My Demon System The boy with the blonde hair
As nightfall approached, Mason and Jasper sat on a bunk they had claimed as their own not too long ago, exhausted from the day's labor.The dimly lit structure was filled with the sound of weary slaves, their bodies aching from the relentless work. Besides them stood a boy around their age, his blonde hair pouring down his shoulders in waves, and as Mason continued to stare at him, he realized he was the same boy he had seen when he first entered the mine - the one who had been whipped mercilessly by the guards."What the hell are you staring at? Never seen a blonde before?" The boy snapped, his voice laced with hostility."I'm sorry, I couldn't help but stare. You look like someone I know." Mason lied, not finding the right words to say and rubbed his head nervously."Well, get over it. Everyone here have someone that reminds them of their home. It's nothing new." The boy replied and took a big bite of the bread he was eating, his eyes fixed on the ground as he chewed."My name is Ma
My Demon System New Skill
The next day at the mines, Mason was striking the rocks with all the energy he could muster and with each passing minute that went by he felt really weak and drained.The work had been going on for hours and it was noon now and they still had not given anything to eat. Mason stopped for a while to clear the sweat from his face, then looked across him to find Jasper striking at the rocks at the other side of the mine.They had been separated earlier in the morning and were forced to work separately."Well, at least he's a lot better at this than me." Mason said with a smile.Then he turned to his right to find the boy with the blonde hair stricking at the huge rock ferociously.Mason was stunned for a while because he had not seen the boy stop to take a single rest since morning. It was almost like he was used to this and Mason wondered just how he was doing it because he felt like dying already.As he kept staring, the boy soon noticed him staring and momentarily stopped to look back
My Demon System Shadow slash
"What have you done?" Luke asked with horror in his eyes. He was worried. Fighting a guard meant getting ten lashes of the whip but killing a guard? That would mean immediate dead."You have killed us all Mason." Luke said with fear evident in his tone but Mason could barely hear him as he couldn't believe the horror before him. He, Mason, had just killed a human and although he had done it to save them all, that still didn't justify what he had just done."We are going to die if they find out we did this. The master is going to have our heads and display it to everyone. We....we need to hide the body."Luke kept rambling on to himself and then turned to find Mason still standing there with horror in his eyes as his hands shook seriously.Seeing that he was lost within himself, Luke got on his feet and landed a big slap across his face, bringing him back to reality."Wake up Mason." He snapped. "This is not the time to daydream. We need to hide the body. If Umbra find out we killed on
My Demon System Another Original
Just like that, three days went by and Mason had spend a total of five days at the mines, striking at rocks and looking for gems.So far the body in the mine had not been discovered and Mason couldn't help but thank the stars for that. Hopefully, the body wouldn't be found until after they had broken out of this place.[You have failed to complete your daily quest] [1 random stat point will be deducted among your stat as punishment] [Agility - 8<7]'I'm going to go back to being a total weakling at this rate.' Mason complained as he saw the system messages.During the last three days, his strength stat had gone down by 2 bringing it to 8 while his agility stats had gone down to 7. And now, all Mason could think of was breaking out of here and going home.Meanwhile, in a room high above the mine. A figure sat in silence, his eyes glued to the big screens in front of him.The figure, a man named Ryder, had a thick scar running across his left eye, a jagged line that ran from the corne
My Demon System The Plan
"I knew it. I knew I was right. There was no way you'd know what my ability was called unless you were an original yourself." Jasper held Luke arms and shook him as the three grey wolves behind him growled, but Jasper was unfazed. He had seen worse.Ever since the night Luke had given a clear definition to what his ability was called and how it worked, Jasper have had his suspicious about him and suspected him to be an original. Because unlike the other originals, his family ability weren't made known to the public as they lived in seclusion, only the original families had information about one another which must be how Luke knew about him."I... I can't believe this. You really are an original." Mason said walking up to Luke and Jasper. He always knew Luke was hiding something but what he didn't expect was that it'd be the fact that he was an original.Now it all made sense, why he was able to fight against the master and still survive and why he was able to work twice as fast as eve
