2025-01-16 19:57:11Darian felt the change. His body felt more substantial. Something flowed within him, a power that felt alien yet undeniably real. He felt an energy that gave life, healed, and granted him new strength.
“And that’s not all,” the alien continued. “This new power comes from the connection between your body, the onyx necklace, and our technology. The necklace is a symbol of the legacy we’ve given you. Now, Darian, you must learn to control it.”
Darian nodded slowly, though his heart was still filled with confusion and fear of what was to come. The gentle voice resonated again in his mind, making him feel more connected to this new power.
“Darian, your power didn’t just appear. It’s the result of a long process, starting with the necklace. We connected you to us, and now you must prepare yourself for the greater challenges.”
Darian stared blankly ahead. He felt tossed between awe and fear, realising he was now more than just an ordinary human.
“Welcome, Darian,” a gentle, friendly voice echoed in his mind. The voice was clear as if penetrating the walls of his thoughts, startling him and bringing him fully alert. “I am Kai, your virtual assistant.”
Darian still felt dazed, his mind reeling, but his body felt more assertive, more responsive. The new energy flowed within him, giving him a sensation he had never experienced.
“Virtual assistant?” he asked, his voice hoarse and heavy.
“Yes,” Kai replied, the voice filling his mind's space as if filling every corner. “I am programmed to help you control your new abilities and guide you on your upcoming journey. I’m here to ensure you don’t fall into completely unforeseen ruin.”
Darian looked around the chamber, trying to understand what had happened to him. “New abilities?” He frowned, sensing something odd within his body.
Kai continued, a calm yet clear voice sounding in his mind. “X-ray vision, hypnosis, telekinesis. These powers are awakened within you and will grow stronger over time. All this is part of our race’s legacy, the technology we have implanted in your body.”
Darian nodded slowly, awe mixed with fear. The newly realised power felt so alien, so immense. “How do I control it?” he asked, his tone now filled with anxiety.
“Now, let’s try your telekinesis,” Kai said enthusiastically. “Imagine an object in this room, and move it with your mind. Feel the energy flowing and focus your intention.”
Darian looked at a small vase near the table. With mixed feelings, he tried to concentrate, imagining the vase moving.
Before, he didn’t know if the power truly existed within him. Slowly, the vase began to float, moving gently in the air as if lifted by his own will.
Darian was shocked. He had succeeded! A surprised smile appeared on his face, but the happiness quickly vanished as an excruciating pain struck his head.
It felt as if his head were splitting, and blood began to trickle from his nose. His power felt wild, uncontrolled, like a current too strong to contain.
“Darian, stop!” Kai cried out in his mind, his voice filled with worry. “You must learn to control it, or this power will destroy you. Don’t let yourself be carried away, or it will all be in vain.”
Darian fell to his knees, trying to calm himself, but the power still pulsed within him, growing stronger with each passing moment.
He felt as if his body was no longer his own but a tool used by a much greater force. “What’s happening to me?” Darian groaned confusion and fear overwhelming him.
After several intensive training sessions, Darian began to feel a change within himself. His new abilities, once alien and terrifying, were now becoming manageable.
With the guidance of Kai, his virtual assistant who constantly provided instructions and strategies, Darian became increasingly proficient in mastering telekinesis, hypnosis, and x-ray vision. Each day, he felt more substantial and aware of his immense potential.
But besides learning to control his new abilities, Darian received a more valuable lesson: information about his enemies.
The “Darkness Wanderers” supposedly possess dark powers that threaten life in this world, and the “Silent Circle is a mysterious organisation tasked with maintaining the balance between the real world and the energy world.
Kai provided crucial information about strategies to defeat them, but Darian knew that strength and courage would determine whether he could survive in this world of threats.
After training, Kai took Darian to the lounge area of the ship. As soon as they entered, Darian was surprised to see creatures from various species that looked alien and amazing.
There were creatures resembling giants, luminous insects, plants that moved like humans, and even abstract forms as if they were energy entities challenging to describe.
All the creatures seemed unsurprised to see Darian, and they communicated fluently in various languages that Darian couldn’t understand.
“This is a place where various species from across the universe gather,” Kai said, stepping closer to Darian.
