Welcome To My Hell

As a man lay sleeping in bed, someone suddenly grabbed his hand and pressed it onto the induction heat. Startled, he jolted awake, feeling shocked and scared. Taking a deep, calming breath, he reassured himself it was just a dream. However, as he glanced at the clock, it read 7:45. It was a nightmare in broad daylight."

As he lay staring at the ceiling, his mind conjured elusive figures and images-a nostalgia of the past haunting him. Memories of someone kicking his ass, someone slapping him, played on repeat in his mind.

His thoughts were in disarray, leaving him confused and frustrated, unable to piece together what had happened the night before. He instinctively placed his hand on his head, only to catch sight of something that made his chin drop-a burn on his palm. And with that sight, everything flooded back to him-all of it.

Staring at the ceiling, he whispered, "My name is... Well, there's no real name, just a nickname... Death Keeper. People call me DK without understanding its weight... I want to leave my past behind to start anew, but there's some mark that reminds me of them, like alarms, waking me every morning.

Silent yet deafening, they echoed through my mind, just like today. Memories flooded back, each detail vivid and haunting-every person clear as sky, every place haunting like a nightmare, every moment captured like a snake, etched into my consciousness. I felt like I am a brewing storm, ready to unleash chaos upon everything in my path."

"Suddenly, DK hears someone calling him in a cute, childish voice, "Baby." His bedroom door opens, and in walks a beautiful lady, her hair cascading down her back, her black eyes sparkling. It's none other than his girlfriend, a woman of medium height with a radiant smile.

DK exclaims, "Ah, my mind feels like it's in a battlefield."

Diana responds with an energetic, cute voice, "We did have a battle last night... Did you forget?" She laughs, "Ahh-haha."

She continues, "Let's go for breakfast now."

As DK moves to freshen up, Diana grabs his hand and leads him to the kitchen. He notices she hasn't made his favorite omelette; instead, she's prepared a peanut butter sandwich, which isn't to his taste.

Diana looks at the breakfast and bursts into laughter, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Ah... hahaha! I'm so sorry... I forgot you like omelette. Ahh, my life is so hard."

She starts to head towards the stove, but DK pulls her towards him and says, "I will make it... don't worry."

Diana looks at him with a cute expression and says, "Are you angry with me? Uhm... You can't make it since you always wear those black gloves like a serial killer. I know you have a burn mark, but you know I don't give a shit... Oh, sorry, I mean I don't care. Instead, I would be happy to see it. Since I have seen every inch of your body, so what's there to be shy about?"

She instantly realizes what she said and blushes, "Oh... aha, sorry, I was being so dirty. Ahh, silly me."

As DK starts breaking eggs, he spills a bit, just a tad. Diana stops him, "Stop! Look, you spilled a lot here... I'll help you. Go and just sit... let me..."

DK insists that he can manage, but Diana keeps refusing, "Oh no, let me... let me."

And just like that, Diana's body is pushed backward, and she accidentally puts her hand on the induction heat for a second. She quickly pulls it back, standing in a bent position. She stares at her palm, her eyes wide, dark orbs shining brightly. She freezes as past visions flood her mind, her expression tense.

After a moment, she starts moving again, slowly turning to face DK, who is watching her with wide eyes. Her face is dim, but suddenly colors flood back as she exclaims, "Oh no... my pretty hand! Look, it's burned. What should I do? Will you leave me because I've lost my beauty?"

DK tries to calm her down, then says something that brings a smile to her face and excitement to her eyes.

"Today, I will take you hiking."

Diana's mouth drops open in shock. "Really?" she starts laughing, "Ah-ha, haha!" She dances with joy.

After a few hours, they found themselves at the starting point of the hiking trail. Behind them stood a school. DK asked, "You graduated from that school, didn't you?"

Diana smiled a bit awkwardly and replied, "Yes... yes! Why?"

"Just asking... can't I?" DK responded.

Diana suddenly burst into laughter, a hearty "Ah haa-ah." She loved to laugh. After laughing, she said, "You're so funny. Let's head up now."

