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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFH2ch4z7j
Dr. Montgomery's breath hitched as his gaze locked onto a towering, ancient tree at the island's heart. The Tree of Life.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeBiPTLuoU
"Impossible..." he whispered. His voice trembled, a mixture of awe and disbelief.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZMsfvVCkz
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrYh83Sry4
"This... this is it! The greatest discovery in human history!" Montgomery cried out, his voice breaking with excitement.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5VfsFekHD
One of the hired men chuckled darkly. "If it's real, then I'm eating first."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKFRgxDZ8O
Ignoring the scientist's warning shouts, the man stepped forward, reaching for one of the shimmering fruits. His fingers barely brushed the skin-
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ34lEiNba
And he vanished.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCC3zsdkoF
No scream. No trace. No sound, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJOyQ6Udd
The tree remained untouched, its fruit swaying gently.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT6Y8bNhBy
Then-a sickening crunch.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEsSAdbPXF
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tpo4XuOHV
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4vnAmC42e
And then-Abaddon walked out.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUEX9Y1c0j
From the dense foliage, he emerged.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXT9pyojfq
A boy in shape, but nothing human.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NrSUmwPEO
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfP5f6CYEB
His very presence was wrong, a blasphemy against existence itself.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxzFn8wlt3
"S-Stop there!" one of the men stammered, his rifle shaking in his grip.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhshOY001NT
Abaddon turned his many eyes to him.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHv9xywLGs
The man's bladder released.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN8LlkMbOa
In pure instinctual terror, they opened fire. Bullets ripped through the abomination's body-yet he did not slow. He did not bleed.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5FefUpx2A
He did not even flinch.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE38OkQGlVg
Still, he advanced. Step by step.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO4Vkb5P7h
One of the men fumbled in his pack, yanking out a grenade. Desperation twisted his features as he tore out the pin-
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV7tbFQfhu
His head vanished.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3T2IThu5i
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0SbFWfcdo
And then-the creatures came.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWa8d8SrXh
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX9fKiNPZL
One of the men, in sheer horrified surrender, turned his gun on himself. "Better to die by my own hand than... than this."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj9svpY0Tv
The shot rang out. He fell.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhiPOG87Nq
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAERcIJWGk
She placed the barrel beneath her chin and pulled the trigger.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PAkMYypaK
Her body crumpled beside the others.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tNJyNf5it
And still, Abaddon stood.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgYrzngpx9
Watching.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SeE8MynSm
Waiting.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E6R67lTtP
Behind him, the island thrived-its flowers blooming, its fruit ripening in the golden light. A paradise untouched by time, undisturbed by decay.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5zP7nurHP
Yet no human would ever leave it alive.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF7KTIuE4j
This was The Forgotten Island Called Paradise.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLFVBYh59X
And it belonged to him.
