Crimson and Furs Chapter Forty Two: Crossing Paths
The next day Orpheus 'woke' up brimming with energy and immediately began preparing himself for the day. As a Vampire he had little or no sleep but he had to still lie down just like humans did. It was useless but fascinating in a way.When he was done he went to the dining room where his father and Selene were already seated. Breakfast was roasted lambs with cucumber sauce. There were three bottles of blood beside the plates of food. They were labeled, 'Humane'."Good day father," Orpheus greeted as he went to take his seat. He blatantly ignored Selene."Ah, you're awake," Viscount Luther said. "How was your sleep?""Inasmuch as I didn't fall asleep I'd say it's good," Orpheus said.Viscount Luther chuckled as he said, "That's how it feels trying to imitate how another specie behaves.""Uncle, you can sleep at will and so can I," Selene snorted. "He's just being useless.""Hey..." Orpheus wanted to retort but Viscount Luther waved his hand, stopping them.Rubbing his temples with his
Crimson and Furs Chapter Forty Three: Harmonizing
That evening Daniel was already in his room chatting on facebook. Only the proud and arrogant Crimson Moon and cold Sexy Peacock were online so he hurriedly went off. He didn't even tell them about what happened today and only discussed major things like Viscount Luther moving into Woodbury.Around 8:00PM he undressed and waited for his transformation. The moon was full and clear, everywhere bathed in silvery illuminance.What will happen if I right against the pain that comes during my transformation? Daniel thought to himself. I've always lost my consciousness during every transformation and maybe that's why the other personality of mine takes over. What if I can fight to stay awake? What would be the outcome then?Daniel closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. I have to think of something that'd shut out the pain—that would make me retain the humanity in me after my transformation. If I succeed in doing this I'll not go unconscious and be in full control over my actions.After wat
Crimson and Furs Chapter Forty Four: Gory Experiment
The lair was filled with corpses, the whole floor littered with bits of flesh and black blood which were already dried lumps. An unbearable stench wafted the atmosphere, causing every sane person to turn sick. In the middle of the lair was a very young child stripped naked and hung by chains fettered to his hands and legs. He was suspended in the air between the ceiling dripping with an unknown liquid and the floor littered with corpses.A man stood before the child, his hands fiddling with the silvery needles on top of a wooden desk. The needles were of varying sizes and lengths, the longest being as long as an average adult's arm."I need to get through with this experiment," he muttered to himself as he took one of the needles and walked towards the child.Seeing him approaching, the child began crying as he struggled to break free from the chains but his efforts were fruitless. He could only fearfully await his doom.The corpses in the lair all belonged to the children who had bee
Crimson and Furs Chapter Forty Five: Nightmare Becomes Reality
On Monday morning Daniel was already up before 4:00am to familiarize himself with his new abilities. Ever since he became a Wolfman he had been testing his abilities in order to build them. Now he could transform at will and it felt so good.When he told the Alpha about his advancement, the latter couldn't hide his shock."How is this possible?" the Alpha had asked. "You've only been a Werewolf for just a month!"Daniel had smiled wryly and told him everything, the Alpha sighing in the end with a few words, "That's why..."He also told the peeps on Curious Mythologists and all of them except Evil Buddha showed their shock. Of course they did not ask him how he did it because Evil Buddha had already told them about harmonizing. Crimson Moon who wasn't around at that time was the only one left out and had to ask how. Daniel had happily told him.As Daniel stood in front of the mirror he curled his lips into a smile as he muttered to himself, "It's good to be a Wolfman. No more killing t
Crimson and Furs Chapter Forty Six: Apocalypse-mare
Cough! Cough!Daniel coughed as he walked through the yellow puff of smoke, waving his hands. His brown hair was dishevelled as if it had not been combed for some months now, his brown eyes dreary. He kept on walking till he came out of the puff of smoke."What's this place?" he asked himself as he looked around. The whole place was desolate and barren. If there had not been scraggy skyscrapers drooping down like an old man and the vehicles caked in rust and dirt Daniel would have thought that he was in another world.Isn't this Earth? Daniel asked himself as he looked up into the sky. Where's everyone gone to? What happened here? Why are there no living beings?So many questions were left unanswered as he kept on staring in the sky. The sky which was supposed to be blue or white or red (or whatever) was caked in a kind of haziness he couldn't describe. No it wasn't right to call it haziness. This was literal nothingness!Abyss? Daniel was shocked as his pupils dilated. Wasn't this th
Crimson and Furs Chapter Forty Seven: Success
Marcus stood before the young girl who was bound to the wall with several chains, his lips curled into a smile. This young girl was strapped naked, her face filled with despair as she watched the cruel man fiddle with needles as he smiled at her."You know, when I was a kid I used to be scared about the unknown," Marcus began chatting with the girl as if he was discussing with a friend. He controlled the needles on the desk to soar into the air, surrounding him."I've always wanted to complete this experiment of mine...this experiment to create a powerful army for the Abyss Cult," he continued as he summoned magical energies and ejected them into the needles. "As a Path three Cursed I couldn't do that but now that I'm a Combat Magician, I've broken that barrier!"Actually it was not a mistake that he called the Path four of Wizards Combat Magician. Ma'am had deliberately told him the wrong name to get his hopes unnecessarily high. Arcane Mage was the name for Path five of Wizards and
Crimson and Furs Chapter Forty Eight: Running Into Hunters
That night Daniel was sprinting across the street in total freedom, moving along with the wind. He avoided places he was likely to bump into the cops or Special Cops and moved through places he would pass undetected. He didn't care if his mother would discover that he had been leaving the house every night. What was more important was becoming more powerful so that he could protect those he loved.As Daniel ran he suddenly remembered what had been happening between Felicia and Orpheus throughout that week. Those two had gotten so close to each other that Felicia even began treating him as if he was non-existent. He was greatly shocked about the outcome of everything as he saw both of them become even closer. Was that how Orpheus was getting back at him?—by snatching his girlfriend? For God's sake they had not even visited each other for once and a total stranger had just appeared out of the blues and snatched her away! It was totally unbelievable!"Felicia has been having a major cru
Crimson and Furs Chapter Forty Nine: You Owe Me Two
I'm on the brink of death...My body hurts badly...I'm so done for...Those were Daniel's last thoughts as he lay in the pool of blood which felt cold to his body. The entire world was becoming hazy and he felt himself becoming lighter and lighter. He had heard a click and a loud bang but he didn't know how long he had heard those sounds. The whole world seemed to have frozen around him momentarily. Everything was just silent as if he was in a world without any sound. He couldn't even detect the slightest sound. While he was dying he could only have an unanswered question in his heart. No it wasn't just one question. There were many of them. There were so many questions that he hadn't found their answers and he was dying right now.No, although Daniel's mind had almost become empty he could still think. His will gave him the strength to gain control over his fleeting thoughts. Strength came back to his limbs and he slowly moved them."No!" he yelled as he instinctively rolled away fr

Chapter One Hundred and One: A New Development
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

Chapter One Hundred: Like Pilgrims
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!

Chapter Ninety Nine: A New Organization
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

Chapter Ninety Eight: Curious Mythologists?
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

Chapter Ninety Three: Legendary Battle (Part Two)
"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
