular on one side and all the way to his hairline on the other. He grows two more arms with bone swords as arms. And bone spikes out his back. His muscles bulge a size bigger and eyes and mouths appear all over his body. As he lets out a roar and dives into the monsters.
He extends his back spikes into a group of orcs and humans. Then using his two hand blades and spins
Into a whirlwind of death and gore as black chunks and blood fly everywhere. He stops as a giant punches at him and he jumps onto his hand and runs up to its face. Using his regular set of arms throws to bone shattering punches. Then creates a torso mouth and takes a big chunk if it’s head off. It falls limp. This battle goes on for days as bodies pile up but never slow but Aizan’s regeneration begins to slow as he accumulates cuts. His flaw was he believed he was almost immortal until one of his extra arms got cut off and didn’t regrow. “Is this my limit. is there really nothing else left. will I be slaughtered like a pig here. There’s got to be a way around this. I’ve already given up my humanity what else do you want from me. I’m your apothecary. No apostle. It’s not fair I’m only one being you have an army I don’t. Then a light bulb goes off in his head. My limit is I’m only one well I will then make many.”
Using the corpses on the ground he sends a long tentacle arm snake with a wide mouth to eat the fallen bodies. Around him starts appearing a few creature that scare even the author. “I am the apostle of nightmares I am Aizan Slayer of all I am going to show you real fear Doro.” All the creatures unique there are bone monstrosities, flesh abominations, blood golems. But the strongest looking of them all was a giant all black monster with it’s only feature being one giant eye that covers its whole face like a cyclops. But giants only come up to this monsters waist.
“Aizan declares war.”
All hell breaks loose as they kill and kill and kill until none of the enemy are left standing. So Aizan recalls his monsters and turns. As the world changes and everything is just white except it’s a floor but you can’t really see it. The only thing here is Doro.
“Aizan you have come a long way to get back to your world but let me tell you even though you came far this will be the hardest test yet. The test of self.”
“Aizan wants you to go to sleep.” All Doro can do is laugh at the situation he’s gotten himself into by taking this man if you can call him that at this point as his apostle.
Aizan gets into his fighting stance as does the jester Doro. In the blink of an eye Doro slams his knee into Aizan’s face enough to shatter the nose. The kicks him as he fly across the room. It looks as if Doro is walking but he’s keeping up with Aizan’s flying speed from the kick. Doro lands three more hits before Aizan crashes into the ground. “Strong even stronger then the demon king.” Aizan rushes at Doro only to get grabbed by the neck and held in the air. Aizan swings his body around breaking his own neck and lands a clean punch across the jesters face. Aizan’s head snaps back in place as he looks at Doro. As soon as Aizan blinks Doro is gone. Aizan feels his presence like when he phases to another place behind him and ducks. All Aizan feels is the wind from the blow as he throws and uppercut to Doro. Doro lands on a handstand and says.

“If this is all there is too you then you have disappointed me Aizan.”
Doro raises one hand and Aizan is caged in black sludge and can’t move. He screams as it covers his face.
“What is it about Aizan’s self that Aizan doesn’t know. Aizan knows Aizan’s self pretty well. Aizan needs to hurry and think because Aizan hates tight spaces since the coffin. Aizan remembers his time in the coffin.” He also remembers that he changed since the coffin. He’s gone crazy. “Aizan is now crazy So is Aizan not Aizan. Well if Aizan can’t be Aizan then he will not be Aizan anymore. Aizan will now be Zan nightmare of the world.”
Outside of the sludge only a few seconds passed in real time. “I wonder if he died I know he hates being stuck in tight places.” “What the hell is that?” Aizan is standing outside the black goo sitting cross cross just staring at him. “Have you given up Aizan” all Doro hears is a small whisper. As he sees I visible crack go across Aizan’s skin like cracking a mirror. “Speak up” Doro hears the whisper a little louder but this time all around him as Aizan’s skin cracks more. “What are you saying mortal” Then Aizan’s body shatters like glass all and the once white world turns black. As he hears a yell “my name is Zan!!!!”
Doro looks around shocked and intrigued by the display of power. He turns around feeling a presence behind him and turns to see only two giant eyes. In those eyes Doro see the world Aizan came from but the eyes zoom out farther and farther until it sees nothing but a sphere of dirt and water. “Hmm so the worlds are round.” But then it points away and zooms past many more spheres until it stops and turns to something that even put fear into Doro. It was so massive that there’s no word to describe it’s size. It’s skins brownish gray and face elongated going on forever like a tentacle. It has one eye in a triangle shape and a mouth big enough to swallow the spheres like gum drops.
Doro frozen just looks at the monster that could destroy his whole existence without thinking about it.
Then the monster faces toward the direction of the eyes like glass. Doro heart almost stops. He backs away in fright as the monster shrinks down to the size of him and just looks at him approaching. As it reaches the eye it passes through like water sending ripples through the eye. It then approach’s Doro and looks at him. Doro does nothing other then shake. The otherworldly being raises a finger right before it touches Doro is sucked back into The eye. The room returns to white while Zan stands there with eyes white with no pupil but not glowing and says “there are something’s out there scarier then your worlds monsters and demon.” “My new name is Zan and have I passed Doro.” Doro gets up and brushes off his clothes and says “well this is the first time I’ve felt fear good job you are my new official apostle.” He snaps his fingers and they are in a throne room. “Ehem Zan I will now give you two choices. You can return to your world but you will be severely weekend and have a new body because your old one died. Or you can stay here and rule this world. What would you like to do?” “Well that body belongs to Aizan and I wouldn’t want it anyway so I guess I’m going to my old world.” Doro sighs and says “since it will be a long time before I see you here’s a gift. This book will let you teach one person a power of this realm and has information on many of the nightmares that break loose in your world.” “You will be severely weekend while in this world but retain many powers I’ll even let you keep the name because you will be reborn this is about 50 years after your burial.” Zan look at Doro and says as one eye changes from white to regular “Aizan and Zan thank you bye.” The eye reverts to its white state. Doro places a finger on Zan’s head and say “awaken”
