[Mission]

Defeat Misty Eyes thugs and the hidden boss.

Defeat the gang of Misty eyes 350exp

Defeat Hidden Boss 300exp

Bonus: level 3 power scroll

Fail to complete mission - electric shock for two minutes or deduct 300exp from the host.

Vernon said "They aren't that strong only a few are level 2 and the tattooed dude is a level 2.5 superhuman. And the boss is at level 3. It shouldn't be too hard for ya!"

Draven spent 80exp for one speed boost and stamina boost, giving a temporary boost of five stats each.

Blood rush through his heart, epic music replayed in his mind. Draven laughed, and plotted 'It will be much easier to surpress them, once I defeat their leader'

Draven dashed to the leader. An inch away, Draven covered his fists with fire and punched. The leader activated his ability, turning his arm into iron and blocked Draven's punch.

Before the enemy could counterattack, Draven stepped back and front kicked him in the gut. It rebounded.

Not backing down, Draven did the unexpected and head-butted. Before the leader could recover, Draven punched his weakened gut, he fell to his knees unconscious. The others in the background, ganged around with sticks and knifes. Draven gritted his teeth and flipped backwards from their swings.

'This is a power of a level 3 how useless.'

'Even the bots were more fun than this. Let's end this!'

With a change of tactics, Draven materialised a chain of fire above, and spined in circles, forming a firery tornado. Under his overwhelming power, they surrendered and dropped to their knees.

Void of forgiveness, the tornado blazed even more furiously.

In desperation, they frantically pulled the triggers, in the vain of hope of stopping the monster.

By chance, a plasma ray struck his hip, blood gushed from his incinerated wound. He bit his lips and pressed on. They wailed as tornado burnt them alive.

Draven picked up a saber and strolled through the newly created cemetery, littered of burnt corpses. In contempt, Draven snorted "Looks like trash will always stay trash!" With his heel, he crushed the dead hand.

Regained consciousness, the leader tried to lift himself. He grunted, Draven slashed his chest, blood bubbled out. Draven lifted him by the chin with an icy gaze, as the edge hung beneath the apples of Adam. "Come out ! I know you are here"

The wind breezed past carrying his sinister aura, in the silent alley.

Draven shouted "I swear, by the count of ten, I will kill him!"

A figure jumped off a balcony, with a flying kick. Draven expecting an attack, crossed his arms, he skeeded back. Draven slashed the saber, it grazed his leg, the man flipped over Draven.

The man huskily said "I don't want to fight! Come with me"

The saber glowed red-hot just like his eyes, said "Hehe Do you really think that you are in a position to talk?"

The man retreated "What do you want?"

Draven smirked, spinning the saber around his palm. "What I want? oh... let me think! I want your sincere apology!" Draven said, hinting for something more than some sweet words.

Comprehending his intention, the man pensively said "We will compensate you for your greviences. How about fifty thousand?"

Draven yawed in disinterest.

The man said "Hundred thousand?".

"Still not sincere enough" Draven commented.

The man gritted his teeth and said "Ok fine... Two hundred?"

Draven appeared calm on the outside and nodded his head with a snort. "Fine, if that all you have then. It would be rude to not accept!"

'Haha who knew it was so easy to con idiots? I'm finally rich. Yeah hahaha easy 200,000. Tonight, I'm going to celebrate!'

The man's mouth twitched at his hypocrisy and transferred the money to his account.

The man tiredly asked "Are you coming with me?"

Draven said "Sure...."

The man sighed in relief way too early as Draven then said "But not today! I will contact you when I'm ready"

His face turned desolate at his predicament. The man said "Ok, I will give you two days. If you don't come, I will come to get you and it won't be pretty!"

The man walked and disappeared with the wind.

*Ting*

Draven's bracelet vibrated, the mission panel popped.

Vernon said "What would you choose for your punishment?"

"Punishment? Is there an option?" Draven said.

[Punishment]

[Electric shock]

OR

[Deduct 400 exp]

Draven eyes dulled at the second option, he sighed, said "Hmm, okay... I will take the electric shock!"

Bewildered, Vernon asked "Are you sure?"

"Duh? Exp is like money and I love money... Taking a little pain is much better!" Draven convinced himself with a nod.

Vernon was lost at his stinginess and looked away.

Draven groaned in pain, shocking himself for two minutes straight. Vernon asked "Are you okay?"

Crazed lookin his eyes, his hands quivered, "Hehe... It was worth it!" he muttterd, struggling to grip the floor.

After healing his wounds, Draven skipped to the mall with loaded pockets.

----

Far for him, the same man drapped in black, sat on the roof, clenching his hands in fury and punched the wall. Breaking the concrete beam into pieces.

