A lady, plump with a pink gown and a black waist belt phased into existence. She had her hands gloved, her gown was only but sleeveless and she had a wide brimmed hat to cover her head.

She had a robust face, a little smile playing at her lips which vanished the moment she set eyes on the environment about. She squeezed her nose in disgust, reacting to the pungent smell of blood and dismembered flesh that was all about. Bile rose in her throat, making her just seem to puke except that she quickly put her hand to cover her mouth.

She remained still, her pink shoes, getting sodden and wet with the blood on the ground.

"Disgusting. This is how far Morgana has gone." She sneered.

Looking forward, she coughed, covering her mouth still as she watched the pieces of the gown that Morgana had on floating about in the air. Morgana was nowhere to be found.

And right where she was supposed to be, a demon like figure stood. Or rather, dropped to his knees, his body weak and drained even as the black markings began to retract to his left hand almost immediately.

She frowned, watching this silently and still. This was strange. there was no doubt that the one who was before her was a system holder. But then again, how could he be standing when the cream of the top system holders prized by the System bureau where all torn to shred?

Had something gone wrong with Morgana or did she allow herself to get beaten deliberately by this person. No matter, she was curious, Morgana was not one to play along for whatever reason. it would be illogical of her to think that Morgana had played along with this demonic human.

She was Beatrice, one of the top System Holders at the Bureau. Her function in the bureau was that of a scout. And for her to excel wonderfully, she had to develop the adept skill of logical reasoning. She was skilled at putting two plus tow together, such that even in the tightest of situations, she always had a way to come up on top.

The only situation that had bested her now, was the situation of Morgana. That old witch was still as strong as the legends claimed. Beatrice Cursed and as a result, she had been put in the back lines as the system bureau were unwilling to lose one of their most versatile agents due to the type of skill she possessed.

Her system, unique, as were the others had the generic ability of Space Cloning. She could make replicas of herself, make clones of others and whatnot. And the most interesting of that was that some, if not all of her clones had the ability to create wormholes through which they defied space and distance in the blink of an eye.

If you wanted to get to the North pole in a heart beat, call for Beatrices' clone. That was the amazing part. Beatrice did not even need to be present for her clones to work. And yet, she still had knowledge of everything the clones did and all hat went on as if she as there in person.

She could also control her clones on multiple fronts in combat. But she could not exactly be that efficient with that. The major reason why she ad been put to the back. She was more suited for rescue and swift capture than face to face combat.

Now that the battle had ben abated, the System Master had sought her again, calling for her to extract everyone from the scene of the battle, the moment news had reached that the battle had been abated.

She had come promptly, only to be sickened by the sight of everything. And even more, she witnessed the sight o a demon slowly reverting back to a boy.

'Demon?' There was no system that had that attribute.

How could it be? Was he even to be classified as a system holder?

No matter, she shook her head, she had work to do. There was no doubt that this person had been fundamental to the still and calm she was enjoying now. This meant that even if he was a demon, she would still need to report him to the grandmaster to hear what he had to say about him.

It was that simple.

Beatrice closed her yes for the fraction of a second, activating her system interface skill. She blinked and in a flash, multiple versions of diverged out of her body, each of them sprinting away and grabbing hold of the bodies of the system holders, whether dead or alive.

The main Beatrice sighed. She had expended a lot of energy to release an infinite number of clones about. And she did that because she did not have an idea of how far and how many casualties were there. So to be truly thorough, she had released a burst of an infinite number out of her.

It was draining though. But she was not complaining. She was one of the high skilled System Holders and so, this ought to be easy for her.

She simply walked all the way to where the boy in the tattered shorts, bare chested stood, her eyes blinking again. She lowered down and reached for the back of his neck, grabbing him while resisting the urge to puke even as eh used the other hand to hold her nose.

"Smells like shit." She muttered, blinking as a portal of wisping light appeared before her and she walked through, a disgusted look on her face

She may be a High Level System Bureau scouter but yet, in all her years of experiences, she had never come across a scene as gory as this. It was with great luck that this was not how it ended, else, it might just have spelt the end of all humanity.

However, the fact that one boy, a demon morphing boy or whatever he was, was the one who put a stop to Morgana seemed to disturb her greatly. She mused within herself that the rest of the Bureau would find a way to uncover the mystery behind this person and then, she would be satisfied. But until then, all she could do was to get her catch to the Bureau.

If there was still a bureau to return to, that is.

The air shimmered and Beatrice walked out of thin air, utilizing tbhe powers of her Space Clone system attribute. Now, she had simply just waltzed through several distances into the hidden and secret lair of the System Bureau.