As DK started moving, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. "Ahh... ouch."

DK exclaimed, "what the hell"

Diana, "Oh no, what should I do... I know nothing." She rubbed her hair, saying, "Ahh, I'm so dumb... le let's go, let me call someone."

Diana suggested, "Let's get back to our car."

DK insisted, "Look, there's an abandoned house... let's go there. I need rest; I can't walk."

Diana protested, "But it's like a slum village... you can't stay there. A-a millionaire can't stay... what will people say if they knew?"

"It's painful... just take me there," DK pleaded.

~Creawakkkekk."

A cracking sound came as they opened the door of the house.

"Eww... it's not even a house... looks like a place where cows live," Diana said, feeling disgusted. "We-the millionaires-living in this crap...?"

Ignoring her, DK remarked, "I think a high school boy used to live here."

Diana's mind was bursting with frustration, nostalgia flooding in. She felt overwhelmed until she noticed DK waving his hand in front of her eyes.

"Why are you frozen?" he asked.

Diana burst into laughter again, "Yea... ye... you notice things faster..."

"Weird.!.. Look at the frame," DK pointed out. "He's wearing the same school uniform as you used to."

"Oh... wow... Interesting, right?" Diana said.

But as she looked at the frame correctly, she was shocked. Her mouth and eyes widened as she slowly approached the picture.

"Did you came here?" DK asked. When she didn't reply, he asked again, "Do you know him?"

Lost in thought, Diana whispered, "Ouch..."

DK moved towards her and hugged her, "Are you alright?"

Diana replied, "I think this crappy smell got me badly... Let's go outside."

" Ooh... I'm sorry, let's go now," DK said gently.

As they were leaving, Diana struggled, leaning on DK's shoulder for support. Suddenly, she felt something sharp pierce her foot. "Ouc-shi-," she cried out. When she looked down, she saw someone's name tag. Upon closer inspection, it read, "Dunter." Diana froze, as if cold water had been poured over her. Her black eyes widened in shock. She murmur, "My lifeee."

Then, she blacked out.

[Before Years Ago-In Highschool]

"The school gate swung open, and students flooded in, creating chaos as the bell rang. As the gate began to close, students sprinted to catch it. One boy and his friend approached, almost reaching the gate, when an old man stopped them.

"Want to see your destiny?" he asked. The boy, Dunter, was in a hurry but didn't want to be rude, so he reluctantly agreed, while his friend continued on without him. The old man asked Dunter to give him his hand to reveal his destiny.

Meanwhile, amidst the commotion, an expensive car pulled up to the gate. A beautiful girl with long black hair stepped out, noticing the gate had closed. She smirked darkly and began walking towards it.

Spotting Dunter with the old man, she smiled brightly and headed towards the gate. However, the gate was already shut. An old man approached her and said rudely, "You're too late, lady... is this the time?"

Unfazed, she retorted, "What? I didn't hear you, you old crap... but I think you can hear me..." Then, she shouted, "Open this fucking crap!"

With a menacing smile, she continued, "You know who I am? At least you know our principal, right? He is my mom's bed partner..." She laughed creepily, sending shivers down his spine. "Ahh-haha..." In dark voice she says,"I can snitch your fucking job."

Quietly, the man opened the gate, feeling tense. The girl pushed back her hair and walked through the gate with elegance, as if she were on a runway. Murmuring, "Ahh-my life is so hard."

As she walked, she heard a voice behind her, "Thank you..." Turning back, she saw Dunter.

With a bright smile on her face, she approached him. Playfully, she said, "Hell-oo... 'Ahh-haha' where did you buy this crappy blazer?"

But Dunter just walked away, muttering, "It's already late."

The girl's smile faded, and she murmured to herself, "So he's ignoring me... 'ah-ah-haa'."

As she entered her class, the teacher was already there, amidst the chaos of rearranging seats. Spotting her in the doorway, the teacher approached.

