Chapter: ParanormanAn eerie presence flowed out from within the manor. It was like frost itself crept up along Marcus's skin. The hair on his arms stood on end ever since River opened the Manor's doors.He could sense it right from where he stood: whatever ghost was inside this building, did not want either of them there.Squeezing the handle of the SEJ that he'd been holding since Parks left, he steeled his resolve. He knew soul essence was cold, but the feeling that rubbed against his skin was different somehow.Parks said that if soul essence left the body, nothing could live, but weren't OCs beings of pure soul essence? He didn't describe humans or Witchcasters like that—according to him, Witchcasters were humans with an absurd amount of soul essence, letting them do the impossible.The only other thing he described as being totally made of soul essence was soul stones. And any information on what those were was something he wouldn't be told until he passed.But since OCs were made of soul essence a

Chapter: Mission impossible He laughed inwardly because he obviously didn't hear the last thing Parks said clearly.They couldn't touch ghosts?Even as a Witchcaster?Funniest joke he'd heard all day.Why in the world would they make him fight something he couldn't even touch?“You're joking, right?“ asked Marcus with a grin.River and Parks exchanged looks without so much as smirking. “No,” said Parks.Marcus convinced himself not to panic.So when Parks said 'we can't touch ghosts,' he meant we as in, the CC and all its Witchcasters?Then how the hell was he supposed to fight what he couldn't touch?“Even with soul essence, I can't grab them or something?“ Maybe getting in this car was a mistake.“You can't grab ghosts,” said Parks. “Only ghosts can grab ghosts. Ghosts are made of soul essence. You being able to grab them means soul essence would have to leave your body—a piece of your soul grabbing a soul.“The issue with that is soul essence doesn't exactly leave your body. If it did you'd die. Remember, sou

Chapter: Once upon a soul...As he did, Marcus couldn't help but push his hands against the seats. Each time he pushed into it, they pushed back. They were both soft and springy; he couldn't even tell what material they were made of.He sank into the chair, enjoying the feeling of what he'd imagined lying on clouds would feel like. That, coupled with the cool inside of the car despite it being cramped… he was beginning to understand car guys.It smelled like strawberries, masculinity, and rich folk. How that combination worked together, he didn't know, but he knew that he wouldn't mind living in a car if it were this one.“That's enough kid,” River said, turning behind her chair. “Don't get your loser all over the seats.““Haha, very funny,” Marcus said sarcastically.He was still unsure of how he'd approach her after the whole spat they had yesterday.Sure, he was still mad at her for all that she said, and was he going to make her eat her words? Hell yeah he was.But she said those things because she was hurtin

Chapter: I pulled up in a new BugattiThe annoying beeping of his phone alarm woke him from the most epic dream, (where he killed two massive OCs and Lucan Silas, saving the world and erasing all OCs from the face of the earth).He sprang up from his bed with one eye barely open and his brain still booting.A second later and he was fully awake.His gaze darted across the room before landing on the alarm clock. It blinked 7am. Marcus's brows furrowed.“Seven am? River and Parks'll be here by eight…”Shit!He darted from his bed, moving like a whirlwind as he organised all his clothes, took his bath, brushed his teeth, and silenced the alarm clock before leaving his room.Rushing to the living room, he ran past his mother and headed straight to the kitchen—she was eating breakfast and watching Love Island.“Dios mío, Mars, you join the cartel? Where are you headed in such a rush? It's Saturday,” she yelled from the living room.“I've got plans with friends,” he yelled back as he searched for food.Getting ready and cleanin

Chapter: Soul GameIt wasn't from the hunger (it couldn't be, he'd gotten his fill recently), which meant it was the recoil.It wasn't unbearable, but it was enough to take note of. He was used to pain, and this amount was manageable, especially given the damage it caused.Aside from that though, he took note of the speed of his attack.His own fist moved like a blur, faster than he could see. Before he knew it, his fist landed on the tree and pain followed.“I could do more…” he said, pondering on the sight in front of him. The tree continued to splinter, tearing under the weight of its displaced upper half.It fell over and tore in two, kicking up some dust and wind. He looked at his aching sides, “Maybe not.“Six threads were the safe limit for now. Anything more than eight would almost definitely do significant damage to his insides, but now he knew how much damage he could output before crippling himself—and it wasn't small.Zero for humans, two for OCs that looked weak, four for moderately strong

Chapter: J̶i̶m̶m̶y̶ N̶e̶u̶t̶r̶o̶n̶ Marcus MoonClover Hill Commons.A park that's been totally forgotten by anyone not named Marcus Moon.But he couldn't blame anyone; there wasn't much to remember this park by.The grass was dead, what little amenities it had were beyond rusted, and he was ninety percent sure this park was home to every horror movie antagonist ever.It was the perfect place to host a teenage rave that'll get half the cast of dimwitted characters killed. And yet, he felt at home here.The park was awkwardly placed behind an abandoned warehouse and shoemaking factory. Past those, you'd need to go down a slope, trek through mossy water and then try to find the gate covered in overgrowth.His feet were still dripping with water, but a warm smile sat across his face.He loved this park and all the memories he had here.Back since he remembered gaining consciousness, his dad would take him here to watch the stars come out at night.He'd point at a big red light in the sky and say, “Look, Marcus, it's you.

