The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 35: Whispers in the Darkness
Luna was about to say something when, just then, Jack pressed his hand over her mouth. Luna looked at Jack with a questioning gaze. Jack leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Stay quiet."Though Luna hadn’t fully understood, her sixth sense told her, "Stay quiet now." Responding to her sixth sense, she stayed silent."What happened?" James asked in a hushed voice.In response, Jack signaled for him to stay quiet by putting a finger to his lips. James understood and fell silent. But the question lingering in both their minds was, Why did Jack act like that?It seemed like the answer to their question came when the cheetah suddenly roared. James lifted his head, peeking through a gap in the tree, and saw a large cheetah standing not far from them. It wasn’t exactly standing—it was sniffing something, probably their scent. To confirm James’s thought, the cheetah started moving toward them. Jack saw it too. His body language had made it clear. Luna, too, had probably noticed it.Jack
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 36: A Mysterious Savior in the Night
The fire was dying down. What would happen now? Would they have to die at the hands of the cheetahs?"If I have to die, I’ll fight to the end," Luna resolved firmly to herself. She took Jack's knife. She also removed another wooden stick from her waist. Knife in her right hand, stick in her left. Luna knew she couldn't win against both cheetahs, but still, she couldn’t just give up without a fight.At one point, the fire completely went out. One of the cheetahs had come to the cave entrance. It seemed to be waiting to pounce on them. Before the cheetah could strike, Luna leaped at it. She drove the knife into its chest. The cheetah had let out a deafening roar, one that could make your ears ring.The cheetah had thrown Luna off with a swipe, sending her tumbling away. She lost both the knife and the stick in the fall. She also injured her waist. Meanwhile, the injured cheetah continued to roar on the ground. The other cheetah was now charging toward Luna. It got very close. Luna reali
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 37: A Vampire’s Secret
Where had Jack gone? Had something happened to him? A flood of disjointed thoughts gathered in Luna’s mind. No! Nothing happened to Jack. She reassured herself. Nothing could happen to Jack. She tried to push away the chaotic thoughts from her mind. She stepped out of the cave. Looking around, she began searching for Jack. Suddenly, her gaze became stuck in one direction. There, sitting on the ground, Jack was deeply focused on something. He was so absorbed in it that he seemed unaware of anything happening around him. But what was Jack doing there? Luna walked over to Jack. She placed a hand on his back. Jack jumped in surprise. "Oh! Luna. You." he said. "Why? Were you expecting someone else?" Luna asked. "No-no, it's not that." Jack stammered. "Actually, I got a little startled." "So, what are you doing sitting here?" "This." Jack showed her a bright white locket. "I came to find you, and suddenly I found this here." Luna furrowed her brow as she looked at the locket. She
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 38: Face to Face with Danger
A dense, thick jungle. One tree seemed to lean against another. Along with that, there were small shrubs and vines. They struggled to move forward, cutting through these obstacles. Every now and then, they got scratched. It was like being in the very depths of hell."I can't go on anymore." Luna, bent over, supporting herself on her knees, stopped walking. "I can't take another step." She was panting heavily."You have to," Jack said. He was also panting. "I'm struggling too. But that doesn't mean we can just stop.""Right. Okay, fine, we’ll keep going. But we need a little rest now.""Okay, fine. Sit down then."The two of them sat down on the ground. They shared the last of the water in the bottle."How much longer like this?" Luna suddenly asked. "Where will we find them?""I don’t know." Jack shook his head. "But we have to keep trying. Until we die, if we must.""Then get up," Luna urged him."Hmm, let's go."They continued through the jungle. It was so dark that they had to use
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 39: A Mysterious Reunion
Everyone was right in front of them—Max, Sofia, Tulip, Teresa, and James. They had all been stunned. The others were equally shocked. However, Jack and Luna had just been happy that they were alive. "You're alive?" Jack asked, his voice filled with excitement. "Can't you see?" Max laughed. "Well, I can see that." "Then why are you asking again?" "Anyway, how did you end up here? Tell us everything." One by one, they explained everything to Jack and Luna. Jack and Luna also shared their story. Shortly after, someone came and gave them food. They weren't able to see the person's face. "Wow!" Jack exclaimed. "Looks like there's food here too." "Hmm." Max shook his head. "Every day someone brings us food." "But we don't know who's keeping us captive here," Tulip said. "Probably a vampire's keeping us," Luna said. "But why would a vampire keep us here? They would have drained our blood the moment they caught us," Max said. Just as Max was about to say something, someone came in
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 40: The Final Countdown to the Full Moon
