Mr. Stark rubbed his eyes and yawned noisily as he sat upright on the chair which he had been seated on since last night. There were several pieces of papers crumbled up on his reading desk, all of them filled with writings and drawings. His face had a tired expression and his whole body was slumped down with fatigue. He had not had a decent sleep since he began the voyage last year. With each sleepless night he had, he was more resolved about finding the abyssal zone which members of the Abyss Cult spoke about.

But recently it wasn't the abyssal zone which troubled him, making him fatigued. No, he had actually kept his cool after the whole matter. It was the abnormalities being portrayed by Don and Black. They had been behaving abnormal since they began looking at the black fog through the telescope. With each coming day they appeared more withdrawn to themselves, staying up every night in their cabins as they scribbled away in their diaries. They even began muttering things which no

    Don's body could not withstand the tremendous attacks and was instantly reduced into a bloody meatball of shattered bones. More blood dyed the whole place, everywhere becoming filled with the stench of decayed body. But no matter how Don had being punched and his bones destroyed, he didn't fall to the ground and die. It was as if his entire structure wasn't supported by bones. It was as if something else was maintaining his posture."This isn't something I can fight," Mr. Stark wasn't a rash person and instantly came to a conclusion. He turned to look at the door and saw that no one was rushing to help him."Huh?" he was surprised as he slowly walked backwards, moving away from Don who looked terrifying in this state.Mr. Stark had actually caused the whole commotion so that the others would hear him and come to his aid. In fact they would have all rushed down here to help him after hearing the loud thud from the collapsing of the metallic door. But nobody was here even after the whol

    The veins covered Mr. Stark completely, squeezing him into a roll of crimson red pulsing with demonic aura. The faces on the walls and floor all smiled in unison as they saw him being completely swallowed by the veins. By doing this he was going to be transformed into a monster like them—he was going to become a son of Abyss.Mr. Stark who was swallowed up by the veins couldn't breathe again as he struggled for his life all to no avail. He couldn't even move a single part of his body much more break free from the veins which creeped over his entire body, giving him an undescribable sensation which made him feel as if he was burning while at the same time feeling a great coldness. His body, spirit and soul began burning rapidly so that he was slowly replaced by a different entity—a murderous monster which only relied on instinct rather than reasoning. His entire body went numb as if it was no longer part of his existence—as if the body belonged to another entity.This...can't...be...my

    The door to the room was suddenly flung open, Miss Pinmaker and the other students filling up the doorway. They had heard the commotion and immediately rushed to ascertain the cause of everything. Strangely there was no one in the room.Seeing this, the whole surrounding suddenly turned eerie and cold as if they had been exposed to the coldness of the night. The hairs on the bodies of everyone stood as they stared at the empty room. Where had Morgana gone? And where was his brother?"Ma'am, where did they go?" Mary asked fearfully as she nudged at her spectacles. She would dart her head fearfully behind her at times, causing her brown hair to flutter. But everyone knew this. There was no one behind her."I honestly don't know," Miss Pinmaker shrugged. "They'd probably gotten frightened by the whole haunted house stuff and I've left with the driver."The other students weren't buying her stuff much more Daniel who had known this beforehand. They all stared at the Principal suspiciously

    As everyone ran the whole corridor was suddenly filled with a bloody fog that prevented everyone from seeing an inch from their faces. No one knew where they were heading to as they ran without seeing.Daniel tried using his sense of hearing to pinpoint his direction but it wasn't working. It seemed the bloody fog had filtered all his senses. Now he had to rely on his luck not to run into an unfavourable condition. This haunted house had proven to be truly gory as Miss Pinmaker had said. What was her purpose anyway? Did she belong to the Abyss Cult and wanted to use the students she brought for sacrifice?Many questions ran through Daniel's mind but he had no way of answering them. All he knew now was that Miss Pinmaker was an evil person who had lured the students to die in an unknown haunted house.Daniel brought out his phone and wanted to see if there was reception but the bloody fog didn't even allow him see the phone's screen. Even when he brought it very close to his eyes he co

    "Hello," Jessica said as she walked through the bloody fog. "Anyone there?"Her voice echoed through the silent corridor which seemed to be endless, causing her body to shiver uncontrollably. It was an eerie scene. Seeing that no one replied and it seemed she was the only one here, she decided to keep quiet and find a way to get out of the haunted house.I have to leave here alive, Jessica told herself as her red eyes darted around but it was all in vain as she couldn't even see an inch away from her face in the bloody fog. It seemed all her senses had been robbed away from her. Placed in such a dangerous situation she felt like crying but the tears wouldn't just come out. It was during this moment she remembered how Daniel had been trying to dissuade them from going on the excursion. No one had believed him then—absolutely no one—and now all of them had ended up in a real haunted house.The smell of pepper drilled into her nostrils all of a sudden, causing her to cough violently.

