Drip. Drip. Drip. The sound of sneakers colliding against wet mushy grass echoed in the silence of the night as Jason stood before the gigantic gates of the Chris Manor. Currently the large gate was left ajar. Lying a few feets away was a corpse who Jason identified as one of the Manor's Security Guards. "What the hell?!" an ominous feeling couldn't help but creep into Jason's heart as he sped towards the large Manor Building. Along the way, he ran past more than ten corpses carelessly laying around. However Jason was too worried about his parents condition to pay the corpses any heed. "Mum! Dad!" Aiden cried with hints of dread as he hurriedly pushed open the Manor Entrance door. Looking over, his face became ashen when he spotted a corpse at the foot of the staircase. It was the corpse of the Manor's Head Maid. "No!" Jason's lips trembled. Miss Nicholas. She was his Nanny and also his wet nurse when he was a little baby. She was like a second mother figure to him. Yet here

"Why did we stop?" Jason was forced to close the system panel screen when he noticed the vehicle come to an abrupt halt."We are just going to grab some stuffs. Till then make sure you wait in the car. Whatever you do don't step out alright?" Aletta warned Jason sternly as she got down from the car.The car was currently parked in the parking lot of a convinence store."Hm" Jason merely hummed."Let's go " Stephen gave Jason one long look before leaving the car as well. Jason watched silently as both siblings made their way into the convinence store. It was currently late noon and the inflow of customers was very high. As such both Siblings were instantly drowned amongst the large crowd of people making their way in and out of the store.Only after Jason had confirmed their departure did a sly grin grace his lips. Opening his palm, a strange object suddenly materialized, landing on his palm.It was a pair of crimson colored pupil lenses . This was one of the three items of the starter

After putting on the Sprite Pupils, Jason's vision experienced a change. His view of the whole world went red and the X-ray vision effect kicked in. However apart from that, Jason was now able to see the Malevolent's invisible body clearly. "My left" stomping heavily on the ground, he lurched to his right, dodging an incoming bike that smashed against the wall behind him. Leveraging on the Sprite Pupils, Jason discovered that the crimson halo encasing the Malevolent suddenly transform into multiple tentacle like serpents that lunged towards him. Their movement was so fast that before Jason could have any thoughts of escaping, they had already arrived before him. Smack! However to Jason's puzzlement, he didn't feel any sharp stinging pain. Instead he felt an invisible but heavy force smash against his chest, throwing him against the wall. "Koff. Koff" wiping off the blood trickling out from his mouth, he side rolled just in time to escape another crimson tentacle from the Malevol

—[TITLE CARD: A NIGHT AGO] "Double Kill!" "Headshot! Bravo!" The sound of an electronic announcement followed by loud gunshots rang out as two male teenagers sat before a plasma TV, their fingers clenched tightly around the game pad they were holding. The room they were currently occupying was dimly lit and littered with snack wraps and dirty clothes. It was the total definition of a messy hygiene. "Dude. What's up with you huh? your Kill rate is less than normal" one of the teens sneaked a glance at his companion. He sported a head full of copper colored hair and appeared chubby. As for his companion, he had a slender build with a wavy cut sleek black hair. Ignoring the question, the black haired teen sneaked a glance at his phone resting on the nearby stool. His jaws clenched nervously. "Dude" his companion caught his body movement. "Don't tell me you are seriously waiting for that phone call from your mum?" he chuckled, his tone laced with mockery and amusement. "I mean,

"Are teenage boys always this lazy?" Aletta held her nose as she stood in front of an old looking bungalow, whose lawn had already transformed into a thick bush of green that was threatening to swallow it up A few distance away, a large swat of flies happily danced around ten filled up garbage sacks oozing with nauseating goo. Forget Aletta, even Jason and Stephen were scrunching up their noses as well. "Do we really have to come here?" Jason rubbed his stomach with an ashen expression. He was starting to regret eating breakfast. First it was that corpse at the cemetery, now this garbage dump of a house! "Sorry Princess, but this is in the job description. You want to be a Mystique Hunter like I and my sister? get used to it!" Patting Jason on the shoulder, Stephen arrived at the porch of the bungalow, landing two successive knocks on the slowly rotting wooden door. Creeerak! Like the slow whining of an old lady, the door slowly slid open leaving just a small gap that allowe