“All these beings, from the most primitive to the most advanced, can speak easily thanks to bio-sonic technology.”
Darian was still stunned, his eyes scanning each creature present. “Bio-sonic?” he asked, still slightly confused.
Kai smiled. “This technology analyses brainwaves and translates them into languages all species understand. Thousands, even millions of languages, have been implanted in your brain through this system. You can now communicate with anyone, anywhere.”
“Not only that,” Kai explained earnestly, “this bio-sonic technology isn’t limited to intelligent species. It can even translate non-verbal forms of communication, such as signals and animal pheromones. So, yes, Darian, you can also communicate with animals worldwide.”
Darian fell silent momentarily, imagining how he could communicate with various types of creatures, including animals he had only understood through their sounds and movements.
“But remember,” Kai continued, “understanding doesn’t always mean you can communicate effectively.
Some species—including some animals in your world—have very complex communication methods, which may be challenging to understand fully, even with this technology.”
Darian nodded, trying to grasp Kai’s explanation. “Then, how do I train this ability?”
Kai pointed to one of the insect-like creatures communicating with another creature, emitting a very strong odour.
“That’s an insect used for training communication with pheromones. They use a pheromone and vibration-based communication system that’s quite simple, so you can start practising here.”
Darian stepped closer to the insect, observing its movements. The insect seemed to move very organised, signaling through pheromones spreading in the air.
“Once you activate this bio-sonic technology,” Kai continued, “you can ‘hear’ their communication. You might feel a certain sensation within yourself—like information entering your mind, explaining their behaviour.”
Darian nodded, then closed his eyes, trying to focus on the almost inaudible sounds. Slowly, he began to feel the energy waves connecting with the insect.
He could sense their movements and every change in their communication patterns, although he couldn’t fully understand what they were saying.
“Don’t worry,” Kai said, as if able to read his confusion. “Your abilities will develop over time. This is just the first exercise, and you’ll get used to this communication.”
Darian opened his eyes, smiling slightly. Even though it was his first time, he felt as if a new connection had been formed, not only with that creature but with a world far broader and more complex than he had ever imagined.

Darian attempted to communicate with one of the giant insect-like creatures. He thought of a question in his native language, and the words were instantly translated into a language understood by the insect.The next day, Darian sat cross-legged in the spacious training room. Soft light from the ceiling panels illuminated the room, creating a calm yet energetic atmosphere. In his mind, Kai’s voice sounded clear and calm. “Today, we will focus on controlling telekinesis,” Kai said. “Try moving small objects first, like dust or feathers.Focus your mind, imagine energy flowing from your body to the object, and control its movement smoothly.”Darian followed Kai’s instructions. He focused his mind, trying to feel the energy flow within his body. Initially, he struggled.His mind was still cluttered, not yet accustomed to his new powers. However, slowly, he began to feel it. A speck of dust floated in the air, moving according to his will. A small smile appeared on his face. He had succee

Darian raced after the shadow. His heart was pounding, his feet hitting the hard ground as if each step brought him closer to something unexpected.His adrenaline kept rising. But all he found was a large deer, bowing its head calmly as though it felt no threat. Darian stopped, his breath heavy, almost irregular.The tension that had once gripped him dissipated, slowly replaced by a sweet sense of relief. He turned around and climbed the cliff. He reached the top, in front of a simple, small house.However, the atmosphere was different. A thick layer of dust covered everything, indicating the house had been abandoned for a long time. The wind blew, carrying dust in the air, creating a quiet atmosphere.The house looked old and worn but still stood firm. He entered the house, dust swirling with each step he took. The faint smell of wood and earth lingered, buried under the scent of dust and the passing of time.He walked toward the backyard, toward his parents' grave. Next to it, a new

