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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWslnvsB0SZ
Dr. Montgomery's breath hitched as his gaze locked onto a towering, ancient tree at the island's heart. The Tree of Life.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEhUlb4NQo
"Impossible..." he whispered. His voice trembled, a mixture of awe and disbelief.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtYCM53C58
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP2bNNodza
"This... this is it! The greatest discovery in human history!" Montgomery cried out, his voice breaking with excitement.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm9m0iMO2s
One of the hired men chuckled darkly. "If it's real, then I'm eating first."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUUaWofEax
Ignoring the scientist's warning shouts, the man stepped forward, reaching for one of the shimmering fruits. His fingers barely brushed the skin-
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyt7YJl7A6
And he vanished.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9yZXAdzKJ
No scream. No trace. No sound, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeMfhImraK
The tree remained untouched, its fruit swaying gently.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYyYURbXKZ
Then-a sickening crunch.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss7gx5OUCr
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPfpSolpGC
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeShRs6TVh
And then-Abaddon walked out.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BQIN0iu8z
From the dense foliage, he emerged.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2IOkmWBmq
A boy in shape, but nothing human.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5VRvEaO12
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PFlt4iEYr
His very presence was wrong, a blasphemy against existence itself.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1XzDBotht
"S-Stop there!" one of the men stammered, his rifle shaking in his grip.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBMndJGVua
Abaddon turned his many eyes to him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hFwcv39ZK
The man's bladder released.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYVUH5tcKj
In pure instinctual terror, they opened fire. Bullets ripped through the abomination's body-yet he did not slow. He did not bleed.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX7GdC9FNW
He did not even flinch.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM9t4QmOsH
Still, he advanced. Step by step.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpSOOdyvNU
One of the men fumbled in his pack, yanking out a grenade. Desperation twisted his features as he tore out the pin-
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYetf5LfKt9
His head vanished.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfebHdw2taG
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xqYmmow0k
And then-the creatures came.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbZChR6uDV
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZHGW9id44
One of the men, in sheer horrified surrender, turned his gun on himself. "Better to die by my own hand than... than this."
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiW4nRGYCK
The shot rang out. He fell.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNmwHzQQRl
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai1hxdaA17
She placed the barrel beneath her chin and pulled the trigger.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6LuksDAe2
Her body crumpled beside the others.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0bWrgioHg
And still, Abaddon stood.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJGMyHL77h
Watching.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkARqolRyAC
Waiting.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEq3CJdZ87
Behind him, the island thrived-its flowers blooming, its fruit ripening in the golden light. A paradise untouched by time, undisturbed by decay.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBSR5DUeA3
Yet no human would ever leave it alive.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CFoIluNGJ
This was The Forgotten Island Called Paradise.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W9B5h78za
And it belonged to him.