Evangeline was hiding herself like this, but why? And why was she introducing herself as Eva? "There must be a big secret behind this," said Jack. In response, Max said, "I can understand that too. But what is that secret?" Jack exhaled with a hiss and said, "I don't know." Tulip said, "I am thinking about something else." "What?" "Who has trapped us here? And what do they gain by keeping us trapped?" "That too is something to think about," Jack nodded absentmindedly. "They have trapped us here, true. But have you seen the food? So many delicious dishes? And they are giving it to us on time. Apart from being trapped, they aren’t causing us any other trouble." Max said, "I don’t understand anything. Nothing is making sense." Suddenly, the sound of a lock opening was heard. At that sound, everyone fell silent. The door opened, and, as usual, a vampire entered. "The Emperor has called you," it said as it entered. Max said, "Didn't I just meet with him a little while ago?" "When
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 41: Evangeline's Secret
Max and Tulip run towards the door. But going there did no good; it didn’t work. The door was made of iron. There wasn’t even the slightest crack through which something from the outside could be seen. "Who could it be?" Max said, turning back from the door. In response, Jack said, "Evangeline. It has to be Evangeline." "Why do you think so?" Luna asked. "From the voice. I’m sure that’s Evangeline’s voice." "Yeah, it could be," James, who came closer to them, spoke up. "I’ve heard Evangeline’s voice before. This is definitely Evangeline’s voice." "So Evangeline is secretly helping us," Tulip said absent-mindedly. "But why is she pretending not to know us?" Max said, "There’s probably a mystery behind this." "But what could that mystery be?" Jack seemed to be questioning himself. "What should we do now?" Max asked. "I don’t know. We’re stuck in a place from which escaping seemed impossible. And we only had one more day. After that, we’d die. I couldn’t even tell whether it wa
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 42: The Vampire's Dilemma: Good vs. Evil
"Let's go out now, then," James suggested. He looked at Evangeline, waiting for her response."No," Evangeline shook her head. "We can't go now.""Why?""There are many vampires here. But not all of them are bad.""Are you serious?" Jack exclaimed. "Even among vampires, there are good and bad ones?""Yes, there are. Why? Am I a vampire, and am I not good?""No, that's not what I mean. Never mind, let's get back to the point.""Yeah, as I was saying," Evangeline started again. "Not all vampires are good. Some are on Theodoros's side. Even though Theodoros wasn't awake at that time, his loyal vampires were still active. Besides, I couldn't even go near the pond because of them.""So, what will we do now?""We have to kill them.""The vampires?""Yeah.""But how?""Listen, I'll tell you.""Okay, go ahead.""First, we needed to make them unconscious by letting them smell the fragrance of Ultra-Desmond. Then we had to drive a wooden stake into their hearts to kill them.""What’s this Ultra

"Luke, aren't your pants made of denim?" Jack suddenly asked."Ugh!" Luke swatted a mosquito away. Then he said, "Yeah, it's denim. Why, what's up?""Can your phone's battery be removed?""Yeah, it can.""That'll do.""What'll do?""Charging," Jack said mysteriously."Charging what?" Luke asked, confused."Ugh, just do something quickly!" Lily said impatiently, smacking her own cheek — actually swatting a mosquito. "These bloodsuckers are going to drain us dry."Ignoring Lily, Jack told Luke to take out his phone's battery. Luke fumbled in the dark and managed to remove it. "Now what?" he asked."Rub the battery's charging slot against your jeans," Jack instructed.Finally, Luke understood. As an engineering student, he felt embarrassed that such a simple idea hadn't crossed his mind. Without another word, he firmly rubbed the battery's charging slot against his pants. Though they couldn’t see in the dark, the rough scratching sound made it clear he was doing it.Jack said, "Once you'
Chapter 105: A Faint Hope in the Jungle
They had been walking for quite a while. Everyone was exhausted. Suddenly, Orin dropped onto a pine log, declaring that he couldn’t go any further. The others were just as worn out, so they all decided to rest right there. They had lunch with the water and the deer meat they had with them. After a short break, they set off again."How much longer do we have to keep walking?" Lily asked impatiently."Until we find the Yaku River," Jack replied indifferently."In other words, until we get rescued," Luke added."Yeah, exactly," Jack agreed."Do you think we’ll actually get rescued?" Orin asked, his voice filled with doubt."Hmm." Jack sighed. "Only time will tell.""And when exactly will that time come?" Lily asked impatiently.Suddenly, Jack stopped in his tracks, making everyone else pause in surprise. Lily was about to ask what was wrong, but Jack raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet. She fell silent immediately.Jack stood still, straining his ears to catch something. "Do you g
Chapter 104: Flickers in the Firelight
Lily stared at the fire. It burned brightly, its orange glow lighting up everything around it. Nocturnal animals filled the jungle with their calls, the constant noise almost deafening to Lily. She had been awake for quite a while now. Around midnight, she was supposed to wake Jack. She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time, but it was dead. No charge. Finally, she glanced at her wristwatch. In the dim light, she saw that it was already twelve. Just as she was about to wake Jack, she noticed him sitting on the hammock. That meant he had woken up on his own."When did you wake up?" Lily asked."Just a little while ago," Jack replied."Well, good thing you did. I was about to wake you.""Alright then, you get some sleep. I’ll keep watch."Lily wished him goodnight and lay down. Jack sat quietly on the hammock. After a while, he noticed the firewood was running low. The flames were almost out. He climbed down, added a few branches onto the glowing embers, and went back to
Chapter 103: Where’s Luke?