A chilling silence fell over the room. Everyone was frozen in place, their eyes fixed on Darian. They felt something strange, something controlling their minds.They couldn’t move or speak, yet they didn’t cry or show remorse. They were transfixed, hypnotized by Darian’s power.“Karina,” Darian’s voice remained low but laced with power, “You betrayed me. You shattered the hopes I placed in you. You will face the consequences.”“Reynand,” he continued, “You stole my fiancée. You, too, will face the consequences.” One by one, he named the members of the Adinata family, insulting them with sharp, piercing words.He forced them to submit to his will but didn’t force them to cry or regret their actions. They remained silent, frozen, under Darian’s hypnotic control.The room was filled with a suffocating silence, punctuated only by Darian’s steady breathing. Darian stood in the doorway, his long shadow falling across the polished wooden floor. The room was silent, save for the ticking of an
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 10: Deadly Accident
A black sedan sped past the road divider, uncontrollably skidding before finally falling off the overpass.In an instant, the car plunged, hanging momentarily in the air, before crashing into the road below with a loud thud. The sound of vibrating metal and shattering glass echoed around, creating chaos that shook the atmosphere.Flames began licking at the crumpled car’s body, sparks of red lighting up the darkness. Panicked screams and discordant sounds suddenly replaced the once lively city buzz.Amid the chaos, a black sedan lay mangled, fire starting to consume its body. The crowd screamed in panic, most busy recording the horrific incident with their phones while others retreated in fear.But Darian’s eyes were fixed on the figure behind the cracked windshield. A young woman, wonderful, slumped over the steering wheel.Her long hair cascaded, her face pale. She appeared unconscious. Kai’s voice echoed in Darian's mind, “She’s severely injured. The car will explode in less than a
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 11: Connection at the Hospital
In the small, sterile room, the young police officer recorded every detail of Darian's statement. Darian told everything honestly: how he witnessed the accident, how he saved the young woman from the burning car.He emphasized his first-aid skills but carefully avoided details that might reveal his other abilities. He was just a young man who happened to be at the scene and acted on human instinct.After giving his statement, Darian felt exhausted, both physically and mentally. He sat back down in the waiting chair, his mind still filled with the image of the young woman’s face.Suddenly, Dr. Anita approached him, her expression friendly.“Mr. Darian, right?” Darian nodded. “I’ve contacted the victim’s family. They’re very grateful for your help. They’ll be here as soon as possible.”Dr. Anita smiled sympathetically. “You look tired. How about we grab a coffee together in the cafeteria? My treat.” Her voice was soft, full of warmth.For some reason, Dr. Anita suddenly invited Darian t

The scent added to her allure, mesmerizing her even more. “Me too,” Darian replied, his voice hoarse with emotion, but beneath the hoarseness, there was a deep tenderness.He kissed Dr. Anita tenderly, a kiss full of passion and longing, a kiss that started softly, but slowly became deeper and more intense, reflecting the development of their growing and irresistible relationship.Their kiss deepened and grew hotter, and their tongues intertwined in a passionate dance, a sweet and arousing exchange of flavors.Darian's hands roamed over Dr. Anita's back, feeling her soft, beautiful curves under his touch, feeling the warmth of her smooth skin.Dr. Anita reciprocated by stroking Darian's hair, her fingers digging into his dense locks, feeling their smooth and strong texture.Their heartbeats clashed, creating an electrifying rhythm, a symphony of love that only the two of them could feel.They undressed slowly, carefully, and passionately, as if afraid of disturbing the beauty of the m
Silent Circle: The Vow of an Heir Chapter 13: Love and Chaos
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, waking Darian. He slowly opened his eyes, seeing Dr. Anita asleep beside him, her black hair spread across the pillow.The atmosphere was still warm and comfortable, but there was a silence different from the night before. Both of them realised that their intimate moment had come to an end, and they had to return to their respective lives.No words were spoken, but an unspoken understanding lingered between them. They got up, got ready, and parted without drama or sadness.The fresh morning air felt cool on Darian’s skin as he stepped out of Anita’s apartment. Dr. Anita stood in the doorway, offering him a faint smile. "Drive safely," she said softly.Darian nodded, returning Anita’s smile. Javaris City began to pulse with life, the honking of cars and the hustle of people starting their day filling the air.The night before felt like a dream, a brief pause from the harshness of his reality.Darian took a deep breath

