#shujinko

I've no regrets on killing off that mimicking fraud, Shujinko, and his death and Ashrah's ascension should've been kanon! Writers, and Boon the Baboon, are lazy pricks that never care for his nor Tobias' characters!!

Have you ever summoned the Queen of Spades? Divined with a mirror? Communicated with spirits through a Ouija board? Then you know that feeling. The feeling of something invisible's presence...

One evening in a village of the Earth Realm, a group of boys was bored. Shujinko, the bravest and seemingly most reckless, suggested to his friends—Apep, Takeda, and Kung Jin—to try summoning a ghost. He found an old book at Master Bo' Rai Cho's and read about various rituals. Of course, he shouldn't have stolen the book or tried anything from it, but curiosity and boredom won out. The guys embraced the idea enthusiastically, with only Apep trying to dissuade them, considering it dangerous, especially since the book was stolen from the master. But in the end, he agreed not to be the odd one out.

The boys chose the simplest ritual: summoning the Chaos Ghost. It didn't require exotic ingredients—everything was at hand. They extinguished all the lanterns, leaving just one candle. The atmosphere grew eerie, and Kung Jin heightened it by making terrifying sounds. He was skeptical, believing it was all nonsense and nothing would happen, but the ritual was a pretext for jokes and scares. While Shujinko meticulously followed the book's instructions, Apep huddled in the corner, pressed against the walls; he was scared and didn't want Kung Jin to jump out from behind. Takeda just regretted not being allowed to bring his camera phone to the village. The mysterious tension built, Shujinko performed the final gestures, and... Nothing. Silence. After a few seconds, Kung Jin screamed in pain and fell to the floor; it seemed like he was having convulsions, shaking and growling. Terrified, his friends rushed to help, but when they tried to hold him, Kung Jin started laughing. He had pranked them. The boys exhaled and playfully beat him up while he giggled triumphantly. Only Apep wasn't in the mood for jokes. But his friends comforted him: the ritual led to nothing.

Some time later, the boys went to bed. They couldn't sleep for a long time, chatting about this and that, but when they were almost asleep, Kung Jin felt a strange sensation in his stomach, as if something was stirring inside. It wasn't gas or cramps—it was something foreign moving between his intestines. The boy panicked and called out to his friends. They grumbled sleepily, no one believing him anymore, thinking he was faking it again. But Kung Jin kept screaming. Apep lit a lantern, and in the dim light, they all saw something bulging and moving under the skin of their friend's belly. It took the shape of a hand, as if someone was trying to claw their way out from inside, stretching the skin. The boys panicked: Kung Jin started pounding his stomach, Apep cowered in the corner again, screaming that he had begged them not to do this damn ritual; Shujinko froze in shock and blamed himself, while Takeda frantically opened the book, trying to find a solution, but in his panic, he couldn't make out a word.

Kung Jin's abdominal skin stretched tighter and burst, spraying blood, releasing a foreign hand that grabbed the boy's fist and squeezed so hard that bones cracked. The boys jumped back from Kung Jin, who was already passing out from the pain. A second hand emerged from his belly, then a head... The head was facing backward, but it twisted 180 degrees and stared at the terrified kids. The face was missing skin on the lower part, revealing bone, and it was frozen in an eternal grim smile.

The torso followed, finally tearing Kung Jin's body apart, and then he emerged fully. Covered in blood and the boy's intestines, he took just one step, and the boys fled their hut. Havik only wanted to thank his liberators, but the children were long gone.
