Chapter One: The Haunted
The floor creaked eerily as they stepped on the floorboards of the house. Dried leaves littered the entrance, the following passage empty and silent like the graves. The front door swung, and Arlo jerked, pointing his MAC-114 at it. "Activate your UV visors." he ordered the team of six beside him. All of them dressed in the same black vest and trousers, all taped with kevlar. Their faces are covered in black masks. The team responded to his orders and they trooped in a uniformed and precise formation. The passageway as seen from the visors was empty and seemingly endless. The walls held different writings and palm prints. The languages were recorded by their visors and were being streamed live by the 'Sector.' A division of the United Nations Alliance Force (UNAF). Arlo got their call while he was in the hospital, keeping his sister company. It was supposed to be his leave. He'd just finished a mission about two weeks ago! His captain told him they needed him back on the job for on

Chapter Two: Pale Old Lady
Arlo couldn't understand it, it was something straight out of Aria's video games and shows. It had wings made of skin that seemed to be lined with talons at connected angles. Its face was like that of a devil's, exactly like the gargoyles from movies. Its hand contained talons that were fastened into the soldier's chest, its talons pierced through three levels of kevlar. "Holy!" Jake screamed and released a rain of bullets on the creature which didn't seem fazed, every other person stepped back, but the beast just kept on working forward. Arlo who seemed to understand their titanium piercing, self exploding, poison ejecting bullet from the MAC-114 won't work. He ran straight for one of the fires that lit the room and threw it at the monster, and he followed it with a grenade. His team dove off the ground and an explosion shook the room. The creature collapsed into cement. "What the hell was that?" "I think that was a Gargoyle!" Arlo said. His sister had always forced him to sit do

Chapter Three: Exclusive Contract
"That wasn't very nice," the lady said, still standing. He seemed to have imagined the thud. "I left you alive and saved you for last, so you will have last words privileges and this is how you treat me, with noise?" she said. "Look at your friends." she said as the door opened. He turned his head slowly. Jake and Nat were on the floor, dead. "So as I was saying. Let me try a poem of mine. I don't really. I am not good at it. Let's see!" She cleared her throat."I am the pale old lady that haunts your dreams,""Woven into a poem from your kin's awful dreams,"Cries were made from brooks and streams,"About I, the one who makes all scream,"Just as she finished her eyes glowed a deep green. She looked directly in his eyes and he screamed, as it was as if he was staring into the eyes of death itself. He felt his life crawl away and it was gonna be the end of him until a voice stopped the process.Arlo could make the image of a man and a ball like thingy. He was sure he could clearly h

Chapter Four: The Interface
Just as his drop of blood landed on the piece of paper a surge went through his system. The world closed down. Veins bulge from his body, he felt himself being drawn into a whirlpool. Pain attacked his nerves like a series of piercing needles. His heart bloated like it was going to explode, he felt his teeth were way more than thirty two. He held his chest and fell to the ground crouching in pain. He tore at his own face, tearing the skin off it. His body began to squirm like a worm was passing through his insides. He rolled on the floor, his body jerking unnaturally and his fingers were curled like a leper's. He felt his bones crack, till he couldn't contain the pain anymore and he let out a piercing scream that was followed by an explosion of his head. And silence became prominent. All noise died. He opened his eyes, and a large screen hung over the space right above his eyes. The screen held a blue color and a little information was written on it. It possessed the vibes he got f

Chapter Five: The Balmox
He was standing above two people, they were dead. The man was white haired, his wrinkled face still prominent even though he was covered in crimson. He turned to the woman and found her head a few centimeters away from her neck, she was facing sideways, her skin had already lost any luster it could have possessed. Somehow he knew they were his parents and he felt a knot of sadness in him. He held his abdomen and limped backwards, scanning his environment. His ear howled, allowing the sounds of him stepping on shards of glass in the scattered unlit room, seeming distant like the light of the stars. He collided with a piece of furniture and almost reeled backwards. He staggered and found his footing, just as he did, a bird fluttered past him and he fell back cause of shock and the pain in his abdomen tugged at him once more. He groaned and gasped. On the ground he fell towards, his hand felt a metallic piece and he traced it. It was a dagger, he held it in his hand. The thought of d

