The sky is cloudy, dark grey and Humid, Lightning strikes can be seen everywhere you look with the occasional bang of thunder being heard. The scent of blood and decay fills the air, in the distance, you can hear swords clashing and the occasional groans of pain and exhaustion. In the distance, you can see a lone knight fighting a large and terrifying abomination. The abomination appears to be made of bones haphazardly put together. Not a skeleton, but the bones of several different people and even animals fused together to form one giant skeleton. Tens of even Hundreds of Femur bones seemingly tied together to form 1 giant femur. Several different ribcages from humans and multiple larger animals fused together to make 1 larger ribcage as well as random other bones reinforcing this new ribcage. As Grotesque as the giant skeleton itself is, it's weapon is even worse. It is wielding a large club that has the corpses of previous victims fused into it. What's worst is that the corpses fused into the club are seemingly still alive and wielding melee weapons themselves and each time the large skeleton swings the club at the lone knight, the corpses on the club will start using their old and rusty weapons to attack the knight as well.
The knight can barely withstand the impact from each swing while the giant skeleton seems to be doing just fine. What's worst is that there is more than 1 Giant Skeleton. Some of the giant skeletons have shields, others have armor, some just have the giant club, some have a club, shield, and armor, regardless of how much the giant skeleton has, all of them share a theme of their equipment having living corpses fused into them. Currently it is just the 1 giant skeleton fighting a lone knight, the knight doesn't have any comrades anywhere, not even dead ones, one might assume this knight came alone, but looking at the Giant Skeletons, you can make a guess on what happened to any of his comrades.
After trading swings with the giant skeleton, the Lone knights legs finally give out and the next hit sends him flying tens of meters away. His sword falls out of his hand as he struggles to get up, clearly suffering a few broken ribs. As all hope left his eyes, he looks off into the distance and sees a hooded figure in robes, the lone knight looks happy, not questioning who this hooded figure is, just seeing that it's not a giant skeleton and gleefully assuming the hooded figure is here to save him. Not only is he assuming that the hooded figure is friend, he doesn't even notice all the other giant skeletons that were previously watching the fight are now on 1 knee, bowing down to the hooded figure. The giant skeleton that was fighting the lone knight is the only one not bowing, currently approaching the injured knight, he doesn't even seem concerned that the giant skeleton is now approaching him, he is absolutely confident this hooded figure is friend and not foe. As the giant skeleton gets closer, the knight gets a little nervous, wondering what's taking the hooded figure so long to defeat this giant skeleton. He gets more and more nervous as the skeleton gets closer and closer and the hooded figure continues to do nothing but watch.
Lone Knight: H-...Hey, uh... This Monster is a threat, you know...
The lone knight says loudly in the direction of the hooded figure while pointing at the giant skeleton that continues to approach.
The Hooded figure doesn't respond, but instead slowly lifts his hands, which makes the lone knight sigh in relief, thinking the hooded figure will cast some magic to obliterate the giant skeleton. But instead, the hooded figure slowly lowers his hood, hevealing that he himself is a corpse as well. Not quite a skeleton, but definitely a walking corpse with no eyes in its sockets and light brown loose skin. Two faint red lights slowly start to glow in the corpses eye sockets as he looks at the terrified lone knight. The giant skeleton finally reaches the lone knight, who is now trying to crawl away. The giant skeleton grabs the lone knight and holds him against his club, the lone knight is screaming in terror and now screaming in pain as his lower body starts to fuse into the club, becoming one with the club, just like all the other corpses. The giant skeleton joins the other giant skeletons and drops to 1 knee, bowing to the figure...

On a snowy hilltop, underneath a single snow covered tree stands a group of 5 people, 4 men and a woman looking off in the near distance at two more people, standing as if they are about to have a duel. One person is an androgynous woman with an intense stare, staring at the person a few meters in front of her, the person she's staring intensely at is a large and muscular man with a derpy look on his face and a comically small sword, you'd assume the swords normal purpose is next to a dinner plate, but this guy was using it in a duel.
Phoenix: The offer still stands. If you want your freedom, defeat me for it.
Nuts: ...
The Muscular man has a determined look on his derpy face, as if he's determined to accomplish his goal. After a few moments of silence, a snow covered branch gives up and a pile of snow starts tumbling to the ground.
BANG!
...
...
...
A young and disheveled man with dead eyes is in a large and white empty space. There are no walls or ceiling visible at any distance, yet it feels like he is in a room. He looks around and is confused, one moment,he was eating cheap Gas Station Ramen Noodles while watching peak fiction Berk, the next moment, his food and laptop are gone and he's in a strange white room, with no idea what happened.
