INTERFACE..

.

.

Ghosts.. Demons.. Monsters.. are they real?

You might've heard about them from movies and tv shows. Hell! you might've sensed them under the covers of your sheets. Scared, you might've reported this to your parents as a child who only dismisses this as a childish tantrum and told you that it was going to be alright.

Told you to not be afraid..

However should you?

Hell no! You should be afraid! because these monsters are not just a figment of your imagination.. they are real!

Believe me, I know this because I hunt them down myself!

I am Jason Chris.. A Mystique Hunter!

.

.

.

Vroom!

A black sedan pulls over at the entrance of a night club glowing with brilliant neon light, making it extremely conspicuous in the darkness of the night.

Three teenagers alight from the sedan as they stare at the night club before them.

"J.C, I don't think coming here is a good idea" after eyeing the two unfriendly looking bouncers at the entrance, one of the teens couldn't help but develop second doubts.

Her name was Aletta and she was the only female among the group.

"Don't worry. The dude I bought the ID from swears it's a fake legit. Not even the FBI would be able to tell" the teen at the middle patted his chest with a confident expression.

Jason Chris.. he was the spoilt trust fund brat of the multi billionaire tycoon Simone Chris. Sporting raven black hair and a well chiseled body, Jason appeared to be a lot more developed than the average teenager.

"Why don't you ease up Aletta? today is our last day at highschool. Shouldn't we at least have some fun?" the last teen in the group shrugged his shoulder.

Stephen.. sporting a build far more muscular than Jason, Stephen appeared to be only a tad bit inferior to the two mean looking bouncers.

However compared to his build, his chubby face made his appearance more comical than domineering.

"Your brother is right Aletta. You should ease up a little bit " Jason licked his lower lips, anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Fine. But I am only going to have one shot!" Aletta finally gave in.

"Suite yourself"

Swaggering towards the night club, the two bouncers stationed at the entrance moved, blocking Jason's path

"This place is strictly on invitation" the one at the left grunted.

"Here" Jason flashed a decoratively looking card before their eyes. Only after sternly inspecting and confirming it was legit did they nod their heads.

"You can go"

"Uhm. Those two came with me as well" Jason pointed towards Aletta and Stephen who were behind him. Aletta was already starting to fidget anxiously.

Boom!

The trio had just stepped into the nightclub when the loud noise of dj disco music almost blasted their ear drums into a bloody mush. Staring at the bustling scene before him, Jason chuckled with excitement as he screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Let's have some fun!!"

.

.

Clop. Clop. Clop.

A pair of red heels collided gracefully on the ground as a lady in red cocktail dress cat walked towards the night club. A white fox furred coat was drapped loosely over her, slightly exposing her fair and supple neck bones.

Her lips were painted fiery red and her ginger red flowy hair was drapped over her shoulder.

When the two bouncers saw her approaching, they reacted for a moment before regaining their composure.

"Show us your invitation" although they were attracted to her beauty, they didn't allow that to come in the way of their job.

They were strictly told not to let anyone through the door without them showing proof of invitation.

"Ah.." the ginger beauty covered her small lips as she let out a small yelp of surprise.

"I seem to have forgotten it back at my place. Can't you let me in without it?" while speaking, a pink glow flashed in her eyes for a split second.

The Bouncer at the left made to deny her request when his colleague besides him beat him to the punch.

"Sure!" his lips split into a fawning smile as he gave way.

"What are you doing buddy? you can't just let her pass without an invite!" his colleague stared at him, appearing puzzled.

"I did. Because she said so!"

"You're crazy man " the bouncer at the left made to block the path of the ginger haired beauty.

"Deal with him now would you ?" the gingered haired beauty flicked her fingers as she walked past the shocked bouncer.

"Hey--" before the bouncer could finish his sentence, his colleague rushed towards him, tackling him to the ground.

"What are you doing buddy? get the hell off me!" he demanded angrily as he attempted to push the other man off him.

"I will deal with you because she said so!" his colleague seemed to be hypnotized as he fished out a pocket knife from his back pocket.

Splurt!

Gurgle!

The bouncer underneath choked on his blood as he held his slit up throat while his hypnotized colleague slowly dragged his dying corpse away.

While all this was happening, the ginger haired beauty had already made her way into the nightclub.

