A ship drifted through the mist, its crew tense with anticipation. The island before them was a vision of untouched splendor-rolling fields of flowers, their colors unknown to the world, trees bearing fruit that no human had ever seen or tasted. It was paradise, and yet, something about it felt wrong.

Among the explorers was Dr. Elias Montgomery, a renowned scientist, his assistant Sophia Carter, and ten armed men hired as protection. They had come in search of a legend, a myth whispered through centuries.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04OxqyomSy
Dr. Montgomery's breath hitched as his gaze locked onto a towering, ancient tree at the island's heart. The Tree of Life.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50dkX90El4
"Impossible..." he whispered. His voice trembled, a mixture of awe and disbelief.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMXjNpDwsr
The Tree of Life-a fable made flesh. Its golden fruit gleamed in the dappled sunlight, pulsing with an otherworldly energy. Ancient scriptures spoke of it: Whoever eats of its fruit shall never know sickness, nor death. The key to eternity itself.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1SFNHS6Rc
"This... this is it! The greatest discovery in human history!" Montgomery cried out, his voice breaking with excitement.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc90YKD6ou
One of the hired men chuckled darkly. "If it's real, then I'm eating first."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPJ9X0C8xb
Ignoring the scientist's warning shouts, the man stepped forward, reaching for one of the shimmering fruits. His fingers barely brushed the skin-
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX3KMTgHFd
And he vanished.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4DV6aen5L
No scream. No trace. No sound, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13z0dXSIkD
The tree remained untouched, its fruit swaying gently.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7wXBMHerv
Then-a sickening crunch.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dzajSIdmz
The crew recoiled as something hit the ground. A pile of bones. The very same man who had reached for the fruit-his flesh and organs were gone, stripped clean as if by an unseen force. Only his skeleton remained, curled in a grotesque heap.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOTLEC27pH
A scream tore through the air. Sophia doubled over, vomiting violently at the sight. The guards cursed, scrambling to reload their weapons. The air thickened, pressing in around them, suffocating in its unnatural stillness.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB79OAX0DY
And then-Abaddon walked out.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hirip59zJ
From the dense foliage, he emerged.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLytXwa4CJ
A boy in shape, but nothing human.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv01Vq0vx25
His legs twisted grotesquely backward, yet he moved effortlessly. Three arms twitched unnaturally at his sides, his flesh writhing as if barely holding its form together. Forty-five eyes blinked in an unholy sequence, scattered across his face, neck, and arms. His tongue, long and blackened, dragged across the bloodstained earth.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIKFAXKltV
His very presence was wrong, a blasphemy against existence itself.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF4LZni4xc
"S-Stop there!" one of the men stammered, his rifle shaking in his grip.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk7uh7aMhk
Abaddon turned his many eyes to him.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpEpU8X3qD
The man's bladder released.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zvrl6hM2W
In pure instinctual terror, they opened fire. Bullets ripped through the abomination's body-yet he did not slow. He did not bleed.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa33jHGNRu5
He did not even flinch.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHNH3O9rfu
Still, he advanced. Step by step.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtRc3rVwuu
One of the men fumbled in his pack, yanking out a grenade. Desperation twisted his features as he tore out the pin-
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32jOzR4KhH
His head vanished.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAwKZWvDrF
One second it was there, the next-it simply wasn't. His body collapsed, twitching, a fountain of blood spraying the air as his lifeless corpse hit the ground.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO4pEfY6CO
And then-the creatures came.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbibMkQBX9
They slithered from the shadows, crawling on too many limbs, whispering in voices that did not belong in this world. They did not kill the men-they simply dragged them away, pulling them into the darkness where screams became gurgles.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBxf00yD0j
One of the men, in sheer horrified surrender, turned his gun on himself. "Better to die by my own hand than... than this."
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZXyyy0eim
The shot rang out. He fell.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBR51CFnHb
Sophia, shaking, picked up his gun. Her face was streaked with tears, her lips muttering a silent prayer to a god that had long abandoned this place.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1xkyabmA
She placed the barrel beneath her chin and pulled the trigger.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGBdWHVdmf
Her body crumpled beside the others.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUXLUFSowF
And still, Abaddon stood.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1YaQwddtv
Watching.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx66UaA3HC
Waiting.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwyHpCtser
Behind him, the island thrived-its flowers blooming, its fruit ripening in the golden light. A paradise untouched by time, undisturbed by decay.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx3K27Gx9w
Yet no human would ever leave it alive.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcByAXHOgx
This was The Forgotten Island Called Paradise.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciBk5u9624
And it belonged to him.
