My Wicked Schemes System

chapter 1

In every story, the main characters always have goals, but not in Benjamin's case. All of Benjamin's goals died on the day he lost his mother.

That day was etched in history when Humans and Mermaids declared war on each other. The Humans feared the Mermaids would use their powers someday in the future and for that reason only, They attacked.

All human inventions were used that day. Humans died like bugs, blood and carnage was everywhere. Lives were lost, many parents didn't return home that day, many humans and mermaids died.

Benjamin Reed's heart froze after seeing his mother lying in a pool of blood with a fist-size hole in her heart.

"No, no! You can't die" he cried. "Mother. Please don't let me regret knowing you are a mermaid. Tell me, mother, why ain't you swimming? Please don't leave me alone in this world, I won't have anything to do with my life if you go, who is going to read me bedtime stories and kiss me goodnight?" The cries fell on deaf ears.

His mother just died.

It had been weeks since Benjamin was sleeping with his mother's rotten body. He had become dejected and disconnected from his emotions, as if a part of him had died along with his mother.

He lied beside his mother until all her flesh turned into dust. Benjamin didn't care about the smell. He had been left in the cruel world alone with no one to even call "Mother". Benjamin decided to end his own life. He wanted to end that pain, that suffering, he wanted to end them all at once.

Fortunately, Vanessa, his only friend, managed to pull him out of that cave. She was able to convince him to move away from the war zone and With her mother's approval, Vanessa took Benjamin Reeds to their kingdom in the ocean. Vanessa had thought it would become the safe haven where Benjamin would heal completely but that was her mistake…

As a half mermaid like Benjamin, he never really lived in the ocean before so he thought everything would be better there. He adapted well to their culture, and The Queen, Ursula Darkwater adored him like a son. He never got along with anyone except for Vanessa. Life started getting better in his new found place. He started healing slowly until a sole crashing thing happened to him.

Benjamin found himself in the Hidden Dungeon in their kingdom, the very place said to be forbidden to enter.

While exploring the dungeon, Benjamin entered a certain part of the dungeon that was said to hold the Sword of Khaos.

The sword was said to be the Prison to the legendary creature known as *Trigon*.

The legends says the one who wields that sword would be bound to it, and if the curse reaches a certain stage, that person will turn into the trigon himself.

All of the happy memories that they had acquired in life would be wiped away by the curse, except for memories of the host's pain and all the feeling of suffering, which would fuel its sole purpose and missions.

Once at the dungeon a certain book attracted him. That book was the book of *Mormon.*

What he didn't know was that the sword of Khaos was inside the same case with the book.

He stretched forth his hands to grab the book. But suddenly he heard whispers. Unsure of what he heard he pulled back then heard the voice again.

"Touch me!!!"

The whispering pulled him in a way he couldn't resist that urge.

Benjamin tried but when he realized

his hands had touched the case. Then suddenly the sword broke free from the encasement and in a matter of seconds and he was welding it!

"Congratulations, you are now my host. You will be cursed all your live and when the moment come, I will inhabit your body"

When Benjamin heard this, his heart trembled. "No, I can't be cursed, And I will not be your host! My life is already a mess, I can't let that happen."

After saying this, the boy raised the sword in the air and stabbed himself.

[15 years later]

Since the Mermaids lost the battle. Everything people believed about mermaids also died too. Only a few humans cared about the Mermaids but it didn't last long.

The Government of the world released a special gas that wiped out all the memories people had about that War. All of the secrets remained hidden until Benjamin Reeds was born again with all the memories of his past life.

He had a normal life, like a random human with parents. However, when he turned 15 years old, he started to change. He would wake up in the middle of the night and find himself in the woods, and started to forget things. Unbeknownst to him, he had been cursed in his previous life at the exact age of 15. One day he woke up and could only remember his previous mother and nothing else. There was this pain inside of him that was eating him up.

He felt as if he no longer belonged on land. The whispering in his ears kept dragging him towards the sea. Benjamin followed it until midnight struck.

When he opened his eyes, he didn't feel like a human anymore. His senses heightened, his eyes glowed deep green. He tried to think, but he couldn't. All he felt was the animalistic instincts that was trying to break free.

As he continues swimming, Memories of men ripping apart mermaids flooded back to him again making him confused about his life even more.

When he surfaced the water in a new place, a familiar scent greeted him.

"HUMANS?" He roared.

The thought of this made Benjamin's chest grew in scales, his limbs grew and extended as claws then his canines drew into sharp fangs. His eyes glowed like an emerald green arborvitae. His face morphed into a predator-like creature. He no longer looked human, but looking deep. Then anger took control over him as He threw himself out of the ocean into the dark night that blended in with his skin.