Man: Ah?...
He says in a quiet voice while raising a finger up, as if to object something, but stopping halfway.
Unseen Voice: Hello!...
The man heard a friendly and feminine voice coming from a place he can't pinpoint, like it's coming from all directions, after a few moments of trying to find the voice, a beautiful woman appears out of thin air in front of him when he was looking in a different direction. The Man is Jumpscared when he turns forward and suddenly spots her in front of him.
Man: You know, it's Rude to appear out of nowhere and scare people. Creepy, even.
The Woman is tall with light blonde hair reaching her shoulderblades, she's wearing a white dress that flows down to her feet. The dress has a Slit that goes down in-between her breasts, revealing skin there as well and exposing her entire back down to just above her hips. The dress is also really tight-fitting, only getting really loose below her knees. This woman has her eyes closed and is giving a friendly, closed-mouth smile to the man.
After looking at the woman for less than a second, the man has an annoyed look on his face and turns his back to her.
Man: Did I really trade my cheap Gas Station food and peak fiction for boobs?... Not a good trade!
The woman is no longer smiling and slowly moves her hands to cover her chest while wearing an annoyed Expression.
Woman: Speaking of "Rude"... It's quite rude to make comments on a womans body. Especially a woman you don't know.
Man: It's also rude to drag a man away from his food and peak fiction out of nowhere... How did you even do that, anyways? Drag me hear from my apartment without me noticicing...
After hearing this question, the woman now has a Somber look on her face, which the man doesn't notice as his back is still turned to her... Well, was still turned to her, as the next time he blinked, she was now directly in front of him, leaning forward with her while still standing up so she is eye level with him. If her dress wasn't so tight, he's be able to see down her dress from this angle, but the man doesn't seem interested at all. He seems more interested in how someone who was behind him was able to appear out of thin air in front of him, quickly looking over his shoulder to see if she was still over there, only to see that she's not.
Man: So, Twins, huh?... I can't help but wonder which of my friends managed to get two two twin women to play along with this prank... Was it Eric? Or Takahito?... Oh! It was Joel! He's the only one I can think of who I'm friends with that can speak to women... But that's weird, he likes older women and you look no older than me.
The woman, still leaning forward and eye level with him, now has a big smile on her face.
Woman: Hehe... You complimented me, that's how You're supposed to speak to women!
Man: No, it's not, but ok ...
The Somber look returned to her face as she returns to what she was about to say.
Woman: Right... You died. That's why you're here. Your friends are not playing a prank on you, you managed to appear inthis area because you died and your soul was sent here...
...
...
...
...
Man: And you expect me to believe that?
The man finally said after a moment of silence.
Woman: you are welcome to not believe me, I am simply telling you what happened.
Man: *sigh* Ok, I'll play along. Oh, Miss Angel! Please! Informed of how I Died!
The Woman doesn't seem to recognize the mocking tone and answers his question genuinely.
Woman: well... Your Neighbor was a Terrorist leader planning to blow up a Children's hospital, and I assume the clothes the Terrorist wore that day when the police followed him and the clothes you were wearing at the moment of your death were the same and, the Sniper must have mistook you for the Terrorist and shot you instead.
...
...
Man: Did they not look at my face?
Woman: I assume the angle the Sniper was at, your window must had hidden your face and he was going based on clothes.
Man: surely there was more than 1 person and one of them had a better angle to see me. In fact, I was watching Animeon my laptop, surely my face was lit up from the screen and any other people would have seen I'm not the Terrorist.
Woman: Maybe the Sniper was enraged that the terrorist wanted to blow up a Children's hospital and just wanted to kill the terrorist, notthinking about whether the one he kills was the terrorist.
Man: Yeah, one of my friends is playing a prank. Although I'm not gonna lie, that does sound like something my city would do. Kill the wrong person while hunting a terrorist. Haha! Now, where's the exit?
The Man proceeds to stand up and look around, the woman also proceeded to standup straight as the man got up. He is looking around, trying to find an exit.
The woman is currently wearing a defeated expression, upset that he doesn't believe her.
Woman: You don't believe me?...
Man: not one bit. It would have been more believable if you sati died after 10 years worth of cheap Gas Station food finally giving me a heart attack or something.
The Woman Sighs and Opens a portal next to her.
Woman: That's the Exit, You go through there, and you'll be reincarnated. You'll be set to a world different than yours though- oh, wait. You don't believe me... The portal is the exit.
The man doesn't seem to question the Portal and walks straight through it without a word.
