It was a man, but he was flat—two-dimensional, like a cardboard cutout, shimmering with a glitchy, purple light. He looked up at us, and he didn't have a face. Just a line of text where his eyes should be: [REVISION IN PROGRESS] "Run," I said, my voice cracking. "Run where?" Kieran demanded, shifting partially, his claws extending. "I don't flee from ghosts!"

Processes it. And… glitches. It tries to purge the data. But it’s too late. The paradox is a virus in its core code. A ghost in the machine. The concept of sacrificing oneself for something else is like a corrosive acid eating at the foundation of its everything. Its attacks on the Cage falter. The beams of logic waver, become incoherent. Its form shudders, contracts.

Half of his head was blown off, brains and dark red blood clinging to his eye socket. He must have been one of Marco's hired guns in life. There was no way he was among the living now. "Careful, little kitty. Nosing around can get you killed," the spirit said with a ghastly smile, black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. A ghost. "Another one of Marco's guard dogs?" I asked coldly. "I'm the master of this pier," the spirit said, closing in. "But I took the boss's offering, so I have to clean up any bugs that crawl in."

Rivers of ink—thin veins I hadn’t even noticed threading through the field—jerked violently backward, flowing against their own current, pooling in places that hadn’t been there, abandoning others “Okay,” Jax said, voice faint over the roar. “So that’s a system error if I’ve ever seen one.” The world glitched. Literally. Whole chunks of the graveyard landscape flickered in and out like bad frames—one second, a row of graves; the next, empty white; the next, the same graves but at a different angle. Shelves appeared and vanished, half‑formed books fusing into and out of existence. It felt like standing inside a program that someone had just started furiously rewriting while it was running.

I close my eyes and fall into a variation of my usual nightmare. It’s quiet, too quiet. The only sounds are the soft patters of mouse paws skirting across wooden floorboards. I’m in the old slave holding cell from my childhood but I am, as I am now, an adult. I’m in my assassin outfit. There are slaves all around me, but they are frozen in time. Their mouths are agape as if they are afraid and their eyes are empty as if they’ve lost the will to live. Their forms are distorted into odd postures, some with their legs bent over their heads or an arm bent backwards against the joint and up. They don’t have hair or distinguishable faces, and they all wear the same rags I remember from my childhoo

“It just doesn’t make sense. Besides, well… we were tired last night. Maybe we imagined it, or something like that.” “You can’t both have the same hallucination.

It’s just… I don’t know…” Alex stepped closer and gently took her hands. “Look into my eyes, Scarlett,” he asked in a whisper. She lifted her gaze, still full of doubt—and then she saw it. Alex’s eyes glowed an intense, unnatural green, something supernatural, as if she were getting lost in his stare, drawn in and terrified at the same time.

She spat out her food to the side and coughed in shock. She patted her chest, to calm her down. Her throat and nose burning, it looked like there some rice that slip into her nose. It felt realy sore. She looked at the ghost while continuing to cough. Her throat felt itchy and sore at the same time. The ghost man looked very worried. Did he just speak, thought Ria. “I- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you. Have a drink first.." She heard the voice of the ghostly figure.

he snivels and I walk towards him, only to feel something hit my arms, back, and legs in quick succession. I look up and see a smirking sniper and feel the red laser aimed right at my forehead, but that smirk drops from his face when my lip curls into a smile. Ghost was standing behind him, his eyes completely white as he tapped into his beast - that sniper’s head hit the floor in front of me before he could fire another shot. Ghost grins, then he disappears in the blink of an eye and I don’t even have to look behind me to know he’s ripped more sniper heads off.

Ghost Great God's voice fell not long ago, and then saw a huge demon in front of the cliff. One head is completely created by the ghost metal, this is the whole Ghost Body Soul Shredder. "Banshee Wraith, do you think you can fuse me?" Ghost Body spent the whole Soul Shredder sneer. "For so many years, you still haven't woken up from daydreaming!"

It flickered, its predatory shape softening into the image of a simple, rusted bicycle, before dissolving into a cloud of peaceful white dust. "We’re not fighting them, Mia!"

The purple haze coalesced into a giant, distorted face that filled the horizon Thorne’s face, twisted by the sheer weight of the data he had consumed. "You are a glitch!" the sky-voice thundered.
