Crimson and Furs 2 Chapter Twenty one: Lone Wolf
So now I'm a Shapeshifter, Daniel thought within himself as he closed his eyes and stood up gently. Instantly information about the Shapeshifter Cursed path began entering into his mind. It was as if an unknown existence was injecting him with the knowledge about his Cursed path. At that moment he knew everything about being a Shapeshifter.A Shapeshifter was a Cursed who coulf transform into any kind of animal. They were no longer restricted by transforming into werewolves like the previous Werewolf and Wolfman Cursed paths. Hence, the reason John was able to transform into the rhinoceros from earlier.And one peculiar thing about the Shapeshifter transformation was that it occured in a magical way. One could transform and still retain what they wore after reverting to their original forms. It eradicated the trouble of having to carry extra clothes or running around naked.By now John and the nine Wolfmen had recovered from the strange terrifying aura from earlier. The Wolfmen didn't
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
Crimson and Furs 2 Chapter Three: The Museum
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
Crimson and Furs 2 Chapter Four: Demon
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
Crimson and Furs 2 Chapter Six: The Powers of a Demon
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
Crimson and Furs 2 Chapter Seven: Mass Mutation
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 Twenty: Ascension to Beasthood
Master of Beasts? Daniel thought within himself, figuring out what this Cursed path was all about. Although the man didn't tell him what the name of the Cursed path was, he could already guess the abilities from the name and what the man displayed here just now.From a normal point of view, one would think that the Master of Beasts was someone who had the ability to manipulate animals and monsters alike. The 'Master' here would refer to someone with ability of taming beasts. But Daniel was intelligent and figured out everything. In fact this wasn't a big deal because anyone in his shoes would be able to figure out something after encountering the Path three Lycanthrope who was calling himself the Master of Beasts.Does this mean he can transform into any animal he wants? Daniel thought within himself, narrowing his eyes. By now he had completely healed from all the injuries but didn't dare stand up. This was because he was very much aware he was outmatched in every aspect. There was n
Chapter Nineteen: Master of Beasts
Seeing the rhinoceros charge at him, Daniel didn't have any other thought in him apart from escaping. He didn't know why but he was suddenly filled with a great sense of fear that made him cower, wanting to instantly fall on his knees and beg for his life to be spared.But at the last moment Daniel immediately jumped out of the way and only got hit by the rhinoceros's sturdy side instead of been gored. The impact sent him flying into the air, causing him to crash into a tree before falling to the ground with a loud thud."Ugh..." Daniel groaned in pain as he grabbed his right side which had been hit by the rhinoceros, feeling a few bones which had dislocated from the impact. Although he was going to heal from the injury it was still very painful.He was still thinking when he saw the rhinoceros halt after taking several steps. It then turned around and glared at him with its brown glowing eyes before snorting. Just seeing this monster glaring at him caused his entire body to go limp.
Chapter Eighteen: Danger
Chapter Eighteen: Danger Classes went on uneventfully that same day. Maybe it was because it was the first day of school but there weren't many teachers who struck Daniel as interesting. Or maybe he was too intelligent to be interested in whatever they were teaching. And as they taught, whiling away their time he would make some scribblings on his notebook as he continued to think about the next Cursed path he was going to advance to. He was entirely restless about the entire matter. During lunchtime he immediately turned to look at Selene who had been sitting behind all this while, wanting to ask her to go to the cafeteria with him. But at that moment she received a call, a delightful expression blooming across her face. "What's the matter?" Daniel asked as he stood up. "You seem very happy today." "Do I not always look happy?" Selene asked, raising her eyebrows. "Looking happy is different from being genuinely happy," Daniel replied. "You're right," Selene let out a sigh. "Aft
Chapter Seventeen: Becoming a Shadow
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
Chapter Sixteen: Ambush
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
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
Chapter Fourteen: Resuming School
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
Chapter Thirteen: Bermuda Triangle
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
