《Darkness Of Hell》Madonna
Advertisement
Inside the forest, animals hide from their biggest predator, the human soul. The wet feeling of one's fear can be sensed in the humid air. And with the presence of humans, this tense feeling turns into chilling vibes, crawling inside the skin, making them feel terrified.
Winston notices chimps hiding behind the bushes and owls flying away into the dense forest. The whooping and Howling of humans who have come to hunt down animals for toxins.
When humanity's soul starves, love has nowhere to roam, definitely not inside the forest in hell. Hunger can break down the nobility of a human soul, but in hell, you don't have to pretend that you are noble or ethical. No one judges you here for your inhumanity, or simply for your true nature.
Winston walks past the Acacia tree filled with thorns and small leaves. Even smaller ants were walking on a stem avoiding the pointed thorns ready to wound anyone who came to harm them. In Winston's mind, he was trying to make sense of what happened in the bar, he was more cautious now.
What is nectar? Why were they selling him for that? The question was raised in his mind. He didn't have an answer for that yet, but one thing was sure, it's something important that is worth selling a person for it. Winston thinks in his mind and takes out the bottle from his pocket. The dark liquid was spattering with a touch of the silver stream. The liquid looks mysterious and the eye seductive.
Winston put the bottles back inside his pocket. He has almost crossed the forest. He can see the open desert through the dancing trees. Suddenly, he felt like someone was following him, but he walked without showing it. He noticed the small crunching of leaves, which followed his movements. He kept walking until he reached the edge of the wilderness and suddenly turned toward the footsteps making noise.
It was a cat. Soft like foam formed by soap on water. Chunky like a panda. Staring at him with her big curious eyes.

"Madonna?"Winston shouted with surprise and uncertainty. Is it her, or is it some trick that's been playing off? he thinks in his mind.
" Boss", the cat said with an expression that was hard to read.
"What the fuck, you can talk?" Winston said, moving one leg behind.
"This can't be real, my mind is fucking with me again, this whole is my imagination, Madonna is dead", he said while holding his head and closing his eyes. But the next moment, he realises something and opens his eyes. " So does me", he said with an agitating voice.
"Boss, this is me. I am real. We both are dead." Madonna said, moving her front right foot forward. Winston was feeling anxious, his whole life he has faced death so many times, that he almost stopped being afraid of it. But death is more complex than that. The ideas of loss, everything that you loved and cared for was gone, leaving memories behind to torture.
"Calm down boss, it will go away", Madonna said with a delicate voice.
Winston comes back to his senses. There is a sense of happiness inside him, seeing Madonna, but he doesn't want to acknowledge it at that moment. Because what if it is all just a dream or some trick. He has already felt the pain of loss, and now he was trying to avoid it by not getting attached to something that can be lost.
" What are you doing here?"Winston asks, grasping his conscience.
"What do you mean? This is hell, this is where I should be." Madonna said, stepping closer to Winston, remembering his face from her memories when she used to live with him.
" I don't understand", Winston said with wonder.
" Only a human soul can go to heaven, every animal has to come back to hell", Madonna said as she had already accepted her fate.
Winston felt bad for her, for a moment, and said, " So what about me? I am going to be born as human again and get my chance to be in heaven?" It was a bit of a relief for him.

Madonna chuckled, and said, " it's not long that you have been here, are you?"
" no, maybe a day or two, I didn't fully understand the days here yet", Winston said while trying to remember the moment he arrived. It was a bit hard for him to remember, it's not that long so he was a bit surprised by his memory.
"It's hell, it has a completely different rule, you will get to know it," Madonna said and started walking.
Winston was following Madonna, he was still not sure about her existence, and lately the way his mind behaved he is becoming more and more uncertain.
" So you need to find nectar, as soon as you can, otherwise your memories will start to fade away," Madonna said while walking, twirling her fur left-right. " and if you don't have nectar for long you will degenerate into the animal soul", she looked behind while finishing her sentence just to see Winston's reaction.
" what?", a deep worry crawled inside him, thinking about becoming an animal, he was speechless for a moment, lost in his imagination. A part of his mind already started to imagine himself as a cat-like a madonna. He shook his thoughts in his mind and tried to ask something but the question in his mind couldn't be conveyed in words. And he stays silent, looking at Madonna, who was enjoying his expressions.
The forest was left far behind, it was a desert. Winston was following Madonna brief silences walking between them, they were about to reach Warrington. Even though they were not talking it felt like they were having the most significant conversation in that silence.
Winston found Madonna when she was tiny, like a mouse. She was looking so delicate, which abducted his heart, and he took her with him to his home. She used to walk around with him all the time whenever he was home. It's the language of silence that they have spoken their whole life. It was what they were comfortable with rather than words.
They reached inside the city, and different kinds of animals were walking with humans like a pet. A tall young man with a clean shave followed by a white dog hanging his tongue out passed beside Winston. Dogs look at a Madonna for a moment and then keep following the man. An old woman standing beside a monkey was arguing with an old half-bald man, there was a crab between his legs crawling on the ground. Shops selling toxins and nectar, small and big bottles of colourful liquids placed on the shelf watching the pedestrian. Only faces change, but lust and greed in the eyes remain the same. There was bidding going on, a group of people were circling the pigs and goats and three men and one woman tied with a rope on their hand and fear had entirely taken over the lust in their eyes. Fear of death, fear of extinction is something common that stays with a person even after his death.
Two and a half bottles for a woman, a man shouted, he was old and had a white beard, wrinkles on his face have completely hidden behind his long and thick beard. He was blushing while he shouted, and a woman noticed the perverts in his eyes. And with her stare man who had already taken her to his bed in his dream, almost got an orgasm.
The desire for lust is the kind of thing that eats you and leaves you starving. But people often choose this hunger, to pass their time, because without this hunger they will need to face who they are inside. Which is a not good idea for many, not perhaps in hell.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
