The beast, enraged by its sudden collision with the tree, charged towards Alister with renewed ferocity. Its antlers gleamed with a deadly sharpness, and its eyes burned with an unquenchable fury.

Alister, still reeling from the revelation of the Velox skill, stumbled backwards in alarm. His mind racing, he desperately sought a way to defend himself against the beast’s onslaught.

But as he raised his hands, he felt a strange, tingling sensation. In that moment, he felt no control over his body.

And then, in an instant, Alister’s eyes shone with the otherworldly blue light once more. The air around him rippled, and he felt himself switching places with a nearby rock.

The beast, mere Inches away from striking Alister, found itself facing a solid, unyielding boulder instead. Its antlers crashed against the rock, sending shards of stone flying in all directions.

Alister, now standing where the rock had been, gazed at the beast with a mixture of awe and trepidation. He had done it

  • Chapter 1: The Night the World Shattered

    The air was crisp and cold, the sky covered by dark clouds that pulsed like veins. Lightning forked without sound, and the cold heavy rain poured without mercy. “Mom! Dad! Eliana! Lisa! No, please, don’t leave me” Damian yelled, kneeling under the rain, the headless-body of his mother clenched tightly to his arms. Damian was soaked by the rain and in blood, crying in agony, cold, shaking, alone. “Why? Why did you do this? What did we ever do to you?” His voice echoing into the open, as he screamed in rage. The man stood before Damian—quiet, his golden eyes starting at him with a glowing intensity. Then a smirk crawled on his lips. The sight of the man’s expression sent a shiver down his spine.“Wh-What are you?” Damian cried, his jaw trembling, tears flowing, limbs shaking in horror, water dripping from all over, his soaked clothes clinging to his childish structure as slowly crawling backwards. … … (Now, I know your probably wondering “what the hell’s going on?” so let’s rewin

  • Chapter Two Ashes of Dawn

    The rain had stopped. The storm had moved on, leaving behind a gray, lifeless dawn. Mist hung low over the forest, clinging to the trees like a veil. The world was eerily quiet, the ground soaked and muddy, littered with shattered glass, twisted metal, and the smeared remains of a family once whole. Blue and red lights flashed through the trees. Sirens broke the silence, their howls cutting through the morning fog as the first squad car pulled to a stop near the ravine. Moments later, an ambulance followed. “Over here!” an officer called out, stumbling down the slick slope. Another cop gasped behind him as his flashlight illuminated the overturned car, the bodies strewn around it. One of the paramedics whispered a curse under his breath at the sight. Blood had painted the earth, soaked into the grass, dried on metal and skin. Then they saw him. Curled beside his mother’s body, caked in blood and mud, was a boy—barely nine. His face was pale, his eyes wide open but vacant, stari

  • Shadows of the sand

    Darkness enveloped everything, and then, suddenly, the sound of murmured conversations filled the air. Alister's ears strained to make out what was being said, but the words remained indistinct.The camera panned out, Alister's body came into view, lying on the forest floor beside a headless corpse. The view drifted forward, and a demon's grotesque features came into focus. The demon's dead eyes seemed to be fixed on something, a little girl hiding behind a tree.The sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, and soon, a group of villagers emerged from the trees. They cautiously approached the scene, taking in the carnage before them. After checking the bodies, they discovered that Alister was still alive.The villagers carefully lifted Alister and began to make their way back to the town. As they walked, they took the little girl out of the forest and took her back with them.Few minutes later…Alister slowly came to, finding himself in a cozy bed in one of the village homes. The v

  • Beyond the Brink

    “such speed!” The demon whispered, his entire body trembling.Alister walked calmly towards a nearby tree, the little girl still clutched in his arms. He gently set her down at the base of the trunk, his eyes never leaving the demon's face. The girl looked up at him with wide, tear-stained eyes, “you’ll be fine, I’ll make the bad demon go away” Alister smiled reassuringly and turned back to face the demon.With a composed expression, Alister began to walk towards the demon, his footsteps quiet on the forest floor. The demon, still reeling from he had just witnessed, watched him approach with a mixture of fear and anger.As Alister drew closer, the demon let out a deafening roar and charged forward, its massive fists swinging wildly. But Alister was a blur of motion, dodging and weaving around the demon’s blows with ease. His speed was incredible, his movements almost imperceptible as he danced around the demon’s attacks.The demon was powerful, its blows capable of shattering trees an

  • Demon's Death

    “Grrr!! Let go of me!” Alister tried to yell, his voice bearly about a whisper, his face folding from the pain. The demon’s grip tightened, threatening to choke him to death “who is this child Gorin?”Fear crept into Gorin, he stumbled backwards, falling on his behind, his voice trembling. “Tha…Tha…Tha…Tha…That’s Alister!!!”Gorin’s reply stroke a cord within the demon, it’s expression shocked and afraid “Impossible!!, it can’t be.” He said.Alister was in pain, barely able to breath, he held the demon’s hand, trying to loosen it’s grip.He looked to Gorin’s direction, “Wh…what are you doing here Gorin?”, “don’t tell me that you are with this demon”. He said, his voice faint as he looked into Gorin’s eyes.The demon’s grip tightened even more, as it raised Alister above it’s head. “silence!!. “Tell me boy, who are you?”.Alister gauzed down at the demon, his eyes locking in his “My name is Alister!” His ocean blue eyes emitting an otherworldly glow.A chill ran down the demon’s spin

  • Encounter

    The night was a shroud of darkness, the cold wind whispering an unsettling melody through the crinkling open windows, wooden floors and the rustling leaves. Time itself seemed to be measured by the ominous ticking of the clock, echoing through the room like a death knell. Alister lay motionless, his body trapped in a fitful slumber. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Slowly but surely, Alister awoken “damn, I must have slept off”. The knock was heard again, leaving Alister in shock, “who is that” Alister whispered. “Is that you, Jade?” he added, his tone low.There was no response, no alteration of words, just the lingering echoes of the mysterious knock.Fear crept in, but Alister got up, approaching the door. Reaching for the handle, he slowly opened the door. The door made a squeaking noise as it slowly opened.Behold, Alister’s heart began to race, a cold sweat ran down his face as a paralyzing fear gripped his spine. Before Alister, stood an empty corridor, the source of