"Ah, Miss Diana. Finally, you're here. Since I'm rearranging seats, you'll sit next to her," the teacher said.

Diana gave a short smile, mocking her, "With whom, dear teacher?"

"Since your grade is lower than your discipline, go sit with Sinna," the teacher replied.

Diana's face flushed with color. The teacher then called out a boy named Tinni. Diana began to walk towards Sinna to sit, while Tinni was coming out with his bag. Seeing Tinni, Diana playfully put her finger to his stomach, and they both shared a weird smile.

A boy named Haikyu watched them with a dark smile.

The teacher instructed Tinni to sit with 'shine', a girl.

During the lunch break, Diana was in the canteen with her friends Rose and Shine. Soon, their other friends-Boston, Simp, Tinni, and Haikyu-joined them. They were a tight-knit group of seven members who always stuck together.

Diana asked with a dark smile, "Guys, did anybody see Dunter?"

As everyone said no, Shine chimed in, teasingly, "Nowadays, you're only searching for him... what's going on between you two?" Rose nodded in agreement.

Haikyu, with a hint of jealousy, added, "I've noticed it too."

Diana responded with a sassy face, "You, Tommy, dog butch... don't talk to me like that." Rose and Tinni laughed at her words.

With a smile, Diana continued, "I just love to pet a poor ass..."

Suddenly, a boy named Pirate approached the group. "I've seen Dunter and Shark on the rooftop," he said.

Diana stepped forward, her curiosity piqued. "What are they doing on our old place?" She gave him some money and led her gang towards the rooftop.

[Present On Story]

Presently, Diana and DK were in the car. Diana was napping while DK drove.

Diana slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Where are we? Are we at the school?"

DK replied, "I guess you can't handle poor things, huh?"

Diana, with a hoarse voice, replied, "Finally, you're understanding me."

After a quiet ride for some minutes, Diana seemed unusually quiet. DK asked, "You're quiet now... which is shocking!"

Diana explained, "My head is hurting... Can you please stop at Susma Pharmacy?"

DK agreed, "Okay, but I'll accompany you."

Diana insisted, "I know you have a lot of work to do... so go finish it. I have a friend there, so you don't need to worry."

DK dropped her off at the pharmacy and opened the door for her. Diana breathed in the fresh air excitedly, saying, "Ahh, thank you."

DK remarked, "I think you've returned to your world."

Diana laughed, "Ah-haha... I was just a little tense before. Now I'm fine. You can go."

DK hesitated, "But before I go, here, take my blazer. It's winter, dear. I can't let cold catch you.."

DK handed her his blazer and then watched her enter the pharmacy from his car. Diana kept looking back and waved him farewell. After a few minutes, she saw him drive away, and she took a long breath.

Her expression changed, no longer colorful but black and white, with a bold face. She picked up her phone and called her friend Rose, asking, "I'm at your workplace, where are you?"

Rose replied, "I'm at your boyfriend's place..."

Diana's voice turned angry, "Fuck... What are you doing there? I have something to tell our whole group... wait, I'm coming... fucking ass."

She hailed an Uber and entered. After some time, the Uber stopped at her place by the beach, where there was a building. She left the Uber in a hurry, but the driver called out, saying she forgot to pay him. She sighed and returned, muttering, "My fucking life," as she paid him.

The driver thought to himself, "Wow, she's so crazy... How does her man handle her?"

Meanwhile, her man, the Death Keeper, DK, was laughing alone in his car, wearing AirPods and listening to music. But since when did music become funny?

"Her man's life is incredibly interesting and fun... Not because of her behavior, as both are the same, and both are acting for their own needs... But what do they both need?"

" Diana stepped into the lift and pressed the button for the 9th floor, the top floor of the building.

As the lift doors opened on the 9th floor, Diana stepped out into a room where a fencing class was in progress. People were practicing fencing, dressed in white fencing attire. Diana emerged from the lift, her face adorned with an angry smile.

Spotting a red-haired girl, who was none other than Rose, Diana's anger flared. She shouted, "You bitch! While I was sweating in an Uber under the scorching sun, you're here enjoying yourself!"

