Was it the moment that Eflric walked out of the Gotham Tower that he had made up his mind? Or did it go even before that? The moment when he saw that blonde girl on the tiled floor, trembling in her father's arms. Her eyes begging him for help, she looked broken…that expression of superiority that she had on in front of the Principal was ripped off her face harshly. It wasn't the system that this worked with that was wrong, it was the people themselves that are corrupted. What has this got to do with Elfric? All he wanted was to have peace. But that wasn't the case now. Something in him changed. Maybe it was like what Crane said, he has gotten a taste of what he is capable of doing…with Orathan. His life was never going to go back to what it was before that cursed night. Was it indeed cursed? Elfric doubted.His brain was else whereas he roamed the streets of Lauxdale, trying his best to blend in with the crowd of Nobles. He was ignorant if anyone was after him or not, but he got a

XVII. CHANGE THE WORLD ALONE.

Jake was still half dazed as he fought his way up to the top floor of the mansion. Half-blinded by the strong smell of rotting flesh that he was dragging on top of his back, ignorant of the glares and gossip that started the moment that he entered.They all knew better than to stand in his way, knowing who he was and who he was here to see. No one dared interrupt him, especially in the state that he arrived in. The look of anger and terror as he carried the only evidence that would support his cause up there in Shaw Gotham's study."Ash is dead, my Lord," that was what he was supposed to say, but he had no courage to utter these simple words.He knew that to Shaw Gotham, he and Ash were expensive weapons he created and invested in.Imagine his reaction to figure that one of his hundreds of millions worth of investments was smashed like a bug under the boots of a teenager whose name he doesn't even recognize.Jake was stopped by the two guards before him standing between him and the do

XII. ELVES

"What the hell happened?" Elfric breathed out, taking in the ruined state that his friend's face was in. His pupils darting back and forth between the cut on Christopher's thin lips and the bruise that covered the left side of his cheeks. Chris avoided holding gaze with him, dropping his head to stare at his white sneakers instead, completely aware of Elfric's stare that was unfolding all the layers there was to him. He felt his cheeks warm up at the reminder of what happened the night before…the cause of these wounds…his hands brushed over them lightly. The stinging pain made the memory so vivid in mind. The cane sliced through the air to land on his face. Elfric remained silent. Watching his friend closely as his unconsciousness led him towards his desk placing his bag on top of it. "I-its nothing," Chris finally made up his answer. A useless attempt to fool his friend. "You can't possibly think that I am going to buy that, are you?" Elfric growled as he ra

XIII. DARK & LUST

"You brought Elves this time?" Elfric snorted. The strap falling down his shoulder to hang aimlessly at his wrist. A second look at them made him question his own words, they looked every bit human but what just happened made him question that. "Not exactly," Zeph confessed, throwing a glance over his shoulder at the two men behind him. One of them had a sword hanging on his back, dark hair that was similar to the color of his eyes. His face was stripped of any emotion that a human could give, while the other stood with his hands crossed over his chest. A cheesy smirk spread across his face as if the only thing that was stopping him from leaping forward was the redhead between Elfric and him. "They are every bit human," said Zeph. "Just with a little touch here and there.""What?" Elfric uttered. "Come on for Fuck's sake," said the man with the creepy smirk while running a hand through his hawk dark gray hair. Elfric was more stunned with his fangs that were l

XIV. MY FULL NAME.

"You never said that it has to be *my* soul," said Elfric, making sure to emphasize the word letter by letter. He realized that he was ought to give Orathan a couple of minutes to realize what he was hearing. Elfric himself was finding it hard to believe, he never thought that he had it in him to act like this or utter these words. "T-That's true," he stuttered. Elfric scoffed, what are the chances of hearing the devil stutter in his lifetime. But this was how it's supposed to be, Elfric couldn't allow himself to be easy prey for the devil. Not like this...they were going to do this his way. "Then I think we are done with this pip talk," said Elfric as he took a deep breath to settle himself down. "You do know that the soul needs to offer itself to me by complete will, don't you?" Orathan asked, he wanted so bad to try to interrupt this as something else other than him getting conned by the human that he thought was a weak entity driven by determination alon

XV. GOD AND HIS SOLDIERS.

"I can't risk losing this job because of a scene that you are making," Elfric hissed, his bi-colored eyes darkened. Feeling the heat from his chest where the seal now resides. But, it wasn't pain…it was power. He felt his strength coming from the seal and coating him, he felt it in his veins. In his blood and he wasn't going to hold it in. Ash struggled to get up on his feet, particles from the asphalt were falling down his red coat like rain. The broken asphalt beneath his feet cracking under his weight as he wiped the blood that was rolling down his chin. Jake was still unmoving as his eyes dived deep within Elfric's violet eye. "I believe it was a mistake to hold back thinking you were mundane," said Jake. "From this point, don't expect any leniency. We will give you a quick death."Elfric couldn't help but chuckle and twist the corner of his mouth into a sly smirk as he glared at Jake. "Try me," muttered he. The challenge was accepted by Jake this time, f

XVI. WENT TO HELL ALONE.

'Sorry to bother your boring life, but,' Orathan spoke again. 'What are you doing?'Rick ignored him for a moment as he helped a customer pay for her supplies. Aware of the stares that she was giving him from underneath his hood, which was pulled up just enough to cover his hair.Apparently, the owner saw that a ninja cashier would scare away the customers, and he kind of had a point.Rick waited to see the woman leave after she paid. He almost swore that she was walking at a slower pace to continue staring at him, but, thankfully, the entrance wasn't far away from the cashier. "I'm working. Unlike someone who is living rent-free inside of me, I have a family to take care of."'First, I don't need to take anything from this mortal body,' Orathan protested. 'Secondly, you can just make yourself rich! You have me!'Rick sighed heavily."This damn sly devil is never going to shut up, will he?" he mumbled under his breath.'You know I ca

XVIII. DEVIL'S STYLE.

Orathan chuckled a little too loudly in Elfric's ears."I wish that you would cease laughing your ass off inside my head," Rick scoffed.'You are getting more and more daring with every passing day, Elfric Woods,' Orathan stated. Elfric could already picture the creepy smirk that's probably on his face right now.'Just a couple of days ago, you were screaming at yourself in the mirror.'Elfric cleared his throat. The memory wasn't something that he would want to remember, but it wasn't like it was his fault! It was the first time that he has encountered such a thing. All this talk about superpowers and modified humans, celestial beings…he never believed in any of that.He wasn't a full-time atheist, some things were just too hard to believe. Seeing all that hard-to-believe stuff before him was quite…unsettling, so he had to rethink everything he thought was right. Rewrite everything that he had faith and believed in. Now, he can casually sit

XIX. SILENT TOWER.

"H-how did you…"That was all Crane was able to utter before he found himself on his knees under the force of his father's grip on his shoulder. If he thought before that his touch was gentle, then he completely takes it back. All he could feel was his bones getting crushed in his hands. A low groan left his mouth as he held the urge to scream out in agony."Do you think that you can go and wage your tail around without me knowing, Crane?" Shaw growled slowly, emphasizing every word, slowly giving it time to sink deep into Crane's flesh. "You do realize the gravity of what's going on, don't you?"He knew. Why else would he have gone to such lengths if he didn't know!? Orathan wasn't just a demon from hell; he was the prince of darkness, the hell's head. His brother was out of his damned mind to try and summon something like this into his mortal body."I-I do…""And still you thought that sending the only two successful test subjects would do th
