As the sun dipped below the skyline of the city, the shadows of the buildings grew longer.While staring at the sky above the horizon that was hues of orange and golden, Ulmer was eating bread, one delicious morsel at a time. He didn’t add jam, as the bread alone was tasty enough to make him want to enjoy this flavor.He seemed quite relaxed, albeit, his heart was thudding a bit loudly in his chest.The bounty of a trillion dollars was looming over his head like a giant dark cloud that signaled a major storm.Every second for Ulmer felt five to ten seconds longer as he was on the lookout for all possible threats that could come at him at this very moment.Just then, a SUV stopped by the entrance, and a somewhat familiar face stepped out of it.“Leo Sinclair…”He was a college friend of Ulmer.“Why is this guy here?” Ulmer frowned because Leo was a resident of Salem city, so what was he doing now in Bronich city?[Don’t trust anybody, Ulmer.] Dove’s voice rang in his mind. [Even former
Leo was a half-black and a half-white who had been rejected by both sides since he was a young kid. He got the weak body of his black mom, and the abnormally long face of his white dad.He was mocked from a very young age. He was called a goblin. An alien and what not. It was only after he became an adult and grew long hair and a thick beard, he looked so much better.Nevertheless, the number of people who didn’t judge him by his appearance could be counted by fingers.Amelie was one such person who didn’t say ‘ew’ or ‘damn’ after seeing his face.Leo had always dreamed of her becoming his woman, so he couldn’t bear it when she told him to look for another woman.The flower in Leo’s hand fell, and he swiftly took out a gun from his suit, shocking Amelie. “If I can’t have you, no one else can have you, either.”Amelie’s heart sank like never before. She froze in fear, unable to react to such a situation.The guards saw the gun and were raising their guns at him.BANG~!Leo shot at Amel
As the voices in Leo’s head grew louder and stronger, blackness filled his eyes.“STOP IT!” He screamed in pain and suddenly leaped toward Ulmer, viciously clawing at him like a beast. “DIE!”Ulmer deflected his hand easily and caught Leo by his throat. With a squeeze, he sent a black vapor out of Leo’s body.Leo lost consciousness.Ulmer dropped him carefully. “Was that a demonic spirit?”[It definitely is.] Dove’s voice rang in his mind. [I think it’s been controlling him for a while now. Even if it left now, it could return another day, stronger and with more friends.]“That’s scary to even imagine,” Ulmer said. “What can we do to help him? So that he won’t have to be bothered by the demons?”[You could leave some of your spiritual energy in him.] Dove said. [But if you do that, then your existence will become weaker. You’re a clone, after all.]“Can’t I do anything to regain that lost spiritual energy?” Ulmer asked a bit annoyedly.[No, you have a limited amount of it.] Dove repli
A few minutes later.Ulmer brought Leo downstairs, and both of their clothes were completely soaked in rain. Amelie was stunned to see Leo.“W-When did you get to the rooftop?” Amelie was shocked. “Everyone, be careful! This guy has a gun!”“It’s fine, Amelie,” Ulmer said. “I took the gun from him.” He even showed the gun to them before putting it back under his shirt.“I’m sorry for what I tried to do,” Leo was apologizing to Amelie, but Ross quickly came to him and punched him in the face.Leo bled from the nose.“You tried to kill her, and now you’re apologizing?” Ross growled like a beast and attacked Leo with his fists like a bear overtaken by rage.Ulmer didn’t stop Ross, and Leo didn’t even defend himself. He took all the hits and fell to the floor.It was brutal to watch for Mollie and Ruth and others, but none of them stepped in.“Get out of my house before I decide to put a bullet in your head,” Ross told him. “The only reason I’m not killing you is because of the situation
On the level 56 region of Crimia, which was called the stinkiest region among all levels, there lived the Frankfurt family, also known as the great architects of destruction.Felix, Eric, Herbert, Claudia, and Jurgen were just some of the names that were responsible for corrupting all civilizations around the world in the past century, so they could eventually replace everything with a new philosophy, a vampiric philosophy where the lives of humans were treated no different than cattle.So, they started by destroying the family structure, by dividing the elders and the rest of the family, by making divorce and abortion as easy as possible, by creating schools that would create workers instead of entrepreneurs. And the list goes on.Everything that would happen on the surface of the earth would happen in reverse on this level 56.Men were dressed up as women and were treated as slaves by the female vampires that lived there. A normal human instinct would be to protect the children, but
A tall young lady in her late twenties was chained in her bedroom. She was slim yet muscular and had many flower tattoos on her body. Her hair was so red it looked like it was painted with blood.A maid entered the room and put a plate before her. There was a raw human brain and a glass full of fresh blood on it.“Young Lady… you haven’t eaten anything in over a month,” the maid worriedly said. “You should eat something, or you will go crazy.”The young lady, Abbie, glanced at the food and said, “Take that shit away. I don’t want to eat food like a pet, chained and forced to eat whatever its master tosses.”“Madam Claudia has told me to make sure you eat something,” the maid said. “Please don’t force me to feed you.”Abbie lifted her head slightly and looked at the gray-haired maid. “Don’t get ahead of yourself just because you raised me. I’m in a bad mood right now, so leave my room. Take this food away.”The maid frowned initially but then picked up the plate and started eating the
It was night time, and the elderly were sleeping in their rooms like little children with their mouths open.Ulmer covered a blanket on Mollie, but she removed it and mumbled something in her sleep, which made Ulmer smile.He had promised her he’d play snake and ladders with her tomorrow because she had asked him to join the game. Mollie, Calvin and Fiona played it for hours that day, and Mollie lost most of the time, so she wanted her grandson to win against the couple and save her face!Ulmer walked out of the room and saw Amelie and Ben in the lobby, with her reading a book for him out loud.It reminded Ulmer of his childhood when his dad used to read a book for him and his sisters. Every night after bathing, his dad would read classic children’s stories as a routine, and it would light the fire in their minds and hearts. School, however, completely ruined that beautiful experience as his dad stopped reading books for him since he joined school.It happened only for a short time, b
“They’re not ordinary, but do they think that the barrier will go away if I lose my consciousness?” Ulmer stepped out of the building and raised his hand.All the gas was collected into his palm and got compressed into a spinning ball of solid mass. He flicked it and sent it flying through the barrier, and it fell in the opposite building, where a few people in tight black clothing like mummies were all lying in wait.The ball hit the floor and burst into gas once again.“Shit!” they all ran away in different directions as fast they could and managed to escape from the gas, inhaling it as little as possible.Soon, all of them gathered on the rooftop of that seven-floored apartment. There were just five of them.“Who are you guys?” Ulmer appeared on the rooftop in a flash, with his hands placed behind his back.He could see the number C103 on all their foreheads.[I think they’re from Crimia.] Dove said.“What’s that?”[The underground city that’s beneath the Bronich city.]Ulmer was s
