Bang! "Do you mind explaining what the hell this is?" slamming the back of a female student against the metallic frame of a locker door, Julian demanded angrily whilst shoving a printed article against the other party's face. "I thought we had a deal?!" Noticing the curious students slowly converging around them, a crafty grin tugged across the corner of Gwen's lips. "I have no idea what you're talking about.. the only thing I did was pure investigative reporting.. naturally excellence like this is often prone to dissatisfying.. those who have something to hide.." she whispered the last six words. An annoyed crease appeared across Julian's forehead. However he also seemed to have noticed the attention they were garnering. As such he sensibly opted to release his grip while backing a couple steps away from Gwen. "I wonder how the Principal is going to feel when he sees this.. the Lightbringer is the school's newspaper, not your own pet project private tabloid.." Smirking, Gwen

Jason slowly rose out from underneath the rubble of the destroyed bleachers as he fixated his gaze on Lizzie. "Tch. You're the Alpha? what is this? a girls night fight?" "Oh really?" Lizzie forced a grin while her brows twitched. [Are you crazy?! why are you intentionally riling her up?!] "You sound panicked?"

"L--Level thirty?!" Jason stared at the information on the system floating screen. Did the system experience a glitch or something?! "Heh. Brat, you seem like you've just seen a ghost.." the level 30 Malevolent squinted his eyes in a predatory manner as it snickered. "Eh?" however his expression suddenly went sullen upon noticing that it failed to elicit the reaction he was expecting "Didn't you just hear what I said? You look like you've just seen a ghost because I am actually a ghost.. hahahaha!!" "Seriously?" Jason's brows twitched as he watched the other party laughing at their own joke. He never knew that Malevolents had a sense of humor. Infact a majority of the Malevolents he's encountered so far were either stone cold silent or desired to consume him. This was the first Malevolent he's encountered that seemed eager to converse with him and even attempt to use pun jokes [Jason..] "What's it.." Jason could sense the panic in Sofia's voice. [You need to run.. right no

Whirl! Whirl! Whirl! "This is supposed to be the Phantom Plane, a place beyond space and time so why do I feel like I've been plunged into the artic tundra?!" Jason complained while trudging across the arid terrain that seemed to stretch out towards the boundless horizon. Besides him was the level 10 Ghost Lord; Alan Jackson. However unlike Jason, Alan's movement were more fluid; obviously because he was already well accustomed with the Phantom Plane's terrain. "It is. However it is a lot more complicated than that.." Alan replied, taking a small pause before he continued. "Right now, we are located at the Fields of Northern Sand.. What you are trudging across isn't the normal sand that you encounter back at the Terra Plane. No, they are actually extremely condensed particles of pure plasmic energy. If it wasn't for your Kincie form, you wouldn't have lasted up to a split second before being submerged.." Jason's brows furrowed. "Let me guess, I don't want to know what happens af

"What do you want to know?" half a minute into their flight, Alan broke the silence. "Three people important to me died.. how do I get their souls back from the Phantom Plane?" Alan paused for a bit before be replied. However this time, his voice sounded grim. "Give up on this pipe dream of yours if you know what's good for you. " "And what's that supposed to be?" "Take a look around you.. what do you see?" "Sand? a bunch load of it?" casting his eyes around as they cruised through the air, all Jason saw was a desert that seemed to stretch beyond the boundless horizon. "This is the Field of Northern Sand. Think of the entire Phantom Plane as a boundless void and the Field of Northern Sand as a small planet thriving within this boundless void.. just a single small unit within a sea of other planets. Except in this case, the concept of Space and time doesn't exist in the Phantom Plane. I don't know how long it's been since I died but during my time, I recalled that space is mer
