Cativation - Chapter 0

Blood moon hanging high on the sky, turn the already ink dark sky into a bloody violence red hue. From afar, a stream of blue light descending seemingly out of no where, it is thicker than a few millions-years old tree trunks combined, a few kilometer in diameter approximately. Upon closer inspection, that stream is composed of billions and billions of souls, from all species. It then divided into multiples smaller streams when it reached a huge sky high mountain peak. It’s called Hell Gate Peak. A few hell guards are separating them into sections on the mountain peak, thus creating smaller streams of souls.

Around the peak is filled with cliffs road with puddle of lava, under those cliffs are raging hell fire, particularly lethal to souls. If a soul was to fall into it, it will be burned to nothingness, never to reincarnate again.

A few giant hell guards are treating on the that same fire while some are flying on the sky. They have blood colored eyes, wear gray armors and holding a huge pitch black trident, their wings are similar to those of a bat but covered in gray scales. The blood moon light reflecting on their faces only make their orangeish skin look more ferocious.

This is hell. It is composed of multiple sections, each corresponded to a specie, there are human hell, cat hell, fish hell, even plant hell and many more. However, cat hell and fox hell are different from other section, it’s because of their unique cultivation system.

In human case, they have to forsaken their soul and only their consciousness will be reincarnate. This is why they forget all of their memories of previous life. The body is obviously lost upon dead.

In cat and fox case, they are permitted to keep both their souls and their consciousness when they reincarnate, thus all memories and souls modification are intact when they reborn. There is a catch however, their memories will be locked and will unlock gradually the more they live.

A long line of thousands of kilometer of cat souls waiting on a cliff passage not far from the Hell Gate Peak for their turn to meet the Hell Judge. He is the one who check dead soul’s dossiers and judge if you are permitted to reborn or not.

A hell guard is guarding the entrance, occasionally pushing trouble making souls or those with overwhelming negative karma of the cliffs, into the raging flame underneath.

“Next!” Roaring the guard. His roar is like thunderclap and even contain a tiny hint of heavenly Daos, every souls near him trembled in fear.

A small sized cat dozing off in the line. He has short white fur with a huge black dot covering one of his eye. There are three long strips of blue running along his tail, from the top end to half of it. Other than that, he looks like a normal house cat. Luckily he is in the middle of the line, quite far so the guard hasn’t bother to push him off the cliff yet.

Next to him is an even smaller female cat. She seems to scared out of her wits, looking every where and trying to keep her big eyes open, afraid a blink and something bad will happen. She is Bluetail’s previous life sister.

She tugged his arms: “Brother, don’t sleep, the big guys will push you off the cliffs”.

Bluetail lazily opens his eyes and grin: “Don’t worry sister, we are still far from him, he won’t bother with us. If you are scared, how about I tell you some stories?”

“You are still in mood for stories? Alright!” She loves his stories the most.

“Once I chanced upon a grilled fish, but it was the bad man’s fish.….. .. . ” Time flew.

It’s finally his turn. His sister had gone in first as the meeting is individual. She probably won’t reincarnate in the same world as him too so it was his last time seeing her.

“Your turn” Said the hell guard in a cold emotionless voice.

Bluetail processed forward into a big hall. He stays calm and composed, this is not his first time here.

At the end of the hall sit the Hell Judge on a black throne. The Hell Judge is always from other race from the section they are in charge off and the person in position change every 3 human years, as a way to make sure the judges are impartial and fair. The Judge in cat section is from elephant race. Bluetail always wonder how can he can hold papers without finger as there are thick stacks of papers on his desk.

“You again? You just died not too long ago” The Judge glanced at a paper on his desk:

Bluetail of Four Fails clan – 8 deaths – Mortail Realm – Soul Splitting Stage First death: Breakthrough death

Second death: Choked to death

Third death: Breakthrough death Fourth death: Breakthrough death Fifth death: Starved to death

Sixth death: Starved to death

Seventh death: Beaten to death

Eighth death: Drowned

Soul force: 100

Body force: 0

“You need 156 more soul force points to reach the next realm and you only have 1 life left in Mortail Realm. This will be difficult” The Judge frown.

“Sir, I just have an unlucky streak, please send me to better a better planet, like Waterius or Chocolarius, I had my breakthrough there. My potential is high enough since I reached the first three stage easily!” Pleading Bluetail with crocodile tears in his eyes.

“Ayee you also said that the last time. You should be aware that you cant be reborn into the same planet you used to live so no point begging. To be honest, I don’t think you can reach the Immortail realm next life, 156 points is enormous. This time I will send you to Earth, you will have an easy life there and die peacefully.”

Bluetail turned pale. Before he opened his mouth to plead, the Judge flick his hand and a green portal appeared on top of Bluetail’s head out of nowhere and sucks him away.
