Intro. Title: Pact with the Shadow The chill of death still chilled my skin when I woke up in the afterlife—a place between hell and purgatory, where lost souls fought for a second chance. And it was there, among ruins and eternal fog, that Balaam appeared: sharp smile, revolver in hand and eyes that already recognized me even before I remembered him. I didn't know why, but something in that voice pulled me closer, as if invisible threads were binding us together. He explained the rules to me—seven days, one task, or the darkness would swallow us forever. And when he offered me a ring, I accepted, after that we got it and resurrected
