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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYfmNAc0g7
Dr. Montgomery's breath hitched as his gaze locked onto a towering, ancient tree at the island's heart. The Tree of Life.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoOtSsvrfO
"Impossible..." he whispered. His voice trembled, a mixture of awe and disbelief.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQXdGtjBnk
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gN4WSoLPr
"This... this is it! The greatest discovery in human history!" Montgomery cried out, his voice breaking with excitement.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloVVGcYdM9
One of the hired men chuckled darkly. "If it's real, then I'm eating first."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVTwtU8gnx
Ignoring the scientist's warning shouts, the man stepped forward, reaching for one of the shimmering fruits. His fingers barely brushed the skin-
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhCvCQklRX
And he vanished.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtj5LfuV5V
No scream. No trace. No sound, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGhtuRXZ1R
The tree remained untouched, its fruit swaying gently.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzi7JHJKZo
Then-a sickening crunch.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQpktArWVW
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhDWFtIOG2
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHO36nlzNE
And then-Abaddon walked out.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMF0fjgiUV
From the dense foliage, he emerged.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQDeGRQfy3
A boy in shape, but nothing human.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcfx4GPX48
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQoVRUSOyQ
His very presence was wrong, a blasphemy against existence itself.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrqRSotAbo
"S-Stop there!" one of the men stammered, his rifle shaking in his grip.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuT9na3GXt
Abaddon turned his many eyes to him.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj6zr3TAbT
The man's bladder released.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LTqdMno4w
In pure instinctual terror, they opened fire. Bullets ripped through the abomination's body-yet he did not slow. He did not bleed.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoEHKQSixa
He did not even flinch.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgATEIv9fIz
Still, he advanced. Step by step.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZnXM8kxUK
One of the men fumbled in his pack, yanking out a grenade. Desperation twisted his features as he tore out the pin-
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcvA0eYpnF
His head vanished.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwTkMDcDhU
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkcTphrEb0
And then-the creatures came.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWS5aVj3jO
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1pLHNQeWg
One of the men, in sheer horrified surrender, turned his gun on himself. "Better to die by my own hand than... than this."
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPKlanPKpU
The shot rang out. He fell.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK3LzZgvN8
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.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFOhvoR65Z
She placed the barrel beneath her chin and pulled the trigger.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQe3oYREta
Her body crumpled beside the others.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8xKeqCpoT
And still, Abaddon stood.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2vRZEhIFz
Watching.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7OkGngrgT
Waiting.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YgGoTBunL
Behind him, the island thrived-its flowers blooming, its fruit ripening in the golden light. A paradise untouched by time, undisturbed by decay.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLWOVgA0J2
Yet no human would ever leave it alive.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtEzZkfmqg
This was The Forgotten Island Called Paradise.
130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKxKVBq93o
And it belonged to him.
