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 she was before him.. a cold corpse. "Mum! Dad!" forcing back the torrent of tears building up within, Jason literally flew through the flight of stairs. Along the way he ran into the corpses of the Manor Maids and servants. The repulsive smell of blood hung thickly in the air. Ignoring the sickening smell, Jason finally arrived at the Kings Room of the Manor. Pushing open the door, he found a figure standing in front of the window. A few meters away were two corpses on the ground. Identifying them as his parent's corpses, Jason attempted to rush towards them only to run into an invisible force field that flung him slamming to the wall. "Don't tell me you are ignoring my presence boy?" a sneer rang out as the figure in the room turned around. "Uncle Ben??!" Jason's eyes flashed with confusion. "Hello Nephew. I take it that you are doing alright?" Uncle Ben snickered as he slowly began to walk towards Jason. "Uncle we have to take my parents to the hospital or they won't be able to make it. I don't know what happened but it would seem that the Manor was attacked. We have to hurry now Uncle!" Jason cried anxiously. "Oh. I know that.." Uncle Ben chuckled as he pointed towards Jason. "That's because I was the one who did this" "You--" Jason suddenly felt an invisible grip on his throat as he got swept off his feet, floating in mid air as the invisible grip choked him. "It would seem you were late.. like always dear Nephew. You are always late. Whether it was the duration of your pregnancy, your first time to talk or walk. You were always late. This isn't good though. You missed the fun part of how your parents screamed in agony while I killed them. It was quite refreshing. The look on your parents eyes as I ripped out the life out of them while in this meat suit. It was quite refreshing actually.." Uncle Ben snickered evily as he arrived before Jason, patting his cheeks. "Don't despair though. You are going to join them very soon.. however you just have to do something for us.." Uncle Ben reached for Aiden's forehead. "Unfortunately this is the end of the road for you!" a feminine voice suddenly rang, followed by a quick chant. "Eugua!" Boom! A searing hot ball of red flames shot towards Uncle Ben. Judging by the intensity of the heat, he would be burnt into black crisp if the ball of flames collided with him. "Tch. Nosy Hunters!" Uncle Ben snickered as he calmly side stepped, dodging the ball of flames. "Jason! duck!" the warning had only just rang out when a figure dropped down from above, a large axe chopping towards Uncle Ben. Splurt! An arm flipped through the air as Stephen appeared in front of Jason. In his grip was a large axe that was glowing a brilliant golden color. "Stephen?" Jason felt the invisible grip vanish as he gave Stephen a puzzled look. "Eugua!" another chant rang out as Aletta walked into the room. A glowing Tome was floating mid air in front of her. A strange pattern suddenly appeared in the air as another ball of flames shot out from this pattern, slamming towards Uncle Ben. "Damnit" Uncle Ben cussed as he dodged the fireball yet again. He seemed to be moving like a phantom. "Till we meet again Nephew" dropping these words, he suddenly raced towards the door, breaking past it and disappearing into the dark of the night. An awkward silence suddenly ensued as Jason gave the siblings before him a look. "What the hell is going on?!" . . Rustle. Rustle. Rustle. Jason calmly stood before a burning altar as he watched his parent's corpses gradually burn into ashes. It was unknown what was going on in his mind. "How are you holding up?" Looking over, he saw Aletta staring at him intently. "What do you think?" Jason's lips broke into a mocking smile. "I came home to see my favorite Uncle murder my parents. My friends are ghost hunters undercover and I am currently targeted by Demons. What do you think?" "Sigh. I don't really expect you to digest everything all at once. However we have to move now" Aletta's tone was filled with urgency. "What the hell are you talking about? my parents just died. Am I not allowed to mourn them?" Jason frowned with displeasure. "I don't mean to come off heartless, but I am afraid you don't have the luxury to do so" "You see that demon who possessed your Uncle Ben? we only scared him temporarily and he won't stop until he has you.. we have to take you to a safe sanctuary " "What would a demon want from me anyways?" Jason was starting to grow frustrated Things just didn't make sense to him at this point. Although he was a spoilt rich brat and a jerk, he never ever recalled pissing off a demon. "We don't know. I and my brother were just tasked to protect you and take you away once you clocked eighteen. We never expected the demon to make a move so fast " Aletta sighed. "So the friendship we shared.. it was all fake?" Jason gave her a deep look. "I..." Aletta didn't know how to reply. "That's okay. Where are we going to anyways?" Jason asked. "Washington DC " "That's pretty far from here. I don't suppose we are going to use a private jet?" "No. Its going to be a long road trip.." "That works fine. I can use that time to have my revenge!" Jason clenched his fist. "Don't start talking crazy now. We were asked to protect you from the demon. Not mark you as a target!" Aletta firmly disagreed. "Hmpfh. If you were in my shoes, don't tell me you are going to sit back? since this demon took the people most important to me, I'm going to have my revenge no matter what it takes" Jason vowed icily. At that moment the hate he was feeling was so intense. "How? I mean you don't even know where this demon is!" "Hmpfh. Didn't you say your brother and you are Mystique Hunters or something? I am going to be one too and I will slaughter any ghost or evil creature that I set my eyes on till the time I have the head of that hateful demon on a plate" Jason had only said this when he heard a robotic voice in his head. —[Congratulations!