    The whole place was becoming darker and creepier, several shrills resounding through the woods. It seemed countless pairs of eyes were watching the quartet from the shadows, waiting for the perfect chance to attack them. The bloody fog which had originally being in the haunted house seeped out, spreading slowly into the woods.Seeing this, the quartet had worried expressions as they stared at the building. It had been minutes now but Daniel had not yet come out. It only meant one thing, he was dead."C'mon!" Samson couldn't wait any longer. He had just escaped from the strange mirror and the eerie reflection, he wasn't prepared to go through another bout of scary escapade. He had to escape now there was a slim chance or he wasn't going to escape. He had been lucky and he wouldn't take that for granted.As if the others wouldn't listen to him, he added, "There's a garage at the other side...""I know," Orpheus interrupted him, sizing him up with disgust.

    As the car drove through the dark woods, the headlights blared angrily, flashing through the darkness which seemed to engulf everything in it. It was moving at such a quick speed that everyone could feel the impact on their bodies as it bounced up and down the uneven ground.At that time Daniel looked out of the car onto the sky, his eyes opening in horror. For a baffling reason the blood moon which had suddenly appeared in the sky caused him to be terrified."What?" Selene who had been observing him asked out of concern. The others turned to look and when they saw the expression on his face, they were terrified as well. Daniel was someone known to be fearless so whatever had made him terrified right now was very much terrifying!Daniel pointed up to the sky, "Blood moon!"He then turned to Felicia and yelled, "Quick! We have to get out of this woods as quick as possible!"Hearing the warning Felicia pressed her foot to the accelerator pedal till it was flatly on the floor. More grey

    "I think I'll drive you all to your homes personally," Smith said as he put away his note and pen. After taking their statements he felt a great pump within himself as he was going to solve another mysterious case spanning several decades ago. But there was something else that bothered him apart from the terrifying event. The other four students had seen Daniel's transformation. How was he going to make them shut up about what they saw?Pan on the other hand wasn't the least bit bothered about the other students knowing that Daniel was a Lycanthrope. Instead he was busy sizing up Orpheus and Selene casually, taking interest to their red eyes and hairs instead of their gorgeous looks. He didn't know why but his body spasmed momentarily when the boy turned to look at him. This almost made him lose his cool because he knew what that meant.He poses a great danger to me, Pan thought within himself. So that means he should be a Path two Cursed...Red hairs, red eyes and gorgeous looks, he n

    After meal Mrs. Stark cleared the table and immediately rejoined her husband and child in the dining room. They had finished eaten but couldn't stand due to their stomachs being overly full so they sat on their chairs and waited for time to pass so that they would be able to get up again.Mr. Stark stared at his loving wife and son for some moments, wondering whether he should tell them what he had in his mind now or later. They should be able to understand me, won't they?"What's on your mind, Darling?" Mrs. Stark asked. She had noticed her husband's worried look. They had been out of all their troubles so what was there to fuss about?"Actually, I wanted to tell you this earlier," Mr. Stark said to them, "but I didn't know how to go about it."Don't tell me, Daniel thought inwardly as he glanced at his mother. Don't tell me he's gonna go on another adventure. This was exactly the same words he used last year when he went on the adventure to the Abyssal Zone. Now he's using those sam

    Daniel woke up feeling very energized and positive. Why shouldn't he? He had been through several frenziedly situations, tiring himself out both mentally and physically. Now that he could finally find rest why shouldn't he be happy about that? Only a bunch of masochist would yearn for more harmful situations like that.Man, it's been such a hectic year, Daniel thought to himself as he yawned loudly as stretched his arms and legs. The shirt he was wearing rose up slightly above his tummy, revealing well chiseled abdominal muscles which could only belong to a pro gymnast."Finally, everything has returned normal," he muttered to himself and turned around only to lie face-to-face with Bloody Mary who was staring at him with her red eyes."..."Daniel became blank. Whatever had happened last night was gone and this was a new day. He couldn't count himself a lucky person today and try seeing the Specter as some lover. It was practically impractical and disregarding of a high born Specter!

    That night Daniel realized the meaning of being late. Before he was even in the Curious Mythologists group chat all the other six or so members were already there, chatting away. There were so many messages that he reckoned to be at least a hundred of them. He took his time to read the previous messages to catch up with the others.Of course the others could see that the legendary 16-year old Wolfman who had saved the world using Furs' powers was here. Crying God was the first to type as usual:"Hey, weakling. Never knew you were such a casual latecomer and snubber.""What's your business with him being late?" Crimson Moon typed straight away. He felt it was his duty to thrash talk Daniel and as a good citizen, he wouldn't let others do his job. He wasn't even afraid that Crying God was a Path four, Combat Magician."You wanna know my business with him? How about you kowtow to me and call me daddy!" Crying God enjoyed dissing. He didn't even care about his reputation as one of the pow

