2021-10-10 00:03:10With the dark blue sky casting a blanket of darkness, the pale full moon shone like a silvery jewel above the glowing city. As countless glittering pearls stretched into the infinite horizon, underneath, a looming shadow streaked across the cloud piercing towers.
Misty breaths and thumping heartbeats accompanied the shadow whilst it moved onto a building and another. But the second it stepped on a certain rooftop, the veil of its mystery was revealed, showing a figure of a man wearing glasses.
"Huff… Huff…"
His squinted gaze darted at his surroundings as his sweat dripped to his pure, white tuxedo. He rolled his sleeves upwards, feeling as his suit dampened. Upon closer inspection, there were traces of blood at the hem of his dress.

While tiny specks of dust seemed to dance in the shaft of afternoon, the endless orchestra of footsteps drummed the area amidst the blaring noises of steel plated vehicles.Ignorant of the others were the crowded masses as they went through the day in a mix of emotions. Some walked with a few people while the rest walked by themselves.

Occasionally, she would glance at the watch on her wrist while she watched the never ending stream of people. Each wore different expressions and gazes as they moved to their destinati

When the sunlight shone upon the sparkling glass beside a chair and two long seats across each other. There was a girl and boy who sat on the opposite side of the seats as they ordered some light drinks for the waitress. A minute after that, the boy turned to face the girl and became the first to initiate the conversation."It started last week when suddenly, there was a drastic increase of murders cases found scattered around the city. Just like I've told you before, none of these bodies were found by the people nearby. Somehow, they were found by the police when there was an unknown caller who said that there were strange noises in some places."Folding his hands on the table, the boy continued his speech. His face became grimmer as time passed, "At first, that call was dressed as a prank and the police didn't take it serious

While she placed her head on top of her hand, Elizabeth boredly listened to the lecture of the professor right at the front of the class. Her right hand scribbled some important parts of the lesson that might show up in the test to her notebook as half of her attention drifted elsewhere.On her left side was her closest friend, Ellie who hid her smartphone below the desk and played with it like usual. The other students were no different, as they either seemed to be sleepy, softly chatted with their friends, or even drawing doodles to kill the time. Hardly anyone was as hard working as Elizabeth, who still tried to take note of the lesson even though she wasn't in the mood at all."Are there any questions for today's subjects?"When the professor asked the studen

The second item she had bought for self defense.But then, she knew that these items did not amount to much. As a shudder spread through her skin, she glanced at her back. The notion of running back to where she came emerged in her head and this time without Aaron in sight, the idea was very tempting.'But… Should I really run away? Is there no chance for me to have a talk with those hooded people, about the real reason for why they want to capture me…'After all, she only heard Aaron's side about the hooded people. Maybe, there was another side that she didn't know and they could have a talk a

The mask resembled an expression of someone laughing and angry at the same time, while the attire the figure wore was a dark green trench coat.A similarly colored golf hat sat on top of his head as one of his hands gripped what appeared to be a fireman hatchet. His piercing amber gaze glowed under the darkness, giving a shuddering aura to those stare at him."You…"As if he knew the identity of the masked figure, the hooded man took a step forward and let go of the stump that used to be his arm. His other hand was pointing to the masked figure. Ready to unleash myriads of attacks if he needs it.<

"Valkyrie…"Muttering that name, the image of a beautiful woman in armor flashed in her head as she compared the image to the creature before her. She couldn't see any semblance for the creature to possess such a title. But putting aside the weird naming style, she continued her words, "What do you want me? Am I in the headquarters of the Sacred Heart?""You catch on quickly," nodding his head, Valkyrie said, "for your first question, I want your blood and life.

A strange, uncomfortable feeling spread all over her skin yet she couldn't quite describe it. Rather than itching, those feelings were as if something had struck her everywhere, leaving no spots unchecked, giving her a gross sensation that made her shudder."What are you doing to me!?" she shouted, half expecting the voice would give a proper explanation for she knew that she was back at that strange vision she had for quite a while. However, another part of her knew better that the voice wouldn't respond to her. That was how it always was and she didn't think this t

When the first touch of twilight appeared on the far horizon, at last, the convoy of Humvees stopped at the middle of the road which led to the mountain range outside of the city.

Only a few vehicles would be spotted on their way.One of the soldiers got out of the car and walked to the very front of the line. As he chanted, he raised the plate-like item with multiple magic circles engraved in it. Performing some hand signs, he finally placed the plate on the ground and still continued his chant.

Some of his comrades were trying to detain the surviving enemies lying on the ground. His task was no different than them but for quite a while, he could only heaps of corpses rather than heavily injured combatants.

When the sharp steel brushed through his cheek, the scarlet sword on his hand struck right at the demon's neck, bringing forth superhuman force behind it and destroying half of its throat. Instead of showing any reactions, the demon pursued further with five metallic limbs sprouting from its back.Most of the strikes were parried by Aaron whilst he observed the movements of his foe. Despite both being in deadlock for a while, deep down, Aaron realized that in an endurance battle, even he would lose to this artificial demon.'But it won't take that long.'As his eyes glowed brighter than before, his pace doubled in the blink of an eye, to the point not even the demon could follow. Dozens of slashes and heavy blows were sent to its metallic body, causing it to open its m

Before he could utter a reply, however, he felt a danger coming from his back and split his body into countless bats scattered around the place. Still, the blade managed to skewer three of the bats and flicked them to the ground.Appearing right beside Elizabeth, Aaron fixated his eyes onto the creature whilst he said in a grim voice, "You've become famous over the last few days in this world and weeks in another, dear friend.