Rose turned around and retorted, "Girl, we all live under the sunlight, facing the moonlight..."

Diana, frustrated, exclaimed, "Ahhh... There's a ghost haunting me! How can you be so composed?"

She shouted even louder, "Ahh... fuck!"

The entire class fell silent, shocked by her outburst, but Diana paid them no mind.

The instructor, dressed in black attire, approached them and declared, "Okay, guys, that's it for today's class."

As the class dispersed, the instructor approached Diana and Rose. He gently touched Diana's face and asked, "Which ghost is tormenting you?"

[Before On High School]

Dunter was on his way home, which was located behind the school in the hilly area. It was already night when he approached his house, and he could hear music pumping from inside. Hurrying inside, he found his classmates enjoying themselves in his own house.

Boston was pumping music, Simp was frying chicken on the induction stove, and Haikyu and Diana were kissing each other. Shine (Tommy) was engrossed in her phone, Rose was straightening her hair, and Tinni was smoking.

Dunter was shocked by the scene. As they noticed him, Rose remarked, "Oops, guys, the owner came."

Diana apologized, "I'm so sorry, we didn't wait for you, but come join us."

Tommy closed her phone and remarked, "So we're in his house... what a mess, right, Dunter?"

Dunter asked, "What are you guys doing?"

Haikyu stepped forward angrily, "Didn't you invite us?"

Trying to calm him down, Haikyu held his hand to Dunter's neck and pushed him towards Diana.

Haikyu demanded, "Say sorry to her!"

Dunter asked, "But for what?"

Tears filled Dunter's eyes as he asked, "How did you guys know my place?"

Tommy approached him, holding his chin, and insisted, "Say sorry to her..."

But he didn't.

After some time, Diana asked, "So you're not going to apologize to me?"

Looking at his right hand, Diana exclaimed, "This is the hand you used to look for your destiny before, right? What did it say?" But Dunter remained silent.

Diana shouted in frustration, "Why do you always fucking ignore me... ahhh!"

She laughed, "Haa-ahaha," and forcefully placed his hand on the hot induction stove where Simp was frying chicken.

"Ahhh... ahhh," Dunter cried out in pain, but nobody paid attention except his enemies, who were laughing in his hell.

After some time,

Simp intervened, "Diana, leave him... it's hot... fucking hot."

Diana, with an innocent expression, removed his hand from the stove and realized it was burned. Shocked, she said, "Oh no, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was hot."

Tears streamed down Dunter's face. Suddenly, Diana started laughing again, and her whole gang joined in.

[Present-DK]

DK sat in his car, tears streaming down his face as he listened to music through his AirPods.

Each tear fell slowly into his palm, where he watched it, his gaze fixed on the stain of the burn on his injured hand.

"Actions speak louder than words... but before I begin my actions, there must be a little introduction... to my enemies who laughed in my misery, to my classmates who laughed so they don't become the next me... to my hell, the place I grew up in," he thought.

"I am DK... writing this magnificent, dark thriller... I may not be good at writing, but you'll love this.... cause it's horror will hold you... Until it's end... my plan... inked with my full strength... an eye for an eye may make the whole world blind, but with my revenge, it will be darker than blindness... At last I was the storm who don't know it's limit,

Storm who warns them of its arrival... Just so it won't be boring, a psycho who was willing to an end to it... I'm writing this as a story, so people don't think it's real... but in reality, it is someone's experience... someone's nightmare in a daydream... it is someone's journey... and to those who were a part of it... 'Thank you'... thank you for making it thrilling, not boring."

As Diana explained the situation to her friend, she began to act like a psycho, her voice rising in intensity.

"Today we visited his house... I fucking got scared... I blacked out... and I saw him... a nightmare... fucking..." she shouted, her voice filled with fear and frustration. "Ahh... a fucking nightmare... I saw."

DK sat in his car, pen in hand, and wrote in his diary, "Welcome To My Hell..."