"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
My Mystique Hunting System Chapter 6 — First Kill!
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
My Mystique Hunting System Chapter 8 — Voices From The Dead
—[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
My Mystique Hunting System Chapter 10 — The Reverse Flash Killed My Friend!
"Are teenage boys always this lazy?" Aletta held her nose as she stood in front of an old looking bungalow, whose lawn had already transformed into a thick bush of green that was threatening to swallow it up A few distance away, a large swat of flies happily danced around ten filled up garbage sacks oozing with nauseating goo. Forget Aletta, even Jason and Stephen were scrunching up their noses as well. "Do we really have to come here?" Jason rubbed his stomach with an ashen expression. He was starting to regret eating breakfast. First it was that corpse at the cemetery, now this garbage dump of a house! "Sorry Princess, but this is in the job description. You want to be a Mystique Hunter like I and my sister? get used to it!" Patting Jason on the shoulder, Stephen arrived at the porch of the bungalow, landing two successive knocks on the slowly rotting wooden door. Creeerak! Like the slow whining of an old lady, the door slowly slid open leaving just a small gap that allowe

Fwossh! A burning orb rolled towards the cloaked individual, when they suddenly reached into the inner part of their cloak, fishing out a chop stick. A couple of sauce stains could be spotted across the surface of the chop stick. Twirling the chop stick around their fingers, the cloaked individual suddenly hurled it towards the direction of the incoming ball of flames. Bzzzt! Like a racing bolt of lightning, the chop stick streaked across the air, easily blasting the ball of flames into a gazillion pieces of energy fragments. However its trajectory speed barely got affected as it continued moving, disappearing upwards into the sky. As for the Fire Witch and her fellow coven members, they all staggered back in fright. Although they had no idea how the cloaked individual did it, they clearly witnessed how easily the fireball attack was dispelled. This was enough testament of the other party's strength. Not to mention there was that terrifying emblem as well. "So?" Andrea flash

"Lady Andrea!" Andrea had just walked out of the shopping mall when two hefty men in well ironed designer suit rushed up to her, flanking her on both sides as they took her dozen shopping bags she was hugging against her body, taking it to the parked porsche. "Where to Lady Andrea?" Andrea had just entered my into the vehicle when her chauffeur asked of her opinion in a very respectful tone. As for the two other bodyguards, they already boarded a sleek black jeep behind the porsche. "Take me to the spa please.. I'm in dire need of a do over.." Andrea observed her well polished manicures before releasing a sigh. "Yes miss.." the Chauffeur nodded as he started the ignition. And just like that, the vehicle roared into life as an expensive looking porsche rolled out from the premises of the shopping mall, whilst being tailed by a sleek black jeep. A couple minutes after they hit the road, Andrea's brows suddenly twitched in discomfort. The Chauffeur happened to have caught sigh
Chapter 56 — Silver Cross
"Is someone out there?" Jason announced loudly as he trudged through the snow dirt on the ground It's been about three minutes since he heard the scream. However no matter how many times he called out, he never got a reply.. almost like the scream from earlier was nothing but a figment of his imagination. "Shit. What am I even doing?" he inwardly cussed regretfully. "For all I know I might be alone with a bloodthirsty murderer.." he felt chills just thinking about this possibility. "Tch. Stop being a wimp. Weren't you the one who defeated that powerful level 4 Malevolent?" he suddenly heard a familiar voice whisper in his head.. "Well at least no blood was spilled.. this is different. This--" Jason suddenly took a pause as realization dawned on him. "S- Sophia?" "Hehehehe" Hearing this reply completely caught Jason off guard, causing him to suddenly trip resulting in him descending across the snowbank like a rolling snowball . When the fall finally came to a stop, his breat
Chapter 55 — Big Surprises
