My parents, my little sister and I are a happy family living in the forest. Even though we live in the forest, we are having a little trouble with food. Because mother said that our food supply is running low. Until finally my sister and I decided to take a walk around the house to forget the hunger we are feeling right now. While walking for a walk, we suddenly found a group of adults who were gathered and eating a lot of meat while warming themselves using the bonfire that had been set up.

Finally, my sister and I ran back to the house to tell our parents in the hope that our parents could get some food. The expressions on our parents' faces changed from gloomy to enthusiastic. Our parents were getting ready to leave while my sister and I were ordered to guard the house. About an hour passed we waited patiently, finally our parents came home with a large supply of food. Our family was very happy and relieved that we didn't have to think about the food supply for some time. All of this thanks to the generosity of those adults.

Mom decided to make meat soup for dinner. However, my little sister did not agree with the menu that mom wanted to make. She looks annoyed because mom did not agree to make her favorite menu. Mom just smiled and ordered my sister and I to help her. My sister and I were in charge of making soup, mother cut the meat into pieces, and father kept a good supply of food in the basement of our house. Finally, our family can have dinner with satisfaction and we can close the day with a smile.

The next day, our parents get ready to set off in the morning into the forest to look for wood stocks. My sister approached my mother and said that her stomach was trembling. Then mother smiled and said "After we finish looking for wood, mom will cook a lot of food for you". Then my sister smiled and nodded. Dad always told us one thing before leaving us at home. Dad said, "If anyone comes to see the basement of our house, take care of them quickly and don't let them go to the basement. Because they are bad people who want to take our food supplies". After that, my father smiled and kissed us as a farewell.

When I was relaxing in my room, my sister suddenly ran to my room with a panicked face while telling me that someone was carrying a gun towards our house. Then I immediately looked at my bedroom window to make sure that my sister was not kidding. It turned out that what my sister said was not a joke. The man in the uniform was carrying a gun and was walking toward our house. Then I ordered my sister to take a knife as a weapon to protect myself, while I continued to watch the man through the window. Then I took the knife and I hid it in my pants. After that, I ordered my sister to hide in the wardrobe in my room. I, as a brother, will take care of this matter.

Not long after, the man knocked on the door of the house, and I opened the door with a calm and smile so that the man wouldn't know my true feelings. The man looked friendly and asked where my parents were. I tell that my parents are cooking in the kitchen so that the man would not dare to mess around and come into our house. The man seems to smell my lie. He smiled and asked permission to enter our house. I insisted on rejecting the man's request. Finally the man looked annoyed and forced his way into our house. It seems that my small body is inferior to his body.

The man entered my house and found the basement door of our house. And suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the basement. The man asked me "Hey little boy, what happened in the basement of your house?". I was just silent because I didn't want the man to take away our food stock. The man looked annoyed and decided to immediately open the basement door.

When he grabbed the basement door handle, I immediately stabbed my knife into the man's leg. He screamed in pain and fell. Then the man took out his gun in anger while saying "I'm going to shoot you damn little boy!". I immediately shouted "Hey Lily! Aren't you hungry? Come here quickly, it's time for breakfast!". The man was silent and confused. My sister immediately came out of the wardrobe and ran madly towards the man. My sister bit the guy's neck and I stabbed the knife several times into the man's stomach until he was done.

My sister was very happy to eat those guy’s raw brain. It’s her favorite menu. I was relieved because the bad guy who wanted to take our food had failed to carry out his action. I am sure our parents will be very proud to see our courage.

...\~THE END\~...

I have a best friend. His name is Rick. we have been best friends since we were 6 years old. Which means we've been together for 10 years.

Our friendship started when Rick and his family moved to a housing near my house. When he first moved in, Rick used to play alone by the lake near our house. Because in our residential area there are only a few small children. And also because he is the only child in his family. I also happen to have no friends to play with. so I decided to go up to Rick with the hope that we could become friends and play together. It looks like my attempt to befriend Rick was a huge success. The two of us played together a lot and got closer and closer.

Every time we come home from school and on holidays we spend playing together. Usually we just play by the lake. But one day, we felt bored. Finally, Rick decided to invite me to play together at his house. I felt very happy and agreed immediately. The two of us hurried to Rick's house. When we got to Rick’s house, Rick immediately pressed the doorbell and Rick's mother opened the door. Rick with his sweet smile introduced me to his mother and immediately asked his mother's permission so that we could play together at his house. But somehow, it seemed like Rick's mother didn't like me. She refuses Rick's request gently, and orders Rick to send me home. Rick apologized to me and asked me to just go home. But I didn't mind her request. Maybe she didn't want her house to be entered into by strangers and messed up. At least he asked gently. I don't feel offended.

