A man in his 20's is sitting inside a convience store and he is holding a black covered book in his hand that has no tittle over it.
His eyes are completely focused on the book that had strange magic circles in it.
"Oi... Ray, What the hell are you reading ?" A man in his 30's asked as he stepped out from the storeroom.
"How to get anyone under your control using a just their hair." Ray replied with a neutral expression as he closed the book and placed it inside his bag.
"You still in that voo-doo stuff ? I told you man, there is nothing like black magic."
"Do you believe in god, Red ?" Ray asked with a neutral expression as he looked at him.
"I sure do. My mother took me to church every Sunday and I am still going there." Red replied as he started stocking items over the ramps.
"Why do you believe in god ?" Ray asked with a neutral expression as he started signing on the register.
"So that God can do a miracle someday and make me rich. So that I don't have to stack fish cans every night in this stupid convience store." Red replied.
"You believe in miracles but not in Black Magic. For me it's opposite... I believe in black magic and not in miracles because black magic works on an exchange of things, unlike faith that miracles work on.
I am going home." Ray spoke as he immediately exited the shop and started walking forward.
The sky was covered in dark clouds and moon was barely visible.
As ray continued to walk forward, he pulled out the same book from his bag and started reading it once again.
'My name is Raymond, an orphan from birth and I was a very special child. The one that everyone steps away but I never felt the need to get mix with other children.
I never wanted to talk to people or socialize with girls just to make physical relationships with them.
My grades were over the top in school because of my photographic memory, I never forget anything in my life, but I started to score lower marks in order to avoid attention from others.
I didn't attend college and I don't even have any hobbies except one...
I have exceptional interest in black magic ever since I was a kid... The first time I saw it in a movie and I was hooked to it ever since.
I have watched documentaries over it and seen many more movies related to black magic but never have I ever seen it in real life.
I have also performed some rituals that I got from some demon worshipping cults but they never worked. I have found this another book on black magic from a crime scene two blocks from the store or should I say that I stole it from there.
I don't understand the name of this ritual since it's written in a very different language. Even though, I myself know thirteen different ancient and thirty morden languages, yet I can't understand this.
If I am right, all I have to do is create a this magic circle on the ground and stand over it, while chanting this spell but how will I chant it if I don't know what language is this written in ?
I have to decipher this language.' Ray thought as he started to decipher it in his mind, matching the letters with every language that he knew.
"The spell says 'Armiun Jurōl Çiiplé'." Suddenly a deep voice came from behind.
Ray immediately turned around and noticed a man standing behind him, black goggles on his eyes and face mask.
His body was covered in heavy coats and black leather gloves in his hands, no part of his body was visible.
"How do you know ?" Ray asked with a neutral expression.
"I know this language." The man replied.
"Can you tell me what this sentence means ?" Ray asked as he showed the ritual's name to him.
The man stared at it for three seconds then started walking forward without saying another word.
"H-Hey... Listen." Ray tried to follow him but the incoming cars didn't allow him to pass the road.
*Honk-Honk*
As soon as he took a step back looked at the other side, he noticed that the man was gone.
'Who was that guy ?' Ray thought as he closed his eyes and recalled the memory.
'The spell is called, Armiun Jurōl Çiiplé.'
Ray immediately walked back to his apartment and as soon as he switched on the lights,
The apartment was filled with dolls and newspapers that contained news of murders from unknown reasons.
His walls were covered in different language sentences.
Without wasting another moment, ray placed his bag on a single chair that he had as furniture and pulled out a black chalk from his bag's side pocket.
He then opened the book and started drawing the circle over his floor.
Ray gave the circle a single look and drew an exact replica on the ground without looking twice.
"Okay now that's done." He spoke in a low voice as he immediately stepped inside the magic circle and took in a deep breath.
"Armiun Jurōl Çiiplé." He spoke in a low voice as he closed his eyes.
Ray then slowly opened his eyes and noticed that the lights in his apartment have switched off.
"Hmm...? Didn't I-" Before he could've completed his sentence, he noticed that the circle underneath his feet has started glowing.
But only one third part of the circle was glowing.
"Whoa..." Ray spoke as a smile appeared over his face, a creepy smile.
"Armiun Jurōl Çiiplé." Without hesitation, he chanted the spell once again.
*Swish*
Suddenly, swift winds started whirling inside his room and half of the circle started glowing brightly red.
Ray's smile widened and without any thoughts he chanted the spell once more.
"Armiun Jurōl Çiiplé."
This time, the winds stopped and the circle also stopped glowing.
"Wha-" Before Ray could've completed his sentence, he lost consciousness and fell on the ground.
*THUD*
His body turned pale blue immediately indicating that he had died.
*Click*
Suddenly, the room's window opened up and the same man that met him on the red light entered inside the room.
He removed his glasses and his eyes were hollow, darkness clearly visible in them.
"Let me answer your question now that you have paid the price.
This is a one-way transmigration circle and since you didn't choose your target, you will be transmigrated into the body of a person who is on the brink of death. Although, I don't know if you will be transmigrated into this world or another one.
Well, whatever... I will be keeping your body as the price for answering your question." He spoke as he touched ray's corpse and both of them disappeared.
