The Church - Else World

Within the realm of shadows and sorrow, an amalgamation of dark fantasy elements takes form in the world of Vesperia. Hauntingly grand churches, reminiscent of ancient edifices seen in tales of old, dominate the desolate landscapes. These imposing churches stand as enigmatic fortresses, their towering spires reaching towards the brooding skies. Carved grotesques and eerie sculptures adorn their weathered stone facades, their presence evoking a sense of macabre beauty and ancient mysteries. Deep within the sacred halls of these churches, devout priests and priestesses practice their faith, guided by an enigmatic belief akin to Pascal's Wager. They preach of unseen forces that shape the destinies of mortals, invoking both hope and trepidation in the hearts of their followers. These holy men and women are not mere conduits of faith; they are wielders of supernatural powers. Drawing upon the essence of esoteric energies, they perform miracles that heal the afflicted, offer protection to the faithful, or unleash righteous fury upon adversaries. Yet, hidden within their ranks are those who delve into forbidden knowledge, delving into the darkness to tap into eldritch forces and perform sinister rituals. Within the depths of these churches, relics from forgotten eras lie concealed. These artifacts hold echoes of forgotten heroes and cataclysmic events, whispered legends of power and despair. Brave warriors, known as Chosen Blades, clad in armor reminiscent of legendary knights and mysterious hunters, embark on perilous quests to retrieve these relics, hoping to shape their destinies or protect the world from their malevolent influence. However, not all that dwells within these churches is righteous. Hidden cults and covens lurk in the shadows, their twisted devotion leading them to worship ancient, malevolent entities. They manipulate the concept akin to Pascal's Wager, exploiting the fears and desires of the vulnerable for their nefarious purposes. Unholy abominations and creatures born of twisted sorcery roam the land, a product of the profane rituals conducted within these sacred walls. These monstrous beings, born from the fusion of corrupted souls and arcane energies, lurk in the depths, eager to prey upon the unsuspecting or challenge those who dare to uncover their dark secrets. In Vesperia, the interplay between faith and darkness unfolds within the haunting churches, as souls and forbidden rituals intertwine. Mortals must navigate treacherous paths, torn between the glimmer of hope and the seductive allure of forbidden knowledge. The destiny of their world teeters on a knife's edge as they confront the enigmas that lie hidden within these sacred and sinister sanctuaries.

Chapter 4 : Corpse

"Has anyone else noticed its offlay quiet?'' Daniel said then suddenly something rammed into the door like a buttering ram it hit the door about three times till eventually it opened everyone was terrified Daniel said '' it's you, you are the freak from my dream'' with no response he grabbed his chainsaw and turned it on his chainsaw dripping blood and his slow sadistic walk Daniel and holly were petrified, max picked up a cross shaped sword and tried to decapitate it but his sword just couldn't cut the skin of its neck, it grabbed max by the neck and slowly buried its chainsaw in his mid-section blood splattered everywhere and his screams were so loud that they over shadowed the sound of the chainsaw, Daniel picked a knife and started to run towards them shouting '' uncle max no!!'' but right before it finished him off someone shot it from behind straight in the head, Daniel and holly immediately rushed to pick up max and moved him, Daniel asked the shooter '' who are you?'' he answered ''who me? I am Damian cross''. ''okay Damian what is that thing?'' Daniel asked. '' we call it the butcher, although I expected it to be much stronger it is a class S rated Verdemon.

Then just a few moments after Damian replied to Daniel, the butcher had gotten up like nothing happen and started to walk towards them Damian started to shot but randomly at it this time nothing worked and then he shouted '' Father Michael, I could use some help here''. Then with a calm and authoritative voice father Michael said as he walked in and shot his first 2 bullets '' for the father, the son''. And as he shot his third ''and the Holy Spirit''. The first two bullets hit the butchers knees and brought him down the third went straight through his head. The with pin point precision he shot three more bullets two went through the back of the butchers head and came out through his eyes and the third pierced his heart. Daniel had gone back to max and in his dying words and with tears in his eyes he said '' you are going to be safe now little Danny the Christians are here now, I'm sorry I wasn't there to watch you grow up into the fine man you are. You should know I always loved you even in my absence, promise me you'll live through all this and live a happy life''.

Then max passed on Daniel started to shed tears for his uncle remembering the vision he had before all this had happened he started to blame himself for not heeding the warning he received. But then father Michael said '' blame not yourself for the evil in this world, your uncle was a good man and a good A class priest follow well in his footsteps and you shall be as good as he was. Pick up his sword and use it in his name''. Daniel replied'' but it didn't work the last time''. ''your uncle was retired for over 12 and a half years, he was rusty and forgot to cover his blade in holy water''. Daniel picked the sword up and agreed to carry it, father Michael told both Daniel and holly to take their shirts off and turn around, they did so and he poured holy water over their tattoos and they immediately vanished. Daniel had not wanted to leave until he buries his uncle but father Michael had disagreed because the butcher had already started to regenerate and after regeneration former attack won't work on him, and so they had to leave as soon as possible. As they set off into a secrete passage Daniel had asked Damian ''back there you said its class S what did you mean''.

'' verdemon's and Demons are put into classes so that we know which priests can handle The tasks, verdemon's are sometimes significantly harder to kill than demons, a verdemon is a mutation of a living being or a dead corpse and a high class demon what makes them hard to kill is mostly holy water, crosses and prayers are usually ineffective against them, unlike like demons which can easily be beat using such means , S class verdemon's like the butcher are for high level priests like father Michael to deal with because they're so hard to kill, look at the butcher father Michael had to precisely shoot him to bring him down for a moment". Damian said

"Okay why not just completely kill him then?" Daniel asked. "It's seems you aren't getting it we don't know how to kill him yet his more or less immortal as things stand now." Damian answered.