Orin is scared. She doesn’t know what to do now. Should she call out to them?No, that might startle the animals. That could make things even worse. When animals get startled, they become aggressive.What are those two?Tigers, bears, or leopards? Or something else?Orin hasn’t seen the animals yet. But from their growls, she can tell they’re fierce and large. The animals are slowly approaching the camp. Yes, there are two of them. Orin sees four eyes glowing in the darkness. One animal wouldn’t have four eyes. Nor would it have just one. Each animal has two eyes, so there must be two of them.The animals crept closer and closer until they reached Jack’s hammock. Orin’s heart pounded wildly in her chest. She was frozen with indecision. Then suddenly, an idea struck her.Luke was lying in the hammock closest to Orin. She poked him with a stick. He didn’t wake the first time, but on the second try, he stirred. As he sat up, he was about to make a sound, but Orin quickly put a finger to
Chapter 102: Right in Front of You
The jaguar was about fifteen feet away from them. A distance it could cover in a single leap. And it wouldn't take more than a few moments for it to make that jump.The jaguar leaped from its position. It was mid-air when something extraordinary happened. The smallest and most frightened among them stepped forward. Without a second thought, it lunged at the beast, which was at least twenty-five times its size. It knew it stood no chance, knew it would meet certain death, yet it leaped — only to save its friends. It could have run away and saved itself.Though it couldn't match the jaguar's strength, Don managed to hold it off for a few moments with sheer cunning. Don's sharp claws slashed across the jaguar's face. The sight of such a tiny dog daring to attack enraged the jaguar even more. With a shake of its head, it hurled Don to the ground. Even after hitting the ground, Don didn't give up. It charged again at the jaguar. But this time, Don couldn't hold it off. The jaguar struck th
Chapter 101: The Black Terror
Don stared at the large bush with a fearful gaze, barking furiously."Hey Don, what's wrong now?" Lily grabbed Don's collar and asked. Don glanced at Lily once, then turned back to the bush and started barking again."There's something over there," Jack said in a serious tone.Everyone immediately turned to look at him. "Something dangerous?" Orin's eyebrows furrowed."Yeah!" Jack nodded absentmindedly. "Something dangerous.""I think so too," Luke added. "There's definitely something scary over there."The two girls grew even more frightened after hearing Luke and Jack. "What do we do now?" Orin asked, her voice trembling.Without answering, Luke readied his bow and arrow. Jack picked up the wooden spear. The girls didn’t need to be told what to do. Watching Jack and Luke prepare was enough for them to understand. They each grabbed a spear and got ready.Don kept barking non-stop. No matter what they did, they couldn’t calm him down. At one point, Orin saw a shadow moving on the othe
Chapter 100: Don the Defender
The fastest snake in the world is the black mamba. It can cover nearly five meters per second. It is also one of the deadliest venomous snakes on Earth, said to rank just behind the king cobra. Interestingly, the black mamba isn’t black at all; its body is a dark grayish-olive color, though at birth, even that shade isn’t present. As it grows older, its color deepens. The name "black mamba" comes from the inky black color inside its mouth. When threatened, it raises its head high like a king cobra and hisses loudly — just like it was doing now. The black mamba doesn’t stop after one strike; it bites repeatedly, pumping venom into its enemy. Its venom is primarily neurotoxic, attacking the nervous system directly. Just a single drop is enough to cause a heart attack and kill a full-grown human in fifteen minutes.The snake was so close, it wouldn’t take a second to lunge at Luke. Death stood right before him, and he knew it. He could see no hope of escaping alive.The snake raised half
Chapter 99: Where’s Luke?
After searching for quite a while, Luke couldn't find anything except four bird eggs. Finally, feeling frustrated, he sat down on a tree stump. But then, he quickly realized that sitting still wouldn't do. He had been out for quite a while. If he took any longer, they would start to worry. So, sitting there was no use. It would be better to head back to the camp. Surely, Jack must have found something. But what if, just like him, Jack didn't find anything? The thought made Luke pause. Then what would they do with these four eggs? They would have to go hungry.A bunch of such thoughts kept swirling in Luke’s mind. At that moment, he noticed a bush rustling nearby. He knew that bushes don’t move on their own. Someone was disturbing it. So there must be something inside. But what was it? A dangerous, fierce animal? Luke didn’t want to think further. He quickly moved behind a tree for cover, keeping his ears alert for any sound, ready to hear the slightest noise. He kept his gaze fixed on
Chapter 98: Out of the Darkness
Lily opened her eyes and saw someone leaning towards her. At first, it was unclear, but slowly, the face became clearer. Seeing Jack, a spark of joy flashed in her eyes.Lily couldn’t speak. She didn’t have the strength to speak. Only a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Jack gave her water to drink. Lily lay on his lap. In this condition, there was no way Lily could climb the vine. So, he would have to figure out how to lift her. But how?Jack sank deep into thought. His mind had already started working to find a solution. Within moments, the path to a solution revealed itself to him. Now, they just needed an extra vine. One that was right above, near Luke.Luke and Orin were sitting above, holding their phone's flash at the mouth of the hole. They waited eagerly. At that moment, they heard Jack’s call. He needed another vine. Without delay, Luke threw one end of the vine into the hole. He held the other end himself.As soon as the vine was in hand, Jack began his work.
