2025-01-26 11:16:55"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 reminds me, what's up with that flying fireball you created? are you a witch or something?" Jason asked as he seemed to have remembered something. "No. I am a Saint. While my brother is a Knight" Aletta giggled as she shook her head. "There are four kinds of Mystique Hunters.. Saints, Summoners , Knights and Xpers" she added, noticing the look of confusion on Jason's expression. "Look Jason.. what do you think of Vampires? I mean the one you watch in the movies and tv shows?" she suddenly asked. "Huh? they have pale skin.. super strength, super speed, tough bodies and they drink blood. Uhm, their weakness is direct sunlight, a stake to the heart and holy water. Oh.. they can die as well if their heads is sliced off" Jason easily answered. Of all the lores in the movies, the Vampires were the most renowned. There were a lot of movies and series centered around them after all. "Unfortunately, Vampires are nothing like those shows and movies depict them to be. Sure they have their supernatural abilities, they don't fear sunlight, decapitation, a stake to the heart or holy water" "Seriously? aren't they invincible then?" Jason gave Aletta and Stephen a suspicious look. "To regular humans yes. However not for we Mystique Hunters. Only a Mystique Hunter can battle these kind of supernatural creatures, however not everybody can be a Mystique Hunter. We possess a unique gift that was either awakened through us when we were babies or after an accident" Aletta took a pause to catch her breath before she continued. "Saints like me have the unique ability to enter a contract with a Patron Angel, allowing us to channel an esoteric force called Hallow. This gives us the ability to recite Hexes. What you saw me do yesterday was reciting a fire Hex off my Hex Tome . However Hallow is a powerful force so we need a conduit " Dipping her hands into her bossoms, Aletta held up a rosary. Unlike other rosaries, this one was pure White like snow and depicted an angelic being clasping both hands together in a prayer like manner. The figurine wore flowing robes and has a bright halo like ring floating above their head. "I thought Angels have wings" Jason commented when he saw the rosary. "That's just rumors. Angelic wings is a sign of power. Only the top three Angelic Orders possess one. I am contracted to the lowest order. The Watcher Angels" Aletta replied. "His name is Nephi. And although he belongs to the lowest Angelic Order, he's very strong. I can barely use ten percent of his power without destroying this holy rosary " Peering closer, Jason noticed fine but thin cracks along the surface of the rosary. "So this Rosary is kind of like a conduit to possess angel energy? and you are telling me that you have a guardian Angel sitting across your shoulder?" Jason mused. "Although it's not that simple, but it pretty much sums it" Aletta shrugged. "That's crap.." Aiden snickered. "Huh?" "Guardian Angel? I don't believe that make believe kids tale. If Angels really do exist, they wouldn't have sat back and watch a demon massacre through my home and murder my father" "I.." Aletta made to reply when Stephen tapped her shoulder lightly before whispering. "Just give him some time to grieve " . . After that conversation with Aletta which went haywire, the car ride plunged into an awkward silence. Stephen kept himself occupied with his smartphone, Aletta had her focus on the road ahead while Jason... Well, he was staring at a panel screen that only him could see. . . —[You have two Unread Notifications] A string of words appeared on the panel screen. Mentally clicking on this floating tab, a new row of words appeared. —[Congratulations on Awakening the Ultimate Mystique Hunting System. Host has received a starter pack!] —[Stater Pack Includes three essential Items that would assist Host in his early days of Mystique Hunting] —[First Item in the Starter Pack is the Void Vial] —[Second Item is the Sprite Pupils] —[Third Item is the Klypt Daggers] —[The Void Vial is a rare treasure that has been long lost to the annals of ancient history. Forged by the genius forge master Saluma in the Forges of Xectate, this Vial possess the unique ability of unlimited space and can hold any non sentiment matter property. This includes Liquid, Solid or Gas. Since the space is unlimited, there is no limit to how much matter the vial can handle] —[However like everything that exists, the Void Vial has a weakness. It can only store up a single matter at once. To store up another matter, the previous matter must be emptied out of the vial] —[The Sprite Pupil is a cheap knockoff item.. another treasure forged in the Forges of Xectate. It is said to mimic the unique ability of the occular technique; Eye Of the Dragon. This artificial pupil gives the bearer the ability to see through invisible objects, invisible being and the true nature of all things that belongs to the supernatural world. In front of this eye, all forms of disguise is laid bare as long as it is related to anything supernatural] —[However like everything that exist, the Sprite Pupil has a weakness. Using it for a long span causes huge headaches on the bearer, followed by drowsiness and unclear vision. If the Bearer doesn't allow the effect to cool off, they would end up permanently going blind] Jason instinctively shivered when he read this information. Unlike the Void Vial, the Sprite Pupil sounded more like a hot potato to hold on to. Trying his best to bury his fright, he continued reading. —[The Third Item is the Daggers Of Cain.. Unlike the previous two items, this is Hell's number one protected treasure. Said to have been forged out from the Wings of all the fallen Angels along with Lucifer in the fiery flames of Purgatory, this Twin Daggers has the unique ability to kill all supernatural beings in existence] —[However the Daggers Of Cain currently possess a weakness.. they are damaged. In their damaged state, the effect of their absolute death inducement is limited. The daggers can regain their full strength by absorbing the essence of all supernatural beings slained by it] After reading these info on the panel screen, it immediately refreshed, before a new display appeared on the panel screen. . . —[HOST INFO] —Name: Jason Chris —Alias: J.C —Titles: None —Race: ¢§%£~¥€^¢¥√£€^^¢¥ππ√€^¥ —[COMBAT] —Charm Stats: Locked —ARMOR —Locked (100,000 mystique coins to unlock) —[Missions] —None —[Mystique Coins] —None —[Tools] —Void Vial (fully awakened) —Sprite Pupil (fully awakened) —Daggers Of Cain (lv1) + —[Inventory] —Void Vial —Sprite Pupil —Daggers Of Cain

