What started fifteen years ago, put Taekwoon in this situation. The police were on the way. The forest outside his home burned around him. His friends, his family, everyone was gone. Only one person stood beside him, the demon only he knew existed, Ravi.

“This is where it ends, Leo.  You have two choices. Stay here and go to jail or come with me, and end it all.”

    “You’re sick,” The blonde boy spat at the demons feet. “You killed everyone, what makes you think I’d join you?! What makes you think I’d want to be by your side after all this?!”

    “You can’t change fate. You were fated to be mine, as the world burns around me. Every decision you could of made led to this moment.”

    “Get bent, Ravi!” Taekwoon yelled. “I could never be with you! You took the last friend I had.” A tear fell from the forlorn boy’s eye. “You took Wonshik.”

    “Wonshik willingly gave himself to me. It was his fate, just like you are fated to join me.” Ravi walked to the bedroom window and ushered to the forest below. He smirked as the tremendous flames, lapped at the oak and cedar trees surrounding the baneful cottage Taekwoon once called home.

    Taekwoon turned from the sociopath. “I rather burn alive than join you.”

    Ravi growled. “For s sake, Taekwoon, just give in already. There’s nothing you could’ve done or said to stop this from happening.”

    “Yes I could’ve!” Taekwoon shouted. “I could have saved them all! Sanghyuk, Hongbin, Jaehwan, Hakyeon and especially Wonshik... I could’ve saved them all. I could’ve created a different outcome.”

    “Are you really willing to wager on that,” Ravi asked as Taekwoon turned his way.

    “What do you mean?”

    “Do you really believe if you got another chance, you could stop this from happening?”

    “I know I could!” Taekwoon shouted.

    “Fate set this outcome in stone,” Ravi paced. “We were meant to come to this moment. But if you’re deadset on the erroneous illusion that you can change the future, then I’m always up to gamble.”

    “What?”

    Ravi reached onto the ground, grabbing an extrinsic journal lying about the bloodstained carpet beside Taekwoon’s bed.

    “This journal is the written log of what happened yesterday. Every bloodstained detail of your parents is death catalogued in this article. I’ll send you back before any of this began. If you can stop what happens in this last entry, I’ll leave you, and your precious Wonshik alone, if you fail...”

    The demon boy reached out his hand, a blue flame danced around his palm. “You’re mine.”  A pregnant maleficence danced within the air sounding the demon’s palm. A glint of soulless mischief danced within his chrome black eyes. “Do we have a deal?”

Interactive:

The story, Revive will be conductive in a similar fashion to 'Gravity Falls.'  At the end of each chapter, there will be two ciphers.

The first one will be a single chapter cipher that will give the reader a hint to the next chapter. Within the chapter, there will be a hint on how to solve the chapter cipher. I'll also release a guide to the ciphers alongside the story so it'll be easier to solve. 

The second cipher will not be as simple. There won't be a blantent hint within the chapters but there may be a subtle hint. The second ciphers in each chapter lines up together. 

I plan to provide two prizes at the end of the story. One for the person who solves the most single chapter ciphers. The second to the person who first solves the final cipher in it's entirety and tells me what it means. 

I hope these will be fun for the readers (like Gravity Falls was for me)

A/N:

Hello my friends, nyokopuppet here. Those who follow me knew that I was going to be releasing a new fic, Revive. This story is essentially a cross between the anime, "Erased" and the cartoon series "Gravity Falls." But to make it more fun for the reader, this story will be INTERACTIVE!!
