In the spiritual realm after death, folklore tells of seven ominous gates appearing before the departing soul. Each gate leads to different levels of hell, filled with suffering and torment. Religious stories say that going through these gates means traveling through nine circles of intense punishment, each layer reflecting the gravity of one's sins and the harsh trials that await.
The relentless torment, burning pain, and complex layers of damnation create a picture of divine judgment, showing the consequences of one's actions. Yet, within these trials, there is a hint of hope. Absolution might await, cleansing the soul of its sins and offering a chance for redemption beyond what we can understand.
In religions that believe in karma and the afterlife, punishment goes beyond just being in hell. It is linked to the negative karma one gathers throughout their life. Human life is seen as a precious chance given to people to make choices within their fate. Even with hard truths and tricky paths, people have the power to shape their own lives.
Overcoming these challenges is key to creating a desired life, with no outside help possible. The great luck of having a human life highlights the importance of this chance for spiritual growth and progress.
In religious beliefs, it is often thought that actions driven by greed or wrongdoing, even towards animals, can weigh down the soul. It's said that such actions can lead to extreme experiences: suffering from intense heat as a consequence for their misdeeds and enduring bitter cold as a reflection of the pain they've caused others. Despite these trials, they continue to exist, carrying the burden of the emotional turmoil caused by their betrayals and the suffering they inflicted on others.
Across many lifetimes, the cycle of reincarnation continues, giving the soul endless chances for rebirth. But because many souls pass through different realms, there is a quick flow into the realm of suffering. Here, every wrongdoing by individuals will be met with fair consequences, ensuring each soul faces the results of their actions.
In an era when humanity was less burdened by extreme emotions, only a scant few souls returned to the depth of hell. As time unfolded, humans gained the capacity for both virtuous and malevolent deeds, yet loopholes persist due to the constraints imposed by heaven and earth. Thus, not all souls find their destined path back to hell for reasons unknown. To rectify this, a designated envoy, chosen for their expertise, was dispatched in adherence to the dictum of hell-a law that governs these matters. This dictum commands the qualified agents to traverse diverse planes in pursuit of those who perpetrate evil. Contrary to human perception, the judge overseeing these affairs lacks a name, much like all denizens of hell. Names elude the entirety of the infernal realm's inhabitants.
In many realms, beings called each other by numbered codes, similar to how people have names on Earth. Among this vast cosmic expanse, numerous realms resembled Earth in their chaos. The idea of hell's existence filled all rational beings with fear, even though they didn't know exactly where it was. This widespread knowledge of hell's existence hung over the thoughts of all living beings, crossing boundaries of what is known and unknown, surrounding the entity with an aura of deep fear.
In spiritual beliefs, hell is seen as a real place where all beings, including humans, go through reincarnation. While people debate the existence of God, everyone agrees that hell exists, sparking many theories. Despite these theories, we still don't fully understand what hell is like, how long it lasts, or how it continues to exist.
The innocence seen in a newborn baby reflects how souls are mirrored in reincarnation. When a baby is born, its soul's memory and essence are cleansed, like starting anew before entering the cycle of reincarnation. This fresh start is a spiritual rebirth without the weight of past experiences or memories. However, people who carry burdens from their past lives cannot avoid facing their consequences in future lives. Some aspects of life are meant to be experienced rather than seen as punishments. These ongoing challenges and unresolved issues persist across lifetimes, pushing individuals to confront and navigate them as important parts of their journey, not just punishments.
In the fifth level of hell, there is an eerie quietness that contrasts with the chaos within. Sinners in murky swamps struggle endlessly against relentless soldiers. Their screams echo through the desolation, lost in thick darkness. Only the realm's agents can see this haunting abyss. As he saw the approaching soldiers, primal fear gripped his soul, urging him to run. Despite trying to escape, he couldn't, and quickly felt the soldiers' crushing weight again. His cries echoed as he endured torment that seemed endless. His form kept reforming, only to be crushed again by the soldiers with relentless speed, making it impossible to count the cycles of suffering.