"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

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

"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
My Mystique Hunting System Chapter 11 — Punishing Jason
"A Cro..Crocotta?" Jason intently stared at the image of a strange beast on a large old looking tome that Aletta had taken out from her red backpack. The beast had the body of a muscular deer with golden stripes, a neck covered with silver colored lion like mane. Its face resembled that of a wolf, with terrifying looking fangs protruding out from its mouth. However unlike regular wolves, there was a purple colored horn protruding out from the middle of its forehead like a pony. As if that was not enough, it possessed two pair of golden colored hooves and a bunny like tail. Jason's lips twitched when he saw the strange appearance of the beast named the Crocotta. "What kind of sick scientist did this crazy cross breeding?" "You mean mother nature right?" Stephen smirked when he heard his words. "Huh?" "The Crocotta is part of a race of beings known as the Yokais. Nobody knows where they came from except from the fact that they have been existence since the dawn of time. We Myst

Bang! The claws of the Crocottta came to a halt as it crashed against the flat surface of a glowing golden colored axe. "Scram!" A swift kick sent the Crocottta staggering back, just in time for Stephen to leap towards it, chopping his axe at his head in an attempt to decapitate it. "Nice try" the Crocotta regained its footing at the last minute. The muscles on his left arm flexed tightly as he blocked the descending axe with it while sending out a jab towards Stephen's chin with his left arm. "Tch" stomping his right foot, Stephen flicked his wrist, loosening his grip on the axe as he initiated a well executed front flip, landing behind the Crocotta. Unstrapping a small dagger, he threw it towards the back of the Crocotta's head. The daggers swiftly struck their mark, bringing about a pained howl. "I.. hate.. hunters!" the Crocottta snarled angrily as it jumped back, drawing enough distance between itself and Stephen, while his left hand snaked around his head, pulling off t

"Hello, what are your orders please?" a female blonde waitress stopped before a particular table as she flashed its occupants one of her sweetest smiles. "Uhmm.. you must be Stephanie correct?" Stephen scanned his eyes around the restaurant before they fell on the waitress. "As you can see on my badge" the waitress lightly tapped the name badge on her chest. "Yeah. You are right. Would you mind sparing a few minutes of your time? we would like to discuss something with you" Aletta nodded with a smile, exposing her cute set of dimples. "We are record label scouts.. we happened to have come across your cover songs on YouTube.." Stephen hurriedly lied when he noticed the other party was about to decline. "R--Really?!" the waitress named Stephanie instantly showed interest as she glanced at the watch around her wrist. "My shift ends in five minutes.." she informed them, the pace of her breathing suddenly accelerating. "Alright. Meet us outside then " Stephen nodded as he and Alet

Aletta mused to her brother as they slowly exited the hotel building."You saw how adamant Jason was back there and you know that right from a small age he has always gotten what he wanted. Did you seriously expect me to try talking reason with someone like that?" Stephen scoffed."If I didn't know any better I'll say you still haven't gotten over that silly crush. As much as I don't like being a pessimist, Jason isn't worthy of your affections. He is a narcissistic bastard who won't mind using you to achieve his aims " Stephen spat coldly."Look at who is talking? who is it that always winces at the mere mention of Jason becoming a Mystique Hunter huh? no matter how many times you badmouth him, you cannot stop caring about his well-being. You don't want him to go down this wretched path we took " Aletta smiled."You think of him as a little brother.. don't you?" "Shut up " Stephen rolled his eyes."I
