There's Always Someone Stronger

After Meredith left the Main Cabin, Brad returned with the police officer and sent him on his way.

"Why didn't you tell him about the videos?" asked a counselor.

"Because they're old. They're all dated, and they have nothing to do with us. Everybody, just go get some rest. Tomorrow is water day, and we need to wake up early to put up the bounce house on the lake."

---------------

Tie Ta, Reika, and the newbies were sitting around a campfire smoking some of the counselors' weed. The remaining 11 newbies were all shaken up.

"Why didn't any of you leave with the other idiots?" Tie Ta asked everyone.

"The watch could have been a bomb. The rules say don't leave, so why test it?" said Yinkong.

"Smart girl. So things have changed. I'm sure you've all heard we're at camp crystal lake. For those of you who haven't seen the American horror film, this is the stomping ground of Jason Vorhees. As long as he doesn't show, we should be good. But if he does--"

"Hey." said a woman who looked a lot like Xu Lingyue, and the guy next to her looked like Yang Yang.

Tie Ta was sure as hell they had to be doppelgangers. And he was going to ask them who they were, but the looks on their faces didn't sit well with him.

Tie Ta turned around and saw a few campers heading towards a counselors cabin. "Let it happen," he said. "As I was saying. If Jason does show up, find something, and cut his head off. I mean, he won't die, but he would be dead for right now, and later someone will resurrect him, and he will kill them."

The newbies were flabbergasted.

"Can I ask a question?" asked Tengyi.

Tie Ta looked at him and then looked at Reika.

"Qi Tengyi," she said.

"Ah, yes, you can ask me a question, Tengyi."

"That sword," Tengyi pointed at Tie Ta's Asauchi. "Did you exchange it from GOD? I've never seen anything like it."

Tengyi was amazed, which isn't uncommon for an appraiser.

"I did. Its name is...Asauchi." said, Tie Ta.

"Okay," Lingyue spoke. "We survived the first day. And I don't want to spend time talking about your embryo Zanpakuto. How about we all introduce ourselves?"

Tie Ta laughed, "How about you start, Xu Lingyue."

"H-how do you know my name? Can you read minds?" she asked.

"No, it was actually a guess. At first, I thought you were a doppelganger, but I remember everything, and I've seen enough of your interviews."

"Well, I'm Xu Lingyue. Yes, I am an actress. On my right is Yang Yang, also an actor. He was over my place to tell me how he stabbed me in the back and let my part be given to another actress. Granted, she is gorgeous, but it was still a dick move."

"Wait, are you saying that both of you were transported by one prompt?" Reika asked.

"Prompt?" asked Lingyue, "Ahh, you mean that meaning of life thing? Yes, Yang was talking, and I was ignoring him, and the prompt was well-timed. I thought it would lead to a porn site, but we both ended up here."

"A porn site?" Yinkong asked.

Lingyue smiled and said, "I thought he was the best-looking man around at the time. If I couldn't get the part, then I had to get something. What better way to set the mood than an impromptu porn pop-up."

"Hahaha! Alright!" said Tie Ta, "Who's next?"

"Bai Wutong. Chemist and MCU fanatic. Do we go to MCU movies or TV shows?" he asked.

"I hope not." said Tie Ta, "The MCU is amazing, but there are just too many 'gods' and people with god-level power. And I still have a rookie team."

"But you are powerful." a man commented. He had salt and paper hair but young features, though, the few visible wrinkles put him in his forties, "Ouyang Di, sorcerer and car salesman."

"Is that on your business card?" Reika asked, and the newbies snickered.

"No. Nobody buys cars from a sorcerer. But my grandfather taught me everything he knows. I used to exorcise ghosts before I came here. And you have immense power."

Tie Ta chuckled again," High-level power, not immense. That's like two upgrades away. But good of you to be here."

Ouyang Di continued to stare at Tie Ta before he asked another question, "My family. My wife, will I ever see her again?"