Near the murky depths of the swamp, a solitary figure stood amidst the chaos, unperturbed by the surrounding torment. His countenance was strikingly peculiar, marked by eyes of deep crimson that seemed to pierce through the darkness. His visage held a captivating yet eerie allure, blending beauty with an unsettling aura of dread. He bore the appearance of a fallen deity, embodying both greatness and a haunting sense of mortality.
The A4A822 Dead God summoned the man whose anguished screams filled the desolate swamps. This tormented soul, once a soldier, carried a heavy burden—he had killed his own wife. He falsely accused an innocent person and subjected his daughter to cruelty before giving her to lustful soldiers. Before coming to this realm, he caused chaos by bombing thousands from another human planet, similar to Earth. But here in this hellish place, such sins bring severe consequences, as taking a life leads to the destruction of one's soul. He will endure relentless torment and excruciating trials until his soul is completely shattered, destined for eternal oblivion.
Regardless of how small an action is, any wrongdoing is considered a sin. Humans, with their ability to think rationally, bear greater responsibility for their actions compared to other creatures. Apologies, though meaningful, may not absolve one of their sins, especially in spiritual contexts like facing consequences in a place such as hell where forgiveness isn't granted. According to the concept of karma, each person will face the outcomes, whether positive or negative, of their actions.
A4A822, a celestial being, approached a mysterious door that appeared suddenly. In an instant, he found himself in a simple apartment, inhabiting the body of a young soul recently departed for reincarnation. Given a divine task, he must guide all trapped souls in the city of Anang to their rightful destination before a set time. The weight of this spiritual duty rests heavily on his shoulders as the clock ticks toward judgment.
The young boy named Zerin was a dedicated student at Anang's secondary school. In this world, technology wasn't as advanced as Earth's, but it wasn't lacking entirely either. A4A822 carefully copied Zerin's traits and daily routine with great attention to detail. Zerin had always wanted to attend Anang school, and the shift made him very happy. However, he never got the chance to step foot inside. This might seem disappointing, but in a way, it was fortunate because Anang school had a mysterious reputation for engulfing many students.
Getting ready for school that day, A4A822 prepared a hearty breakfast before heading out.
Clad in the innocence of youth, he wore a gentle smile as he confidently approached the bus stop. His demeanor exuded kindness and polished manners. The previous owner's life had been remarkably uncomplicated- centered around the basic rhythm of eating, sleeping, and attending school.
As Zerin boarded the bus and passed through the gates, many wandering souls appeared. Some hurried around, and a few even got on the bus. Their presence made the living uneasy, even though most people couldn't see them. However, everyone could feel the strange change in the air caused by their powerful presence.
Realizing the situation, A4A822 quickly began his task, guiding these souls towards the entrance to hell where they would face judgment. Hell exists beyond our world, encompassing everything—skies, land, air, and water. No soul escapes this cosmic balance because every human has the potential for both kindness and cruelty in their hearts.
Sometimes, deep regret or a full understanding of life can purify a soul, allowing it to be reincarnated directly. However, these cases are extremely rare—like one in a million. Genuine understanding like this is hardly ever achieved.
A4A822 decided that the task should begin at the school. Anang school has been a center of attention for many years due to several alarming incidents. The rate of student deaths at this school is surprisingly high, and this trend started about ten years ago. In the last five years, the seriousness of the situation has become more noticeable, especially among students who have recently transferred there.
As the bus stopped at the school gate, Zerin confidently stepped off and headed towards the school building located in the city center. Despite its damaged reputation, the school still had an impressive appearance, looking almost new and richly furnished. Zerin didn't think much about where the money came from, as it wasn't his concern. Upon arriving, he went straight to the principal's office to officially enroll, then made his way to his assigned classroom.
The principal's face lit up as if he had seen the sun for the first time in five years. A4A822 paused to listen to the principal's kind words that brought happiness even to someone like him at this school. The classroom was exceptionally clean, in stark contrast to conditions in many less privileged schools. The facilities were excellent, exceeding expectations.