Walking right into the center room, she heaved, noting the dim atmosphere that was all about. She sniffed, knowing that the dim airs was not just as a result of the low lighting in the room but also as  result of the darkened moods and pensive thoughts of all those in it.

The Center Room was an important part of the System Bureau. It was where their most challenging decisions were weighed and wieghted by the stakeholders, that is the most important and powerful system holders. It was not usually used because for most of their deliberations were ran singlehandedly by Monsieur Demas, a French  Man who held a particular system.

He could control time.

"I take it that Morgana is now of history, Beatrice, confirmed?' Monsieur Demas's vice reached to her.

he came walking in, from her left hand side, making her turn around to see him even as she dropped the body to the ground.

Demas had a flowing blue gown on, but with a brown colored fur collar and two silver chains to hold them together by his neck. Demas looked down at the body, his face emanciated and outlined by huge white beards, frowning.

"And this is... " He muttered. "The one who defeated her. Strange, i cant detect any attribute from him. How come?" He looked up.

Beatrice sighed, using her left hand to tilt her hat now even as she slightly bowed.

"That is hard for me to say. I cannot understand it too. But what i saw... This person is a demon. Either that or his system has devolved that badly into becoming a personification of pure evil." She heaved now.

"Yet, he is the only one who could lay a hit on Morgana. Interesting." Another voice resounded, coming from opposite Beatrice.

"Dayo!" Monsieur Demas muttered, smiling at the voice.

Beatrice scowled, looking towards the source of the voice even as she folded her bloodied hands across her chest. She shook her head now, grumbling inaudible words.

"That does not make sense. If a demon could lay a hit on morgana, should we not be scared of the demon itself?" The air shimmered and a man wearing black shirt and trousers alongside a black pair of shoes muttered, his hand cupping the edge of his jaws.

"Why should we trust the fate of the world into the hands of a demon? I say, we kill him while we can!"

Would it not be better to have...""To have the one person who destroyed her earlier to be with us, ready for another counter against her the moments she sets out again?" The one with the googles said now."What are you saying? Keeping a demon around is worse than having Morgana!" Dayo yelled out, frowning deeper."That is true." Beatrice agreed, looking up now to the face of Demas."But it is logical. Demon or not, he is the only one who could land a hit on Morgana. Should that not be the positive point we should all be considering?" The female sounded off, teh one who looked African by origin."If it so disturbs you all, then I have a proposal. But only you can grant it, Monsieur Demas." The one with the googles said, standing to his feet.Once he stood still, he stretched his hand

    The black SUV hummed across the length of the black tarred road as towering buildings swept past its side of the road. It was a cold day, one of those days when the mister who was driving the car did not wish to be out here. The heater in the car was working fine, but it seemed as though it was working all too fine. The driver and husband could not blame it though, he was in the car with his wife who was by his side and his son in the car, it was bound to be like this. His wife had been getting on his nerves, telling him how much he had not been paying attention to the wellbeing of his son, even though he knew that the did just everything possible for the whole family. Or would they have preferred he did nothing and just had to be stopping by for everything family related while his business suffered on the side? It was preposterous. Did his wife forget what that without money, one could not run a home? In fact, without money there was no possibility of love. Who was the person that

The series of events that occurred of late had not left him for the better and he had not known how to cope with it.It was a miracle he was still alive, that he had been told. The car had gone up in flames the moment it went airborne but yet he was still here. of course, he had not gone all scot free from the accident. He had gotten some burns, minor but that was it.After he had gotten treatment, the news had been broken down to him.His parents had not survived the incident. In fact when thy had been rescued, the parents had all been burnt beyond recognition. Strange enough, Lekan did not know how to feel about it. Maybe because he felt like all of these had happened before or maybe it was because of the fact that his parents had been the one arguing in the car right before the accident, all because

There is a black steel TV stand but instead of having a Tv on it, it has an extension box, a DVD player on the second layer of it and two speakers of a home theatre by the side of it. There are a few connections to the extension, all of which makes a little tangle of wires, some of which run to the Tv and some to the other gadgets that re all about, including a phone, a bluetooth wireless earphone pod and a headset while a black power bank is attached to a power cord and is placed on the grou

