Alex was grinning when a young man walked out of the school and approached him.

"Kid, are you lost? What are you doing here?" He asked Alex who stopped grinning and turned to look at him.

"Yes, I'm lost," he replied to the man.

"How about getting enrolled in the school?" The young man asked him.

"What are the requirements?" Alex asked him.

"Actually, we are short of students in the school and as a result of that, we need more students. The requirements aren't necessary as long as you agree to become one of us," the young man replied.

"I think you should agree," Arthur said to Alex who seemed reluctant. Hearing what he said, Alex decided to agree.

"Okay, I'm in," he replied to the young man.

"Then follow me," the young man said and began to head back to the school. Alex followed behind and as soon as they went into the school, he was surprised.

"It's a new school," he commented while looking around.

"Yes, that is why we need more students," the young man replied.

"Oh," Alex mumbled while looking around the school. The school buildings were still new indicating that it was just newly built.

"This is the Dean's office, let's go in," the young man said to him as they approached one of the buildings. He pushed open the door and they walked in, an elderly man was sitting on his chair with a book in his hand.

Seeing the door open, the elderly man stopped what he was doing and looked up.

"Kelvin, who is the kid?" He asked the young man whose name is Kelvin.

"Dean, I saw him lost outside the school and decided to bring him in. He agrees to become our student," Kelvin replied.

"Oh," the Dean mumbled and turned to Alex, staring at him for a while before speaking. "What is your name, kid?" He asked him.

"My name is Alex," Alex replied, wondering why the man stared at him the way he did. "Is there any problem with me?" He turned and asked Kelvin who shook his head.

"No, not at all," he replied with a faint smile.

"Kelvin, take the kid and show him around. Take him to his hostel as well and show him to the other kids," the Dean said and continued reading the book he was reading before they walked into his office.

"Okay, sir," Kelvin said and took Alex out of the office.

Outside the office, Alex turned to look at Kelvin, the young man didn't seem all that happy as well.

"Kelvin, is there a problem?" He asked him.

"There is none," Kelvin replied.

"I know the Dean doesn't like me," Alex said to Kelvin who turned and looked at him in surprise. "Is it because I am not strong yet?" He asked him.

Kelvin wanted to deny it at first but seeing the look on Alex's face, he sighed. "The Dean seems a little bit disappointed after he was not able to sense any aura from you," he replied.

"What do you mean by aura?" Alex asked him, seeming a bit lost.

"Let's get moving and I'll explain that to you," Kelvin replied as they left the Dean's building. On their way, he began. "Aura could be said to be the level of your power. Even though you don't have one, you should at least have a faint aura around you, the Dean is capable of seeing people's aura and so since he didn't see yours, he became disappointed."

"If he is disappointed, why didn't he send me away?" Alex asked him after listening to his explanation.

"He may look like someone who isn't considerate, but trust me, the Dean is a good old man. He allows you to stay because he believes there is room for improvement," Kelvin replied.

"So he believes I can become strong?" Alex asked him and he nodded. "I'll try my best not to disappoint then," he concluded with a determined look on his face.

"I'll be by your side to guide you," Kelvin said to him and after that, he began to show him around school. When he was done taking him to the important places, he finally took him to see other students like him. When they got to the class, he halted at the entrance and turned to Alex. "When we get in, be on your best behavior. Most of the kids don't know how to speak and as such, they hurt others with their words. Do well to ignore them, alright?" He said to him.

"As long as they don't insult or try to hurt me, we are good," Alex replied.

"Very well then," Kelvin said and pushed open the door. There were only a few students in the class with a teacher at the front, the moment Kelvin walked in, they got up in excitement.

"Master Kelvin!" They called in excitement but seeing the kid behind him, most of them frowned immediately while some kept quiet as they gazed at him.

Kelvin walked to the female teacher and handed Alex to her.

"Kelvin, who is the handsome kid?" The female teacher asked Kelvin.

"I saw him outside the school and brought him in," Kelvin replied.

"I see. So... he'll be one of us, right?" She asked him.

"Of course. The Dean asked to show him around and show him to the other kids," Kelvin replied.

"Alright, let him introduce himself to everyone," the female teacher requested and Kelvin signaled to Alex to introduce himself.

"My name is Alex and I'm sixteen," Alex said while facing the class. He looked at all the kids there and noticed that most of them didn't look happy.

"Alex, you are welcome to my class. I'm your homeroom teacher, Rita," the female teacher said to Alex. "Now that you've introduced yourself, you can go and find somewhere to sit down, the class is just getting started," she said to him and he nodded and went over to one of the empty seats at the back and occupied it.

After making sure that Alex was comfortable, Kelvin had no more worries but before he left the class, he went to him and lowered himself.

"Hey, if you aren't comfortable about anything, let me know immediately, okay?" He whispered to Alex.

"Okay," Alex replied, and then Kelvin stood up and left the class.

