Chapter 7

The darkness engulfs my mind as I fall into deep slumber, a white space appeared before me. I glance through my surrounding and all I could see was the foggy white empty space. I looked around again to confirm whether my eyes are playing tricks on me. This time, a huge wooden door appeared behind me, with its medieval appearance and mold growing at the corners of the door. Why is there a door here? Is this a dream? Why am I here? My thoughts travelled in my mind as I observe the door in front of me.

I walked towards it feeling attracted to it. I want to know what is behind that door. I was in a trance as I felt like a magnet pulling me. Standing before the door, I was contemplating whether I should open the door. However, curiosity got the better of me and decided to open the door. I lay my hands on the door, it felt rough to the skin as I used all the energy I had in my body to push. The door did not bulge one bit at all as if it is a boulder.

“You cannot open the door, my friend.” I heard voice behind me.

I turned around and saw a figure. The figure is completely white with no face, hair or any human characteristic. It looked like a humanoid, but I got feeling it is not human. Surprising, I was not afraid of it despite not resembling a human. It’s voice, however, was unknown to me whether it is male or female.

“Who are you?” I asked curiously.

“I am called by many names, some called me God, some called me Savior, some called me a devil, you can call me however you want.”

“Is this a dream?”

“No, this is not a dream. It is the dimension I created to meet you. I am actually the one who created this world you lived in and control it.”

“Why was my family killed?! This is unfair, they did not do anything wrong, why did you assign this fate to me?” I was shocked when I heard what the figure said and retaliate back at him.

Stolen story; please report.

“I did not assign this fate to you, it was the 12 Evil Gods that assign this fate to you. “

“Aren’t you the one who control this world? Why the 12 Evil Gods assign this fate to me?”

“No, I no longer control this world. Long time ago, I created this world for living beings to live as I want to discover how the living beings live their lives. When humans created their Kingdoms and empires, wars began to rage on, greed and despair was shown in their struggles. I saw the dark side of humanity, it was saddening to see this happening, but I continue to not interfere with their warfare. However, things started to change, it was a change that I did not expect. The 12 Evil Gods were born from the dark side of humanity and began manipulating rulers governing their land. They created more violence and despair which spurs hatred among the people whom lost their loved ones. All of this became the dark energy that feeds the 12 Evil Gods causing them to grow stronger. I tried to interfere, but it was too late as the 12 Evil Gods became too strong and overpowered me. I flee away from them and created a power that could slay the 12 Evil Gods. However, the 12 Evil Gods found out and the power was destroyed into 12 fragments, each having part of my soul. The 12 Evil Gods sealed me as I used most of my strength to create the power. The 12 fragments are then spread throughout the world to lay its roots in the ground, but you manage to find it and be acknowledged as the owner. The 12 Evil Gods found out about it and assign this fate on you to prevent any hope of slaying them.”

I am currently in utter shocked at this moment as I did not expect my fate to be this deep. I felt like my mind has gone blank from hearing this wild story. I could not believe it, but I had to since what the figure said was true. I found a light in the ground and felt like it was calling out to me. I did not expect this light would be the cause of my fate. However, I could not accept what the 12 Evil Gods did. I do not want others to experience what I had gone too. The pain and suffering of losing my family was heavy for me to bear.

“Ray, you are the chosen one who is destined to walk this path. Find the 12 fragments and slay the 12 Evil Gods.” The figure declared to me.

At this point, I decided to accept my fate and move on from my revenge. I want to help others and prevent sufferings from falling upon this world. I WILL SLAY THE 12 EVIL GODS. Suddenly, the space around me started to twist and turn. A light shine upon me as I open my eyes. Ah, it is morning, the day when I will start my journey to find 12 fragments.
