《Book 1: Demonic Wolfsbane》Chapter 6
Advertisement
When Kaleb awoke he was strapped to a cold metal table restrained by chains around his feet, legs, hands, arms, and forehead limiting his movement as much as possible.
As he tried to move his head to look around and failed, he was forced to swivel his eye’s to get a better look at his surroundings and as he saw them he almost wished he hadn’t looked, for at the edge of his vision he saw his mother and father battered and bruised within an inch of life, blood covering most of their bodies.
Struggling to get free Kaleb finally gave up after a few minutes when he discovered it was useless all he got for his efforts were the chains digging and cutting deeper into his skin, causing fresh wounds and pain.
As he lay there he felt horrible for getting his parent’s into this, and why??!, just because he saw something he shouldn’t have by accident, he was sheltered most his life, living in a small village but he constantly read books about all sorts of things even story’s about great villains and even greater heroes, sadly his real life experience was a lot less and before he even got to leave this small corner of the world he resided in, he was going to die, and he was going to take his parent’s life with him.
Kaleb lay there thinking this when Elder Sloan walked into the dungeon, and started gloating to himself about how much torment he was going to cause to Kaleb and his parent’s.
Elder Sloan decided to start with Kaleb, pulling of his finger nails, and toe nails, then breaking each finger and toe, before chopping them off bit by bit, until he was left with four stumps and no legs or hands.
Then he started peeling the skin of Kaleb starting from the bottom of his leg stumps all the way to the head, all while Kaleb let loose screams and tears mixed with blood and snot trailed down his face. Kaleb swore that if by some miracle he survived this he would find out why this was happening to him, and get his revenge on all those who wronged him.

Elder Sloan stopped after he had peeled of all Kaleb’s skin letting the exposed meat of his body sting with pain from just the air coming into contact with it, and every-time he shifted his body, pain would run all over his body.
As Kaleb thought this couldn’t get worse he saw Elder Sloan Walk over to his parent’s and say “I’m going to do the exact same thing to them that I did to you, and seeing as how you’ve experienced it for yourself you know how much suffering they are going to go through, before I finally kill them kkkehehehe” he laughed evilly.
Hours crawled by and the stench of blood grew thicker in the air with each passing minutes and the cries of anguish grew louder and louder until they turned into weak sobs of sorrow, until finally all was quiet.
Elder Sloan walked over to the metal table Kaleb was on, he carried over the two severed heads of Kaleb’s parents and put them right in front of him to see, before he started to slowly disassemble Kaleb’s body inch by agonizing inch, until finally the last thing Kaleb saw in this life was the cruel Smile of Elder Sloan.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!