"After the second movie, you won't want to. I suggest you make a new one. Besides, you wouldn't be here if you truly loved her as much as you said you did. Like Xu Lingyue and her rich life didn't satisfy her as much as the media told us it did. We were all looking for excitement or an end to long-term despair. I, on the other hand, literally read the prompt after I clicked 'yes.'"

"So you're here by accident too?" Yang Yang asked.

"Fate, my friend. I'm here because of fate. So is there anyone who wants to go next?"

The newbies sat quietly, and some of them had already introduced themself before the mission started.

"Well, I have questions," said Ming Yanwei. "Are you a shinigami? because I love Bleach."

"Well, you can manifest that love by becoming a Quincy or Shinigami if you survive."

Tie Ta, and the newbies sat around the fire for a while longer as they all asked their questions about God's dimension. Tie Ta kept the conversation towards exchanges and points. This way, he answers questions without telling all the secrets, and he also got a feel for what power systems they would go for if they survived.

When the morning came, it was expected to find Brad murdered in his cabin. Not only was he hanged by his feet. But his tongue, eyes, hands, and cock were gone. Two female campers were also missing.

Thankfully Tie Ta smelled the blood and found him first. Reika and Zhao Yinkog cleaned the cabin, and Tie Ta took the body to the woods. He said he would bury the body, but Reika knew that Tie Ta was eating Brad.

This was the best way to keep the plot going. Tie Ta had no idea what the plot was, but getting by without panic was the best he could do. And it worked until Chere took charge of the camp while Brad was 'MIA.'

Chere lead the counselors to continue with water day, which was a horrible idea, as a kid drowned. Chere was supposed to be the lifeguard, but she made Greg the lifeguard so that she could run the daily activities. But the ginger is the embodiment of Ron Weasley.

Tie Ta managed to pull the kid out and brought him back through the gates of death with the help of his TK and Qi. Unfortunately, the sacrifice had already been made.

Xiao Binyi and another newbie had let the alcohol and weed get to them. One of the older campers around seventeen had been swinging her ass for them throughout the day. She finally got her wish when the sun went down.

The two newbies had got her into their cabin shared her. The three of them were in euphoric bliss. Binyi had his cock in a fresh cunt, and the other newbie took the girl's ass. The girl was getting DP'd better than she fantasized when she masturbated the night before. This is a good thing because she wouldn't die a virgin, and not every female could get fucked by two cocks simultaneously.

While the three feinds were humping away, a large masked man entered the room with his blade and slit one man's throat. He then finished by taking his machete and stabbing it through the girl's back and into Xiao Binyi's chest.

----------------

-Third morning-

"They do know we are not in China anymore," said Yanwei as she looked at the three naked bodies stacked on top of each other with two cocks still in the American girl.

"What does that have to do with anything?" asked an American newbie.

"Age of consent in China is 14," said Tie Ta. "Controversial, yes, but I have met and hacked people with 14, 15, 16-year-old lovers who are completely aware, willing, and proud. I even had a friend when I was young. Before I left Wuhan, her lover was 31 years old, our teacher. She was head over heels, but of course, she was no stranger to my bed and a few others."

"Are you serious?" the man asked, disgusted. "That's some Jerry Lee Lewis type shit."

"Elvis and Priscilla," added Reika.

"Hey! Elvis was a King." said the American.

"Americans love to split hairs to support their views," said Lingyue

"I know what I want, and I kill people for a living. I turn 16 in a week, and a few of these counselors are on my list before they get themselves killed," said Yinkong with a light chuckle. And Yanwei agreed with the little assassin.

"Let's stay focused. And none of that shit is allowed in GOD's realm. Yinkong, you will make your own man until you're mature enough. " said Tie Ta.

"So, 16?" asked Yinkong.

"18," replied Tie Ta.

"17, and you have a deal," said Yinkong

" Fine. Now, stop the idle banter and clean this mess up. I'll handle the bodies,"

Everything went well, and Tie Ta returned in a few hours. Though his body wasn't quite what it should be after a hearty meal. He actually seemed sort of sluggish and pent up. But, he refocused his attention on the police cars at the main cabin.

Three more older campers and a counselor had been killed.

