As I turned to leave the office, I urged the frightened girl, "You should go before someone arrives."

But she grasped my arm, her eyes pleading. "Take me with you," she implored, her voice trembling. "I want to be like you."

Her words caught me off guard. I had expected anger, accusations – not admiration.

"Murderer," she should have said. "You'll pay for your crimes." Or, "Wait for the police, you can't escape."

Instead, her sparkly eyes shone with a mix of desperation and fascination.

My hardened heart softened slightly, sensing the pain behind her words. She had likely suffered at the hands of ruthless lecturers, forging a steely resolve.

But my path wasn't hers to follow. Blood and knives wouldn't heal her scars. She needed love, care, and protection – not the darkness I embodied.

“Sorry to bust your bubbles, but I can't” I replied and tried to shake off her hand from my arm, surprisingly it didn't budge.

“Please. I have no one else. I am an orphan and I work hard to take care of

    As we entered the station, a police officer approached, his expression neutral. Hollow Reaper and I wore identical black facemasks, concealing our lower faces."Can I assist you gentlemen?" he asked, unaware of the true nature of our visit.Risky took the lead, his voice smooth. "Our friend was robbed on his way home from work. He's deaf and dumb, so we're here to file a personal complaint with the chief."A thousand naira notes discreetly changed hands, and the officer's demeanor shifted. His grin revealed a willingness to cooperate."Follow me, please," he said, leading us to the chief's office with an air of obsequiousness.Upon arrival, he announced our presence, his voice deferential. "Sir, three gentlemen wish to speak with you privately."“Okay. Let them in if they're really important.” his voice boomed from inside the office. The officer nodded and opened the door wide enough for us to go in. Then he saluted the chief and left.“Take a seat and tell me how I may be of help to

    Vengeance can consume even the most calculated villains, transforming them into monsters. But I'm different. My descent into darkness was deliberate.From the outset, my quest for revenge was never simple. I had a purpose – to unleash the demon wolf within, suppressed for far too long.To set it free, I required a thousand souls, taken by my own hands. Cold calculation, not madness, drove me.No pity stirred within me for these hypocrites: corrupt justice advocates, the nine betrayers, and my deceitful mate. Their treachery ignited an inferno of rage.As fury coursed through my veins, my breath grew scorching, hotter than lava.

    As I entered the meeting hall, the Killer-Wolves Elites sprang to their feet, their unified greeting echoing through the room. "GOOD DAY, BOSS!"I acknowledged their salute with a nod. "Take your seats."My attention shifted to Elixir, the sole woman among the elite ranks. Her poised demeanor caught my eye, and I reviewed her performance stats. Impressive."Elixir," I began, my gaze locked onto hers. "Your numbers are exceptional. Tell me, what drives your success?"ELIXIRName: Elizabeth ChristopherAge: 25Race: HumanStrength: 75Speed: 75Control: 80Skills: (Master swordsman, Master gunslinger, Master invincibility).“You really have worked hard my dear Elixir, I'm proud of you.” I said smiling.“Its all thanks to your grace and care Boss.” she blushed.

    I entered the fray, surveying the chaotic landscape. Starlet and Hollow Reaper had the police force bottled up, their escape routes severed. Slashed tires and strategically placed shokuren ensured no one escaped unscathed.The policemen, battered and exhausted, futilely unleashed bullets that ricocheted off the Killer-Wolves Elite (KWE) vests. Crafted from rare Black iron ore and Milthril ore, these vests were virtually indestructible – except against lightning and laser beams.Yet, as I watched, my empathy remained dormant. Lawrence's words still seared my mind, fueling an unrelenting rage.The cries of the trapped officers, the desperation in their eyes, only stoked my fury. I felt no mercy, no remorse.GRRH! A snarl escaped my mouth, that was the cue for the demonic system in me to act. I rushed towards the nearest policeman, he was already injured by the shokuren and was applying bandage on his injured arm. He jerked away as I suddenly appeared in front of him, he was a step too l

    A month had passed since I last pursued my vendetta. Instead, I dedicated myself to fortifying the KWE organization, transforming it into a formidable force. Our ranks had swelled to an impressive 4,000 members, necessitating a strategic restructuring to maximize efficiency.To achieve this, I established specialized sectors, each led by trusted and skilled leaders: Hollow Reaper, with his unparalleled expertise in cybersecurity and surveillance, commanded the Tech sector. His team ensured our digital presence remained undetectable and our communications encrypted. Lord Keal, Kim Demon, and Death Vector formed the nucleus of the Gunslinger group. These elite snipers had earned their reputation on the battlefield, demonstrating unwavering accuracy and precision. Starlet (Ajuruchi Samuel), a master swordsman with unmatched agility, led the Swordsman group. Her unit excelled in close combat, employing tactics honed through rigorous training.