    The words of Mr Awopegba did not make sense. It did not matter how he looked at it, there was no justification for that. Why would his father, after making sure he had no direct touch with the inheritances because of a certain guardian and some legal age clause, now leave for him a piece of ring? Some ring that he could fucking buy himself? And on top of that, the ring was not even pretty. It was not exactly the type he could take out and say, hey, my dad willed this over to him. It was pretty much thrash, just like something you picked on the wayside because it happened to catch your fancy. But not really because you need to. You just pick it up and then throw it away once you're done examining it. That was just how the ring struck him. "You are serious?" Lekan asked the lawyer, holding the box in his left hand while holding out the ring to the air. "This is what my father gave to me? This is not some kind of joke, is it?" He asked, looking from Uncle Desmond to Mr Awopegba who

    KNOCK... KNOCK... Series of raps resonated on the brown wooden door which was painted cream in color. The raps sounded hurriedly with each passing second. Much to the anger of the one who squeezed himself just against the door. It was Lekan and this was his room. But right now, he was not by himself. He had the ring which the Lawyer had claimed his father had willed to him seated on top of the envelope, just by his right hand side. He wore a wine sleeveless top, blue and purple spotted socks while having black combat shorts on his lower half. Lekan looked disheveled. Tear lines pasted over his face, revealing how much he’d been crying of late. And also revealing that he was not one to care about his hygiene. He barely had a bath ever since the time the lawyer had come down here. And today, like all the days which elapsed since then, his Uncle was at the door, knocking. Today, the knocks had come in a bit different. Rushed, with the brooding sensation that it was not the normal th

    And as it did, the whole space about him flickered, rewarded by a gasp from Lekan's mouth and a widening of his eyes.Startled, Lekan drew back, his eyes wide as he began to breath rather rapidly, panic beginning to surge through his whole body. He placed his hands against the wooden surface of the door, trying to feel for anything... just anything that could make him feel a bit more confident that he found something. But he found nothing, much to the increment of his worry and panic.His chest heaved quickly, his breaths becoming ragged and rapid with each passing second. Adrenaline pumped into his body as he scrambled his legs seeing as the room, his bedroom began to get eaten up by the strange reality creeping into his space."No... no, what is this?" Lekan gasped, blinking his eyes now. "What is this... aaaghh!"He groaned, bending his head and shaking it slowly and painfully as he gritted his teeth. As he groaned out, he could not help shake the feeling of familiarity that soared

    His vision was not like this. The future had changed. Lekan realized that now as he stood with the Mana blockers in tow. He locked eyes with Blesing who continued with her spell, unbothered by the fact that he was hee. And the strange creature of a woman that he had grown to be familiar with, in the red flowing gowns seemed to be urging her on. Whatever Blessing was doing, the woman in the red flowing gown seemed to need it quite urgently. He could not shake off the bad feeling about it. And the sensation that's why was his opponent. The feeling that he had had to fight her in a distant future. A future which a snow repeating itself for him, His vision waived now. The things he saw changed in a blink.

They deliberated one thing about him and how to ensure that the timeline changed. {See the prologue} It felt very familiar to him. And this time, Lekan could not deny that this happened. Understand

    Lekan got out of the building. Frost things first, he would get to make sure that blessing was alright, then he would make sure that the Bureau was set right. He did not want to run. Not away from it. He had been running for far too long and look what that led him to? What if as I ran away, more things started to happen to innocent people? People like Keder, the Bureau stealing her life and youth from her. The anger started to boil in him that he did not know when he started to run towards Blessing. The latter continued her spell as more and more mana started getting sucked into it. ‘ Just then, two people landed down from a building. One Of them having purple tattoos on her back faded off into nothingness. While the other one pumped his legs towards Lekan. Itw as Frank and Lekan. In no time, Frank caught up with Lekan and with strong hands, he hoisted him from behind. “What?” Lekan gasped out. His arms locked up from behind his back.. By the time he turned backwards, he

    Just like it started, in the suddenness of the day, it ended. Relief swept across the ranks of the system bureau in one accord. They could all sit back and take in gasps of air. They had one priority while trying to ascertain what they were up against. They Had one thing which they had to do. And thaw was what they carried out all diligently. The safety of those who weep with them. THose who did not know what it meant to be system holders as they could not effectively fight back. Those who needed to be helped just because they did not have a system to start with. This was the priority of the higher ups in the actions. Only fighting back when they had no chance. All hope had been cast on monsieur Dayo and the actions he had been doing at the Research Facility. The research which had kept him busy back then, the same thing which had made him invulnerable to any threat which came from the council towards his being. It was in this moment that he would prove his mettle and hsi wor

