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
Crimson and Furs Chapter Fifty: The Excursion
That Monday all the Grade 10 students were gathered in the assembly ground to listen to the Principal's announcement. Everyone except Orpheus and Selene was aware of everything so they weren't clueless about what Miss Pinmaker had to announce."So it has always been a norm for this class to embark on an excursion some few days to Halloween," Pinmaker said. "On Sunday is 31st of October, the day which we're supposed to celebrate Halloween."Orpheus who heard this couldn't help but narrow his red eyes. Why would humans celebrate something that was gory? He had interacted with humans and knew their culture like the lines on his palm so it was natural he knew what Halloween was."You embark to some gory place to celebrate this Halloween?" Orpheus asked Felicia who was standing beside him, her right hand locked in his left hand."Yeah," Felicia replied. "Last time we went it wasn't even gory. It was easy to see through the props set up to scare us. Only a few weak-minded people were scared
Crimson and Furs Chapter Fifty One: Something's Off
That afternoon a school bus bearing the 15 Science Class students of Grade 10 drove from the school, its destination being the haunted house in the woods outside of Crimson Springs. No art student had been chosen for the excursion. It was either they were too afraid or some other reason well-known to Pinmaker. As the school bus drove onto the highway the students chosen for the excursion couldn't help but begin to chat among themselves, wondering how the haunted house would look like. Miss Pinmaker who had also joined the excursion sat near the driver listening to their conversations with a complicated expression which no one could read.Daniel who sat close to the window beside Selene was busy looking out through the glass as he wondered what Pinmaker was up to. He didn't know why but he suddenly had a very bad feeling about the whole excursion. He wanted to tell the others but he knew very well that they were stubborn and wouldn't believe him. Also it was very late now and the excur
Crimson and Furs Chapter Fifty Two: Charlie Charlie, Are You There?
When they walked into the sitting room the students couldn't help but hold their breathes. The sitting room was probably the biggest sitting room they had ever seen. Only the Rodolfos and Felicia remained indifferent to the size since they had way bigger sitting rooms in their manors.There were very large pillars which stood in the sitting room, vines curling around them. There were well arranged furnitures, all of them caked in dust which had accumulated over decades. The floor was covered with a red rug which had weeds seeping through it. The windows were almost darkened from the dust and it was impossible for them to be penetrated through by light.The students were lost in observations and admirations but not Daniel, Orpheus and Selene. Their expressions had become solemn as they observed everything.There's a weird smell coming from this place, Daniel thought as he turned to look at Selene. The latter curled her lips into a smile in a habitual manner but Daniel knew that she was
Crimson and Furs Chapter Fifty Three: "So Beautiful..."
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
Crimson and Furs Chapter Fifty Four: Bloodbath Onboard
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
Crimson and Furs Chapter Fifty Five: Crack and Fall
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

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