My Demon System Battle of the fittest
Mason, Jasper, Luke and about sixteen other miners were in the elevator heading high above the mine where the master and the rest of the guards were. The remaining miners were still down in the mine and waiting for the elevator to be empty so they could use it to head up since it couldn't contain all of them.Meanwhile inside the elevator, everyone had a tense look on their face as they knew what awaited them high above the mine. They were about to enter into a battle were most of them would not return from, a battle where they had to fight with their lives on the line and one that would mean the end for them all."Get ready everyone, they will be waiting for us when we get there." Luke said with his hands outstretched, as he prepared to activate his ability.Jasper on the other hand took a deep breath as he also got ready. He had copied three abilities already, leaving him left with just one more to copy.Mason also took a deep breath as he awaited the elevator door to open. This was

Luke said, looking at the dead body. It was so scary, with Ryder dropping on his kn
My Demon System Detective Grant
Beverly town homicide detective Lena Grant pulled up from her car in front of the umbra mountain and knew right away that it was going to be a long day.She had seen reporters at crime scenes before but never this loud and crowded. There were different agencies waiting outside the mountain and fighting amongst themselves to get through the detectives."Detective Grant!" The reporters yelled as she made her way through the crowd with her detectives. At age 37, Lena was used to pushing her way through this kind of crowd but this time around, it was not easy. The reporters knew it was a huge story, and wanted to be the first to cover it. After all, it was not everyday you came across stories like this in Beverly town."Ah. This is going to be bad." Lena said to herself as she made her way through the crowd. They had gotten a tip from an anonymous source about the location of Umbra and a possible fight breaking out amongst ability users. And since there were no Authorities in Beverly tow

Next Time
For a long time since they had left the Hale mansion, Lena didn't say a word. To say she was beyond shocked was an understatement, and she didn't know what to make of the situation. She glanced at Sebastian and could see him drowning in his own thoughts, his blue eyes fixed on the winding road ahead of them."Do you want to talk about it?" she asked suddenly, and Sebastian sighed as he took in a deep breath, but his eyes never left the road."What's there to talk about? You already heard everything."Right. Lena thought to herself. She had been there, heard everything, and had probably seen everything. So why had she asked such a stupid question?"I'm sorry, Seb. That was a stupid thing to ask.""It's okay, Len. It's not your fault.""If it's worth any consolation, then I promise you, Seb. We are going to get them and make them pay for everything."Lena added, and for the first time since they'd left the mansion, Sebastian smiled."Thank you, Len. I'm really happy that you're here.""
Carl Wallace
Mason stood in the ring, awaiting his opponent. It was the last fight of the night, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him. According to Jasper, everyone in the Dead Grounds had to fight a total of two rounds before leaving, and right now, Mason was the only one left. Jasper had fought a man named Venom after winning his first fight, and this time around, he won easily, as compared to the first one, without having to use a third ability. Now, Mason was the last one left.Mason looked around the room, searching for his opponent. He had been standing there for a minute now, and still, there was no sight of his opponent. The room was deadly silent, as if a god had commanded the silence. Everyone had their eyes on Mason, as they waited for his final opponent. After another minute went by, the sound of footsteps could be heard as a boy in a yellow mask came walking towards the ring. Weirdly enough, he was dressed in a school uniform and had both his hands inside his pockets. As he walked, e
Jasper's Fight
"Nice fight out there, shadow boy. You better watch your back from now on." "Yeah, same here. I can't wait to have a taste of that strange shadow ability of yours." "How old are you, kid? Do you want to have a nice time with me and try out these babies while we're at it? I promise I won't bite." A woman in a purple mask said, showing off her assets as Mason walked past her.Mason could hear the rest talk and whisper amongst themselves as he walked past them, each one giving him a look that said they couldn't wait to fight him. Using the shadow ability had made him more popular than he'd expected, and now he was getting all kinds of looks from the rest of the fighters."They're all bloody crazy," Mason thought to himself as he walked towards Jasper, who was waiting in the back row. He was getting the impression that everyone here was insane and drunk on fighting. And revealing his shadow ability had made him their target."Hey, man, nice fight out there. I didn't know you could do th
