Jackson stood atop a building with six floors watching the empty street below. It was now night and everyone had gone to bed, leaving the street devoid of people. If not for the chilly wind and owls which kept hooting, Jackson would have thought he was the only thing existing in this place right now.

"I told you to go to Crimson Springs Museum," a voice suddenly said within his head. "It has all kinds of artefacts—"

"I thought I told you that I've changed," Jackson said, narrowing his eyes as he kept on looking down the street.

"If you've changed then why do you want to rob a gang?" the voice asked again with a touch of mockery in his voice.

"Uriel, you just said it," Jackson said. "I'm trying to rob a gang."

At that moment Uriel clicked his tongue within Jackson's head as he said, "It would be boring. Don't you remember the time when you went to still that item with the Boneless essence from the museum?"

"I already told you," Jackson said. "I've changed and can't do those bad things

    After picking up the box Jackson heard sirens coming from the distance and decided it was time he left. He didn't want the cops meeting him here at the 'crime' scene. He might have taken down these criminals but that didn't mean that he would be able to also defeat the cops when they would arrive to apprehend him. What if there were Special Cops among them and they were all higher than his Cursed path?"We need to get out of here real quick, Uriel," Jackson immediately said, waiting for Uriel to take over his body. This would allow Uriel to use shadow traveling to leave this place immediately."You see why I'm always disappointed in you?" Uriel grumbled within Jackson's head. "You've been my vessel for over a year now and you can't even use my Cursed powers actively. You always wait for me to take full control over you to do so.""You haven't taught me," Jackson said as he held the box close to his chest. It was as if he was afraid the box would suddenly get lost."I don't need to tea

  • Crimson and Furs 2   Chapter One: Dawn

    It has been a year since I was introduced into the Cursed[1] world. At first I was confused and afraid. I didn't know how to handle being a Cursed. It was so much fraught with danger that I thought I would perish at any given moment. But I'd been wrong. I didn't perish. Instead I was given salvation, climbing out of the abyss I would have descended into. This salvation wasn't gotten by my own accord. My friends helped me with it and I can't help but feel grateful.But then, no matter how peaceful I think the world has gotten, I'm very much wrong. After saving the world once from Abyss, I thought I would have the chance to live a normal life. But that was fallacy. There is no normal life after becoming a Cursed. I wouldn't want anyone to even dream of becoming one. I'd been lucky to gain salvation but not everyone would be so lucky.My name is Daniel Stark and I'm going to reveal to you more dangers of becoming a Cursed. It isn't a wish to yearn for. Desist now that it's too early befo

  • Crimson and Furs 2   Chapter Two: Meeting

    Daniel climbed the wall and silently opened the window, falling into the room with a small thud. He was actually sneaking into the room because he didn't want his mum to discover he was always roaming about in the night, doing some kind of vigilante work when he was supposed to be thinking about how to go to school. As a 16-year old kid who was very intelligent, his future would be bleak if he just dropped out of school like that.But then it wasn't his fault that he wasn't going to school. After the incident with School of Abyss, Crimson High School had been shut down instantly. The police didn't tell the public that the principal was actually a member of this secret organization which worshipped Abyss, the most terrifying evil existence Daniel had ever come across. Rather they spun a tale that Miss Pinmaker worked with the School of Abyss which was a terrorist organization to disturb the peace of Crimson Springs. They even went on to highlight several cases of missing children, maki

    Daniel was still angry with Crying God who had a warm smile on his face as if what he had just done was very funny. His blue eyes squinted slightly as his lips pursed to prevent himself from laughing out loud.After some moments, Crying God said, "Actually I came to inform you that the time for the meeting is due. Ten minutes from now the meeting will be commencing.""Oh, right," Daniel said, forgetting that he was angry with Crying God. "I guess I should log into Facebook then."Hearing this Crying God couldn't help but chuckle, "Nah, this isn't necessary. I and Orpheus have worked together to develop something very fascinating. You'd love it."Daniel had a puzzled look, not for once following Crying God's train of thoughts. Why were Wizards like this?Crying God soon stopped chuckling as he said, "Well, Orpheus came up with the idea of using the virtual reality to convene our meetings. This way we'd be able to maintain our secrecy without being afraid of other secret organizations s

