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

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

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