"What happened?" asked Tie Ta.

"More murders. But these were during the day," said Yang Yang.

"Any kids missing?"

"None."

-------------------------------

It was now noon, and the newbies were getting anxious. Chere was telling the counselors that kids were being sent home in two days from then. But Tie Ta had other issues on his mind. Like the fact that he couldn't stop looking at Chere and Meredith and imagining them together. He could hear their hearts beating and their muscles contracting. It was hunger.

Tie Ta was confident of his abilities, but he wasn't sure if the two women would be willing to mingle with each other. So he tapped Reika to help him out. She was a bit disappointed as she was having romantic feelings towards him, though she felt relieved when he said he planned to eat them.

When Chere was finished speaking, the counselors went on to help the kids pack and started working on closing down the camp. Tie Ta started with Chere. She was a wreck with everything going on. So Tie Ta gave her an offer to take her mind off of things.

Reika helped from a distance. Chere soon agreed to a late rendezvous, and Tie Ta agreed to meet at her cabin. He then moved on to the morbid, dark-haired Meredith.

When night came, Tie Ta and Meredith arrived at Chere's. The three sat and talked for a while, shared a few party favors, and played some games before they were loose enough to step out of their clothes and into bed.

Meanwhile, things at camp crystal lake were getting twisted. With the campers' impending departure, Bughuul possessed his chosen, and the counselors began to fall one by one.

Tie Ta heard and felt it all but continued to fuck two ripe beauties. Filling them with his seed and bringing them to new pleasurable heights as he outfucked any man they had ever been with. Of course, his enhancements made it that no normal man could compete with him.

------------------------

Outside, a girl named Yi Xiaotong was the first player of the night to die. She had found a storage closet to hide in, but a teenage couple was already using the place for sex. Xiaotong didn't stand a chance as the couple hung her with a fishing line. Bughuul then took the couple into his realm.

The next to go was Yang Yang. He was fucking those little bastards up. They came at him, but he fought and killed the killer kids with a boat oar. It was like he had taken on one of his characters from a movie. But his action only served to enrage Bughuul. Forcing Bughuul to step into the material world to kill Yang Yang personally.

Bughuul is a tall, nightmarish, humanoid creature with pale skin and long black hair. His most distinctive features are his lack of eyes and lack of a mouth -- both of which were forcibly removed by his brother Moloch, in retaliation for Bughuul mimicking his sacrificial rituals.

When Yang saw the Babylonian god of darkness, he screamed from the depths of his soul in terror. Bughuul clutched Yang's throat to shut him up. A touch that caused his skin to boil as his soul seeped out of his body like a human colander.

The massacre continued. Only a few campers and the players were left alive, but they were outnumbered and overpowered. Xu Lingyue almost got away until some kid with a bow and arrow shot her in the leg. She limped to the lake and was about to go under to escape beneath the surface when a teenage linebacker jumped on her back.

They wrestled, but the small Chinese woman was no match for the corn-fed, 300-pound football player. Lingyue's vision wavered, and the last of the oxygen in her body was consumed. Lingyue's eyes went wide, and she gasped for air. Her hands slowly went limp, and all seemed lost.

Then a high-pitched whistle penetrated the boy's mind, and he released Lingyue as he held his head in pain.

Reika reached into the water and pulled Lingyue out. Linguyue coughed, and water spewed from her mouth until she could breathe again. Reika then turned her power up a notch and cooked the boy's brains, causing him to bleed from his offices then drop dead into the lake.

Unfortunately, Reika gave the Machete murderer the last kill he needed to face the threat he had avoided since he returned from the depths of crystal lake.

-------------------

In Chere's cabin, Tie Ta was naked and hunched over Meredith's and Chere's bodies. He had given them a good orgasm before he snapped their necks. Like a ravenous beast, he devoured them without pause.

If Tie Ta could see himself, he would know that his veins were bulging all over his body, his muscles grew big, and were tightly pressed against his skin. His body looked void of all fat, good and bad.

