[April 2022]I walked into the half-dark neon light room. There was a long table with three seats on each side. The room was so dark that I couldn't even see myself, let alone the other occupants. I took the only seat available and sat down.I knew why I was here, but they felt I was simply too immature and weak for this mission. I'm the leader of a small mercenary group. Although our number is something is to laugh at, but everyone of us is an elite amongst elites. We have taken way more dangerous mission than any mercenary group in the country.Flanked on my sides were high ranking men and women dressed in dark suits. I had been called to handle a few problem for them.“The Somalia militia are planning to send in reinforcements, we need you to infiltrate their ranks and incapacitate them.” a voice said.I couldn't see their faces but it didn't matter, all that mattered to me was the mission which I knew was going to change a lot of things about me.“The Americans will provide you wi

Confession[28th December 2024.]This was the big day. Today's the day my soulmate and I become officially a couple. I couldn't be more happier. I went to the wardrobe and brought out the Italian suit which I had bought just for this day.“Max, dress up, everyone's ready except you.” My Mom shouted from the balcony.“I'll be through soon Mom.” I shoved my excitement aside and wore the suit, combed my hair, and rushed off to the balcony.“Are the cars ready?” I asked Mom.“Keep smiling like that and our soon to be inlaws will think you have a facial disease.” my Mother berated me with a smile plastered on her face.“My boy is finally becoming a man.” she squealed as she cupped my face. Mom was dressed in a silk-satin sky blue evening gown, with a V neckline. This dress code was brought by a very good friend of mine, Queen Esther. “You look gorgeous Mom.” I said, while she blushed.“Stop making this old lady feel young.” she said while smiling.“Hurry up y'all, we're gonna be late.” Er

*Ratatatata!!**Click click Boom!!*AKs and shotguns kept going off, but they had little or no effect against me. I cleaved the policemen like they were pieces of paper. I was about to head off to the detention room when my danger sense tingled, I sidestepped and placed my back against the wall.*Ratatatata!!* A cop with an Ak blasted the place I previously stood. I spun around and threw a shokuren (ninja star) at him.*Puuok* a bullseye, right on the forehead.“Now these pests have been taken care of, let's go see our prey.” I said as I leisurely strolled towards the detention room.As I got there, I could sense more than one lifeforce, and I could also smell gunpowder, lots of it, and fear. I smiled, it seems not all the pests have been taken care of. I took out three shokuren, held it on my left hand, while my katana on the right hand. I smashed the door down and threw the three shokuren forward while I did a cartwheel to dodge the bullet rain. The shokuren struck a cop on the fore

The Squad“You should leave before someone comes in” I said to the frightened girl. I sighed and then chose to leave the office. She grabbed my arm as I began walking past her. I turned around and stared at her with stern eyes.“Please take me with you. I want to be just like you” she said with sparkly eyes. Okay, that wasn't exactly what I was expecting to hear from her when she grabbed my arm. “You are a murderer, you will pay for your crime.” Yeah sure. “Wait till the police arrive, you can't just leave.” Yeah sure. But the phrase “Please take me with you” and “I want to be just like you” never crossed my mind. My heart softened a bit as I could vaguely guess what she's been through at the hands of school lecturers to harden her heart this way. Sadly I don't think my path is the one she should follow. What she needs is genuine love and care, not blood and knives.“Sorry to bust your bubbles, but I can't” I replied and tried to shake off her hand from my arm, surprisingly it didn't b

Bloodthirsty DemonEvery villain has that moment when they lose themselves in the bloodlust and vengefulness. They unknowingly become monsters. It may have all started as a simple revenge, but then it drifted off-road along the way, then comes the massive slaughter. Sure every villain lose themselves, but not me. The madness is clear as crystal. Right from the moment I stepped foot on the path of vengeance, I already had plans to unleash the demon wolf that's been suppressed in me. But to do that, I need the souls of a thousand humans who died by my vengeful hands. Cruel, right? But the funny thing is I don't feel pity for these hypocrites, especially these crooks who claim to be apostles of justice, and most of all, the nine preys and my mate who betrayed me. I could feel rage rising within me, I could feel my breath becoming hotter than lava, I could see the darkness seeping through my body, I could literally see the darkness creeping out and weaving around like tiny snakes.“Humani
