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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKTdeMxpey
Dr. Montgomery's breath hitched as his gaze locked onto a towering, ancient tree at the island's heart. The Tree of Life.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY85FM4l9is
"Impossible..." he whispered. His voice trembled, a mixture of awe and disbelief.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuh8gmbIvz
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W2ngfoedo
"This... this is it! The greatest discovery in human history!" Montgomery cried out, his voice breaking with excitement.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFebOZzw7g
One of the hired men chuckled darkly. "If it's real, then I'm eating first."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNw58u4dHd
Ignoring the scientist's warning shouts, the man stepped forward, reaching for one of the shimmering fruits. His fingers barely brushed the skin-
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxHD92kdee
And he vanished.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IUPpt0Y12
No scream. No trace. No sound, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm2HzNoXE0
The tree remained untouched, its fruit swaying gently.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy2pk8h1li
Then-a sickening crunch.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BkK5pSNdz
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Q9DzC7kN
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKzZSb2aTa
And then-Abaddon walked out.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlasRhiKNF
From the dense foliage, he emerged.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uWdgEIePc
A boy in shape, but nothing human.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ5Hv7vh9O
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKP1Scs8iz
His very presence was wrong, a blasphemy against existence itself.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOK258ILj8
"S-Stop there!" one of the men stammered, his rifle shaking in his grip.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh5X7iaDB8
Abaddon turned his many eyes to him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FnoAE7083
The man's bladder released.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJAB1AEVWQ
In pure instinctual terror, they opened fire. Bullets ripped through the abomination's body-yet he did not slow. He did not bleed.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu9bQ6kXvN
He did not even flinch.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEkgCaMDT0
Still, he advanced. Step by step.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcqVv16T41
One of the men fumbled in his pack, yanking out a grenade. Desperation twisted his features as he tore out the pin-
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPJJtIFKJ
His head vanished.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HBTbUJIEY
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy12HFJkgW
And then-the creatures came.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGrkdSgkmz
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSvDFiRD9X
One of the men, in sheer horrified surrender, turned his gun on himself. "Better to die by my own hand than... than this."
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCdiNPakNT
The shot rang out. He fell.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6G3HhqRFn
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.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlcVUf6WSW
She placed the barrel beneath her chin and pulled the trigger.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndJWeDaRKf
Her body crumpled beside the others.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUc8Cu3rWF
And still, Abaddon stood.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm5SoT1JwX
Watching.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IxWKlhede
Waiting.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bJrgROZ55
Behind him, the island thrived-its flowers blooming, its fruit ripening in the golden light. A paradise untouched by time, undisturbed by decay.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ZUQPMEcX
Yet no human would ever leave it alive.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvMBceS9Za
This was The Forgotten Island Called Paradise.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYDWr8xvlj
And it belonged to him.