Chapter Six: Journey
The stench of smoke and blood made him cough as he trudged forward on the rocky terrain of his town; Vailand. The gash in his stomach had stopped stinging him thanks to the female warrior who saved his life; Tina. He would have tried talking to her, but all he could do was thank her before he passed out. He had been awoken by the other male warrior, a mean guy with a lightning scar across his nose. He had tried to gather his thoughts when Ag popped up again.He'd since then been fiddling with the system in his head. He acquired a reward of two ES that he'd later known to be Essence. This essence would help him improve his magical energy. He was a Order 0 Sorcerer and he was currently at level One. His level progress had increased to fifty percent after he improved it with the 2ES he was rewarded with. Ag had notified him that missions would be harder as they progressed. He was currently reading about his skills, Heaven's Winter and Hell's Wrath./Skill Library: Heaven's Winter: A sk

Chapter Seven: Freshman
After a while, he was led by one of them into one of the rows of houses and when he entered, he met a young blonde woman waiting for him, and a bed beside her. She extended her hands towards the bed. She held an almost seductive smile, her dress was a blue shirt tucked in a large long white skirt. Are you kidding? Carol's thought already swung, what sort of world is this? He thought. He complied, and laid down on the bed, his heart beating fast. He was already imagining lots of lewd imagery when the woman stuck a syringe right in his abdomen. He screamed, and before he knew it he was shrouded in darkness once again. Just moments before he passed out, he felt the only thing he has been doing for the past few days was pass out. He woke up in a different room, with one other person in the room with him. The person was on a bed beside him, they were flipping a book, cross legged and a pair of glasses placed carefully on their nose. They glanced up at him as he shrugged and stood up. "

Chapter Eight: School Library
He had only a minute left to complete the task, so he told Magus, who obliged with no questions, to run. He reached the class when the seconds were at the dot of 5. He exhaled as Ag's Message popped up. /Side Task: Completed Reward: 5MP received Total MP: 10 Complete more side task to earn mps/He caught his breath for a while before walking towards the two vacant seats at the far end of the class. Magus walked smiling at everyone, eagerly greeting the students, and for some reason, none of them answered. They seemed to want to keep as much distance from him as possible. Coral shrugged, he glanced back towards Magus and in that second noticed someone's leg stretched out fast enough that Magus would collide with it. He held him back just mere moments before he collided with the leg. The owner of the leg, a blonde fair guy with a pair of glasses, looked up angrily."Everyone," h

Chapter Nine: Logged Artifact
Panic ensued immediately after that. Coral forgot about hunger as the logged relic turned on him. He ran. The relic seemed to find this amusing as an eerie laughter escaped from it. Then it followed Coral."Oh shit!" he screamed. "Don't follow me. Don't you. I am new here idiot.""Toidi ereh wen ma I. Uoy tond. em wollof tond." he replied. "Tihs ho!" and it laughed. The librarian was screaming nonstop as Coral jumped off a table and the shadow just walked right through it whispering something that made Coral lose control and land on the ground."Ih, woh era ouy!"Coral screamed. "I DON'T SPEAK SHADOW!" he rolled off the ground and removed his dagger from thin air. A feat he didn't know how he pulled. He will worry about that later."Get down," a voice came from the door.Coral dove off the ground and all he heard was a boom!

Chapter Ten: Let there be light
Coral charged immediately, ignoring her question. He lunged at the solidifying mass of blackness that was turning human with every ticking second. He extended his arm, pointing the dagger forward, he struck! His knife, striking a surface with full force. Alas! It wasn't the surface he wanted to strike, no, the knife went straight through as if it had ignored the existence of the shadow, as if it had forgotten it. Its tip was caught on the wooden desk, Coral's arm in the body of the shadow. "Em truh t'nac uoy," It said. "human turning from,me stop you can neither,"Coral paused after he retracted his hand, this silly shadow just said actual words, he turned to the librarian and found that she was already almost all black. "Oh. Holy!" he gasped, the lady was starting to turn illusory. ∆And it shall come to pass that the soul of Lyris shall answer my call and bend to my authority.∆ the thick girl who seemed to have snapped out of the forgetfulness chanted.Just as she did the whole ha