Chapter: Till next time.With the pact made amongst one another, talks about the ORA continued, and eventually everyone started sharing their experiences specifically with them.One-way or the other, it eventually divulged into a topic of backstorues, making all the students share details of their transformations during the search for Sidney and Earl.They all were glad to hear that Williams lost his stutter. Hearing his back story and what happened to him only lit a fire in their hearts concerning the ORA.They'd hated them deeply already, but to think they'd take advantage of abandoned children like that... It reminded them that there was nothing the ORA weren't willing to do for their goal.Giving them all the more reason to train and become strong enough to fight them and take them down.Henry revealed the promise he made with his village elder, and everyone showed their support, especially Crystal and Ruby.Earl, Sidney, Annie, and Ruby never knew anything about this, and how could they?

Chapter: A pact formed, looking into the futureJake laid down on his back, completely shocked silent. He watched Earl distinguished the attack he would've hit Jake with, before smiling and saying the words, "I win."It took a moment for Jake to realise it, but he'd lost the match. The final match in the mini tournament that they were holding, he'd lost that match. He'd lost to Earl.He was completely shocked by the whole thing. The moment he and Earl's fists collided, he felt the brunt of Earl's attack send him flying backwards, and he saw Earl fly off too.But it seemed Earl either recovered insanely quickly, or Jake was thrown a lot harder by Earl's attack than he would've liked to think he did.Before he knew it, Earl was standing over him with an attack ready to be launched straight at him.For some reason his mind went back to when they were kids, back when he'd bully Earl, call him names, and always boss his around because he was stronger than he was.He then remembered the fight that happened back in the entrance exams, the

Chapter: Jake vs Earl, the final showdown"Flaming lotus!" Said Earl. "Vortex!" Said Jake. "Whoa!" Said Sidney, "what the hell are those moves?" He asked. "I don't know... But this is getting fun," said Crystal.Both Crystal and Sidney knew that Earl was going to lose the contest no matter what. It didn't really matter what happened when it came to him, he'd already lost two matches, nothing could make up for that now.However the situation for Jake was different. If he won, he would 'officially' be the strongest soon to be second year student in the entire school.Earl wasn't fighting to win, or at least not to win the current mini tournament they were all having. He was fighting for his pride, he was fighting to win and prove himself.Jake was fighting for the same reason. For the longest time he'd been on top of Earl when it came to power and fighting prowess. Ever since Earl got his alchemy, he'd been growing extremely fast, but he still hadn't been able to beat Jake once.This fight wasn't just for the title of strongest

Chapter: Match end, Final match startAs the smoke cleared from the battle fought, on the floor was Jake and Sidney, both with satisfied looks on their faces.Earl and Crystal had their mouths held open in complete shock. They had a feeling the match would end quickly, but not in one attack.Both of them had their mouths held open in complete and utter shock and confusion. Crystal slowly turned to look and Earl, and Earl slowly turned to look at Crystal."That was..." Said Earl, "... So cool," said Crystal. Their shocked expressions slowly turned into huge smiles."Those guys are crazy," laughed Crystal. "I know right... They're even crazier than I am," said Earl with a huge smile on his face.Both of them hopped down from the training dummies and made their way over to the middle of the training grounds.Sidney and Jake were both huffing and puffing on the floor, breathing heavily. Blood ran down the side of both their faces."Wh-what... are we gonna... do now?" Said Jake. "What do you mean?" Said Sidney, "I won that fig

Chapter: Jake Vs SidneyThe explosion was large and huge, far bigger than what anyone was expecting. Not Jake, not Sidney, not Crystal, not Earl.However as the dust slowly settled, the aftermath came into view. The dome of crystals that Crystal had made to protect herself from Earl's attack was shattered to pieces, with only a few stems of crystals sticking out of the ground.Earl was standing there, with his hand held out, and with dust all over him. He began coughing as he waved his hand in front of his face, trying to clear away the dust.It didn't work very well. Earl opened one eye, looking at the place where Crystal was supposed to be. The dust hadn't cleared up, and as a result, he hadn't seen her to confirm she was down.'On second thought, maybe I used way too much firepower,' thought Earl, 'I hope she's okay,' he thought to himself.As he looked down into where she was once—the shattered dome of crystals, he saw a silhouette, one that closely resembled Crystal. It wasn't moving, and it was laid d

Chapter: Winning, Earl Vs CrystalSidney was there, holding himself up using nothing but one of his hands, and with a crystal spike not too far away from his throat, he accepted whole heartedly that he lost the fight."I can win her in close quarters combat," said Crystal. "That's probably what you were thinking right?" She smiled. Sidney couldn't help but see the irony of the whole situation.He'd known that the Lloyd's were stronger than normal, but he'd put his hopes in his enhanced body holding out. And it was the right call at the end. He bet on himself and won.His enhanced body proved strong enough to withstand the 100% force of the Lloyd's, but what he'd misjudged was Crystal's battle iq.She waited for the instant his hand made contact with the floor and picked her moment to strike perfectly.As Sidney remained upside down, he dispersed the mana he'd gathered in his throat, allowing the tiny alchemy circle to show itself.A mouth came out from the alchemy circle, biting repeatedly like a pair of jittering tee
