Mason sat on his seat at the back of the class as he went through his books. And for the first time since he began Avalon school, he was able to read at peace without anyone coming to disturb him.

Soon though, the school bell rang indicating that the school break was over. And a few moments later, the student in class D began trooping into the class just as Mr Gibson, the history teacher came walking in.

"Ugh, history class again!" A girl with raven coloured hair complained while the whole class bursted out laughing.

"I know you hate history class Debby, but I'm sorry to break it to you, the school pays me to do my job so I'm going to do my job." Mr Gibson replied with a smile as he dropped the history textbook on the table while moving to the front of the table.

"Today is going to be different everyone because we are not going to talk about the history of earth like we normally do in our classes but about the history of the dragon bloods, their weakness, strength and how they can be defeated." Mr Gibson said as he moved in between rows while everyone else seemed to get relaxed as if waiting for the lesson to begin. Even Mason was interested as he had always been his wish to fight against the dragon bloods.

"Like everyone must have guessed right now, the entire world does not truly know the origin of the dragon bloods or where they came from. All we know is that they came to earth hundred of years ago, creaking havoc and destroying all that stood in their sight. Their physical forms are just like that of humans but they are unlike anything you've ever seen or Heard of." Mr Gibson said and paused as he took a look at everyone's faces. And seeing that he had gotten their interest already, he took a deep breathe before continuing.

"The dragon bloods differs from one another and have three different skin colours, each one much more stronger than the next. They are the tan skin, the green skin and the black skin. The ones with the tan skin are tall and muscular like the rest but with piercing serpent eyes and two long horns on their head. They possess pointed ears and can only be defeated by a level 5 ability users and above. The ones with green skin have the same form as the first one but with a tail and scaly skin. They can only be defeated by level 7 ability users and above while the black skin dragon bloods are much more powerful than the rest. They have all the forms of the other two but with strange markings and a crest on their back. They are much more powerful and can only be defeated by a level 8.5 ability users and above. But they all have the same weaknesses, they are vulnerable to magic. So does with the mage ability or saint ability can easily defeat them depending on their levels. Another way to defeat them is to use weapons created from their bones or bones of other high mutated beast. Aside from these, dragon bloods cannot be defeated."

Mr Gibson took a deep breathe as he finished explaining. He could tell from everyone's faces that they were indeed satisfied by his today's lessons. And indeed he was right, everyone was really satisfied. Although they had just learnt of how powerful dragon bloods really were, they were happy to know their weaknesses as well.

Mason on the other hand could not believe his ears, he was really thrilled by everything he had just learned. Becoming a level 7 ability user and above was by no way an easy thing as many got stuck after reaching level 6. Leveling up after that took a lot of time and hard work and only a quite few could achieve that. And this just proved that dragon bloods were indeed really powerful, even much more than he imagined.

"Can I really defeat something like that?" Mason wondered but quickly push the thought away. There was no way he was going to let that stop him. He was going to train and work really hard to become powerful. Besides he had the system now which meant he now had a chance.

"Okay everyone, that's that." Mr Gibson said and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"I have an announcement to make everyone. For those among you who wish to join the neohuman Force and become a hunter. The acceptance exams is coming up in a month. The requirements is to be an ability user and at least a level 1.5. if you're interested, then get a form from the central office and fill it out."

With that, Mr Gibson turned and existed the class, leaving the entire class stunned by the news. Mason on the other hand couldn't hide the joy he was feeling right now. This was his chance, the one he had always been waiting for. But although it was finally here, Mason couldn't help but feel a bit sad about that.

Although he had gotten the system, he still could not figure out what his ability was and how it work. And until he did, he wasn't sure what would happen.

"Hey, you're Mason right? Are you going to try it out?" A voice asked from besides him and Mason turned to see who it was. It was Caleb, a boy with dirty blonde hair and a pointy nose. Strange, Mason thought, although the boy had just transferred to the school, he had never spoken to him before.

"Are you talking to me?" Mason asked with a surprise look and the boy nodded.

