It was dark outside as Elisa pulled over at the front of a penthouse. The house was surrounded by unusual tread of flowers and plants. But the garage was clear enough for the cars which had already been parked. Nine cars. Including hers. She was walking in a haste towards the door. Immediately, she pushed the door open,"Really, Elisa? What is this about?""You called us and told us that it was urgent.""I can't believe that you could keep us waiting.""But then, what is this sudden call all about? I should be tending to my own business at the moment and not running around at this hour of the day."Regardless of the criticism that met her in the way, Elisa made sure to settle down first before she took each of the women waiting for her, in her gaze. "I'm sorry. Something came up on my way. I should have been here sooner. Apologies."She was breathing heavily as though she had just finished some race, as opposed to the fact that she came in a Lamborghini"So what is this about? You d
"You did what!""What!""What are you two talking about?""What did you do?""You killed who?"The tension in the room had grown to indicate restlessness. Earlier, the women were a little confused and optimistic, but now they were clueless and flustered. The way the situation seemed at the moment, it was safe to say that only Ayisha and Allison were informed about the particular situation. The rest seemed lost."Who is going to talk? What is happening here?""Why is everyone keeping quiet?""How many of you knew about it? Somebody talk."No one felt safe anymore. Each girl was beginning to suspect her neighbour. "It was all my idea."Allison started. The bewilderment in the faces of the rest of the women was quite alarming. "Ayisha tried to talk me out of it, but then, since she couldn't talk me out of it, she assisted me."Neither of the rest of the girls said anything yet. It was as though they were still having a hard time believing what the two were on about. Eyes would move
The whooshing wind gradually became fiercer, and it started to brew a whirlwind. The force was strong and the height slowly and steadily increasing. Damien was walking through a silent forest. It was getting darker, and the atmosphere was creeping up the moon. A tiny dark cloud stepped over the moon for a while, leaving its light spoken for. By the wiles of the night. The forest was clothed in thick darkness for that sheer second. And in the blink of an eye. A force from nowhere picked him up and knocked him down. It was hard to tell what force it was precisely. It could be the whirlwind or something which was much more powerful. But the point at that moment was the fact that he was eating dust. Lying on his face, face buried in the sticky, muddy, and damp earth.He tried to groan, but he couldn't hear his own voice. It was as though his voice had been muffled by some supernatural force. He was very worried about why he couldn't speak up. He tried to lift himself from the mud and
"I'm so sorry to interrupt your fun, Young Master."Leroy started, hardly looking him in the eyes. Damien didn't appear to have a problem with that. At least not yet. "But words have travelled quickly about your return. And the family demands to have an audience with you."Damien stopped sipping from the disposable can and took a serious gaze at Leroy. "Family? What family?"Leroy took a glance at him this time. "I understand that you must be mad to hear me mention them. They have no right to demand to see you. But they just want to be sure that you are the one."Leroy's voice started to have an edge to it as though he was trying to be careful and chosey with words. "It's not a must for you to come, of course. You have the absolute right to say no to them. I only thought it was right that I bring your notice to the dema---""I will meet with them."Damien interrupted. His interruption obviously caught Leroy off guard. "You will, Young Master? I mean, you don't have to. You can't
"Wh--what the hell...""What is happening?""Why are there so many of him?""How did this happen?""What is happening?"The whole group was beginning to fidget. They were scared out of their wits. Some of them were already pissing their pants. Some shaking and some holding unto their neighbours for support. The boss himself had sweat pooling in both temples. The lad who was next to him had mucus running from one nostrils to the other. He had a tough time picking up the phlegm. As much as Damien was enjoying the sight, yet he felt a little dissatisfied by the scene. At once, they all dropped on their knees. It was an urban world. A natural one. None of the group members could have imagined that a normal person would have been able to pull such a spiritual stunt.And the fact that Damien was able to attain such a nerve wrecking prowess, it would only take common sense to register that he was not a normal person. "Please forgive us. We were not in our right minds. We shouldn't have d
Damien stood at the opening of an alley, looking down at the end. Though the houses on the right and left were super tall. They were row houses, yet the distance from where he was standing to the end of the alley wasn't too far. So, he could make a visual judgement of those who were standing at the end. He shut his eyes for a while. There were a couple of things going on in his mind. When next he opened his eyes, they glowed. "Let's see which of these powers I still have in check. The last time, I could only use the Zoom function and make my eyes glow."He shut his eyes again and concentrated the energy. That was all he needed to get the spiritual strength working and charge his inner man up. When he swiped the hand up, he felt shades of lights on the back of his close eyelids. When he opened his eyes, he saw a window pop-up right in front of him. [Ping! Functions available in full display.]He read through the window,[Ping! The Zoom function.][Ping! The Nether infinity map.][P
