My Demon System New Skill
Sabrina paced down the living room, anxious, nervous, and worried. Five days had passed since Mason had left the house, and although she had found a note lying on his bed indicating that he had gone on a friend's trip with Caleb, Sabrina was still worried. She smelled something fishy. Mason was not the type to be gone for so long, and he most especially did not miss school. With the news going on about the murder of the Umbra faction, she couldn't help but be worried. Besides, Caleb was just a new friend he had made days ago, so how could he be gone with him for so long? Or had they gotten that close already?"Relax, Sabrina. Mason is no longer a kid. He's eighteen now, so he will be back okay?" Aunt Harper said from where she sat, and Sabrina stopped walking. "How can you say that, Aunt Harper? Aren't you even a little bit worried about him?" She snapped and rolled her eyes. "According to my experience, boys tend to act like that when they get to that age. So, he's going to be fine,
My Demon System The Gauntlets
[Shop] Mason summoned the shop tab, and different options appeared. He tapped on the weapons tab, and a few weapons appeared before him. Some were blurred out, and Mason figured he had to reach the next level before he could unlock them. There were different weapons here, such as gauntlets, swords, daggers, maces, and all other kinds of weapons. Mason debated on which one to choose and finally chose the gauntlets. The reason he chose them was that they fit his fighting style better. He had found out while fighting the guards at Umbra that he loved close combat, which meant the gauntlets were the best for him. [Basic Gauntlets - 70 coins to purchase] [Intermediate Gauntlets - 120 coins to purchase] [Advanced Gauntlets - 200 coins to purchase] [Reach Level 20 to unlock] [Reach Level 20 to unlock] The basic gauntlets cost 70 coins to purchase, while the remaining two cost 120 coins and 200 coins, respectively. The rest were blurred out and couldn't be purchased. Mason looked
My Demon System The New Plan
Jasper walked down the dimly lit corridor, his eyes glazed over and his mouth slightly ajar. He had just woken up from a deep slumber and was headed towards his room to take a shower. He had gotten back hours ago, and had immediately gone to sleep on the couch after eating the only thing his eyes could lay on: a grilled cheese sandwich. Now he was awake and felt more alive than ever. As he shuffled towards his room, he noticed the door to his uncle's study was slightly ajar, and stopped. "Is he home?" he wondered aloud, pushing the door open and hoping to find him inside. But the room was empty, the only signs of life a few scattered books and an open window that let in a chill breeze. Jasper let out a frustrated sigh. So much for his uncle's supposed retirement. He was barely around, and only came back in the late hours after midnight. Sometimes he returned covered in dirt, other times with bloodstains on his clothes. And then he would head out early the next day, repeating the same
My Demon System Maya
"What the hell are you?" Jasper asked with a serious face, and Mason couldn't help but take a big gulp. "What... what are you talking about, man? You're freaking me out!" Mason stuttered, walking towards the window with a confused look on his face. What was Jasper talking about, and why was he suddenly asking him that? Was this about what happened at the mine? Or rather, did he figure out what he was? He thought and ran his fingers through his hair. This was all too soon, and he didn't even know what to make of it."Stop acting dumb, man, you know exactly what I mean," Jasper said, standing up as well. "You told me you didn't know what your ability was and how it worked, but it turned out you weren't being completely honest with me. I mean, how on earth did you manage to defeat Ryder? And what happened to you back at the mine? Why did you suddenly go berserk and start attacking us?" Jasper snapped, with anger all over his face. Now that they were a team, he didn't want Mason to hide a
My Demon System Reunion
Sebastian sat at the last corner of Anne's Coffee shop, surrounded by the soothing sounds of soft jazz music as he took a sip from the coffee in front of him. The atmosphere was intimate, with soft lighting and comfortable seating, and everyone around him, except for himself, was seated in pairs, dressed nicely as if on a date. Sebastian checked his watch; it was 5 pm now, and Lena still hadn't arrived. He had been sitting there for an hour, waiting for her so they could discuss the crime scene in the mine and the black fog hovering around Ryder's body. But Lena still hadn't shown up yet. Had she forgotten about their meeting? Or had something come up, and she had decided to cancel at the last minute? Sebastian wondered, but quickly pushed the thoughts away. Knowing Lena, she would do anything to get to the bottom of this case, even if it meant going to hell and back. Sebastian thought with a smile as he took a journey down memory lane. Oh, how long had it been since they'd last see
My Demon System Meeting Ava
The Hale MansionLuke Hale stood before the Hale Mansion, gazing up at the blonde-haired girl leaning out of the open window in front of him. It was 12 am now, and two days since he had escaped from the Umbra Faction. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to walk into the mansion and announce his return. Eight years.That was how long he'd been kidnapped and forced to work in the mines. And eight years, it'd taken him to finally return home to his family, to the place that once embodied his childhood. But as he stood there, gazing at the blonde-haired girl who was once his little sister, Luke couldn't help but let the tears he had been fighting so hard to control stream down his face.Ava,,his sweet little sister, and the girl who meant the world to him. He had missed her so much and had yearned to embrace her all those years he was locked away in the mine. But now, that sweet little girl had grown into a big girl, with a scar that ran down her neck. Luke guessed it was from the relentl
