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

    That morning Pan drove the students to their various residences alongside Smith. They explained that Miss Pinmaker was involved in a human trafficking business and had successfully sold the other ten students people with unknown motives; only five students survived and Miss Pinmaker was nowhere to be seen.Felicia was the first to be sent to her residence followed by Samson and then Orpheus and Selene. Daniel was the last."I feel you two are ganging up to make life miserable for me," Daniel said. He didn't want to be insulted by Smith again.Smith smiled as he said, "Easy Dan. You're not the only person in this world with a low IQ. There are others as well.""Yeah," Daniel muttered. "Give me some hope."Pan chuckled where he was as he pulled over Daniel's residence, "There you go fella.""No one's at home," Daniel said as he patted Caroline. He had relied on his acute hearing to know that. There was not a single heartbeat coming from the house."Your mom seems to be busier than us,"

    Daniel watched as Jackson approached him, his face showing no hint of fear. He was the killer of Jackson's father so he was very guilty. When then should he be afraid of revenge?Jackson clenched his right fist and punched it towards Daniel's face. He didn't care about anything now except taking revenge for his father who had been murdered by this Lycanthrope.Daniel didn't move as he allowed the punch to hit his face, blood spraying out of his mouth. He staggered backwards several times before stopping. Inasmuch he had been filled with guilt about killing Mr. Eden he couldn't help but feel shocked at the kind of strength Jackson displayed. How the hell was he able to punch him without cracking all his knuckles at least? He wasn't even supposed to stagger backwards or feel any pain!This isn't the ability of a Impersonal, Smith immediately turned vigilant as his blue eyes narrowed. Although Doppelgangers really showed powerful abilities in higher Cursed Paths, they weren't know for ha

    That noon Daniel sat in the sitting room, his eyes glued on the television. There was a news currently showing and the headlines read: School Principal and Ten Students vanish Without Trace."...they were on an excursion to a haunted house and ten were captured by Miss Pinmaker who has been confirmed to be a human trafficker. Only five students managed to escape and were rescued by the cops," the female newscaster said."Interesting," Daniel said as he patted Caroline. "The Police sure knows how to handle things, adjusting the details. So this is how they've been doing for decades now."Caroline raised her head to look at Daniel before purring in complaint. Daniel had to stop patting her and allow her to watch the news in peace."The parents of the students are so aggrieved and demand that the 'wicked' school be shut down. The teachers and students are placed in a vulnerable state as the best school in the city is about to be shut down," the female newscaster continued as she brushed

    The next day was Wednesday and Daniel was up very early in the morning to log in facebook around 5:30am. The last time he connected with his friends on Curious Mythologists group chat was on Monday when he was going for the excursion.The day was still dark and the atmosphere cold and damp. Cold wind slapped gently against the glass window from the outside, causing the surface to be wetted."Meow," Caroline complained as she sank deep into the bedspread, leaving Daniel who was seated on the bed. A large bulge appeared in the bedspread, causing Daniel to shiver involuntarily."Why is she so big?" Daniel thought as he sent the first message. Only Crimson Moon and Crying God were active."Hi, big guy!" Crying God typed. "You survived!🐈"Daniel had told them about the strangeness of the excursion earlier and had asked for their advices on how to tackle the matter. He would have updated them with everything that happened but there had been no reception at the haunted house."It's a miracl

    Again the whole place became silent as if nobody apart from Daniel existed there. He could even hear his own heartbeat echo across the whole place before being drowned in the chasm before him, brought to surceasance.Daniel counted his heartbeat as he waited for Abyss to reveal everything he needed to know. While waiting he was also very vigilant, his entire senses working seriously to look out for any portentous threat.One thousand, Daniel almost frowned after counting up to this number. What was Abyss waiting for? Or was he trying to use him as a vessel?Having that thought he couldn't help but feel alarmed as he moved further from the chasm again. He couldn't be too careful with someone who proclaimed that he existed solely for absorbing the cosmos."Hahahaha!" a deep laughter echoed through the surrounding, causing the bloody sky to thicken. The bloody fogs around seemed to condense the bloods became coagulated. The smell of decay permeated the whole place, causing it to be fille

    The sun peeked through the clouds which spread like draperies in the sky, smiling down at the earth vigorously. Birds could be heard chirping as they flew around, preparing for a new day—another busy day.Daniel wouldn't have woken up but he had to. Getting up lazily from his bed he yawned loudly before stretching himself like a cat."I don't know why but I feel I'm becoming lazy these days," Daniel muttered to himself as he stared at the cat which was sound asleep on his bed, "and quite chatty too."The incident earlier was imprinted deeply in his mind. He had seen Caroline devour the rat and had also sensed her malicious intent. He didn't know why but he felt he was in danger anytime he was around Caroline since they left the haunted house. It had never been so.Evil Buddha should reply to the question so I can get a lot of information from him, Daniel thought. I don't know why but I think he should be suited for a Wizard instead of a Doppelganger. He's got a whole lotta information

    "Never thought Daniel would be a Lycanthrope," Orpheus shared his thoughts with Felicia who was seated beside him at the back of his car. This was her first day visiting his house and he took it upon himself to look after her safety. Of course her private bodyguard Owen had argued vehemently against it. Even when Felicia asked the other bodyguards not to follow them, Owen had stood his ground. Finally he had been allowed to follow them and he sat at the front near the driver who had a very pale expression."I never knew too," Felicia replied. "I mean we've known each other for over a month now and he's successfully hidden that identity away from me. I mean, he didn't trust me?""Well, I dunno," Orpheus said as he turned to look at Felicia. "There are some secrets that shouldn't be told even to the most trusted person you have."Felicia's blue eyes lingered on Orpheus for some moments before she opened her mouth to ask, "You can keep a secret from me?"You don't expect me to tell you t

    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!

    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

    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
