DEATH PASSAGE

Chapter 1 Concrete Mountain

The expanse of green forest surrounded the rugged rock Mountain. Muddy and muddy. High trees loomed all around. It's foggy like a rainy night. A place far from the city center. A place that has not been heard for a long time. A place that is no longer open. Whether it's humans or animals. Only occasionally do birds echo there. It was also a bird that made a long journey. Birds that fly in the air. Even the nocturnal animals did not dare to sway there. Silence is like a dead forest. Only the leaves were swept away by the wind. The mountain was completely abandoned. Only a small pebble rock slapped. Never run, accompany until doomsday.

Solitude is not without reason. A map once happened there, an old event, which shook one country. It was a crazy experiment done by a doctor. This makes the place feared by anyone. Even to mention the name of the mountain alone was already a curse. But someone who doesn't believe in it has tried. Closer to the cursed mountain. I came to him on a good day. But again the disaster happened. Someone has to die. Return with a name that is not buried. Just as a fairy tale for a child. Just as a bedtime sign of how dangerous the mountain was. The mountain is called Mount Beton.

An event that shook the country happened in a dark hole. Gaping wide worthy of crocodiles that sunbathe during the day. Silence for a long time. A lot of silence saves a lot of pain. Moist and mossy. Drops of falling water washed away the rock. Swim in a small puddle for the bath of an ant. Small pebbles slapped at the mouth of the cave.The ground was yellowed and dark sandy.

The cave is very deep. It was like a labyrinth twitching its head in the belly of a mountain. Old flames were still well embedded in the cave walls. It just needs to be oiled and in the fire salute. Just need a little attention. Then everything can still be useful.

The cave has long since expired in popularity. It's over the good times that were created. It made headlines in newspapers. It was once the number one topic in the Rose kingdom. It made the King proud to have it. But all that was lost when the doctor of hope the King went mad. Makes the place fucked. Inviting the nation's rebels to come there. Make the place a gathering of criminals, robbers, and murderers. This ignites the extinguished embers. The mangira king doctor was just a useless symbol. Only the logo shows that he is the king. But the doctor did not know, because the coals in the king's heart were burning and even burning brightly.

The king's anger became great. Feeling insulted by the doctor's behavior. And from there the Mad Doctor was created. Rumor has it the doctor is not sane. Doing the forbidden thing. Experimenting with humans. But Doctor Crazy is like a storm that can't be stopped. A rabbit ends up with a human. That is how life that destroys it must be a human being.

The king was furious and ordered a general to destroy the place. The one who carried out that task was General Junart Jun The Eagle Eye. There have been dozens of wars that the general fought, and all won by a landslide. It was all thanks to an incredible observation. That's why he's in the Eagle's Eye. And the most profitable General Junart is the location of White Eagle Fort is still one plain with Concrete Mountain. It is located on the plain of Polin. It only takes 5 days to travel.

Strange events happen. Not yet had time for the White Eagle Fortress to act to catch the criminals. Everything has been lost. Disappear like dew in the morning. All the tools they had were still left behind. There was no sign of the Mad Doctor running away. All the clothes and food are still there. Even when they arrived. A pot is still burning on the fire. The warm soup still boils half the pot. Bowl bowls fall on moist soil. Not even signs of a battle occurred. Everything's confusing. Until the General decided to explore every corner of the dark cave. Every forest they think is where they hide.

2 Days passed. The general did not find any of the criminals. And the General decided to return. Moments when they came home some of the soldiers also disappeared one by one. Like being swallowed by the earth for no reason. The general decided to hang in there for a few days to find out. But what happened was a night that never stopped. The longer they were there, the more soldiers disappeared. In the end, the general realized something.

“This doesn't make sense. it shouldn't exist in this world” said the General.

The general ordered to return to the fort. The return of those who were initially welcomed even ended with a questionable confusion for the White Eagle Fortress. Clean armour is not scratched. But some of the troops were not in the group. Even the bodies they usually brought back to death were nowhere to be seen. From there, the rumors began to spread. Fairy tales began to ring across the country.

Each troop on duty at that time became a different person. And the General just said It's a cursed mountain.

When the rumors spread. The small village village that was around started to make self-defense. Make a wooden fence that is enough to inhibit the criminals riding. Quite a hindrance to the bandits

moving freely. Even a village rich enough to build its own brick wall. And there are also those who hire soldiers to protect their villages from the threat of bandits or creatures that can endanger the villagers.

“Hmm do it, the business is yours sakarang” said the General who sat quietly with a sad look.

Along with that the bandits also started to run rampant. For some reason, General Junart began to lose his fangs. Starting to lose sensitivity to bandits who are increasingly able to control the polin land. Para

the bandits began to plunder the small villages. Began to take away the independence that the helpless villages had. Everyone began to think that the General had consumed the appropriate age to resign as a great General. But besides that a Commander can still cover the negligence of the General. Successfully complete the bandits one by one.

“General my permission to take over the army to take down all the criminals that are on our land” Great Commander.

“Do as you like” said General.

“Dad, want to get you like this”

The general was silent.

Until 10 years later, General Junart was succeeded by his own son. The man who contributed to the independence of the small village village. His name was Hawert Jun. A person who lives with a vision of mission. Even after he became a general. Hawert was able to finish off so many bandits. And the ultimate is the war of Mount Torton 6 years later. Until making the entire Polin land back to normal. Re-controlled by the Fortress.

But 4 years later the rumors of the bandits began to run rampant again. Composing invisible forces. A revenge mission that has long been tucked away in the chests of criminals. Start putting the puzzle together

a power that has long since collapsed. Enlivening a sense of revenge that is already natural like that. A chain that never breaks. A feeling that must be reciprocated.

5 Days ago the bandits started coming to the cursed mountain. Using rumors kept for 20 years. To hide from the eyes of the eagle that always mamantau from space. Gathering forces that have long been delayed. Again this villain returned to the Mountain shrouded in darkness.

In the moist, mossy mouth of the cave. People work busy. Back and forth moving the wooden crates from the cart into the cave. These people use chains on their ankles and hands. Walk on sandy pebbles without using footwear. Even their clothes were wet from the sweat. It's not just these people who are there. A person with a flushed face distinguishes himself from these workers.

“HOI, FAST” someone yelling. Eyes light up like words to be obeyed. Looking at the workers with eyes full of disdain.“Basic serb” said ketus.