My Demon System Nana's Stories
"And here's my room!" Maya announced as she walked the two boys into her room, before dropping her school bag onto the bed in front of her. "Wow... your room is really cool, Maya. You have a nice home," Mason said after walking into the room, as he kept turning around to take a better look. With a queen-size bed that sat at the far end of the room, and stacks of shelves loaded with books of all kinds, Maya's room was truly an extravagant one, which was to be expected since Maya's family was into real estate and other lucrative businesses. "Thank you," Maya said shyly as the boys closed the door behind them. After school had ended, she had taken them to her home, just as she had promised, so they could talk about the faction and future plans and also meet her dad."I didn't take you to be a reader," Jasper said as he ran his fingers through the books, taking a brief look at each one before moving onto the next. Mason nodded too; there were more books here than there were in the school
My Demon System Meeting Mr Thompson
Mr. Thompson, Maya's father, had just walked into the room when he noticed his daughter coming down the stairs, running towards him with her arms wide open. "Hmm," he said with a warm smile, embracing her in a tight hug. "You're back early today. Is everything okay?" he asked, his brow slightly furrowed with concern when all of a sudden, he noticed the two boys standing behind Maya and watching keenly. "And I see you've brought some friends home," he added as they disengaged from the hug. "Dad, these are the friends I told you about," Maya announced, and Mr. Thompson smiled at the two boys in front of him. "Hello, boys. I've been looking forward to meeting you two. My daughter has told me a lot about you two." Mr. Thompson said, walking towards them. "And you can relax, by the way; Maya told me everything about you two, including your faction." He added, offering them a handshake. This time around, the two boys couldn't believe what they had just heard and turned to look at Maya,

A Dreamwalker
"And that just about covers everything," Maya said after she had finished explaining her dreams to Aunt Vanessa and the woman whose name she still didn't know yet."So let me get this straight, you said you started having these dreams after meeting Jasper and Mason, correct?" Aunt Vanessa asked with a serious expression, and Maya nodded."And these boys, what are they?" Maya hesitated for a while as Aunt Vanessa asked the question, wondering why she had even asked it in the first place or what it had to do with the dreams she was having. But when she thought of the terrible dream she'd had and her reason for being here, Maya decided to tell her everything."Jasper is an original, from the house of Vaughn," she began and took a deep breath as Aunt Vanessa raised a brow."As for Mason... Well, it's hard to explain.""I'm a witch, Maya, trust me, I can handle hard. So just take your time and tell me everything. The more detailed it is, the better," Aunt Vanessa assured her, and Maya nodd
A Witch
"Welcome home, Maya. We've been waiting for you," Aunt Vanessa said with a warm smile, and Maya found herself staring in surprise."You were expecting me?" Maya asked, her voice laced with shock and confusion. How on earth could they have expected her to come if she had told no one she was coming? Or had her dad told them she was coming after she had left home? Maya wondered, but quickly decided to leave it at that and move on to the more important task at hand."My dad told me I could find you here. Please, I need your help, Aunty. Something's happening to me, and I can't explain it," Maya added, hoping Aunt Vanessa could provide some answers.But Aunt Vanessa just stood there, taking a quick, piercing stare at her. "The eyes of a newborn. I see. You've just awakened," she said with a knowing smile and Maya cocked a brow, confused. "What?""Come on in, Maya. Like I said, we've been waiting for you," Aunt Vanessa said, stepping aside to let Maya enter."Waiting for me? What do you mea
Finding Vanessa
Mr. Freyborn stood at the edge of his balcony, gazing up at the stars in the night sky as the sound of passing vehicles hummed through the streets. It was 8 pm now - an hour since Maya had left for Cole City, headed to her aunt's place in search of answers. And as Mr. Freyborn stood there, gazing up at the stars, he wished she'd find the answers she sought."Please, Martha—please watch over our little girl," Mr. Freyborn whispered under his breath, gazing up at the stars as a single tear rolled down his cheek. He knew exactly what Maya was and the kind of answers she'd find where she was headed. He had prayed every single day of his life that this day would never come, and that she'd never awaken to her true nature. His wife had done all she could to shield Maya from this life, allowing her to live a normal life, but it appeared fate had other plans. He could only wish now that the heavens would watch over his daughter and protect her from all harm. As her journey from here on out was
Aunt Vanessa
