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.

Dr. Montgomery's breath hitched as his gaze locked onto a towering, ancient tree at the island's heart. The Tree of Life.

"Impossible..." he whispered. His voice trembled, a mixture of awe and disbelief.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsdvy7qrP8
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.

"This... this is it! The greatest discovery in human history!" Montgomery cried out, his voice breaking with excitement.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZc1SGueGj
One of the hired men chuckled darkly. "If it's real, then I'm eating first."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErmwUuKdFg
Ignoring the scientist's warning shouts, the man stepped forward, reaching for one of the shimmering fruits. His fingers barely brushed the skin-
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVekGoUgPRf
And he vanished.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBoIdOIWcC
No scream. No trace. No sound, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrV6XDtyJ9
The tree remained untouched, its fruit swaying gently.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLFXIfrLHp
Then-a sickening crunch.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnnOzqCXpC
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.

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.

And then-Abaddon walked out.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWeYpOhJ0P
From the dense foliage, he emerged.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakiZN6lafH
A boy in shape, but nothing human.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevT9FW63VE
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.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36z7781t7K
His very presence was wrong, a blasphemy against existence itself.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8OTn2jWFG
"S-Stop there!" one of the men stammered, his rifle shaking in his grip.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1euL0bxCa
Abaddon turned his many eyes to him.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjevfqqCEOo
The man's bladder released.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B0Fjdcoxa
In pure instinctual terror, they opened fire. Bullets ripped through the abomination's body-yet he did not slow. He did not bleed.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnitS5PkZWd
He did not even flinch.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6ZjqA4RRc
Still, he advanced. Step by step.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1zU5faFLE
One of the men fumbled in his pack, yanking out a grenade. Desperation twisted his features as he tore out the pin-
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FcolEW1Rl
His head vanished.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8YdKeaaWx
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.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4aHNkqgUN
And then-the creatures came.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Mg16ic7l
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.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTQJNaSKox
One of the men, in sheer horrified surrender, turned his gun on himself. "Better to die by my own hand than... than this."
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIyq9zw6Ws
The shot rang out. He fell.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX2wwASrFD
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.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Sji0iy2m
She placed the barrel beneath her chin and pulled the trigger.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh3pYWzHTY
Her body crumpled beside the others.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoBXhhSYVS
And still, Abaddon stood.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkEuttl6Ld
Watching.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugm0C2WwRk
Waiting.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Gify0Bte
Behind him, the island thrived-its flowers blooming, its fruit ripening in the golden light. A paradise untouched by time, undisturbed by decay.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwNYDELX4U
Yet no human would ever leave it alive.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxKQOtqELM
This was The Forgotten Island Called Paradise.
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc5qbsT5qi
And it belonged to him.
