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
The silence lingered on for several minutes, both refusing to talk. Felicia and Owen were both pondering about what Orpheus had just said while Orpheus was allowing them to assimilate the information."I didn't tell you because I was protecting my family," Orpheus said without any emotion. "I was doing what my dad asked me to do.""So all this while I've bee dating a Crimsone?" Felicia was very much shocked. "So you Rodolfos have always been Crimsones?"Orpheus didn't reply as he took another sip of blood from the mug. He stood up gently as he asked, "If you were born as a Crimsone, what would you have done?"Felicia thought about the matter but she couldn't come up with a reasonable answer. If she had been in Orpheus' shoes she would have done exactly what he did—hiding the truth about her existence."Not only are we hunter by Crimsone Slayers, we are also hunted by other Crimsones who are not part of the Rodolfos," Orpheus said. "So tell me, what would you have done in such a situat
"I don't know what you're thinking in there but I love you very much," Selene said, her red eyes staring into Daniel's eyes while her slender and beautiful fingers caressed his chest. She was laying on his chest, counting the number of times heart beat.Daniel took a deep breathe as he said, "It's not what you're thinking.""Then explain to me so I can understand," Selene said with watery eyes. Seeing her this way accentuated her cuteness and softness. It made the heart of anyone who beheld her to bleed with guilt. "Please tell me why you can't love me.""It's not that I can't love you," Daniel said, not willing to tell Selene the whole truth. If he did he was very sure he would provoke Bloody Mary. And when that happened both of them would be as good as dead."It's a big secret, right?" Selene smiled. "A secret greater than your existence as a Wolfman?""Yes, it is," Daniel sighed. "In a way I'm protecting you.""From something terrifying?" for someone who was a Cursed and had gone t
Dracula still maintained his smile as he said, "Normally I can just control your bloods, tweaking you to whatever I want you to be. But it wouldn't be fun, right?"The bats were still flying within Dracula's palm, screeching loudly with their bloodshot eyes. It was evident they would feast upon the quartet the instance they were released by him.Daniel looked at the private bodyguard who was guarding Selene, his eyes flickering several times. He was passing a message to the private bodyguard that he wanted to distract Dracula and buy time for all of them to escape. The private bodyguard nodded calmly, showing that he understood Daniel's signal."Alright, now's not the time for petty talks," Dracula said. "Now it's time for all of you to die."Instantly all of them felt their bloods boil. It was as if a pair of hands were moving rapidly through their bloods, trying to rearrange them.Now this should be the time...Daniel had not completed his thoughts much less his action when he saw th
Seeing the expressions on all the faces of the Wolfmen and Werewolves the private bodyguard and Selene couldn't help but shudder as they stared pleadingly at Daniel to stop his madness."Alright, I was just joking," Daniel said as he waved his hands. One thing that made him different from the other Lycanthropes was that he wasn't as rash and aggressive as they all were. While they always wore deep frowns he was someone who smiled everytime."These Crimsones are not coming with us," a Wolfmen said. From his tone it seemed he was the most powerful Wolfman standing in their midst. "They're our enemies.""But they're in danger," Daniel wouldn't give in. "The Crimsone King is after their lives and will stop at nothing to get them. We were almost killed by that Dracula if not for the intervention of one of my trump cards."Hearing the term 'trump cards' the Lycanthropes frowned deeply. It seemed they had already gotten a 'trauma' from the term alone."But even as that, my trump card couldn'
Mr. Stark stood on the deck of the ship staring into the horizon. The black fog had dissipated around that region of the sea but then the sky was pitch black and there was no sun. This made the sea become pitch black as well.There were very few adventurers on the ship, all of them thinking about when the dangerous adventure would come to an end. They had been 50 people when the adventure began but now they were only ten. The others had been killed in different types of dangers arising from the sea. Their deaths had shaken them greatly but they didn't turn back home. They still wanted to locate the Abyssal Zone so that they could return to report to the authorities who would know what to do."What's on your mind?" a familiar voice entered Mr. Stark's ears. He didn't need to turn to know that it was Danton."I'm wondering if everyone here would survive this," Mr. Stark was an open minded person. So he quickly shared his thoughts with Danton. This Boneless had always looked out for him