"What should I do with yoi?"Damien heard Ari say. He had a strong conviction that the lad in flashy clothes was obviously Ari. Arigota Nagazumi."Not only do you covet my babe, you also ruined my sneakers. Do you have an idea how much that cost me? 70k!!! Have you ever seen, let alone, have such huge money in your entire pathetic life?"Ari lashed at the lad who knelt in the middle of the group. There was a lady amongst them. "His babe?"Damien muttered, looking somewhat confused. "Did he just say he has a babe? Is that girl with them his babe?"As he asked that question, as though the girl heard him, she leaned forward and kissed Ari in the lips. Damien's eyes widened. "This bastard. He has a babe, and he's trying to impress my daughter? What is his motive?"Damien was tempted to approach him at once. He wanted to beat the words out of Ari. But then he realised that there was much more to getting information. And to think of it, his class was beyond the ordinary. So, he shouldn't
"Thank you for coming to my aid."The lad said to Damien. His green eyes lit up his whole face. He was good-looking but unkempt. And because of that, his beauty was hidden. "Are you in the same department as he?"Damien asked. The lad nodded. "I shouldn't have given the letter to her. I've written so many of them, which I ended up trashing. I have no idea what got over me this time. If I had trashed it like the rest, perhaps this wouldn't have happened to me."Damien gazed softly on the lad as he spoke. Damien sighed, looking away for a while. "Don't beat yourself up for confessing your feelings. Nobody should be made to feel that way because of their feelings. It just happens that some people are not worthy of our sincere emotions. They prefer living in the illusion of class and recognition. They need social validation to feel alive. They are like walking dead. They have no life for themselves. They are the most pathetic of all human beings."Those words of Damien comforted the la
Damien felt the scale fall of his eyes like a pair of glasses. He was on one knee, and his other knee pushed up. The position he was assuming was as though he was taking a sort of bow. When the realisation of recent events hit him, he quickly raised his head. He could feel no pain at all. He found himself in an empty white hall. The opulence and brightness of the hall was second to known. He couldn't really be sure what he had to take from this current state. But one thing that he knew for sure was the fact that he was no longer on the island. There was no part of the island that looked this way. Deep inside of him, he could feel that this hall felt like a familiar place. It was as though a remote part of him was trying so hard to reach a conclusion. Suddenly, he heard a sound behind him. It was a wheezing sound which was followed by a sequence of laboured breathing. He turned around at once. He wanted to be cautious. Though he recalled that he had beaten and defeated the Samurai
Damien's eyes popped out when he saw the Samurai. He shook his head and blinked a couple of times. He wasn't satisfied with that, so he closed his eyes for a while, then opened it again. He did that several times. He wanted to be sure that he was in his right mind and was not seeing things. There were a whole lot of things which he had just learnt just now. Things which he had been a fool believing the wrong context in the first place. Perhaps because he was overthinking things, that's why he was beginning to see things. But then he saw the Samurai smiling at him amidst the cannibals. There were so many reasons for Damien to be very surprised. As it seemed, the cannibals didn't know that the Samurai was in their midst. Damien quickly looked around the stadium. None of the people could see the Samurai, too. He was the only one seeing the Samurai!This got Damien quite confused and worried. He started to question his own sanity. He started to question the fact that whether or not al
Damien felt dumbfounded as he stared at the man who had just made the announcement. Perhaps his ears were playing some tricks on him, and he couldn't make the appropriate meaning of what the man had said. But immediately the man finished saying those words, the man fell on his knees in a heartfelt bow. In the blink of an eye, all the people in the stadium suddenly went on their knees in bows, too. Damien was so speechless that his head was blank. Why did things keep taking a different route every time he thinks he got things figured out?He tried to recall what the man had said about him. The man had addressed him with so many titles. There were so many titles he was already acquainted with, but he didn't know that quite a number of people were accessible. There were so many questions that arose in his mind. From where did this ocean of people come? He didn't remember reading in the news that people from Vegas would come to the island to celebrate the party. He didn't know what to
