LOST IDENTITY 18:TIME HAS COME

The following night

Stranger

"It's time.. Let's go."

Stranger

"Akuma Sama will be impressed."

Akuma sama" in English translates to "Demon lord" or "Devil lord," as "akuma" means "devil" or "demon" in Japanese, and "sama" is a polite title used to show respect, similar to "sir" or "lord.".

Everyone reached the hotel and were tired. Hart went back to Lian's room and took the shower

Hart William

Comes out of the bathroom "Huh? What's wrong? Asks while looking at Lian

Lian St. clain

Sitting on the bed "Nothing." "Lay down and sleep. I'll back."

Hart William

"Why? Where are you going?" Says normal while drying his hair

Lian St. clain

"……" "The 3 of us have to prepare for tomorrow… So I need to go.. You should sleep.." "And don't wait for me."

Hart William

"Ah." "So it's like that… I see… I'll take the whole bed then."

Hart William

Hart's eyes locked onto Mr. Lian's Gulps "Umm…Well… I'll be waiting. So try to hurry."

And Lian left

On the other hand

Ethan's heart skipped a beat, then another, as he lay frozen in bed, his ears straining to decipher the faint scratching at the door.

Ethan Lee

The soft knock sent a chill coursing through his veins, and his voice trembled as he called out "W-who is it?"

Silence.

Ethan Lee

Ethan's eyes bulged as he scrambled to sit up, his back pressed against the headboard, his heart racing like a jackrabbit.

There was no response. Instead, the door creaked open, and two shadowy figures slipped inside.

Stranger

"It's time, Ethan. Time for the first sacrifice." Says without anything hesitation

Stranger

The figure's voice sent chills down Ethan's spine "It's time, Ethan.... The darkness has been waiting, and your first sacrifice is waiting..."

Stranger

Ethan Lee

In a deep thinking.. Nervous showing clearly Ethan's heart started to beat abnormally fast

Ethan realized that the time has come, and it would be a waste to go against it. Although, he can't remember what he wished for, but he knows that it must have been something really important.

Ethan Lee

Looks down "What… Do…. I have to.. Do?" A hint of anxiety could be seen in his voice

Stranger

"here hold my hands…" Smirks

As the shadowy figures pulled Ethan through the vortex, he caught a glimpse of their faces, and his blood ran cold.

It was Mr. Lian and Lily, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly energy. Ethan's mind reeled in shock as he realized that his trusted people were behind his abduction.

Lian St. clain

Lian's face twisted into a sinister grin as he whispered "You're coming with us, Ethan. The Spirit World awaits."
