THE HOLLOW VICTORY
Dana’s chest rose and fell unevenly, blood was soaking through the fine silk of her gown. Her hand trembled as it stretched weakly toward her son. Her eyes were wide, filled with despair, but her lips no longer carried the power to speak.Marvin stood over her, his storm-like aura circling tighter, making the air vibrate with its weight. He did not blink. He did not flinch. He simply watched.And then, with one final, broken gasp, Dana Orion’s hand dropped. Her eyes rolled lifeless, fixed on nothing. The matriarch of the Richmond family—the woman who had made his father banish him and his mother into shame—was gone.The chamber was silent except for the ringing in Marvin’s ears and the faint crackle of his aura.“Mother!” Daniel’s scream shattered that silence.He pushed himself off the ground, blood dripping from his head. His arms shook as he tried to stand. His whole body trembled like a collapsing wall, but he still forced himself forward. His eyes were wide, wild, filled with rag
THE FERALITY OF VENGEANCE
The heavy steel door creaked open.“Daniel, what—”The voice was sharp, steady, the kind of voice that carried command without effort. Dana Orion, proud matriarch of the Richmond family, stepped into the chamber.Her eyes swept the room quickly, landing on her son first, then shifting to the figure cloaked in a storm of sky-blue aura.Her lips parted. She froze.The sight of Marvin, battered but blazing with raw Synapticore energy, stripped the air from her lungs. He was no longer the faceless rider she had dismissed. He was a storm given flesh, his aura was a living weapon.And though his disguise shielded his face, the fury—the weight of it—spoke volumes.Dana staggered back a step, her chest was tightening with dread.Marvin turned slowly, his glowing eyes fixing on her. For a moment, the world grew quiet. His breath was ragged, his aura pulsed like thunder, but his mind was sharp, cruel, steady.Seeing her ripped open memories he had buried under years of pain.He saw himself as a
THE SKY-BLUE STORM
The blast still burned in Marvin’s chest. His body ached from the force, the smell of scorched fabric and smoke was rising around him. He coughed, the metallic taste of blood flooding his mouth, and through the haze of pain, he saw him.Daniel Richmond.He stood at the far end of the workshop, tall and composed, his forehead was glowing with that deadly sky-blue mark. The laser beam that had struck Marvin moments ago still shimmered faintly. It was a crown of raw power. Daniel’s lips curled into a grin as a laugh broke from his chest—dark, sharp, and mocking.“You actually came,” Daniel said, his voice was cold as steel. “I knew you would. I’ve been waiting for this moment, Marvin. Waiting for you to crawl into my den, broken and hungry for revenge.”Marvin’s hands clenched against the cracked floor. Rage surged in his veins, but the weight of the laser wound kept him still. His breath came ragged.Daniel’s laughter deepened, echoing in the workshop like a cruel bell. “Do you know w
THE CROWN OF POWER
The master servant stood frozen for a heartbeat. The blue glow in the driver’s eyes unsettled him, but his pride did not allow him to step back. His jaw tightened, his fists were clenched, and his voice came sharp, dripping with rage.“You bastard…” he hissed, his body lowering into a defensive stance.The servants gasped at his boldness. They had never seen their master servant shaken, but they had never seen a delivery man stand like this either.The driver— who was actually Marvin Richmond in disguise—did not even flinch. His hand rose slightly, fingers curling as though pulling on invisible strings.A sudden surge of invisible power rushed through the hall. The master servant’s feet left the ground. He was lifted high into the air, his arms flailing as panic finally cracked through his composure.“No—!”His cry was cut short. Marvin flicked his wrist, and the man’s body slammed against the marble wall with a bone-rattling crack. The impact shook the hall, dust drifting from the c
STRANGER IN THE MANSION
The Richmond Estate carried the stillness of a painting.It was another regular evening, the kind of evening that wrapped the estate in quiet dignity. The lawns were trimmed sharp and neat, fountains whispered as water fell into marble basins, and the golden glow from chandeliers spilled out of tall windows. Guards walked their rounds with steady boots against the stone paths, while servants moved briskly inside, setting dinner tables, polishing banisters, and checking that the house gleamed like the fortress of wealth it was.For the Richmonds, this was normal. Nothing about tonight seemed unusual.That illusion cracked when the rumble of an approaching van broke the silence.The security guards at the main gate tensed. Their hands brushed over their holsters as the headlights swept across the steel bars. The van slowed, then came to a stop just in front of the checkpoint. The driver rolled down his window, his plain cap was pulled low on his head.“Good evening, sir,” he said wit
THE ASHES OF ORION
The fire was gone, but its shadow remained.Dawn broke slowly, spilling weak sunlight over the hospital ruins. The orange glow of night was replaced with a dull gray haze. The smell of smoke still hung in the air, bitter and choking. Black ash floated like snowflakes, drifting down on the gravel, the grass, the burned walls that still smoked in silence.Marvin sat on the ground, his back pressed against a broken concrete block. His shirt was torn, his skin streaked with soot, his face was pale. His chest rose and fell heavily, every breath was rough against his throat. He had no strength left—not to cry, not to scream, not even to stand.He was simply there.His hands hung limp on his knees, trembling slightly. His lips were cracked, his voice gone. He had shouted through the night, fought the fire with everything he had, and in the end… nothing. The hospital stood in ruins, and the flames had stolen his world.The firefighters had done their job. Their hoses sprayed arcs of water th