A Clue
Lena Grant was at a loss for words for everything that was happening right now. To say she was beyond shocked was an understatement. She sensed Sebastian was somehow affiliated with the Hale family, but to actually discover that he had married into that family, and to Ethan Hale's little sister, left her stunned. And from how Sebastian had addressed him by his name, she sensed they were really close, or at least used to be, until something had happened to end that friendship. And she wondered what it was."Trust me, I wouldn't have come back if it wasn't important. I had no choice." Sebastian replied curtly, and Ethan Hale narrowed his brows, a sign of his anger."What?" He snapped, gritting his teeth as he took a step closer to Sebastian."I finally found it Ethan, a lead to that strange shadow ability. I can finally pay them back for what they did to Melissa." Sebastian added and for a split second, the tension in the room dissipated ."Don't you dare mention her name." Ethan warned
Visiting The Hale Home
Detective Lena Grant had her head resting on her hand as she gazed outside the car window, watching as the suburb towns and streetlights became a blur as they drove past them. She was headed towards Cole City, where the Hale family lived, with Sebastian by her side. Rumour had it that the Hales, one of the five big original families, owned this city, and Sebastian had confirmed that by driving her here. He suspected the Hale family had something to do with what happened to Umbra, but he had not told her what. Lena guessed he'd tell her about it later, or that she would find out about it when they got to the Hale mansion. Either way, that was the least of her concerns now, as they were two things that bothered her.First, how was it that Sebastian was bold enough to want to investigate the Hales by driving towards their home? She knew he was a retired authority agent, and the privileges that came with being one. But in the end, the Hale family were originals, and they were not the typ
The First Fight
Elvis Malcolm, the sole survivor of the Malcolm Home fire, and the one everyone revered as the scarred monster due to the burn on his face. Mason couldn't forget him, even if he tried. Besides him, Elvis was also another victim of bullying in Avalon School. Before Mason had obtained the system, there were days he wanted to talk to him and become friends. He felt they were similar: both orphans, without abilities, and victims of bullying.But now, that boy was here in the Dead Grounds, part of a gang, and he had an ability too. Mason couldn't believe it, no matter how hard he tried."We need to talk to him," Mason said, pointing toward Elvis. And Jasper raised an eyebrow."You mean Flame Breather? Why would we want to do that?""Because he's Elvis Malcolm, the sole survivor of the Malcolm Home fire.""He's wearing a mask, Mason. How can you tell?""I know it's strange, Jasper, but I need you to trust me on this." Mason took a deep breath. For some reason, he knew something wasn't righ
Premonition
Maya woke up to find herself standing atop the school roof, confused as to how she got there. She looked around, wondering if anyone was nearby, but there wasn't a single soul in the building. One minute she was lying on her bed, about to drift off to sleep, and the next moment she was here, on the school roof, dressed in her nightgown and holding what seemed like a book."Grandma's spell book," she muttered as she stared at the book and suddenly, something clicked. She remembered now. She was practicing some spells written in the book, like she did every night before going to bed, and then she had gone to sleep, only to end up here, on the school roof."How strange," Maya said as she walked towards the edge of the roof and gazed at the hills in front of her. From up here, she could see her home and the tall hills beyond that, even going as far as to see the Beverian Sea that covered the entire horizon. As she continued to stare, Maya felt the world spin, and then the environment a
Alias
Jasper was standing under the streetlight on Falcon Street when he noticed Mason walking towards him, all dressed up. It was 9:50 pm now, and the entire street was silent. Because of the frequent disturbances caused by the factions, nobody stayed outside late these days, which was the same case for Falcon Street. All the shops had closed, and only the police sirens could be heard from a few blocks away. But aside from that, everywhere was clear."You got here earlier than I thought you would," Jasper said as Mason approached. "And I see you came fully prepared. You have your mask on, just like I told you to.""Yours is way cooler," Mason said with a warm smile as he observed Jasper. He was dressed up nicely, with a green mask that covered his eyes all the way down to his nose. But aside from that, he couldn't see any weapons with him, and he wondered why."Are you going in without a weapon?" Mason asked, and Jasper gave him a lukewarm smile."I don't need one. I have an ability reserv
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,