When Zerin entered the classroom, silence fell over the fifty students, including the teacher, all eyes on him. The strange calm in the school was obvious, protected by strong magic barriers that kept it empty of any souls or presence. A4A822 could see through this, but he had to wait for the culprit to reveal themselves before he could take action. The unsolved mystery and unanswered questions from the past dead god's attempts led to the task being passed on to him.
Despite the transparent barrier through which he could see countless souls, Zerin calmly took his seat like any other student. Welcomed by the teacher, he introduced himself with a gentle smile, stating he had transferred from Actic secondary school and expressing gratitude for the scholarship that brought him here. "Please take care of me from now on," he humbly requested.
The students seemed friendly and welcoming, showing no signs of dissatisfaction or hostility towards him. During the break between two classes, he walked around the school, carefully observing every corner before returning. The day went smoothly, and he resolved everything within a single day. He's patiently waiting for a specific ghostly figure to appear, though he's not entirely sure it's a ghost. He won't jump to conclusions without solid proof. However, one thing is clear: whoever created the detailed seal in this spiritually weak place is not human.
The next day too everything was fine. Zerin had lunch with the school students. And went to the cafeteria. The surrounding grew silent the moment he was walking in front of the woman named Chlafero Jane. Everyone thought he is going towards this lady. But he turned away heading in a different direction. The girl is very beautiful and pure. Her hair is long black contrasting her flawless skin a beautiful look like an angel. She is the school belly. Various people used to pursue her but no one succeeded. It seems that she doesn't like people around her.
She appears calm but is not. Zerin noticed her unusual excitement. Her eyes wandered everyone one by one as if waiting for a target. She talk with a guy, invited him for something, and went away.
Zerin calmly watch everything and followed out after few minutes. He concealed his presence. They walked inside the empty room where no on comes and goes by. As the scene unfolds very interesting thing happened. Chlafero grabbed the boy's arms and hugged him. Closing her eyes and opening them again and again. She is trying to smell the blood running through the boy's nerves. Her appearance grew very hideous. Very terrifying to be a human being. The beauty disappeared.
The boy was a normal human and was enjoying the moment. After a while when Chlafero did nothing he saw the abnormalities and grabbed her waist to make some distance to see her face but before he could do anything Clafero dragged him toward the wall and started to eat hungrily from the neck. It happened extremely fast. So fast that even seeing the after image was difficult.
The shout of the boy never left his mouth before dying. But as if no one can hear, no one came to help him. The surrounding classroom students did not step out of the room. They were controlled the moment Chlafero came with a guy. In no time she sucked all blood and consume all flesh and bones. After a while, everything finished. Her school uniform was all drenched with blood however it was cleaned automatically. She calmly gazed at everything again and walked out of the room. Within no time the school belly disappeared from Zerin's sight.
The soul of the boy did not go away as it should be and the seven doors of hell also do not appear. The shapeless smoke stayed in the room. Screaming and punching the walls but he could not break the barrier. A moment later he started to sob continuously. Slowly other souls appeared beside him. Thousands of them were trapped in a single room.
Clhafero is a Ghost. Ghosts are believed to have been false, corrupted, compulsive, deceitful, jealous, or greedy people in a previous life. As a result of their Karma, they are afflicted with an insatiable hunger for a particular substance or object.
Zerin emotionlessly stared at everything happening in front of him and also went away. He walked to the opposite direction. He cannot interfere in this matter. The decision to follow that woman was done by that boy himself. The boy himself had wrong feelings towards the school belly. Even though towards a ghost, it's not right.
Moreover, Zerin has died and did not exist here. A4A822 is the only who exists in his place and he does not have the power to interfere with the natural process of karma. He will face devastating retribution by helping them. All he could do is to investigate this case and report. He left from there.
.......
In the evening when he was in the alley the surrounding grew extremely cold. In a blink, a young ghost came to face him. The appearance was hideous. Extremely to the point where anyone would die if saw this. But after a while, he changed into a beautiful young self.
