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 For him to shatter the concrete floor by just landing meant he possessed powerful muscles and bones which superceded an average human.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
The Special Cops were all silent as they watched the CCTV footage. Some of them were standing while some were sitting but all of them had the same expression. They all had solemn expressions. After some minutes the CCTV footage ended but their eyes were still glued to the television screen. It seemed the whole event that night shocked them. Apparently they had not expected a kid to successfully rob a museum and escape right under their noses. It was something to be shocked about.Of course the Special Cops didn't say anything as they quickly checked up the crime scene, hoping to find some clues to the criminal—clues which they could have skipped."Can't you do something, Smith?" the othee Special Cops soon turned to him. "You're the only Wizard here so you're definitely better at tracking.""Lycanthropes and Crimsones are better as well," Smith said, "considering the fact that they possess peak human condition."The Special Cops stared at each other, knowing where Smith was going with
Daniel immediately sat down on his bed, thinking about what lie he could fabricate right now. What was he gonna tell those cops that were coming? How was he gonna handle things? And now his Mum was in the sitting room things could get ugly. She would even begin to suspect him with the suspicious visits from the cops. Just this month, the cops had visited their home twice. It was enough to spark suspicion in the most free mind."But I still don't know why those cops are coming," Daniel complained. "How do I even begin to lie?"The grey wolf shrugged as he said, "I don't know about that."Seeing this Daniel felt it was awkward. Although he knew that this was the Alpha it was still awkward seeing a grey wolf shrugging."Then I'm sure a toast," Daniel lamented. "Twice they've visited me and I even suspect that the Mac of a cop has begun suspecting me."The Alpha fell silent for some moments. Then he opened his mouth and said, "The other two cops that visited you were pretty easy to lie to
On this Saturday morning Daniel woke up feeling hearty and hale. His whole body was pumping with so much strength that he felt that he would have to jog around the street six times to satisfy this feeling in him. He turned around and saw Caroline still sleeping beside him, her golden fur shining under the rays of sunlight which passed through the glass window into the room."Thank God today's Saturday," Daniel smiled. "I won't have to think about preparing for school."Today he was very happy—happy for the things that had happened during the week. First, the Alpha had kept a close eye on him, preventing him from hurting anyone during his transformation. Second, his mum didn't bother him about the robbery incident at the museum. Third, Felicia told him that she would be visiting him soon. Fourth, Owen smiled at him.Daniel didn't know which one to be extremely happy about but he chose Felicia's visiting. It was actually because he loved her and not because the other stuffs which happen
The black limousine drove across the highway which was sandwiched between dense woods which would see creepy to people with weak hearts. As the limousine continued driving across the asphalt, not a single vehicle went past them. The limousine which contained Viscount Dwayne and his entourage of bodyguards nd maids was the only vehicle on the road."I think this meeting is gonna have a great impact on my business empire," Viscount Dwayne said. "If I can find other viscounts with the same business innovations as I do, I can consider doing a partnership."Dan who was looking outside the limousine opened his mouth and said, "Meetings like that I prone to having dangers. No doubt one or more Viscounts would have had a grudge against you and will be waiting for the perfect moment to strike you."Viscount Dwayne scoffed, "Who would dare attack him in the presence of my entourage?""Anything can happen down there," Dan said. "Especially when you wouldn't be allowed to bring your weapons or pr
The two guards stopped some meters away from Dwayne and Luther, their smiles becoming menacing as if they were seeing the two viscounts as nothing. By now the surviving viscounts were now peeing on themselves. Some had even fainted out of fear. It wasn't easy seeing several people like you being massacred in a day. It was enough to drive trauma into their hearts.Without saying anything the two guards attacked Viscount Dwayne and Viscount Luther, each of them going for each of the viscounts. They even smiled at each other as if they were betting on who would kill the viscount he was rushing towards quickly.Pa!The guard rushing towards Viscount Dwayne suddenly flung his right hand towards his face.Wolfman, Viscount Dwayne observed as the fist approached. Although it was moving faster than the eyes of even some Path two Cursed could capture, he was able to see the fist. It wasn't too slow or too fast and was just normal in his eyes. He had trained himself in every possible way as a L
The guard walked towards the dying flames of yellow fire, his grin becoming wider. He was obviously gloating over Viscount Dwayne's death. The Viscount who had been said to be a Lycanthrope hunter was now dead. He couldn't even face off a Wolfman despite killing so many. That was pathetic and weak.He could smell the burning materials in the flames, his eyes shining in delight. He tried sniffing out the Viscount and smiled he caught his scent. But then strangely, he didn't catch any whiff of burnt or charred person. Strange.He pricked up his ears to listen to any minute sound but there was none. Except for the crackling of the yellow flames, there was no sound. Strange again. Someone was not charred by the blazing flames and yet he was not moving. There was not even the slightest sound of heartbeat.He was a meter near the flames of fire when he saw someone leap out towards him, his fingers spreading into powerful claws. His eyes narrowed in shock as he knew who the person was. It wa
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
