The cawing and flapping of the wings of crows and vultures shouted in the dark night. Thick fog blanketed the top of a mountain of open dumping waste that was as dark as a shadow. The night birds scavenged through the piles of trash and the carcasses of wild animals trapped there. Their beaks keep pecking at whatever they can eat. Occasionally a herd of mice ran to save themselves from the stalking of the owls that flew silently. The nocturnal birds' delight in scavenging through mountains of trash is soon shattered when a truck approaches. Birds scatter into the sky with resounding flaps of their wings. The rodents sneak into the pits of the waste mixed with stale lye. The taillights of the truck glowed red. The sound sensor beeps loudly when walking backward to find the way. The tailgate of the dull brown trash truck, already rusty in many parts, slowly started to lift up. The back door was wide open. Gravity makes an entire load of garbage in the tub sag out. Among the trash thro

Something hurtled towards Eryk's head. It stretched like a long, flexible whip, but its slashes were as painful as swords.Slap!Eryk dodged a little too late. The tip of the whip scraped his cheek until it bled. After hitting his cheek, the whip made of plant vines was again drawn into the palm of a person standing covering the end of the alley.A beautiful girl with waist-length black hair wearing a red qipao (Chinese dress) modified to be more casual and slightly open at the chest blocked Eryk's steps. The pounding of her knee boots made Eryk tremble slightly.The girl stood with her hands clasped on her waist. Between her body twisted several tendrils of green plants with leaves, each leaf has an eye. The plant tendrils seemed alive and stuck all over the girl's body, loosely coiled and moving.Eryk needed to see the proper form of the plant vines wrapped around the girl's body. He thought the dozens of eyes that might attack him in the darkness were beasts. But those are the eyes

When Eryk stepped onto one of the roofs of the next building, he didn't pay much attention because it was dark. Someone suddenly hit him with a baseball bat, causing Eryk to fall.White flew above him without a sound. He could only see Eryk rolling on the roof of the building. Footsteps were rushing up the fire escape not far from where Eryk fell.The sound of the footsteps made Eryk immediately alert. When he tried to get up, a group of men dressed in all black came after him.Eryk struggled to swing his legs to stand up and run. However, his toes felt sunk in the holes in his shoes. Something was blocking Eryk's movement. He became stiff and not as flexible as usual.The place where he stood was sheltered by the shadow. However, he could see through the streaks of light from the surrounding buildings. Several men lined up near the wall and surrounded it. They were all dressed in all black and wearing black masks.Eryk couldn't recognize them—boys or girls, Eryk didn't know. None of

The sound of an emergency alarm and a police car siren blared simultaneously, making Eryk's head feel like it was going to explode. Suddenly he forgot how to get out of there because he panicked and was confused.Eryk's hands and clothes were covered in his uncle's blood. He ran towards the door, but some people with galloping footsteps came closer. Erick backed away in fright. He looked the other way and saw a white curtain swinging like a pale ghost. Eryk pushed aside the curtains and found the door leading to the balcony slightly ajar.Eryk opened the sliding glass door wider. The wind immediately hit his body. He heard a noise from the balcony. When he stepped outside, Eryk caught someone just jumping from there."Who is that?" thought Eric.Just as he was preparing to jump from the second floor and hunt down the person who had just escaped, he heard the door to his uncle's study open with a bang. Several bodyguards were standing there with guns and radios in their hands. Eryk cou

Eryk rolled to the side to avoid the attack of a windstorm fired by a man in the red coat. The wind storm hit one of the walls of the building, making it crack.Eryk's heart beat fast. If he is late in avoiding, maybe his life won't be helped for the second time."You can't run away from me. Submit your summon spirit!""I'm not a summoner!" shouted Eryk. "I don't have any summon spirit."In the second attack, Eryk can avoid it even faster. The corner of his eyes caught something familiar to the man in the red coat. When his sleeves were injected, Eryk saw a tattoo there. The tattoo image is the same as the carving of a man in black in his dream.A dragon without a tail!The man in the red coat does not like failure. He became angry and began to exert his bigger strength. Both hands began to create a stronger vortex, manifesting black clouds above his head. It felt like the storm would come right away from the man's hands.Eryk can't fight him. He cannot protect himself even he's weapo
