Viscount Luther sat on his chair, his right hand tightly gripped around the black pen as he scribbled away something on a piece of paper on the desk. His red brows were knitted together and his lips thinned as he wrote with all manner of seriousness. After some seconds he was done writing and he dropped the pen on the desk, staring at the piece of paper. "My business empire have grown larger over the past few months and I'm compelled to leave this city," Viscount Luther said to himself. As a wealthy and successful business man he was always busy expanding his business empire. Due to his commitment to his work, his business became very successful and had more profits than losses. He was currently the wealthiest noble in Canada and among the top ten in the whole world. Well, in reality his success and wealth didn't actually stem entirely from his hard works. The Viscount Path was a very interesting Crimsone Path which gave one a variety of unique abilities. The ability which really
"I wanna know more about Werewolves," Daniel typed in the Curious Mythologists group chat. It was evening and he was in bed with Caroline who was staring at the phone's screen, clueless about what he was doing. The moon wasn't yet in the pale red sky and birds could be heard chirping about as they flew back into their nests."Why though?" Crying God was the first to quickly reply. It was as if he had been waiting for Daniel to ask this question.It seems like you're obsessed with me, Daniel couldn't help but shrug as he wanted to type, "I wasn't talking to you," but Sexy Peacock was faster."I don't think Crimson Wolf was referring to you. If he was then it mean your IQ has gone higher than a goat's.""Why do you keep mentioning goats?" Crying God asked. "What did those poor creatures do to you? Did a goat outsmart you in a puzzle game?"Daniel almost did a facepalm as he knew what was coming next. He didn't know why Crying God and Sexy Peacock always got into arguments. They were lik
The Church? Daniel raised his brown eyebrows. The name sounded cool and powerful. Was it an organization comprised of Witches and Wizards? If that was the case then Evil Buddha wasn't lying when he said that he was a Wizard. But then if this organization was called the Church, does that mean they believe in God or a god?Daniel readied himself to type but soon discovered that Sexy Peacock had beat him to it again. He couldn't help but do a facepalm in embarrassment, Caroline narrowing her eyes after seeing him doing this."It's just an expression," Daniel explained to the cat."Yeah, considering the fact that your habit of murmuring has also become an expression," Caroline shook her head sharply."..."What's this? When did Caroline become conversant with my behaviour? Daniel couldn't help but narrow his eyes. So this is how animals think. I wonder how many things humans have neglected because of lack of understanding and skill. Imagine if humans could understand animals talking, the
As Mrs. Stark left the room Daniel couldn't help but feel bad for what had just transpired. He had just brought himself to lie to his mother when in fact he should be telling the truth.I'm just so stupid! Daniel almost hit himself with his phone. I was just this close to telling her! I bet she was even sympathizing with the Werewolves since they weren't really in their senses. I could see her expression. Why didn't I tell her then seeing that expression of hers?But Daniel knew why he couldn't bring himself to tell her. She loved him greatly and that was the thing that got in the way of telling the truth. He had seen the alarm in her when he had lied about taking a serum. She had been so alarmed that she didn't even bother to think about the story at all—if it was genuine or not.It's not all my fault for lying, Daniel replied. The severity of the matter can not be handled by now as of now. I didn't lie about the Walter and his bully friends part. At least they were the ones who chas
Daniel in his Werewolf form soon finished devouring the three mercenaries, his four big fangs red with blood. What was left of the corpses were just skeletons and some strands of meat. Everything had been devoured by him.He stood on his hind legs and let out a loud howl which echoed throughout the whole surrounding, making it creepier. He fell on his four legs before growling at the skeletons, his eyes narrowed in triumph. He then dashed away from the scene into the deep woods to find more preys. In here he was the hunter and every other thing were preys. They couldn't match with his prowess.~"Cough! Cough!" a man with blonde hair coughed as he entered into the tent that was pitched in the woods. "Dan, why is it smoking in here?"A tough looking man with white hair was seated in the tent, playing with an AK-47. His lips were tightly clenched against a golden stick of cigarette, the ring red and hot with wisps of smoke billowing from there and filling the whole tent. He was the one
"Ouch!""My chest hurts..."Daniel cracked his eyes open slowly, the full moon coming into his view although it was far away in the sky. He reached out his right hand to touch his chest where there was an injury. It wasn't that deep and was shallow as if it had long healed, leaving a scar there.It was a dream? he thought as he closed his eyes, trying to shut away the pain he was feeling all over his body. It took him several moments to open his eyes and when he did he saw that he was not in his room.Fuck! he cussed. And it's still full moon! He was about to panic when he saw a boar-like creature calmly standing before him. It had a grey fur and brown glowing eyes. It was so ugly that Daniel felt that the cop, James was just a minor specimen used in the ugliness experiment before they got the end product—an ugly beast like this."Who are you?" Daniel was afraid and tried moving backwards but he couldn't. His arms and legs failed him as they were too weak to even move."I saved your l
Jackson stood in front of the mirror staring at his reflection cast on it. He was dressed in a black outfit with his jet black hair brushed backwards. Although he didn't look as lanky as before, he gave out the physique typical of flexible acrobats with faint abdominal muscles over his torso. He loved this new physical change and couldn't help but wish to Harmonize and advance quickly.Tonight he would be going on an armed robbery in the city's museum. He had been told by Uriel that a Path two Doppelganger Essence was been secretly kept there. If he had a way of break into the museum and making away with this Essence which had been protected as an artifact, he would have no issues advancing when the time came. There would be a Path two Essence available for him to consume immediately. One of the reasons he wanted to go on an armed robbery was to harmonize faster. Going an an armed robbery would give him a great opportunity to perform stunts plus he would get to show his combat skills
Jackson didn't remain at the same spot he had landed and quickly rolled to another side, evading a powerful landing which caused the concrete floor to shatter. Someone who could cause such damage by just landing was definitely not an ordinary guard. For him to shatter the concrete floor by just landing meant he possessed powerful muscles and bones which superceded an average human. This meant that this Borden Museum that was seen as an average museum could actually employ supernatural people as guards. And who was this supernatural person if not a...A Cursed! the reality dawned on Jackson as he stared at the attacker who was donned in a black suit, his face wearing a deep frown. Jackson felt there was an animalistic look to that face but he didn't think too much about it. What he needed to do now was to escape and to escape at all cost!"Stand down kid," the guard who had landed said. "You'd wanna give me the Essence and surrender or find it the hard way that we're not merciful to Cu
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
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,
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. Th
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
