The possession drug.
Known as a dangerous medicine that allows its consumer to project their astral form to take possession of other people's bodies, leaving the original soul and consciousness of said body in a state of unconscious sleep.
Due to the freedom this medicine grants to play with the lives of others without any consequences, it became known and feared as a high-class object in terms of danger, due to the number of lives ruined or trampled by its fault.
Even with the combined best efforts of multiple groups tasked with maintaining "normality" in the world, the reality is that even today, the constant threat of the possession drug has not been neutralized, which has led to an ever-increasing number of victims suffering from such cases.
Ordinary people living their daily lives, after having been victims of that drug, went unnoticed either due to the relentless action of intelligent possessors or simply due to human negligence, which meant they did not receive the corresponding treatment to return to a relaxing life of unconcern about the kind of misery they live in.
It is for this reason that, in an attempt to calm themselves and seeking solace in sharing the trauma of their experiences, a small group of people had decided to gather beforehand to hold a "victims' meeting" in which to comfort each other by sharing their experiences.
Since it was the first time they met in person, they agreed on a specific place for what would be considered the first meeting of the possession victims' association.
Being the first meeting of a group of people made up of former possession victims, the number was quite small, with only five people present at the location.
The five, respectively, were: a housewife, a small girl, a university student, an office worker, and an apparently high school boy.
These five people were gathered, sitting in chairs forming a circle, observing silence, waiting to see who would begin sharing their story first.
"I suppose I'll start by introducing myself: my name is Eva."
In the end, it was the housewife who decided to offer to break the awkward silence, hoping to give the others courage to speak, at which all the other participants turned to look at her.
"It all happened so fast and at that moment I was just preparing lunch... Until I suddenly felt cold coming from my back... Only to lose consciousness... After that, I woke up feeling as if I had slept for a very long time..."
In response to the words of the housewife Eva, it was the university student named Frey who replied: "Something similar happened to me!"
Followed by a somewhat hesitant reply from the office worker named Rynn, who said: "My case seems to have been a little different..."
At the reply given by the office worker, the other participants turned to look at her with curiosity about her words.
"Well... How can I put it? In my case, I was conscious but unable to control my body... As if I were just a spectator of my own life..."
At Rynn's reply, everyone nodded, understanding better what she meant, and then refocused on Eva's story.
"When I regained consciousness, everything was a mess... My whole life had become a hell."
At those words, everyone focused their attention on her and what she was about to say.
"As I said before, I felt as if I had woken up from a long sleep in which, upon waking, I discovered that seven years had passed."
"Seven years...."
Impressed by the length of time Eva had been possessed, Frey let out a murmur of surprise and terror, especially because she had only been possessed for a maximum of three years compared to Eva's time.
"What happened when you woke up?"
Overcome by curiosity, Rynn asked.
"I... I discovered that I had divorced my husband, lost custody of my children, abandoned my friends, and estranged myself from my parents... Everything... I had lost everything..."
Eva said, smiling self-critically with an empty expression as she recalled that moment.
"When I hear that... I think that perhaps the fact that after waking up my boyfriend hadn't left me was nothing short of a miracle for me..."
After hearing what had happened to Eva, Rynn again acknowledged the support she had received and how fortunate she was that someone maintained their faith in her.
"But not only had I lost all past ties, I also discovered how my body repeatedly fooled around with many men, how it had abused my children almost to death, and how all my savings were spent on both clothes and sex toys... I even thought about committing suicide."
"....."
"...."
"....."
"..."
All present remained silent at Eva's murmured words about her situation.
"But... After meeting a small child who gave me breath at that moment, I was able to resist... And since then, what keeps me going is the idea of helping anyone who finds themselves in a situation similar to mine, so they don't make such a decision as I was about to make..."
From then on, Eva left her life as a simple housewife to begin a covert investigation into possession and how to confront it.
"I wish I could be as positive as you."
Rynn spoke with a sad smile, remembering her time being possessed, in which, unlike the others, she was conscious and knew what her body was doing, being unable to do anything.
She spoke about how she was forced to watch and experience her body perform various jobs ranging from appearing in adult videos and night jobs before finally being freed 1 year later, being the one who was possessed for the shortest time.
"The last thing the person moving my body said was: 'Hey, hey, have you gone mad yet? Ahahahahaha!!'... And then they simply left my body."
"Why would someone do something like that?"
The former housewife Eva asked with uncertainty.
"I don't know."
However, that was the only answer Rynn could give, not understanding why this had been done to her.
"Well... All of that was interesting."
At that moment, one of the only two people who had not spoken until then finally opened their mouth, speaking for the first time in the entire meeting.
"Actually, I had only come here as a test to confirm if this was real."
"Is that so?!"
"?!"
"?!"
As he said these words, the boy took a vial with the words "possession drug" written on it from his pocket and showed it to everyone present with an unpleasant smile plastered on his face. Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Now that I know this thing is real, I'm going to enjoy playing with you all!!"
But while the boy proclaimed these words and tried to drink the possession drug, he didn't notice the silent approach of a person behind him.
"This will be the greate—(SMASH WITH A FRYING PAN!!)—UFF!!"
"Finally..."
In front of the women gathered there, the other figure who until then had also remained silent, holding her hands to her face and looking down the whole time, finally spoke after hitting the high school boy with what looked like a frying pan.
"I CAN FINALLY GET MY REVENGE!!"
The figure of the small "girl" they had seen silent and shy the entire time since her arrival now seemed completely different as she repeatedly hit the boy with a frying pan without any mercy...
That night, Mireya finally managed to release all his stress, marking a memorable moment in the memory of those present.
And while this was happening below,
".... Rima wins...!"
(?! )
(Great!!)
(Amazing!)
An innocent game continued...
