"For a second… I thought she could be a way out for us." That made him turn. "A way out?" he repeated, his brows knitting slightly. "What do you mean?" Isabelle shifted beside him, propping herself up on one elbow so she could look down at him. There was something strange in her eyes—something calculating, but also… hopeful. "Have you heard of doppelgangers?" she asked. "Someone who looks exactly like you?" Ryan let out a quiet breath of amusement. "I've heard the myths. If two doppelgangers meet…" he said lazily, his gaze drifting over her face, "…the one who sees the other first is doomed to meet a tragic fate. Death, sometimes."

And why did I feel like I had just witnessed something I shouldn’t have? A memory then sparked. A rumor. It was a story I had heard in school years ago. We were kids then, sitting in a circle while the power was out, swapping ghost stories. Someone had whispered about doubles—people who looked exactly like you, not twins nor relatives, but strangers who shared your face. The story went like this: everyone has one—a doppelgänger. But you’re never supposed to meet them. If you do, bad things happen. I’d laughed it off back then and called it simply superstition, another story to frighten children.

"We were chosen because we looked enough like the bloodline. We were not related, Debbie. Not at all.” “So…” I swallowed. “Your looks… you… how do you… how do you explain your striking mirrored resemblance?” “We are doppelgangers, Debbie.” Doppelgangers. The word hit me. Right in the depth of my brain. I had forgotten that there was a word like that in this world. “We were picked from different corners of the world. Scraps of people that nobody would miss."

He staggered toward the door, trying to step outside for help—but his legs failed him. His body weakened rapidly. He collapsed to the floor. Coughing violently, he reached for his phone with trembling hands. Ajayi. He tried to call her. But his fingers wouldn’t cooperate. His strength was fading too fast. Foam gathered at the edge of his lips as his body convulsed, the pain now unbearable. It hit him then. The realization. “I’ve… been poisoned…” Fear replaced everything else. Regret followed.

"Because there is only one doppelganger of someone per generation," Jackson said and I looked at him blankly. "It is said that in the world, we always have a doppelganger. Sometimes the Goddess gives these doppelgangers powers and blesses them appropriately to be recipients of great power—" Jackson stopped his talk and suddenly looked at me with a somber look. I was missing the point.

A doppelgänger. My gaze swept the field, heart tightening in my chest as the horror unfolded in its fullness. They weren’t just bodies; each rogue seemed to have a twin. Perfect replicas lying dead beside them, as if the life had been sucked out of both versions in a single breath. Cassius’ voice was low, carrying a weight that scraped at my spine. “Every single one, Cardan. Not just one or two. All of them. Pairs. Doppelgängers.” He gestured around, his jaw clenching. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

The darkness wrapped around him—cold, suffocating. Then, within the void, a figure emerged. A man covered in black and gold scales. Himself. The doppelgänger was identical to him—except for the eyes. They were pure black, empty, soulless. Its reptilian lips stretched into a slow, wicked grin. “What the fuck are you?” Gildeon muttered, pulse thundering in his ears. Then the doppelgänger moved, extending its dragon arms into the swirling dark fog, grasping at something unseen.

Or someone who looks like him. He appeared older and more intense, dressed in black robes instead of a suit. His eyes shone red, not gold, and his grin was sinister, stretching unnaturally wide.