Then the next day an idea popped into my brain. If we can't play at Rick's house, why don't we just play at mine? Rick was so amazed by my bright idea and immediately rushed to his house to ask his mother's permission. I was waiting for Rick's good news by the lake. After 15 minutes, I saw Rick walking toward me with a sad face. When Rick arrived in front of me, he sat beside me and said things that surprised me. Rick said that his mother was very angry with him. He didn't allow Rick to play at my house, and even told Rick not to be friends with me anymore. Rick's mother said I had a bad impact on Rick. Because he became friends with me, Rick became unwilling to socialize with friends at school and had no friends besides me. At least that's what she told him. I was offended. I don't feel like I've ruined Rick's life. I didn't do anything bad at all or even harm Rick. I think Rick's mom just doesn't want Rick to be friends with me.

Rick apologized for what his mother said to me. It turned out that Rick had the same opinion as me. He didn't feel wronged by me. Because all we did was play together, and didn't do a single bad thing. Eventually we were still good friends, and made friends secretly.

Our friendship continues to junior high school. There, he has no friends either. In fact, he gets bullied a lot by other students. At least, Rick still has me as his best friend. One day after school, Rick looks annoyed with several bruises on his body and hands. I wonder what happened to him. Arriving at our usual place to meet, I took the courage to ask Rick. He said that students at his school were bullying him behind the school. Rick said, while in class, one of the popular kids in his class named Robert approached him and said "Hey, you're Rick right? Why are you always alone? After school, go to the back of the school. There I will introduce you to my friends, and we'll have fun ".

Rick was very happy and immediately rushed to the back of the school after finishing school. But it seems that Rick's expectations are very different from his reality. It turned out that Robert and his 5 friends had prepared a bad thing for Rick. Robert said "Hey weird kid! You really came huh? You've eaten the bait I gave you, idiot! Do you think that a famous kid like me would want to be friends with a weirdo like you? You idiot! Guys! Surround him and Beat him up! We'll have fun here ".

Rick came home feeling annoyed while carrying a number of bruises on him. Returning home, Rick complained to his mother in the hope that those kids could pay for what they had done to him. But a shocking answer escaped her mouth. She said that Robert's father was the boss of Rick's father. Automatically, Rick's family couldn't mess with the Roberts if they still wanted to live comfortably. Rick was very surprised to hear what his mother said. His anger was running high, but he was helpless.

Finally, I decided to help my bestie. I was up to something without Rick knowing. I'm looking for information about this kid named Robert. And it turns out, his house is not far from our house. I launched my action at night. I sneaked into Robert's house and immediately looked for his room. I’m very grateful, because no one is aware of my existence. Arriving at Robert's room, I woke Robert, and immediately spoke to him privately. The funny thing is, he looked really scared when he saw me. Eventually, my plan really worked out and I couldn't wait to see Rick's reaction. The next day, news appeared on TV saying that a son of a successful businessman had hanged himself last night. And that kid named Robert.

The news became popular at Rick's school, and a lot of people talked about it. Rick also felt confused because only yesterday he was beaten by Robert and his gang. After school, we met and Rick asked if I had seen the news about Robert on TV. With pleasure, I say that it was me, who made Robert kill himself. I threatened Robert and depressed him. So that suicide will cross his mind. I told Rick how excited I was when I saw the news on TV. Because my plan to avenge my best friend was a huge success. Rick was very surprised after hearing what I said. But luckily, he didn't feel angry about what I had done. He is actually very proud to have a very supportive friend like me. Rick told me that he couldn't wait to tell his parents about this. I'm also happy about that. With this, Rick's parents will trust me, and we can be friends again without sneaking.

Rick immediately rushed home to tell his parents about the positive things that had been done by me. After Rick explained in detail, Rick's parents were very surprised and very angry. However, Rick also explained that the thing I did was all to get his revenge. Angry, Rick's dad said something that really disappointed me. He said "YOU WANT TO KNOW THINGS ABOUT YOUR PAL? HE IS A CHILD THAT DIED 30 YEARS AGO! HE'S DROWNED IN THE LAKE WHERE YOU ALWAYS PLAY! THAT'S WHY WE ALWAYS TELL YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM!". Rick was very surprised to hear what his father said. He still insisted that I was his best friend.

He ran to the shore of the lake to meet me. He immediately asked if what his father said was true. And I just nodded sadly. Rick was startled and was silent for a few moments. Then he smiled and said "I don't care whether you are human or not. You are still my best friend. I will be friends with you forever". I was very surprised by what Rick said, and very proud to have a friend like him. In the end, I offered Rick a solution so we could be friends forever. Rick agreed to my suggestion. The next day, Rick's body is found floating in the lake. I'm glad we can be friends forever.