    That night was a very peaceful and quiet night. After the near death experience everyone had, it was a miracle to see that the whole world had survived the apocalypse that would have killed everyone.Standing in front of a mirror in her room was Mary Silver. The frames of the mirror were made of real solid silver, an exquisite and expensive design running across them. Everything in the room had this taste of silver on them. Silver. Yes, it was a symbol of the Silver family.Staring at her reflection Mary couldn't help but narrow her green eyes as she turned around, walking towards her bed with elegance. She was dressed in a silver colour night dress, her red hair tied into a pony tail with a silvery ribbon.Reaching her hand to the large tablet on her bed, she immediately logged in facebook and clicked on the Curious Mythologists tab on the message section."Finally we're gonna have one of the most important discussions in this group chat," she said, "a discussion to really transform

    Chapter Ninety Seven: The Rodolfo Empire

    There was silence as Orpheus and his uncle, Lazarus went through the portal. They could even hear blood pulsing through their veins. Orpheus even began feeling nauseous about the whole thing. It reminded him of the time with the mysterious Cassio—the time when they were being dragged into some whiteness.Soon the blue in his eyes cleared and now they were standing in some cyberpunk city. It was filled with so much skyscrapers which reached into the sky, several spiraling roads hovering in the air around the skyscrapers. Drones, flying cars and robots could be seen across everywhere as the zoomed at supersonic speeds."What the..." Orpheus was beyond fascinated as he stared at the wonder before him."This is one of the planets your companies are located in," Lazarus explained. "It's inhabited by robots and cyborgs. We're the only complete organic people around. Even animals here are robots or cyborgs. None of them are complete."Orpheus watched as a drone suddenly landed close to him,

    Chapter Ninety Six: True Heroes

    Daniel felt a blinding light engulf him and Orpheus, sucking them from the Center of the Omniverse. He closed his eyes, feeling the mysterious energy which ran through him. Obviously it came from the Center of the Omniverse, the origin of all stories within the Omniverse. He didn't know how long he was engulfed in the light but he knew a long time had past, a really long time had passed.I wonder how Orpheus is doing, Daniel thought within himself. This Crimsone who had harboured some hatred towards him had turned out to be the most reliable friend he had. Both of them had even fought side-by-side, escaping death several time. If what Cassio had told him was true—about the entire Omniverse being his dream and his entire life being a story in the Omniverse—did it mean he and Orpheus were the two main protagonists of their story?He was still thinking when he felt the light fading around him, his eyelids quivering as they opened gradually.~Five hours had passed but no one had left.

    Chapter Ninety Five: Peace At Last

    Selene and Mrs. Stark looked around for some time before asking at the same time, "Where's Daniel?"Both of them had the same expression that it made the other Curious Mythologists to wonder what kind of relationship Selene shared with Daniel. As for Mrs. Stark they had seen that she was Daniel's mother after seeing the little family reunion. But for Selene what was she to Daniel to show such genuine concern that only mothers would show? Except of course Selene was Daniel's sister. But then there was resemblance or whatsoever. Daniel had a brown hair and brown eyes while Selene had a red hair and pair of red charming eyes. They didn't even resemble the slightest bit.Evil Buddha who knew many things about Daniel and Selene wanted to clarify things but then he chose to keep quiet."We saw him, his dad, a Crimsone and some Doppelganger kid go off while fighting Abyss," Crying God was the one who replied. "They seemed to be possessed by higher existences.""They went off?" Mrs. Stark was

    Crack!A crack sound emanated throughout the whole space as the wall which Daniel had erected around the entire creation had cracked and nothingness was seeping through."We have to do something now!" he yelled as the reality dawned on him. If they were touched by the nothingness they would be gone instantly. The true form of Abyss was way more powerful than them.Orpheus raised his hands, infinite streams of blood shooting out all over the place. It formed a thick river of blood which engulfed the both of them, surrounding the entirety of creation.Daniel pressed his enormous hands together, countless furs appearing all over the river of blood. When these two met they formed a blinding glow and then the river of blood began transforming into smaller balls of blood covered with furs, swirling in the air around Daniel and Orpheus."So this is the process Crimson and Furs went through to create the Realm of Degradation?" Orpheus asked, the power taking a toll on him. He couldn't last an

    "You can't stop the apocalypse!" Abyss yelled as he caused the nothingness to spread out around him once more. This time it wasn't slow but going at the speed of instant teleportation.The others were too slow to realize what was happening. Only Crimson who was also the embodiment of speed could observe the speed at which the nothingness was expanding.The others couldn't help but watch as their bodies were enveloped by nothingness. They could all feel it that Abyss had gotten stronger and if care wasn't taken the bodies of their vessels would disintegrate, becoming nothing. If that happened then this fight would become meaningless, Abyss winning again. They all tried using their powers to temporarily nullify the nothingness around them but it wasn't enough.Furs kept on punching around him, creating absolute strikes which tore away the nothingness around him. Crimson who was the embodiment of speed would always vibrate his body at immeasurable speed, existing on different vibrational
