Jackson was spewed abruptly out of the portal. Covered by bone spikes, he braced himself for another incoming attack. But none came. There was no one around.

He gained control of his body, doing multiple flips till he landed on the ground. There was not a single sound from the landing impact. As a Doppelganger he had a body coordination beyond anything one could imagine.

He looked around, trying to figure out where he was. He was standing in an abandoned building which was empty. Puffs of dust danced all around him, cobwebs swaying gracefully to the wind.

The smell of copper drifted into his nostrils. It was metallic, like blood. His muscles were instantly pulled taut. Blood. This was the smell of blood. His instincts told him that there was danger.

He looked around every spot intently. But there was no sign of blood. Not even a single stain. It seemed as an unknown person had washed off the blood. Despite this, the smell still lingered.

"Where am I?" he muttered to himself as he took

  • Chapter Fifty: Wings of an Angel

    Jackson found himself standing in front of a large building. It was painted red, a sign at the top of the gigantic bronze door which read: "The Museum."He noticed something odd about his surroundings. There wasn't any living or nonliving thing, except for the bloody fog. It shrouded the entire place, reducing visibility to zero. Jackson was surprised how he could see the building in front of him."Go ahead," a familiar voice drilled into his ears. It was filled with aloofness and disgust.It was then, that Jackson was reminded how he got here and why. The Curious Mythologists—they were the ones who had brought him here. Or else, the Twilight would have captured or killed him."Where the hell am I?" Jackson spun swiftly and glared at Orpheus. He seemed to be the current leader of the Curious Mythologists."Consequently, you're in the Museum," Orpheus replied with glee. He disliked Jackson so much—the Shadow had turned a blind eye to his close friend's disappearance."The Museum?" Jac

  • Chapter Forty nine: "I Came With My Gang"

    A heavy silence lingered within the antic hall. The two Doppelgangers stared at each other, neither taking any action. Their figures were reflected on the marble floor and walls."You've been cornered," Dan finally broke the silence. "There's no way you're going to escape."Jackson smiled. "How are you sure about that?"Dan narrowed his eyes. He wasn't sure about that. Earlier, this young Doppelganger had been captured by an unknown assailant. He had expected that whoever had captured Jackson would keep him for a long period of time. Who would have thought that the Shadow would somehow be released?Did he escape or was he released on purpose? The Dwayne family's private bodyguard asked himself. The shadows continued dancing around him, causing his expression to turn colder. It was as if he was a god of darkness on earth.If Jackson had being other Cursed, he would have been scared out of his wits. But he was an Archangel vessel—he had seen things scarier than this."Then I'm going to

  • Chapter Forty eight: Collective Operation

    "I should contact Uriel?" Jackson could not believe his ears. His eyes moved between Orpheus, Evil Buddha and Crying God suspiciously."Yes," Orpheus replied. "We need his help right now. We wouldn't have made contact with you if it wasn't a matter of life and death.""You mean, you wouldn't have attacked me?" Jackson asked.The trio stared at each other without responding. They needed Jackson's consent in order to speak with the Archangel. If it was up to them, they wouldn't have contacted Jackson at all. The 17 year-old teenager had already gone through a lot, losing his father in this dark world."We're sorry for attacking you," Evil Buddha took over, seeing that the kid was waiting for an apology. Orpheus was too arrogant to apologize while Crying God was amused. So it fell on his shoulders.Jackson threw a contemptuous glance at Orpheus and Crying God. "Those two don't seem sorry at all.""Believe me, they do," Evil Buddha glanced at the duo. "It's just that we're going through a

  • Chapter Forty six: Deadly Situation

    Jackson Eden stood inside the room of a hotel which he had booked some days earlier. He was looking out of the window, his black eyes narrowed in focus.The sun was high up in the sky, looking down on the earth with its glorious shine. A babel of voices could be heard outside the hotel, people striding about the street without care for one another. They had countless things to do. There were a few who trudged across the street, their expression empty and appearance shabby.Jackson paid attention to all the details around him. He was still wanted by the government so he had to be very careful. He could feel the soft caress of the wind behind his neck. But somehow, he felt very hot.After all, this operation he was about to undertake would turn out to be the most dangerous of them all. He was going to infiltrate the Dwayne Manor and steal a very powerful Cursed ingredient."I still don't know why I'm doing this," he mused to himself. "I mean, you're the Angel of Darkness... Creating som

  • Chapter Forty five: The Solution

    The Curious Mythologists sat in utter silence around the table, their heads hung low. Like a chandelier, there was this atmospheric gloom which lingered around. Although they didn't speak, one could still feel the raging flicker of emotions beneath the noiselessness.Everyone, except for Daniel Stark, was present at the meeting. And it was a valid cause for the stygian unrest which they were all experiencing right now. Their leader was gone, vanished into thin air like a story which had lost its meaning.Several thoughts drifted in the hearts of the Curious Mythologists. Questions begging to be answered quickly. And these questions were all but the same: What happened to Daniel Stark? How did he suddenly vanish from Crimson Springs?Of course, no one was there to answer their dreadful questions or sooth their distressing hearts. And so they continued to bask in their harrowing thoughts.Finally, Orpheus coughed lightly, jolting them out of their intense thoughts. One by one, the droop
