gantz:the devil within

"it was not supposed to be like this. "

looking at the destroyed city in front him a 16 years old boy with black hair and black eyes mumbled.

with his remaining left hand he tried to stand up from the pile of rocks he was leaning on only to fall face forward.

"ugh..what can i do now with one hand and a broken leg"he looked like he was out of an horror movie with blood covering almost the entirity of his black suit.

"i really want revenge but i guess this is the end "he said while looking at the giant hand filled with electricity pointing at him like a gun would.

"boom" his body exploded with the sound of thunder.

...

..

.

"h_hey where is this? "

"is this a prank or what? "

"i can't open it it's closed"

"d_did we get kidnapped?! "

listening to the shaky sound of panicked people he opened his eyes ,what met them left him slack-jawed,he was in a large room filled with different kind of people with a weird black ball standing in the middle.

"i-im back ,but how is that possible?"the black haired boy said loudly

looking left and right he couldn't believe himself, to be able to live again after earth was destroyed to fight again and take revenge was his dream, clinching his fists he started to take notice of the people around the room there were 7 people in total.

"hey everyone let's calm down first, panic will get us nowhere"a tough looking middle aged man with silver hair spoke.

'earth has certainly been destroyed but what is this?'

while looking at the man the boy listened silently.

"yeah he's right let's not assume things and think logically what's happening here "a beautiful woman with golden hair said

'i'm not hallucinating these are real humans but how is that possible where the hell am i? ' the boy pondered with a confused look in his eyes

"what the fuck are you talking about we're obviously all dead , i remember all that happened i was...i was murdered." with a look of horror in his eyes said a man that looked in his twenties,he was holding a bike helmet in his hands and looked like a gangster

"nooo you're lying nothing happened to me."said a red haired girl with face full of fear before falling to her knees,seeing this the beautiful woman hugged her with a sad look on her face

"sigh ,so it's true you guys too had..."the silver haired guy sighed

'from the reaction of these three they surely have died,and to live after death is certainly the work of gantz' thought the boy white looking at the large black ball.

gantz is an alien invention that has supernatural abilities,it has the power to construct a human body, for example after the person dies even if his body gets sliced into pieces he will be summoned into the room with not even a scratch,however to live again you must lose your freedom

all those who were in the room were shocked they remember their deaths but the majority can't just accept the realtiy that easily

taking a deep breath the silver haired man staired at all the people in the room and asked in clear voice

"should we introduce ourselves?"

" sigh i'll go first, my name is Jessica i worked as a teacher the last thing i remember is driving my car when a second one hit us from the side i t_think we died,by we i mean me and nora my cousin."the beautiful woman said before pointing at the crying red haired girl she was hugging.

'this is weird, they don't sound like they experienced the alien invasion.'

humans have certaily survived many catastrophes through the years but the alien invasion was in another level.

it was so apocalypse like that it was impossible to forget ,billions of people have died after the catastrophe , everyone has lost someone close be it their friends their family or their lovers .

'if i complete the gantz mission i'll be able to leave this room and when that time comes i'll figure out where i am and what's happening.'thought the boy while standing on the back not trying to interact with the others

"i'm Louis i died in a car accident too."the silver haired man took a step and introduced himself before looking at the gangster looking man

"what the fuck are you looking at,you can play classroom all you want im not participating in this shit."holding the bike helmet wit his right hand he looked like he's gonna hit someone with it

"i'm kevin and those two are my sister's kids we..we died too."a man in his forties said pointing at two teenagers a boy and a girl.

seeing the two been silent all this time he couldn't help but think how they usually were so annoying and talkative .

'i gess anyone will be afraid in a situation like this but how is that kid keeping his calm.'keven tought while looking at the black haired teenager in the back

not just him everyone turned around looking at him waiting for him to speak.

"no need to be afraid kid we'll support each other."seeing him remain silent louis approached the boy before patting him on the shoulders

"can you tell us your name? "after comforting nora jessica said

'i'll need help after the mission is completed so iguess i have to at least tell this much.'

"kurono.""

"what? "not catching what he said louis asked

"kurono is my name. "
