It was almost the last lecture, Liam is just looking at the clock continuously. The more he looks at the time the slower it passes. [Frustrated Liam- HUH! I've been watching the clock for so long and it's still only 10 minutes into the last lecture. Why is it happening today? The more I'm in hurry ,the less time will pass. Liam Sighs! Puts his head on the desk and said in the very low tone, "I really want to talk to Aoi regarding my dream but the last lecture is like my final boss of the video game, Argh!! When will it end?"
Liam changes his head direction towards the window while keeping his head down, He noticed A man is standing near the main gate of the school. He tried to look at him thinking maybe it was the same beggar and suddenly the bell rings, Liam instantly looked at the direction of the sound of bell and got happy that the last lecture ended finally. He gets up, wear his bag on his back and looked outside of the window but the man who was just standing there a minute ago was not there. He ignored that and runs towards Aoi to talk. Aoi was with her friends, She tells Liam to "stand at the main gate of school and I'll join you in few minutes then we will walk home together. "
Liam- Okay! Take your time. [Liam left Aoi behind and run towards the main gate of the school waiting for her].
Liam continuously waiting for Aoi looking at the direction from where she will come. Suddenly a car with group of 3 people stopped in front of Liam and dragged him inside the car forcefully. Every student nearby that incident were helpless because it was too quick to even react. Security guard immediately called police. One of the Liam's classmates runs towards Aoi and told her "[breathing heavily] Some people kidnapped Liam and ran away."
Aoi panicked, "When? Where? I mean Liam is waiting for me, It's all my fault, If I went with Liam instead of my friend's it will never happen. [All she can do is inform Liam's mother. She immediately run to Liam's place].
Liam struggling inside the car screaming and shouting, Who the hell are you? What do you want from me? Why I'm blindfolded? [Because of the closed window of car his voice is not audible for outsiders]. After half an hour the kidnappers reached to their destination, They tied Liam with a rope and dragged him inside an abandon building. Scared Liam is powerless in front of 3 person. He noticed that during this whole incident the kidnappers didn't even say a single word.
The place was so dark and the sunlight is also barely reaching inside. There was someone in the shadow who is giving orders to the kidnappers. "Place him near that box and then you all can take your leave". They do according to their orders and leave that place. [The moment those 3 kidnappers left that building they all looked at each other in shock.
Wait, what are we doing here?
Aren't we going to the beach to enjoy?
How do we ended up here? "The only last thing I remember is that we gave lift to an old man inside the car and the next moment we are here."
The 3 of them sits back in the car and continued their journey in shock and confusion. The police arrived at the place where the kidnapping happened and starts their investigation. Liam's mom was so worried and crying, Aoi is trying her best to confront her but it's not easy for her too. She is also worried about her childhood friend.
[Liam breathes heavily, Sweating all over his body] Who are you? And what do you want? Look Sir, I'm a middle class boy who don't even earn and we don't have a lot of money also to pay you. Have mercy!!
The person in shadow comes in front of him holding a big axe in his hand, All Liam can do is hear the footsteps slowly approaching him. The man sits on his knees and pulls out the blindfold from Liam's eyes.
Liam is now shivering looking at that person and his big axe in his hands. "You!! You are that same old man who first met me in the market then in front of my house and then school. What do you want from me? Why do you have that weapon? Killing me won't benefit you in any ways." [He is speaking those words confidently but from inside he is scared like he is about to cry].
Old man slowly moves his axe towards Liam, meanwhile Liam closed his eyes and started screaming. He lift his axe and cut the rope from Liam's body which was tied by that kidnappers.
Liam slowly opened his eyes and looked that the old man is bowing in front of him and he is also free from his tied ropes. He is confused but also on guard, Quickly he picks up that axe takes 3 steps back and tells that old man to "stay where you are or I'll hit you."
Old man- My lord! Oh my lord! I've been waiting for you from a very long time. [He pulls out a small knife from his pocket and cuts all of his left hand fingers and keeps it in front of Liam].
Liam[Confused and scared]- Why did you do that for, Are you a fucking psycho? First you kidnapped me by sending those kidnappers and now you are bowing and calling me lord! Are you insane and who the hell are you?
Old man- My lord, It is my punishment to bring you here by force. I'm utterly sorry for my inappropriate behavior. And pardon my lord but those aren't kidnappers, they are just some local people's who was in my mind control and were working on my orders. Apology my lord, to use them like a pawns and let them touch you with their filthy hands.
Liam- Wait wait wait. Me a Lord?! and mind control, You are really a mentally ill person who need some serious checkups. Let me get out from here and I won't tell anything to police about you. [Liam turned around and about to leave that place while keeping his guard on].
Old man- My lord! The dream, Still haunts you isn't it?
Liam- What are you even talking about? And what do you even know about me and my dream? Keep your shitty mouth close and let me leave.
Old man- I know everything my lord! The dream, The Deal of devil, Akumaa and even the mirror image of yours who resides inside you.
Liam- [Stopped and his eyes got bigger after hearing this stuffs]. How? You know about this, Do you know what it all means? Tell me everything please.
Old man- My lord! I am here for that purpose only, It is my job to make you remember about everything. The dream you are having was not just a dream it was your memory. The memory from your past which triggers every night and make you see those visions which was from the last calamity. You are the reincarnation of that child who is blessed by the devil himself and got vanished in the thin air a long time ago.