"Of course. And I heard what you did to Drake by the way, well we all did. And I just want to say thank you, he really deserved it."

"Yeah. Well, he had it coming anyway. It was only a matter of time before someone did it." Mason replied while scratching his head. It was really awkward talking to someone at Avalon school since he was used to being alone.

"How did you do it by the way? I know you're not an ability user. Or did you awaken one?" Caleb asked and Mason chuckled nervously.

"Of course not. I was just lucky." Mason lied. Well, technically it wasn't a lie as he still did not know what ability he had yet.

"Well, that's quite the luck you got there." Caleb said and they both laughed. "Well, I'm Caleb, Caleb Fae."

"Mason Blackwood." Mason replied as they shook hands.

"So? Are you going to try it out or not? The acceptance Exams I mean."

"I'm not sure about that." Mason replied. "I'm not an ability user and I don't have the required funds so,"

"Come on, cheer up. The exam is one month away. And that's pretty long if you ask me. Anything can happen before then you know? So do not give up just yet." Caleb said and Mason smiled. Somehow he could tell that Caleb was a good guy and that perhaps , they might one day become good friends in the future.

Caleb announced as they came across a huge mansion that was surrounded by peach trees and overlooked a small garden.

He beamed as he stared at the huge mansion before him. "Yes I do. That's my home." Caleb replied with a smile as he kept staring at Mason who was at a lost for words. "But why the reaction bro?

His head was humming and it was few seconds before his vision focus and he could see where he was.He was in his room back at the orphanage with his back laying on the bed. He could easily tell it was his room because of the ceilings and the big, fat poster of the black winter Soldier that hung on his wall. He was his favorite one among the neohumans and Mason had gotten it from the store after saving a lot of money to get it.'But how did I get here?" Mason pondered as he continued staring at the ceilings. The last thing he remembered was him fighting against the mutated razor wolf before strangling it to death.

    "Well then, first thing first, my real name is Jasper Vaughn and I am an original." Jasper said and watched as Mason face turned expressionless."Well, that's surprising. I expected you to be shocked.""Well, I'm not." Mason replied curtly. "I mean I am, but after seeing you fight with so many different abilities all at once, I already guessed that you were an original. I mean how else would you explain that?" Mason explained and Jasper nodded with knowing. He was right, anyone would have come to that conclusion after seeing what he did that night. It's not as if there was any ability user out there in the world who could use multiple abilities all at once."Well, like I said. I'm an original and I come from the Vaughn family that resides in a place unknown to the public. My family is one of the five big original families and our ability is well... You've seen it already. It's called aura manipulation. We are able to sense the flow and Aura of other ability users and are able to tap

    "The best way to stop the other factions is to create our own faction. That way, we will be able to take down the other factions." Jasper said with a huge grin plastered on his face while Mason had a look of shock morphed across his face."What!" He half-yelled. "Are you out of your damn mind Jasper? Is that suppose to be your best plan or what?""Yeah. I mean think about it Mason, what better way to deal with the bad factions than to take matters into our own hands since no one else seems to be helping. With a faction of our own, we could slowly take out the weak ones, stop the robbing and as time goes on and we grow, we could then take out the stronger factions and spread words within and outside of Beverly town of our faction so we can stop other neohumans from ever coming here to do shady things. Just think of it Mason, this way your family can be saved and several thousands others too."Jasper explained and took a moment to calm his breath and as he did, Mason couldn't help but

It was almost midnight now and he still couldn't sleep. Jasper's words still gnawed at his soul and Mason couldn't help but acknowledge that he was right.Creating a faction of their own was indeed the right thing to do. And with the two of them running it, Mason knew without a doubt that things would change for the better here in Beverly town. But the issue was him. He did not know how to go on with it as he was new to all this. Jasper may have been fighting all his life considering his story but it was different when it came to him. He had been a weakling his entire life, a trash as they often called him at Avalon school. And it wasn't until a week ago that he had gotten the system and still had no idea how it worked or why he had gotten it in the first place. And now Jasper was here asking him to be the leader

    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.

    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

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.

    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

    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

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

    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.

"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,