Blood energy and Qi swirled together, radiating from him. He was currently slurping the marrow from bones when he realized he had nothing left to eat. In his mind, the door that once closed on him was halfway open again. It needs one last strong nudge, just like his constitution that seemed to be on the precipice of something new.

Suddenly Tie Ta's Kagune was released and stabbed through the closed cabin door. Tie Ta could feel what his Kagune had stabbed. He then twisted his kagune, and the wooden door shattered to reveal the massive machete-wielding man.

"Jason Vorhees. You poor creature. I hoped I wouldn't have to face you. But since you're here and I'm famished, how about you give me your life and haunt the living in another few years or so, eh." Tie Ta spoke in a deranged voice, and his eyes were crazed.

Jason tilted his head, then grabbed hold of Tie Ta's Kagune with incredible strength. Tie Ta was shocked when he felt his knees slightly slide across the wooden floor. He then launched his last two tentacles and skewed Jason again.

With four tentacles penetrating Jason's body, Tie Ta tried to rip the monster in two. He could feel Jason's body tearing, but he suddenly felt a deft force, and Jason's body would no longer give.

"Fuck this!" Tie Ta grunted and launched a full-force telekinetic blast that blew Jason away.

Drenched in blood and naked, Tie Ta used his Rinkaku Kagune to walk outside as Jason pushed himself up from the ground.

Yinkong, Lingyue, Reika, Ouyang Di, Tengyi, and Bai Wutong were the only ones alive and surrounded by killer kids as Bughull watched from the rear. However, everyone turned to look at the monstrous Tie Ta, and the juiced-up Jason Vorhees square up.

With most of the camp dead to clear his vision and two high-level beings in front of his eyes, Bughuul was amazed to see two of the strongest souls he had seen on the mortal plane in centuries.

Bughuul then moved to the group of his chosen children, then vanished to his Realm to devour them all in one go. Everything was confusing to the players, but instead of asking questions, Reika led them away from the impending battleground.

When Reika made it to the furthest cabin, the winds suddenly picked up, and Bughuul appeared through a rift.

"Move!" Reika shouted and intercepted Bughuul's strike. Her Amulet of Shara manifests in lustrous cyan light.

A bang resounded through the area as Bughuul's strike collided with the warrior god's protective shield.

Ouyang Di stepped forward to everyone's surprise, and a navy blue magic circle appeared around the group. Ouyang Di extended his left hand, and his long-sleeve incinerated, revealing his purple electrified tattoos. The purple currents converged in his palm, and two I-ching hexagrams appeared around his tattooed forearm like planetary rings.

Bah!

Magic force collided with Bughuul's chest and caused him to back off if only two steps. Ouyang Di wasn't strong, and Bughuul brushed off his surprise attack. Though, Ouyang Di stayed confident.

"Bejing's number 1 loser Law Mage. The forever 1st Degree, I, Ouyang Di, am here to fuck you up! You faceless bastard!"

"Holy Shit!" said Tengyi

"He's really a sorcerer," said Yinkong. Ouyang Di's sorcery gobsmacked the players.

---------------------

Back with Tie Ta and Jason. The two had engaged in an exchange that had already leveled three cabins. Tie Ta, and his Rinkaku Kagune didn't do much to Jason. Jason's body was intense, and his strike packed a force.

Tie Ta was pressed to add his TK and Qi into the fight, pushing himself to the limit. The longer the fight went on, the more Jason got accustomed to his new power. The battle increased in speed and destruction.

A force came off of Tie Ta as he went into Stage 1 unlocked mode. In this stage, his abilities melded together more flawlessly than he could manage at his current stage. And the biggest help was genetic memory.

Tie Ta used his Memory Palace to capture his ancestral memory then used Total Recall to pull specific skills from his genes.

In Tie Ta's blood, long before the GOD prompt took him from the real-world, Tie Ta had ancestors who used Chi for battle, cultivated, fought gods and demons, Sorcerers, Espers, and so on. Genetic memory was the most accurate record ever kept. It did not lie and recorded everything exactly as it was experienced. Now it was Tie Ta's turn to use what was lost after generations of dilution and random mutation.

