Chapter 2 - The Forgotten Night (2)

As the sky shatter, the boys gaze fixed forward, he was lost at word at what he sees, a sky breaking like a tattered window glass, the surrounding sceneries become black like just lost in space, at first he think it just an illusion from a fatigue, he just from the city to the edge of it of course he tired from it, but that thinking disappear as soon as a he hear a voice

"What a pellicular life from"

Those word come from a giant figure right in front of him.

A giant skeleton towering at 5 meters tall, it speaks while looking at the boy like how humans see an animal, inspecting him like a child inspecting a toy.

The boy was confused, scared, and at loss at word

"It can speak" the boy thought

While the boy was still confused, the giant skeleton figure came down from the shattered sky, and came right in front of the boy.

The boy looking up at the giant figure still frightened and with an instinct like looking at a predator he stepped back, the moment the stepped back something weird happened, he didn't move from that spot at all, he still standing at the exact spot where he was, the boy confused "what I just stepped back right?"

He tried to do it again but the exact same thing happened, and then he tried to run, he twisted his body backward and ran with all his might but a strange thing happened again, he was standing again in front of the skeletal figure.

At that moment he realizes something, it was pointless to run, it was too late, the moment he sees this thing his fate was decided.

While seeing the giant skeletal figure and still thinking how to escape this situation, the skeletal figure asks him a question.

"Are you a human?"

The boy who still tried to escape from his spot, stopped for a moment, and tried to answer the question, he tried to spit out a word from his mouth while terrified.

"I'm a human", the boy answered.

"I see so you're a human"

The boy is confused by what just happened in front of him, a giant skeletal figure comes from the sky, asking him a question "are you human", and now he knows something or he realizes something, the world has become unstable.

The moment this giant skeletal figure descends, his surroundings become distorted, black veil of night is no longer, it changes to a static scenery, even the star in the sky starts to look like static that appears in the television or laptop monitor.

The skeletal figure looked satisfied with the boy's answer, and then the next thing it said was "I see, so I have succeeded breaching the fifth realm.

"The fifth realm, what does that mean?" the boy thought to himself as he heard what the skeletal figure murmured to itself, and then the boy opened his mouth asking question.

"Who are you?"

The boy asked a question, what is the creature or being right in front of him right now and who are they.

The skeletal stopped for a moment, and pondered the boy's question, the skeletal figure showed a visible confusion on its face. Even though it didn't have a skin to show expression but for a moment it seemed like it wavering, the boy didn't understand how a skeletal figure like him could show that kind expression, and then it answered the boy's question.

"A mere insect dare to ask a question"

The moment it said that word, the boy felt an immense pressure crushing him, it felt like his body was being crushed.

At those words, the ground beneath him cracked. An invisible weight crushed him down. His bones screamed in agony as he collapsed to his knees.

The voice was cold and arrogant.

The boy gasped for air as the unseen pressure tightened around him. Pain seared through his body like fire beneath his skin.

"I'm the one who do the questioning here"

"I feel like my body is being crushed by a giant boulder and immense pain rushes into every part of my body" the boy thought to himself while crushed to the ground.

While the boy is in excruciating pain, the giant skeletal figure scoffed at him and said "you're asking me what am i?"

The pressure stops and the boy now can move his body, while still in agony, he tries to stand up and looks at the giant skeleton in front of him.

"I'm the abnormality of world, ■■■■■■"

The boy couldn't comprehend what it just said, and then something thing happen, his vision become red, he's coughing blood, from inside his eardrum blood bursting out, his entire body excruciating pain, it's looked like the boy just exploded, no it's not it's like exploding, it more correct to say the moment he's hear it speaks it name the boy body could comprehend it or shouldn't hear it or known it.

The boy fell into the ground, drenched in his own pool of blood he tries to speak, but the only thing that comes out is blood, his throat is full of blood,

he can't speak, his vision is blurry drenched in blood, and he becomes deaf his eardrum gushing out blood.

"What a weak creature, I just answer his question, and he's dying already"

The creature said something but the boy can't hear anything anymore.

Still laying in the ground the boy thought goes somewhere else, he thought of today happening, he just got kicked out from his home, his mother and father doesn't recognize him as their child anymore, he betrayed his only family and now he about to die from an unknown creature that come out from the sky.

In his last effort he tries to speak something, "mother father I'm sorry", I'm sorry I lied"

What came out from his mouth was an apology to his parents.

"Is this a punishment for me, because I did a bad thing, because I lied to everyone?" The boy thought in his mind.

"If I knew this would happen, I wish I could apologize directly to mother and father."

Tears fell down from his red eyes, a regret still lingering in his heart, and the memories of today's event flowed to his mind.

It was the boy's last word before his vision became blurry, and his heart stopped beating, and then the light in the boy's eyes faded.

While watching the boy die in agony, the skeletal figure thought to himself.

"What a fragile creature" it muttered

"It be a wasted to leave his body unused"

While looking at him, and pondering what to do, the skeletal figure comes to a conclusion.

It smile, an eerie smile surfaces in his non-existent skin on its face.

"Be happy human, for your have a grand purpose"

The skeletal giant hand levitate the boy body with an unknown force, and bring it to the front of it face, and declare "be happy human, for you have a grand purpose, it is to become my vessel, the vessel of overlord".