The beast traced their scent until he reached them.

It was the same kind of people he hated, they were wearing uniforms celebrating something the human called Festival. The more he looked at them the more he became less control over himself.

"Yes Sargent, I heard of the creatures called mermaids and how Humans slayed them all." One of the soldiers screamed in his drunken voice.

" Don't let their stories bore me for the night because it has been 15 years since the Government released that special gas. Only few selected members of the Army still remember what really happened that day but that will only remain in fantasy books for now. Good night fellas we will search the ocean again tomorrow and if we find anything unfamiliar we kill it. Am I clear?

"Yes sir" They all salutes.

The Sargent matched straight to his helicopter with his top security men leaving the rest behind.

They played all sorts of music and drunk all kinds wine for it was a peaceful Night that anyone in the Government's Military squad knew about.

Only if they knew what awaits them..

As they were busy getting themselves busy with their betters, an Abomination of 6 foot tall barged inside the clubs front door. Then suddenly it started raining all off a sudden. It was as if the weather wanted to punish them as well.

Thunder clasped revealing the true face of their enemy.

"Hello meatbags!"

Blood was already dripping from its teeth as a large roaring filled with hatred and retribution echoed for everyone else to hear.

Suddenly, all the intoxicated ones amongst them became sane. Just as they tried to get their heads around it, The Beast launched itself on a fellow man and obliterated him out of his way. His body was left lifeless with his head missing. The Soldiers stared in awe as the unidentified creature stood tall with it's green eyes glaring at them as how Your Father looks at you when you do something wrong.

Gun fired. It merely did anything to the beast. Blood oozed out of everywhere. With every movement the beast teared a head or either a torso off of it normal position.

The beast moved like lightning, Peeling off people's face with it's claws like a maniac. Blood curdling screams echoed in the room.

The very last thing they all saw was a blur of green light before something hot and fierce pierced through their hearts.

Their guns were helpless against that mighty Beast because their bullets were like toilet paper to him. Everytime they Fired at the beast, the bullet would bounce back. With no defense against the beast, he tore through more than fifteen soldiers killing each and every single one of them with their heads missing from its original bread.

This scene was Wicked to watch, it sent shivers down the spine to even all the souls that died that night.

It was left with only four men standing at the edge of the room with their legs shaking , then one stuck his hands inside a bag and revealed a new set of weapons that the world thought never existed.

The beast stood there bewildered, he could not tell whether to stand or flee but the hunger in him kept him standing.

He was here for a mission and even if he died finishing that, it would be okay for him.

The men's horrified faces returned to a happy grin as they aimed their guns. It was the cold gun. With this last defense in their hands they fired all their last at it.

The beast's movements slowed every time he got hit by the ice bullets. Then suddenly all the four men seized up the moment. They completely froze the deadly creature with the hope of returning back to their family alive.

And how wrong they were, the beast started vibrating itself creating cracks in the ice then all the crystals came off and that was when they were all doomed.

The beast zoomed into their direction, with speed akin to that of a vampire and with his sharp claws he peeled off their fleshy skin to show how bears tore through things.

He had killed almost all of them. He raised his hands up high to chop the head of his last victims then out of the blue. He heard a familiar voice.

"Benjamin Reeds stop…."

The beast stood still, motionless as it turned around to see the person that called his name. That person must have known him before he turned to the beast.

First he noticed the black dress she wore with an apron tied up around her waist. He then continued his gaze up to see who she was. But his actions weren't fast enough the woman was standing behind. And just as he was about to notice her face, thousands of bullets rushed his direction, making a few ten of them tear through the innocent lady's body.

His heart boiled after seeing that, exactly how his race died. When he looked around, he noticed the feeble man on the ground with his right arm missing as he held the Ak47 with his other hand before dying, simply leaving Benjamin in suspense.

Benjamin angry side off him left right after he heard the voice off the lady. She must have known something about his previous life maybe she could have known something about who his father was. And before he realized she was also dead like every other else.

But Benjamin did not believe what his instincts told him instead he neared the girl. The closer he got the more she reminded him of someone familiar. Who was that person in the first place? He shrugged that question off his mind. It appeared she was a woman in her mid-thirties.

Blood came gushing out of the holes in her body. The bullets did not spare her innocent body. It tore her skin in a way that was very similar to the men killed by that beast.

But when he got closer he heard her heart still beating. Impossible. .

"Benjamin, P,p,please take care of my daughter." Her heart stopped working immediately after she finished those words.
