I was awakened by the loud rattling of a chain. Slowly, I opened my eyes, and my vision was blurred at first, followed by a loud bang in my head. At first, my memory was desolate, but I started scrutinizing the whole place with my eyes.
"See who's awake," a mocking voice said, interpreted by two voices giggling." It seems he is indeed a cat with 20 lives," the voice taunted again.
That is how my mind started replaying the past events in my head. Starting from the scene where I started the commotion by killing Mr Clarkson, how I escaped with my team through the tunnel, the hot pursuit on the desert surface, and the hard collision.
Not only that but how I was awake in the hospital or clinic. How I taunted Ryan and the loud bang that sent me into unconsciousness again.
"Does the syrup work on his physique?" I heard Ryan inquire from behind him from someone I didn't recogn
The remaining soldiers, perhaps 25 in number, stood in front of I and Kira. Their eyes streaked red with fury. I know Ryan intentionally set us up, I know he did it so I couldn't survive. I know the first announcement he made that we should fight each other until death, while the last 5 men standing were the winner is just mythical news so people wouldn't suspect his objective. All the soldiers, who had a black hood covering their faces let out a great battle cry and attacked us. I didn't waste another second as a charge to meet them. I evaded the first man's attack, punctured him in the right eye, and blood gushed out of his orifices. I felt an arrow whoosh past my face and Lodge on the fore-head of another man. Another attack was made at me, but I jumped high, swivelled mid-air and performed a screwdriver's skills by twisting my body twice mid-air. I deflect the law
I don't know how it transpired, and I can't even interpret the kind of vitality, superiority, and adrenaline that surged through my veins. All I know is that I leapt on my feet and flung my body between Kira and the critter. I could see that Kira had already closed her eyes, ready to give up. But I won't let that happen. She had done a lot of things for me, and she deserved to live. It took a few inches for the spear to touch Kira, then I grabbed it midway. The man opened his mouth wide in shock. The crowds suddenly went silent and I could feel Ryan's eyes staring at me as if he had just seen a ghost. "You don't touch my property, especially my precious one," I warned the guy. My voice comes out with anger and fury attached to it. "You shouldn't have even raised a hand to hurt her." The beast stood there in shock. I guessed he and the rest
Feed me more, Mr Ryan. I yell at him, accepting his challenges and tightening a piece of cloth that Kira gave me on my wounds. The crowds roared out in excitement. Many of them were placing their bets on me, while a few of them were going against me. But I don't fucking care. They have activated my fighting and survival instincts, and I will surely give them the bloodshed that they want. "Please, stay safe for me," Kira begged, and I could see the sadness in her eyes. "I will also be your backup plan." "No," I said emphatically. I can take care of myself. Besides, you don't need to stress your injuries, so they can heal quickly. She nodded her head in disappointment, and I patted her on the back. The metal cage made a buzzing sound, then opened wide, followed by a giant creature. He had two big horns on his forehead. His body was red, making him look like a minotaur
"Your enemy might be ampler, tougher, faster, well-built, and more creative than you. But don't underestimate yourself, don't think low of yourself. If you have the heart of a lion, then that is enough of a weapon to face your fear and defeat your opponent. Be dignified, be fearless, formless, and shapeless like water. If you pour water into a cup, it will surely fit. Pour it into a bottle, and it will surely fit. Listen to my messages and teaching, Rey Reed. Never fear the man that can practice a thousand kicks in a few minutes, but rather the man that can practice a single kick a thousand times. I might not be there with you perpetually, but everything I have taught you will serve as a shield that will guard you. They will serve as a crown on your head. Write them on your chest and put some in your left hand so you won't forget. " It was like a reminder; the sight of the beast brought back everything my mom had taught me. That was her far
Theme:- Welcome to the Afterlife part 1 As it was inscribed in the holy book, it was given for a man to die once, and after that death, it is judgement. But for me, Rey Reed, it is different. If my guess is right, this will be the third time I have visited the land of the dead. The first time was when I escaped from the tar pit. I can't remember how long I lost consciousness, but when I woke up. I only opened my eyes in hell. The second is the collision when Ryan and his soldiers were chasing us. I visited my dad, who told me I had yet to accomplish my mission. I was sent back to earth, only to be welcomed back by my worst nightmare again. This is the third time, and I doubt my chance to wake up again. I was indeed a dummy. My dad is right when he said love is a sin, and my emotions will only lead me to an earlier grave. I continue my journey on a lonely path. The night wind was blowing furiously. The l

Theme: Welcome to the Afterlife, part 2 [The Toture]. "Welcome to the Afterlife, Rey Reed Smith." I heard the female voice once again. Deliberately, I began to open my eyes. At first, it was blurred. Everybody in the room is looking like a double luminary in my eyes. My head is banging badly. Not only that, I discovered that I was dangling upside beneath. My leg was attached to the awning while my head was shaking around. Before I could discern what was going on, I felt two heavy punches land on my abdomen, which prompted me to vomit blood. My eyes snapped open instantly and my vision became clear. There is a young blonde lady in front of me. She was wearing a black crust with red leggings, which made her look like the pliers she was holding. Nope, let me call her Airtel sim. Behind her stood three other well-built and hefty beings. They were cladded in long trousers and costume
Theme: Welcome to the Afterlife, part 3 [The skirmish of Survival]. Deliberately, I unwrapped my eyes. At first, it was obscured, but I yanked them open as I felt something cold touching my body. Standing in front of me is Lucifer's bitch, who looks like a plier with a formidable smile on her face. Besides her stood General Zod, while the three other hefty beings stood behind him, and one of them was holding a bucket, which I guessed contained the remaining water. "I can't believe you blackout due to a single punch," General Zod taunted. "Perhaps, you are far more sluggish than I thought." I growled at him, and I could feel anger rising in my veins. "You and your dogs cheated, especially her," I said my gaze now on Esther. "Why don't you divulge me, and let me show you the power of the Smith?" I said this with all the bravery I could muster, w