The ghost appeared middle school student. Very cute and beautiful. Zerin calmly walk away as if he did not see the ghost. However, he never saw such a stubborn ghost till now. Never once. The ghost followed him everywhere. He would try to grab him, and when he went to the kitchen the ghost came after along with him, in the washroom he does not shy away but stayed with him, and even when sleeping the ghost slept at the side of him facing him.
Zerin as an agent is very professional to perfectionist his every move was very natural. As an agent of hell, he had seen various torture, stubborn souls, and the most hellish level. The naked beautiful and handsome souls screaming for help. Zerin is different from other beings in the world. He can see through all the souls and deception.
The ghost beside him is pure in his appearance and is just a child of twelve years old. He should have been healthy and well-mannered child. But the problem is the other lingering soul with him. They are unstable and crying.
The young boy uttered "You can see me? Don't you?"
"..."
The boy requested "Please led me to my mother. I have been like this for so long. I don't know how much time has passed."
"..."
"I'm so lonely. No one can see me, touch me, or talk to me."
"..."
Seeing him not replying the boy murmured "Oh God, how can you be so heartless to me?"
Suddenly he started to sob continuously "I want to see you, mom. Where are you now?"
Zerin was apathetic. A moment later the young soul flew in front of him laughing crazily. The young soul's appearance was just a deception. The ghost consisting of the soul of fifty people appeared. The more soul one consumes the more powerful the ghost will be. Most ghost consumes vicious people due to their greed, and jealous nature. But sometimes along with this pure soul also gets involved.
The ghost confidently tried to grab Zerin. With the strength of fifty souls, one can imagine how powerful the grab would be. But Zerin stayed indifferent in front of this dangerous situation. His body and soul unmoved and Zerin calmly opened his eyes.
The ghost in front of him can be considered the strong one. If this situation is faced by different agents they may get agitated but A4A822 is different. His report and work have always been A+.
He casually raised his hand and a long ancient type sword appeared. With the arrival of his sword, his real appearance emerged. With a single flash, he pushed the ghost trembling with fear. They were banged backwards and dispersed in fog form.
The ghost cried out after recognition "God of Death!! God of death!! Please show mercy! Mercy your highness!"
Along with ghosts the lamb soul also started to call him the God of death. A2A822 silently glanced toward the ghost and innocent soul. He calmly placed the sword in the air, floating coldly. His original appearance made the surrounding pin drop silent.
The red scarlet eye seems very deep like an endless blood abyss, with white porcelain skin, black hair fluttering due to the wind, and the black cloak covering him from top to bottom. This appearance is enough to kill anyone. Beauty curtails before terrifying aura.
A4A822 clearly declared with his extremely strong and deep voice. "All the soul present here should be punished according to the Blood Book. The ghost who killed and consume an innocent soul will face all nine levels of punishment and then perish. The other people who have not killed anyone shall confront nine levels of retribution before reincarnation. The death door reveal yourself."
Right after his word fell terrifying seven doors appeared. That was so horrible that people before stepping into it collapsed. They tried to flee but was sucked inside the door. The innocent one was very few they did not say anything because they could not see what is happening and the death door. The young boy was calm and he was the one in previous appearance of that ghost. He had been the one before sticking with A4A822. He grabbed A4A822's cloak before gently saying "You are very beautiful." It was very awkward comment for a Death God.
A4A822 neither felt shy nor angry but confused. His puzzled look was exceptional. The little kid saw this and laughed before saying "My name is Frener Clane. Nice to meet you."
Where is the nice after meeting him? What awaits is only misery. But why this young soul did not appear terrified? Do his red eyes not affect children? The puzzlement grew even more. Whenever he presented himself, other souls would faint right away due to his eyes and cold black aura.
The child is way too innocent. He seems never to have seen the differences between dangerous and safe people before. A4A822 stayed rooted without responding. He always felt talking is not necessary if you can take action. Verbal attitudes are almost falsehoods only actions matter. He pushed the boy towards the reincarnation door. The boy and other innocent souls disappear. He looked around his lonely apartment before settling down with the appearance of Zerin. As if nothing happened before his mind was calm and he slept.