After the little spat he had with Dr. Damian, Jason felt stiffled staying at the mansion. As such, he decided to take a stroll out. Perhaps due to the aftermath of their conversation, neither Dr. Damian nor Maxwell tried stopping him. As soon as Jason exited the grounds of the mansion, he sucked in a deep breath as he appreciated the natural winter air as he felt the chill creep up on his skin. Trudging across the gradually melting snow on the sidewalks, Jason unconsciously opened the system main command center. 'Check my rewards' —[You have received the following unchecked rewards]—800 Mystique Coins—1 tier 2 soul fruit—1 Tensei Genkai—sjælehøster—1 large chest—2 Skeleton Keys "A soul fruit?" this was Jason's first time encountering this particular reward.. Mentally summoning it from the system, a bundle of light blossomed above Jason as an orb fell on his palm. "This darn system really needs to switch up their naming pattern. " veins appeared on his forehead. Fruit m
Chapter 54 — Flames
Bang! Bang! Bang! Circling around the level 4 Malevolent at his top speed, Jason parried the series of plasmic fists the other party sent his way. The Klypt daggers were like hot knife at work.. it was like there was nothing in the world that they couldn't cut! "Hmph" noticing that Jason was gradually closing in on her, the level 4 Malevolent sneered as she suddenly spun the left axe in her grip, hurling it towards Jason's direction. "Not good!" Jason immediately switched to defense as he crossed both daggers in front of his face. Bang! Although the plasmic axe immediately burst into energy fragments as soon as it made contact with the Klypt daggers, the shockwaves from the collision rattled Jason as he was forcefully knocked flying back while he hacked up a mouthful of blood. Ruthlessly slamming against the ground with his back, Jason struggled to rise up on his feet. He tried grabbing the right klypt dagger that had fallen besides him when the boots of the level 4 Malevolent
Chapter 53 — Benefits Of Being The Boss
"Still stubborn?" the level 4 Malevolent smirked evily as she watched Jason choking for breath. Even if the other party wanted to grovel, they couldn't.. not while she had her heels pressed against his throat. "Hmm.. you are no fun. You can die now!" the level 4 Malevolent retracted her heel briefly before attempting to slam it down against Jason's throat. This time, her stomp contained an even more powerful magnitude. If the blow landed, Jason's neck was going to be crushed! However the young Mystique Hunter seemed to have been anticipating this small opening as he did a side roll, causing the stomp kick to miss. —[Samson has been activated!] Retracting her heel, the level 4 Malevolent closed in on Jason who was struggling to crawl back with his butts. She sent a ruthless kick towards his chest however Jason's arms lifted up in front of his chest at the opportune moment, blocking the blow with the flat part of both daggers that were now crossed against each other. Splurt!
Chapter 52 — Wiping The Floor With
Within a wide expanse of grassland, two figures were engaged in an intense clash. Crouching low a bit, Jason advanced towards the level 4 Malevolent as he slashed the right dagger upwards, it's tip aimed for her throat. "Heh" the lips of the Malevolent curled as she took a relaxed step back, causing the dagger slash to hit empty air. Before Jason could regain his stance, the other party landed a kick on his chest, causing the young Mystique Hunter to merely stagger back a couple feet.. "You kick like a girl.." Jason scorned while twirling the daggers around his fingers. He had seen many Texas rangers in Hollywood movies, use this technique with their revolvers.. he never expected to be so good at it with daggers. "I was just testing you.." "Excuses.." Jason lurched forward, spinning his body mid air as he curved his right arms, stabbing towards the left ribcage of the other party. Puchi! However to Jason's confusion, the attack landed accurately on the mark, causing the M
Chapter 51 — The Boss
—[Samson has been activated!] At that moment, the slight sluggishness Jason was previously feeling suddenly disappeared like a puff. At that moment, he noticed twelve plasmic tendrils rolling towards him. Gripping the hilt of the right dagger tightly, Jason suddenly felt a weird sensation. It was like the strength in his body was mysteriously being transferred into the dagger.. Ignoring the weird sensation, the muscles on Jason's wrist flexed as he hurled the dagger towards the approaching attacks. According to what Jason knew so far, there was no way he could stop an attack condensed from plasmic energy with his physical body.. only the klypt daggers had this ability. Snip! However to Jason's pleasant surprise, the dagger streaked across the air, slicing through the attacks like hot knife through butter as it continued forward, reaping the lives of two peak level 2 Malevolents before losing its momentum. Before it could drop to the ground, Jason recalled the dagger back into t
Chapter 50 — Fatigue
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
