Who?!Pain.All he could feel was pain; the blankness of his mind making it worse. Opening his heavy eyes, he tried to lift his arms but he failed, devoid of strength. "Oh, look who finally decided to come back from the dead", a voice full of sarcasm mocked him.Hearing the voice, Jacob's mind exploded, as the memories came flooding back.Tilting his head towards the direction of the voice, he saw Lucas by his right side, looking at him with a weird smile."For a moment there, I thought you were dead", Lucas continued, ignoring the dumb look on Jacob's face.Looking down at Lucas's hands, Jacob found out that Lucas was tied down to a chair, the same as Lucy was.Looking around, he saw Lucy by his left, her expression that of relief."I'm glad you are ok", Lucy said with a smile, her voice weak as it was obvious she was tired.Nodding to show his appreciation at her concern, Jacob looked in front of him, where he finally saw Stephen and his...dad, holding weird-looking test tubes with
The Goofy Looking Ancient God The headache was intense; passing out twice in a row was not a fun experience. Opening his eyes, he immediately regretted the decision; as he immediately raised his hands to block out the brightness. "What the hell??, who invited the goddamn sun here??", he muttered dumbly. Finally feeling his eyes acclamatizing to the brightness, he peeled off his hands as he peeked around.He soon saw the reason for the unreasonable brightness; he was in a white room, walls painted white, roof painted white, even the floor was white. There seemed to be a reflection of light bouncing across the room. He noticed he was sitting in a chair, also white, and in front of him was a table and another chair across him.'Is this the place where your records would be checked to determine whether you would be going to Heaven or Hell??', Jacob thought. "Hi!!!, how do you do??", a cheerful voice snapped him out of his reverie as he flinched; there was someone sitting in the chair
Closure(1)Looking at the smug smile on the so-called God's face, Jacob's lips twitched; the goofy old man looked more like a stalker than an Ancient God. "How did you know all that??", Jacob asked, as the old man only chuckled harder, caressing his beard."Nothing is hidden in the eyes of this God", the man proclaimed, hitting his chest in pride. "But, there is something strange about you though, there is another entity inside you. I couldn't see through it, which is very strange....I could only block it's observation", Nogret said, squinting his eyes as he stared hard at Jacob.'That must be the system!!. Nogret's tampering with it's observation must have been why I couldn't get a response from it', Jacob thought. "I would advice you to be careful though; although that entity seems to make you grow stronger quickly, it also seems to be drawing on your bloodline. After all, a known Demon is better than an unknown Angel", Nogret advised, to which Jacob nodded, even if he didn't und
Closure(2)After a spell of drifting through the void, Jacob finally felt his feet touch solid ground. 'Long distance teleportation sucks', he grumbled, as the long awaited wave of dizziness washed over him. Opening his eyes, the first thing he felt different was the gravity, as he felt as light as a feather. Looking around, he tried to familiarise himself with his surroundings as he looked for any landmark to find out his current location. He soon found it though, as right in front of him was a skyscraper, and at it's forefront was a large billboard which said; "Lith's Automated Tech". The building was all too familiar to Jacob as he was surprised Nogret would actually bring him here....Lith's Automated Tech was the company his Dad worked for. Wondering whether Nogret sent him to this particular place on purpose, he got a move on, as he left the alley he was in and chose a destination; the cemetery. Hardly had he taken a step did he receive a notification; =============== **Di
Closure(3)Exiting the Cemetery, he enlarged the newly generated map in front of him, as he headed towards the one marked closest to him.°°°°°°Following the map, he arrived at a corner in the city, a very busy one. Since it was dark, people had started going through their unlawful businesses, as Jacob passed by a dark alley where he could hear people exchanging blows. He was not one to interfere though, it was none of his business. The map led him to the red light district of the city, as he passed by many brothels. The map began blinking erratically when he approached a particular building, and he knew he had hit jackpot.It was a casino though, as he saw two hefty men at the entrance, requesting for something before they allowed entrance.Wondering whether he should use his Shadow skills or just barge through, he looked on as a man was tossed out of the casino, as a burly middle aged man emerged by the door, presumably, he was the one that tossed the other man."Manager", the two
Closure(4)Seeing Jacob still sitting, unharmed, the men in the room started freaking out....What sort of a Monster had their boss offended this time??"What are you standing there for, you morons??, shoot again!!!", Ray yelled again as fear gripped him; who was this kid?!The men gave their boss a weird look; he kept shouting "shoot", if it was so easy, why didn't he give it a try??...Or couldn't he see the kid still sitting confidently after being shot at??."(Sigh), I told you not to shoot", Jacob said, as he clenched his fist, sending the bullet flying.With a searing sound, the bullet pierced into the flesh of the three men that shot, one by one, blood spraying from the wounds.Groaning in agony, the three men fell heavily, lifeless. Seeing this scene, the other two men that hesitated slowly backed out of the room, decisively ignoring Ray's plea for help; never did they know that hesitation could save their lives!!.Although Jacob didn't want to shed innocent blood, there was not
Natalia(1)The map led Jacob to a rather luxurious part of the city, to a hotel to be precise. Jacob only had to wait around for a while before he got what he was looking for; an opportunity to enter the hotel. Slinking into the shadow of an hotel guest, he managed to enter the hotel without being seen. He could have used the {Shadow Conceal} skill, but it required shadows to work properly, and the hotel was even brighter than how it usually was during the day!!. So he had to wait for someone to enter, as a person always carried their shadow with them.Entering the hotel, he kept hopping into people's shadow, both hotel employees and guest, till he reached his destination; Room 199. Exiting the shadow of the hotel cleaner, he slid inside the room through the gap under the door, which thankfully was dark, the only source of light in the room being a single red light bulb.The darkness could not inhibit Jacob's vision though, as his Shadow Element granted him night vision, although he c
Natalia(2)Shifting back slightly, she created a little distance between her and the man; how had he tossed the other man back with just a wave of his hand??."(Sigh), don't be scared. I just want to ask, did he force you to do this??", Jacob asked, as he set up a Space Wall around them, blocking out the man's obnoxious yelling.Looking down, Natalia started folding her fingers again, as she wondered if she should tell this man the truth. But yet again, even if she told him, would he care??, he might just be after her body like the rest; a ravenous lion, her mama usually called them.But then again, he seemed gentle and also, it seemed like he was on bad terms with the other man, maybe he might help her??.Jacob didn't push her for an answer, as he gave her time to decide on her own.She finally decided soon enough though, as she opened her mouth and said; "Don't worry, if you are worried I can't handle the both of you, then you are mistaken, I can and I will!"Hearing this, Jacob alm
