《SYNCH : the contract formation》Chapter 29
Advertisement
Luise entered her son's hospital room, Steve had been there for five days and doctors had not said anything about him waking up soon.
After returning from the hospital on the day Steve was admitted, Luise and Gerald had spent the night inspecting the video surveillance of their residence.
The recording of each camera had been examined and what they had discovered while viewing the one from Steve's room brought up an avalanche of questions to which they had not found answers.
In the video appeared Steve lying on his bed, he seemed asleep, up to that point everything was normal, the same scene repeated itself until the clock on the wall of his room displayed 2:30 am.
At that moment, Steve sat on his bed with his knees pulled to his chest and his face nuzzle on his torso, he used his hands to cover his ears on the video, you could see his neck becoming redder and redder.
The next few minutes were even more intense as the walls of the room began to shake and the objects around his bed began to crumble. Luise couldn't believe her eyes, a red glow covered Steve as he raised his head. His eyes had become completely red, there was no distinction between his cornea and his irises, his hair stood on his head as if he was touching static electricity, around him appeared electric gleams that started to scatter in all directions.
In the video, Steve appeared to be screaming but no sound was heard, not even that of the debris that was dispersed around him.
"Why can't we hear anything?" Asked Luise.
"Sorry ma'am but we still don't know, we've checked the camera, we've even checked the system to see if it had any anomaly, but Elia was working perfectly well at that time," replied the guard in charge of their security service. "

The minutes that followed the video became more and more unclear, it continued to blur as the image was progressing but a few seconds before it completely stop, Luise saw the silhouette of a man appear.
"Wait," she said.
"Did you see that?" she asked to tom.
"See what?"
"Go back a few minutes," she told the security guard.
"Just there, pause"
In the image a man stood in front of Steve, he had red eyes and long ashy hair. He wore a green robe over what appeared to be an armor.
He raised his head, and surprisingly, his gaze fell automatically on the camera, as if he too, could see them through the glass. Luise felt a shiver pass through her body, she felt herself quivering. She had never experienced such a feeling before as if all forces had been removed from her body. As if everything she was doing was useless, she wanted her son to wake up and seek all types of solutions, any means to make it happen, but at that very moment, she was convinced that all her efforts were useless. As if it was all written, destined to happen.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