Darian wrote down the name "Buaya." He realized that he was still far from the peak of the organization, but he had gained an important clue.He needed to find Buaya, interrogate him, and gather more information about the network. He knew that Buaya must have information about higher levels of the organization. He hoped to find a hint about The Wanderers of Darkness Sect.Before leaving the warehouse, Darian gave a final warning to the thugs still sprawled on the floor. With a sharp, piercing gaze, he said, "Never interfere with Mbok Darmi again. If you want to keep your lives, make sure I never see you near her stall again." Darian's threat was implied with an aura of power that could not be ignored. The thugs nodded in fear, not daring to argue.As Darian exited the warehouse, his phone rang. He saw a message from Dr. Anita. The message contained information that the woman he had saved from the car accident wanted to meet him.Dr. Anita explained that the woman had recovered and wan

Behind her, Kirana followed with sluggish steps, her swollen belly becoming more apparent. Her expression was cold and cynical, and she seemed shocked to see Darian there, her eyes glaring at him with hatred."Oh, look who's here," Reynand sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. He pointed at Darian with his chin. "The poor village boy who suddenly got rich. So, this is how you got your wealth, huh? By clinging to those two beautiful women?" He laughed loudly, his voice full of scorn.Kirana smirked cynically, her eyes narrowing. "You village bastard!" She spat on the floor, then added in a whisper loud enough for everyone to hear, "Who do you think you are, daring to manipulate Miss Yara Pratama to get your wealth?"Reynand approached Darian, standing just inches away. "You know, kid," he whispered, his voice threatening, "I can make your life miserable. You're just lucky the Pratama family is cowardly. But I'm not." He gripped Darian's shoulder tightly, his eyes blazing with anger

“This is the full financial report of all the Suryadi family’s assets, as you requested. All properties have been transferred to your name. And here’s the proof of the five trillion rupiah transfer to your account at National Bank Javaris City.”Arvid handed over the documents and the tablet to Darian. He didn’t apologize again; his regret and compliance were evident in his posture. Sekar watched from the corner of the room, his eyes glued to the tablet displaying the staggering numbers.Five trillion rupiah. The number spun in his mind, comparing it to his own family’s assets, which now felt so small and insignificant. A wave of intense inferiority struck him.Darian accepted the documents and tablet with no expression, his gaze sharp as he scrutinized Arvid. He quickly examined the transfer details and the financial report. The information displayed was accurate and complete.After a few moments, Darian nodded slightly. “Alright,” he said, his voice calm but authoritative. “I’ve rev
Chapter 34: The Unmasking
The process was lengthy and required intense concentration, accompanied by soft music emanating from hidden speakers within the room. Yara and Dr. Anita could only wait anxiously, observing Darian's every move, occasionally whispering to each other, conveying their worry and support.After a while, Sekar began to show signs of consciousness. She slightly opened her eyes, her gaze still a bit dazed, but no longer displaying the blinding obsession. She found herself in Darian's private room, adorned with photos and awards.Surprise filled her face, mixed with confusion and the lingering effects of the drug that made her slightly dizzy. However, even in such a state, Sekar's characteristic sarcasm surfaced."Hey, beggar," she said, her voice still a bit hoarse, "what are you doing here? Have you become the pet of these two beautiful women? No wonder your clothes are expensive and nice now. You've managed to move up in the world, haven't you?" She tried to sit up, but her body still felt
Chapter 33: A Turning Point
Alex stood in silence, his vision blurring. He felt restless, his heart and mind waging war against each other. In an instant, he felt weak, as if the strength he had always prided himself on had been eroded by something far more significant—a truth that came not with physical power, but with profound wisdom."How can I do this?" Alex asked, his voice heavy with doubt. "I've come so far, Darian. So much is at stake."Darian didn’t respond with words but with action. With a gentle movement, he approached Alex and placed a hand on his shoulder—not merely a physical touch, but a symbol of support. Beneath that touch flowed pure energy, filled with genuine love, unwavering hope, and the belief that change is always possible."You don’t have to do this alone," Darian whispered, his voice soft yet resolute. "Kindness isn’t about being perfect; it’s about choosing to care even when the world feels heavy. Tolerance isn’t about ignoring differences but understanding that everyone has a story w
Chapter 32 : The Showdown
