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,
My Demon System 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
My Demon System 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
My Demon System 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
My Demon System 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
My Demon System 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
My Demon System 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 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