    She saw him. This was not like the threat that they had just faced down but it was still a threat for them. She glinted in anger as she started to run now. Ignoring the call of the other girls as they realized that the other demon had vanished as well. Thai was not their fight, at least, until they received further instructions from Monsieur Dayo on what to do next. His body scaled through the broken down side of the walling of the class snow. With her body still in drive now, she drove her hands to the stomach part of the demon. With quick succession ,she dealt multiple mana blocking blows there and then. The diamond screeched and the result was concluded immediately. It fell down with a thump as it revealed her to the people in the classroom now. And to the one she was looking to see. ‘Lekan!” Blessing called out with excitement in her face. “Blessing?” Lekan turned around with surprise in his eyes. He was hardly taken aback with many things. He knew that something would

    Earlier on…. When he got the summon from Monsieur Demas, Dayo knew it was pretty serious. It wasn't something to be taken lightly. Especially when they had just crossed a milestone now. The unveiling of the Bureau would just be out there. This would be a major setback, if they did not handle it well. And so, he let go of the grudge he had with Monsieur Demas. After all, beyond their conflict and personal interest, they still had a duty to the System Bureau. They had to fly its flag and answer the summons against anything which was out there to bring it devastation and destruction. And this summon was just one of them. He braced for combat., literally. Donning his costume as what they knew of him as The Switch. He had to be ready for just anything and that included what he wore. This time, things would be different, Msnier Dayo said to himself even as they poured into the System Bureau. They would not have to depend on him alone in the combat of whatever they had to face.

    His words brought courage to all of them. Even Lekan himself could not help but feel fired over the words that he spoke. Perhaps, now, the perspective n of Donald by the people of his special class would change now. Change for the better, no doubt. The demon lady is frustrated. She shook her head, stomping her legs as her four arms slapped down on her waist now. “ Oh No! I hate this. Don't you play tricks o0n me>” he growled out as the decoy which she held in her hands now faded into nothingness. It was not the prey she wanted. And it infuriated her. “wEe need space.” Donald mentioned now. “Helen, your turn.” he called out. Immediately Helens dropped down to the ground. She slapped her hands flat out on the floor and then with a chant, her eyes went dark. All blacked out. “Shadow domain.” Dark circles appeared on the ground. They grew instantly with the demon lady with in the center of it now. The circles expanded instantly, merging into one gigantic black shimmering cir

    The moment he got to know about the invasion of demons in this place; the first thing he did was to find a way to reach Leslie. He pretty much was trying to find his way about things in this place. And the only one who had shown the willingness to show his way around was none other than Leslie. Frank heaved as he held his right arm. It has healed over the time since the last time he had to get physical with anybody. And thankfully, there had been no cause for him to get involved with any fight. That is, he assumed Lee Min must have learnt his humility and then stayed to himself afterwards. He smiled to himself over this thought now. In the time past, he never did see himself as someone who would have to avenge anybody but now, it was becoming sort of his motto. Not like he was complaining about it. After all, the responsibilities of a King were numerous. And he had to exact them with the proper justice that was needed for each situation he found himself in. “What do we do?” HE

    Power in the hands of chaotic beings is just a lower sample of hell. The demons surged about, numerous in their numbers as they screeched and roared. The unlucky humans who got up in their paths were gobbled up, eaten and then regurgitated as pieces of bones and blood. Fear gripped the ranks of the Bureau. In all their times of weidling systems, they never did expect to run into something like this. It has always been about fighting humans. Humans who would go against the way of things of the Bureau. Those who would flaunt the order of things. Those who would would want to thwart the general agenda of the Bureau. Never about things of this proportion. Never about misshapen beings that looked like a hybrid of several creatures. Black with wings, baleful eyes of red with poor patchwork of muscles over long bones for the ones who walked. Those ones measured several meters high, even as much as 8ft tall. The ones who flew were the smaller ones. Having the likelihood to apes, flying

    Helen sighed, patting the black crop top she had on. The action brought focus to her belly button,the size of a water drop, externally. . It was slightly larger than normal. A phenomenon which was referred to as ‘dodo’ by his country's people. Oftentimes it was used as a term for light hearted mockery. But sighting it on her, the confidence at which she exuded even with it being exposed, it triggered him sexually. He loved her personality. The way she carried herself even though she knew she was not the best. But still had some air of confidence, as well as a bit of empathy. The fact that instead of leaving outrightly with him, she stayed behind to let him clear his head was lovable. Unlike someone who knew. The person of Lady Beatrice. She cared very less whether you’re anted to be teleported or not. As long as she had you in mind to transport, that was what she carried out. Consent or not. “You.” A raspy voice sounded now. It had a tone that spoke of humor and at the same time m