"So there were others who chose the path that I walk." He muttered, "Whatever GOD did to you to balance the scales for my Resident Evil Mission is over! Cosmic Heart Sutra, Threefold Convergence!"

The world went silent, and the energy in the surrounding area went still. Qi, Psionic Reiryoku, and Body Essence erupted all at once, enhancing Tie Ta's stats by three times. Reiatsu - the physical force/pressure that a person's Reiryoku creates when released; Qi and Body Essence then merged in harmony.

The next move Tie Ta made in his Cosmic Heart Form was the last. Tie Ta appeared behind Jason. When he looked back, Jason fell to the dirt in minced pieces. Tie Ta walked over and began to eat him, bones included.

Fortunately for Tie Ta, the odds were in his favor that night. In his Cosmic Heart Form, he had enough energy to aid him in the evolution that took place when he ate the last piece of Jason Vorhees.

Tie Ta collapsed in pain, and it was as if his body melted and crystalized. The pain was so excruciating that he couldn't even scream.

'It makes sense now. The flesh...It worked... The ghoul and T-virus combination supplement each other for evolution. Gurghhhh!'

Tie Ta's mind went blank as his organs went through a metamorphosis as well. The half-opened door blew apart, and Tie Ta stepped through the second genetic constraint, Stage 2: Limit Release.

When Bughuul felt the immense energy and noticed it was only one life form, he sped over to Tie Ta, delivering a blow to take advantage of his weakened state. But Bughuul was met with the Amulet of Shara.

One hit!

Two!

Three!

Bughuul wanted Tie Ta's power.

Four! Boom!

The Amulet of Shara shattered and fell to dust. Bughuul moaned, and he struck out once more and was met by Marduk's Sigil.

Bughuul recoiled and groaned in anger. He wanted to know why such ancient protective magic had reappeared in the modern world. It infuriated him.

Dark energy converged around Bughuul as the sun peaked over the horizon. Like the Hallow technique Cero, Bughuul fired his darkness and blasted a cocooned Tie Ta away. The Marduk Sigil held on for so long, then shattered before Tie Ta plummetted to the depths on the far side of crystal lake.

Bughuul's mouthless region expanded, and he let out a roared that shattered the earth around him. He then took a step towards the lake, and a demonic voice filled the area.

"Brother! You have no children to anchor you. The day is not your domain! Return or face the consequences!"

Bughuul sneered and took one last look at Crystal Lake. He then vanished into a rift.

"Who do you think that was?" asked Tengyi, referring to the strange voice.

"Moloch. Similar to the Babylonian God of the underworld, Nergal. But like his brother, Bughuul, Moloch eats children, except he only eats them as sacrifices from their parents."

"Then why does Bughuul eat children?" asked Yinkong

"My guess," said Reika, "A mockery of his brother. Children kill the parent, and he still eats the children. Except now we know his chosen will kill any adult. It's all twisted and fucked up. Just be glad it's day four, and it's almost over."

----------------------------------------------

The players and Reika sat at the edge of Crystal lake, mildly depressed.

"We started at 21, now we're 7," said Tengyi.

"We are so going to die," said Yinkong.

The players went silent, and Reika could only stare at the location where Tie Ta fell to the depths. The body of the 300-pound linebacker then floated across the lake, and Ouyang Di smiled. He then turned around saw all of the bodies that polluted the camp.

"Maybe not," he said. And the players looked at him, "I'm not the world's best Law Mage."

"Bejing's number 1 loser," added Lingyue.

"Yeah. But I do know a few things. Jason is gone, I guess. And we know the day is not Bughuul's Domain. So maybe I could do a little something to protect us."

"Like what?" asked Reika.

"The thing that protected us yesterday. I need it," said Ouyang Di

"How many?"

"All of them."

----------------------------

The fourth night came after a long day. The players were exhausted, and Ouyang Di was covered in blood and guts. The players sat together in the middle of a large magic circle. That's when he came again. Bughuul stepped through a spatial rift.

