The Shadows of Underground World: The Uninvited Guest

CHAPTER 1

                                                                                      *ARSHIYA POV*

What is justice? A fight to make sure that the right thing wins. But what is right or wrong? Can we even distinguish between right and wrong in this delusional world? 

A famous quote once stated, 'Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong even if everyone is for it.'

We have tools to enforce justice, but those tools can be modulated according to majority. A world with justice is just a fantasy, the justice only belongs to top one percent of the world. To others world is nothing but cruel to them.

The only truth is this world is that there is nothing right. Anything that people believe in is termed right, they just have their flawed sense of justice.

I was running as fast as I could after completing my mission. Somehow, I got separated from others and I needed a break. I had no time to catch my breath as I climbed the plateau, and finally reached the top.

This place is abandoned due to tragic incident that happened five years ago. For the first time in centuries the gate was opened. The gate to the upper world where all the monsters reside. They look like us humans but are heartless creatures.

A secret organization was formed years ago in case of the outbreak happens like what happened five years ago. Thankfully it didn't cause any harm last time because of the strongest warrior among us.

But the training has increased rapidly, and we are given more missions to maintain justice in the underground world. We call ourselves 'The Shadows'.

We just caught a big gang, but the police arrived before we could dispatch. We can't be seen by general public and hence we had to run away. 

I finally sat on the edge of it and looked up once again. There was nothing but darkness, all I could see was mud all over. I had always wondered why it never fell over. It felt good sitting in silence once a while.

I have heard that upper world has something called the sun which gives them light all the time. I don't know why but somehow; I have vague memories of it too. People tell me that I wanted to see it so badly that I created an imaginative world where sun existed.

I checked my surroundings, making sure that no one is present. Then I removed the hood of my black robe and took the air in. It felt really good after feeling some air on my face. 

I once again looked towards the ceiling of darkness and thought, 'I wish something interesting happen and...'

Before I could complete my thought, I saw something falling down. What was it? Some sort of rock?

Soon the image became clear and there was no doubt in it. It was a boy falling down from above.