The next day Chlafero chatted happily with her friends. The woman is so beautiful that she can cause the mountain to topple. Today is different and excitable day for everyone. Chlafero calmly walked towards A4A822. Her approach was applauded by the surrounding students. A4A822 stared with an amiable expression. His movements were very light yesterday so Chlafero did not notice him. However, when she found him today his pure ethereal aura shocked her very much. His soul could be equalled to hundreds of other souls. She cannot wait to eat him. Thinking too much but her outer appearance didn't leak anything.
Chlafero came face to face before saying "Hii, Zerin. How are you?"
Zerin smiled and act like an ordinary man "I'm fine. Do you need anything?" Acting is one of the best thing he could do.
"Oh! Actually, I like you, can we go out to play."
Zerin shook his head and said earnestly "I can't accompany you. I have my homework to do. The midterm exam is coming. I have to study." He ignored her 'I like you.'
A4A822 always felt disgusted when people approach him like this. In his every mission, he had faced countless times when he need to be loved or love others. But he cannot even imagine himself with these people. His sense of romance is zero. Saying zero is also exaggerated it would be a minus number.
Moreover, the investigation is still halfway. He has to visit the inner part of the school. As he ignored Chlafero and was still into his own thought. The beautiful girl walked away flushing and crying. He didn't heard her cry and walking away steps. This is the power he have. To filter out the unnecessary conversation.
The school belly cried for an ordinary guy. How could this be ignored by her admirers? Right after knowing this, admirers gossiped about Zerin as if he is a terrorist, who killed their wife.
Students pointed at him and whispered. Whispered is not the complete sentence. It is like whispering in his ears. "How dare a nobody like him rejects our queen. Do he know his place? Passed from a lowly school. He dare to stay in this school."
"Apologize to Chlafero. You heartless man. Don't you know how to be gentle? Our queen is so kind to like you and what you have done."
"Are you so proud of your that cheap look? Your looks do not amount anything to our queen. You are so arrogant."
"At first I thought he is a nice guy. Never expected him to be a bastard. Nowadays we could not believe anyone."
"Senior brother Breath is more beautiful and handsome than him. I have always shipped them together. Don't know where this guy came from."
"Senior brother Gream also likes Our queen. He even proposed to her. But our queen rejected due to this brat."
"How could that be? Zerin did not cherish Chlafero. The walking sexy model, like the top famous models."
However, A4A822 didn't act as they expected. He appeared no heard their words and very calm. He has no desire to say that your goddess is a human eating ghost, like other would like to say to satisfy ones heart. Past students who have faced such criticism are all dead due to depression. He appeared very calm and collected. Due to his opposite attitude, people started to feel offended.
A4A822 heard girls whispering behind his back. He just glanced and nothing. After the classes when he walked out of the school several boys started to walk toward him. They were carrying a thick long wooden stick.
Zerin froze in the same place. He looked at the strong wooden stick and the person who is wielding that stick like a sword. He felt refreshed seeing some actions after strong verbal storms.
If they want to fight then it is good. His subjective strength is not needed because this body owner has worked as a farmer. No person can beat a person who is doing agricultural work from small. 'A farmer is a fighter.' For the first time he felt very pleased with the body he got.
Seeing him not running some felt nervous and some excited. However, this nervousness did not last long. Now they have stepped into this it would be very shameful to run away from battling a single person. Also, students are watching them. All of the boys are masculine. Those who are vicious but not masculine are standing at the side holding sticks. Offering to beat him. It is apparent that this is for him.
A4A822 snorted coldly after seeing the time and rushed towards the bully without waiting for their actions. The deadline is nearing. He has no time to deal with these people. His speed shocked people and the punch land amazingly well on the cheeks perfectly forcing three and four tooth out. It was amazing. As expected to the hand of a farmer. These rich students will not be able to affect him. Within no time he finished beating everyone and walked away from the crowd.
While walking he combed his hair drenched with sweat with his hand. His glistening white skin and black hair shine sexily under the sunshine effect. His steps were not tough due to exhaustion but it was firm. Looking his back some commented with positive remarks. And this positive remarks are from those who are oblivion about the fight. Those who knew everything angrily went away.