*Ring* *Ring*

He answered his com, a blue beam of light projected the caller. On the holographic screen, a man with long dark hair, was relaxing in a plush chair, sipping on his whiskey.

His purple sleeves rolled down as he raised his mug, showing his tattooed claw hand.

He said "So, you got him?"

The man replied "No boss, he got away, we tried to force him and fought us... until only I was left"

The Boss pinched the bridge of his nose. The man quickly said "But, he said he will contact us soon!"

Boss said "Haha, looks like you have saved your own skin! Anyway it wasn't surprising that he was able to beat those stinking low levels"

The man nodded, said "Yes. Boss!"

The boss said "By that doesn't excuse you from punishment hehehe"

The man shivered, said "Thank you boss"

The boss said under his breath "How should I explain this to my client?"

"That's all, return to the base. I have another task for you!" boss said, the call ended with a beep.

-------

A shiny mall peeked above the two storey buildings, Draven took a shortcut.

As the latest addition to the city, it had a modern asthethic to its architecture, beautifying the streets with it's unique structure. The rounded cuboid was at least four stories high and ten thousand meters long, with snow-white, smooth surface lined with aqua glass from the center to the ends of the building.

The last two floor didn't have glass. But on the inside it was a different story, the shoppers inside could see a cloudy view of the city.

Draven walked through the parking lot full of hydogen powered cars.

The glass doors swished open to the entering crowd. Draven walked in, passing the first shop of the hundred and fifty stores and a food court with forty restaurants and fast food joints. Had a massive sports & gym center, an entertainment section and a huge ice skating rink below the first floor.

Draven thought 'What should I buy? I know... a nice cologne and some clothes. I am already sick of wearing the same clothes'

An assistant bot followed behind him, carrying his items. Draven thought 'I will stop by at the game center... It's been a while since I last played ice hockey!'

Draven entered Ronox, a luxury perfume shop and bought a couple of expensive cologne. When he exited the shop, people flocked around, a shabbily dressed girl scrowled and had a heated argument with a group of thugs. The passerbys stayed to watch the commotion, rather than helping.

Draven grimaced, scanning the spectators, noticed a couple of security guards blended and pretended like it never happened.

Draven balled his fist. 'Those bastards! If nobody is going to help then I will!'

Vernon voiced his opinion. 'Why do you even care? The guards aren't doing anything because they might be a troublesome group to handle'

Draven fiercely retorted 'I can't just stand here knowing that I can help her! What's the point of having powers when you don't know how to use it? I have powers for a reason!'

"If you want change, then be the freaking change!" Draven said.

Vernon said 'You can't change anything, the world was messed up from the beginning!'

"That's were you are wrong oldie! All it takes is a match to light a fire... If it is messed up then do something about it!

The world is also capable of good!" Draven said his final message and darted into the sea of spectators.

    Pushing through the sea of people and from a slit, he caught a sight of her back. He thought 'Hmm, why do I feel she looks familiar... to someone?' The thug roughly grabbed her hips with a lecherous gaze, she slapped him. His face darkened and frisked her to the floor, she closed her eyes tight and curled her head expecting the blow. And before the man could strike her, Draven jumped over with a flying kick in the face; kicking a meter away. *Bang*The spectators gasped. Slowly her eyes fluttered open, bewildered by the events.

    In the deep spaces of his mind, darkness lurked. Flesh and blood aren't enough to satisfy the great demon, rather the torment of the soul. "Oh, how much I crave for a much tender and succulent soul to feast on..." Through an eerie forest, a dark shadow walked, a blood curdling scream came from below, the still lake. The hoarse wails and the clanging of chains, it was music to his ears. He strolled into the grand palace; his footsteps echoed through the halls. He pushed the giant arched doors and walked to the throne. His subjects chanted his name. 'All hail Kalaraja, Kalaraja... Karlaraja' Detached. Kalaraja passed his chained captives, kneeling on the cold floor. He lounged in his purple cushioned throne, rested a leg on the black armrest. He raised his hand, they stopped chanting. The prisoners then lifted their heads to see their tormentor. They fainted. Underneath his long, blood hair, lied a vicious grin. With hung

Draven expression turned grim, the crowd in the stands changed their tunes, as their cheers rebervated the air. (loud) A lanky, nerd led his team to the other side. The whistle blew again. At first glance, Shawn may not look much. The lanky teen tossed his thick framed glasses, and his facials muscles contorted as they inflated, double the size.

It exploded into thousands of fragments.The ship heaved itself through the cloud of dust, particles ticketed against the surface, drumming on the screen of glass.

"Hmm" the doctor turned from Draven's bed and headed to the bed in the corner. They huddled around, examining the patient.