.

.

"You lose again amigo"

"Damnit!" downing another shot of vodka, Jason cussed as he glared at the tattooed man who chuckled while packing stacks of cash off the poker table.

This was the third poker game he had played so far, which ended in his loss, like the two games before it.

Just as Jason made to down another shot, he heard an alluring voice sound from behind him.

"You really suck at this"

Looking over, he noticed a gingered haired beauty in a red cocktail dress staring at him, with an amused smile.

"What do you know? I always beat my poker instructor at every game. He's a renowned grandmaster" Jason snorted with annoyance.

His voice was already starting to slur, thanks to the alcohol in his system.

"Hmm. Is that right? then it is either your instructor is a sham.. or he just likes letting you win" the ginger haired beauty chuckled as she occupied the vacant spot of the sofa, next to Jason.

"I'm Alicia" she smiled sweetly at him.

"Tch. Not interested. As you can see I gambled away all the cash on me so.. except you offer free service...?" Jason hiccuped.

"Whoa. What does a sixteen years old like you know? you think I am a hooker?" Alicia giggled with amusement.

"What the f ck! how do you know my age?! who the hell are you?!" Jason shot up to his feet, glaring at Alicia warily.

"Hehehe. I know so many things about you.. Jason Chris.." seeing the current expression on Jason's face, Alicia licked her lower lips.

"Jason?" just then a surprised voice rang from behind them as Aletta and Stephen made their way over.

When they saw Alicia, shock and panic flashed in their eyes. However they quickly covered it up.

"J.C who is this hottie?" Stephen patted Jason on the shoulder as he nudged towards Alicia who currently had an amused smile on her lips.

"Dunno. She suddenly approached me and knows both my age and name.. we have to get out of here now guys, before we get busted!"

"Yeah. Yeah. I think that's a good idea J.C" Stephen nodded like hen pecking on grains.

Giving Alicia one last look, both siblings supported Jason's drunk figure through the backdoor of the nightclub.

"What a surprise. Looks like some nosy people beat me to the punch " Alicia mumbled in amusement as she watched the trio leave.

    Drip. Drip. Drip. The sound of sneakers colliding against wet mushy grass echoed in the silence of the night as Jason stood before the gigantic gates of the Chris Manor. Currently the large gate was left ajar. Lying a few feets away was a corpse who Jason identified as one of the Manor's Security Guards. "What the hell?!" an ominous feeling couldn't help but creep into Jason's heart as he sped towards the large Manor Building. Along the way, he ran past more than ten corpses carelessly laying around. However Jason was too worried about his parents condition to pay the corpses any heed. "Mum! Dad!" Aiden cried with hints of dread as he hurriedly pushed open the Manor Entrance door. Looking over, his face became ashen when he spotted a corpse at the foot of the staircase. It was the corpse of the Manor's Head Maid. "No!" Jason's lips trembled. Miss Nicholas. She was his Nanny and also his wet nurse when he was a little baby. She was like a second mother figure to him. Yet here

    "You've been silent since we hit the road. Is something going on your mind?" Aletta glanced at Jason through the rear view mirror as she controlled the wheels of the car.Besides her was Stephen who was busy scrolling through the screen of his phone."Well..I don't know" Jason shrugged with a helpless sigh."I remember a certain someone complaining to me how it was difficult to move the wheels of a car. Yet here you are twirling it around like a seasoned expert ""Look, I'm really sorry for those years of lying. We were just doing that to protect you okay?" Aletta sighed apologetically."Yeah. Yeah. Protect me by lying directly to my face all this time. You guys should definitely win the award for best friends of the decade " Jason snickered sarcastically."So, where are we going exactly?" he asked after a pause."To restock. Our supplies are running dry. Without them we cannot protect you and do our jobs" Aletta replied, her eyes fixated on the road ahead."Supplies? yeah that remind

    "Why did we stop?" Jason was forced to close the system panel screen when he noticed the vehicle come to an abrupt halt."We are just going to grab some stuffs. Till then make sure you wait in the car. Whatever you do don't step out alright?" Aletta warned Jason sternly as she got down from the car.The car was currently parked in the parking lot of a convinence store."Hm" Jason merely hummed."Let's go " Stephen gave Jason one long look before leaving the car as well. Jason watched silently as both siblings made their way into the convinence store. It was currently late noon and the inflow of customers was very high. As such both Siblings were instantly drowned amongst the large crowd of people making their way in and out of the store.Only after Jason had confirmed their departure did a sly grin grace his lips. Opening his palm, a strange object suddenly materialized, landing on his palm.It was a pair of crimson colored pupil lenses . This was one of the three items of the starter