Liam- Wait, let me digest this first. Reincarnation? What do you mean by this and it's just a fairy tale concept, such things don't exist in real life. And what about my mirror image? who is he and why does he looks exactly like me?
Old man- He is none other than 'Dwan Moriarty' himself. He died at the very young age and didn't remember his face so he created himself just like a mirror image of you. My lord! It was all my mistake and fault. Not only Shibuya or Japan but the whole world is doomed if he appears again.
Liam- Who will appear? And how is it all your fault. You know old hag I'm actually pissed right now, First you kidnapped me and now you are telling me something which is not more than a fiction or fairy tale story. Tell me everything in detail which I can understand easily or else I'll fucking kill you with this axe.
Old man- Okay Lord! So as you know about the Deal of devil and the story of that incident. The unknown calamity appears 2nd time and government were helpless to prevent that calamity and they have no choice but to call the devil and deal with him to stop the disaster. They do their rituals and then a devil named Akumaa appeared, after that they placed their deals with Akumaa to stop the calamity. It was actually a big mistake by them, Akumaa wasn't the devil they called. The ritual by that satanist went wrong[Basically there are 2 types of devils, First who will help you and in return they will make a deal in which they want us to worship them or service them with some foods or jewels, Second who will also help you but in return they will make a deal in which they ask some sacrifice and other deals too which will be in favor of that devil and the second type of devil is what Akumaa is].
Liam- You are explaining me like you were there when this incident happened. HUH!
Old man- Indeed my lord! I was there, I am none other than 'The Satanist' himself who did that ritual 500 years ago and ran away from Shibuya after the deal.
Liam- Wait, How are you still alive? How old are you?
Satanist- It was my punishment, my curse. My rituals were all correct and it wasn't my intention to call that devil Akumaa on purpose but he told and explained everything to me when he puts his hand on my head and whispered something in my ear[After saying this satanist panicked so hard and started screaming as he encountered some trauma once again].
Liam- Hey, Calm down. Take a deep breathe and tell me everything. I'm here gramps, talk to me. [Liam pulls out a bottle of water from his school bag and offered him].
Satanist- [After drinking water, slowly calming himself] Sighs! For everyone It was only a few seconds when he kept his hands on my head but for me it was almost an eternity. He gave me immortality so i can call him again in the 4th calamity and showed me every vision of hell and every outcomes which will happen in future. All the devils lives and resides in hell, The devils were once a god but because of their sin and bad deeds they got abandoned in the hell as a punishment. Gods life are so pure and kind hearted ,they don't seek for lust, wealth or any other things which is for their own benefit and if you seeks anyone of them into your advantage you will be identified as a sinner. Akumaa was the most cunning, evil and brutal devil from all of them. He was the devil of devils. To seek the greater heights and to be at the top of all the gods he started a war against them and got lost badly, he was not that strong. Because of his rebel, Gods decided to create hell and throw these types of sinners and evil gods their for eternity.
Liam- So how did the ritual gone wrong if you did it right?
Satanist- I thought that the devil I'll pray and call only will come to help us, But I was wrong. Hell is now originally belong to Akumaa himself. He is no more any prisoner, He is the ruler of the Hell. The more sinner gods got thrown into the hell the more number of allies he was gathering. He knows how to play with their emotions and manipulate them for his own goods. Until one god arrived there, 'Oni' was the kind hearted god who got betrayed by his own fellow gods by being too kind. Akumaa tried to gather him as his ally but he refuse and said that I'll never support an evil persona like you. You are worse Akumaa. Akumaa smiled and said " Oh my brother Oni! You are in hell and still didn't change at all. Well I won't force you, You know I'm also a good hearted just like you(Akumaa gives the creepiest smile to Oni).
Oni was the devil which I prayed for and prepares my ritual but that devil Akumaa brutally murdered him by splitting his mouth and consumed him to gain his powers. It was not by accident that Akumaa appeared, it was his will that he appeared forcefully killing the devil which we prayed for. Akumaa is planning something big to rule over everyone. Not only he split apart his soul in everyone but his souls is actually consuming human life to gain more power and to be strong to take his revenge against the god. His souls are eating life force of each and everyone like some parasite.
Liam- You said that you know every possible future which will happen, so tell me how can we prevent this and fight against that devil Akumaa.
Satanist- I can't tell you the exact incidents that will happen in future because it's a type of vow which is magically bind with me. Even If I tell you one of the incident and you try to change it slightly the timeline will get disrupted and there will be nothing left of this world just like a void. But I can at least say that there is not even a single outcome where we will win, Akumaa will eventually be at the top and in every single future we all are doomed.
Liam- So eventually you are telling me to lose without even trying?
Satanist- My lord! I think I'll leave this decision on you and now I'll take my leave.
Liam- No, wait! Where are you going, I still got more questions to ask.
Satanist- I'm sorry my lord! But they found us and there is nothing more we can talk. Talk to Dwan, He is the only person who will explain you everything. Tell me, Can you call him on your will?
Liam- No, Whenever I sleep only that amount of time I can talk to my mirror image.
Satanist- This means that you are still not mature about your powers and Dwan. Once you learn to call him on your will he will help you every single time.
They finally come! Remember my final message to you my lord, Do not trust anyone except Dwan. [After saying this the police arrives there with the 3 person who kidnaps Liam and arrested the satanist]. Police asked Liam that if he is fine? And takes him back to his house. While Liam was on his way he was processing all the stuffs which had happened in last few hours of his talk with satanist.
