Michael was extremely confused, after going through that for eternity, he suddenly found out it was all just for the enyojment of others? It was impossible to process, all of that torture, no, Hell, he's been in Hell just for entertainment. He had barely been able to push down his impulse on attacking the one who told him this. He had also lied to it out of spite, why should he say the truth to the creature who has caused all of this Hell. When he looked around now, he could see nothing but white, it was as if he was a drawing on a sheet of paper. There was only white, he couldn't feel his body, and he was unsure if he could even hear anything. Then, suddenly a countdown timer appeared. 01:00:00:00:00, 00:23:59:59:00. Michael quickly figured out how long the timer would take to get to zero. The first zeros were miliseconds, then second, minutes, hours and then days. He didn't know why this timer suddenly appeared. At first when it appeared he was confused, but then he started feeling like his chest was about to explode. He looked down but he saw nothing, he moved his arm trying to see himself, but when he put his hand infront of his face, he saw nothing. He didn't know what to do, the searing pain was spreading from his chest to his arms, legs and head. He felt like his body was boiling, he could feel his arms, but he couldn't see or touch himself. He didn't know what to do, he didn't even know if he could see, or if this was just a dream. But then, suddenly what lokked like sphere appeared in front of him. The sphere started expanding, and what looked like an arm stretched out of it, then a second "arm" stretched out from the other side of the sphere. Two "legs" started appearing. After the "arms" and "legs" stopped expanding, what looked like joints appeared att where knees and elbows would be. When it finnished expanding, it looked like a weird manequin, without feet or hands. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, on what now looked like real arms and legs, hand and feet came out. It looked like a normal human, without any hair, genitals or a face. Except those three things, you could've easily mistaken it for a normal human.

Michael started feeling a pull, at first he resisted, but when he realized it was impossible to resist, he gave in. He got sucked into the artificial body. Then the artificial body started transforming. After a short while, it looked exactly like Michael (without clothes). The pain finnaly dissapeared. Michael opened his eyes and looked at the timer again. He didn't know why he was so calm now. He should be screaming in pain because of everything that has happened, screaming because of the knowlege that an endless amount of pain was just for some entertainment. But he was just calm, not mad, not sad, not insane. He had no emotion. He was very curious about why, but he decided to think about that later. Instead, he started analyzing the timer in the sky. It had gone from being 24 hours to 1 minute left. It started counting down. As it started counting down, a wolf slowly appeared. Michael was extremely confused over all, why was a wolf suddenly appearing? Why was there a timer in the sky? But he prepared himself for battle nonetheless, When the timer reached 0, the wolf immediately leapt at him, it tried to bite his arm, but Michael succesfuly dodged the wolfs attack. He quickly got up after rolling on the ground, and leapt at the wolf. He pushed it down onto it's back, and before it could roll over again, he jumped on it's stomach, and quickly got off. The wolf was visibly hurt, it even coughed up some blood. But, despite that, it leapt at him again. Michael kept beating it over, and over again. Punching it, taking out his anger on it. Then, it finnaly stopped breathing.

We join the pair on their journey, Hitori, fighting to prove he belongs amongst the ranks of warriors indisputably his better, and Elvira, struggling to adapt to a world where the trophy for second place is a tombstone. Meanwhile, ancient and powerful forces clash in the shadows, racing across the globe to secure powerful artifacts capable of upending the foundations of the world. New chapters released every MWF. Sorry for the random tiny chapters. I structured and uploaded this as a series of scenes, some of which just didn't need to be very long. I could probably attach the "sub-scenes" to previous chapters, but that'd only be covering it up, so I'm not sure its worth it. Anyway if you find them annoying, let me know, and I'll put some more thought into it. I did, at least, make a point of always posting at least a thousand words on any given day (after I noticed the problem), which hopefully mitigates the problem.
