Closure(1)Looking at the smug smile on the so-called God's face, Jacob's lips twitched; the goofy old man looked more like a stalker than an Ancient God. "How did you know all that??", Jacob asked, as the old man only chuckled harder, caressing his beard."Nothing is hidden in the eyes of this God", the man proclaimed, hitting his chest in pride. "But, there is something strange about you though, there is another entity inside you. I couldn't see through it, which is very strange....I could only block it's observation", Nogret said, squinting his eyes as he stared hard at Jacob.'That must be the system!!. Nogret's tampering with it's observation must have been why I couldn't get a response from it', Jacob thought. "I would advice you to be careful though; although that entity seems to make you grow stronger quickly, it also seems to be drawing on your bloodline. After all, a known Demon is better than an unknown Angel", Nogret advised, to which Jacob nodded, even if he didn't und

Closure(3)Exiting the Cemetery, he enlarged the newly generated map in front of him, as he headed towards the one marked closest to him.°°°°°°Following the map, he arrived at a corner in the city, a very busy one. Since it was dark, people had started going through their unlawful businesses, as Jacob passed by a dark alley where he could hear people exchanging blows. He was not one to interfere though, it was none of his business. The map led him to the red light district of the city, as he passed by many brothels. The map began blinking erratically when he approached a particular building, and he knew he had hit jackpot.It was a casino though, as he saw two hefty men at the entrance, requesting for something before they allowed entrance.Wondering whether he should use his Shadow skills or just barge through, he looked on as a man was tossed out of the casino, as a burly middle aged man emerged by the door, presumably, he was the one that tossed the other man."Manager", the two

Natalia(1)The map led Jacob to a rather luxurious part of the city, to a hotel to be precise. Jacob only had to wait around for a while before he got what he was looking for; an opportunity to enter the hotel. Slinking into the shadow of an hotel guest, he managed to enter the hotel without being seen. He could have used the {Shadow Conceal} skill, but it required shadows to work properly, and the hotel was even brighter than how it usually was during the day!!. So he had to wait for someone to enter, as a person always carried their shadow with them.Entering the hotel, he kept hopping into people's shadow, both hotel employees and guest, till he reached his destination; Room 199. Exiting the shadow of the hotel cleaner, he slid inside the room through the gap under the door, which thankfully was dark, the only source of light in the room being a single red light bulb.The darkness could not inhibit Jacob's vision though, as his Shadow Element granted him night vision, although he c

Closure(5)Shifting his gaze towards the bathroom, Jacob waved his hand again, as the bathroom door opened, a man in towels tumbling out."Arrrrrrrghhh, I will kill you, you son of a.....Wait, where did that little sl*t go??".His lips twitching, Jacob marvelled at the man's colourful vocabulary. Seeing Jacob standing by the door, Noir figured that Jacob must have let the girl out. What kind of a hotel would allow strangers into an occupied room anyway....He had to find a way to exploit them, and even maybe sue them after dealing with this kid."You don't know what you just did, Who the hell are you and where is the Goddamn girl??", Noir yelled as he quickly tapped around the bed for something. Finding it, he cocked his gun as he pointed it at Jacob, a derisive smirk playing on his features. This scene brought a lot of memories to Jacob, as a sense of Deja Vu washed over him....Except this time, the outcome would be different. "You know what??, you look pretty yourself, I would hav

Final Closure Looking at the dizzying 200 meters below him, Paul swallowed in fear; he had to tell the truth!, the kid in front of him suddenly didn't seem like a kid anymore."What do you want to know??", Paul asked, as Jacob only stared at him; he wasn't going to repeat himself again."(Sigh), Sebastian was truly a great colleague, the type that comes into the office and hands out coffee to everyone. The only thing that I didn't like about him was, no matter how care free he was, he was also really hardworking. I found out that the company was planning to promote one from the both of us, and I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me who was going to get the promotion. So, I did what any sane bussinessman would do, take out the opposition", by the time Paul finished his confession, his voice had gotten more and more strained, as Jacob tightened his grip."Hey man, what the hell. You've gotten the confession you want, let me go", Paul yelled, flailing his legs about. He even secretly wo