"Here, drink this. It will help with the headache," Mr. Freyborn said, handing Maya a cup of yellow tea as she sat on her bed. Maya took the cup and gulped down the tea, feeling it burn her palate like a smooth flame. Warmth spread through her body, all the way down her chest, and a few seconds later, her headache disappeared, as if it was never there."What is it?" Maya asked, returning the cup. The tea tasted different from any other tea she'd had. It was sour and bitter, but worked like magic. And she could feel her body buzzing with energy."It's Namal tea, a specialty of your grandma's," Mr. Freyborn replied. "Your mom taught me how to make it several years ago."Maya smiled at the mention of her mom's name. Ever since they'd lost her, her dad rarely spoke about her, leaving Maya wondering if he still hadn't gotten over her death. But after all these years, she was happy he was finally talking about her."I miss her too, Dad," Maya said, staring at her mom's portrait beside her b
Gluttony
"What are you talking about, Maya? What do you mean by 'we are all going to die'?" Mason asked as he settled on the bed beside her, wondering what she meant by that. Everyone else had their eyes on her, curious about why she was suddenly saying that."I... I had a dream, Mason, and in that dream, I saw you and Jasper die," Maya said with fear in her voice and Mason could swear he could smell it on her body."Like you said, Maya, it's just a dream," Mason said, and Jasper nodded from where he sat."He's right, Maya, it's just a dream. Nothing bad is going to happen to us, okay?""You don't understand, okay? It's not just a dream," Maya snapped with fear in her voice and immediately broke down to crying."I've been getting these dreams lately, and I fear they are not just ordinary dreams. They feel more real than you can imagine, and I fear it might turn out to be true, and... and then, I might lose you two," Maya explained as more tears flowed down her eyes and Mason wondered if this w
Level Up
"What's happening to her?" Mason yelled with fear in his voice, after crashing into the wall and creating a huge dent. He got up almost immediately, wiping the blood that was dripping from his nose and trying to run up to her, but Jasper held him back just before he could go any further."What do you think you're doing? Can't you see she needs our help?" "Of course, I see that, Mason, but just take a look at her. That black smoke around her seems to be protecting her, and something tells me it doesn't want us to be here," Jasper said, pointing towards the black smoke hovering around Maya's body. Mason turned to see what it was and realized It was similar to his own shadow skill, only that this one was slightly different as compared to his own."What the hell is that? Is it an ability?" Mason asked, staring at the smoke. He had never seen anything like this in his entire life, not even in the books he'd read as a kid or the games he'd played at school."I don't know, man, it's my firs
Was she really becoming a witch?
Maya paced down the living room, looking worried and concerned. Her head was humming, and she couldn't help thinking about the dream she had in the middle of the night. In fact, she'd been thinking about it all day long, barely getting any sleep. Why had she dreamed about Elvis Malcolm all of a sudden? And more importantly, why had she woken up to find herself floating over her bed? Was she really becoming a witch like she suspected? And was this a premonition like the book said it was? Maya sighed, running her fingers through her hair. Were witches even real to begin with? And if yes, then what were they? All she knew was that they were capable of casting spells and doing magic out of thin air. The powerful ones amongst them could conjure lightning and manipulate the weather, but these were just things her Grandma had told her as a story. What were the chances that any of them were even true? Maya wondered as she settled on a couch. But even at that, she still couldn't completely
And then, he would make them pay
Detective Lena walked into her apartment, looking exhausted and sleepy. She had just parted ways with Sebastian and now all she yearned for was a few hours of good sleep. Ever since the Umbra case, she had been working nonstop, getting only a few hours of sleep that didn't do much for her health. Now, her body couldn't take it anymore, and she knew it was time she got some rest."Shit, now everything is blurry," she cursed under her breath before dropping her bag on the table beside her. Rubbing her tired eyes, she turned towards the investigation board in front of her, and a deep sigh escaped her lips as she took a few steps closer, her gaze scanning the chaotic collage.The board was a mess of pictures, notes, and strings, each one representing a piece of a puzzle that refused to come together. There were photos of the ten murder victims from the past month, their faces frozen in time. Next to them were snapshots of the Umbra Case, the case that was now the most talked-about in Beve
Too Low
Mason landed softly on the floor after sneaking into his room through the open window. It was 6 a.m., and he and Jasper had just parted ways on Falcon Street. "Seems like I made it back on time," Mason muttered to himself when he noticed the house was still silent. He tiptoed towards the switch in front of him and with a gentle flick of his wrist, the lights sprang to life, casting a warm glow over the room.As the illumination settled, Mason's gaze drifted towards the bed, and his heart skipped a beat as he found Sabrina sitting on the bed, her legs crossed and a piercing look of suspicion etched on her face as she stared at Mason."Well, well, well. If it isn't Mason Blackwood," she said in a cold tone, crossing her arms."What the hell Sabrina, what are you doing in my room?" Mason half-yelled, throwing his bag at her."I should be the one asking that, not you. Where the hell have you been? You've been gone for over six hours.""That's none of your business, okay. I'm not a kid any
