My Demon System Tbe 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 at his avail
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,
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

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

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.

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.
