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

—[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
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! 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
Chapter 49 — Mummie From The Planetoid; Shalom
—[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
Chapter 48 — Kenneth Christel
Spreading her arms apart, the head Witch seemed to be fully basked in the rays of the moon as she began a chant in unfiltered Empryeanochian. "Ni Sirbenet muitselesc murallets te allets naretea eanul" "Ni Sirbenet muitselesc murallets te allets naretea eanul" the group of Witches around her chorused in perfect unision..

The twelve tomes that appeared to be mystically linked together suddenly flipped to a particular page as series of mystical characters emerged from within the pages of this tome. Bathed under the brilliant rays of the moonlight, the previously silver colored mystical characters slowly transformed to resemble the light of the moon as they all converged into each other to form a sophisticated formation before descending back on the ground. Dust carelessly swirled as the sigil

Closing the system main command center, Jason fell into deep thoughts. Judging from the injuries he was suffering from his waist and back, it was already a miracle that he hadn't collapsed to the ground yet. As for returning back to that Haunt to engage in another round of battle, it was akin to him throwing his lives away. Jason knew better than to do something that stupid. 'Open the Shop' Jason wanted to test out a theory. Since he could now use the system In-built Shop Function, he was curious to see if there was any elixir that could heal him.. or play a part in accelerating the recovery process.—[SHOP]—Rey Coins: 0(Top Up?

Chapter 46 — Charm
"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

—[Host Has Entered A Silver Tier Haunt]—[Special Mission has begun!]—[Mission Requirement: Clear Haunt]—[Time Limit: 5 hrs]—[Good luck and don't die!] The first thing he did was don the Sprite Pupils. 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

Jason's lips twitched. That's it, this system thingy was broken!

"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. "Hit me with your best shot!" he added provocatively. "Heh. Unfortunately I am not going to be your sparring partner today. He is.." Dr. Damian tilted his head.