...\~THE END\~...

My name is Greg, and i’m 17 years old. I’m in high school now. As you know yourself, high school is the hardest. You have to be a popular student to be free from bullies at school. As for me, I'm just a nerdy freak with only 4 friends. And they're all boys, Haha. I lived high school life very hard. Since I don't have any talent and my family is not a rich family, then how can I become popular? impossible. I just gave up receiving bullying every day with "my friends".

But one day, this girl named Mary came over to me during the break time. Mary was a "former freak" and now she became the idol of the boys in our school. Somehow, within a day, her appearance changed 180 degrees. But for plastic surgery, it seems impossible. Because Mary's family is a simple family, and not that rich. it is impossible to waste their money just for plastic surgery costs. And that is the reason she came to me. She will tell the secret behind her success.

With her beautiful face, she approached me and said “Hey, You're greg, right? Aren't you tired of being bullied by kids at school?”. Then I replied "What kind of human wants to suffer? What are you here for? Please don't talk to me. I'm a freak, and you're a star. If you talk to me, then I'll get in trouble". Then she smiled and said that the secret to her success was working with the devil. I was very surprised at that time. I had no idea that a human would do such a bold thing just to gain fame. Cooperating with the devil is absolutely pointless, right? Because in return, you have to give sacrifice every time, or become his slave in hell later.

Mary shared that she was tired of being teased by the kids at school. Moreover, her family's economic condition is mediocre. So this is the only path that can be chosen to escape from that sad life. Mary said that she just wanted to help the freaks at school get out of their bad status at school. Meanwhile, I was still surprised by what she said. Mary said "Let me give you my phone number. The rest, it's up to you. Only you can change your destiny. If you change your mind, just call me." Then the bell rang and Mary left me.

After school, my four friends and I gathered in the field near the school as usual. We discussed about Mary. As it turned out, my other friends were also approached by Mary. The four of them felt that cooperating with the devil was strictly prohibited. They were better off being freaks forever, rather than having to sell someone else's soul or their soul to the devil. Meanwhile, I was silent and did not participate in the discussion with them. I feel attracted to Mary's offer. I was very tired of being ridiculed by the kids at school. I wanted to experience what it was like to be a star who was respected by everyone, and liked by many girls. Finally, after gathering, we went straight to our homes. I immediately dialed Mary's number when I got home and said that I was interested in her offer.

Mary said that tonight is the night of her usual meeting. This meeting is held every 3 weeks. That's why Mary turned to us, freaks, to join her today. Mary said that she would introduce me to "The Almighty Devil". We agreed to meet at Mary's house. Then we will go to the gathering place together. 9 pm arrived, and I immediately went to Mary's house. Arriving there, it turned out that Mary was waiting in front of the porch of her house wearing all black clothes. Then Mary gave us a demon mask to wear when we got to the meeting place.

It turned out that the meeting place was in the area around the forest near Mary's house. After walking about 500 meters into the forest, we finally found a human head that had been hanging from a large tree. I was quite surprised and tried to calm down. Mary said that the head was a sign that we would arrive at the meeting place in a moment. Finally, we arrived at the meeting place. It was surprising how many people had gathered. They all wear demon masks to cover their identities, just like us. They all surrounded a bonfire containing a human being burned. I was very scared at that time. However, Mary tried to calm me down. On the belly of the poor man was a pentagram symbol that had been engraved with a knife. Honestly, I really feel like throwing up. However, Mary has helped me get here. I don't want to be a burden to her.

Finally, the demon summoning ceremony began with a strange song chanted by the members. The chant was sung blindfolded. After the chant finished, a demon with the head of a goat and this human body suddenly appeared hovering above the bonfire. Its form is quite large and terrible. Then the devil ate this human who was being burned. Then he drank the blood until it runs out. After finishing, he suddenly said "Thank you for the banquet, O my slaves. You already know the rules, right? To ask for a request, you have to sell your soul to me, and give me a sacrifice in the form of a living human. So, who want to start first? ".

Suddenly Mary raised her hand. The devil said "Wow, you are a woman who is quite greedy right? Do you have a sacrifice for this request? Didn't you sacrifice all your family members?". Instantly I was very shocked and my whole body trembled. Is it true that Mary sacrificed her entire family to the devil just for money and fame? So, why did she invite me here? I did not bring a sacrifice to offer. And apparently, that is the last day I live in this world.
