Chapter 2: What's given, cannot be taken.

Soon, people realized that their every wish was granted by God so easily. The one who were poor became rich and the rich ones became even more rich in no time. That's how the word greed came into existence in that beautiful world.

People started getting more and more greedy day after day as God kept granting their wishes. But it didn't take much time for God to realize his mistake. He never thought that what he was doing in tha name of love for those people, was making those people something else.

Then one day, when humans got bored of their normal, easy going lives, they wanted something fun and exciting to relieve their boredom. So, they summoned God and told him about their wish. This time God lost his sanity and went berserk. His eyes became red with rage and his aura turned dark. Atmosphere became chill and cold winds started blowing.

'You lowly creatures! Just because I was being generous and kind enough to bless you all with my love, you fell that low in you never ending greed? I even tried to turn a blind eye to your ridiculous wishes and expected that one day you would stop but no, your greed kept exceeding its limit and now you have crossed the limit. As your punishment, I'm taking everything that I gave you and you will be back to your simple life once again.'

God disappeared after showing his resentment towards those people. People were left totally blanked out there. They were taking their time to understand what just happened with them. When they finally realised that God was mad at them, they thought it was because they made a request that God didn't like, so they decided to change their wish.

They still didn't know, what their real fault was. They tried to summon God again, begged for his mercy and told him that they would change their wish. God, who was mad at them became even more angrier than before. Seeing that they still hadn't understood where they were wrong, God decided to leave them on their own.

After a few weeks passed, people were living their old life now with which they were not satisfied anymore. But no matter how many times people begged and cried for God, he never appeared. God's existence was gone like he never existed in the first place. People who were devasted by this, soon got eaten by their growing resentment towards God. They thought If God has left us to die, then we'll head towards the devil to survive.

The statues of God which were made as a symbol of love between humans and God were destroyed to dust and soon enough, they started worshiping the devil.

Unlike God, the devil was evil. He wanted sacrifice instead of their love. People who were trying to worship the devil the way they did with God wasn't resulting in anything. Seeing their struggle, the devil decided to tell them the right way to worship him. Devil's voice started echoing around people telling them that if they wanted their wish to be granted, they had to sacrifice their own blood.

People had already lost the their minds and were bored to death with their life, without a single thought they started murdering their own family members. Some people also brutally killed their own children. People were dying and the devil was having a great time getting all these sacrifices. Finally the day came, when the devil appeared.

'HAHAHA... I'm impressed, really impressed. You humans were so desperate for your wish that you went and killed your own family members. Impressive! Now, I shall do what I promised as you fulfilled my demand, but remember what's given, cannot be taken.' After the devil disappeared, people started dancing in joy. They thought finally, their wish would be granted and they were glad to worship the devil instead of God who left them to die. But their happiness didn't last long.

Soon, dark clouds started gathering in the sky. The beautiful environment started looking gloomy. Strong winds started to blow, filled with dust and an unpleasant smell. People who were dancing in joy began to worry about their situation because the change was so sudden. The air became hard to breathe and it started scaring them. People started panicking, they didn't know what to do. They wanted to run but they also wanted to wait and see, what was happening around them. They didn't have to wait for long...

One of them screamed, 'L... look over t... there! Something.... something is coming...' when everyone looked in that direction, their expressions completely changed. They were horrified as they were seeing their death coming to get them.

From a long distance, there were a lot of monsters heading towards the people. Those monsters were half human. Some had horns, some had tails, some had half animal bodies, some were flying. Some were same while some were different but the only thing which was same in all of them was their faces with a creepy smile and they all were as big as a three floor building.

People were standing stiff in their positions. They already knew that even if they ran, they would get caught and killed. They started crying and screaming for Devil's help, because they never even imagined that their would wish would be granted like this.

Devil didn't appear this time, but his voice did. 'Stop complaining, you fools! Who wanted fun and adventure? Go! Run now! Run for your life, you fools!' After hearing him, people told him to undo their wish, but the devil said,

'I already warned you all that what's given, cannot be taken. Now, have fun with living your adventurous life.'

The people finally understood that the devil scammed them. He never planned to fulfill their wish since the beginning, he wanted to watch them die instead. They started regretting that they let go of their dear God who really loved and cared about them. Their greed made them so blind that they were unable to see all that. They insulted and turned their back on the one who created them. They knew that they wouldn't be forgiven for that, but still they begged God for help.

God, who was abandoned by the people he loved, was still mad at them so when the people cried for his help, he turned a blind eye to them. He ignored and left them to die as their punishment for insulting him. People were running and yelling for God's help, but God had already made his decision.