    The armory echoed with the deliberate clicks of guns being loaded and cocked, a symphony of lethal preparation. My initial plan to take down Alhaji alone had been overtaken by events. The government, determined to thwart my vendetta, had deployed a formidable force.Two hundred soldiers, they thought, would be enough to stop me? Amusing.In the past, such opposition would have given me pause, prompting weeks of strategic planning. But times had changed. I now commanded an army, the KWE mercenary guild.Our gunslinger group had evolved into a finely-tuned machine, divided into smaller, elite units we called Platoons. Each consisted of: Thirty skilled foot soldiers. One tech-savvy communicator, One seasoned platoon commanderDeploying a single, well-trained Platoon alongside me to eliminate Alhaji seemed excessive, almost extravagant. Yet, I reveled in the prospect.The more souls that fell during this vengeful hunt, the closer I drew to my ultimate goal. Blood would flow, and I would b

    As consciousness crept back, I struggled to my feet, unaware of how I'd ended up on the cold marble floor. A sudden jolt of fear shot through me when I saw an ashen, furry arm where my human one should be."What in the devil's name?!" I exclaimed, horror etched on my face.Stunned, I examined my transformed body. I had become a wolf-like creature, but with a twist – my physique was eerily humanoid. No razor-sharp fangs or protruding saberteeth marred my features, unlike the werewolves I knew or those depicted in movies.Perplexed, I wondered why my transformation differed. Was it because I hadn't yet reached the threshold of a thousand human kills, a milestone Mahjong had achieved? Did that explain the incomplete transformation?Curiosity got the better of me. I flexed my new arm, marveling at the incredible strength coursing through me. My senses had heightened, too.But what exactly was I now? Not a full-fledged werewolf, that much was clear. An anomaly, perhaps?This transformation

    The meeting hall erupted in a thunderous chorus: "Good morning, Sir!"I stood frozen, taken aback by the sudden outburst. Before me, Starlet, Erik, and the KWE commanders dropped to one knee, their heads bowed in reverence."We greet the Vengeance god, Black Heart!" they declared in unison.Their words hung in the air, awaiting my response. But I was dumbstruck.My gaze swept the room, searching for answers. Why were they addressing me with such deference? And how did Focus and Risky, who should be hundreds of miles away, suddenly appear beside Elixir?Something was amiss.I turned to Starlet, seeking clarification. Her eyes met mine, shining with an unwavering loyalty."Erik?" I asked, hoping he'd provide some insight.But Erik's expression mirrored Starlet's – steadfast devotion.The kneeling commanders awaited my acknowledgement, their faces hidden behind bowed heads.How did this unfold?

    Xavier was in the middle of a intense training session with Maximus. He was sweating and panting, but he didn't stop. He kept pushing himself, determined to become stronger.Just as he was about to take a break, his phone rang. He looked at the screen and saw that it was Victor LaGraine, the head of the LaGraine family.Xavier answered the call, curious about what Victor wanted. "Hey, Victor. What's up?""Xavier, I need to talk to you about something," Victor said, his voice serious. "I think it's best if you lay low for the meantime."Xavier was taken aback. "What do you mean? Why do I need to lay low?"Victor hesitated before answering. "The Hale Family has put out a bounty on your head, Xavier. One million dollars, dead or alive. Every low-level mafia character is going to be out to kill you and claim the bounty."Xavier couldn't believe it. "That's ridiculous," he said, laughing. "The Hale Family wouldn't do that."Victor's voice was firm. "I'm telling you, Xavier, it's true. I've

    Xavier and Maximus stood facing each other in a big, open field. The sun was shining down on them."Today, we're going to practice fighting with our hands," Maximus said with a smile. "You're getting better, but you still have a lot to learn.""I'm ready," Xavier said, his eyes locked on Maximus. "Let's do this."Maximus chuckled. "Okay, but first, let's start with the basics. Stand with your feet apart and your knees slightly bent. This will help you balance and move quickly."Xavier nodded and took a deep breath. He stood with his feet apart and his knees slightly bent, feeling balanced and ready to move."Good," Maximus said, nodding his head. "Now, let's practice moving around each other. I want you to use different techniques to avoid my attacks and strike back at me."Xavier nodded and took off in a slow circle around Maximus. He practiced different footwork patterns, using his quick reflexes to avoid Maximus's slow, sweeping attacks.As they trained, Maximus gave Xavier advice

    Maximus's eyes lit up with excitement. "Ah, the Hale Manor. I've heard so much about it. It's going to be a pleasure to watch you take them down, Xavier."Xavier's gaze turned cold, his mind focused on the task ahead. "Let's get this over with. I have a score to settle."As they approached the Hale Manor, Xavier could feel the weight of his past bearing down on him. He had been born into this family, but they had never accepted him. They had treated him like dirt, like he was nothing.But now, Xavier was back, and he was not alone. He had Maximus by his side, and together, they were unstoppable.The gates of the Hale Manor swung open, and Xavier's eyes locked onto the mansion. It was just as he remembered it - grand, opulent, and cold."Shall we?" Maximus asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.Xavier nodded, his jaw clenched. "Let's do this."As they stepped into the mansion, Xavier was met with the familiar sight of his family's portraits hanging on the walls. He felt a surge of an