__________________________

Beneath the water, Tie Ta is nearing the end of evolution. He swam in his thoughts as images of an Ancient GOD took his ancestors through the tales of Greek, Chinese, Norse, and Indian Mythology.

"Horror films. It makes sense now. Like flesh, fear is a stimulus: fight or flight. Since ancient times pressure has been the catalyst, and when humanity hit a genetic stall, this thing...this GOD has appeared to help us along. "

The sounds of conflict penetrated the water and the outer membrane of his cacoon. The energy he felt was of purity and profoundness only ever felt once.

"Bughuul. He must have returned. I have to help or Reika... Reika...She'll... She'll die."

Tie Ta's Kagune slowly erected like the blades of a praying mantis. Big, strong, and three on each side of his lower back.

"Ahhh!"

His Kagune tore through his cacoon, and he blasted forth to free himself. The waters around him heated him.

-Natural evolution! Hidden Quest!-

To stimulate evolution is my code. For Players to evolve without my assistance is the goal. T-Virus: Acquired and stabilized by personal means. One-eyed Ghoul: Acquired through exchange. Catalyst: Acquired through conquest. Stage 1 Tyrant Ghoul achieved. Reward: 10000 Points+ Free Mission Selection(Only available to Team Leaders)

Tie Ta released his Qi and Psionic Reiryoku before rocketing out of the water and landing on the camp crystal lake's shores in a giant explosion.

When he looked up, he saw Bughuul holding Reika and Ouyang Di by the throat, pulling their soul through their skin.

Tie Ta held out his hand towards his cabin, and his Asauchi broke through the cabin wall and flew to his hand. When he drew his blade, his Reiatsu became refind like the sword he wielded.

"Let her go," he told Bughuul.

Both Reika and Ouyang Di fell to the ground, blistered and unconscious. Bughuul moved towards Tie Ta with deadly precision.

"Stage 1: Unlock. Stage 2: Unlock. Cosmic Heart Sutra: Threefold Convergence."

Tie Ta floated, and his Qi turned crimson red and black. Six mantis blades adorned his back. His eyes turned blood red, and black veins completely covered his face. His hair grew longer and became salt and pepper. Tie Ta's fangs then lengthed, and his nails turned to claws.

"You hurt her, and I will try my best to kill you. And if I manage to survive, I swear to whatever gods that rule this world that I will return and destroy you."

Lightning struck, and a distant trumpet blew to ratify Tie Ta's cosmic oath. This was the sign of the God of Abraham, a God that wishes to exterminate all other Gods before him. Bughuul looked to the heavens and roared. He and Tie Ta then collided mid-air. And so the battle began.

-------------------------------

The sun had risen and set as Tie Ta used his kagune to hold himself up. His legs and left arm were ripped off. He held his asauchi up on guard as the hole in his chest slowly healed. Blood spewed from his lips, and his eyes had tears of blood.

To the left, Tie Ta saw a child walk out of the woods and started to laugh. "That's how you survived the day. The child was hidden so that we couldn't kill it."

Tie Ta was deranged, and he had so much backlash from the unlocked states he was barely conscious. 'Where is GOD? Where is the transport? The fifth day has come and gone.'

Tie Ta's mind was in a whirlwind. He stretched his mind out and sensed that Reika and Ouyang Di were still unconscious. Their blisters had worsened as if their souls were still trying to escape.

"Fuck It! If I die, so does she. But if I kill you..." Tie Ta gathered the last drop of everything he had and used his kagune to jump thirty feet in the air. Then he did something completely and utterly out of the box. He prayed to the Babylonian God Marduk. No, he begged him to come out of whatever hole he was hiding in to bless him and help reign in the rogue god of darkness.

Tie Ta's Kagune focused a large orb of power, and mysterious energy came from nowhere and added to his power. Bughuul chuckled as he saw a poor attempt from Tie Ta to call on an all but dead former god-king. He stopped his toying, and Bughuul appeared behind Tie Ta then pulled him into a fatal embrace.

Tie Ta's skin began to boil, his soul, body essence, and qi were pulled to the surface, and then the world went black.