  • Death-Touch

    Klein's bloodied hand clutched Alex's ankle like a vice, his nails digging in with the last strength his battered body could muster."H–help me… please," he whispered, his voice breaking with desperation. His lips quivered, and though his eyes were dulling, a faint spark of will lingered in them.Alex froze, staring down at him. "What do you want me to do for you?" His tone was flat, as though he already knew the answer."I–I don't want to die yet…" Klein rasped, tears spilling from the corners of his eyes, mixing with the blood caked on his face.Alex's brows knitted together. He clenched his fists. "…I'm not a god. I can't save you." His words were cold, detached. He tried to step back, but Klein's grip tightened."What the hell do you want?" Alex hissed, his voice carrying louder than he meant.The sound made several of the monsters stir. Their countless eyes twitched and swiveled toward the noise. Though they had no sight, their long ears twitched, honing in.Klein coughed violent

  • Curse Monsters Attack

    The dining hall was filled with the clatter of trays and low chatter when the first BOOM rolled through the air. Plates rattled, spoons clinked to the floor, and dozens of startled eyes shot upward."What was that?" a boy whispered, his fork hovering midair."An accident? Construction?" another muttered nervously.But when no second sound followed, the tension bled away. Conversations resumed. Students bent back over their food, forcing themselves to believe it was nothing.Then came the second noise.A deafening CRASH! directly behind the hall — this time so close the walls shook. Cups toppled, soup spilled, and panicked gasps broke out. Before anyone could speak, the back wall of the dining hall exploded inward, bricks and splinters raining down on the terrified first-years.Out of the rubble crawled monsters.They were abominations of flesh and eyes — too many eyes, each blinking wetly, staring in every direction at once. Some bore twisted human legs grafted onto their grotesque to

  • Blessing In Disguise

    "Are you willing to become a demon to save him?"Arthur's voice was cold, echoing through the dim room as he pointed a clawed finger at Alex's chest — the boy's still body rising and falling shallowly with poisoned breaths.Raphael froze. His eyes widened. The words struck him like lightning.Demon? His mind reeled. Alex… has something to do with demons?Arthur tilted his head, studying him with a predator's curiosity. "I expected you to panic. To scream. Yet you're calm." He stroked his chin. "Interesting. But enough stalling. I'll ask again — are you willing?"Silence thickened between them. Raphael's gaze flicked from Arthur to Alex, then back again. Finally, his jaw tightened. He nodded.Arthur's eyes glimmered. "Why?"Raphael fumbled in his pocket, pulling out pen and paper. His hands shook as he scrawled quickly, then lifted the note.Arthur leaned forward, reading aloud with a curl of amusement on his lips. "The reason isn't necessary." He chuckled. "So be it. Let's begin."He

  • Poisoned

    The ward was silent, save for the steady rasp of Alex's shallow breathing. He lay motionless on the infirmary bed, his skin pale and damp with sweat. Black veins crept like ink across his neck, pulsing faintly as though alive.Beside him, Derek, Kelvin, and the nurse stood in grim silence. Each wore a mask of worry, but none more than Kelvin, who clasped Alex's hand tightly, unwilling to let go."This is… unexpected," Derek muttered, his brows furrowed. His voice was low, but his unease was plain. Though he tried to remain composed, the weight of responsibility pressed down on him. It was his order that sent Alex into danger. His choice. And now the boy's life was slipping away before his eyes.The nurse's expression darkened as she examined Alex's condition. "The demonic poison in him is acting faster than I feared," she whispered. Her hands trembled. "If nothing is done, it will consume his vitals. He won't survive the night."Kelvin's head snapped up. "Die? No—there must be somethi

  • Demonic Tree

    The hill loomed before Alex, its jagged slopes cutting into the sky like the back of a beast. At its base, half-concealed behind brambles and stone, yawned the mouth of a cave. Cold air drifted from its depths, carrying with it a pressure that sank into Alex's chest. His skin prickled, every nerve warning him away.The source was clear. Demonic energy pulsed from within, dense and suffocating. It was nothing like the faint traces he had sensed before; this was overwhelming, ancient, oppressive. His instincts screamed at him to turn back.And yet… his feet refused to obey. Curiosity burned hotter than caution."Just a glance," he muttered, steeling his nerves.He placed one foot inside.A blast of force surged outward, a wave of invisible power that chilled his blood and made his bones rattle. Alex stumbled back, shivering. His breath clouded in the air, though no frost touched the stone.Still, he pressed on.The deeper he went, the darker it became. The walls seemed to close around h

  • Test

    The four of them left the office and entered a nearby chamber. The air inside was colder, heavier. In the center of the room stood a massive steel tube, so tall it disappeared into the ceiling. Strange runes flickered faintly along its surface, pulsing with an otherworldly energy. Alex approached, craning his neck to see the top — but it vanished into darkness. "Where does it lead?" he asked. Derek pressed a finger to his lips. "That is a secret." He placed his palm against the tube and a hidden panel slid open with a hiss. The air vibrated with power. "This," Derek explained, "is your test. Once inside, the tube will transport you to another realm. A place crawling with monsters — of every shape, class, and size. Your task is simple: survive until your time runs out." Alex stiffened. His heart thudded once, heavy. He had thought it would be written work, physical training… anything but this. Just hearing Derek describe the creatures made his skin crawl. Michael smirked, enjoyin
