XXX System (has been republished)

The dark chains coiled to Kyle's body like a snake, tightly constructing his movements. His breathing was getting more shallower by the second, as his hp was also depleting by the seconds fast.

'2 more seconds and am dead.' Kyle thought, his mind racing on what to do. His demon skills were locked so he couldn't use his demon skills, or he'd definitely resorted to using transformation. But not only were his demon skills locked, but his stats were now halved. making him more weaker, succumbing to the chains clutches.

His heart raced fast, as his mind spun around with panic and worry. A lingering fear itching in his mind, as he could feel the cold arms of death embracing him fast. Just as another second passed it looked like he was going to die for sure, but he soon felt the chains grip on him loosened.

"What are you doing void eater?" Reaper snarled, seeing void eater cancel his skill. Darting a smug look, void eater simply walked over to Kyle's unconscious body staring at it.

"Killing him this easy is an insult to my works. I prefer to slowly torment my preys before I grant them a peaceful death." Void eater indifferently said, making reaper grunt in anger.

"Just know this is on you!" Reaper snarled with a piercing glare, turning his view from void eater and Kyle.

"Open the portal!" Reaper commanded to which timekeeper slightly bowed, muttering some words under his breath.

"Barack um sembsr!" Timekeeper chanted with his hand stretched forward. A dark portal, just like the one the other necrolite passed through slowly materialized, with reaper stepping through.

"Sorry for my intrusion void eater, but what do you plan on doing with the traitor?" Timekeeper respectfully asked in a humble tone.

"Simple, I plan to bring him home." Void eater calmly said, making timekeeper eyes go wide as he stood frozen in shock.

"Y-you can't possibly mean you want to-"

"Yes exactly.." void eater confirmed timekeeper suspicions, making the latter's heart skip multiple beats but he didn't dare utter a thing.

"Long live the dark side." Timekeeper bowed, as dark fog enveloped Kyle's body lifting him off the ground a bit. The trio then stepped through the portal, as they were transported to an entirely different place.

.....

In a dark space where no visible light could be seen protruding the place, a dark portal formed. A cloaked figure stepped out from the portal, steadily walking forward across the dark rough pointy shards for floors.

Soon after three more figures potruded from the dark portal, with the portal shrinking until it dispersed into thin air.

"Ahh!! It feels good to be home." Void eater sniffed in the damp corroded air, mixed with a hot ionic scent that would choke the life out of any living thing. Walking forward they could see reaper in front, standing in front of a huge towering dominating dark gate with different dark symbols ok skulls, fire, sickle figures plastered on it.

"Are you out of your mind void eater? Bringing the traitor here is stupid even for your calibre!" Reaper growled seeing Kyle in the dark fog.

"It's not your decision to make reaper, don't you dare fucking forget your place!" Void eater said in a cold tone, making sure reaper got the message. Shrugging, reaper didn't utter a word as void eater simply passed him, standing before the towering dark gate with spikes all over it.

Bringing out a strange black dagger he made a deep cut on his palm, placing it to the gate as it's blood flowed down the gate.

'Boom!'

An otherworldly terrifying aura was released with huge gusts of winds, as the gate came alive greedily sucking void eaters blood.

"Woe onto the forgotten souls.."

"Who dares trespasses into the beyond remains in the barren lands!"

"All things holy must die and be reborn under the one who was cast into the shadows.."

Spine chilling whispers echoed from the gates as dark loomy souls, wraiths fluttered from the gates flying everywhere.

"A new soul has entered the unholy realm.." a wraith uttered, staring at Kyle with greedy eyes.

"A demon in the f rank with a soul so dark and yet pure." another whispered.

"His life force critically low on the verge of death. Just my type of meal!" Like a snap they lost it, blaring towards Kyle with evil intent. They're fantasm hands stretched out to grab Kyle's body, like hyenas fighting for their prey.

"Get away from him, he's mine!" void eater commanded, his aura bursting out like a bomb dispersing the hovering souls.

"A soul merged from both sides."

"A soul so delight.."

"Destruction follows wherever he goes, even in death."

"Get rid of him fast, or you might be mine."

Like the prisoners they were they returned back into the gates, confined by the shackles in which they came.

"Darn wraiths, always muttering nonsense." Void eater smirked shaking it's head a bit.

'Clank! Clank!'

Two huge clank sounds pierced through the air, followed by the whirring mechanism of rotors clanking against each other. Soon the huge dark gates parted backwards, opening with an ice cold wind blew against their skin.

Calmly walking forward, the trio then made their way in to the gates with Kyle still in the dark fog besides them. Just like with the dark portal, they'd just stepped through the gates so it was expected to be the same results, but no!

It looked like they were transported to a whole different scenery entirely, but in reality it was the same but slightly different. It was like two parts of a coin, with the other being dark and insidious while this part was a much terrible one.

The same dark rough shard floors could be seen along with cracks of lava spread everywhere, giving the ground a mixture of black and red. The atmospheres was terrifying scorching hot, as the sky are perpetually shrouded in a thick sulfurous haze, casting a sickly yellow and red glow over the barren landscape.

The air thick with the mixture of brimstone and sulphur. Various hollow whispers resounded from the damned souls, floating aimlessly about. A huge blood-red sun could be seen towering above, adding more to the blazing heat.

The area was vast and wide stretching onto the horizon, making one question if there was truly a place this land ended. Walking forward, it didn't take long as they encountered a huge flaming wall reaching about 24 meters high, and stretching far out.

On top were flaming slingshots, operated by brown troll like creatures with no eyes or ears. Stationed below were 12 gates round the wall, with symbols of strange animals that were nothing short of an abomination.

Going to the last gate with the symbol of a cloaked figure holding a dark book, void eater then slowly released his aura. The figure's eye glowed dark red, absorbing the dark aura as it then parted backwards open.

Entering the insides of this place was twice no! Thrice the size of the outside, as various creatures of different shapes and sizes patrolled the ominous street. This terrifying kingdom was then further divided into bigger sections, with lesser dominating structures.

Walking forward, the creatures eyes were fixated on the group, more especially Kyle. They could easily detect one of their own, but something about this demon seemed alluring, as their eyes were glued to him.

"Fuck off!" Reaper commanded authoritatively, making the lesser creatures immediately back out. While the high ranking creatures simply glanced at them, averting their gazes deeming them uninteresting.

"Take him to the cellar with the other prisoners, then join us at the gathering." Void eater commanded, to which timekeeper nodded slightly bowing. The former and reaper then faded into the crowd, leaving only timekeeper and Kyle.

The necrolite then proceeded towards a more secluded path, which led to a more desolate area. Approaching the end of the road, the necrolite simply muttered some words as the wall blurred from sight, revealing a concealed spot.

The area was like half of this kingdom, as various flat like house prisons were littered everywhere, with the troll creatures guarding them.

"Place him in a cellar." Timekeeper commanded dissipating the fog, as two trolls then dragged Kyle off.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about you." Timekeeper grumbled, staring at Kyle's back. Shaking it's head it then turned, as he calmly exited the area with the wall reappearing back.

"Fucking traitor.." The troll by the left snarled, dumping Kyle's body in a less crowded cell.

"We're running out of rooms for low lives like this." The other frowned, as the duo then walked away. Inside the cell, peering red eyes lurked in the shadows staring at Kyle.
