They were f**king real! Ella's already hazy mind seemed to inflate, and grow as her temples throbbed at this discovery. 'Why am I surprised? If vampires and werewolves can exist, then why can't mermaids?' At this thought, her pounding heart immediately settled. "Why is a human here? Are you trying to take shelter in our waters after your land went up in flames?" The beautiful mermaid swam around her in curiosity, her crystal blue orbs shinning like two-beams of sapphire light under the blue-green waves. "Well, speak!" She commanded. Ella raised a brow. She wasn't a fish. How was she supposed to speak underwater? Pointing helplessly at her mouth, she tried to sign her difficulty to the other woman. She must've gotten her meaning across as the mermaid's eyes lit up in realization. "Oh! I almost forgot you two legs can't breathe underwater." The dark blue scales on her forked tail rippled with the water. Ella's eyes couldn't move away from shimmery beauty. She felt an urge to t

Celio's eyes brightened at the mention of food. "Marcus, let's take them along. We won't be responsible for their lives." He whispered. "Don't lose your mind over food. Even if we don't take responsibility for their lives, they'll still drag us down with their numbers." Not to mention, the noise they make would attract unwanted trouble. Celio's rapidly beating heart slowed when he heard Marcus's words. Then he cursed under his breath and turned his head away in embarrassment. As a reborn individual, he couldn't even control his own emotions. Then how would he get his revenge? Marcus's expression was cold as stone, causing the group of regular humans to shudder and step back. They approached the group with the intention to secure a safe journey through the woods for themselves. And though they had food, they didn't dare to bring it with them in fear of getting robbed. As such, when they met the cold eyes of the group of five, they wondered if they would be murdered for food and felt

She had been wandering the woods ever since she escaped, lurking and preying on the frail creatures to sate her thirst. The thirst. It was insatiable. Always there, scorching her heart and setting her throat on fire. The crimson liquid would douse it for a while. But only a short while, and that too, when she was feasting. Then the moment she ran out, it would return with greater fury. Her heart no longer beat, and she no longer felt tired. She would walk for days and hunt for nights without experiencing the slightest discomfort. All would've been fine and well if it wasn't for the nagging urge to eat, eat, and eat. She knew her name. Naomi Miller. She knew she had a brother. Kaiden Miller. He loved her and spoiled her, giving her whatever she wanted without hesitation. She knew he was probably worried. Maybe even shocked silly by her transformation. She should go to him and ease his worries. She knew she should, but for all that was flesh and blood, she couldn't bring hersel

BOOK 2: The Superhuman Queen Chapter 1: Building A Fortress "Haha! That's payback!" Ella chuckled gleefully at the sound of the angry zombie's roar. Their last exchange severely affected her mental balance, to the point where she turned into a hermit. Other than going out to smash zombies and crash mutated plants and animals, she hadn't left her spatial space in a quest to reach level 4. Thankfully, she didn't need to find a healer for Radiance because of the spring water's healing ability. Her crane's mangled wing healed and became sturdier than before after a little splash with the water. "Now that I have a Lighting Manifestation Orb, I just need to consolidate my foundation. After a week, I'll consume the orb and aim to step into the fifth power level and awaken a lighting ability!" With this thought, Ella guided the crane back to the Stone Mansion. Swooping down in the front yard, she didn't wait for Radiance to land, before she hopped off her back and skipped into the mansion

"Footprints? They must be close..." Ella narrowed her eyes and looked around. The wood was dark. Too dark to make out anything beyond ten feet. After reaching level 4, her five senses became sharper. Even then, she had difficulty navigating through this wood. The eerie ambience added a sinister vibe to the place, making her unable to relax. "Da*n it! If I knew this place would be so perverse, I would've never come out to search for them." She couldn't even travel on Radiance due to how difficult it was to see from above. Cursing under her breath, she checked her guns, making sure they were fully loaded, before following the tracks. The further she entered the woods, the colder it became. Controlling her crimson-gold flame, Ella encased it around her body in a dome-like shield for warmth and precaution against sudden attacks. Fearful whimpers, enraged snarls, and hungry growls rang out from multiple directions. Ella sneered and kept walking. After mutation, some plants with early i