It was morning. Damien was lying in bed. His eyes slowly opened. He shut them and then opened them again. He felt a certain change in his body. He felt very light and refreshed. He felt like a newborn baby. He tried to recall what had happened before he fell asleep. The last memory that raced through his mind was when he was bitting at a nipple as he felt his body go into a state of shock. He recalled that he felt relieved after a flood of juice poured from the cap of his D. He smiled at the memory. He had never felt that better in a while."They were like Jada into five places." He muttered. Suddenly, something occurred to him. He sat up at once. He sniffed for a while. "Why is there no smell? Why does everywhere smell like nothing happened at all?" He became suddenly alert. He picked up his phone and checked. 12P.M."Oh shit." He jumped off the bed. It was 12 pm! Why was he still in bed? He shouldn't be in bed at this time of the day. "Today is the party! I shouldn't be her
Damien didn't react in a weird way. It's been a while since he had sex. Whenever he felt horny he would jerk off occasionally. It wouldn't be a bad idea if he just let himself go for this one time. After all, he would need his head clear for what he wants to do tomorrow. The five ladies rubbed their warm body on him, but he couldn't feel much because he was still putting on clothes. It was warm bodies to his hard suit. "Come with us." The ladies urged. One lady held the left arm, another the right arm, two at the front and one at the back. For a sheer second, he almost mistook the ladies for bodyguards instead of workers. He used the palmprint, and the door was pushed open. He was led straight to the room. With just one finger, he was pushed into the king-sized comfy bed. "Just relax, cutie. You don't have to do anything. Just stay relaxed." One of the ladies said. He wasn't planning to struggle with them in the first place. There were a whole lot of ways to have fun, but he had
About an hour later, Damien was sitting in the adorned chair in the meeting hall. It was time for the meeting. There were distinguished men settled at the table with him. The men looked quite excited to see him. He, on the other hand, was worried about a number of things. ONLY IF I HAD THE MAP, ONLY IF I DO. He couldn't help but ponder this over and over again. "If you will, Mr Kevin. We will start the meeting now." A man said, leaning forward to the mic. Damien nodded at the man. He looked at each corner of the table. There was a generous number of men present. But he wasn't interested in counting them. "Forgive us for not asking about your experience while coming to the island. I know that you are a wealthy man who loves to travel a lot. You must have seen a lot of things, yet it would be lovely to know what your experience was." The man said, smiling at Damien. Looking at as many faces as he could, Damien could tell that the men were pleased with him. They were acting like d
Damien couldn't think of what to say. What was stunning was the fact that the men were right there!!! How did they find him? Did they put a tail on him to track him in case he left his suite?Damien didn't really know what to make of this. But what was more important was the fact that he had just been discovered by the organisers. "It's you, Mr Kevin." One of the men stepped forward. Damien didn't find any reason to hold back anymore. He closed the pace. "What are you doing here, though? We thought that you would be in your suite?" Another man asked. Damien knew that he couldn't tell them the truth. And even if he wanted to tell them a lie, he would have to be quite sophisticated with it. "Well, I was just curious about all of this. When I was escorted by that lad, I didn't have the opportunity to look around. The lad was quite impatient with his duty. I guess the beauty of this space could not keep me in one place. Hence, I came looking around." Damien defended. He wasn't sure
No matter how hard Damien thought about this, it didn't make any sense to him. He was trying so hard to recall the last time that he visited the island. The last time he was here was when he was with Ari. How many months has it been that he was gone from this island to bring such a drastic and mouth-watering change?If Vegas was a country founded on the concept of magical realism, he wouldn't have had to worry much. If Vegas had the spiritual roots like the Nether realm where places could be transformed in the blink of an eye. Where virtual locations could be created and made to replace the old scenes. If those were the cases, Damien wouldn't have been this alarmed. He wasn't only shocked by these changes. He was crushed by awe. He couldn't see through the window of the car. The glasses were tinted. He didn't make a fuss about it. Not long after, the car came to a stop. The young man stepped out to get the door for him. The young man was different from the driver. The man got the
[Ping! Restoring system's activities.][Ping! Yacht-driving skill was exchanged with Map function.]Damien stared at the notifications pop-up of the system that was hanging in the air right in front of his eyes. He didn't know what to feel in precise. "The map function?" He quizzed. The map function was equally as important as the ZOOM function. He knew this, so it was quite hard for him to choose the perfect relation to this. What he had in mind while coming to the island this early was to first locate the cannibals before going to join the organisers of the party events. He didn't think that would be anyway possible anymore. How was he supposed to find them now that he didn't have the map of the system?He sighed. "Such a useless bitch!" He grunted, taking the window down. When he raised his head, he saw a set of few ladies standing at the opening of the island. He squinted his eyes to be sure whether or not he would be able to make a mental judgement of who the ladies were.