    I stood at the entrance of the dark tower with anger and hatred burning in my eyes. I just found out that my mate has been faithful to me all these while and she was even the one who helped me escape the subatomic world, but those witches tried to fill my head with lies and fabricated photos, not to mention the torture I went through in their hands. And I will make them suffer a hundredth fold.“How do you wish to play this Maximus?” the demon wolf asked. I clutched the handle of my sword so tight my knuckles were white.“Slow, painful, near death and then an undesirable death.” I said grinning from ear to ear. If someone was there to capture my expression at that moment, I'm sure the person will shudder from fear as I knew I looked like the smiling devil.“Let's go harvest their fears, anger and lives.” the demon wolf said.I dashed into the lobby and was met with the whizzing sound of lightening.“Did you think we won't notice your disappearance?” a girl in plain white came out from

    I slowly opened my eyes, only to be consumed by darkness. The blackness was suffocating, making it impossible to see beyond my own nose.I tried to stand, but my body refused to cooperate, anchored to a mysterious chair.Panic threatened to overwhelm me, but I forced myself to calm down. I attempted to meditate, seeking a connection with the demon wolf within. Silence greeted me.A melodic voice pierced the darkness, its sweetness laced with venom. "Don't bother striving for what's beyond your grasp."I gritted my teeth, fighting to maintain composure. "Who's there? Show yourself!"The voice chuckled, a manic edge creeping in. "The legendary Roman Prince, Maximus Aurelius, bringer of death, now reduced to a helpless captive."Her laughter sent shivers down my spine. I struggled to recall how I ended up here, how I lost consciousness, and who this mysterious woman was."You've discovered you can't reach the demon wolf within," she said, her amusement evident.A spark of realization ign

    As I approached the tower, my expectations shattered. Instead of a dark, foreboding Rapunzel-esque spire, a sleek glass skyscraper pierced the sky. I snorted. "Evil tower, indeed."The locals must have never seen a skyscraper before, I thought, or they've been trapped in their quaint town for too long. They sure reminded me of the locals in Rome. What would Commodus when he sees the modern Rome now? He was just immature to kill his father for the throne. Too bad he didn't get to enjoy his time as King.With a flourish, I unsheathed my swords and stepped into the building. The lobby's eerie silence enveloped me. Empty halls stretched out, devoid of life.I strode to the elevator, pressed the top-floor button, and waited. Minutes ticked by, yet the elevator didn't budge. Confusion gnawed at me.Just then, a familiar voice whispered in my ear. "I smell magic here, Maximus."I turned to face the demon wolf, surprised. "You're still here? I thought you'd wandered off."The wolf's gaze lock

    The skeletal figure raised its hands to the sky. "As the dead obey Hades, so shall they obey me," it declared. "I summon all doomed souls within Minos' territory. Rise as death knights and heed my call."The ground trembled, and skeletal hands burst forth from the earth. Quickly, they multiplied - ten, hundreds, then thousands. Each wore black armor and wielded fiery swords.I merely smirked, stared at the clone like it was some kind of a stupid creature.“The more, the merrier, this just got more fun. And here I thought you were some mighty creature, I was wrong, you're just another dumb prey.”I gripped my sword and dashed towards the vast army at superhuman speed.I was like a blur to them and they were unable to retaliate. The death knights were falling, battered, dismembered, headless and burnt. But then I soon began to feel weak.Why the hell was I feeling weak? I should be feeling stronger the more I kill, shouldn't I?“Do you feel it now demon wolf?” The clone smiled and said.

    As our helicopter soared towards London's outskirts, I sat between Major Triston Allen and Sergeant Anderson Marshal.Major Allen spoke through the headset, "Did you know Minos de First slaughtered 2,300 apprentices to revive his soulmate? Now, he controls an army of death knights and skeleton soldiers."I remained silent, sensing he was trying to provoke me.Sergeant Anderson responded, "That's ridiculous! Who confirms this?"Major Allen replied, "Intel from reliable sources. We're in over our heads, guys."I stayed quiet, unsure why they'd joined this perilous mission.Sergeant Anderson asked, "Xavier, what's your take on this?"I remained silent, lost in thought.Major Allen pressed on, "We need to know what we're up against. Xavier?"Sergeant Anderson intervened, "Let him focus, Major. We'll brief soon enough."The helicopter flew on, tension lingering.“No one has ever gone into his cave and returned.” Anderson said.So he truly is the most terrifying Necromancer alive. No one ha

We're stock in here for another two hours." Xavier said. He really wanted to leave the facility and proceed with his plan to take down all Mafia families."I will keep you company for the next two hours then." Maximus said with feigned sadness."Dude! we're in this together!" Xavier almost blew his top."Then allow me to continue my life story." Maximus said beaming with smiles."What? weren't you through with all that.." Xavier was about to complain but Maximus placed his hand on Xavier's mouth."Hush, don't interrupt."*It was a few years after I returned from Rome, approximately twelve years after Rome.