    After Daniel got an answer from Crimson Moon concerning the Museum screening out entities that weren't members of the Curious Mythologists, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. He felt that would mean that Bloody Mary had been kicked out. This was because although she had shown the zeal to join the Curious Mythologists, she wasn't a full fledged member yet.He was about to rejoice when he heard a very familiar voice in his head, "Crimson Moon already made me a member.""..."Daniel was rendered speechless and he couldn't help but turn to look at Crimson Moon who was combing his red hair with his right hand, his fists clenching angrily. But of course he couldn't say anything, not when Bloody Mary was still possessing him. So he chose to keep quiet.Finally Crimson Moon Orpheus opened his mouth to talk, "I've discovered sightings of a supernatural creature which doesn't seem to match with any known Cursed type. Of course we might not have accurate information about the Cursed ty

  • Crimson and Furs 2   Chapter Five: Terrifying Hellhound

    After seeing that the two guards were dead, the demon scoffed, "I never thought humans would be so weak after thousands of years of leaving the Earth. What happened to the thousands of Cursed that roamed the surface of the Earth back then?"As a demon who resided in hell, he could only return to the human world when the gates of hell opened. And he was really thankful to the humans for this because their evil desires help open the gates of hell."After getting that Path four relic, I should be able to successfully advance to become a Mutant," the demon said as he walked into the museum. "I've been stuck at being a hellhound for centuries now. Now that I'm out of hell, I need to find a way to advance quickly."Obviously, advancing was easier for humans than demons. This was because it was very rare for demons to die and give up their Cursed essence. And it was also very rare for demons to go against high ranking demons in order to get their essences. Hence, low ranking demons almost ne

    Seeing that Daniel had transformed into a Werewolf, the Demon didn't even panic as a sinister smile appeared on his face. By now the demonic fire was swirling all over his body, making him looking extremely terrifying.Daniel didn't care about the terrifying change as he leaped into the air towards the Demon, ignoring the demonic fire swirling around him. He felt that he would be able to heal from the attack with time. Getting injured would be nothing as letting a Demon who had caused several deaths in a short amount of days to escape after stealing something from the Crimson Springs Museum.Boom! Boom! Boom!Several balls of demonic fire were projected towards the approaching Wolfman, causing the whole place to be filled with an intense heat instantly. This heat seemed to burn the soul and spirit.Daniel gnashed his teeth as he evaded all the fireballs swiftly, closing in on the Demon. He then opened his palm, revealing five sharp and long claws which glimmered under the moonlight wi

    Evil Buddha who had just stepped out of the shadows to stop the Hellhound from escaping suddenly narrowed his eyes after seeing the Hellhound chew on the horn which he had been holding. As a Shadow he wasn't afraid of most attacks as he could always use the shadows to navigate around them. He could also use the shadows to give sudden attacks, making it very difficult to be guarded against. Hence he wasn't afraid of the Demon in front of him even though he could use Demonic Fire and Fire Blending.Evil Buddha had hidden in the shadows, witnessing the fight within the Hellhound and Daniel. He had also observed when he fought Bloody Mary, studying his combat style and Cursed powers. With this he was able to gain overall knowledge of the Cursed powers the Demon had even though he didn't know their names. As a Shadow he was adept in combat observation and could directly copy a combat style of an opponent, mastering it. Hence he was able to quickly deduce the three Cursed powers the Hellhou

  • Chapter Fifteen: "You Need My Protection"

    As Daniel rushed out of the house towards the garage to get his bicycle, he was filled with mixed feelings. It had been a very long period of time since the school was closed down due to the haunted house and ritual incidents. Due to this several students decided to enroll in other schools in Crimson Springs. It wasn't as if Crimson High School was the only school in the city.Hence, Daniel felt that the school wouldn't be as bustling as it used to be. There would be a fewer number of students and teachers and that would make the school atmosphere somewhat boring."The school being boring should be the least of my concerns right now," Daniel muttered to himself as he sat on his bicycle and pedaled it out of the compound. "That Demon who caused so much destruction and almost killed us all is still on the loose. He should be the one I should be worrying about."With his strength as a Wolfman he was able to pedal the bicycle so quick that people who saw him stopped to look at him in shoc

    It was around 6:30am but Daniel was still sleeping like a log of wood. Even when the alarm clock kept on ringing he didn't wake up. It was as if he had been transported out of his body to another world. In the end it was Caroline who went to turn off the alarm with a deep frown before going to sleep in the bed beside Daniel."I can't sleep at night and I can't sleep at day..." she muttered to herself in complaint. "My life is such a miserable mess..."But of course no one could hear her so she continued sulking till she fell silent and finally closed her eyes, falling asleep like Daniel who was yet to wake up.A couple of minutes later there was the sound of footsteps hurrying towards the door. The doorknob shook for some time without opening till the other party finally realized that it was futile opening the door. Daniel had already locked it before going to bed.Instead of calling Daniel's name in order to wake him up or banging the door, the person who had been trying to open the