Thomas and Arvid were already waiting in the meeting room, while Darian hid in a strategic spot, ready to act if needed. Not long after, the sound of footsteps echoed through the hallway. The door to the meeting room opened, and Alex walked in, dressed in a sleek black suit, a confident smile plastered across his face. Behind him, two large bodyguards followed, keeping their distance but remaining alert. “Good evening, Mr. Alex,” Thomas greeted, trying to sound friendly. “Thank you for taking the time to meet with us.” Alex nodded, his eyes scanning the room sceptically. “What do you want to discuss? I’m very busy.” Darian observed from his hiding spot, sensing the aura of confidence radiating from Alex. He knew this was a critical moment, and he had to be ready to act. “This is about a new investment opportunity that could benefit us all,” Arvid said, trying to keep the atmosphere calm. “We believe that with your connections, we can achieve even greater success.” Alex smirked c
Chapter 31: The Connecting Thread
Darian ushered Thomas, Arvid, and Yara into the modest yet comfortable villa. Once they were seated, Darian began recounting his encounter with Crocodile Boss at the nightclub and the information he had gleaned."I managed to get the name of the connection," Darian said, "Alex. He's linking Crocodile Boss to the mafia leader behind it all. I also found one of the Kardhana Sect elders there. We fought, and…" Darian pointed to a small scar on his arm. “…they challenged me. A challenge from the Kardhana Sect.”Darian paused, looking at the three people before him. "Now, I want to hear your thoughts. You know about Crocodile's shady business at that nightclub, right?."Thomas shivered, his face paling. "We… we were just nominal owners, Darian. We didn't know much about the operational details. Crocodile… he managed everything. We just received a portion of the profits."Arvid added, "We… we were afraid to ask more questions. Crocodile… he's very dangerous."Darian nodded, processing the i
Chapter 30: Kardhana Sect Challenge
Under the influence of Darian's gaze, Crocodile Boss told us everything. He revealed that there was a liaison who served as the spokesperson between the area controller (Crocodile Boss himself) and the mysterious mafdia leader. This liaison communicated the needs and instructions from the mafdia leader to the Crocodile Boss, and vice versa.“The liaison... his name is Alex,” whispered the Crocodile Boss, his voice weak and hoarse. “He... he's coming here tomorrow night... to audit the revenue from some nightclubs and casinos. He... he used to... have a lot of fun... with some call girls...”Darian nodded, digesting the information. He realized this was a golden opportunity to uncover the identity of the mafia leader. He would use this information to trap the liaison.“Thank you,” Darian said, his voice calm. The influence of his gaze disappeared, leaving the Crocodile Boss in a dazed and confused state.Darian left the Crocodile Boss in the room, returning to the main room, a plan alr
Chapter 29: The Underground King
He ordered a drink and sat at the bar, observing the people coming and going. He noticed a few groups that seemed suspicious, whispering and exchanging secretive glances. He realized that this nightclub wasn’t just a place for entertainment—it was a gathering spot for the underground elite.After a while, he saw him. A large man with a dragon tattoo on his arm sat at a VIP table, surrounded by several bodyguards. It was the Crocodile Boss.Darian observed him from a distance, noting every movement and interaction with those around him. He watched as the Crocodile Boss received an envelope from a well-dressed man, whispering something Darian couldn’t hear.Darian decided to approach. He walked toward the VIP table, his steps calm and confident. He pulled out a chair and sat across from the Crocodile Boss without uttering a word. The Crocodile Boss stared at him with a sharp gaze, sizing Darian up from head to toe.“Who are you?” the Crocodile Boss asked, his voice deep and gravelly.Da

We’ll decide what’s worth keeping or developing, my love,” Darian whispered, still holding Yara tightly, savouring the softness and warmth of her body. “Businesses like nightclubs and casinos… we should just sell them.The money can be used for something more meaningful. What if we establish a humanitarian foundation? We could focus on scholarships for underprivileged children or poverty alleviation programs in remote areas. What do you think?” He gently kissed Yara’s hair, waiting for her response with full attention.Yara smiled, her eyes glistening. “That’s an incredible idea, my love,” she whispered, her fingers caressing Darian’s cheek.“We could make a real difference, help those in need. I’m so proud of you.” She softly kissed Darian’s lips, gratitude and love radiating from every touch. Darian returned her kiss, his hands exploring the curves of her body with tenderness. Their gazes met, filled with love and understanding.The room was enveloped in warmth and intimacy. They k