    "Good afternoon, what can I get you both?" the female shop assistant smiled at two Siblings from behind a booth. Aletta silently fished out a strange azure colored card. When the female shop assistant saw this card, a mixture of surprise and shock flashed in her face as she bowed her head respectfully. "I had no idea. My boss had been expecting you" she said while standing up. "Don't bother. We know our way around" Stephen coldly said as he began to walk deeper into the convinence store. Moments later, the siblings arrived at a wall; a dead end. However, Stephen suddenly slit his thumb with a pocket knife, rubbing his bleeding finger across the surface of the wall. Click. Clack. The sound of mechanical gears whirling, echoed like a groaning nagging old hag as the wall split open, revealing the elevator door behind it. "Tch. I don't get why she has to go through all this security protocol. She's just a pawn shop runner" Stephen rolled his eyes as he slid the azure card into a

    After putting on the Sprite Pupils, Jason's vision experienced a change. His view of the whole world went red and the X-ray vision effect kicked in. However apart from that, Jason was now able to see the Malevolent's invisible body clearly. "My left" stomping heavily on the ground, he lurched to his right, dodging an incoming bike that smashed against the wall behind him. Leveraging on the Sprite Pupils, Jason discovered that the crimson halo encasing the Malevolent suddenly transform into multiple tentacle like serpents that lunged towards him. Their movement was so fast that before Jason could have any thoughts of escaping, they had already arrived before him. Smack! However to Jason's puzzlement, he didn't feel any sharp stinging pain. Instead he felt an invisible but heavy force smash against his chest, throwing him against the wall. "Koff. Koff" wiping off the blood trickling out from his mouth, he side rolled just in time to escape another crimson tentacle from the Malevol

    "Is it just me? or is the car awfully quiet?" Jason forced out a chuckle. Since the trio hit the road after making that stop at AW Pawn Shop, the ride had been heavily ladden with stifling silence. At first Jason didn't mind the silence as he busied himself with observing the azure colored card he was given after submitting the Ghost Ash of the Malevolent he had killed. However after training his eyes on the card for a whole hour and counting, Jason's eyes were already starting to water and the immensity of boredom crashed heavily on him. "I don't see how that's a problem.. we didn't speak much on the car ride earlier today" Aletta clicked her tongue.. This time it was Stephen behind the wheels while she scrolled through her phone in a relaxed manner. Jason snickered inwardly. How couldn't he tell the reason for the silence. "Somehow I have a feeling that you both are not ready to acknowledge the fact that I can take care of myself. I mean, I killed a Malevolent. And according t

    —[TITLE CARD: A NIGHT AGO] "Double Kill!" "Headshot! Bravo!" The sound of an electronic announcement followed by loud gunshots rang out as two male teenagers sat before a plasma TV, their fingers clenched tightly around the game pad they were holding. The room they were currently occupying was dimly lit and littered with snack wraps and dirty clothes. It was the total definition of a messy hygiene. "Dude. What's up with you huh? your Kill rate is less than normal" one of the teens sneaked a glance at his companion. He sported a head full of copper colored hair and appeared chubby. As for his companion, he had a slender build with a wavy cut sleek black hair. Ignoring the question, the black haired teen sneaked a glance at his phone resting on the nearby stool. His jaws clenched nervously. "Dude" his companion caught his body movement. "Don't tell me you are seriously waiting for that phone call from your mum?" he chuckled, his tone laced with mockery and amusement. "I mean,

    "So, what's our game plan right now?' Aletta stared at Stephen deeply as she munched on her sauce coated fries. The trio were currently having breakfast together at the dining table. "I just finished reading the testimonial of a victim who according to him survived the strange incident" Stephen replied as he patted the newspaper on the table. "According to him, what ever happened, it happened so fast. One second he was looking behind him and the next, his room mate was a cold corpse with a half eaten heart besides him " "Blergh!" Jason suddenly covered his mouth as he seemed to be on the verge of puking.. "Sorry Princess, is something wrong?" Stephen smirked. "If you want to be a Mystique Hunter like us, forget gory talks, you'll see much worse" he added as he sipped from his glasses of milk. "So, what do you think we are dealing with here? a Malevolent?" Aletta pursed her lips. "There's only one way to find out".. "Sorry kiddos, but this is a crime scene. Only authorize