    The Leviathan roared, sneezing primordial energies from its nostrils as it glared at the ship which was as tiny as an ant. Suddenly, another body began growing from underneath its neck. It expanded till there were two bodies under the neck of the Leviathan."Just what the hell is this..." Dantes moved back in fear as he looked at Mr. Stark."Don't worry, we'll get out of here..." Mr. Stark said immediately. "Please you all should stop staring at the Leviathan or it's..."He had not finished his words when most of the members of his crew exploded into blobs of wriggling flesh. These blobs immediately transformed into countless tiny snakes, rushing towards the very few who had not been staring at the Leviathan due to fear."That's the Mutating ability of a Path four, Mutant of the Demon Cursed type," Michael said within my mind. "At this level it has evolved into something very frightening. If not for me casting an angel level Purifying on this ship then the ship itself would have trans

  • Chapter Twelve: The Leviathan

    The sea continued rippling and producing several walls of water which kept on rising till they blocked the sun from everyone's sights. Then they crashed onto the two ships.The Witches on the Apostate immediately pressed their hands together, creating powerful hexes which surrounded the ship. When the waves of water came close to the ship, they emitted sizzling sounds as they quickly evaporated.The Cursed on Mr. Stark's ship also reacted, using their various Cursed powers to stop the waves of water from crashing onto the ship. They were successful but then more waves kept on rising.At that time a faint light was reflected from the bottom of the sea, causing the powers of all the Cursed in both ships to reduce by half! No, it wasn't that their powers was reduced by half. It was the unknown power coming from the bottom of the sea that was rapidly increasing!The Soulless Emperor frowned instantly, feeling a great burning sensation. He wasn't the only one affected on the Apostate but t

    Mr. Stark stood on the deck of his ship, gazing into the horizon with the waves crashing about. Allen he could see around him was the sea and nothing else. The soft breeze whistled all over the ship, causing his brown hair to flutter in a rhythmic manner. His brown eyes were deep and calm as if he didn't care about anything in this world.Some months ago Mr. Stark had left his family to begin another long adventure by the order of Angel Michael who was possessing him. Angel Michael had told him that they would be going to find the Gates of Hell in the real world.Although he didn't know why the angel was so bent on finding the Gates of Hell, he still complied. After all, he owed this angel his life several times. Hence, he was willing to leave his lovely wife and only child, Daniel for this great adventure which might even take more than a year.In regards to this he decided to buy a ship even though it cost him all the fortune he had amassed in a life time and hire several Cursed fro

    After some moments Daniel broke the silence, "You've beat me in every aspect.""Why do you sound as if you're unintelligent?" Selene rolled her eyes. "Everyone knows the Crimsone Cursed paths are easier to harmonize than the Lycanthrope Cursed type."No Miss, Daniel thought inwardly. I'm the one who's not outstanding enough..."Stop with the sour expression or you're gonna make me angry," Selene faked an angry expression."Okay, okay," Daniel smiled. "I was just upset that I didn't get the chance to harmonize the Wolfman Cursed path and advance to the corresponding Cursed path.""It's normal," Selene said. "As someone who gained the Primordial Wolf's attention and even got possessed to save the entire world, it's normal you'd feel that way."Daniel heaved a sigh as he said, "You're right. I just feel saddled with so much responsibility. I have the strong urge to become more powerful so that I would be able to protect the people I love."When Selene heard the last statement, her eyes t

    After spending several minutes in the Museum Daniel finally decided to return to the physical world. Tapping the bracelet on his left wrist, a small holographic screen suddenly appeared. It displayed the map of Crimson Springs, showing several locations.Another attribute of the high tech device created by Orpheus' workers was that it also allowed one to teleport from the virtual reality to any location chosen. As long as the location didn't exceed Crimson Springs, Daniel could teleport anywhere. Well, only the locations displayed on the holographic screen could be teleported to.Silently he chose Bradbury Street where he and his mom was now residing. After having their former street attacked by Dracula, the previous king of Crimsones, Daniel had requested that day park. The Special Cops had discovered that the corresponding area had been tainted by the aura of the Crimson King so they decided to shut down the street in order to resolve the anomaly. If this wasn't done then the aura w