    Bang! Bang! Bang! Jason's arms moved in rapid succession as he blocked the karate chops from the skinny Malevolent with both Klypt daggers, while continuously being forced on the defensive. "I still don't get why you told me your origin story.. I see no connection between that and the current situation.." Jason tried to attack the other party from the left, only for his sneaky attack to be blocked as he was forced stumbling back. "Considering I'm in a good mood, I won't mind spelling it out for you. I'm currently on a crucial brink of a breakthrough and I'm just lacking a crucial key.. you are that key young Kincie.. once I devour your soul, I will be able to reach that level!" The skinny Malevolent suddenly opened his mouth wide, however Jason seemed to have been anticipating this same attack. Hurling the left dagger towards the Malevolent, the dagger missed his cheeks by a large margin as it sank straight through the ground. Ignoring this, Jason waved the right dagger in f

    —[Host has vanquished the level 2 Malevolent]—[Host has received +250 Mystique Coins] Panting lightly, Jason stared at the pile of ghost ash around him before heaving softly. He had already forgotten how many Malevolents he had killed. "Lesser level two Malevolents are easy as pie, same as greater level 2 ones.." he wiped off the sweat trapped underneath his nose as he stared at the monoliths in the distance. He had yet to encounter a Malevolent stronger than a greater level 2 Malevolent. Honestly, Jason was beginning to get bored. It was no fun if he could just kill the opponent in one shot. Six more Monoliths glowed briefly as their residents lurched towards Jason. Exchanging a couple blows with them, Jason analyzed them to be greater level 2 Malevolents. Just when he decided to get serious and finish them off, an awfully large Monolith unexpectedly released a glow from his left. Bang! Its resident had just made an appearance when he charged towards Jason, knocking away the

    "Tch" Jason held the right Klypt dagger in front of his face as he vigilantly observed the three Malevolents who now had him surrounded. There was specifically a female and two males in the line up. Just then, the large Malevolent made the first move as it raced towards him, bringing another hammer punch down on his head. "Tch. Not gonna happen!" Jason blocked the punch with the right Klypt dagger, the residue force caused his left knee to almost kiss the ground. The female Malevolent slapped her palms on the ground causing a ripple like effect as a pair of arms condensed from plasmic energy emerged from the ground, slamming down towards Jason. It was akin to a giant palm about to slap an annoying fly into mush. "Hngh!" Jason's wrist flexed intensely as he managed to break out from the deadlock, using the opportunity to leap towards his left Bang! The female Malevolent snorted when her attack failed. Initiating a double back flip, Jason made sure to create a reasonable distan

Although Kincies had the ability to see Malevolents, Dr. Damian warned him that he couldn't access that ability in his current level."No mission reward was included?" Jason pursed his lips in confusion after he finished reading the system notifications that had just popped up. He finally had the time to observe his surroundings and immediately sucked in a cold breath. The system said he was going to enter an Haunt.. not this! Scanning his eyes around, all what Jason could see was a wide expanse of grassland that stretched so far it didn't seem to have an end. The grass were as tall as humans and were completely blood red, almost like they just survived a downpour of blood. As if that wasn't enough, the atmosphere was bleak.. and like the cliche statement in books.. it smelt of

    "I thought I was given a one week break? why are we still training when it's barely been twenty four hours?" Jason groaned as he walked into the gym room within the mansion. However currently, all that gym equipment were carefully arranged at a corner of the spacious gym room. Standing at the middle was Dr. Damian, still clad in his pjs and a candy cane sticking out from his lips. "Don't worry. When your real training begins, you'll know. Right now, just think of this as prep class.. surely you attended prep class right?" Dr. Damian grinned when he saw Jason clad in a karate robe. "Plus.. you don't seem to mind? you didn't even hesitate when I informed you about your abrupt training session." his brows squinted. "Tch. Let's just get this over with" Jason went into a stance.
